Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides an LED display screen 100, including: a plurality of display cases 10; only three display housings 10 are shown in fig. 1 by way of example, but embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the specific number of display housings in the LED display screen 100.

As can be seen in fig. 1 and 2, each display cabinet 10 includes: a box frame 11, an LED display unit 13, a module controller 15 and four wireless transceivers 17 a-17 d.

The box frame 11 has four side surfaces S1 to S4 and an accommodating space 110 surrounded by the four side surfaces S1 to S4, for example, the box frame 11 is a rectangular (including square) hollow structure; side S1 and side S3 are opposing sides, and side S2 and side S4 are opposing sides.

The LED display unit 13 is disposed on the cabinet frame 11, for example, on the front surface of the cabinet frame 11, and includes a plurality of LED modules 130. The LED display unit 13 shown in fig. 2 includes four LED modules 130, but the embodiment of the invention does not limit the specific number of LED modules 130 in the LED display unit 13 of the display box 10, and may only have one LED module. Furthermore, a single LED module 130 typically has a plurality of LED display pixels, and the single LED display pixels include, for example, RGB LED lamps.

The module controller 15 is disposed in the accommodating space 110 of the box frame 11 and electrically connected to the LED display unit 13 for driving and controlling the LED display unit 13 to display images. As shown in fig. 2, as a non-limiting embodiment, the module controller 15 is provided with a transceiver interface set 150 and a module interface set 152, for example, and each LED module 130 in the LED display unit 13 is electrically connected to the module interface set 152 by a flat cable connection or a board-to-board connection, for example. Typically, the module controller 15 may employ a two-layer circuit board design of core board + interposer, with the module interface set 152 disposed on the interposer, and the transceiver interface set 150 disposed on the core board, or disposed on the interposer, or with a portion of the transceiver interfaces disposed on the core board and another portion of the transceiver interfaces disposed on the interposer. For the core board, the main circuit elements of the core board include a programmable logic device, and a microcontroller and a memory device electrically connected to the programmable logic device, but the embodiment of the invention is not limited thereto.

Referring again to fig. 1 and 2, the wireless transceivers 17a to 17d are respectively provided on the four side surfaces S1 to S4 of the cabinet frame 11. The operating frequency of each of the wireless transceivers 17a to 17d is located in the millimeter wave band. The millimeter wave band herein typically means a frequency range of 30GHz to 300GHz with a corresponding wavelength of 1 mm to 10 mm. The wireless transceivers 17a to 17d working in the millimeter wave frequency band of this embodiment are very suitable for the application of the display boxes in the LED display screen, because the LED display screen is typically formed by splicing a plurality of display boxes, when the wireless transceivers 17a to 17d are installed in each display box, the problem to be considered is how to avoid the wireless signal crosstalk and unstable transmission between the wireless transceivers that do not need to receive and transmit data in the same LED display screen and easily blocked by obstacles, and the wireless transceivers 17a to 17d of this embodiment work in the millimeter wave frequency band, compared with the wireless transceivers in the prior art, such as WiFi modules and bluetooth modules, the possibility of wireless signal crosstalk can be greatly reduced, and compared with the infrared transceivers, the transmission is stable and is not easily blocked by obstacles. Furthermore, based on the performance of the wireless chip and the easy availability of the frequency band, the operating frequency of the wireless transceivers 17a to 17d is preferably in the frequency range of 57GHZ-67GHZ or 71GHZ-87GHZ, such as 60GHZ or 80 GHZ.

