Definitions

  • the invention relates to a display system which can be used, for example, in wall elements for interior design, in furniture, in electrical appliances, such as refrigerators, or in mirror elements for sanitary rooms or elevators.
  • U 1 describes a large-scale wall element for room design, which is suitable for displaying visual media and moreover has a surface which is easy to clean and has a high value or quality impression.
  • the known wall element comprises a glass outer surface provided with a decorative pattern, behind which a commercially available flat screen is arranged, such that the flat screen is arranged in a cutout formed by the decorative pattern, by means of which the image representation can be viewed by the user.
  • Ng in the known display systems is also that in case of damage to an electronic component of the different standard input sockets having flat screen this must be removed and replaced, with the expansion of the flat screen, especially if this is behind wall elements or integrated in furniture, usually difficult.
  • the entire flat panel screen must be replaced when new types of socket standards prevail on the market, since the input sockets, such as Scart or HDMI sockets for receiving a video signal are an integral part of the (built) flat screen.
  • the connection of plug-in contacts in the installed state of the display is problematic since, for this purpose too, the entire display must be removed or at least exposed in order to reach the input sockets of the flat-screen display.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a display system optimized with regard to a minimum installation space requirement.
  • the exchange of fault-prone electronic components and the connection of plug contacts should be facilitated.
  • a display system comprising a fixed behind a transparent surface, power supply-free display module and a signal via a flexible and freely routable cable signal connectable to the display module and / or connected, separate from the display module and relative to the display module within the range of the cable freely placed control module, which includes at least one normalized input jack with a defined height for receiving an analog or digital antenna or video signal.
  • the invention is based on the idea of arranging an analog or digital antenna or video signal processing and the display module with an image control signal control electronics separately from the display module in a controller module and this controller module, which is a separate element of the display module, so with the display module no common enclosure encloses a freely deployable cable sig- to be connected to the display module.
  • the control unit module comprises at least one normalized input socket, for example an antenna socket, a scart socket or an HDMI socket for receiving an analog or digital antenna or video signal, wherein the video signal (picture signal), for example, from a separate from the controller module (or also integrated there tuner, a DVD or Blu-ray player or from a PC can originate.
  • the display module of a display designed according to the concept of the invention which is based on the spin-off of the thick-critical control electronics / input socket combination in a control module separate from the display module from the control electronics, is also designed without power supply, wherein the power supply can be an integral part of the control module if required or, more preferably, is formed separately from this.

  • the thickness extension of the freed from the aforementioned display module ie the maximum distance between a front surface (image area) and a back of the display module is less than 20 mm, preferably less than 15mm, most preferably about 10mm.
  • the resulting from the separation of the control electronics, the input jacks and the power supply minimized thickness extension of the display module brings next to a small footprint and the resulting possibility for the abandonment of conversions existing, to accommodate the display module serving furniture, etc. further advantages.
  • the control unit module can preferably be arranged easily accessible in order to be able to connect new antenna or video signal supply components, for example a new DVD player, by insertion into a corresponding input socket of the control module.
  • controller module can be replaced faster and easier due to the improved accessibility, for example, because the standard input sockets no longer comply with the current standards chen, or because the control module has a defect.
  • the latter is in particular of practical relevance insofar as statistically in nine out of ten defects in flat screens of the prior art not the actual display but the control electronics fails.
  • the mechanical adaptation of the data line to the display module takes place via an interface, as well as the preparation of the supply voltage for the display module (DC / DC conversion).
  • the internal distribution of the necessary signals eg LVDS, TTL, backlight, various other control signals internally, etc.
  • currents eg main power supply of a preferably external power supply, integrated EMC filter, supply of the DC / DC converter ), as well as a DC / DC conversion.
  • the cable connecting the control unit module to the display module simultaneously serves to supply energy to the display module, thus the control module (with integrated or separate power supply) also ensures the power supply of the display module.
  • the cable preferably does not comprise only a single signal line for supplying the display module with the image control signal, possibly consisting of many individual signals, but rather a plurality of individual signal lines, very particularly preferably a number of individual signal lines corresponding to a digital signal width (word width) of the image control signal. If required, additional control signal lines can be provided.
