In order to ensure that the media image of the blind spot can be fully obtained, a wide-angle camera and / or a combination of multiple cameras may be preferably used.

[0039] The information transmission device 100 is disposed inside a car, and receives the media image and sends the media image to the display device 200 .

[0040] Specifically, the display device 200 includes a plurality of LED display chips and a driving circuit arranged on a vehicle body, wherein the driving circuit includes a driving wire and a display driving chip, and the driving wire connects the display driving chip and the LED display chip.

[0041] Furthermore, the display driving chip is connected to the information transmission device 100 .

[0042] Preferably, Figure 2This is a structural schematic diagram of the automobile display system in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the driving wire 210 includes a first wire 211 arranged along a first direction and a second wire 212 arranged along a second direction; the first wire 211 is connected to the first electrode of the LED display chip 220 and the display driving chip 230; the second wire is connected to the second electrode of the LED display chip 220 and is grounded; the display driving chip 230 is connected to the information transmission device 100 and the second wire.

[0043] Preferably, the first conductive wire 211 and the second conductive wire 212 are arranged in orthogonal directions and are insulated and isolated from each other.

[0044] Preferably, the first electrode is a positive electrode of the LED display chip 220 , and the second electrode is a negative electrode of the LED display chip 220 .

[0045] Furthermore, the display driver chip 230 can use an active drive mode or a passive drive mode to drive the LED display chip to display the media image. The embodiment of the present invention preferably uses a passive drive mode to drive the LED display chip.

[0046] Furthermore, the display device 200 in the embodiment of the present invention is arranged on the inner side of the A-pillar of the automobile or the inner surface of the front windshield of the automobile to synchronously display the road conditions of the blind spot outside the A-pillar.

[0047] In the first embodiment of the present invention, preferably, the display device 200 is arranged on the inner side of the A-pillar of the automobile as an example for explanation, and the display device 200 further includes a PI film (polyimide film) 240, and the driving wire is arranged on the PI film 240; the PI film 240 is wrapped and arranged on the inner surface of the A-pillar of the automobile. Specifically, the driving wire 20 can be formed on the PI film 240 by a printing process or a photolithography process. And the LED display chip 220 can be formed on the PI film 240 by a mass transfer process. Among them, the PI film is a flexible material, which can realize a better fit of the display device 200 to the A-pillar. The PI film is wrapped and covered at a set position on the A-pillar, preferably to achieve full coverage of the LED display chip on the inner surface of the A-pillar. In the alternative implementation, the display driver chip 230 is placed inside the vehicle body, and each of the first and second wires are connected respectively by leads. In this embodiment, by directly forming the driving wire on the PI film wrapped around the A-pillar, the display device can be better matched with the shape and curvature of different automobile A-pillars, enhancing the aesthetics and personalization.
