In another embodiment, the anomaly detection unit 121 and the overall controller 3 may also perform signal transmission in a coding manner to output different output signals. Specifically, the anomaly detection unit 121 may encode different anomaly information by a byte of multiple bits, for example, by a byte of 8 bits. For example, if the abnormality detection unit 121 receives LVDS abnormality information, the byte is encoded to 10000000; when the abnormality detection unit 121 receives the voltage abnormality information, the byte is encoded to 01000000. Thereafter, the abnormality detecting unit 121 follows a transmission protocol, e.g., I, set between the overall controller 3 and the abnormality detecting unit 1212And the communication protocol C is used for sending serial data formed by bytes to the master controller 3, the master controller 3 can perform memorability analysis on the serial data and identify different codes, so that the types of abnormal information can be locked according to the corresponding relation between the codes and the abnormal information, and the abnormal detection mode can also quickly lock the specific types of the abnormal information and improve the abnormal detection efficiency and accuracy. The following embodiment specifically describes a case where the abnormality detection unit 121 outputs an indication signal of a different waveform to identify the kind of the abnormal information.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 4, fig. 4 is a waveform diagram of an indication signal in an abnormal condition according to an embodiment of the present invention. For example, if the abnormality detection unit 121 receives the LVDS abnormality information and it is assumed that a data signal in the LVDS signal is abnormal (e.g., missing), the square-wave indication signal S1 is output; if the abnormality detection unit 121 receives the voltage abnormality information and assumes that the power supply voltage module 123 outputs the power supply voltage abnormality (e.g., abnormal voltage), it outputs the triangular wave waveform indication signal S2. In another example, as shown in fig. 5, fig. 5 is a waveform diagram of an indication signal in another abnormal condition provided by the embodiment of the present invention. For example, if the abnormality detection unit 121 receives the LVDS abnormality information and assumes that the data signal in the LVDS signal is abnormal, it outputs a triangular waveform indication signal S2; if the abnormality detection unit 121 receives the voltage abnormality information, assuming that the power supply voltage module 123 outputs the power supply voltage abnormality, it outputs the square wave indicating signal S1. In another example, as shown in fig. 6, fig. 6 is a waveform diagram of an indication signal in another abnormal condition provided by the embodiment of the present invention. For example, if the abnormality detection unit 121 receives the LVDS abnormality information and assumes that the data signal in the LVDS signal is abnormal, it outputs a sine wave waveform indication signal S3; if the abnormality detection unit 121 receives the voltage abnormality information, assuming that the power supply voltage module 123 outputs the power supply voltage abnormality, it outputs the square wave indicating signal S1. The sine wave indicating signal S3, the triangular wave indicating signal S2 and the square wave indicating signal S1 have large waveform differences, and are easy to distinguish, thereby identifying specific abnormal information types.
