[0035] The exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present application can also be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present application and to fully convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art.

[0036] Before explaining the display module provided in the embodiment of the present application, the application scenario of the display module provided in the embodiment of the present application is specifically described:

[0037] With the popularity of high frame rate electronic devices such as tablets, game consoles, and TVs, users are becoming more and more aware of and demanding high frame rate experience. Taking tablets as an example, although high frame rate tablets currently support 120 / 90Hz, many of the actual displayed content, such as movies (24fps), TV series (30fps), games (30 / 60fps), browsers (60fps), etc., do not achieve true high frame rates, but only rely on the graphics processing unit (GPU) or display driver module to perform simple screen repetition, and the actual experience is still low frame rate.

[0038] In the related art, for large-screen electronic devices, in order to meet the display requirements of high frame rate and high resolution, multiple display driver chips (Display Driver Integrated Circuit, DDIC) are arranged in the electronic device, and the system-level chip (System on Chip, SoC) and the multiple display driver chips are transmitted through a multi-channel high-speed differential signal transmission protocol (Mobile Industry Processor Interface, MIPI). Correspondingly, an independent display chip is provided in each MIPI transmission path, and the independent display chip is used to process the image data (such as interpolation, super-resolution, noise reduction, color enhancement, etc.) to achieve high frame rate display.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, a schematic diagram of the architecture of a display system in the related art is shown, and the display system includes: a system processor 11, two independent display chips 12 and a display module 13. Among them, the system processor 11 is a system-level chip, and the system-level chip may include a processor core, a digital signal processor, a storage module, a communication interface, a power management, a radio frequency front end and other modules. The system-level chip has two display serial interfaces (Display Serial Interface, DSI): DSI TX0 and DSITX1, and the system-level chip realizes data transmission with two independent display chips 12 through two MIPIs. The system-level chip divides the image data of the display content into two, and transmits it to the two independent display chips 12 respectively through two DSI interfaces, wherein the display content may include: a user interface (User Interface, UI) layer or a multimedia (video) layer content, and the independent display chip 12 receives the image data and processes it through its internal various functional modules (such as interpolation, super resolution, noise reduction, color enhancement, etc.) to generate synthetic frame data.

[0040] The display module 13 is a liquid crystal module (LCM), and the display module 13 includes two drive display modules. The two drive display modules can be display driver chips. The display driver chips can include: power supply, Timing (responsible for timing processing), source (data module, responsible for pushing data) and other modules. One of the two display driver chips is the master display driver chip: IC1-M (Master DDIC), and the other is the slave display driver chip IC2-S (Slave DDIC). The two independent display chips 12 pass the synthesized frame data processed by each of them to the two display driver chips IC1-M and IC2-S in the display module 13 respectively, and the two display driver chips refresh the data to the display panel respectively, thereby displaying content with a high frame rate.

[0041] The functions of each interface are as follows:

[0042] DSI TX0 (abbreviated as TX0): outputs the user interface layer or multimedia layer content;

[0043] DSI RX0 (abbreviated as: RX0): receives the content transmitted by DSI TX0;

[0044] DSI TX1 (abbreviated as TX1): outputs the user interface layer or multimedia layer content;

[0045] DSI Rx1 (abbreviated as: RX1): receives the content transmitted by DSI TX1;

[0046] DSI Tx2 / TX3: output display content to LCM;

[0047] TE: Display frame rate synchronization signal;

[0048] MIPI: high-speed differential signal transmission protocol;

[0049] PMIC: power management chip / module, including: battery management chip, independent display power management chip and other module power management chips / modules.

[0050] However, multi-channel MIPI transmission using related technologies requires the installation of multiple independent display chips, which greatly increases the cost of electronic equipment. At the same time, the use of multi-channel MIPI transmission makes the structural design complex, further increasing the structural cost. In addition, the use of multi-channel MIPI transmission cannot ensure data transmission synchronization between multiple transmission paths. After the introduction of independent display chips, the performance differences of the independent display chips themselves will amplify the delay between the multiple transmission paths, further increasing the risk of asynchronous data transmission.

[0051] Based on the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a display module to at least solve one of the problems of multi-channel MIPI transmission using related technologies in the prior art, which has complex structural design, high cost, and the risk of asynchronous data transmission, affecting the stability of data transmission.

