Abstract

An exemplary digital picture display includes a display panel (220), a supporting element (240), and a control section. The display panel is arranged for displaying digital pictures. The supporting element is arranged for supporting the display panel. The control section is arranged for rotating and scaling a digital picture to match with a resolution of the display panel, and rotating the display panel.

Claims

1. A digital picture display, comprising:

a display panel arranged for displaying a digital picture;

a supporting element arranged for supporting the display panel; and

a control section arranged for rotating and scaling a digital picture to match with a resolution of the display panel, and rotating the display panel.

2. The digital picture display as claimed in claim 1, further comprising an inputting unit arranged for receiving digital pictures.

3. The digital picture display as claimed in claim 2, wherein the control section comprises a microprocessor unit for receiving the digital pictures from the inputting unit, and rotating and/or scaling the digital picture to match with the resolution of the display panel.

4. The digital picture display as claimed in claim 3, wherein the microprocessor unit rotates the digital picture by 90 degrees to match with the resolution of the display panel while a resolution of the digital picture is converse to that of the display panel.

5. The digital picture display as claimed in claim 4, further comprising a frame for holding the display panel, and the frame being connected to the supporting element.

6. The digital picture display as claimed in claim 5, wherein the frame comprises a pivot, and the frame being connected to an end of the supporting element via the pivot.

7. The digital picture display as claimed in claim 6, further comprising a motor, the control section controlling the motor to drive the frame to rotate around the pivot.

8. The digital picture display as claimed in claim 7, further comprising a detecting circuit and a driving circuit, the detecting circuit receives a control signal from the microprocessor unit, and outputs a control signal to the driving circuit, the driving circuit drives the motor to rotate according to the control signal.

9. The digital picture display as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a memory used for storing digital pictures.

10. The digital picture display as claimed in claim 9, wherein the memory is a non-volatile memory.

11. The digital picture display as claimed in claim 10, wherein the memory comprises at least one of the following:

an erasable flash memory, an electrically erasable programmable read only memory, and a complementary metal oxide semiconductor memory.

12. A digital picture display, comprising:

an inputting unit arranged for receiving a digital picture;

a processor arranged for processing the digital picture;

a display panel arranged for displaying the digital picture; and

a detecting circuit being connected to the processor,

wherein the detecting circuit detects a resolution of the digital picture, and sends a control signal to the processor, the processor rotates and/or scales the digital picture according to the control signal, in order to match with the resolution of the display panel.

13. The digital picture display as claimed in claim 12, wherein the processor unit rotates the digital picture by 90 degrees to match with the resolution of the display panel while a resolution of the digital picture is different from that of the display panel,

14. The digital picture display as claimed in claim 13, further comprising a frame arranged for holding the display panel, a supporting element arranged for supporting the frame, a pivot connecting the frame and the supporting element, and a motor arranged for driving the frame to rotate around the pivot.

15. The digital picture display as claimed in claim 14, wherein the detecting circuit drives the motor to rotate the frame around the pivot.

16. The digital picture display as claimed in claim 14, further comprising a control unit arranged for inputting control signal to the processor.

17. The digital picture display as claimed in claim 15, further comprising a memory used for storing digital picture information.

18. The digital picture display as claimed in claim 16, wherein the memory is a non-volatile memory.
