Abstract: Disclosed herein is a display apparatus including a curved display module having a curved surface bent in a y-axis direction, a surface overlay disposed on the front surface of the curved display module and having a refractive index differing from an air layer, at least one IR emitter arranged on the upper long side or the lower long side of the surface overlay and emitting IR light, and at least one first IR receiver arranged on the long side opposite the at least one first IR emitter and receiving the IR light emitted by the at least one IR emitter. The curved display apparatus may more accurately and effectively recognize touch input and thus, user convenience may be improved.

Abstract: A vehicle display apparatus includes a display, a plurality of light emitting units provided in the periphery of the display, a plurality of light receiving units provided in the periphery of the display, and a processor configured to calculate a position of an approaching external object based on levels of light signals received by the plurality of light receiving units. The plurality of light emitting units sequentially emits light, the plurality of light receiving units sequentially receives light in correspondence with sequential light emission of the plurality of light emitting units, and the processor calculates the position of the external object based on the levels of the light signals received by the plurality of light receiving units in correspondence with sequential light emission of the plurality of light emitting units. Accordingly, it is possible to stably detect the position of the external object positioned in front of the display.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a display apparatus. The display apparatus includes a display unit, an optical sensor unit, a touch sensor unit, and a processor. The processor can determine whether a hand is located within a first distance range away from the display unit and whether the hand is located within a second distance range away from the display unit that is closer to the display unit than the first distance range. The optical sensor unit is configured to recognize the received light based on the hand being located within the first distance range, and the touch sensor unit is configured to recognize the hand based on the hand being located within the second distance range. The processor can cause the touch sensor unit to operate based on a determination that the hand has transitioned from being located within the first distance range to being located within the second distance range.