[0052] The display module provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0053] refer to Figure 2, shows a schematic diagram of the architecture of a display module provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the display module 13 includes: an image processing module 132, a main display driver module 1311, a slave display driver module 1312 and a display panel 133; the image processing module 132 is connected to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312 respectively; the image processing module 132 is used to receive image data, and perform frame processing on the image data to obtain synthetic frame data, and distribute the synthetic frame data to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312; the main display driver module 1311 is connected to the slave display driver module 1312, the main display driver module 1311 is used to send a synchronization timing signal to the slave display driver module 1312, and control the display panel 133 to display according to the received synthetic frame data; the slave display driver module 1312 is used to control the display panel 133 to display synchronously according to the received synchronization timing signal and the synthetic frame data.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, the display module 13 includes an image processing module 132, a main display driver module 1311, a slave display driver module 1312 and a display panel 133. The image processing module 132 receives image data, performs frame processing on the image data to obtain synthetic frame data with a high frame rate, and distributes the synthetic frame data to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312. The main display driver module 1311 is used to send a synchronization timing signal to the slave display driver module 1312, and then the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312 respectively control the display panel 133 to perform synchronous display according to the synthetic frame data received by each. The image processing module 132 receives the image data, processes the image data and distributes it to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312, so that the display module 13 and the external system processor can use single-channel data transmission, which reduces the complexity of the structural design of the display module 13 while realizing high frame rate data display, and avoids the risk of asynchronous data transmission in multi-channel data transmission, thereby ensuring the stability of data transmission.

[0055] Specifically, the display module 13 includes: an image processing module 132, a main display driving module 1311, a slave display driving module 1312 and a display panel 133. After receiving the image data, the image processing module 132 processes the received image data to obtain synthesized frame data.

[0056] The image processing module 132 has functions similar to those of an independent display chip, that is, it has at least functions such as interpolation, noise reduction, and color enhancement. The frame processing of the image data by the image processing module 132 may include interpolation processing, using the two frames of data before and after the image data to calculate the motion characteristics of the picture, simulate the middle picture, and realize dynamic frame interpolation, thereby rendering the original low frame rate content into high frame rate content. The frame rate of the synthetic frame data processed by the image processing module 132 is greater than or equal to the image data received by the image processing module 132.

[0057] The image processing module 132 is connected to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312 respectively, wherein the image processing module 132 can be integrated with the main display driver module 1311, that is, the image processing module 132 is built into the display driver module, or the image processing module 132 can be independently set relative to the display driver module in an external manner.

[0058] The image processing module 132 processes the image data to obtain synthetic frame data, splits the synthetic frame data according to the number of main display driver modules 1311 and slave display driver modules 1312, and sends the split data to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312 respectively. After receiving the data distributed by the image processing module 132, the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312 respectively control the display panel 133 for synchronous display.

[0059] It is understandable that in the related art, multiple independent display chips and multiple display driver modules are set up in the display system, and one independent display chip is connected to one display driver module to realize one-way data transmission. In order to meet the high frame rate display requirements, multi-channel data transmission is realized through multiple independent display chips and multiple display driver modules. However, when using the data transmission method in the related art, due to the data transmission delay between different independent display chips and the performance difference of each independent display chip, the problem of data transmission asynchrony is prone to occur between multi-channel data transmission.

[0060] By using the display module in the embodiment of the present application, image data sent by an external system processor is received through an image processing module 132, and the image data is frame processed by the image processing module 132 to obtain synthetic frame data with a high frame rate, and then the synthetic frame data is distributed to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312, thereby avoiding the problem of asynchronous data transmission due to multiple independent display chips, and reducing the risk of asynchronous data transmission.

[0061] Specifically, the main display driver module 1311 is connected to the slave display driver module 1312, and the main display driver module 1311 can send a synchronization timing signal to the slave display driver module 1312, so that the slave display driver module 1312 can synchronously refresh data to the display panel 133 according to the synchronization timing signal, thereby achieving that the slave display driver module 1312 and the main display driver module 1311 can synchronously control the display panel 133 to display the synthesized frame data, thereby improving the timing synchronization of multiple display driver modules.

[0062] The number of slave display driver modules 1312 in the display module can be set to one or more. When there are multiple slave display driver modules 1312, the multiple slave display driver modules 1312 are respectively connected to the main display driver module 1311, and the main display driver module 1311 can send synchronous timing signals to the multiple slave display driver modules 1312 at the same time, so that the multiple slave display driver modules 1312 can synchronously refresh data to the display panel 133 according to the synchronous timing signals received by each, so that the multiple slave display driver modules 1312 and the main display driver module 1311 can synchronously control the display panel 133 to display the synthesized frame data.

[0063] Of course, the specific number of slave display driver modules 1312 provided in the display module 13 can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0064] The master display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312 may be connected via a parallel communication interface, and the master display driver module 1311 sends a synchronization timing signal to the slave display driver module 1312 via the parallel communication interface.

