顯示器包含控制模組與顯示模組,控制模組用於解碼影像資料並調整其解析度,還用於傳送多種控制訊號至顯示模組,以控制顯示模組提供對應的影像。一般而言,控制模組的元件設置於印刷電路板上,而顯示模組的元件則大部分實現於玻璃基板上。若將控制模組與顯示模組封裝為同一裝置,則需要較厚的外殼以容納這兩種不同的基板。因此,將控制模組與顯示模組互相分離,以使佔顯示器大部分體積的顯示模組能變得如壁紙般輕薄成為了現行的設計趨勢。傳統上,控制模組透過多種傳輸介面與顯示模組進行資料傳輸,例如串列周邊介面(SPI)和內置積體電路(I2C)匯流排等等,這些繁雜的傳輸介面僅適用於短距離傳輸且需要不同的傳輸線,因而不適合應用於控制模組與顯示模組互相分離的設計。The display includes a control module and a display module. The control module is used for decoding image data and adjusting its resolution, and is also used for transmitting various control signals to the display module to control the display module to provide corresponding images. Generally speaking, the components of the control module are arranged on the printed circuit board, and the components of the display module are mostly realized on the glass substrate. If the control module and the display module are packaged into the same device, a thicker casing is required to accommodate the two different substrates. Therefore, it has become a current design trend to separate the control module and the display module from each other, so that the display module, which occupies most of the volume of the display, can be thin and light like a wallpaper. Traditionally, the control module and the display module transmit data through various transmission interfaces, such as serial peripheral interface (SPI) and built-in integrated circuit (I2C) bus, etc. These complicated transmission interfaces are only suitable for short-distance transmission. In addition, different transmission lines are required, so it is not suitable for the design in which the control module and the display module are separated from each other.

第3圖為多媒體訊號傳輸控制系統120處理的多個訊號簡化後的波形示意圖。垂直同步訊號Vsync用於控制顯示模組130每個影像幀的時間長度。舉例來說,垂直同步訊號Vsync兩個相鄰脈波之間的間隔為一影像幀的時間長度。水平同步訊號Hsync和資料致能訊號DEN用於控制顯示模組130更新對應的一列畫素。畫素時脈訊號CLK則用於進一步控制顯示模組130更新一列中的對應一個畫素。FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of simplified waveforms of a plurality of signals processed by the multimedia signal transmission control system 120 . The vertical synchronization signal Vsync is used to control the time length of each image frame of the display module 130 . For example, the interval between two adjacent pulses of the vertical synchronization signal Vsync is the time length of one image frame. The horizontal synchronization signal Hsync and the data enable signal DEN are used to control the display module 130 to update a corresponding row of pixels. The pixel clock signal CLK is used to further control the display module 130 to update a corresponding pixel in a row.

在一影像幀中,介於垂直同步訊號Vsync的脈波與資料致能訊號DEN的第一個脈波之間的期間稱為「垂直後沿VBP」(vertical back porch)。另外,介於資料致能訊號DEN於一影像幀中最後一個脈波與下一影像幀的垂直同步訊號Vsync的脈波之間的期間,稱為「垂直前沿VFP」(vertical front porch)。多媒體訊號傳輸控制系統120會在垂直後沿VBP和垂直前沿VFP中傳送音訊訊號AS或輔助資料訊號AUX所攜帶的資訊。介於垂直後沿VBP與垂直前沿VFP之間的期間稱為「主動視訊期間AVP」(active video period)。多媒體訊號傳輸控制系統120會在主動視訊期間AVP傳送視訊訊號VS所攜帶的資訊。值得一提的是,為了在單一通訊協定下獲得足夠的連續頻寬,多媒體訊號傳輸控制系統120會將控制訊號CT所攜帶的資訊分散於垂直後沿VBP、垂直前沿VFP與主動視訊期間AVP傳輸。In an image frame, the period between the pulse wave of the vertical synchronization signal Vsync and the first pulse wave of the data enable signal DEN is called "vertical back porch" (vertical back porch). In addition, the period between the last pulse of the data enable signal DEN in one image frame and the pulse of the vertical synchronization signal Vsync of the next image frame is called "vertical front porch" (vertical front porch). The multimedia signal transmission control system 120 transmits the information carried by the audio signal AS or the auxiliary data signal AUX in the vertical back edge VBP and the vertical front edge VFP. The period between the vertical trailing edge VBP and the vertical leading edge VFP is called "active video period AVP" (active video period). The multimedia signal transmission control system 120 transmits the information carried by the video signal VS through the AVP during the active video period. It is worth mentioning that, in order to obtain sufficient continuous bandwidth under a single communication protocol, the multimedia signal transmission control system 120 disperses the information carried by the control signal CT in the vertical trailing edge VBP, the vertical leading edge VFP and the active video period AVP transmission. .