Referring to fig. 3A and 3B, in one non-limiting embodiment, any of the wireless transceivers 17 a-17 d includes, for example: a circuit board 170, and an ethernet interface 171, a physical layer transceiver 173, a wireless transmitting chip Tx, and a wireless receiving chip Rx disposed on the circuit board 170. The ethernet interface 171 is electrically connected to the physical layer transceiver 173 and is connected to the transceiver interface set 150 of the module controller 15 via a cable, for example, a network cable, and accordingly the transceiver interface set 150 has, for example, four ethernet interfaces in this embodiment. The ethernet interface 171 is an RJ45 integrated with the internet or a split design of the internet and the RJ. The wireless transmitting chip Tx and the wireless receiving chip Rx are electrically connected to the physical layer transceiver 173, respectively. Further, to improve the signal transmission stability and transmission rate, the wireless transmitting chip Tx is electrically connected to the physical layer transceiver 173 through a differential signal line pair, for example, two SerDes (Serializer and Deserializer) differential signal lines are electrically connected to the physical layer transceiver 173; similarly, the wireless reception chip Rx is electrically connected to the physical layer transceiver 173 through a differential signal line pair, for example, the physical layer transceiver 173 is electrically connected through two SerDes differential signal lines. Accordingly, the physical layer transceiver 173 is configured with, for example, a SerDes interface, thereby enabling data transmission and reception; it may specifically implement data transfer of the entire link using the unshielded twisted pair Media Converter (UTP-FIBER Media Converter) mode of operation of the physical layer transceiver 173. The PHY transceiver 173 may be a 1GBase-T/2.5GBase-T/5GBase-T/10GBase-T Ethernet PHY transceiver. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the data wireless transmission and the data wireless reception are respectively performed by two independent chips in the embodiment, which can effectively ensure the stability and reliability of data reception and transmission.

As mentioned above, circuit board 170 has first and second opposing

sides

170a, 170b, and Ethernet interface 171 and physical layer transceiver 173 are disposed on first side 170a of circuit board 170. Furthermore, the first side 170a of the circuit board 170 is further provided with a wired power interface 175, which has, for example, two 5V dc voltage input pins and two ground pins, but the embodiment is not limited thereto; the wired power interface 175 here is connected to the transceiver interface group 150 of the module controller 15 by, for example, a flat cable. As can also be seen from fig. 3A, the wired power interface 175 and the physical layer transceiver 173 are located on opposite sides of the ethernet interface 171 in the length direction of the circuit board 170 (in the longitudinal direction of fig. 3A). The design of the embodiment that the ethernet interface 171 is arranged at the middle position of the first side 170a of the circuit board 170 is beneficial to maximize the space of the circuit board 170, and on the other hand, makes the circuit board 170 uniformly pulled by the network cable when connecting the cable, such as the network cable. Furthermore, the wired power interface 175 of the present embodiment is electrically connected to the phy transceiver 173, the wireless transmitting chip Tx and the wireless receiving chip Rx to provide the required operating voltages for the respective chips.

In fig. 3B, the wireless transmitting chip Tx and the wireless receiving chip Rx are disposed on the second side 170B of the circuit board 170, and as can be seen in conjunction with fig. 3A and 3B, the wireless transmitting chip Tx and the wireless receiving chip Rx are located on opposite sides of the ethernet interface 171 in the length direction of the circuit board 170. The arrangement of the wireless transmitting chips Tx and the wireless receiving chips Rx can maximize the distance between the chips, minimize the communication crosstalk between the wireless transmitting chips Tx and the wireless receiving chips Rx on the circuit board 170, and further improve the reliability of data communication. The operating frequencies of the wireless transmitting chip Tx and the wireless receiving chip Rx are located in the millimeter wave frequency band, for example, specifically located in the frequency range 57GHZ-67GHZ or 71GHZ-87 GHZ.

In light of the above, in order to better reduce the signal crosstalk between the wireless transmitting chip Tx and the wireless receiving chip Rx and enhance the communication capability of the chips, the second side 170b of the circuit board 170 is provided with annular wave-absorbing

