Description

Display device, computing machine and computer system
The present invention relates to such as LCD pixel display device, computing machine and computer systems such as (LCD).
Fig. 2 is the block diagram of conventional computer system.Display device 202 comprises following parts in Fig. 2:
(a) be used to receive the video signal preprocessor 16 of incoming video signal;
(b) be used for the picture display device 2 of display video, as LCD;
(c) be used to calculate synchronizing signal number from incoming video signal, and the microcomputer 42 of definite incoming video signal pixel format; And
(d) be used for the output signal pixel from video signal preprocessor 16 is changed, the signal after will changing according to the output of microcomputer 42 then exports the pixel transitions circuit 3 of picture display device 2 to.
Video signal preprocessor 16 comprises following parts:
The video amplifier 6 that is used for amplification video signal; And
Be used for the conversion of signals that amplifier 6 amplified is become the A/D converter 5 of digital signal.
When display device 202 with said structure, by the vision signal cable 8 that is connected with the video signal output part 11 that is integrated in computing machine 102 inside, after receiving vision signal, utilize microcomputer 42 to calculate the pulse number of horizontal-drive signal and vertical synchronizing signal in the vision signals.The pixel format of microcomputer 42 designated signals then.
Digital video signal is by from the output signal of microcomputer 42-change by following specified pixel form one.
3 pairs of digital video signal pixels of pixel transitions circuit are changed, so that picture display device 2 correct display videos.
But in above-mentioned conventional computer system, the video signal data that display device 202 utilizes 42 pairs of computing machines 102 of microcomputer to be provided is counted, and determines vision signal by the polarity that detects synchronizing signal.Therefore, the counting of synchronous signal impulse is depended on to a great extent the performance of microcomputer 42.In addition, the pixel transitions ability also depends on 42 treatable number of interrupts of microcomputer to a great extent.
On market, can obtain and the similar signal of input signal that is input to display device 202 from computing machine 102.Therefore, be the pixel format that is not enough to accurate definite vision signal only with the frequency of horizontal-drive signal and vertical synchronizing signal and polarity.
Consequently, comprise that the picture display device 2 of LCD control panel can not display video, perhaps promptly enable display video, shown video can not be in optimum.
The present invention receives the pixel format data of being determined by computing machine (PFD) by allowing display device, thereby makes the display device can be with the optimum display video on picture display device.
The invention discloses following technology, i.e. computing machine output and the irrelevant PFD of vision signal, and display device receives and PFD definite and that vision signal is irrelevant.
This structure allows display device accurately to determine the PFD of incoming video signal, so that picture display device can be with the optimum display video.
Fig. 1 is the computer block diagram of corresponding one exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
Fig. 2 is the block diagram of conventional computer system.
Hereinafter showed a preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.Identical parts indicate the index number identical with Fig. 1 in conventional computer system shown in Figure 2.
In the present embodiment, for carrying out pixel transitions more accurately, be provided for receiving control bus corresponding to incoming video signal PFD than conventional display device.In addition, the microcomputer 41 of microcomputer 42 with special construction replaces.
The horizontal sync frequencies of conventional 42 pairs of horizontal-drive signals of microcomputer and the vertical synchronizing frequency of a vertical synchronizing signal are counted, microcomputer 42 is according to the level and the vertical frequency of counting, use a computing formula, VESA-GTF (VideoElectronics stands Association-Generalized Timing FormulaStandard) for example calculates the pixel format of video.
On the contrary, microcomputer 41 by control bus 15 receive a vision signal pixel format (pixel format comprises a horizontal sync frequencies, vertical synchronizing frequency, horizontal viewing area, after the level along etc.).Therefore, microcomputer 41 does not need for example this computing formula of VESA-GTF.
Except that control bus and microcomputer 41, the miscellaneous part of computer system of the present invention is identical with conventional computer system as shown in Figure 2.In other words, display device 201 shown in Figure 1 is different from conventional display device shown in Figure 2 202, shows microcomputer 41 and the I/O terminal 13 of first control bus that is complementary with microcomputer 41.
In computing machine 101, the I/O terminal 14 of the video signal data output block 12 and second control bus that is complementary with parts 12 is better than traditional computer shown in Figure 2 102.
Control bus on display device 201 next doors comprises the I/O terminal 13 and the microcomputer 41 of first control bus.
More particularly, microcomputer 41 is by the I/O terminal 14 of I/O terminal 13, control bus cable 15 and second control bus of first bus, and the request transmission is from the PFD of the incoming video signal of computing machine 101.Then at next constantly, microcomputer 41 is pressed above-mentioned same program but opposite order, receives the PFD from video signal data output block 12.
Said structure allows display device 201, by receiving PFD from the incoming video signal of computing machine 101 with the irrelevant control bus of incoming video signal.Therefore, even incoming video signal changes or what handle is similarity signal, display device 201 can accurately be determined the pixel format of vision signal, and inerrably discerns incoming video signal.Therefore, picture display device 2 can be under the optimum of being everlasting display video.
The details of PFD comprises in Video Graphics Array (VGA) form, i.e. following items:
(a) horizontal frequency=31.46kHz (800 point)
(b) level shows time=25.423 microseconds (640 point)
(c) horizontal sync time=3.813 microseconds (96 point)
(d) horizontal back edge time=1.907 microseconds (48 point)
(e) horizontal leading edge time=0.636 microsecond (16 point)
(f) vertical frequency=59.93kHz (525 line)
(g) vertically show time=15.254 millisecond (480 line)
(h) vertical synchronization time=0.064 millisecond (2 line)
(i) vertical rear edge time=1.049 millisecond (33 line)
(j) vertical front edge edge time=0.318 millisecond (10 line)
(k) Dot Clock frequency=25.17MHz
(l) staggered scanning=unavailable
The details of PFD is not limited to above-mentioned project, as long as even and can determine that PFD comprises seldom the project of number and also can accept.
This structure need not the user or circuit is finely tuned, and guarantees often to obtain on picture display device 2 the best video demonstration.
In the above-described embodiments, video signal output part 11 is connected by vision signal cable 8, vision signal entry terminal 7 and video signal output terminal 9 with the video amplifier 6.But the video amplifier 6 can be directly connected to parts 11.
Video signal data output block 12 is connected by control bus cable 15, the first control bus I/O terminal 13, the second control bus I/O terminal 14 with microcomputer 41; But microcomputer 41 can be directly connected to parts 12.
Display device of the present invention comprises as mentioned above: the video signal preprocessor that is used to receive incoming video signal; And
Display device is used for the pixel transitions circuit changed from the output signal pixel of video signal preprocessor, so that can show incoming video signal with suitable video on picture display device.Because can obtain accurate PFD, so this structure allows display device display video under optimum.In U.S. Patent No. 5,933, described a kind of example pixel conversion method in 196, but also needed a certain pixel transitions method.
More particularly, control bus sends from the requirement of display device and transmits the request of PFD to computing machine, and PFD is sent to display device from computing machine,, and on display device, often show with optimum so that incoming video signal is inerrably discerned pixel format.Therefore, need not vision signal is finely tuned.