[0065] It can be understood that the image processing module 132 is connected to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312 respectively. When the image processing module 132 distributes the synthesized frame data to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312, the main display driver module 1311 simultaneously sends a synchronization timing signal to the slave display driver module 1312, thereby ensuring the synchronization of data transmission and timing control, and reducing the risk of asynchrony between different data transmission paths in the display module 13.

[0066] The display module 13 in the embodiment of the present application can be used in electronic devices with screens, such as tablet computers, smart TVs, movie screens, etc. For electronic devices with screen sizes larger than a preset size, in order to obtain a high-resolution, high-frame-rate display effect, multiple display driver modules can be set in the display module 13, and multiple display driver modules are used to synchronously drive the display panel 133 of the electronic device to display high-frame-rate image data. It should be noted that a main display driver module 1311 and at least one slave display driver module 1312 are set in the display module, wherein the specific number of slave display driver modules 1312 can be determined according to the display requirements of the display panel 133, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0067] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 The image processing module 132 is integrated with the main display driver module 1311 ; the image processing module 132 includes at least one output interface, and one output interface is connected to one slave display driver module 1312 .

[0068] In the embodiment of the present application, the image processing module 132 can be integrated with the main display driver module 1311 to simplify the structural design of the display module 13. Compared with connecting the image processing module 132 and the main display driver module 1311 through a display interface, the image processing module 132 directly transmits data to the main display driver module 1311 through an internal integrated circuit, thereby reducing the data transmission delay between the image processing module 132 and the main display driver module 1311.

[0069] Specifically, the display module includes a main display driver module 1311 and a slave display driver module 1312, and the image processing module 132 can be integrated with the main display driver module 1311. For example, the main display driver module 1311 can use a display driver chip, and the image processing module 132 can be integrated in the display driver chip, so that the integrated display driver chip has the frame processing function of the independent display chip, wherein the frame processing may include: frame insertion, noise reduction, color enhancement, etc.

[0070] The image processing module 132 includes at least one output interface, and the display module includes at least one slave display driver module 1312. Correspondingly, each slave display driver module 1312 is provided with a receiving interface. An output interface of the image processing module 132 is connected to a receiving interface of a slave display driver module 1312, thereby realizing data transmission from the image processing module 132 to the slave display driver module 1312.

[0071] Specifically, Figure 2As shown, the image processing module 132 includes: an input interface RX0, an output interface TX1, the image processing module 132 is connected to the input interface RX1 of the slave display driver module 1312 through the output interface TX1, and the image processing module 132 is connected to the main display driver module 1311 through an integrated circuit. The output interface of the image processing module 132 and the receiving interface of the slave display driver module 1312 can use a DSI interface, wherein the output interface TX1 is a display serial interface-transmitter (DSI Transmit, DSI TX), and the input interface RX0 and the input interface RX1 are display serial interface-receivers (DSI Receiver, DSI RX).

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, the image processing module 132 and the main display driver module 1311 are integrated to form the display driver 130. The main display driver module 1311 in the display driver 130 can send a synchronous timing signal to the slave display driver module 1312, and the image processing module 132 can send data to the slave display driver module 1312. Therefore, the integrated display driver 130 can achieve unified control of the timing and data of the slave display driver module 1312, which can further reduce the risk of asynchronous data transmission. Optionally, refer to Figure 2 The image processing module 132 is also used to divide the synthesized frame data into first sub-data and second sub-data; transmit the first sub-data to the main display driving module 1311, and send the second sub-data to the slave display driving module 1312 through the output interface.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present application, the image processing module 132 can also split the synthetic frame data, divide the synthetic frame data into multiple sub-data, and send the multiple sub-data to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312 connected thereto respectively, so as to complete the distribution of the synthetic frame data, thereby uniformly distributing data to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312 through the image processing module 132, thereby realizing unified control of data transmission between the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312, simplifying the structural design and reducing the risk of asynchronous data transmission.

[0074] Specifically, after receiving the image data sent by the external system processor 11, the image processing module 132 performs frame insertion and other processing on the image data to obtain high frame rate synthetic frame data. Further, the image processing module 132 splits the synthetic frame data into first sub-data and second sub-data, and then the image processing module 132 transmits the first sub-data to the main display driver module 1311, and at the same time, sends the second sub-data to the slave display driver module 1312.

[0075] In some embodiments, a split display module (Split Display) is provided in the image processing module 132, and the split display module is used to split the synthesized frame data into a plurality of sub-data, thereby distributing the synthesized frame data to a plurality of display driving modules.

