Abstract

An adjustment method for a display device is provided. The display device includes a screen, a button and plural display modes including at least a first display mode and a second display mode. The adjustment method comprises steps of pressing the button once to display the first display mode on the screen when the display device is on, waiting for a waiting time when the first mode is desired to be selected, pressing the button again during the waiting time to display the second display mode on the screen when the first mode is not desired to be selected, and waiting for a waiting time when the second mode is desired to be selected.

Claims

1. An adjusting method for a display device, wherein the display device includes a screen, a button and plural display modes including at least a first display mode and a second display mode, the method comprising steps of:

pressing the button once to display the first display mode on the screen when the display device is on;

waiting for a waiting time when the first mode is desired to be selected;

pressing the button again during the waiting time to display the second display mode on the screen when the first mode is not desired to be selected; and

waiting for the waiting time when the second mode is desired to be selected.

2. A method of claim 1, further comprising a step of:

when the second mode is not desired to be selected, pressing the button again during the waiting time to display the first display mode if the plural display modes have only two display modes, and to display a next display mode if the plural display modes have more than two display modes.

3. A method of claim 1, wherein each of the plural display modes is one selected from a group consisting of a general mode, a text mode, a game mode, a movie mode, an X-contrast mode, an X-fine-tuning mode, an internet mode, a portrait mode, a scenery mode, a vivid mode, a sports mode and a diagram mode, and the plural display modes are different from one another.

4. A method of claim 1, wherein the waiting time is in a range of 2 to 5 seconds.

5. A method of claim 1, further comprising a step of pressing the button once to turn on the display device when the display device is off.

6. A method of claim 1, further comprising a step of pressing the button for a holding time to turn off the display device when the display device is on.

7. A method of claim 6, wherein the holding time is in a range of 2 to 5 seconds.

8. A method of claim 1, wherein each of the plural display modes comprises predetermined display parameters, each of which is one selected from a group consisting of a brightness, a contrast ratio, a color temperature, a gamma value and a sharpness, and the predetermined display parameters are different from one another.

9. A display device having plural display modes, comprising:

a button selecting a first display mode from the plural display modes, wherein the first display mode is selected by using only the button; and

a screen displaying the first display mode.

10. A display device of claim 9, wherein the display device is a flat panel display device.

11. A display device of claim 10, wherein the flat panel display device is one selected from a group consisting of a liquid crystal display device, a plasma display device, a light emitting diode display device, an organic light emitting diode display device and a carbon nano-tube display device.

12. A display device of claim 9, wherein the display device is used as one selected from a group consisting of a television, a monitor, a digital photo frame, a mobile phone and an image player.

13. A display device of claim 9, wherein each of the plural display modes is one selected from a group consisting of a general mode, a text mode, a game mode, a movie mode, an X-contrast mode, an X-fine-tuning mode, an internet mode, a portrait mode, a scenery mode, a vivid mode, a sports mode and a diagram mode, and the plural display modes are different from one another.

14. A display device of claim 9, wherein the button is used to turn on and to turn off the display device.

15. A display device of claim 14, wherein the button is pressed once to turn on the display device when the display device is off.

16. A display device of claim 14, wherein the button is pressed for a holding time to turn off the display device when the display device is on.

17. A display device of claim 16, the holding time is in a range of 2 to 5 seconds.

18. A display device of claim 9, wherein:

the plural display modes comprise at least the first display mode and a second display mode; and

one of the plural display modes is selected and displayed on the screen by steps comprising;

pressing the button to display the first display mode on the screen when the display device is on;

waiting a waiting time when the first display mode is desired to be selected;

pressing the button again during the waiting time to display the second display mode on the screen when the first mode is not desired to be selected;

waiting for the waiting time when the second mode is desired to be selected; and

when the second mode is not desired to be selected, pressing the button again during the waiting time to display the first display mode if the plural display modes have only two display modes, and to display a next display mode if the plural display modes have more than two display modes.

19. A display device of claim 18, wherein the waiting time is in a range of 2 to 5 seconds.

20. A display device of claim 9, wherein each of the display modes comprises predetermined display parameters, each of which is one selected from a group consisting of a brightness, a contrast ratio, a color temperature, a gamma value and a sharpness, and the predetermined display parameters are different from one another.
