This design not only improves the operability and flexibility of the system, but also enables the OLED display screen driver to better adapt to the needs of different application scenarios.

[0033] Specifically, the auxiliary power supply box includes a switching power supply module, an MCU module, a DAC module and a voltage sampling module. The switching power supply module includes a +24V switching power supply module and a -24V switching power supply module, which are responsible for converting the input mains voltage into a stable DC voltage required by the OLED display driver. By adopting efficient switching power supply technology, the module can provide sufficient power while maintaining low power consumption and reducing heat generation. The output voltage of the switching power supply module can be adjusted according to the requirements of the display to ensure the stability and reliability of the power supply in different working modes.

[0034] The MCU (microcontroller unit) module is used to control the overall operation of the auxiliary power box. The MCU module is connected to the embedded Linux backplane through the UART CAN bus, receives control instructions from the backplane, and adjusts the working status of the switching power module and the DAC module according to these instructions. The introduction of the MCU module enables the auxiliary power box to achieve intelligent management, which can not only adjust the power output in real time, but also perform fault diagnosis and protection, such as overvoltage and overcurrent protection, to enhance the safety of the system.

[0035] The DAC (digital-to-analog converter) module is used to convert the digital control signal sent by the MCU module into an analog voltage signal, thereby accurately adjusting the output voltage. The DAC module is connected to the sampling and power driver board through the power harness to provide an adjustable voltage signal to the driver board.

[0036] The voltage sampling module is used to monitor the output voltage of the auxiliary power box in real time. The module is connected to the MCU module and the DAC module, and feeds back the collected voltage signal to the MCU module and the DAC module, so that the MCU can adjust the power output in real time to keep the output voltage within the set range. The existence of the voltage sampling module ensures the stability of the power supply when the system is running for a long time, and effectively prevents display failure or image quality degradation caused by voltage fluctuations.

[0037] Specifically, the interface bridge board includes an MCU module, an HDMI interface, and an RBG bridge chip or a MIPI bridge chip.

[0038] The MCU module is the core control unit of the interface bridge board, responsible for managing the signal conversion and interface control functions on the interface bridge board. The MCU module is connected to the embedded Linux backplane through the UART CAN bus, receives control instructions sent by the backplane, and performs signal switching and interface configuration. The MCU module can select the appropriate signal path to ensure effective signal transmission by controlling the RGB bridge chip or MIPI bridge chip according to the type of display and the input signal. Through the intelligent control of the MCU module, the interface bridge board can dynamically adapt to different signal input requirements and improve the compatibility and flexibility of the system.

[0039] The RGB bridge chip is used to convert HDMI signals or other digital video signals into analog RGB signals to be compatible with display devices that use RGB input interfaces. The chip can support the conversion of multiple video formats to ensure that the signal is converted and output without loss during transmission. By controlling the RGB bridge chip, the MCU module can selectively convert the HDMI input signal into RGB signals to meet the needs of traditional display devices or certain industrial application scenarios.

[0040] MIPI bridge chips are used to convert HDMI signals or other signal standards into MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface) signals, which are suitable for high-resolution, low-power display devices. MIPI interface is widely used in mobile devices and high-end displays because it supports high-speed serial data transmission and can provide higher image quality and response speed. Through the MIPI bridge chip, the interface bridge board can convert standard HDMI signals into MIPI signals and transmit them directly to the OLED display, making it compatible with modern high-resolution display requirements.

[0041] Specifically, the sampling and power driver board includes: DAC circuit, filter, ADC circuit, low noise amplifier and reference voltage source. The DAC circuit in the sampling and power driver board adopts a higher resolution design, increasing the number of bits from the traditional 8 bits to 12 bits. This design greatly improves the fineness of the output signal, making the signal closer to the original digital signal during the conversion process. In order to further improve the accuracy of the output signal, calibration and compensation technology is introduced. By correcting the nonlinear error of the DAC, the converted analog signal has higher linearity and accuracy.

