FIG. 4 is a schematic circuit diagram of a demodulator 1551 according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the demodulator 1551 has a flip-flop 15511, a reverse gate 15512, a reverse gate 15513, a buffer gate 15514, a mutex or gate 15515 and an OR gate 15516.

The output of the reverse gate 15513 and the output of the buffer gate 15514 are respectively connected to the two inputs of the mutex or gate 15515. The output of the mutex or gate 15515 is electrically connected to the input trigger terminal of the flip-flop 15511 and the second input terminal of the OR gate 15516. 4 is labeled with a second modulation signal M2, a signal E1, a signal E2, and a signal E3. In an embodiment, the signal E3 can be used simultaneously as the gate drive signal GD and the data drive signal DD. The subsequent system first explains the generation of the signal E3. Please explain how the signal E3 acts as the gate drive signal GD and the data drive signal DD at the same time.

請一併參照圖5以說明圖4中各信號的相對關係,圖5係為根據本發明圖4所繪示之解調器1551的時序控制示意圖。圖5中更標示有第一調變信號M1,在此實施例中係令第一調變信號M1為週期性的方波以便說明。而於實務上,第一調變信號M1也可具有其他的波形,而不以所舉之例為限。需注意的是,由於傳送接收之間可能具有時間差,為避免造成誤會,在圖5中係標示第一調變信號M1所對應的時間點為時間點T1~T4,而標示第二調變信號M2、信號E1、信號E2與信號E3所對應的時間點為時間點T1’~T4’。其中,時間點T1~T4係分別對應時間點T1’~T4’。5 is used to illustrate the relative relationship of the signals in FIG. 4, and FIG. 5 is a timing control diagram of the demodulator 1551 according to FIG. 4 of the present invention. The first modulation signal M1 is further indicated in FIG. 5, and in this embodiment, the first modulation signal M1 is a periodic square wave for explanation. In practice, the first modulation signal M1 may also have other waveforms, and is not limited to the examples. It should be noted that, since there may be a time difference between transmission and reception, in order to avoid misunderstanding, in FIG. 5, the time point corresponding to the first modulation signal M1 is time point T1~T4, and the second modulation signal is indicated. The time points corresponding to M2, signal E1, signal E2 and signal E3 are time points T1'~T4'. Among them, the time points T1 to T4 correspond to the time points T1' to T4', respectively.

其中,於時間點T1,第一調變信號M1被拉至相對的高電壓準位,對應地,第二調變信號M2於時間點T1’被暫時拉至反向電壓準位。受到第二調變信號M2觸發,信號E1於時間點T1’至時間點T2’之間為相對的高電壓準位,信號E2於時間點T1’至時間點T3’之間為相對的高電壓準位。其中於時間點T2’至時間點T3’之間,信號E1為相對的低電壓準位。於時間點T3’至時間點T4’之間,信號E1被拉至高電壓準位。於時間點T4,第一調變信號M1被拉至低電壓準位。因此,於時間點T1’至時間點T4’之間,信號E3為相對的高電壓準位。如圖5所示,信號E3的波形係對應於第一調變信號M1的波形,對應地還原了第一調變信號M1的波形而完成解調。Wherein, at the time point T1, the first modulation signal M1 is pulled to a relatively high voltage level, and correspondingly, the second modulation signal M2 is temporarily pulled to the reverse voltage level at the time point T1'. Triggered by the second modulation signal M2, the signal E1 is a relatively high voltage level between the time point T1' and the time point T2', and the signal E2 is a relatively high voltage between the time point T1' and the time point T3'. Level. Wherein between the time point T2' and the time point T3', the signal E1 is a relatively low voltage level. Between time point T3' and time point T4', signal E1 is pulled to a high voltage level. At time point T4, the first modulation signal M1 is pulled to a low voltage level. Therefore, between time point T1' and time point T4', signal E3 is a relatively high voltage level. As shown in FIG. 5, the waveform of the signal E3 corresponds to the waveform of the first modulation signal M1, and the waveform of the first modulation signal M1 is correspondingly restored to complete the demodulation.

請接著參照圖6以說明第一調變信號M1的實施態樣,圖6係為根據本發明一實施例所繪示之第一調變信號M1封包格式的示意圖。於一實施例中,第一調變信號M1具有至少一封包,其中所述的封包被定義為多個欄位。如圖6所示,在圖6所示的實施例中,封包F具有起始檢查欄位F1、影像起始欄位F2、驅動欄位F3與結束檢查欄位F4。其中,驅動欄位F3可再定義為控制欄位F31與資料欄位F32。在此並不限制控制欄位F31與資料欄位F32的先後。Referring to FIG. 6 , an embodiment of the first modulation signal M1 is illustrated. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a first modulation signal M1 packet format according to an embodiment of the invention. In an embodiment, the first modulation signal M1 has at least one packet, wherein the packet is defined as a plurality of fields. As shown in FIG. 6, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the packet F has an initial check field F1, an image start field F2, a drive field F3, and an end check field F4. Among them, the drive field F3 can be redefined as the control field F31 and the data field F32. The order of the control field F31 and the data field F32 is not limited here.