[0076] An output interface of the image processing module 132 is connected to a receiving interface of the slave display driving module 1312 , and the image processing module 132 sends the second sub-data to the slave display driving module 1312 connected to the output interface through the output interface.

[0077] It can be understood that the image processing module 132 can split the synthesized frame data according to the number of the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312. When there are multiple slave display driver modules 1312, the image processing module 132 can split the synthesized frame data into a first sub-data and multiple second sub-data, wherein the number of the multiple second sub-data after the split is consistent with the number of the multiple slave display driver modules 1312, thereby realizing the distribution of the multiple sub-data to multiple display driver modules.

[0078] Of course, the number of the second sub-data that are specifically split can be determined according to the number of slave display driving modules 1312 connected to the image processing module 132, and there is no limitation to this.

[0079] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 The image processing module 132 is further configured to send the second sub-data to the slave display driving module 1312 through the output interface based on the high-speed differential signal transmission protocol.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, the image processing module 132 sends the second sub-data to the display driver module 1312 based on MIPI transmission. The use of MIPI transmission can achieve high-speed transmission of high frame rate data, reduce power consumption during data transmission, and reduce the delay of the second sub-data transmission.

[0081] The image processing module 132 is connected to the slave display driver module 1312 via an output interface. The output interface of the image processing module 132 and the receiving interface of the slave display driver module 1312 can both adopt a DSI interface. The image processing module 132 can send the second sub-data to the slave display driver module 1312 based on MIPI transmission to realize data transmission between the image processing module 132 and the slave display driver module 1312.

[0082] It should be noted that, when there are multiple slave display driver modules 1312 , the image processing module 132 can send the second sub-data to the multiple slave display driver modules 1312 respectively through multi-channel MIPI transmission, and one slave display driver module 1312 corresponds to one MIPI transmission.

[0083] Optionally, refer to Figure 3 The image processing module 132 is independently arranged with the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312. The image processing module 132 includes at least two output interfaces, one of the at least two output interfaces is connected to the main display driver module 1311, and the other of the at least two output interfaces is connected to the slave display driver module 1312.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present application, the image processing module 132 and the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312 can be independently set. The image processing module 132 is provided with multiple output interfaces, and the image processing module 132 is respectively connected to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312 through the output interfaces. Thus, the image processing module 132 receives the image data sent by the external system processor 11, and obtains the synthesized frame data after being processed by the image processing module 132. The image processing module 132 then distributes the synthesized frame data to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312, thereby realizing high frame rate data display, which not only reduces the complexity of the structural design of the display module 13, but also avoids the risk of asynchronous data transmission in multi-channel data transmission, and ensures the stability of data transmission.

[0085] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the image processing module 132 in the display module 13 is independently arranged from the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312, and the image processing module 132 is provided with multiple output interfaces, such as TX1 and TX2. Correspondingly, the main display driver module 1311 is provided with a first receiving interface, such as RX1, and the slave display driver modules 1312 are respectively provided with second receiving interfaces, such as RX2. One output interface of the image processing module 132 is connected to the first receiving interface of the main display driver module 1311, such as TX1 is connected to RX1, and another output interface of the image processing module 132 is connected to the second receiving interface of the slave display driver module 1312, such as TX2 is connected to RX2, so that the image processing module 132 sends data to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312 respectively. The image processing module 132 is also provided with a receiving interface, such as RX0, for connecting to an external system processor.

[0086] The output interface of the image processing module 132, the first receiving interface of the main display driver module 1311, and the second receiving interface of the slave display driver module 1312 can all adopt a DSI interface, wherein the output interface of the image processing module 132 is a display serial interface-transmitter, and the first receiving interface of the main display driver module 1311 and the second receiving interface of the slave display driver module 1312 are display serial interface-receiver.

[0087] It should be noted that the output interface of the image processing module 132 corresponds to the interface type of the first receiving interface of the main display driver module 1311 and the second receiving interface of the slave display driver module 1312. The specific types of the multiple output interfaces of the image processing module 132 may be the same or different. Those skilled in the art may set them according to specific data transmission requirements, and the embodiments of the present application do not impose any restrictions on this.

[0088] In some embodiments, the display module may include a main display driver module 1311 and multiple slave display driver modules 1312. The image processing module 132 is provided with multiple output interfaces, and the image processing module 132 sends data to the main display driver module 1311 and multiple slave display driver modules 1312 through the output interfaces.

[0089] While the image processing module 132 sends data to the master display driver module 1311 and the multiple slave display driver modules 1312 respectively, the master display driver module 1311 sends synchronization timing signals to the multiple slave display driver modules 1312 respectively to achieve synchronization of data and timing.