[0042] In addition, the DAC circuit uses advanced filter and noise shaping technologies, which can effectively reduce noise and distortion in the output signal. By optimizing the layout of the power supply and ground wires, the DAC circuit reduces the interference introduced by power supply noise and ground loops, thereby providing a purer and more stable analog signal output. These improvements enable the OLED display to obtain higher quality drive signals and improve the display effect.

[0043] The filter can remove high-frequency noise and unnecessary interference signals from the signal. By using low-pass filters and band-pass filters, it can ensure that only signals in the required frequency band are allowed to pass, reducing the impact of noise in other frequency bands. Combined with noise shaping technology, the filter can further improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal and make the output signal closer to the ideal waveform.

[0044] The ADC circuit in the sampling and power driver board adopts a higher resolution design, increasing the number of bits from the traditional 12 bits to 24 bits. This increase significantly increases the accuracy of the sampled signal, allowing it to capture more subtle changes in the process of converting analog signals to digital signals, providing higher quality digital data.

[0045] In order to further improve the conversion accuracy, the ADC circuit adopts self-calibration technology, which can automatically correct offset errors and gain errors to ensure the conversion accuracy of the signal. The sampling rate of the ADC circuit has also been improved, from a few kHz to hundreds of kHz to meet the acquisition requirements of high-frequency signals. This high sampling rate combined with multi-channel parallel sampling technology greatly improves data acquisition efficiency and bandwidth, can process multiple signal channels at the same time, and improves the parallel capability of data processing.

[0046] The low noise amplifier has low input noise and high gain stability, which can amplify weak signals without introducing significant noise. In addition, the noise level of the system is further reduced by optimizing the PCB layout and shielding design. These measures improve the dynamic range of the signal and ensure that the quality of the signal remains consistent throughout the entire processing process.

[0047] The reference voltage source provides a stable reference voltage for the DAC and ADC circuits to ensure the accuracy and consistency of signal conversion. The high-precision, low-drift reference voltage source design enables the system to maintain a stable voltage reference under different temperature and load conditions, avoiding signal deviations caused by voltage fluctuations.

[0048] In order to reduce power consumption, the sampling and power driver board adopts low-power architecture and CMOS technology. When high sampling rate and high resolution are not required, the system is designed with energy-saving mode to reduce power consumption. This design not only extends the service life of the equipment, but also reduces the heat generated by the system during long-term operation, improving the overall reliability and stability.

[0049] Through the above design and optimization, the signal processing capability and quality of the sampling and power driver board have been significantly improved. The high resolution and linearity improvement of the DAC circuit make the output signal more accurate and delicate; the application of filter and noise shaping technology effectively reduces signal noise and distortion; the high resolution and high sampling rate design of the ADC circuit meet the needs of high-frequency signal acquisition; the use of low-noise amplifiers and reference voltage sources improves the dynamic range and stability of the signal; the low-power design ensures that the system maintains low power consumption while running efficiently.

[0050] Optionally, the OLED display screen driving device further includes: a cooling module, including a fan or liquid cooling, for dissipating heat from the OLED display screen driving device. The OLED display screen driving device performs an optimized design of the heat flow path in the circuit board layout. By rationally arranging the positions of power-intensive components, it is ensured that the heat can be effectively dispersed and conducted. In addition, more heat dissipation holes and copper foil layers are added to the circuit board to enhance the thermal conduction and heat dissipation performance. The addition of the copper foil layer significantly improves the thermal conductivity of the circuit board, so that the heat can be quickly conducted from the heat source to the heat dissipation area, thereby preventing local overheating. This improved heat dissipation design can more effectively disperse the heat on the circuit board to the surrounding environment, reduce the temperature inside the driving device, ensure that each component operates within a normal operating temperature range, and reduce component failure or performance degradation caused by overheating. Through this layout optimization, the heat forms an effective heat flow path on the circuit board, avoiding the accumulation of heat in a certain area and improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency.

