Abstract

Disclosed are a display device and a method of controlling a display device, the display device including: an image processor configured to process an image; a display configured to display the image processed by the image processor; and a controller configured to determine a moving direction of at least one object having mobility in the image, and controls the image processor so that at least a partial region of the image can be stretched and displayed based on the determined moving direction.

Claims (30)

1. A display device comprising:

an image processor configured to process an image;

a display configured to display the image processed by the image processor; and

a controller configured to:

determine a focused object having mobility in the image from among a plurality of objects having mobility in the image;

determine a moving direction of the focused object having mobility in the image;

control the image processor to stretch only a partial region of the image corresponding to the focused object based on the determined moving direction of the focused object; and

control the display to display the stretched partial region of the image.

2. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:

determine at least one among a stretching degree, a shape, and a range of the partial region based on at least one among a kind of the image, a kind of the focused object, a size of the focused object, and a speed of the focused object.

3. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:

change the partial region based on a change in the moving direction of the focused object.

4. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:

control the image processor to gradually increase at least one of a stretching degree and a range for a plurality of partial regions of the image based on the moving direction of the focused object.

5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:

control the image processor to stretch at least the partial region of the image by a preset ratio with regard to the focused object.

6. A method of controlling a display device, the method comprising:

displaying a processed image;

determining a focused object having mobility in the image from among a plurality of objects having mobility in the image;

determining a moving direction of the focused object having mobility in the image;

stretching only a partial region of the image corresponding to the focused object based on the determined moving direction of the focused object; and

controlling the display device to display the stretched partial region of the image.

7. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

determining at least one of a stretching degree, a shape, and a range of the partial region based on at least one among a kind of the image, a kind of the object, a size of the focused object, and a speed of the focused object.

8. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

changing the partial region based on a change in the moving direction of the focused object.

9. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

gradually increasing at least one of a stretching degree and a range for a plurality of partial regions of the image based on the moving direction of the focused object.

10. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the stretching comprises:

stretching the partial region of the image by a preset ratio with regard to the focused object.
