Abstract: Disclosed are a signal processing device and an image display apparatus including the same. The signal processing device comprises an equalizer configured to receive an input signal through a channel and equalize the received input signal and a control circuit configured to determine an equalizer control code in response to a first signal output from the equalizer and output the determined equalizer control code to the equalizer, wherein the equalizer may equalize the received input signal based on the equalizer control code. Accordingly, there is an effect of effectively adapting the equalizer even when a channel environment changes.

Abstract: An ice maker of a refrigerator includes a tray assembly having an upper tray that defines upper portions of a plurality of ice making chambers. Each of the plurality of ice making chambers is configured to receive water and generate an ice piece. The tray assembly also includes a lower tray that is located vertically below the upper tray, that is configured to rotate relative to the upper tray, and that defines lower portions of the plurality of ice making chambers, wherein at least one of the upper tray or the lower tray comprises a flexible tray made of a flexible material. Additionally, a case is configured to accommodate the flexible tray to restrict a deformation of the flexible tray. A heater that is located between the case and the flexible tray is configured to supply heat to the plurality of ice making chambers through the flexible tray.
