The display apparatus includes a display; a communicator configured to communicate with at least one home appliance; a storage configured to store a user setting message; and a controller configured to control the communicator to communicate with a home appliance selected by a user, and to display the user setting message on the display according to a preset condition satisfaction signal in response to the preset condition satisfaction signal being received from the home appliance.

Display apparatus and method of displaying a message

An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes: a plurality of USB terminals, a sensor configured to sense a current of each of the connected USB devices and output current information in response to a USB device being connected to each of the plurality of USB terminals; a controller configured to determine whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied based on the current information output from the sensor and permissible current information related to a current that is allowed to be supplied to the plurality of USB terminals, and output a message according to a result of the determination; and an outputter configured to output the message. Accordingly, a user may connect a USB device to a certain USB terminal without having to identify a current capacity, and thus user convenience is improved.

Electronic apparatus including USB terminals and control method thereof based on current of USB devices connected to USB terminals

A display apparatus and a control method which receives a user's input by using a manipulation panel are provided. The display apparatus includes: an image processor; a display unit; a user input unit which includes a manipulation panel; and a controller which controls the display unit to display a user interface (UI) including a number keypad upon receiving a preset user's input from the user input unit and receives a user's selection to select a channel number from the number keypad according to a user's input to the direction key. Thus, the direction keys are provided in the manipulation panel installed in a front or lateral side of the display apparatus and a user may input a desired channel number without difficulty when selecting channels through the manipulation panel.

Display apparatus and control method for controlling the display apparsatus using a manipulation panel

An image display apparatus having a function of charging an external device and a charging method thereof are provide. The image display apparatus includes a universal serial bus (USB) interface which is connected to an external device through a power supply line and a data transmission line, and a main controller which, if the external device is connected, activates one of the power supply line and the data transmission line according to a type of the external device. Accordingly, the image display apparatus controls a USB terminal to selectively perform a charging operation or a data transmission operation.

Image display apparatus having function of charging external device and charging method thereof

Mode conversion methods and display apparatuses thereof are provided. The method converts to a second mode in which the display apparatus displays an image inputted from a second source, if there is no input of an image signal from a first source during the display apparatus operates in a first mode in which the display apparatus displays the image inputted from the first source. According to the present invention, it is possible to convert a mode automatically based on the external input status. A user may be provided two modes conveniently using the conversion method.
