Description

Mini PCI-E display card and output module integrated structure

Technical field

The utility model relates to a kind of Mini PCI-E display card and output module integrated structure, relates in particular to a kind of Mini PCI-E display card and output module integrated structure of the Mini of being used for PCI-E bus.

Background technology

Perimeter component interface PCI in the past personal computer (Peripheral Component Interface), it is a kind of transmission interface specification that links variant functional device in order to provide, for example: video and graphic adapter (Video Graphics Adapter, VGA), sound card, network card, data card, Frame Grabber, TV card, minicomputer system adapter (Small Computer System Interface, SCSI card) and 1394 expansion boards etc.Because the PCI peripheral device needs shared in common to use total frequency range of this PCI, to get over for a long time so work as the PCI peripheral device that is linked, the frequency range that then will cause each device to get is few more, makes its transmission speed of every device be restricted.

The data volume that personal computer calculation process speed and each peripheral device tendency to develop now sent significantly promotes, and needing faster, frequency range carries its transmission.So the frequency range that PCI can carry begins not apply to use, and become a bottleneck on the computer-internal data transmission.For this reason, Intel Company begins leading development PCI-Express (PCI-E) transmission interface specification of new generation, and it can provide bigger frequency range, for more fast and effeciently transmitting data between each peripheral device.For example: the calculation process of 3D picture in the recreation, except possessing, needs have fast the central processing unit, also need have fast frequency range so as to transmitting its operation result to this display card; Other is then as Gigabit Ethernet network (GigaByte Ethernet), ultra broadband (Ultra Wideband; Abbreviation UWB) wireless network, high pass antilog word content device (high definition content-relatedhardware) and disk array control card (RAID Controller) or the like, all need higher frequency range and constant at any time joint efficiency, also have only PCI-Express transmission interface specification can meet required.

Therefore along with the slimming day by day of electronic installation, develop and a kind of Mini PCI-E transmission interface specification, with size of dwindling relevant plug-in card and the space that occupies thereof.Yet, on the motherboard of for example mini-systems such as mobile computer, easy computer (EPC) and ION platform, can be because a Mini PCI-E bus only is set for inserting wireless network card or sound card etc., so, a display screen is to reach the words of multi-screen display effect if the user desires to increase in this kind mini-system, there is no the display card that is applicable to Mini PCI-E bus at present, cause the user can only select additionally to purchase another mini-system and screen, so just significantly increase acquisition expenses.

Therefore, how to solve the above problems a little, promptly become the improved target of the utility model.

The utility model content

A purpose of the present utility model is to provide a kind of Mini PCI-E display card and output module integrated structure, and the user only need just can reach the effect that multi-screen shows with expense seldom.

To achieve the above object, the utility model provides a kind of Mini PCI-E display card and output module integrated structure, comprising: a Mini PCI-E display card has a Graphics Processing Unit and electrically connects one first slot of this Graphics Processing Unit; One output module has a circuit board, is laid on this circuit board a connector for output, and electrically connects one second slot of this connector; And a winding displacement, this first slot and this second slot are inserted and electrically connected in its two ends respectively, with the signal that transmits this Graphics Processing Unit to this connector.

Above-mentioned Mini PCI-E display card and output module integrated structure, wherein, the output power of this unitized construction is less than or equal to 5W.

Above-mentioned Mini PCI-E display card and output module integrated structure, wherein, this winding displacement is a flexible winding displacement.

Above-mentioned Mini PCI-E display card and output module integrated structure, wherein, this connector is a connector with digital visual interface.

Above-mentioned Mini PCI-E display card and output module integrated structure, wherein, this connector is a connector with HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface).

Above-mentioned Mini PCI-E display card and output module integrated structure, wherein, this connector is a connector with video and graphic adapter.

Compared to prior art, the utlity model has following effect:

According to the utility model, Mini PCI-E display card is to insert in the Mini PCI-E bus, and the connector on the output module is (for example: the display of CRT, LCD or HDMI specification) to be connected to an external display, connect Mini PCI-E display card and output module by winding displacement, then the signal of Graphics Processing Unit just can be sent to this connector, and is shown on this outside display.Therefore, the user does not need additionally to buy a mini-system again, only need utilize Mini PCI-E display card of the present utility model and output module integrated structure, just can be directly connected to another external display, and reach the multi-screen display effect that a mini-system is controlled a plurality of displays.Therefore, the utility model only needs expense seldom, just can reach the effect that multi-screen shows.

In addition, in the prior art, connector is to be incorporated on the single display card, so entire length and volume are bigger, certainly will occupy in mini-system than large space, also limits the configuration of other electronic component in the mini-system simultaneously.Yet, Mini PCI-E display card of the present utility model and output module two parts for separating, electrically contact with winding displacement between the two, therefore, can there be multiple variation both positions of Mini PCI-E display card and output module, thus, not only reduce occupied space, also improve the configuration degree of freedom of the electronic component in the mini-system simultaneously.

Below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments the utility model is described in detail, but not as to qualification of the present utility model.