起始檢查欄位F1用以指示封包F的起點。影像起始欄位F2用以指示局部畫面資料於畫面資料中的區間位置。區間位置關聯於對應於收到封包F的畫素組於顯示畫面中的座標位置。更具體地來說,依據畫素陣列的排列方式,每一畫素組15對應於顯示畫面上的一個局部區域,或者說是一個位置。如前述地,對應於畫素組15涵蓋的畫素數,此局部區域也可以是涵蓋一或多個畫素。此局部區域或位置可以用座標或其他的方式表示。而封包F中可能乘載有關聯於多個畫素組15的顯示資料,換句話說,封包F中可能乘載有多個局部畫面資料。因此,影像起始欄位F2用以指示各畫素組15所對應的局部畫面資料於封包F中所在的位置,各畫素組15的解調器1551可依據所在的位置而自封包F中解調出所對應的局部畫面資料。換句話說,在同時自第二調變信號M2解調出封包F的情況下,藉由影像起始欄位F2,顯示器1中的各畫素組15可以自封包F中取得相應的局部畫面資料而同步更新。在另一實施例中,各畫素組15更接收有時脈信號,以確保在各畫素組15不是同時解調出封包F的情況下也可以同步更新。The initial check field F1 is used to indicate the starting point of the packet F. The image start field F2 is used to indicate the position of the section of the partial screen data in the screen data. The interval position is associated with a coordinate position corresponding to the pixel group of the received packet F in the display screen. More specifically, each pixel group 15 corresponds to a partial area on the display screen, or a position, depending on the arrangement of the pixel arrays. As described above, corresponding to the number of pixels covered by the pixel group 15, the local area may also cover one or more pixels. This local area or location can be represented by coordinates or other means. The packet F may be loaded with display data associated with the plurality of pixel groups 15, in other words, the packet F may be loaded with a plurality of partial picture data. Therefore, the image start field F2 is used to indicate the position of the partial picture data corresponding to each pixel group 15 in the packet F, and the demodulator 1551 of each pixel group 15 can be self-packaged according to the location. The corresponding partial picture data is demodulated. In other words, in the case that the packet F is demodulated from the second modulation signal M2 at the same time, each pixel group 15 in the display 1 can obtain a corresponding partial picture from the packet F by the image start field F2. The data is updated synchronously. In another embodiment, each pixel group 15 receives the time-lapse signal to ensure that the update can be performed synchronously if each pixel group 15 does not simultaneously demodulate the packet F.

驅動欄位F3用以承載驅動畫面資料。在圖6所對應的實施例中,驅動欄位F3更被定義為控制欄位F31與資料欄位F32。控制欄位F31係用以乘載關聯於閘極驅動信號GD的相關資料,資料欄位F32則用以乘載關聯於資料驅動信號DD的相關資料。結束檢查欄位F4則用以指示封包F的結束時點。The drive field F3 is used to carry the drive picture data. In the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 6, the drive field F3 is further defined as the control field F31 and the data field F32. The control field F31 is used to carry the relevant data associated with the gate drive signal GD, and the data field F32 is used to carry the relevant data associated with the data drive signal DD. The end check field F4 is used to indicate the end point of the packet F.

因此,如前述地,信號E3係對應於第一調變信號M1。當解調器1551產生信號E3時,解調器1551相當於取得前述的封包F中的各欄位。因此,在一實施例中,解調器1551直接將信號E3同時做為閘極驅動信號GD與資料驅動信號DD。第一控制器1553與第二控制器1555係分別依據封包F中的各欄位取得所需的資料,以驅動畫素組15。Therefore, as described above, the signal E3 corresponds to the first modulation signal M1. When the demodulator 1551 generates the signal E3, the demodulator 1551 is equivalent to acquiring the fields in the aforementioned packet F. Therefore, in an embodiment, the demodulator 1551 directly uses the signal E3 as the gate drive signal GD and the data drive signal DD. The first controller 1553 and the second controller 1555 respectively obtain the required data according to the fields in the packet F to drive the pixel group 15.

