Description

显示装置、显示系统 技术领域
本申请涉及显示领域,尤其涉及一种显示装置、显示系统。
背景技术
一般液晶显示装置主要包括设置在液晶面板(Panel)上的源驱动电路、栅驱动电路,水平方向电路板(X-board,简称XB板),设置在系统板或主板(MB)上的系统级芯片(Sygtem On Chip,简称SOC)、时序控制器(Timing Control,简称TCON),通常通过柔性扁平电缆(Flexible Flat Cable,简称FFC)米连接模块主板(MB板)和水平方向电路板(XB板),以进行二者之间的信号传输,其中,系统级芯片接收待传输图像数据信号,并将所述待传输图像数据信号输出,随后将输入信号经过行扩展模块和列扩展模块进行处理,将处理后的数据传送给时序控制器,时序控制器将接收到的数据通过水平方向电路板传输至源驱动电路和栅驱动电路,从而驱动面板进行显示。
随着各个液晶面板厂产能释放,大尺寸液晶面板竞争激烈,价格下行压力大。大尺寸电视整机厂商为降低成本,逐渐由Normal型液晶面板(包含控制板(CB)的设计)转为采用TCONLESS型液晶面板。TCONLESS型液晶面板相关技术中TCON全部或部分功能由系统板(MB板)上的系统级芯片(SOC)实现,MB板上SOC增加TCON功能后其面积可以保持不变。
现行P2P(point-to-point)协议种类较多,如ISP(Integrated-Stream Protocol)、USI-T(Unified Standard Interface for TV)、CHPI(China BOE Point-to-Point Interface)、CSPI(China Star Point-to-Point Interfaoe)、CMPI(Clock Embedded Point-to-Point Interface)、CEDS(Clock Embedded Differential Signal)等,应用于不同的面板厂商,使用不同的P2P协议,图像数据格式和TX(Transmit)与RX(Receive)间的training方式都会不同,这会导致不同的源驱动器(Source Driver,简称S/D)所支持的P2P协议不尽相同,则系统板需要根据不同P2P协议做出不同设计,系统板通用性差。
另外,如图1所示,现行Normal型液晶面板的面板结构设计中的资料(数据)传输路径为:SOC→CB→XB→panel,其中,SOC与CB上的TCON IC通过VBYONE(V-by-One或VBO)协议传输液晶面板控制资料和数据资料,TCON IC将接收到的资料转为mini-LVDS格式传输给XB,同时,TCON IC还包括白平衡(ACC)、过压驱动(OD)、消除面板显示不均(Demura)等光学调整功能;而TCON-less设计的资料传输路径SOC→XB→panel,其中,SOC与XB通过P2P接口协议传输液晶面板控制资料和数据资料。
现行Normal(XB+CB)架构的,光学调整功能需要由TCON IC来完成,CB成本较高;而现行TCON-less架构的S/D需搭配使用P2P接口,较mini-LVDS接口的S/D,制造和测试成本增加:因无TCON,Panel Timing(时序)由SOC产生,Panel Timing调试和改版需要SOC来配合,SOC改版困难周期长,且成本高:不利于Panel新技术发展;COF(Chip-On-Film,覆晶薄膜)机种与GOA(Gate on Array)机种的面板所需时序信号不同,SOC兼容性差;不同面板的GOA电路设计不同,所需时序信号亦存在差异,SOC兼容性差。
