Abstract

A cable having a first input connector, a second input connector, a third input connector, and a single output connector is provided. The single output connector includes a single pin-shaped output terminal comprising a base and a tip which is disposed opposite to the base and is insertable into a terminal of a television apparatus. A luminance signal is received via the first input connector of the cable; a first color difference signal is received via the second input connector of the cable; and a second color difference signal is received via the third input connector of the cable. The luminance signal is output via a first region of the pin-shaped output terminal; the first color difference signal is output via a second region of the pin-shaped output terminal; and the second color difference signal is output via a third region of the pin-shaped output terminal.

Claims (24)

1. A method comprising:

providing a cable having a first input connector, a second input connector and a third input connector and a single output connector, the single output connector including a single pin-shaped output terminal comprising a base and a tip which is disposed opposite to the base and is insertable into a terminal of a television apparatus;

receiving a luminance signal via the first input connector of the cable;

receiving a first color difference signal via the second input connector of the cable;

receiving a second color difference signal via the third input connector of the cable;

outputting the luminance signal via a first region of the pin-shaped output terminal;

outputting the first color difference signal via a second region of the pin-shaped output terminal; and

outputting the second color difference signal via a third region of the pin-shaped output terminal,

wherein the first region, the second region, and the third region are sequentially formed lengthwise, in this order, from the tip to the base along the single pin-shaped output terminal.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an insulating material is disposed between the first region and the second region; and

an insulating material disposed between the second region and the third region.

3. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein an insulating material is disposed between the third region and a ground region.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

inserting the single pin-shaped output terminal into the terminal of the television apparatus in an inserting direction parallel to a back cover of the television apparatus.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first input connector, the second input connector, and the third input connector are the only connectors attached to the single pin-shaped output terminal.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

arranging the first input connector, the second input connector, and the third input connector lengthwise with respect to one another so that the first input connector, the second input connector, and the third input connector do not overlap one another, while the tip of the single pin-shaped output terminal is inserted into the terminal of the television, thereby facilitating a close attachment of the television to a wall.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising:

arranging the first input connector at a first length from the base of the single pin-shaped output terminal;

arranging the second input connector at a second length from the base of the single pin-shaped output terminal; and

arranging the third input connector at a third length from the base of the single pin-shaped output terminal,

wherein any one of the first length, the second length and the third length is different from one another.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the second length is greater than the first length by at least a length of the first input connector, and

the third length is greater than the second length by at least a length of the second input connector, so that the first, second and third input connectors do not overlap one another while being arranged lengthwise with respect to one another.