[0051] In order to monitor and manage the temperature of the OLED display driver in real time, the system adds thermal sensors (temperature sensors), which can be distributed in key locations on the circuit board, such as near the power amplifier, processor, and power module. The thermal sensors can monitor the temperature of these areas in real time and feed back the temperature data to the embedded Linux core board or MCU module. When the temperature exceeds the set safety threshold, the system can trigger an active cooling mechanism through software.

[0052] Active cooling solutions include fans and liquid cooling. Fans can dynamically adjust speed according to temperature changes, providing variable cooling air flow, thereby effectively reducing component temperature. In the case of higher heat dissipation requirements, a liquid cooling system can be used to remove heat through liquid circulation. The liquid cooling system has a high heat exchange efficiency and can significantly reduce the temperature of the device in a short time. Through the combination of thermal sensors and active cooling systems, the system can automatically respond to temperature changes, adjust the cooling intensity in real time, avoid overheating, and ensure stable operation of the equipment.

[0053] Optionally, the OLED display driver also includes: a remote firmware update module, which is used to upgrade the firmware through the network, provide online maintenance and function expansion. The remote firmware update module of the OLED display driver is connected to the external network through the embedded Linux core board, and can receive firmware update packages from a remote server.

Through this remote firmware update function, the device's firmware can be updated to the latest version in a timely manner to fix known vulnerabilities, improve system performance, add new functions or optimize existing functions.

[0054] The workflow of the remote firmware update module includes four steps: detection, download, verification and installation: the system will check whether a new version of the firmware is available regularly or when triggered by the user. Through the network connection, the driver will query the firmware version information on the remote server; if a new version of the firmware is detected, the system will automatically download the firmware update package. The download process can be carried out through an encrypted connection to ensure the security of the transmission; after the download is completed, the system will verify the integrity and security of the firmware package, such as checking the file hash value and digital signature to prevent malware or wrong firmware packages from being installed; after the verification is passed, the firmware update will be performed in an appropriate time window, such as when the device is idle or under low load, to avoid affecting normal use. During the installation process, the system will back up the current firmware to restore it when the update fails; the introduction of the remote firmware update module enables the OLED display driver to be easily maintained online, reducing the frequency and complexity of manual maintenance. Users or operation and maintenance personnel can update the system without physical contact with the device, reducing maintenance costs and time. In addition, remote firmware updates also provide support for functional expansion. New display functions can be introduced, existing algorithms can be optimized, or system compatibility can be improved through software upgrades, extending the life cycle of the device.

[0055] Optionally, the embedded Linux core board includes: an adjustment module for controlling the display brightness, contrast and color temperature of the OLED display screen; an image processing unit for controlling the switching of the display mode of the OLED display screen; and a non-volatile memory for storing display configuration parameters and firmware programs.

[0056] The adjustment module on the embedded Linux core board is used to control the display parameters of the OLED display, including brightness, contrast and color temperature. The adjustment module dynamically adjusts these parameters of the display to adapt to different usage scenarios and user preferences by receiving instructions from the PC host or other control devices. The adjustment module can use PWM (pulse width modulation) technology to adjust the brightness, use Gamma correction algorithm to optimize the contrast, and achieve color temperature changes by adjusting the driving voltage of RGB sub-pixels.

[0057] The adjustment module can adjust the brightness of the display screen according to the ambient light conditions or user settings to provide the best viewing experience. For example, lower the brightness in a dark environment to reduce eye fatigue, and increase the brightness in strong light to ensure screen readability. By adjusting the black and white levels of the display signal, the adjustment module can enhance the contrast of the image, make the image details clearer, and improve the display effect. By adjusting the driving voltage of the red, green, and blue pixels of the display, the adjustment module can change the color temperature of the screen to achieve the conversion of warm and cold tones to meet the needs of different scenarios, such as reading mode, theater mode, etc.

