Description

具多通道数据传输界面的平面显示器及其影像传输方法Flat panel display with multi-channel data transmission interface and image transmission method thereof

技术领域 technical field

本发明是有关于一种平面显示器及其影像传输方法,且特别是有关于一种具多通道数据传输界面的平面显示器及其影像传输方法。The present invention relates to a flat display and its image transmission method, and in particular to a flat display with a multi-channel data transmission interface and its image transmission method.

背景技术 Background technique

自公元1888年奥地利植物学者F.Reinitzer发现液晶迄今,液晶逐渐广泛地应用在人们的日常生活中,例如为数码相机、电脑荧屏、电视等。由于液晶分子的反应速度较慢,一般是以各种补偿技术对平面显示器进行补偿。Since the Austrian botanist F. Reinitzer discovered liquid crystals in 1888, liquid crystals have been widely used in people's daily life, such as digital cameras, computer screens, and televisions. Due to the slow reaction speed of liquid crystal molecules, various compensation techniques are generally used to compensate the flat panel display.

请参照图1,其绘示为传统平面显示器的方块图。传统平面显示器10包括影像处理电路110及显示器模块120。影像处理电路110包括解码器112、缩放器(Scaler)114、第一存储控制器116、第一存储器117及传送器118。解码器112与缩放器114电性连接。缩放器114分别与传送器118及第一存储控制器116电性连接。第一存储控制器116与第一存储器117电性连接。Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a block diagram of a conventional flat panel display. The conventional flat panel display 10 includes an image processing circuit 110 and a display module 120 . The image processing circuit 110 includes a decoder 112 , a scaler (Scaler) 114 , a first memory controller 116 , a first memory 117 and a transmitter 118 . The decoder 112 is electrically connected to the scaler 114 . The scaler 114 is electrically connected to the transmitter 118 and the first storage controller 116 respectively. The first storage controller 116 is electrically connected to the first storage 117 .

显示器模块120包括影像驱动电路130、第二存储器140、数据驱动器150、显示面板160及扫描驱动器170。影像驱动电路130包括第二存储控制器132、接收134、补偿驱动单元138及时序控制136。接收器134分别与第二存储控制器132及补偿驱动单元138电性连接。第二存储控制器132分别与第二存储器140及补偿驱动单元138电性连接。补偿驱动单元138与时序控制单元136电性连接。时序控制单元136分别与扫描驱动器170与数据驱动器150电性连接。显示面板160分别与数据驱动器150及扫描驱动器170电性连接。The display module 120 includes an image driving circuit 130 , a second memory 140 , a data driver 150 , a display panel 160 and a scan driver 170 . The image driving circuit 130 includes a second storage controller 132 , a receiver 134 , a compensation driving unit 138 and a timing control 136 . The receiver 134 is electrically connected to the second storage controller 132 and the compensating driving unit 138 respectively. The second storage controller 132 is electrically connected to the second storage 140 and the compensation driving unit 138 respectively. The compensation driving unit 138 is electrically connected to the timing control unit 136 . The timing control unit 136 is electrically connected to the scan driver 170 and the data driver 150 respectively. The display panel 160 is electrically connected to the data driver 150 and the scan driver 170 respectively.

显示器模块120的接收器134与影像处理电路110的传送器118连接,其二者之间为一数据传输界面例如为串列式低电压差动信号(Low VoltageDifferential Signaling,LVDS)传输界面。影像处理电路110借由串列式低电压差动信号传输界面以传输画面至显示器模块120。The receiver 134 of the display module 120 is connected to the transmitter 118 of the image processing circuit 110 , and there is a data transmission interface such as a serial low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) transmission interface between them. The image processing circuit 110 transmits images to the display module 120 through the serial low voltage differential signal transmission interface.

进一步来说,解码器112经由S端子或AV端子等接收外部的影像信号,将其解码后产生影像数据D,缩放器114根据影像数据D依序产生多数个画面的影像数据。当缩放器114产生第n-1个画面的影像数据F(n-1),第一存储控制器116将第n-1个画面的影像数据F(n-1)储存于第一存储器117中,并且传送器118将第n-1个画面的影像数据F(n-1)传送至接收器134。第二存储控制器132亦将第n-1个画面的影像数据F(n-1)存于第二存储器140中。Furthermore, the decoder 112 receives an external video signal through the S terminal or the AV terminal, etc., decodes it to generate video data D, and the scaler 114 sequentially generates multiple frames of video data according to the video data D. When the scaler 114 generates the image data F(n-1) of the n-1th frame, the first storage controller 116 stores the image data F(n-1) of the n-1th frame in the first memory 117 , and the transmitter 118 transmits the image data F(n−1) of the n−1th frame to the receiver 134 . The second memory controller 132 also stores the image data F(n−1) of the n−1th frame in the second memory 140 .

之后,当缩放器114产生第n个画面的影像数据,第一存储控制器116将第n个画面的影像数据F(n)储存于第一存储器117中,并且传送器118将第n个画面的影像数据F(n)传送至接收134。Afterwards, when the scaler 114 generates the image data of the nth frame, the first storage controller 116 stores the image data F(n) of the nth frame in the first memory 117, and the transmitter 118 sends the nth frame The image data F(n) of is sent to the receiver 134 .

补偿驱动单元138从第二存储控制器132接收第二存储器140中前次的第n-1个画面的影像数据F(n-1),并从接收器134接收目前的第n个画面的影像数据F(n),据以输出补偿驱动数据C至时序控制单元136。时序控制单元136依据时序输出补偿驱动数据C至数据驱动器150,及输出扫描启动信号S至扫描驱动器170。数据驱动器150接收补偿驱动数据C,并据以输出驱动电压CV至显示面板160,而扫描驱动器170接收扫描启动信号S以依序控制显示面板160上各列像素。The compensation driving unit 138 receives the image data F(n-1) of the previous n-1th frame in the second memory 140 from the second storage controller 132, and receives the image of the current n-th frame from the receiver 134 The data F(n) is used to output the compensation driving data C to the timing control unit 136 . The timing control unit 136 outputs the compensation driving data C to the data driver 150 according to the timing, and outputs the scan start signal S to the scan driver 170 . The data driver 150 receives the compensation driving data C, and outputs the driving voltage CV to the display panel 160 accordingly, and the scan driver 170 receives the scan start signal S to sequentially control each row of pixels on the display panel 160 .

然而,为了使补偿驱动单元138能根据前次画面及目前画面而得出适当的过度驱动控制信号,平面显示器10需具有第二存储器140配置于显示器模块120中,以储存前次画面的影像数据,同时也需特别将第二存储控制器130配置在影像驱动电路130中,以控制第二存储器140存取数据。把第二存储器140配置于显示器模块120中,不但增加生产成本,也使得显示器模块120中的印刷电路板面积相对增加。此外把第二存储控制器130配置在影像驱动电路130中,将使影像驱动电路130需要相对设计较多的接脚数目,而无法将影像驱动电路130的封装外壳有效地缩小。However, in order to enable the compensation drive unit 138 to obtain an appropriate overdrive control signal according to the previous frame and the current frame, the flat panel display 10 needs to have a second memory 140 configured in the display module 120 to store the image data of the previous frame At the same time, the second memory controller 130 needs to be specially configured in the image driving circuit 130 to control the second memory 140 to access data. Disposing the second memory 140 in the display module 120 not only increases the production cost, but also increases the area of the printed circuit board in the display module 120 relatively. In addition, disposing the second memory controller 130 in the image driving circuit 130 will require a relatively large number of pins for the image driving circuit 130 , and the package of the image driving circuit 130 cannot be effectively reduced.
