An image display apparatus can include a rollable display; a drive part configured to roll up or roll down the rollable display; a user input interface configured to receive a signal from a remote controller; and a controller configured to set the image display apparatus in a standby mode having the rollable display in a non-viewable retracted, in response to receiving a user input signal from the remote controller, transition the rollable display from the non-viewable retracted state to a partial view state having a first height and display at least one object on the rollable display, and in response to receiving a voice input while in the partial view state, transition the rollable display from the partial view state to a main view state having a second and display a content item corresponding to the voice input.

Image display apparatus

A multimedia device and controlling method thereof are disclosed, by which heterogeneous devices are controlled under at least two different communication protocols. The present invention includes displaying a guide message for controlling at least one function of the electronic device, receiving a remote control signal corresponding to a 1function among the at least one function from a 1remote controller of the electronic device, saving data for identifying the 1function and the received remote control signal in a memory by mapping the data and the received remote control signal to each other, displaying a graphic image including the data for identifying the 1function, if the data for identifying the 1function is selected by a 2remote controller of the multimedia device, extracting the remote control signal mapped to the 1function, and transmitting the extracted remote control signal to an external device.

Multimedia device connected to at least one electronic device and controlling method thereof

An image display apparatus is disclosed. The image display apparatus includes a rollable display, a drive unit to change a size of the display, an external device interface unit including a plurality of external input terminals, and a controller to control the display, wherein, based on an external input display command, the controller controls the drive unit to roll down the display and controls a plurality of external input objects corresponding to the plurality of external input terminals to be displayed at positions corresponding to the plurality of external input.

An image display apparatus includes a rollable display; a drive unit configured to roll up or roll down the rollable display; a network interface unit configured to exchange data with at least one mobile terminal; and a controller configured to change a height of the rollable display based on data received from the at least one mobile terminal.

An image display apparatus includes an audio output unit; a rollable display; a driving unit configured to change a size of the rollable display; an interface configured to receive a signal from a mobile terminal; and a controller configured to control the driving unit to unroll the rollable display in response to connecting with the mobile terminal.

An image display apparatus including a rollable display; a drive unit configured to roll up or roll down the rollable display; and a controller configured to in response to a first display command to display a first type of content, control the drive unit to roll up the rollable display to a first size based on the first type of the content, and in response to a second display command to display a second type of content, control the drive unit to roll up the rollable display to a second size based on the second type of the content.

An image display apparatus including a rollable display; a driving unit configured to change a size of the rollable display; an interface configured to receive a signal from a remote controller; and a controller configured to in response to an image display input, control the driving unit to unroll the rollable display, and display a first video, corresponding to a video to be displayed on the unrolled display, on a display of the remote controller and without displaying the video on the rollable display during the unrolling of the rollable display.

A remote controller and an image display apparatus having the same are disclosed. The remote controller includes a key input unit for receiving a specific key input, a touch screen for receiving a touch input, a wireless communication unit for transmitting and receiving data to and from an image display apparatus, and a controller for controlling the touch screen to display usage mode information in response to a user input to the key input unit. The controller is configured to, in response to a first touch input for selecting at least one of at least one usage mode indicated by the usage mode information displayed on the touch screen, enter the selected usage mode, and control the touch screen to display a user interface corresponding to the selected usage mode.

Remote controller and image display apparatus having the same

A method for operating an image display apparatus includes receiving a pairing request signal from a first remote controller, performing pairing with the first remote controller, receiving a pairing request signal from a second remote controller, confirming attributes of content which is being used, and determining whether pairing with the second remote controller is performed based on the confirmed attributes of the content. An image display apparatus includes an interface configured to receive a pairing request signal from a remote controller, a display configured to display predetermined content, and a controller configured to receive a pairing request signal from a second remote controller in a state of performing pairing with a first remote controller and to determine whether pairing with the second remote controller is performed based on attributes of the predetermined content. Accordingly, user convenience can be increased by variously and conveniently using the plurality of remote controllers.

Image display apparatus and method for operating the same

Multimedia device connected to at least one electronic device and controling method thereof

An image display apparatus for receiving and processing a broadcast signal and a method for operating the same are disclosed. The method includes displaying a home screen including a plurality of card objects, displaying a broadcast image and a favorite channel object representing favorite channels in a broadcast card object representing a broadcast image among the plurality of card objects, and displaying a favorite channel list including favorite channel items on the display, upon selection of the favorite channel object.

An image display apparatus and a method for operating the same are discussed. According to an embodiment, the method includes recognizing, by the image display apparatus, a specific gesture made with a user's hand as a first gesture; and displaying, on a screen of the display, a menu at a position of the screen corresponding to the position of the user's hand according to the recognized first gesture.

A multimedia device is disclosed in a specification. The multimedia device comprises a first interface, a memory to store a code value of a function corresponding to an electronic device coupled to the multimedia device through the first interface, and a controller to control information indicative of the function of the electronic device, obtain the code value stored in memory after receiving a first signal selecting the function, and transmit a second signal including the code value through a second interface coupled to a remote controller.

Remote controller and control method for a multimedia device

A multifunctional display device displays a first area containing a program received through a channel, a second area containing card objects, and a third area containing additional information of a downloadable applications selected in association with one of the card objects.
