In addition, the switching circuit 10a with higher cost is used in the above technical solution, which leads to the increase of the overall cost of the electronic device.
To the problem that exists among the correlation technique, this disclosure provides a show data transmission system, and this system need not to set up switch circuit, can realize the independent demonstration of main screen and vice screen, and can realize showing through two at least main screen display driver chips control main screen, has promoted the resolution ratio and the pixel density of main screen to the display effect that makes the main screen is better.

In addition, the display of the main screen 1 is controlled by at least two main screen display driving chips, so that the resolution and the pixel density of the main screen 1 with a large display area can be improved, and the display effect of the main screen 1 is improved. This system need not to set up switch IC, can realize the independent demonstration of main screen 1 and vice screen 2, when reducing electronic equipment hardware cost, can also improve the display effect of main screen 1, promotes user's visual experience.
In one example, referring to fig. 2 or 3, the electronic device is a folding screen mobile terminal, and the system further includes a first flexible circuit board 10 connected to the first display driving chip 5, and a second flexible circuit board 11 connected to the sub-screen display driving chip 4. The system further comprises a third flexible circuit board 12, wherein the third flexible circuit board 12 is electrically connected with the first flexible circuit board 10 and the second flexible circuit board 11 respectively, so that the first display driving chip 5 is in communication connection with the secondary screen display driving chip 4. Because folding screen mobile terminal's main screen 1 and vice screen 2 set up back to back, and main screen 1 still includes expansion state and fold condition, in order to guarantee signal transmission reliability and stability to ensure that processing technology can accomplish the course of working, consequently need set up three flexible circuit board that can buckle. Through setting up three flexible circuit board, can also dodge when having other hardware in mobile terminal, strengthen mobile terminal's the performance of arranging.
When the auxiliary screen 2 is required to display, the main control chip 3 transmits a display signal acting on the auxiliary screen 2 to the first display driving chip 5 through the first signal line 8, and after the first display driving chip 5 receives the display signal, the display signal is transmitted to the auxiliary screen display driving chip 4 through the first flexible circuit board 10, the third flexible circuit board 12 and the second flexible circuit board 11. And after the auxiliary screen display driving chip 4 of the auxiliary screen 2 receives the display signal, the auxiliary screen 2 is controlled to display.
When the display of the auxiliary screen 2 is not needed, the main control chip 3 transmits an invalid display signal acting on the auxiliary screen 2 to the first display driving chip 5 through the first signal line 8, and the first display driving chip 5 transmits the display signal to the auxiliary screen display driving chip 4 after receiving the display signal.
The system can improve the display effect of the main screen 1, can realize independent display of the main screen 1 and the auxiliary screen 2 without setting a switch IC, and is low in cost.
In an exemplary embodiment, a display data transmission system is provided, which is a further improvement of the above-mentioned system, and as shown in fig. 2 or 3, in the system, the second display driver chip 6 of at least two main screen display driver chips is communicatively connected with the main control chip 3 of the electronic device through a second signal line 9.
When the main screen 1 is required to display, the main control chip 3 transmits a display signal acting on the main screen 1 to the second display driving chip 6 through the second signal line 9, meanwhile, the main control chip 3 transmits a display signal acting on the main screen 1 to the first display driving chip 5 through the first signal line 8, and after the first display driving chip 5 and the second display driving chip 6 receive the display signal, the main screen 1 is controlled to display.
When the main screen 1 does not need to display, the main control chip 3 stops transmitting the display signal acting on the main screen 1 to the second display driving chip 6 through the second signal line 9, meanwhile, the main control chip 3 stops transmitting the display signal acting on the main screen 1 to the first display driving chip 5 through the first signal line 8, and the main screen 1 does not display. Or, when the main screen 1 does not need to display, the main control chip 3 transmits the invalid display signal acting on the main screen 1 to the second display driving chip 6 through the second signal line 9, and meanwhile, the main control chip 3 transmits the invalid display signal acting on the main screen 1 to the first display driving chip 5 through the first signal line 8, and the main screen 1 does not display.