[0090] Optionally, refer to Figure 3 The image processing module 132 is also used to divide the synthesized frame data into first sub-data and second sub-data; send the first sub-data to the main display driver module 1311 through the output interface, and send the second sub-data to the slave display driver module 1312 through the output interface.

[0091] In an embodiment of the present application, the image processing module 132 can also split the synthetic frame data into multiple sub-data, and send the multiple sub-data to multiple display driver modules connected thereto respectively to complete the distribution of the synthetic frame data, thereby uniformly distributing data to multiple display driver modules through the image processing module 132, thereby achieving unified control of data transmission of multiple display driver modules, simplifying the structural design, and reducing the risk of asynchronous data transmission.

[0092] Specifically, the display driver module includes a main display driver module 1311 and a slave display driver module 1312. After receiving the image data sent by the external system processor, the image processing module 132 performs frame insertion and other processing on the image data to obtain high frame rate synthetic frame data. Then, the synthetic frame data is split to obtain first sub-data and second sub-data, and the first sub-data is sent to the main display driver module 1311 through the output interface, and the second sub-data is sent to the slave display driver module 1312 through the output interface.

[0093] Furthermore, when the image processing module 132 sends the first sub-data to the master display driver module 1311 and sends the second sub-data to the slave display driver module 1312, the master display driver module 1311 synchronously sends a synchronization timing signal to the slave display driver module 1312 to achieve data and timing synchronization.

[0094] In some embodiments, the image processing module 132 may use an independent display chip, and various functional modules inside the independent display chip may process the received image data (such as interpolation, noise reduction, color enhancement, etc.) to obtain high frame rate synthetic frame data, thereby achieving high frame rate display.

[0095] In some embodiments, a split display module (Split Display) is provided in the image processing module 132, and the split display module is used to split the synthesized frame data into first sub-data and second sub-data, thereby splitting the synthesized frame data into multiple sub-data.

[0096] It can be understood that the display module may include a main display driver module 1311 and multiple slave display driver modules 1312, and the image processing module 132 may split the synthesized frame data into a first sub-data and multiple second sub-data according to the number of the main display driver modules 1311 and the slave display driver modules 1312, and the number of the split second sub-data is consistent with the number of the slave display driver modules 1312, thereby realizing the distribution of the multiple second sub-data to the multiple slave display driver modules 1312. The specific number of split second sub-data may be determined according to the number of the slave display driver modules 1312 connected to the image processing module 132, and there is no limitation on this.

[0097] Optionally, refer to Figure 3 The image processing module 132 is also used to send the first sub-data to the main display driver module 1311 through the output interface based on the high-speed differential signal transmission protocol, and to send the second sub-data to the slave display driver module 1312 through the output interface based on the high-speed differential signal transmission protocol.

[0098] In an embodiment of the present application, the image processing module 132 sends the first sub-data to the main display driver module 1311 based on MIPI transmission, and sends the second sub-data to the slave display driver module 1312 based on MIPI transmission. The use of MIPI transmission can achieve high-speed transmission of high frame rate data, reduce power consumption during data transmission, and reduce the delay of each sub-data transmission.

[0099] The image processing module 132 is connected to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312 through the output interface respectively. The output interface of the image processing module 132 and the receiving interfaces of the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312 can all adopt the DSI interface. The image processing module 132 can send the first sub-data to the main display driver module 1311 based on MIPI transmission, and send the second sub-data to the slave display driver module 1312 based on MIPI transmission, thereby realizing high-speed transmission of high frame rate data between the image processing module 132 and the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312.

[0100] refer to Figure 4 The embodiment of the present application also provides a display system, which includes: a system processor 11 and a display module 13; the display module 13 includes: an image processing module 132, a main display driver module 1311, a slave display driver module 1312 and a display panel 133; the system processor 11 is connected to the image processing module 132 for sending image data to the image processing module 132; the image processing module 132 is respectively connected to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312; the image processing module 132 is used to receive image data , and performs frame processing on the image data to obtain synthetic frame data, and distributes the synthetic frame data to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312; the main display driver module 1311 is connected to the slave display driver module 1312, the main display driver module 1311 is used to send a synchronization timing signal to the slave display driver module 1312, and control the display panel 133 to display according to the received synthetic frame data; the slave display driver module 1312 is used to control the display panel 133 to display synchronously according to the received synchronization timing signal and the synthetic frame data.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present application, the display system includes: a system processor 11 and a display module 13, wherein the display module 13 includes an image processing module 132, a main display driver module 1311, a slave display driver module 1312 and a display panel 133. The system processor 11 sends image data to the image processing module 132. After receiving the image data, the image processing module 132 performs frame processing on the image data to obtain synthetic frame data with a high frame rate, and distributes the synthetic frame data to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312. Then, the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312 respectively control the display panel 133 for synchronous display according to the synthetic frame data received by each of them. The system processor 11 sends the image data to the image processing module 132 through single-channel data transmission, and the image processing module 132 processes the data and distributes it to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312. In this way, the display module 13 and the system processor 11 transmit data through single-channel data, which reduces the complexity of the structural design of the display module 13 while realizing high frame rate data display, avoids the risk of data transmission asynchronism in multi-channel data transmission, and ensures the stability of data transmission.

