DISPLAY APPARATUS AND SOUND CONTROL METHOD OF THE DISPLAY APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A display apparatus comprising:
- a display unit which displays an image thereon;
a sound processor which processes an audio signal which corresponds to the image displayed on the display unit and outputs the audio signal as a left audio signal and a right audio signal;
a sensor which detects a viewing direction of a user watching the display unit; and
a controller which controls the sound processor to individually adjust an extent of the left audio signal and an extent of the right audio signal corresponding to the detected viewing direction.

Abstract
A display apparatus and a sound control method of the display apparatus are provided. The display apparatus includes: a display unit which displays an image thereon; a sound processor which processes an audio signal corresponding to the image displayed on the display unit and outputs the signal as a left audio signal and a right audio signal; a sensor which detects a viewing direction of a user watching the display unit; and a controller which controls the sound processor to individually adjust an extent of the left audio signal and an extent of the right audio signal corresponding to the viewing direction. With this configuration, there are provided a display apparatus which outputs a sound to optimize effects of a three-dimensional (3D) image, and a sound control method of the same.
