Display apparatus and controlling method for the same
A display apparatus for reducing a booting time includes: a display panel including a plurality of pixels; a timing controller configured to drive the display panel; and a at least one controller configured to control the timing controller to perform a sensing process for sensing electrical characteristics of the plurality of pixels based on power-on of the display panel, wherein the at least one controller is further configured to determine whether to perform the sensing process or skip the sensing process based on a power-off period of the display panel before the display panel is powered on.
1. A display apparatus comprising:
a display panel comprising a plurality of pixels;
a timing controller configured to drive the display panel; and
at least one controller configured to control the timing controller to perform a sensing process for sensing electrical characteristics of the plurality of pixels based on power-on of the display panel,
wherein the at least one controller is further configured to determine whether to perform the sensing process or skip the sensing process based on a length of a power-off period of the display panel before the display panel is powered on,
wherein in response to the display panel being powered on according to a voice command including a wake-up word, the at least one controller is configured to control the timing controller to:
skip the sensing process without determining whether to perform the sensing process based on the power-off period of the display panel.
2. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one controller is further configured to control the timing controller to perform the sensing process based on the power-off period of the display panel being longer than a preset time period.
3. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one controller is further configured to control the timing controller to skip the sensing process based on the power-off period of the display panel being shorter a preset time period.
4. The display apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a storage device configured to store compensation data obtained by performing the sensing process by the timing controller,
wherein the timing controller is further configured to drive the display panel based on compensation data that is last stored in the storage device, upon skipping of the sensing process.
5. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one controller is further configured to control the timing controller to perform the sensing process while the display panel is powered off, and
the timing controller is further configured to drive the display panel based on compensation data obtained in the sensing process performed while the display panel is powered off, upon skipping of the sensing process when the display panel is powered on.
6. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one controller is further configured to control the timing controller to perform the sensing process every preset time period in the power-off period of the display panel.
7. The display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the at least one controller is further configured to determine whether to perform the sensing process or skip the sensing process, based on a time period between a time at which the sensing process has been last performed and a time at which the display apparatus is powered on.
8. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the timing controller is further configured to drive, upon performing of the sensing process, the display panel to display an image based on completion of the sensing process.
9. The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the timing controller is further configured to drive, upon skipping of the sensing process when the display panel is powered on, the display panel to display an image based on booting completion of the timing controller.
10. A method for controlling a display apparatus, the method comprising:
determining whether to perform or skip a sensing process for sensing electrical characteristics of a plurality of pixels included in a display panel based on a length of a power-off period of the display panel before the display panel is powered on;
based on determining to perform the sensing process, controlling a timing controller of the display apparatus to perform the sensing process based on power-on of the display panel;
based on determining to skip the sensing process, controlling the timing controller to skip the sensing process based on power-on of the display panel; and
in response to the display panel being powered on according to a voice command including a wake-up word, skipping the sensing process without determining whether to perform the sensing process based on the power-off period of the display panel.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the controlling of the timing controller to perform the sensing process comprises controlling the timing controller to perform the sensing process based on the power-off period of the display panel being longer than a preset time period.
12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the controlling of the timing controller to skip the sensing process comprises controlling the timing controller to skip the sensing process based on the power-off period of the display panel being shorter than a preset time period.
13. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
storing, in a storage device of the display apparatus, compensation data obtained by performing the sensing process by the timing controller; and
driving the display panel based on compensation data last stored in the storage device upon skipping of the sensing process when the display panel is powered on.
14. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:
controlling the timing controller to perform the sensing process while the display panel is powered off; and
driving the display panel based on compensation data obtained in the sensing process performed while the display panel is powered off upon skipping of the sensing process when the display panel is powered on.