[0102] like Figure 4 As shown, the output interface TX0 of the system processor 11 is connected to the input interface RX0 of the image processing module 132, and the output interface TX1 of the image processing module 132 is connected to the input interface RX1 of the slave display driver module 1312. The display module 13 includes a main display driver module 1311 and a slave display driver module 1312, wherein the image processing module 132 is integrated with the main display driver module 1311, the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312 are connected via a parallel communication interface, and the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312 are respectively connected to the display panel.

[0103] In some embodiments, the system processor 11 may be a system-on-chip, wherein the system-on-chip includes: a processor core, a digital signal processor, a storage module, a communication interface, a power management, a radio frequency front-end and other modules.

[0104] When the SoC transmits data to the display module 13, the image data can be adjusted to a target frame rate by reducing the output frame rate of the SoC and then adjusting the frame rate through interpolation processing of the image processing module 132. The target frame rate is greater than or equal to the frame rate of the original image data. This can increase or maintain the frame rate of the content displayed on the electronic device while reducing the power consumption of the SoC to stabilize the output frame rate of the SoC, thereby improving the smoothness of the picture displayed on the electronic device.

[0105] refer to Figure 5The embodiment of the present application also provides a display driver 130, including: an image processing module 132 and a main display driver module 1311; the image processing module 132 is connected to the main display driver module 1311; the image processing module 132 includes: an input interface and at least one output interface; the image processing module 132 is used to receive image data through the input interface, and perform frame processing on the image data to obtain synthetic frame data, and distribute the synthetic frame data to the main display driver module 1311 and distribute it to an external display driver through the output interface; the main display driver module 1311 is used to send a synchronization timing signal to an external display driver, and control the display panel to display according to the received synthetic frame data.

[0106] In the embodiment of the present application, the display driver 130 includes an image processing module 132 and a main display driver module 1311. The image processing module 132 receives image data through an input interface, performs frame processing on the received image data to obtain synthetic frame data with a high frame rate, and then distributes the synthetic frame data to the main display driver module 1311 and to an external display driver through an output interface. The main display driver module 1311 sends a synchronous timing signal to the external display driver, so that the external display driver controls the display panel to display synchronously with the main display driver module 1311 according to the synchronous timing signal and the received synthetic frame data. Thus, the display driver 130 receives data through a single channel, realizes high frame rate data transmission with the main display driver module 1311 and the external display driver, can reduce the complexity of the structural design of the display driver 130 when in use, and at the same time reduces the risk of asynchronous data transmission in multi-channel data transmission, thereby ensuring the stability of data transmission.

[0107] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the image processing module 132 can be integrated with the main display driver module 1311. The image processing module 132 is provided with an input interface such as RX0, and multiple output interfaces such as TX1 and TX2. The image processing module 132 can be connected to the external system processor 11 through the input interface to receive image data sent by the external system processor 11. Among them, the input interface and the output interface can use the DSI interface. The image processing module 132 can be connected to multiple external display drivers through multiple output interfaces to distribute the processed data to multiple external display drivers.

[0108] The input interface and output interface of the image processing module 132 may adopt DSI interface. The image processing module 132 and the external system processor 11, as well as the image processing module 132 and multiple external display drivers may adopt MIPI transmission.

[0109] It can be understood that, when the display driver 130 formed by the integration of the image processing module 132 and the main display driver module 1311 is connected to other external display drivers, the main display driver module 1311 in the display driver 130 can send a synchronous timing signal to the external display driver, and the image processing module 132 can send image data to the external display driver. Therefore, the integrated display driver 130 can achieve unified control of the timing and data of the external display driver, which can further reduce the risk of asynchronous data transmission.

[0110] refer to Figure 6 The present application also provides a display method, the specific steps of which include:

[0111] Step 101 : The image processing module 132 receives image data.

[0112] The display method of the embodiment of the present application can be used for the display module 13, and the display module 13 may include: an image processing module 132, a main display driver module 1311, a slave display driver module 1312 and a display panel 133, the image processing module 132 is respectively connected to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312, and the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312 are respectively connected to the display panel 133.