material elements

177 and 179. The annular wave-absorbing material element 177 is disposed around the wireless receiving chip Rx on the second side 170b, and preferably, in order to prevent the antenna signal affecting the internal antenna of the wireless receiving chip Rx, the wireless receiving chip Rx is disposed eccentrically in the central hole of the annular wave-absorbing material element 177, that is, the wireless receiving chip Rx is not disposed centrally; the annular wave-absorbing material element 177 of the embodiment is made of, for example, Lidar JCS-9 type wave-absorbing material. Similarly, the annular wave absorbing material 179 is disposed around the wireless transmitting chip Tx at the second side 170b, and preferably the wireless transmitting chip Tx is disposed eccentrically within the central hole of the annular wave absorbing material 179 in order to prevent antenna signals affecting the internal antenna of the wireless transmitting chip Tx, i.e. the wireless transmitting chip Tx is not centrally disposed; the annular wave-absorbing material element 179 in this embodiment is made of, for example, Lidar JCS-9 type wave-absorbing material. As a non-limiting example, the wireless transmitting chip Tx and the wireless receiving chip Rx of the present embodiment may use a KSS104M series chip commercially available, but may also use other wireless transmitting and receiving chips suitable for operating in the millimeter wave band.

Referring to fig. 4A and 4B, in another non-limiting embodiment, any of the wireless transceivers 17 a-17 d includes, for example: a circuit board 270, and a dc-dc circuit 271, a wireless transmitting chip Tx, and a wireless receiving chip Rx disposed on the circuit board 270. The circuit board 270 is provided with a pad set 2701, and the pad set 2701 is electrically connected to one end of a cable, such as a USB3.0 line, for transmitting data signals and power signals, and the other end of the cable, such as the USB3.0 line, is connected to the transceiver interface set 150 of the module controller 15; it should be noted that, in this embodiment, the number of pads in the pad group 2701 in fig. 4A is only an example, and is not intended to limit the present invention; accordingly, the transceiver interface group 150 in the present exemplary embodiment has, for example, four USB3.0 interfaces, such as four micro USB3.0 interfaces. The dc-dc circuit 271 is electrically connected to the pad set 2701 to obtain a power signal, and for example, a power management chip (PMIC) is used. The wireless transmission chip Tx is electrically connected to the pad group 2701 for receiving a data signal from the pad group 2701, and the wireless reception chip Rx is electrically connected to the pad group 2701 for transferring a data signal to the pad group 2701. The operating frequencies of the wireless transmitting chip Tx and the wireless receiving chip Rx are located in the millimeter wave frequency band. The millimeter wave band herein typically refers to a frequency range of 30GHz to 300GHz with a corresponding wavelength of 1 mm to 10 mm. Furthermore, based on the performance of the wireless chip and the easy availability of the frequency band, in this embodiment, it is preferable that the millimeter wave frequency band in which the wireless transmitting chip Tx operates is 57GHZ-67GHZ or 71GHZ-87GHZ, for example, the wireless transmitting chip Tx operates at 60GHZ or 80 GHZ; similarly, the millimeter wave frequency band of the wireless receiving chip Rx is 57GHZ-67GHZ, or 71GHZ-87GHZ, for example, the wireless receiving chip Rx operates at 60GHZ or 80 GHZ. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the present embodiment performs the data wireless transmission and the data wireless reception by two independent chips, which can effectively ensure the stability and reliability of data reception and transmission.

As mentioned above, the circuit board 270 has opposing first and

second sides

270a, 270 b. The pad set 2701 and the dc-dc converter circuit 271 are disposed on the first side 270a of the circuit board 270, and the wireless transmitting chip Tx and the wireless receiving chip Rx are disposed on the second side 270b of the circuit board 270 at intervals. The wireless transmitting chips Tx and the wireless receiving chips Rx are arranged at intervals in the length direction of the circuit board 270 (in the longitudinal direction of fig. 4B), and it is known through experiments that the distance between the geometric center of the wireless transmitting chip Tx and the geometric center of the wireless receiving chip Rx is preferably greater than 10 mm, for example, 15 mm, so as to reduce crosstalk between the wireless transmitting chip Tx and the wireless receiving chip Rx as much as possible and ensure good wireless communication. Furthermore, the wireless transmitting chip Tx and the wireless receiving chip Rx are electrically connected to the pad group 2701 through a differential signal line pair, for example, SerDes differential signal lines, respectively, for example, the wireless transmitting chip Tx is connected to one pair of differential signal pads in the pad group 2701 through two differential signal lines, and the wireless receiving chip Rx is connected to the other pair of differential signal pads in the pad group 2701 through two differential signal lines; the differential signal line pair is used for realizing the connection with the wireless transmitting chip Tx and the wireless receiving chip Rx, so that the speed and the stability of data transmission can be effectively improved. In addition, the annular wave-absorbing

