Numeric display unit and method thereof according to pixel clock frequency to identify resolution degree
Technical field
The present invention provides a kind of digital video display device, refers to a kind of digital video display device that can differentiate the image frame resolution according to pixel clock frequency especially.
Background technology
Display device is a computer peripheral equipment commonly used, is used for the picture signal that a computing machine is transmitted is converted into the image frame of a plurality of continuous demonstrations, for the user read and use a computer in signal.Along with the progress of science and technology, the display screen of display device is gradually by analog cathode-ray tube, and is progressive to digital cathode-ray tube or display panels (liquid crystal display panel).No matter be any display screen, display device is all necessary can be according to the picture signal that computing machine transmitted, correct determine level and the vertical resolution that this computing machine is desired the show image picture, and image frame is shown on the display screen with suitable size according to this resolution.If method of discrimination is perfect inadequately, display device just can't be correct determine the resolution that this computing machine is desired the show image picture, this moment, image frame just may produce problems such as instability (Jitter) or magnification ratio mistake, adjust the size of image frame on the display device and must be dependent on the user in visual mode, very inconvenience in the use.Therefore, how the next picture signal of computing machine transmission is done suitable processing,, become and researched and developed important problem of display device now with the level and the vertical resolution of correct decision image frame.
Known display device is to receive the picture signal that is transmitted by computing machine via a cable of being made up of several signal wires.Include signal of video signal (Video Signal), vertical synchronizing signal (Vertical Synchronous Signal in this picture signal; Vs) and horizontal-drive signal (HorizontalSynchronous Signal; Hs) etc.Display device just can demonstrate corresponding image frame on its display screen after receiving these signals and being handled.
See also Fig. 1.Fig. 1 is the synoptic diagram of the shown image frame of known display device 12.Known display device can be shown as the picture signal that computing machine transmitted a plurality of image frames 12, and these image frames 12 can be shown in regular turn on the display device and watch for the user to form a dynamic menu.Each image frame 12 includes many image scan lines 14 (being the line shown in Fig. 1), and each image scan line 14 includes a plurality of image pixels 16 (being the grid shown in Fig. 1).Image frame 12 can be different resolutions, for example if resolution is 800 * 600, represents that then this image frame 12 has 600 image scan lines 14 in the horizontal direction, and has 800 image pixels 16 on every image scan line 14.
The vertical synchronizing signal that is transmitted in the picture signal by computing machine is the picture display frequency that is used for controlling image frame 12, and horizontal-drive signal is the display frequency that is used for controlling image scan line 14 in each image frame 12.That is to say that whenever display device receives a vertical synchronizing signal, it can restart to show a new image frame 12; And whenever display device receives a horizontal-drive signal, it can begin to show a new image scan line 14 from next line.Therefore, if the vertical resolution that computing machine is desired the show image picture is 400, and the vertical synchronizing signal frequency is 85Hz, and then the horizontal-drive signal frequency that is sent to display device from computing machine should be about 37.9kHz.
See also Fig. 2.Fig. 2 is the synoptic diagram of known display device in order to the resolution table of comparisons 20 of judgement image frame resolution.Known display device is judged the method for image frame resolution, be to set up the combination of a level and vertical synchronizing signal frequency and make up the resolution table of comparisons 20 of corresponding image frame resolution, to differentiate the image frame resolution that computing machine passes the picture signal institute desire demonstration of coming with this.When display device received picture signal, display device can be calculated the horizontal-drive signal that this picture signal comprises and the frequency of vertical synchronizing signal, tables look-up to learn the image frame resolution according to result of calculation then.For example, can learn that then the resolution of image frame should be 640 * 400 via tabling look-up if the vertical synchronizing signal that receives and the frequency of horizontal-drive signal are respectively 85Hz and 37.9kHz.Same, if the vertical synchronizing signal that receives and the frequency of horizontal-drive signal are respectively 60Hz and 48.4kHz, then can should be 1024 * 768 via the resolution that can learn image frame of tabling look-up.
Yet known digital video display device also can't determine the image frame resolution that computing machine institute desire shows fully.For example, if the image frame resolution that computing machine institute desire shows is 640 * 400, the vertical synchronizing signal frequency is 85Hz, and the horizontal-drive signal frequency that is sent to display device from computing machine is 37.9Hz.But if the image frame resolution that computing machine institute desire shows is 720 * 400, the vertical synchronizing signal frequency that is sent to display device from computing machine is 85Hz, and the horizontal-drive signal frequency is 37.9kHz too.Thus, the display device image frame resolution that just can't show only according to the frequency of level and the vertical synchronizing signal contrast resolution table of comparisons 20 correct resolution computing machine institute desires is 720 * 400 or 640 * 400.When running into this kind situation, known display device normally solves in the mode of " conjecture ", easily produces problems such as image frame instability or magnification ratio mistake so naturally.
