Description

Display apparatus for providing mirror image and contents through mirror display and control method thereof Technical Field The present disclosure relates to a display apparatus and a control method thereof, and more particularly, to a display apparatus providing a mirror image (mirror image) and content through a mirror display and a control method thereof. Background Various types of electronic devices are being developed and released in response to the stimulation of the development of electronic technology. In particular, recently, various types of electronic devices including TVs are used in ordinary households. These electronic devices have been gradually equipped with various functions according to the user's demands. As an example, various types of services may be provided by a mirror display that may provide both a mirror function and a display function. For example, a mirror display may reflect a user and simultaneously display virtual objects with which the user may interact. However, in the case of the conventional mirror display, there are problems in that a blank is generated between an area where contents are displayed and an area where a user is reflected, and a mirror image corresponding to the user is provided. For example, if a plurality of blocks constituting a mirror display are controlled in units of blocks, a blank is generated between the boundary of the content and the mirror image, and this causes a problem in that the user perceives a parallax feeling. Disclosure of Invention [ Technical solution ] Aspects will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the presented embodiments. According to one aspect of the disclosure, a display device may include a mirror display including a plurality of tiles, a camera, and at least one processor configured to control at least one of reflectivity and display of the plurality of tiles, wherein the at least one processor is configured to control a first tile of the plurality of tiles to display content, control a second tile of the plurality of tiles to have a first reflectivity, provide at least a portion of a mirror image on a front side of the mirror display, identify a second portion of the mirror image corresponding to the first tile based on an image captured by the camera, and control the first tile to display the second portion of the mirror image and the content by overlapping the content with the second portion of the mirror image. The at least one processor may be further configured to control at least one third block of the first block including a boundary of the content to display the mirrored second portion in an area other than an area in which the at least one third block displays the content. The at least one processor may be further configured to control the at least one third block to have a second reflectivity and to control the first blocks other than the at least one third block to have a third reflectivity, wherein the first blocks other than the at least one third block do not include boundaries of the content. The first reflectivity may be a maximum reflectivity, the third reflectivity may be a minimum reflectivity, and the second reflectivity may be a reflectivity between the maximum reflectivity and the minimum reflectivity. The display device may further include a sensor configured to sense an amount of external light, wherein the processor is configured to increase the second reflectivity based on the first reflectivity based on the sensed amount of external light being less than a threshold value and decrease the second reflectivity based on the third reflectivity based on the sensed amount of external light being greater than or equal to the threshold value. The at least one processor may be further configured to control at least one third block among the first blocks to combine the content displayed by the at least one third block and the mirrored second portion. The at least one processor may be further configured to resize the content displayed on the first block such that the boundaries of the content correspond to the boundaries between the plurality of blocks. The at least one processor may be further configured to provide a visual effect based on resizing the content during the predetermined frame such that a boundary of the content corresponds to a boundary between the at least one third block and a block adjacent to the at least one third block. The at least one processor may be further configured to control at least one third block among the first blocks to display a predetermined image in an area other than an area in which the at least one third block displays content. The at least one processor may be further configured to control the reflectivity of the plurality of blocks in units of blocks, wherein the plurality of blocks have the same size.
