Description

幀顯示信號同步方法、顯示裝置及資訊處理裝置Frame display signal synchronization method, display device and information processing device

本發明係關於顯示技術之有關領域,尤指應用於包含多個顯示驅動晶片的一顯示裝置之中的一種幀顯示信號同步方法。The present invention relates to the related field of display technology, and more particularly, to a frame display signal synchronization method applied to a display device including a plurality of display driving chips.

發光二極體(Light-emitting diode , LED)具有體積小、重量輕、使用壽命長、發光效率高等多項優點,目前已廣泛地應用於照明裝置及顯示裝置之中。LED顯示裝置為一種自發光平面顯示裝置,具有色彩鮮艷、動態範圍廣、亮度高、壽命長、可靠度高等優點,是以大尺寸螢幕的LED顯示裝置已廣泛地應用於大型廣場、商業廣告、體育場館、信息傳播、新聞發布、證券交易場所,作為一種公眾顯示媒介。Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have many advantages such as small size, light weight, long service life, and high luminous efficiency, and have been widely used in lighting devices and display devices. The LED display device is a self-luminous flat display device, which has the advantages of bright colors, wide dynamic range, high brightness, long life and high reliability. Therefore, the LED display device with large screen has been widely used in large squares, commercial advertisements, Sports venues, information dissemination, news releases, stock exchanges, as a public display medium.

圖1顯示習知的一種大尺寸螢幕之LED顯示裝置的架構圖。如圖1所示,習知的LED顯示裝置1a包括:一LED顯示面板11a、一列驅動單元12a、一行驅動單元13a、以及一顯示控制單元14a,其中該顯示控制單元14a用以控制該列驅動單元12a與該行驅動單元13a之作動。熟悉LED顯示器之設計與製造的電子工程師必然知道,行驅動單元13a通常包括複數個顯示驅動晶片(即,行驅動晶片)131a,原因在於每個顯示驅動晶片131a具有固定數量的驅動通道,因此每個顯示驅動晶片131所能夠驅動的面板區域有限。FIG. 1 shows a structure diagram of a conventional LED display device with a large-size screen. As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional LED display device 1a includes: an LED display panel 11a, a column driving unit 12a, a row driving unit 13a, and a display control unit 14a, wherein the display control unit 14a is used for controlling the column driving The operation of the unit 12a and the row driving unit 13a. Electronic engineers familiar with the design and manufacture of LED displays must know that the row driving unit 13a usually includes a plurality of display driving chips (ie, row driving chips) 131a, because each display driving chip 131a has a fixed number of driving channels, so each display driving chip 131a has a fixed number of driving channels. The area of the panel that each display driver chip 131 can drive is limited.

使用大尺寸螢幕之LED顯示裝置1a進行影像顯示時,顯示控制單元14a依據不同影像顯示需求而控制所有顯示驅動晶片131a以同時點亮LED顯示面板11a的整個顯示區域,或僅控制部分顯示驅動晶片131a以點亮LED顯示面板11a的至少一塊顯示區域。因此,為了滿足不同的顯示驅動需求,如圖1所示,習知技術首先令複數個所述顯示驅動晶片131a相互級聯,且透過將一編號數據和一顯示數據打包成一顯示數據信號的方式,對每個顯示驅動晶片131a進行順序編號,且控制每個顯示驅動晶片131a進行其所屬之顯示驅動工作。When the LED display device 1a with a large screen is used for image display, the display control unit 14a controls all the display driver chips 131a to light up the entire display area of the LED display panel 11a at the same time, or only controls part of the display driver chips according to different image display requirements 131a to light up at least one display area of the LED display panel 11a. Therefore, in order to meet different display driving requirements, as shown in FIG. 1 , in the prior art, a plurality of the display driving chips 131a are firstly cascaded with each other, and a numbered data and a display data are packaged into a display data signal. , serially number each display driving chip 131a, and control each display driving chip 131a to perform the display driving work to which it belongs.