In the system, the display of the main screen 1 is cooperatively controlled through the first display driving chip 5 and the second display driving chip 6, so that the resolution and the pixel density of the main screen 1 are improved, and the display effect of the main screen 1 is improved.
In an exemplary embodiment, a display data transmission system is provided, which is a further improvement of the above system, and as shown in fig. 3, at least two main screen display driver chips further include a third display driver chip 7, and the third display driver chip 7 is in communication connection with the second display driver chip 6.
In the system, the display of the main screen 1 is realized through the first display driving chip 5, the second display driving chip 6 and the third display driving chip 7, and the display effect of the main screen 1 is further improved.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 3, when the main panel 1 displays, the main control chip transmits the second display signal to the second display driving chip 6 through the second signal line 9 at a frequency of 120Hz, that is, the second display driving chip 6 and the third display driving chip 7 share the second signal line 9. Since the main screen 1 displays at a frequency of 60Hz (usually, the refresh frequency of the display screen of the mobile terminal is 60Hz), and the second display signal needs to include a display signal for the second display driving chip 6 and the third display driving chip 7, in order to ensure the reliability and stability of signal transmission, and the display signals received by the second display driving chip 6 and the third display driving chip 7 are both in accordance with the refresh frequency of the main screen 1. The main control chip transmits a second display signal at 120Hz, wherein the second display driving chip 6 transmits the received second display signal to the third display driving chip 7 when the 2N +1 frame of the signal transmission process; the second display driving chip 6 retains the received second display signal at the 2N frame of the signal transmission process.
Through the mode, the three main screen display driving chips can jointly control the main screen 1 to display, the resolution and the pixel density of the main screen 1 are further improved, and the display effect is improved.
It should be noted that, when the refresh frequency of the display screen changes, for example, when the refresh frequency of the main screen 1 is 90Hz, the second display driving chip 6 and the third display driving chip share the same second signal line 9, so that the main control chip 3 sends the second display signal to the falling display driving chip 6 through the second signal line 9 at a frequency of 180 Hz.
Of course, it can be understood that, on the premise that the process can be implemented, when the number of the display driver chips for controlling the main screen 1 to display is larger, for example, when three display driver chips and four display driver chips share the same second signal line 9, the frequencies of the display signals received by each display driver chip are the same and are the refresh frequencies of the main screen 1, and in the transmission process, the transmission frequency of the main control chip 3 is a multiple of the display driver chips. For example, when three display driver chips share the same second signal line 9, the transmission frequency is three times the frequency of the signal received by each driver display chip. When the same second signal line 9 is shared by four display driver chips, the transmission frequency is four times the frequency of the signal received by each driver display chip.
The present disclosure further provides a display data transmission method, which is applied to the display data transmission system, and can improve the display effect of the main screen 1 and realize independent display of the main screen 1 and the auxiliary screen 2.
In an exemplary embodiment, referring to fig. 2, there is provided a display data transmission method applied to an electronic device including a main screen 1 and a sub-screen 2, the method including:
the main control chip 3 sends a first display signal to the first display driving chip 5 through the first signal line 8 according to the display states of the main screen 1 and the auxiliary screen 2 of the electronic device; the first display driving chip 5 recognizes signal characteristics included in the received first display signal, and transmits and/or retains a display signal having target signal characteristics. The term "hold" refers to that the display driving chip drives the display screen to which the display driving chip belongs to display according to the corresponding display signal. For example, in the present application, the first display driving chip 5 is a main screen display driving chip, which belongs to the main screen 1 and is used for driving the main screen 1 to display, and when the first display driving chip 5 retains a display signal with a certain target signal characteristic, the first display driving chip 5 drives the main screen 1 to display according to the display signal with the certain target signal characteristic.
Wherein the target signal characteristic is used to determine whether the first display signal acts on the primary screen 1 or the secondary screen 2, the target signal characteristic for example comprising a display frame characteristic. When the target signal feature comprises a display frame feature, the first display signal is determined to act on the main screen 1 or the auxiliary screen 2 through the frame where the first display signal is located.
In one example, the target signal characteristic is a display frame characteristic, in this example, the 2N +1 frame transmitted signal is a display signal having a first sub-target signal characteristic, and the 2N frame transmitted signal is a display signal having a second sub-target signal characteristic, where N is a positive integer greater than zero.