[0113] Image data can be received through the image processing module 132. Specifically, the image processing module 132 can be connected to the external system processor 11. The image processing module 132 can receive image data sent by the external system processor 11. The image data can be low frame rate image data, for example: 24fps (frames per second), 30fps, 60fps and other low frame rate image data.

[0114] Of course, the frame rate of the specific image data can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0115] It should be noted that before step 101 of the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device has a power-on process. For example, after the user clicks the power button, the electronic device is turned on and then the display system is powered on.

[0116] After power-on, it may also include:

[0117] S1, the system processor 11 sends a first initialization instruction to the image processing module 132;

[0118] S2, the image processing module 132 is initialized according to the first initialization instruction;

[0119] S3, the system processor 11 sends a second initialization instruction to the main display driver module 1311;

[0120] S4, the master display driver module 1311 initializes each slave display driver module 1312 according to the second initialization instruction. The master display driver module 1311 can initialize the slave display driver module 1312 through the TX1 interface.

[0121] S5, after a delay of the first preset time, the main display driver module 1311 is initialized according to the second initialization instruction;

[0122] Specifically, the master display driver module 1311 executes step S4 to initialize the slave display driver module 1312 after receiving the second initialization instruction, and initializes the master display driver module 1311 after a first preset time delay after receiving the second initialization instruction.

[0123] It is understandable that, since there is a delay in instruction transmission when the master display driver module 1311 initializes the slave display driver module 1312, the first preset time is set so that the master display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312 complete initialization synchronously.

[0124] The first preset time may be set to 50-150 ms, for example, 100 ms. Of course, the specific first preset time may be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0125] S6, the system processor 11 sends a frame processing instruction to the image processing module 132;

[0126] Specifically, after executing step S5 to initialize the main display driver module 1311, the system processor 11 sends a frame processing instruction to the image processing module 132 after a second preset time delay. The frame processing may include: frame insertion, noise reduction, color enhancement, etc.

[0127] It is understandable that the second preset time can be set to: 100-300ms, for example, 200ms. Of course, the specific second preset time can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0128] S7, the image processing module 132 enters the frame processing mode according to the frame processing instruction, and sends a target display frame rate synchronization signal to the system processor 11;

[0129] Among them, the image processing module 132 may include multiple frame processing modes, for example: a mode of interpolating 30HZ image data into 90Hz image data, a mode of interpolating 45HZ image data into 90Hz image data, a mode of interpolating 30HZ image data into 60Hz image data, etc. The specific frame processing mode selected by the image processing module 132 can be configured according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0130] When determining the frame processing mode of the image processing module 132, the corresponding target display frame rate synchronization signal can be determined according to the specific frame processing mode. For example, if the determined frame processing mode is a mode of inserting 30HZ image data into 90Hz image data, then the target display frame rate synchronization signal is a 30HZ display frame rate synchronization signal. Of course, the specific target display frame rate synchronization signal can be determined according to the actual selected frame processing mode, and there is no limitation on this.

[0131] S8, the system processor 11 receives the target display frame rate synchronization signal, and performs frame reduction processing on the original data to generate image data of the target display frame rate;

[0132] Specifically, after receiving the target display frame rate synchronization signal, the system processor 11 performs frame reduction processing on the original data. For example, if the frame rate of the original data is 90 Hz and the target display frame rate is 30 Hz, the system processor 11 reduces the original data from 90 Hz to 30 Hz to generate 30 Hz image data. Of course, the specific frame reduction processing can be determined according to the display frame rate of the original data and the target display frame rate, and there is no limitation on this.

[0133] By reducing the frame rate of the original data by the system processor 11, the amount of data transmitted from the system processor 11 to the image processor can be reduced, the transmission power consumption can be reduced, and the delay can also be reduced.

[0134] S9 , the system processor 11 sends the image data to the image processing module 132 .

[0135] Step 102: The image processing module 132 performs frame processing on the image data to obtain synthetic frame data.

[0136] In the embodiment of the present application, the system processor 11 sends the image data to the image processing module 132. After receiving the image data, the image processing module 132 performs frame processing on the image data to obtain synthetic frame data with a high frame rate. The frame rate of the synthetic frame data obtained after the image processing module 132 processes is greater than or equal to the frame rate of the image data received by the image processing module 132.

[0137] Specifically, the image processing module 132 has a function equivalent to that of an independent display chip, and can perform frame processing on the image data, wherein the frame processing may include: frame insertion, noise reduction, color enhancement, etc. The image processing module 132 can obtain high frame rate synthetic frame data by performing frame processing on the image data, for example, it can perform frame processing on 30 Hz image data to obtain 90 Hz synthetic frame data.

