The flat panel has a flat panel with pixels arranged in a matrix pattern between two glass substrates, and a flat panel for driving the flat panel.

As shown in Figure 1 describing the complete circuit structure of a common flat display module, it is used to drive 1 > (: 6 modules of the flat panel 40) include an ipcB0, a row of drivers 20, and a row of drivers 30, where the main pCB 10 is used for receiving from an external device like a pc to be received by a Synchronous signals and other RGB image data processed by the timing controller T-con of the custom integrated circuit in the FPGA type (flat pin grid array) are processed so that the image data and multiple control signals are based on the flat panel 40. Resulting from the architecture, this column drives The driver 20 is used to provide scanning signals for receiving the power signal 51 of the autonomous Pcb 10 and the column signal lines based on the column drive control signal 50. The row driver 30 is used for receiving the grayscale voltage 61 and processing in the main PCB. The control signal 60 and the image data provide a gray-scale voltage 61.

As cited above, because an I / O format is required to meet the requirements for general display standards, no matter how good the above conditions are, the risk of modification is very high. .

J Furthermore, the I / O format of flat-panel displays is limited and the efficiency of display products cannot reach the leg. In addition, the incompatibility between the kite generated by the option board and the bidirectional interface conditions leads to inferior image quality and little help in optimizing the characteristics of the monitor product. · / — T artifacts (fixation) are generated by the difference in the display mode of the CRT monitor. The driving frequency of the CR seat is 40 Hz to 85 Hz. The driving method of the flat panel display is reversed. In other words, the characteristics of the front panel are optimized. For the sake of t, the driving conditions at 60 Hz must also be optimized. In addition, since the image card or display source does not fully use the vesa standard, different manufacturers provide data with various timings, where various timings are slightly different from the standard timing due to slight deviations. Therefore, when the timing of the optimal driving conditions of the flat panel should be different from the timing of the VESA mark or the standard signal has a slight deviation due to different manufacturers, even if an additional option board is used to adjust the variability timing, Not enough to fully perform the above functions and additional boards increase costs. In addition, the blank space (horizontal synchronization signal, rear entrance, front entrance) used to restore the next line after the line of the electron beam is scanned with a standard such as the VESA standard input timing of the CR Ding scan, And a blank space (vertical synchronization signal, back side entrance, front side entrance) restored from the last position with the scan-field to the first position is specified for each frequency. However, due to the fact that architectures such as active matrixes that are different from scanning architectures are driven by flat panels, at the end of the transfer field or line -6- X 297 mm) Itffi tig? _ (CNS) 554308 A7 ----— B7_ V. Description of the invention (4) '-----— After displaying no signal, a blank interval will only have the minimum number of pixels (example of horizontal blank) or line (example of vertical blank) Generally, there are many blank spaces, which are different from: handing. In addition, by using this type of option board such as A / D board, when the operating frequency is increased and the I / O becomes unstable due to the unnecessary blank space in the VESA condition, the driving conditions of the flat panel also become Quite unstable. Therefore, it is necessary to enable the flat panel to be driven by reducing the above-mentioned blank timing at an optimal driving timing condition, so that the display characteristics become stable and the reliability becomes good. In addition, there are instances where the display characteristics must be adjusted based on product tolerance or user circumstances and conditions. Because these flat-panel monitor products are traditionally set based on the characteristics of flat panels with fixed optimal driving conditions, they should be adjusted by additional option boards or interface panels. However, by adjusting the gamma, contrast, brightness, flicker, and other display characteristics, when modifying the optimal driving conditions fixed according to the characteristics of the flat panel, there will be characteristics of the flat panel due to the higher contrast and The lower gray scale is in line with the problem that the flat panel in the shortened state can be used with 100% efficiency when the A / D board or option board is used. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a basic driver architecture that eliminates the cost increase due to the use of option boards and avoids the kite caused by mismatched interface conditions. In other words, it is necessary to promote the modification of the information on FRC, 1/0, and other display characteristics in order to make the resolution information, the vertical and horizontal frequencies of the pattern signal, and the operating frequency of the main frequency of the image signal sink, And digital information such as gamma voltage, flicker voltage, and brightness value can be shared by the image source and the flat display module can be used by the user.