material elements

273 and 275 can further reduce the signal crosstalk between the wireless transmitting chip Tx and the wireless receiving chip Rx, and enhance the wireless communication capability of the chip. The annular wave-absorbing material element 273 is fixed on the circuit board 270 and disposed around the wireless receiving chip Rx, and preferably, in order to prevent the antenna signal affecting the internal antenna of the wireless receiving chip Rx, the wireless receiving chip Rx is disposed eccentrically in the central hole of the annular wave-absorbing material element 273, that is, the wireless receiving chip Rx is not disposed centrally; the annular wave-absorbing material element 273 of the embodiment is made of Lidar JCS-9 type wave-absorbing material, for example. Similarly, the annular wave absorbing material element 275 is fixed on the circuit board 270 and disposed around the wireless transmitting chip Tx, and preferably, in order to prevent the antenna signal affecting the built-in antenna of the wireless transmitting chip Tx, the wireless transmitting chip Tx is disposed eccentrically in the central hole of the annular wave absorbing material element 275, that is, the wireless transmitting chip Tx is not disposed centrally; the annular wave-absorbing material element 275 of this embodiment is made of, for example, Lidar JCS-9 type wave-absorbing material. By way of non-limiting example, the wireless transmitting chip Tx and the wireless receiving chip Rx of the present embodiment may be KQG104-B3 series chips commercially available, but may also be other wireless transmitting and receiving chips suitable for operating in the millimeter wave band.

In addition, the inventor tests that the signal transmission reliability is highest when the communication distance between two adjacent and opposite wireless transceivers for wirelessly transmitting image data signals between two adjacent display boxes 10 is kept to be not more than 30 mm, and no obvious code missing phenomenon is found; when the communication distance is increased to 35 mm, there is a certain possibility of missing codes. As an example, the communication distance is set to be less than or equal to 10 mm, for example. In addition, the inventor tests and learns that the delay of the wireless transmission performed by the wireless transceivers 17a to 17d of the present embodiment can be kept within 500 picoseconds, which is equivalent to the delay of the transmission of the conventional network cable, and obviously the requirements of connection, design and installation of the LED display screen are completely met.

Referring to fig. 5, a process of connecting a plurality of display cases 10 in an LED display panel for configuration will be described below by way of example.

(1) Initializing position coordinates: each display box 10 is powered on and enters the connection configuration mode, and the position coordinates of itself are initialized to (0,0), for example, the position coordinates of six display boxes 10 in fig. 5 are all initialized to (0, 0).

(2) Position coordinate assignment: the module controller 15 (refer to fig. 1) in each display cabinet 10 sets, for example, the

wireless transceivers

17a, 17d on the first side S1 and the fourth side S4 adjacent to itself to operate in the transmission mode, and sets the

wireless transceivers

17b, 17c on the second side S2 and the third side S3 adjacent to itself to operate in the reception mode. Next, the wireless transceiver 17a periodically transmits the position coordinates of the display box 10 to the right for multiple times, for example, M times, within a preset time period, so as to be received by the wireless transceiver 17c of the horizontally adjacent display box 10, so as to realize the assignment of the column coordinates, where M is greater than the number of columns of the display boxes 10 in the LED display screen; and the wireless transceiver 17d periodically transmits the position coordinates of the display cabinet 10 to the wireless transceiver 17b of the vertically adjacent display cabinet 10 downward multiple times, such as N times, within a preset time period, to realize the assignment of the line coordinates, where N is greater than the number of lines of the display cabinet 10 in the LED display screen.

