         27 . The apparatus of  claim 21 , further comprising:
 a camera for capturing an image of a user; and   a memory;   wherein when the image of the user is captured, the controller is configured to compare an image previously stored in the memory with the captured image of the user, perform user recognition, and perform login of the recognized user.   
     
     
         28 . The apparatus of  claim 27 , wherein after performing the login, the controller is configured to display an icon indicating the logged-in user. 
     
     
         29 . The apparatus of  claim 21 , wherein the controller is configured to:
 display a home screen including at least one card object including a content list and to display a card object generation screen in response to card object generation input,   in response to selection of at least one content item displayed on the card object generation screen, add the selected content item to a card object to be generated, and   display a settings screen related to the image display apparatus in response to manipulation of a menu key of the remote controller or selection of a settings object for setting the image display apparatus on the home screen,   wherein the settings screen related to the image display apparatus includes a first item for editing a dashboard area in which the card object is displayed on the home screen, a second item for editing a launcher bar area in which an application list is displayed on the home screen, a third item for performing settings related to start of the home screen and a fourth item including network settings, video settings, channel settings and three-dimensional (3D) image setting.   
     
     
         30 . The image display apparatus according to  claim 29 , wherein the card object generation screen includes a first region including the card object to be generated and an input window for inputting an object name of the card object to be generated and a second region including content items to be added to the card object to be generated. 
     
     
         31 . The image display apparatus according to  claim 29 , wherein the controller controls display of the card the card object generation screen when, in a state of displaying a dashboard edit screen for editing a dashboard area between the dashboard area in which the card object is arranged and a launcher bar area in which an application list is arranged, a card object generation item on the dashboard edit screen is selected, or when, in a state in which a pointer indicating motion of a remote controller is located in the dashboard area, a menu key of the remote controller is manipulated. 
     
     
         32 . The image display apparatus according to  claim 29 , further comprising a camera configured to capture an image of a user,
 wherein the controller performs user login, controls display of a home screen including the generated card object in correspondence with the logged-in user, and changes at least one card object displayed on the home screen according to the logged-in user.   
     
     
         33 . The image display apparatus according to  claim 29 , wherein the display displays a system settings screen including network settings, video settings, channel settings and 3D image settings in response to system settings input,
