Abstract

A display device includes: a video display unit displaying an image; a first operation input unit detecting an operation performed by a user contacting a sensor in a first direction; a second operation input unit detecting an operation performed by a user contacting a sensor in a second direction differing from the first direction; a front bezel in which the first operation input unit and the second operation input unit are arranged apart on different sides; and a controller causing the video display unit to display on-screen display screen including a first hierarchy menu displayed corresponding to the first direction, and a second hierarchy menu displayed corresponding to the second direction. The controller selects the first hierarchy menu based on the operation detected by the first operation input unit. The controller selects the second hierarchy menu based on the operation detected by the second operation input unit.

Claims

1. A display device comprising:

a video display unit that displays an image;

a first operation input unit that detects an operation in a first direction, the operation performed by a user contacting a sensor;

a second operation input unit that detects an operation in a second direction differing from the first direction, the operation performed by a user contacting a sensor;

a front bezel in which the first operation input unit and the second operation input unit are arranged apart on different sides; and

a controller that causes the video display unit to display on-screen display screen including a first hierarchy menu displayed corresponding to the first direction, and a second hierarchy menu displayed corresponding to the second direction, the controller selecting the first hierarchy menu based on the operation detected by the first operation input unit, and the controller selecting the second hierarchy menu based on the operation detected by the second operation input unit.

2. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the control unit causes the video display unit to display the on-screen display screen in which the cursor is moved within the first hierarchy menu in accordance with on an input operation amount and input operation direction detected by the first operation input unit, and the control unit causes the video display unit to display the on-screen display screen in which the cursor is moved within the second hierarchy menu according to an input operation amount and input operation direction detected by the second operation input unit.

3. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the control unit causes the video display unit to display the on-screen display screen in which a cursor is included in the first hierarchy menu, in a case where a cursor movement amount corresponding to an input operation amount and input operation direction detected by the second operation input unit exceeds a range of the second hierarchy menu.

4. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the first operation input unit and the second operation input unit are arranged at bottom right of the front bezel.

5. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the on-screen display screen is displayed near the first operation input unit and the second operation input unit.

7. The display device according to claim 2, wherein the control unit causes the video display unit to display the on-screen display screen in which a cursor is included in the first hierarchy menu, in a case where a cursor movement amount corresponding to an input operation amount and input operation direction detected by the second operation input unit exceeds a range of the second hierarchy menu.

8. The display device according to claim 2, wherein the first operation input unit and the second operation input unit are arranged at bottom right of the front bezel.

9. The display device according to claim 3, wherein the first operation input unit and the second operation input unit are arranged at bottom right of the front bezel.

10. The display device according to claim 2, wherein the on-screen display screen is displayed near the first operation input unit and the second operation input unit.

11. The display device according to claim 3, wherein the on-screen display screen is displayed near the first operation input unit and the second operation input unit.

12. The display device according to claim 4, wherein the on-screen display screen is displayed near the first operation input unit and the second operation input unit.

6. An on-screen display operation method for a display device, the method comprising:

displaying an image on a video display unit;

detecting an operation in a first direction by a first operation unit, the operation performed by a user contacting a sensor;

detecting an operation in a second direction differing from the first direction by a second operation unit, the operation performed by a user contacting a sensor; and

arranging a front bezel in which the first operation input unit and the second operation input unit are arranged apart on different sides;

causing the video display unit to display on-screen display screen including a first hierarchy menu displayed corresponding to the first direction, and a second hierarchy menu displayed corresponding to the second direction;

performing a process of selection of the first hierarchy menu based on the operation detected by the first operation input unit; and

performing a process of selection of the second hierarchy menu based on the operation detected by the second operation input unit.