如圖1所示,顯示控制單元14a採用雙線式傳輸協議將一顯示數據信號SDI(1)和一時鐘信號CLK發送給編號(1)的顯示驅動晶片131a,其中所述顯示數據信號SDI(1)包含編號數據和屬於各個顯示驅動晶片131a的顯示數據。在接收顯示數據信號SDI(1)之後,編號(1)的顯示驅動晶片131a對所述顯示數據信號SDI(1)進行編號識別之後,接著接收屬於自己的顯示數據,而後將該顯示數據儲存在內部的移位寄存器,並依據儲存在顯示數據寄存器之中的當前顯示數據進行驅動參數配置,如配置PWM信號。As shown in FIG. 1, the display control unit 14a uses a two-wire transmission protocol to send a display data signal SDI(1) and a clock signal CLK to the display driving chip 131a of number (1), wherein the display data signal SDI(1) 1) Contains number data and display data belonging to each display driver wafer 131a. After receiving the display data signal SDI(1), the display driver chip 131a numbered (1) performs number identification on the display data signal SDI(1), then receives its own display data, and then stores the display data in the Internal shift register, and according to the current display data stored in the display data register to configure the drive parameters, such as configuring the PWM signal.

之後,編號(1)的顯示驅動晶片131a對該顯示數據信號SDI(1)進行再編號處理(例如將原編號數加1)以產生一新的顯示數據信號SDI(2),而後將新的顯示數據信號SDI(2)和該時鐘信號CLK發送給編號(2)的顯示驅動晶片131a。繼續地,編號(2)的顯示驅動晶片131a同樣地對所述新的顯示數據信號SDI(2)進行編號識別之後,接著接收屬於自己的顯示數據,而後完成顯示數據儲存和驅動參數配置之動作。依此類推,直至每個顯示驅動晶片131a都接收屬於自己的顯示數據且完成驅動參數之配置。After that, the display driving chip 131a with the number (1) performs a renumbering process on the display data signal SDI(1) (for example, adding 1 to the original number) to generate a new display data signal SDI(2), and then renumbers the new display data signal SDI(2). The display data signal SDI(2) and the clock signal CLK are sent to the display driving chip 131a of number (2). Continuing, the display driver chip 131a numbered (2) similarly identifies the new display data signal SDI(2) by number, then receives its own display data, and then completes the display data storage and drive parameter configuration actions . And so on, until each display driving chip 131a receives its own display data and completes the configuration of the driving parameters.

圖2顯示與複數個所述顯示驅動晶片131a對應的複數個幀顯示信號的工作時序圖。值得說明的是,在完成驅動參數配置之後,編號(1)的顯示驅動晶片131a生成其一幀顯示信號。同樣地,編號(2)的顯示驅動晶片131a也是在完成驅動參數配置之後才生成其一幀顯示信號。因此,如圖2所示,編號(1)的顯示驅動晶片131a所生成的幀顯示信號之起始位元的脈衝邊沿(上升沿或下降沿)和編號(2)的顯示驅動晶片131a所生成的幀顯示信號之起始位元的脈衝邊沿之間具有一個延遲時間T。依此類推,編號(1)的顯示驅動晶片131a所生成的幀顯示信號之起始位元的脈衝邊沿(上升沿或下降沿)和編號(N)的顯示驅動晶片131a所生成的幀顯示信號之起始位元的脈衝邊沿之間具有延遲時間(N-1)*T。FIG. 2 shows an operation timing diagram of a plurality of frame display signals corresponding to a plurality of the display driving chips 131a. It should be noted that, after completing the configuration of the driving parameters, the display driving wafer 131a numbered (1) generates one frame of display signals. Similarly, the display driving chip 131a of number (2) also generates one frame of display signals after completing the configuration of the driving parameters. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the pulse edge (rising edge or falling edge) of the start bit of the frame display signal generated by the display driving chip 131a of number (1) and the display driving chip 131a of number (2) are generated There is a delay time T between the pulse edges of the start bit of the frame display signal. By analogy, the pulse edge (rising edge or falling edge) of the start bit of the frame display signal generated by the display driver chip 131a of number (1) and the frame display signal generated by the display driver chip 131a of number (N) There is a delay time (N-1)*T between the pulse edges of the start bit.

簡單地說,習知技術利用將顯示驅動晶片131a的編號數據與顯示數據整合在一顯示數據信號SDI之中的方式,從而達成控制各個顯示驅動晶片131a對LED顯示面板11a進行顯示驅動以滿足各式場景的顯示需求。然而,這樣的方式卻會造成各個顯示驅動晶片131a所生成的幀顯示信號無法同步。To put it simply, the prior art utilizes the method of integrating the serial number data of the display driver chips 131a and the display data into a display data signal SDI, so as to control each display driver chip 131a to display and drive the LED display panel 11a to meet the requirements of each display driver chip 131a. display requirements of the scene. However, in this way, the frame display signals generated by the display driving chips 131a cannot be synchronized.

