Organic light emitting diode display device and method for operating the same

1. An organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device comprising:

a communication transceiver configured to connect with a terminal;

a display including pixels constituted by OLEDs; and

a controller configured to:

receive mirroring image data, which corresponds to a screen displayed on the terminal, through the communication transceiver,

control the display to display a mirroring image on an area of the display based on the received mirroring image data, and

adjust brightness of the displayed mirroring image based on an average picture level (APL) of the displayed mirroring image.

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

acquire an APL of a frame of the mirroring image from the mirroring image data,

calculate an APL variation by comparing the acquired APL with a previously-acquired APL, and

adjust the brightness of the displayed mirroring image, based on the calculated APL variation.

3. The OLED display device of claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to:

maintain the brightness of the displayed mirroring image when the acquired APL is less than the reference APL, and

decrease the brightness of the displayed mirroring image, based on the APL variation when the acquired APL is equal to or greater than a reference APL.

4. The OLED display device of claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to:

acquire an APL at a predetermined frame interval of the mirroring image, and

decrease the brightness of the displayed mirroring image, when maintaining, for a threshold time, a state that the APL variation between the acquired APL and the previously-acquired APL is less than a reference variation.

5. The OLED display device of claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to:

display a broadcast image, which is received from a broadcast reception interface, on the display,

display the mirroring image by overlaying the mirroring image with the area of the broadcast image, and

adjust the brightness of the displayed mirroring image of an area where the mirroring image is displayed based on the APL variation.

6. The OLED display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:

adjust the brightness by adjusting a transparency of the displayed mirroring image.

7. The OLED display device of claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to:

periodically acquire an APL of the mirroring image,

increase a count when an APL variation between the acquired APL and the previously-acquired APL is less than a reference variation, and

decrease the brightness of the displayed mirroring image, when the count arrives at a threshold count or exceeds the threshold count.

8. The OLED display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to:

when decreasing the brightness of the displayed mirroring image,

acquire an APL of the mirroring image at a predetermined frame interval based on the mirroring image data received from the terminal, and

increase the brightness of the displayed mirroring image, based on an APL variation between the acquired APL and the previously-acquired APL.

9. The OLED display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

when decreasing the brightness of the displayed mirroring image,

increase the brightness of the displayed mirroring image, in response to a wake-up signal received from the terminal as a state of the terminal is changed.

10. The OLED display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

display a mirroring menu on the display, and

after decreasing the brightness of the displayed mirroring image, increase the brightness of the displayed mirroring image in response to a selection input of the mirroring menu.

11. A method for operating an OLED display device, the method comprises:

receiving mirroring image data, which corresponds to a screen displayed on a terminal connected with the OLED display device, from the terminal;

controlling a display included in the OLED display device to display a mirroring image on an area of the display based on the received mirroring image data; and

adjusting brightness of the displayed mirroring image, based on an APL of the mirroring image.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the adjusting the brightness of the displayed mirroring image includes:

acquiring an APL of a frame of the mirroring image from the mirroring image data;

calculating an APL variation by comparing the acquired APL with a previously-acquired APL; and

adjusting the brightness of the displayed mirroring image, based on the calculated APL variation.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the adjusting the brightness of the displayed mirroring image, based on the calculated APL variation includes:

decreasing the brightness of the displayed mirroring image, based on the APL variation when the acquired APL is equal to or greater than a reference APL; and

maintaining the brightness of the displayed mirroring image when the acquired APL is less than the reference APL.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the acquiring of the APL of the frame of the mirroring image includes:

acquiring an APL at a predetermined frame interval of the mirroring image, and

wherein the adjusting the brightness of the displayed mirroring image, based on the calculated APL variation includes:

decreasing the brightness of the displayed mirroring image, when maintaining, for a threshold time, a state that the APL variation is less than a reference variation.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the adjusting the brightness of the displayed mirroring image adjusts a transparency of the displayed mirroring image,

wherein the brightness of the displayed mirroring image increases by decreasing the transparency of the displayed mirroring image, and

wherein the brightness of the displayed mirroring image decreases by increasing the transparency of the displayed mirroring image.