[0138] Of course, the frame rate of the generated synthetic frame data can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0139] Step 103 : The image processing module 132 distributes the synthesized frame data to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312 .

[0140] In the embodiment of the present application, image data is received by the image processing module 132, and then the image data is processed and distributed to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312, so that the display module 13 and the external system processor 11 can adopt single-channel data transmission, which reduces the complexity of the structural design of the display module 13 while realizing high frame rate data display, avoids the risk of data transmission asynchrony in multi-channel data transmission, and ensures the stability of data transmission.

[0141] Step 104 : The master display driver module 1311 sends a synchronization timing signal to the slave display driver module 1312 .

[0142] Specifically, the master display driver module 1311 can send a synchronous timing signal to the slave display driver module 1312 , so that the slave display driver module 1312 can refresh data to the display panel 133 synchronously with the master display driver module 1311 according to the synchronous timing signal.

[0143] Step 105 , the main display driver module 1311 controls the display panel 133 to display according to the received synthesized frame data; and the slave display driver module 1312 controls the display panel 133 to display synchronously according to the received synchronization timing signal and the synthesized frame data.

[0144] Specifically, the main display driver module 1311 receives the synthesized frame data distributed by the image processing module 132, and controls the display panel 133 to display according to the received synthesized frame data. At the same time, the slave display driver module 1312 receives both the synthesized frame data distributed by the image processing module 132 and the synchronization timing signal sent by the main display driver module 1311. The slave display driver module 1312 controls the display panel 133 to display synchronously according to the received synthesized frame data and the synchronization timing signal. In this way, the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312 synchronously control the display panel 133 to display.

[0145] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, in step 103, distributing the synthesized frame data to the master display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312 includes:

[0146] Step 1031, dividing the synthesized frame data into first sub-data and second sub-data;

[0147] Step 1032 , sending the first sub-data to the master display driver module 1311 , and sending the second sub-data to the slave display driver module 1312 .

[0148] In the embodiment of the present application, after receiving the image data, the image processing module 132 first performs frame processing on the image data to obtain synthetic frame data with a high frame rate, and then divides the synthetic frame data into first sub-data and second sub-data, and sends the first sub-data to the main display driver module 1311, and sends the second sub-data to the slave display driver module 1312. Therefore, after the synthetic frame data is split by the image processing module 132, the data is uniformly distributed to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312, thereby improving the synchronization of data transmission.

[0149] In some embodiments, the image processing module 132 is integrated with the main display driver module 1311, and the image processing module 132 is connected to the slave display driver module 1312 through an output interface. After the image processing module 132 divides the synthesized frame data into the first sub-data and the second sub-data, the first sub-data is transmitted to the main display driver module 1311 through the internal integrated circuit, and the second sub-data is sent to the slave display driver module 1312 through the output interface.

[0150] The image processing module 132 may send the second sub-data to the slave display driving module 1312 based on MIPI transmission.

[0151] In some embodiments, the image processing module 132 is independently arranged from the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312, and the image processing module 132 is respectively connected to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312 through output ports. After the image processing module 132 divides the synthesized frame data into the first sub-data and the second sub-data, the first sub-data is sent to the main display driver module 1311 through the output interface, and the second sub-data is sent to the slave display driver module 1312 through the output interface.

[0152] The image processing module 132 may send the first sub-data and the second sub-data to the master display driving module 1311 and the slave display driving module 1312 respectively based on MIPI transmission.

[0153] It should be noted that the image processing module 132 can determine the number of sub-data that need to be split according to the number of connected main display driver modules 1311 and slave display driver modules 1312. Those skilled in the art can set it according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

The image processing module 132 receives image data, performs frame processing on the image data to obtain synthetic frame data with a high frame rate, and distributes the synthetic frame data to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312. The main display driver module 1311 is connected to the slave display driver module 1312. The main display driver module 1311 is used to send a synchronization timing signal to the slave display driver module 1312, and control the display panel 133 to display according to the received synthetic frame data; the slave display driver module 1312 is used to control the display panel 133 to display synchronously according to the received synchronization timing signal and synthetic frame data. The image data is received through the image processing module 132, and then processed and distributed to the main display driver module 1311 and the slave display driver module 1312, so that the display module 13 and the external system processor 11 can adopt single-channel data transmission, which reduces the complexity of the structural design of the display module 13 while realizing high frame rate data display, avoids the risk of data transmission asynchrony in multi-channel data transmission, and ensures the stability of data transmission.