簡單地說,圖3所示L個所述顯示驅動晶片131基本上會執行(A)編號識別、(B)數據接收、(C)再編號處理、以及(D)顯示驅動這四個動作。在步驟S1和步驟S2之中,各個所述顯示驅動晶片131即執行編號識別和數據接收的動作。並且,在步驟S3之中,各個所述顯示驅動晶片131即對顯示數據信號執行一再編號處理以產生一新的顯示數據信號,接著將所述新的顯示數據信號傳送至與其級聯的一後級顯示驅動晶片131。To put it simply, the L display driving chips 131 shown in FIG. 3 basically perform four operations: (A) number recognition, (B) data reception, (C) renumbering processing, and (D) display driving. In step S1 and step S2, each of the display driving chips 131 executes the operations of number recognition and data reception. In addition, in step S3, each of the display driving chips 131 performs a numbering process on the display data signal to generate a new display data signal, and then transmits the new display data signal to a cascaded one after the display data signal. level display driver wafer 131 .

舉例而言,為了依據影像顯示需求而同時點亮顯示面板11的全部顯示區域,顯示控制單元14選用N=L個顯示驅動晶片131用以執行該顯示面板11的顯示驅動工作。在此應用情況下,於接收由該顯示控制單元14所傳送的顯示數據信號SDI(1)之後,第一個顯示驅動晶片131對所述顯示數據信號SDI(1)進行編號識別之後,接著接收屬於自己的顯示數據,而後將該顯示數據儲存在內部的移位寄存器,同時依據儲存在顯示數據寄存器之中的當前顯示數據進行驅動參數配置,如配置PWM信號。應可理解,在此應用情況下,第M個的顯示驅動晶片131的順序編號為1(即,k=1)。For example, in order to simultaneously light up all the display areas of the display panel 11 according to the image display requirements, the display control unit 14 selects N=L display driving chips 131 to perform the display driving work of the display panel 11 . In this application, after receiving the display data signal SDI(1) transmitted by the display control unit 14, the first display driver chip 131 performs number identification on the display data signal SDI(1), and then receives the display data signal SDI(1). The display data belongs to its own, and then the display data is stored in the internal shift register, and the drive parameter configuration is performed according to the current display data stored in the display data register, such as configuring the PWM signal. It should be understood that in this application, the sequence number of the M-th display driving chip 131 is 1 (ie, k=1).

之後,第一個(即,編號1)的顯示驅動晶片131對該顯示數據信號SDI(1)進行再編號處理以產生一新的顯示數據信號SDI(2),而後將新的顯示數據信號SDI(2)和該時鐘信號CLK發送給編號(2)的顯示驅動晶片131。例如,第一個顯示驅動晶片131之順序編號為1,則第二個顯示驅動晶片131所執行之再編號處理即為將其順序編號進行加1操作。可以理解,第二個顯示驅動晶片131對所述新的顯示數據信號SDI(2)進行編號識別之後,會識別出其所屬之順序編號(即,k=2)。接著, 第一個(即,編號2)的顯示驅動晶片131由新的顯示數據信號SDI(2)之中接收屬於自己的顯示數據,而後完成顯示數據和驅動參數之配置動作。依此類推,直至每個顯示驅動晶片131都接收屬於自己的顯示數據且完成驅動參數之配置動作。Afterwards, the display driving chip 131 of the first (ie, number 1) renumbers the display data signal SDI(1) to generate a new display data signal SDI(2), and then renumbers the new display data signal SDI(2). (2) and the clock signal CLK is sent to the display driving chip 131 of number (2). For example, if the sequence number of the first display driver chip 131 is 1, the renumbering process performed by the second display driver chip 131 is to increment its sequence number by 1. It can be understood that after the second display driving chip 131 identifies the new display data signal SDI( 2 ) by number, it will identify the sequence number (ie, k=2) to which it belongs. Next, the display driver chip 131 of the first (ie, number 2) receives its own display data from the new display data signal SDI(2), and then completes the configuration of the display data and driving parameters. And so on, until each display driving chip 131 receives its own display data and completes the configuration of the driving parameters.

