Description
本發明是有關於一種顯示裝置,且特別是有關於一種可避免信號衝突問題的顯示裝置。The present invention relates to a display device, and more particularly to a display device that avoids signal collision problems.
基於積體電路製程的進步與製造成本的壓力,大尺寸液晶顯示器所使用之驅動晶片、時序控制器以及電源管理晶片則朝向整合式設計的方向進行。在整合式的顯示裝置中,其根據驅動電路間的連接架構大致分為串列(series)式與多級(multi-drop)式。Based on advances in integrated circuit processes and manufacturing cost pressures, drive wafers, timing controllers, and power management wafers used in large-size liquid crystal displays are moving toward integrated design. In the integrated display device, it is roughly classified into a series type and a multi-drop type according to a connection structure between drive circuits.
在串列式的整合顯示裝置中,驅動電路會呈現串聯,因此影像來源可對應於液晶顯示器中的一個驅動電路傳送信號及資料,亦即影像來源所對應的線路與傳統非整合式的顯示裝置類似。但是,為了使資料及信號能夠在驅動電路間傳遞,兩相鄰驅動電路之間會配置傳輸介面,以致於增加顯示裝置的製造成本以及整體的功率消耗。In the tandem integrated display device, the driving circuit is presented in series, so the image source can correspond to a driving circuit in the liquid crystal display to transmit signals and data, that is, the line corresponding to the image source and the traditional non-integrated display device. similar. However, in order to enable data and signals to be transmitted between the driving circuits, a transmission interface is disposed between the two adjacent driving circuits, so that the manufacturing cost of the display device and the overall power consumption are increased.
在多級式的整合顯示裝置中,各驅動電路分別與影像來源電性連接,因此提供一種較簡單的架構來傳遞資料及信號,以降低顯示裝置的硬體成本。但是,由於線路阻抗的差異,多級式架構容易造成資料及信號的失真,並且在對應到如顯示埠(Display Port)規格或內嵌式顯示埠(Embedded Display Port,eDP)規格等需要支援雙向傳輸的協定時,由於各驅動電路獨自運作,因此在影像來源與各驅動電路溝通時,可能會有信號衝突的問題,以致於影像來源無法確認或誤認顯示裝置的狀態,進而可能使顯示裝置的顯示異常。In the multi-level integrated display device, each driving circuit is electrically connected to the image source, thereby providing a simpler structure for transmitting data and signals to reduce the hardware cost of the display device. However, due to the difference in line impedance, the multi-stage architecture is prone to distortion of data and signals, and needs to support bidirectional in response to display port specifications or embedded display port (eDP) specifications. In the transmission protocol, since each driving circuit operates alone, when the image source communicates with each driving circuit, there may be a problem of signal collision, so that the image source cannot confirm or misidentify the state of the display device, and thus may cause the display device to Display Error.
本發明提供一種顯示裝置,其第一驅動電路在第一驅動電路及第二驅動電路為接收就緒狀態時設置接收就緒旗標,而影像來源透過接收就緒旗標得知顯示裝置的狀態,藉以避免信號衝突的問題。The present invention provides a display device in which a first driving circuit sets a receiving ready flag when the first driving circuit and the second driving circuit are in a ready state, and the image source knows the state of the display device by receiving a ready flag to avoid Signal conflicts.

The first data receiver 224 is electrically connected to the image source 10 and the first timing controller TC1. The flag setting unit 228 is electrically connected to the first data receiver 224, the second data receiver 234 of the second driving circuit 230, and the receiving ready flag RF. The first control unit 226 is electrically connected to the memory unit 240, the first data receiver 224, the second control unit 236 of the second driving circuit 230, and the reception ready flag RF. The first timing controller TC1 is electrically connected to the first source driver SD1. The first source driver SD1 is electrically connected to the display panel 210.

The second data receiver 234 is electrically connected to the image source 10 and the second timing controller TC2. The second source driver SD2 is electrically connected to the display panel 210.
在本實施例中,當顯示裝置200開機時,第一控制單元226可自記憶單元240取得接收設定資料D_tn,以依據接收設定資料D_tn設定第一資料接收器224的接收介面參數(例如終端阻抗值)。並且,第一控制單元226會將接收設定資料D_tn傳送至第二驅動電路230,而第二控制單元236依據接收設定資料D_tn設定接收第二資料接收器234的介面參數(例如終端阻抗值)。In the embodiment, when the display device 200 is powered on, the first control unit 226 can obtain the receiving setting data D_tn from the memory unit 240 to set the receiving interface parameter of the first data receiver 224 according to the receiving setting data D_tn (for example, the terminal impedance). value). Moreover, the first control unit 226 transmits the received setting data D_tn to the second driving circuit 230, and the second control unit 236 sets the interface parameter (for example, the terminal impedance value) of the second data receiver 234 according to the received setting data D_tn.
