Abstract

A display apparatus includes a main body; a power receiver configured to receive power from a wireless power transmission apparatus positioned outside of the main body; a driver configured to move the power receiver with respect to the main body; and a controller configured to control the driver to move the power receiver toward the main body or toward the wireless power transmission apparatus.

Claims

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a main body;

a power receiver configured to receive power from a wireless power transmission apparatus positioned outside of the main body;

a driver configured to move the power receiver with respect to the main body; and

a controller configured to control the driver to move the power receiver toward the main body or toward the wireless power transmission apparatus.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the controller comprises a processor configured to control operations of the display apparatus using the power received through the power receiver,

wherein in response to the display apparatus being in a standby state, the processor is configured to control the driver to move the power receiver to a first position at the main body, and

wherein in response to the display apparatus being in a turn-on state, the processor is configured to control the driver to move the power receiver from the first position at the main body in a direction of the wireless power transmission apparatus to a second position away from the main body.

3. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the power receiver comprises a first power receiving coil configured to generate an induced current by a magnetic field generated in the wireless power transmission apparatus, and

wherein the main body comprises a second power receiving coil electrically connected to the first power receiving coil, the second power receiving coil being configured to receive the induced current generated by the first power receiving coil.

4. The display apparatus of claim 3, wherein the driver comprises:

a plurality of connection lines connected to the power receiver;

a plurality of bobbins connected to the plurality of connection lines; and

a motor configured to wind or unwind the plurality of connection lines by rotating the plurality of bobbins in a clockwise direction or in a counter-clockwise direction.

5. The display apparatus of claim 4, wherein each of the plurality of connection lines comprises:

a coil wire electrically connecting the first power receiving coil to the second power receiving coil; and

an insulating sheath surrounding the coil wire.

6. The display apparatus of claim 5, wherein each of the plurality of bobbins comprises:

a plate provided with a through hole; and

a base coupled to the plate, the base including a guide groove configured to guide the plurality of connection lines; and

wherein the plurality of connection lines passes through the through hole of the plate and is fixed to the guide groove.

7. The display apparatus of claim 6, wherein the base comprises a plurality of threads on which the plurality of connection lines is wound, the plurality of threads being formed on a second surface opposite to a first surface coupled to the plate.

8. The display apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a standby power supplier configured to supply driving power to the driver and to the controller.

9. The display apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a sensor configured to measure a distance between the main body and the wireless power transmission apparatus,

wherein in response to the display apparatus being turned on, the controller is configured to control the driver to move the power receiver toward the wireless power transmission apparatus until the distance measured by the sensor satisfies a predetermined distance range.

10. The display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the power receiver further comprises a speaker.

11. A driving method of a display apparatus, the driving method comprising:

positioning a power receiver included in the display apparatus on a main body of the display apparatus in response to the display apparatus being in a standby state;

moving the power receiver in a direction of a wireless power transmission apparatus in response to the display apparatus being turned on, the wireless power transmission apparatus being positioned outside of the main body of the display apparatus; and

receiving power transmitted from the wireless power transmission apparatus through the power receiver and operating the display apparatus.

12. The method of driving a display apparatus of claim 11, wherein the moving the power receiver comprises:

measuring a distance between the main body of the display apparatus and the wireless power transmission apparatus; and

moving the power receiver in the direction of the wireless power transmission apparatus until the distance satisfies a predetermined reference range.

13. A display system comprising:

a wireless power transmission apparatus; and

a display apparatus configured to operate using power transmitted from the wireless power transmission apparatus,

wherein the display apparatus comprises;

a power receiver configured to wirelessly receive the power from the wireless power transmission apparatus;

a driver configured to move the power receiver with respect to a main body of the display apparatus; and

a processor configured to control the driver to move the power receiver from the main body toward the wireless power transmission apparatus in response to the display apparatus being turned on.

14. The display system of claim 13, further comprising at least one electronic apparatus interlocked with the display apparatus using the power transmitted from the wireless power transmission apparatus.

15. The display system of claim 13, further comprising a remote control signal receiver disposed in the wireless power transmission apparatus and the display apparatus, respectively,

wherein in response to a turn-on signal of the display apparatus being received by the remote control signal receiver, the wireless power transmission apparatus is configured to apply a current to a power transmission coil provided in the wireless power transmission apparatus to generate a magnetic field.

16. The display system of claim 13, further comprising a speaker included in at least one of the wireless power transmission apparatus and the power receiver.