特別地,執行步驟S4(即,執行顯示驅動)之時,各個所述顯示驅動晶片131於完成所述顯示數據的接收之後,係接著等待(N-k)個延遲時間經過後生成一幀顯示信號;其中,k為各個顯示驅動晶片所屬之一順序編號,且k≧1。舉例而言,若該行驅動單元13只包含二個相互級聯的顯示驅動晶片131(即,N=2),為了同時點亮該顯示面板11的全部顯示區域,第一個顯示驅動晶片131和第二個顯示驅動晶片131會被指定順序編號分別為1、2。進一步地,依據儲存在顯示數據寄存器之中的當前顯示數據而完成驅動參數配置之後,編號1的顯示驅動晶片131在等待N-k=2-1=1個延遲時間經過之後,生成一幀顯示信號。並且,完成驅動參數配置之後,編號2的顯示驅動晶片131等待N-k=2-2=0個延遲時間經過之後,生成一幀顯示信號。換句話說,編號2的顯示驅動晶片131在完成驅動參數配置之後便立即拉起幀顯示信號。In particular, when performing step S4 (that is, performing display driving), each of the display driving chips 131 then waits for (N-k) delay times to elapse after completing the reception of the display data to generate a frame of display signal; Wherein, k is a sequential number to which each display driver chip belongs, and k≧1. For example, if the row driving unit 13 only includes two display driving chips 131 cascaded with each other (ie, N=2), in order to light up the entire display area of the display panel 11 at the same time, the first display driving chip 131 and the second display driver chip 131 are assigned sequence numbers 1 and 2, respectively. Further, after completing the driving parameter configuration according to the current display data stored in the display data register, the display driving chip 131 numbered 1 generates a frame of display signals after waiting for N-k=2-1=1 delay times to elapse. In addition, after completing the configuration of the driving parameters, the display driving wafer 131 of No. 2 generates a frame of display signals after waiting for the elapse of N-k=2-2=0 delay times. In other words, the display driver chip 131 of No. 2 pulls up the frame display signal immediately after completing the configuration of the driving parameters.

在另一示範性實施例中,若該行驅動單元13包含三個相互級聯的顯示驅動晶片131(即,L=3),為了同時點亮該顯示面板11的全部顯示區域,第一個至第三個顯示驅動晶片131和第二個顯示驅動晶片131會被指定順序編號分別為1、2、3。之後,編號1的顯示驅動晶片131依據儲存在顯示數據寄存器之中的當前顯示數據而完成驅動參數配置,接著等待N-k=3-1=2個延遲時間經過之後,生成一幀顯示信號。並且,編號2的顯示驅動晶片131等待N-k=3-2=1個延遲時間經過之後,生成一幀顯示信號。再者,編號3的顯示驅動晶片131等待N-k=3-3=0個延遲時間經過之後,生成一幀顯示信號。換句話說,編號3的顯示驅動晶片131在完成驅動參數配置之後便立即拉起幀顯示信號。In another exemplary embodiment, if the row driving unit 13 includes three display driving chips 131 cascaded with each other (ie, L=3), in order to light up the entire display area of the display panel 11 at the same time, the first one The third display driver chip 131 and the second display driver chip 131 are assigned sequence numbers 1, 2, and 3, respectively. Afterwards, the display driver chip 131 numbered 1 completes the drive parameter configuration according to the current display data stored in the display data register, and then waits for N-k=3-1=2 delay times to elapse to generate a frame of display signals. In addition, the display driving chip 131 of No. 2 waits for the elapse of N-k=3-2=1 delay time, and then generates a display signal of one frame. Furthermore, the display driving chip 131 of No. 3 generates one frame of display signals after waiting for the elapse of N-k=3-3=0 delay times. In other words, the display driver chip 131 No. 3 pulls up the frame display signal immediately after completing the configuration of the driving parameters.

