Abstract: A display system is provided, which makes it possible to
switch automatically from a single image mode to a dual image mode,
and vice versa, without input of any switching signal. When an image
is displayed on the screen of the display device the single image
mode according to the first video input sent through the first input
line, the first detector outputs the first detection signal.
Thereafter, if the second detector detects the synchronizing signal
of the second video input sent thorough the second input line, the
second detector outputs the second detection signal. This means
that the switch receives both of the first and second detection
signals in this state. As a result, the switch selects the dual
image mode and accordingly, a the two images are simultaneously
displayed on the screen of the display device.