For example, taking the middle display box 10 in the second row in fig. 5 as an example, the position coordinates (C, R) are initialized to (0,0), and after the first time position coordinates (0,0) sent by the adjacent left display box 10 are received for the first time, 1 is added to the column coordinates of the received position coordinates to give the own coordinates, so that the column coordinates C in the position coordinates (C, R) are updated to 1; similarly, after it receives the first position coordinate (0,0) transmitted from the adjacent upper display box 10 for the first time, it adds 1 to the row coordinate of the received position coordinate to give it its own position coordinate, so that the row coordinate R in its position coordinates (C, R) is updated to 1. In this way, the position coordinates (C, R) are updated to (1, 1).

Then, it will successively receive the second time position coordinate, the third time position coordinate, …, the mth time position coordinate sent from the adjacent left display box 10, and successively receive the second time position coordinate, the third time position coordinate, …, the nth time position coordinate sent from the adjacent upper display box 10, and perform the position coordinate assignment operation according to the following rules: if the next position coordinate (such as the second position coordinate) sent by the adjacent left display box body is the same as the column coordinate of the sent previous position coordinate (such as the first position coordinate), the column coordinate C in the position coordinates (C, R) is kept unchanged, otherwise, if the column coordinates are different, 1 is added to the column coordinate of the next position coordinate and the column coordinate is given to the position coordinate of the left display box body; similarly, if the next position coordinate (for example, the second position coordinate) from the adjacent upper display box is the same as the row coordinate of the previous position coordinate (for example, the first position coordinate), the row coordinate R in the position coordinates (C, R) remains unchanged, whereas if it is different, 1 is added to the row coordinate of the next position coordinate and the next position coordinate is given to the position coordinate. Thus, after the preset time period ends or the number of times of sending the position coordinates reaches a sufficient number of times, for example, 100 times, the position coordinates of six display boxes 10 in the LED display screen may present the result as shown in fig. 5, then the module controller 15 sets the wireless transceivers 17a to 17d in each display box 10 to operate in the transceiving mode, and after the position coordinates of each display box 10 are uploaded to the front-end system (e.g., the system controller) in combination with the resolution information, the front-end system may generate the topology information of the LED display screen according to the acquired position coordinate information, thereby generating the configuration parameters of the LED display screen and sending the configuration parameters to each display box 10 in the LED display screen, where the generation of the topology information of the display screen according to the position coordinate information is a mature technology, and therefore, it is not described in detail herein. By way of non-limiting example, the configuration parameters issued herein include, for example, the position coordinates and corresponding sequence numbers (e.g., sn 1-sn 6) of each display box, and even the orientation number of the wireless transceiver to be disabled. Therefore, the connection configuration work of each display box 10 in the LED display screen can be completed, and the wireless cascade connection among a plurality of display boxes 10 is realized.

In summary, in the embodiments of the present invention, the wireless transceivers with the operating frequencies located in the millimeter wave frequency band are respectively installed on the first to fourth sides of each display box in the LED display screen, and the wireless transceivers can be used to automatically determine the position coordinates of the display box in the whole LED display screen, so that the wireless cascade connection between the display boxes can be implemented, the connection configuration operation of the LED display screens can be simplified, and the time cost and the labor cost for installing, disassembling, and maintaining the display boxes can be significantly reduced. Furthermore, the specific circuit design of each wireless transceiver is advantageous for providing a stable and reliable wireless connection.

The Programmable logic device is, for example, an FPGA (field Programmable Gate array), the video decoder decodes an input video source to obtain data and a control signal, the data and the control signal are transmitted to the FPGA, the FPGA performs buffering via an internal RAM and performs operations of changing a clock domain and bit width conversion to obtain a processed image data signal, and the processed image data is output via the ethernet physical layer transceiver and the ethernet interface in sequence. The ethernet interface here is, for example, an RJ45 network interface integrated into a network transformer or a RJ45 separated design using a network transformer. In other embodiments, the ethernet physical layer transceiver and the ethernet interface may be replaced by a USB3.0 interface, such as a micro USB3.0 interface, connected to the FPGA.

As can be seen from a comparison between fig. 6 and fig. 7, the plurality of cascaded display boxes 10 carried by the system controller 200 in the LED display system are not limited to be arranged in a single row, but may be arranged in a plurality of rows, for example, two rows as shown in fig. 7.