在又一示範性實施例中,若該行驅動單元13只包含單個顯示驅動晶片131(即,L=1),為了同時點亮該顯示面板11的全部顯示區域,此顯示驅動晶片131的順序編號自然為1。之後,編號1的顯示驅動晶片131依據儲存在顯示數據寄存器之中的當前顯示數據而完成驅動參數配置,接著等待N-k=1-1=0個延遲時間經過之後,生成一幀顯示信號。In yet another exemplary embodiment, if the row driving unit 13 only includes a single display driving chip 131 (ie, L=1), in order to simultaneously light up the entire display area of the display panel 11, the sequence of the display driving chips 131 The number is naturally 1. Afterwards, the display driver chip 131 numbered 1 completes the drive parameter configuration according to the current display data stored in the display data register, and then waits for the elapse of N-k=1-1=0 delay times to generate a frame of display signals.

故而,在應用本發明之幀顯示信號同步方法的情況下,該顯示控制單元14係能採用雙線式傳輸協議(SDI+CLK)控制L個顯示驅動晶片131同步生成L個幀顯示信號,從而依據不同影像顯示需求而同時點亮顯示面板11的整個顯示區域,使該顯示裝置1提供高品質的影像顯示。Therefore, when the frame display signal synchronization method of the present invention is applied, the display control unit 14 can use the two-wire transmission protocol (SDI+CLK) to control the L display driving chips 131 to synchronously generate L frame display signals, thereby The entire display area of the display panel 11 is simultaneously illuminated according to different image display requirements, so that the display device 1 can provide high-quality image display.

圖5顯示應用本發明之幀顯示信號同步方法的L個所述顯示驅動晶片131與一顯示面板的方塊圖。當然,在應用本發明之幀顯示信號同步方法的情況下,該顯示控制單元14係能採用雙線式傳輸協議(SDI+CLK)控制所有L個顯示驅動晶片131之中的N個以同步生成N個幀顯示信號,從而依據影像顯示需求而僅點亮顯示面板11的至少一塊顯示區域。例如,控制第M個、第M+1個以即第M+2個顯示驅動晶片131以同步生成三個幀顯示信號(即,N=3),從而對該顯示面板11進行顯示驅動,以點亮至少一塊顯示區域。FIG. 5 shows a block diagram of the L display driving chips 131 and a display panel applying the frame display signal synchronization method of the present invention. Of course, in the case of applying the frame display signal synchronization method of the present invention, the display control unit 14 can use the two-wire transmission protocol (SDI+CLK) to control N among all the L display driving chips 131 to generate synchronization Signals are displayed in N frames, so that only at least one display area of the display panel 11 is illuminated according to the image display requirement. For example, the M-th, M+1-th, or M+2-th display driving chips 131 are controlled to synchronously generate three frame display signals (ie, N=3), so as to display and drive the display panel 11 to Lights up at least one display area.

值得注意的是,如圖5所示,由於第1個至第M-1個顯示驅動晶片131沒有被選用以執行顯示驅動之工作,因此這些顯示驅動晶片131不會執行編號識別、顯示數據接收、再編號處理、以及顯示驅動這四個動作。It is worth noting that, as shown in FIG. 5 , since the first to M-1 th display driver chips 131 are not selected to perform the display driving work, these display driver chips 131 will not perform number identification and display data reception. , renumbering processing, and display driving.

承上述說明,第M個顯示驅動晶片131自第M-1個顯示驅動晶片131接收顯示數據信號SDI(1)。在對該顯示數據信號SDI(1)進行編號識別之後,第M個的顯示驅動晶片131接收屬於自己的顯示數據,而後將該顯示數據儲存在內部的移位寄存器,同時依據儲存在顯示數據寄存器之中的當前顯示數據進行驅動參數配置,如配置PWM信號。應可理解,在此應用情況下,第M個的顯示驅動晶片131的順序編號為1。According to the above description, the M th display driving chip 131 receives the display data signal SDI( 1 ) from the M-1 th display driving chip 131 . After identifying the display data signal SDI( 1 ) by number, the M-th display driver chip 131 receives its own display data, and then stores the display data in the internal shift register. The current display data among them is used to configure the drive parameters, such as configuring the PWM signal. It should be understood that in this application, the sequence number of the M-th display driving chip 131 is 1.