依照上述的發想,本發明提供了一種顯示器的控制方法,適於所述之顯示器。請接著參照圖7以進行說明,圖7係為根據本發明一實施例所繪示之顯示器的控制方法的方法流程圖。如圖7所示,控制方法的步驟S701係先依據輸入信號產生第一調變信號M1。接著於步驟S703中,依據第一調變信號M1控制背光模組13中的其中一背光單元131產生光信號L。並於步驟S705中,對應的光偵測單元153接收背光單元131所產生的光信號L。且於步驟S707中,依據接收到的光信號L產生第二調變信號M2。然後於步驟S709中,依據第二調變信號M2選擇性地控制對應畫素組15的透光率。In accordance with the above, the present invention provides a display control method suitable for the display. Please refer to FIG. 7 for description. FIG. 7 is a flowchart of a method for controlling a display according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 7, step S701 of the control method first generates a first modulation signal M1 according to the input signal. Next, in step S703, one of the backlight units 131 in the backlight module 13 is controlled to generate an optical signal L according to the first modulation signal M1. In step S705, the corresponding light detecting unit 153 receives the light signal L generated by the backlight unit 131. In step S707, the second modulation signal M2 is generated according to the received optical signal L. Then, in step S709, the transmittance of the corresponding pixel group 15 is selectively controlled according to the second modulation signal M2.

此外,在另一實施例中,所述的控制方法更依據第一調變信號M1中的資料封包F 的起始檢查欄位F1取得更新時間區間。起始檢查欄位F1用以指示封包的起點。並依據封包的驅動欄位F3取得畫面資料。且驅動欄位F3用以承載驅動畫面資料,驅動畫面資料關聯於畫素組15。然後於更新時間區間中,依據驅動畫面資料控制對應畫素組15的透光率。In addition, in another embodiment, the control method further obtains an update time interval according to the initial check field F1 of the data packet F in the first modulation signal M1. The initial check field F1 is used to indicate the starting point of the packet. And obtain the picture data according to the drive field F3 of the package. The driving field F3 is used to carry the driving picture data, and the driving picture data is associated with the pixel group 15. Then, in the update time interval, the light transmittance of the corresponding pixel group 15 is controlled according to the driving screen data.

而於另一實施例中,封包更包含影像起始欄位F2,所述的控制方法更依據影像起始欄位F2取得畫面資料中的局部畫面資料。並依據局部驅動畫面資料控制對應畫素組15的透光率。其中,影像起始欄位F2用以指示局部畫面資料於畫面資料中的區間位置,區間位置關聯於對應於收到封包的畫素組15於顯示畫面中的座標位置。In another embodiment, the packet further includes an image start field F2, and the control method further obtains partial picture data in the picture data according to the image start field F2. And controlling the light transmittance of the corresponding pixel group 15 according to the local driving screen data. The image start field F2 is used to indicate the position of the section of the partial screen data in the screen data, and the section position is associated with the coordinate position of the pixel group 15 corresponding to the received packet in the display screen.

於又一實施例中,每一封包的該驅動欄位F3更被定義為控制欄位F31與資料欄位F32。控制方法更包含依據控制欄位F31產生閘極驅動信號GD,並依據資料欄位F32產生源極資料驅動信號DD。In yet another embodiment, the drive field F3 of each package is further defined as a control field F31 and a data field F32. The control method further comprises generating a gate drive signal GD according to the control field F31, and generating a source data drive signal DD according to the data field F32.

綜合以上所述,本發明提供的顯示器及其控制方法在藉由背光模組13提供光源的時候,同時將驅動信號載於背光模組13所提供的光中,以使各畫素單元一對一地由光信號中取得所需的顯示資料。藉此,顯示器得以更進一步地節省下傳統用來設置驅動晶片的面板位置,而得以擴大顯示區,減少週邊寬度,甚至可達到無邊框。另一方面,光通訊傳輸所需要的元件也可以藉由目前的製程設置於玻璃基板上,並不需要增加額外的製程成本。而藉由光通訊來傳輸資料更可避免實體線路造成的等效阻抗,而使相關信號發生延遲或者失真。In summary, the display and the control method thereof provided by the present invention simultaneously provide a driving signal to the light provided by the backlight module 13 when the light source is provided by the backlight module 13 to make a pair of pixel units. The desired display material is obtained from the optical signal. Thereby, the display can further save the position of the panel which is conventionally used to set the driving wafer, thereby expanding the display area, reducing the peripheral width, and even achieving no border. On the other hand, the components required for optical communication transmission can also be placed on the glass substrate by the current process without adding additional process costs. By transmitting data through optical communication, the equivalent impedance caused by the physical line can be avoided, and the related signal is delayed or distorted.
