Description

Background
With the development of Display technology, flat panel Display devices such as Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) have advantages of high image quality, power saving, thin body, and wide application range, and thus are widely used in various consumer electronics products such as mobile phones, televisions, personal digital assistants, digital cameras, notebook computers, and desktop computers, and become the mainstream of Display devices.
Generally, a Liquid Crystal display panel is composed of a Color Filter substrate (CF), a thin film Transistor substrate (TFT), a Liquid Crystal (LC) sandwiched between the Color Filter substrate and the thin film Transistor substrate, and a Sealant frame (Sealant).
When the liquid crystal display panel works, the liquid crystal display panel needs to be driven by an external driving circuit, and the external driving circuit generally comprises: the LCD panel driving Circuit comprises a time sequence control chip (TCON), a Power management chip (Power management IC), a programmable gamma correction chip (P-gamma IC) and the like which are arranged on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), wherein the time sequence control chip is mainly used for converting Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) signals into Mini-LVDS signals with high Low amplitude transmission frequency and generating time sequence signals for driving the LCD panel, the Power management chip is mainly used for generating various voltages for driving the LCD panel, and the programmable gamma correction chip is mainly used for generating gamma voltages.
With the increase of the size and resolution of the liquid crystal display device, the requirements for the time sequence controller of the liquid crystal display device are higher and higher, and for the liquid crystal display device with ultra high definition 120Hz or 8K 120Hz, a single time sequence controller is difficult to meet the production requirements, for this reason, a technical scheme including a plurality of chip drives is proposed, namely, a plurality of time sequence controllers are arranged in the liquid crystal display device to work simultaneously, each time sequence controller correspondingly controls a corresponding sub-area, namely, each time sequence controller can only obtain and process data (such as video data) in the sub-area corresponding to the time sequence controller, each time sequence controller is provided with a Flash memory chip (Flash), namely, each time sequence controller is connected with one Flash memory chip (for example, two Flash memory chips are needed by the two time sequence controllers), each time sequence controller respectively obtains the corresponding drive Code (Code) from the corresponding Flash memory chip, however, each timing controller corresponds to one flash memory chip, which results in excessive flash memory chips, occupying a large amount of wiring space, and each flash memory chip needs one set of connecting wires, for example, each flash memory chip needs five connecting wires of Chip Select (CS), Write Protect (WP), input (DI), output (Do) and Clock (CLK) to connect the timing controller, and meanwhile, a grounding wire is needed to be grounded, a power wire is connected to a power supply, and excessive connecting wires can increase the cost and wiring complexity of a Control Circuit Board (CB); the actual effect of the flash memory chip is only to store the driving code, when the plurality of chips are driven, the actual use of the plurality of flash memory chips is redundant, and the storage resource is not fully utilized, so that the scheme that each existing time schedule controller corresponds to one flash memory chip not only occupies a large wiring space, but also increases the wiring cost and the wiring complexity, and simultaneously, the resource is effectively utilized, and the principle that the design of a circuit board is simple and clear is not met completely.