請同時參考第2圖和第3圖,在垂直後沿VBP與垂直前沿VFP中,訊號分配電路210會透過其第一輸出端將控制訊號CT提供至發射介面電路220的第一資料打包器222。第一資料打包器222耦接於訊號分配電路210的第一輸出端,用於接收視訊訊號VS,且用於將視訊訊號VS與控制訊號CT封裝為多個第一混合資料封包MPa。Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 at the same time, in the vertical trailing edge VBP and the vertical leading edge VFP, the signal distribution circuit 210 provides the control signal CT to the first data packetizer 222 of the transmitting interface circuit 220 through its first output terminal .

The second data packer 224 is coupled to the second output end of the signal distribution circuit 210, and is used for receiving the audio signal AS and the auxiliary data signal AUX, and for packing the audio signal AS or the auxiliary data signal AUX and the control signal CT into multiple A second mixed data packet MPb.

第一資料打包器222和第二資料打包器224分別會將第一混合資料封包MPa和第二混合資料封包MPb提供至發射介面電路220的發射電路226。發射電路226具有編碼功能,可用於編碼第一混合資料封包MPa、第二混合資料封包MPb、垂直同步訊號Vsync、水平同步訊號Hsync、資料致能訊號DEN和畫素時脈訊號CLK。發射電路226會透過適當的資料傳輸技術將編碼後的資訊傳送至接收控制電路30。在一些實施例中,為增加多媒體訊號傳輸控制系統120的傳輸距離,發射電路226利用最小化傳輸差分訊號(transition-minimized differential signaling,簡稱TMDS)技術與接收控制電路30進行資料通訊。The first data packetizer 222 and the second data packetizer 224 respectively provide the first mixed data packet MPa and the second mixed data packet MPb to the transmitting circuit 226 of the transmitting interface circuit 220 . The transmitting circuit 226 has an encoding function for encoding the first mixed data packet MPa, the second mixed data packet MPb, the vertical synchronization signal Vsync, the horizontal synchronization signal Hsync, the data enable signal DEN and the pixel clock signal CLK. The transmitting circuit 226 transmits the encoded information to the receiving control circuit 30 through an appropriate data transmission technology. In some embodiments, in order to increase the transmission distance of the multimedia signal transmission control system 120 , the transmitter circuit 226 uses a transition-minimized differential signaling (TMDS) technique for data communication with the receiver control circuit 30 .

As shown in FIG. 4, the vertical trailing edge VBP and the vertical leading edge VFP include a plurality of control periods (marked as blank blocks) 410 and a plurality of data island periods (marked as cross-mesh blocks) ) 420. The transmitting circuit 226 transmits the vertical synchronization signal Vsync, the horizontal synchronization signal Hsync and the preamble to the receiving control circuit 30 in the control period 410 . The transmitting circuit 226 also transmits the second mixed data packet MPb to the receiving control circuit 30 in the data island period 420, ie, transmits the mixed information of the control signal CT, the audio signal AS and/or the auxiliary data signal AUX. The active video period AVP includes multiple periods of video data (labeled as dot blocks) 430 . The transmitting circuit 226 transmits the first mixed data packet MPa to the receiving control circuit 30 in the video data period 430, ie, transmits the mixed information of the control signal CT and the video signal VS.

總而言之,發射控制電路20用於在影像幀的主動視訊期間AVP,將控制訊號CT與來自控制模組110的多個多媒體訊號中的一或多者(例如視訊訊號VS)封裝為第一混合資料封包MPa並將其傳送。進一步來說,如第3圖所示,發射控制電路20是在資料致能訊號DEN提供脈波時傳送第一混合資料封包MPa。發射控制電路20另用於在影像幀的垂直後沿VBP與垂直前沿VFP,將控制訊號CT與來自控制模組110的多個多媒體訊號中的另一或多者(例如音訊訊號AS或輔助資料訊號AUX)封裝為第二混合資料封包MPb並將其傳送。In a word, the transmit control circuit 20 is used for encapsulating the control signal CT and one or more of the plurality of multimedia signals (eg, the video signal VS) from the control module 110 as the first mixed data during the active video period AVP of the image frame. Pack the MPa and deliver it. Further, as shown in FIG. 3 , the transmit control circuit 20 transmits the first mixed data packet MPa when the data enable signal DEN provides a pulse wave. The transmission control circuit 20 is also used for connecting the control signal CT and another or more of the plurality of multimedia signals (such as the audio signal AS or auxiliary data) from the control module 110 at the vertical trailing edge VBP and the vertical leading edge VFP of the image frame. The signal AUX) is packaged as a second mixed data packet MPb and transmitted.

在一些實施例中,發射控制電路20可根據自定義的封包格式來封裝第一混合資料封包MPa和第二混合資料封包MPb。前述自定義的封包格式是指給予第一混合資料封包MPa和第二混合資料封包MPb使用者自定義的標頭(header)。使用者自定義的標頭不同於多媒體訊號傳輸控制系統120的規格書所定義的預設格式的封包(例如視訊封包、音訊封包和輔助資料封包)的標頭。In some embodiments, the transmit control circuit 20 may encapsulate the first mixed data packet MPa and the second mixed data packet MPb according to a user-defined packet format. The aforementioned custom packet format refers to a user-defined header for the first mixed data packet MPa and the second mixed data packet MPb.