Referring to fig. 2, in the 2N +1 th frame, the main control chip 3 transmits a first display signal to the first display driving chip 5 through the first signal line 8, and since the first display signal is transmitted in the 2N +1 th frame, the first display signal is a display signal having a first target signal characteristic, and the first display driving chip 5 transmits the received display signal to the sub-screen display driving chip 4 for controlling the display of the sub-screen 2; in the 2N frame, the main control chip 3 transmits the first display signal to the first display driving chip 5 through the first signal line 8, and the first display signal is transmitted in the 2N frame, so that the first display signal is a display signal having the second target signal characteristic, and the first display driving chip 5 retains the display signal.
In an exemplary embodiment, there is provided a display data transmission method, as shown with reference to fig. 2, which is a further improvement of the above method, the method comprising: the main control chip 3 sends a second display signal to the second display driving chip 6 through a second signal line 9 according to the display state of the main screen 1 of the electronic device; and the second display driving chip 6 controls the main screen 1 to display according to the received second display signal.
The display state of the main screen 1 indicates whether the main screen 1 needs to be displayed. For example, in a state that the main screen 1 is required to display, the main control chip 3 transmits a second display signal to the second display driving chip 6 through the second signal line 9, and the second display driving chip 6 controls the main screen 1 to display according to the received second display signal; in the state that the main screen 1 is not needed to display, the main control chip 3 stops transmitting the second display signal to the second display driving chip 6 through the second signal line 9, and the main screen 1 does not display.
The main control chip 3 stops transmitting the second display signal to the second display driving chip 6 through the second signal line 9, and includes at least one of the following:
the main control chip 3 stops sending the second display signal;
the second signal line 9 stops transmitting the second display signal;
the second display driving chip 6 stops receiving the second display signal;
the second display signal is replaced with an invalid signal.
The display driving chip drives a corresponding display screen to display according to a certain display signal, and then the display signal is an effective information number. The display driving chip can not drive a corresponding display screen to display according to a certain display signal, and the display signal is an invalid signal; or, the display driving chip drives the corresponding display screen to display in a black screen mode according to a certain display signal, and then the display signal is also an invalid signal.
In an exemplary embodiment, there is provided a display data transmission method which is a further improvement of the above-described method, as shown with reference to fig. 2, in which the display states of the main screen 1 and the sub-screen 2 include at least one of:
the main screen 1 and the auxiliary screen 2 are displayed simultaneously;
the main screen 1 displays, and the auxiliary screen 2 does not display;
the main screen 1 is not displayed and the sub-screen 2 is displayed.
Wherein, when the main screen 1 and the sub-screen 2 are displayed simultaneously, the sending and/or maintaining the display signal of the target signal characteristic comprises:
the main control chip 3 sends a first display signal to the first display driving chip 5 through a first signal line 8, wherein the first display signal comprises a display signal with the characteristics of a first sub-target signal and a display signal with the characteristics of a second sub-target signal.
After receiving the first display signal, the first display driver chip 5 sends a display signal with a first sub-target signal characteristic to the sub-screen display driver chip 4, and the first display driver chip 5 reserves the display signal with a second sub-target signal characteristic to control the main screen and the sub-screen to display simultaneously. Wherein, the display signal with the first sub-target signal characteristic and the display signal with the second sub-target signal characteristic are both valid signals.
Meanwhile, the main control chip 3 sends a second display signal to the second display driving chip 6 through the second signal line 9.
And after receiving the display signal with the second sub-target signal characteristic, the sub-screen display driving chip 4 controls the sub-screen 2 to display the second display signal. The first display driving chip 5 receives a display signal with the first sub-target signal characteristic, and after the second display driving chip receives the second display signal, the first display driving chip 5 and the second display driving chip 6 drive the main screen 1 together to display.
Here, it should be noted that, in order to ensure the display effect of the main screen and the sub-screen, the frequencies of the display signal with the second sub-target signal characteristic received by the sub-screen display driver chip 4, the display signal with the first sub-target signal characteristic received by the first display driver chip 5, and the second display signal received by the second display driver chip 6 are the same, and are the refresh frequencies of the main screen and the sub-screen.