當顯示裝置20電性連接影像來源10時,第一驅動電路220的第一控制單元226將自記憶單元240所取得的延伸顯示辨識資料(EDID)D_edid,並將延伸顯示辨識資料D_edid透過第一指令接收器222傳送至影像來源10。接著,影像來源10可依據延伸顯示辨識資料D_edid輸出連接訓練指令S_trn。此時,第一指令接收器222及第二指令接收器232會透過指令線路260接收來自影像來源10的連接訓練指令S_trn,並將連接訓練指令S_trn分別傳輸至第一控制單元226及第二控制單元236。並且,第一指令接收器222將接收就緒旗標RF的狀態傳送至影像來源10。接著,第一控制單元226依據連接訓練指令S_trn設定第一資料接收器224的資料接收參數,第一控制單元236依據連接訓練指令S_trn設定第二資料接收器234的資料接收參數(例如資料傳輸速率及資料通道數)。When the display device 20 is electrically connected to the image source 10, the first control unit 226 of the first driving circuit 220 passes the extended display identification data (EDID) D_edid obtained from the memory unit 240, and transmits the extended display identification data D_edid through the first The command receiver 222 transmits to the image source 10. Then, the image source 10 can output the connection training instruction S_trn according to the extended display identification data D_edid. At this time, the first command receiver 222 and the second command receiver 232 receive the connection training command S_trn from the image source 10 through the command line 260, and transmit the connection training command S_trn to the first control unit 226 and the second control, respectively. Unit 236. And, the first command receiver 222 transmits the state of receiving the ready flag RF to the image source 10. Next, the first control unit 226 sets the data receiving parameter of the first data receiver 224 according to the connection training instruction S_trn, and the first control unit 236 sets the data receiving parameter of the second data receiver 234 according to the connection training instruction S_trn (for example, the data transmission rate) And the number of data channels).
在影像來源10輸出連接訓練指令S_trn後,影像來源10會輸出連接訓練資料D_trn,此時第一資料接收器224及第二資料接收器234會經由資料線路250接收來自影像來源10的連接訓練資料D_trn。當第一資料接收器224為接收就緒狀態時,亦即第一資料接收器224可正確接收連接訓練資料D_trn,第一資料接收器224輸出第一接收就緒信號S_mset。當第二資料接收器234為接收就緒狀態時,亦即第二資料接收器234可正確接收連接訓練資料D_trn,第二資料接收器234輸出第二接收就緒信號S_sset。After the image source 10 outputs the connection training command S_trn, the image source 10 outputs the connection training data D_trn, and the first data receiver 224 and the second data receiver 234 receive the connection training data from the image source 10 via the data line 250. D_trn. When the first data receiver 224 is in the receive ready state, that is, the first data receiver 224 can correctly receive the connection training data D_trn, the first data receiver 224 outputs the first reception ready signal S_mset. When the second data receiver 234 is in the receive ready state, that is, the second data receiver 234 can correctly receive the connection training data D_trn, the second data receiver 234 outputs the second reception ready signal S_sset.
在旗標設置單元228接收到第一接收就緒信號S_mset及第二接收就緒信號S_sset後,旗標設置單元228則依據第一接收就緒信號S_mset及第二接收就緒信號S_sset設置接收就緒旗標RF,其中第一接收就緒信號S_sset為指示第一資料接收器224(等同於第二驅動電路220)為接收就緒狀態的信號,第二接收就緒信號S_sset為指示第二資料接收器234(等同於第二驅動電路230)為接收就緒狀態的信號。After the flag setting unit 228 receives the first receiving ready signal S_mset and the second receiving ready signal S_sset, the flag setting unit 228 sets the receiving ready flag RF according to the first receiving ready signal S_mset and the second receiving ready signal S_sset. The first receiving ready signal S_sset is a signal indicating that the first data receiver 224 (equivalent to the second driving circuit 220) is in the receiving ready state, and the second receiving ready signal S_sset is indicating the second data receiver 234 (equivalent to the second The drive circuit 230) is a signal that receives the ready state.
