Apparatus, method and medium for controlling image orientation
First Claim
1. An apparatus for controlling an orientation of image data, the apparatus comprising:
- a display panel rotatable about two axes, the rotation of said display panel about at least one of the two axes setting an orientation of the display panel with respect to each of the two axes, the display panel orientation being selectable according to each of a plurality of rotational angles, each rotational angle corresponding to an orientation mode for determining a display angle of original image data; and
an orientation mode detector, installed in said display panel, configured to detect the set orientation of the display panel and to determine the orientation mode based on the detected orientation.

Abstract
An apparatus, method, and medium for controlling image orientation are disclosed. An orientation mode detector measures multi-directional rotational angles of a display panel and determines an orientation mode for original image data based on the measured rotational angles. A system memory stores orientation parameters corresponding to a plurality of image orientation modes. A system controller initially acquires information indicating the orientation mode from the orientation mode detector, and it extracts orientation parameters corresponding to the acquired information from the system memory. Finally, a driver changes an orientation of the original image data according to the extracted orientation parameters.

9. An apparatus for controlling an orientation of image data, the apparatus comprising:
-
a display panel being rotatable about two axes, the rotation of said display panel about at least one of the two axes setting a disposition of the display panel with respect to each of the two axes, the display panel disposition being selectable according to each of a plurality of discrete rotational angles, each rotational angle corresponding to an orientation mode for determining a display angle of original image data; a first hinge centrally disposed on a rear surface of said display panel, said first hinge enabling rotation of said display panel with respect to a first axis perpendicular to said a second hinge coupled to said first hinge, said second hinge enabling rotation of said display panel with respect to a second axis perpendicular to the first axis; a first sensor, installed in said display panel, configured to detect a first rotational angle of said display panel about the first axis in response to a user'"'"'s movement of said display panel on said first hinge; and a second sensor, installed in said display panel, configured to detect a second rotational angle of said display panel about the second axis in response to a user'"'"'s movement of said display panel said second hinge. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
