Abstract

A display device and a calibration method thereof are provided. The device may wirelessly receive an image source, display an image based on the image source, convert the received wireless image into a wired image and output the wired image to other display devices which are connected thereto to thereby receive the image source wirelessly and may display an image through a plurality of display devices. A display apparatus includes: a wireless receiver which receives a wireless image signal from an image source device; an image processor which processes an image based on the received wireless image signal; a display which displays the processed image thereon; a signal converter which converts the received wireless image signal into a wired image signal; a wired output part which outputs the converted wired image signal to other display devices connected to the display device; and a controller which outputs the wired image signal to the other display devices and controls the display in order to display the processed image thereon in response to the wireless image signal being input. This may prevent signal deterioration resulting from a long signal cable, long installation time and high installation costs which may arise when the plurality of display devices are connected in a wired manner.

Claims

1. A display device which forms a display system the display device comprising:

a wireless receiver configured to receive a wireless image signal from an image source;

an image processor configured to process an image based on the received wireless image signal;

a display configured to display the processed image thereon;

a signal converter configured to convert the received wireless image signal into a wired image signal;

a wired output configured to output the converted wired image signal to other display devices connected to the display device; and

a controller configured to output the wired image signal to the other display devices and control the display in order to display the processed image thereon in response to the wireless image signal being input.

2. The display device according to claim 1, wherein at least two of the wireless receiver, the image processor and the signal converter are provided as a single circuit element.

3. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the image processor comprises a signal divider configured to divide the received wireless image signal into two image signals, and processes an image based on one of the two image signals, and the signal converter is configured to convert the other one of the two image signals into the wired image signal.

4. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the image processor comprises a decoder configured to decode the received wireless image signal.

5. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the wired output is configured to output through serial communication the wired image signal to a wired input part of the other display devices.

6. The display device according to claim 1, wherein the controller is configured to control the display in order to display thereon a portion of areas of the processed image.

7. A method of calibrating a display device which forms a display system, the calibration method comprising:

receiving a wireless image signal from an image source device;

processing an image based on the received wireless image signal;

converting the received wireless image signal into a wired image signal;

outputting the converted wired image signal to other display devices connected to the display device; and

displaying the processed image.

8. The calibration method according to claim 7, wherein processing the image comprises dividing the received wireless image signal into two image signals;

and

processing an image based on one of the two image signals.

9. The calibration method according to claim 8, wherein converting the received wireless image comprises converting the other one of the two image signals into the wired image signal.

10. The calibration method according to claim 7, wherein processing the image comprises decoding the received wireless image signal.

11. The calibration method according to claim 7, further comprising outputting the converted wired image signal to a wired input of the other display devices through serial communication.

12. The calibration method according to claim 7, wherein displaying the image comprises displaying a portion of areas of the processed image.

13. A display device comprising:

an image processor configured to process an image based on a received wireless image signal;

a signal converter configured to convert the received wireless image signal into a wired image signal; and