在接收就緒旗標RF被設置後,影像來源10會輸出視訊資料D_V。第一資料接收器224及第二資料接收器234經由資料線路250分別接收對應的視訊資料D_V。第一資料接收器224將對應的視訊資料D_V轉換為第一顯示資料D_M後傳輸至第一時序控制器TC1,以使第一時序控制器TC1依據第一顯示資料D_M控制第一源極驅動器SD2而驅動顯示面板210。第一資料接收器224將對應的視訊資料D_V轉換為第二顯示資料D_S後傳輸至第二時序控制器TC2,以使第二時序控制器TC2依據第二顯示資料D_S控制第二源極驅動器SD2而驅動顯示面板210。After the reception ready flag RF is set, the image source 10 outputs the video data D_V. The first data receiver 224 and the second data receiver 234 respectively receive the corresponding video data D_V via the data line 250. The first data receiver 224 converts the corresponding video data D_V into the first display data D_M and transmits it to the first timing controller TC1, so that the first timing controller TC1 controls the first source according to the first display data D_M. The display panel 210 is driven by the driver SD2. The first data receiver 224 converts the corresponding video data D_V into the second display data D_S and transmits it to the second timing controller TC2, so that the second timing controller TC2 controls the second source driver SD2 according to the second display data D_S. The display panel 210 is driven.
在本發明的實施例中,接收就緒旗標RF可以由實體元件(如記憶元件)所構成,但接收就緒旗標RF亦可以是一個節點的電壓,亦即接收就緒旗標RF可以是旗標設置單元228輸出端的電壓,此可依據本領域通常知識者自行設計,本發明實施例不以此為限。In the embodiment of the present invention, the receiving ready flag RF may be composed of a physical component (such as a memory component), but the receiving ready flag RF may also be a node voltage, that is, the receiving ready flag RF may be a flag. The voltage of the output of the unit 228 is set, which can be designed by a person skilled in the art, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.
由於接收就緒旗標RF為表示第一資料接收器224及第二資料接收器234是否可正確接收資料,因此在接收就緒旗標RF被設置前,影像來源140可持續傳輸或週期性傳輸連接訓練資料D_trn至第一驅動電路120與第二驅動電路130,並且影像來源140可調整傳送連接訓練資料D_trn的信號的振幅及/或驅動能力,以避免第一資料接收器224及第二資料接收器234因傳送連接訓練資料D_trn的信號振幅過小或驅動能力過低而無法正確接收連接訓練資料D_trn。Since the reception ready flag RF indicates whether the first data receiver 224 and the second data receiver 234 can correctly receive data, the image source 140 can be continuously transmitted or periodically transmitted before the reception ready flag RF is set. The data D_trn is transmitted to the first driving circuit 120 and the second driving circuit 130, and the image source 140 can adjust the amplitude and/or driving capability of the signal transmitting the connection training data D_trn to avoid the first data receiver 224 and the second data receiver. 234 The connection training data D_trn cannot be correctly received due to the signal amplitude of the transmission connection training data D_trn being too small or the driving ability being too low.
另一方面,第一資料接收器224及第二資料接收器234無法正確接收連接訓練資料D_trn亦可能是第一資料接收器224及第二資料接收器234的接收介面參數設定不當所致。在此接收介面參數以終端阻抗值為例,並且假設第一資料接收器224包括第一終端阻抗單元224R,第二資料接收器234包括第二終端阻抗單元234R。本發明的一實施例中,連接訓練資料D_trn及視訊資料D_V可透過差動信號來傳送,依據差動信號的電路設計,第一終端阻抗單元224R會並聯第二終端阻抗單元234R,並且第一終端阻抗單元224R的終端阻抗值與第二終端阻抗單元234R的終端阻抗值的總和維持不變。On the other hand, the first data receiver 224 and the second data receiver 234 fail to correctly receive the connection training data D_trn, which may be caused by improper setting of the receiving interface parameters of the first data receiver 224 and the second data receiver 234. Here, the receiving interface parameter is exemplified by the terminal impedance value, and it is assumed that the first data receiver 224 includes the first terminal impedance unit 224R and the second data receiver 234 includes the second terminal impedance unit 234R. In an embodiment of the present invention, the connection training data D_trn and the video data D_V can be transmitted through the differential signal. According to the circuit design of the differential signal, the first terminal impedance unit 224R is connected in parallel with the second terminal impedance unit 234R, and is first. The sum of the terminal impedance value of the terminal impedance unit 224R and the terminal impedance value of the second terminal impedance unit 234R remains unchanged.