之後,第M個(即,編號1)顯示驅動晶片131對該顯示數據信號SDI(1)進行再編號處理以產生一新的顯示數據信號SDI(2),而後將新的顯示數據信號SDI(2)和該時鐘信號CLK發送給第M+1個顯示驅動晶片131。也就是說,第M個的顯示驅動晶片131之順序編號為1,而第M+1個的顯示驅動晶片131之順序編號為2。接著,第M+1個(即,編號2)的顯示驅動晶片131對所述新的顯示數據信號SDI(2)進行編號識別之後,會識別出其所屬之順序編號,而後由新的顯示數據信號SDI(2)之中接收屬於自己的顯示數據,最終後完成顯示數據儲存和驅動參數配置。依此類推,直至第M個、第M+1個以及第M+2個這三個顯示驅動晶片131都接收屬於自己的顯示數據且完成驅動參數之配置。After that, the M-th (ie, number 1) display driving chip 131 renumbers the display data signal SDI( 1 ) to generate a new display data signal SDI( 2 ), and then converts the new display data signal SDI( 2) and the clock signal CLK is sent to the M+1 th display driving chip 131 . That is, the sequence number of the M-th display driving chip 131 is 1, and the sequence number of the M+1-th display driving chip 131 is 2. Next, after the display driving chip 131 of the M+1 th (ie, number 2 ) performs number recognition on the new display data signal SDI( 2 ), it will recognize the sequence number to which it belongs, and then the new display data signal SDI( 2 ) The signal SDI(2) receives its own display data, and finally completes the display data storage and drive parameter configuration. By analogy, until the Mth, M+1th, and M+2th display driving chips 131 all receive their own display data and complete the configuration of the driving parameters.

接著,依據儲存在顯示數據寄存器之中的當前顯示數據而完成驅動參數配置之後,編號1(即,第M個)顯示驅動晶片131等待N-k=3-1=2個延遲時間經過之後,生成一幀顯示信號。並且,編號2(即,第M+1個)的顯示驅動晶片131等待N-k=3-2=1個延遲時間經過之後,生成一幀顯示信號。再者,編號3(即,第M+2個)的顯示驅動晶片131等待N-k=3-3=0個延遲時間經過之後,生成一幀顯示信號。換句話說,第M+2個顯示驅動晶片131在完成驅動參數配置之後便立即拉起幀顯示信號。Next, after completing the driving parameter configuration according to the current display data stored in the display data register, the display driving chip 131 numbered 1 (ie, the Mth) waits for the elapse of N-k=3-1=2 delay times, and generates a frame display signal. And, the display driving chip 131 with the number 2 (ie, the M+1 th) waits for the elapse of N-k=3-2=1 delay time, and then generates a display signal of one frame. Furthermore, the display driving chip 131 with the number 3 (ie, the M+2 th) waits for the elapse of N-k=3-3=0 delay times, and then generates one frame of display signals. In other words, the M+2 th display driving chip 131 pulls up the frame display signal immediately after completing the driving parameter configuration.

亦即,本發明之幀顯示信號同步方法可用以使成級聯之複數個顯示驅動晶片驅動一顯示面板以顯示由至少一子畫面構成之一畫面,且其特徵在於包括:以級聯的方式將所述至少一子畫面的顯示資料自該些顯示驅動晶片中之第一個顯示驅動晶片往後傳遞,其中,各所述子畫面的所述顯示資料中均附加有一編號,且該些顯示驅動晶片中與至少一所述編號匹配的至少一對應的顯示驅動晶片係各依與其匹配的一所述編號讀取一所述子畫面的所述顯示資料;以及所述至少一對應的顯示驅動晶片各依與其對應之一所述編號延遲一對應的時間以使所述至少一對應的顯示驅動晶片同步驅動該顯示面板以同步顯示所述至少一子畫面。 That is, the frame display signal synchronization method of the present invention can be used for a plurality of display driving chips in cascade to drive a display panel to display a picture composed of at least one sub-picture, and is characterized by comprising: in a cascaded manner The display data of the at least one sub-picture is transmitted from the first display-driving chip of the display-driving chips, wherein a number is attached to the display data of each of the sub-pictures, and the display At least one corresponding display driver chip in the driver chip that matches at least one of the numbers reads the display data of one of the sub-pictures according to the corresponding one of the numbers; and the at least one corresponding display driver The chips are each delayed by a corresponding time according to one of the corresponding numbers, so that the at least one corresponding display driving chip drives the display panel synchronously to display the at least one sub-picture synchronously.