When the main screen 1 displays and the auxiliary screen 2 does not display, the display signal for transmitting and/or retaining the target signal characteristic comprises:
the main control chip 3 sends a first display signal to the first display driving chip 5 through a first signal line 8, wherein the first display signal comprises a display signal with a third sub-target signal characteristic and a display signal with a fourth sub-target signal characteristic to control the main screen to display and the auxiliary screen not to display, the display signal with the third sub-target signal characteristic is an invalid signal, and the display signal with the fourth sub-target signal characteristic is an valid signal. Here, the invalid signal may be, for example, a blank frame.
The first display driver chip 5 sends the display signal with the third sub-target signal characteristic to the sub-screen display driver chip 4, and the first display driver chip 5 retains the display signal with the fourth sub-target signal characteristic. Since the display signal having the characteristics of the third sub-target signal is an invalid signal, the sub-screen 2 is in a non-display state.
The main control chip 3 sends a second display signal to the second display driving chip 6 through a second signal line 9. The first display driving chip 5 receives a display signal with the fourth sub-target signal characteristic, and after the second display driving chip receives the second display signal, the first display driving chip 5 and the second display driving chip 6 drive the main screen 1 together to display.
When the main screen 1 is not displayed and the auxiliary screen 2 is displayed, the sending and/or reserving the display signal of the target signal characteristic comprises the following steps:
the main control chip 3 sends a first display signal to the first display driving chip 5 through the first signal line 8, the first display signal includes a display signal with the signal characteristic of the fifth sub-target and a display signal with the signal characteristic of the sixth sub-target, the display signal with the signal characteristic of the sixth sub-target is an invalid signal, and the invalid signal is, for example, a blank frame.
The first display driving chip 5 sends a display signal with the fifth sub-target signal characteristic to the sub-screen display driving chip 4, and the sub-screen display driving chip 4 controls the sub-screen 2 to display after receiving the display signal with the fifth sub-target signal characteristic.
The main control chip 3 stops sending the second display signal to the second display driving chip 6 through the second signal line 9.
Since the signal related to the main screen 1 received by the first display driver chip 5, i.e. the display signal having the characteristics of the sixth sub-target signal, is an invalid signal, the second display driver chip 6 does not receive the second display signal, and thus the main screen 1 does not display.
In one example, the display states of the main screen 1 and the sub screen 2 include: the main screen 1 and the auxiliary screen 2 are displayed simultaneously; the main screen 1 displays, and the auxiliary screen 2 does not display; the main screen 1 is not displayed and the sub-screen 2 is displayed. The signal characteristics include display frame characteristics, N being a positive integer greater than zero. The first frame rate is twice the second frame rate, specifically, the second frame rate is 60Hz, and the first frame rate is 120 Hz.
When the main screen 1 and the auxiliary screen 2 are required to be displayed simultaneously:
in the 2N +1 th frame, the main control chip 3 transmits a first display signal to the first display driving chip 5 at a first frame rate through the first signal line 8, and the first display driving chip 5 transmits the received first display signal with the first sub-target signal characteristic to the sub-screen display driving chip 4 through the first flexible circuit board 10, the third flexible circuit board 12 and the second flexible circuit board 11; the main control chip 3 transmits the second display signal to the second display driving chip 6 through the second signal line 9 at the second frame rate.
In the 2N frame, the main control chip 3 transmits the first display signal to the first display driving chip 5 through the first signal line 8 at the first frame rate, and the first display driving chip 5 reserves the received first display signal with the characteristics of the second sub-target signal; the main control chip 3 transmits the second display signal to the second display driving chip 6 through the second signal line 9 at the second frame rate.
By the mode, the main screen 1 and the auxiliary screen 2 can be better ensured to be displayed at the same frame rate, and the whole display effect is improved. In addition, the first display driving chip 5 and the second display driving chip 6 are commonly used for displaying the main screen 1, so that the resolution and the pixel density of the main screen 1 can be improved, and the display effect is improved.
When the main screen 1 is required to display and the auxiliary screen 2 is not required to display:
