Display apparatus for use in vehicle and control method therefor

Abstract

A display device including, a display panel including a plurality of pixels on a front surface; a housing including a housing opening through which the display panel enters or exits; a first sensor unit configured to sense a temperature of the display panel; a second sensor unit configured to sense an internal temperature of the housing; a pixel sensing unit configured to sense an active area in which the plurality of pixels are in an active state and an inactive area in which the plurality of pixels are in an inactive state; a functional status calculation unit configured to calculate a functional status of each of the plurality of pixels on the basis of information received from the first sensor unit, the second sensor unit, and the pixel sensing unit; a weight calculation unit configured to calculate a function weight on the basis of functional status of each of the plurality of pixels and calibrate a lifespan of each of the plurality of pixels on the basis of the calculated function weight; and a pixel calibration unit configured to calibrate luminance of the plurality of pixels and calibrate color between the plurality of pixels.