一般而言,在設計第一終端阻抗單元224R的終端阻抗值及第二終端阻抗單元236R的終端阻抗值時,資料線路250的線路阻抗會被忽略。但是實際應用上,資料線路250的線路阻抗會影響第一資料接收器224及第二資料接收器234接收連接訓練資料D_trn及視訊資料D_V的效果,以致於第一資料接收器224及第二資料接收器234的其中之一可能無法正確接收連接訓練資料D_trn而無法進入接收就緒狀態,亦即旗標設置單元228僅接收到第一接收就緒信號S_mset及第二接收就緒信號S_sset的其中之一。In general, when designing the terminal impedance value of the first termination impedance unit 224R and the termination impedance value of the second termination impedance unit 236R, the line impedance of the data line 250 is ignored. However, in actual application, the line impedance of the data line 250 affects the effects of the first data receiver 224 and the second data receiver 234 receiving the connection training data D_trn and the video data D_V, so that the first data receiver 224 and the second data are obtained. One of the receivers 234 may not correctly receive the connection training data D_trn and cannot enter the reception ready state, that is, the flag setting unit 228 receives only one of the first reception ready signal S_mset and the second reception ready signal S_sset.
在第一資料接收器224及第二資料接收器234的其中之一無法進入接收就緒狀態時,應為第一終端阻抗單元224R的終端阻抗值及第二終端阻抗單元236R的終端阻抗值的阻抗匹配不當所致,因此可調整第一終端阻抗單元224R的終端阻抗值及第二終端阻抗單元236R的終端阻抗值,以使第一資料接收器224及第二資料接收器234可同時正確接收連接訓練資料D_trn,亦即使連接訓練資料D_trn傳送至第一資料接收器224及第二資料接收器234的等效阻抗值相似或相同。When one of the first data receiver 224 and the second data receiver 234 fails to enter the reception ready state, it should be the impedance of the terminal impedance value of the first terminal impedance unit 224R and the terminal impedance value of the second terminal impedance unit 236R. If the matching is improper, the terminal impedance value of the first terminal impedance unit 224R and the terminal impedance value of the second terminal impedance unit 236R can be adjusted, so that the first data receiver 224 and the second data receiver 234 can correctly receive the connection at the same time. The training data D_trn is similar or identical even if the equivalent impedance values transmitted to the first data receiver 224 and the second data receiver 234 are connected to the training data D_trn.
換言之,當接收就緒旗標RF未設置時,第一控制單元226可調整第一資料接收器224的第一終端阻抗單元224R的終端阻抗值且通知第二控制單元236,而第二控制單元236則同步調整第二資料接收器234的第二終端阻抗單元236R的終端阻抗值,以使第一終端阻抗單元224R的終端阻抗值與第二終端阻抗單元234R的終端阻抗值的總和維持不變,亦即從影像來源10端來看的等效的終端阻抗值維持不變。In other words, when the reception ready flag RF is not set, the first control unit 226 may adjust the terminal impedance value of the first termination impedance unit 224R of the first data receiver 224 and notify the second control unit 236, and the second control unit 236 Then, the terminal impedance value of the second terminal impedance unit 236R of the second data receiver 234 is synchronously adjusted so that the sum of the terminal impedance value of the first terminal impedance unit 224R and the terminal impedance value of the second terminal impedance unit 234R is maintained. That is, the equivalent terminal impedance value from the image source 10 end remains unchanged.
並且,當第一資料接收器224及第二資料接收器234同時接收到連接訓練資料D_trn時,則第一控制單元226可將第一終端阻抗單元224R的終端阻抗值及第二終端阻抗單元236R的終端阻抗值儲存於記憶單元240中,以於顯示裝置200下次開機時載入。由於第一控制單元226及第二控制單元236同步調整第一終端阻抗單元224R及第二終端阻抗單元234R的終端阻抗值,因此第一控制單元226可透過時序了解第二終端阻抗單元236R的終端阻抗值,但在其他實施例中,第二終端阻抗單元236R的終端阻抗值可透過第二控制單元236回傳,此可依據電路設計的不同而變,且本發明實施例不以此為限。Moreover, when the first data receiver 224 and the second data receiver 234 receive the connection training data D_trn at the same time, the first control unit 226 can set the terminal impedance value of the first terminal impedance unit 224R and the second terminal impedance unit 236R. The terminal impedance value is stored in the memory unit 240 for loading when the display device 200 is turned on next time. Since the first control unit 226 and the second control unit 236 synchronously adjust the terminal impedance values of the first terminal impedance unit 224R and the second terminal impedance unit 234R, the first control unit 226 can understand the terminal of the second terminal impedance unit 236R through the timing. The impedance value, but in other embodiments, the terminal impedance value of the second terminal impedance unit 236R can be transmitted back through the second control unit 236, which may be changed according to the circuit design, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto. .
