Air conditioner and display control method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of air conditioner display, and particularly relates to an air conditioner and a display control method thereof.
Background
The existing air conditioner is generally provided with a display screen for displaying the operation state of the air conditioner, such as the indoor temperature and the operation mode. The display screen comprises an LED lamp and a display film, wherein light-transmitting lines are arranged on the display film, when the LED lamp is turned on, light of the LED lamp penetrates through the light-transmitting lines, and the running state of the air conditioner is displayed by the on and off of the LED lamp. The display screen generally comprises a digital area for displaying numbers and a mode symbol area for displaying mode symbols, the LED screen is limited in size, the area occupied by the digital area is large, the light-transmitting lines are thick lines, the area occupied by the mode symbol area is small, and the light-transmitting lines are thin lines. The air conditioner controls the digital area and the mode symbol area to be in a lighting and extinguishing state or a lighting and extinguishing state respectively, the digital area and the mode symbol area are lighted circularly, the lighting time of the digital area is the same as the lighting time of the mode symbol area, and the digital area and the mode symbol area are lighted simultaneously by using a visual delay effect to display the running state of the air conditioner. However, since the light-transmitting lines in the pattern symbol region are thin lines and the light-transmitting lines in the digital region are thick lines, the displayed pattern symbols are darker than the digital symbols, the display luminance of the display screen is not uniform, and the user experience is poor.

The control module controls the thick line display area 11 and the thin line display area 12 to be circularly lighted, namely the control module controls the thick line display area 11 and the thin line display area 12 to be circularly conducted with the power supply.
For example, the thick line display region 11 is turned on with the power supply (the thin line display region 12 is turned off with the power supply), the thin line display region 12 is turned on with the power supply (the thick line display region 11 is turned off with the power supply), … … are sequentially cycled. The thick line display area 11 is connected to the power supply, and the thin line display area 12 is connected to the power supply, which is a cycle period. In one cycle period, the lighting time of the thin line display region is longer than that of the thick line display region.
Preferably, the lighting time of the thin line display region 12 is twice as long as the lighting time of the thick line display region 11.
That is, as shown in fig. 3, the control method includes the steps of:
s1 shows that the time period during which the thick line display region 11 is on with the power supply is t (the thin line display region 12 is off with the power supply).
S2, the time period during which the thin line display area 12 is on with the power supply is 2t (the thick line display area 11 is off with the power supply).
The loop S1, S2 is repeated. Time T = T +2T per cycle period.
The lighting sequence of the thick line display area 11 and the thin line display area 12 is not limited, and the thin line display area 12 may be controlled to be connected with the power supply (the thick line display area 11 is disconnected with the power supply) first, and then the thick line display area 11 is controlled to be connected with the power supply (the thin line display area 12 is disconnected with the power supply).
