         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the input unit stops power transfer when the laundry treating apparatus is turned off, and is driven by receiving power when the laundry treating apparatus is in a standby state. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the operation controller comprises:
 a first opening and closing portion configured to connect or disconnect the external source to or from a first power supply portion;   the first power supply portion configured to convert the power supplied from the external source into first power;   a second power supply portion configured to convert the power supplied from the external source into second power; and   an operation performing portion configured to be driven by receiving the first power from the first power supply portion to control the operation controller.   
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein the first opening and closing portion is controlled by the driving controller to connect or disconnect the external source to or from the first power supply portion. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 6 , wherein the first opening and closing portion disconnects the external source from the first power supply portion when the laundry treating apparatus is turned off and is in a standby state, and
 connects the external source to the first power supply portion when the laundry treating apparatus is turned on.   
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein the first power supply portion receives the power supplied from the external source when the power supply source is connected thereto by the first opening and closing portion, converts the received power into the first power, and supplies the first power to the operation unit and the operation performing portion. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein the second power supply portion receives the power from the external source at all times, converts the received power into the second power, and transfers the second power to the display unit and the driving controller. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein the operation performing portion communicates with the driving controller to control the operation controller according to a result of the communication. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein the operation performing portion receives the signal from the driving controller to control the operation controller according to the signal. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the display controller comprises:
 a conversion portion configured to receive power from the driving controller and convert the power into driving power of the display controller; and   a display performing portion receiving the driving power from the conversion portion to control of display controller.   
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the conversion portion receives the power from the driving controller when the laundry treating apparatus is turned on, converts the received power into the driving power, and supplies the driving power to the display performing portion. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 12 , wherein the display performing portion communicates with the input unit and the driving controller to control the operation controller according to a result of the communication. 
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the driving controller comprises:
 a supply portion configured to receive power transferred from the operation controller and convert the received power into driving power of the driving controller;   a second opening and closing portion configured to connect or disconnect the operation controller to or from the display controller; and   a third opening and closing portion configured to connect or disconnect the supply portion to or from the input unit; and   a driving performing portion receiving the driving power from the supply portion to control the driving controller.   
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the supply portion receives power from the driving controller at all times, converts the received power into the driving power, and supplies the driving power to the driving performing portion. 
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 15 , wherein the driving performing portion controls each of the second opening and closing portion and the third opening and closing portion according to a driving state of the laundry treating apparatus.