[0058] The image processing unit integrated in the embedded Linux core board is used to manage the display mode switching of the OLED display. The image processing unit is able to process the input video signal and apply different image enhancement algorithms, such as noise reduction, demosaicing, sharpening, etc., to improve the image quality. In addition, the image processing unit can switch different display modes on the display, such as standard mode, movie mode, game mode, etc. The image processing parameters in each mode can be pre-configured to optimize the viewing experience in a specific scenario.

[0059] The image processing unit can automatically switch display modes by analyzing the characteristics of the input signal or receiving user instructions. For example, when movie content is detected, it can automatically switch to movie mode to enhance color and contrast to provide more vivid visual effects. Through the built-in image processing algorithm, the image processing unit can process low-quality input signals, improve the picture quality, and make the final display effect clearer and more realistic.

[0060] The non-volatile memory of the embedded Linux core board is used to store display configuration parameters and firmware programs. The non-volatile memory can maintain the integrity of the stored data in the event of a power outage, ensuring that the device configuration and firmware will not be lost. Display configuration parameters such as brightness, contrast, color temperature and other user settings can be stored in the non-volatile memory, and when the device is restarted, the previous settings can be automatically restored. The storage of firmware programs ensures that the system can safely and reliably update the firmware during upgrades or maintenance.

[0061] The display parameters set by the user, such as brightness, contrast and color temperature, are saved in the non-volatile memory, ensuring that the display automatically loads these parameters each time the device is started, without the need for the user to set them repeatedly. The non-volatile memory is used to store the system's firmware program, ensuring that the firmware can be safely and completely stored and read when the device firmware is upgraded or the system is restored.

[0062] Specifically, the OLED display screen driving device 10 is connected and drives AD5328 and ADS1158 chips through SPI (serial peripheral interface) to achieve accurate voltage output and multi-channel data acquisition functions. AD5328 is a high-precision 8-channel, 12-bit DAC (digital-to-analog converter) chip that can output a configurable 0-15V voltage. The OLED display screen driving device is connected to the AD5328 chip through the SPI interface, and the embedded Linux core board or other control unit sends a control signal to the AD5328 through the SPI interface. The SPI interface is a full-duplex synchronous serial communication protocol, suitable for high-speed data transmission, and is used to accurately control the DAC output in the present embodiment.

[0063] Through the SPI interface, the driver can configure each channel of the AD5328 and set the required output voltage range (0-15V). These voltages can be used to provide the required driving voltage for different circuit parts of the OLED display, or for other modules that require precise voltage control. The configurable voltage output function of the AD5328 chip can dynamically adjust the power supply of the display to adapt to different display modes or power requirements. For example, when displaying at high brightness, the voltage can be increased to enhance the brightness; in energy-saving mode, the voltage can be reduced to reduce power consumption.

[0064] ADS1158 is a high-precision 16-channel, 24-bit ADC (analog-digital converter) chip suitable for multi-channel voltage and current collection. The OLED display screen driver 10 is connected to the ADS1158 chip via the SPI interface, and the embedded Linux core board controls the ADC chip to sample via the SPI interface. Through the SPI interface, ADS1158 can collect analog signals of up to 16 channels. In this embodiment, the system configuration collects 7 voltages, 7 currents and 1 NTC temperature. The high resolution (24 bits) and high sampling rate of ADS1158 enable the system to accurately measure and monitor the voltage and current state of each channel. ADS1158 is also connected to an NTC temperature sensor for real-time monitoring of temperature changes inside the driver. The resistance of the NTC sensor changes with temperature, and the current temperature value can be calculated by collecting its voltage change through ADC, which helps the system to perform thermal management.

[0065] SPI interface plays a key communication bridge role in the present embodiment, providing efficient and stable data transmission channel.Through SPI interface, embedded Linux core board can communicate with AD5328 and ADS1158 chips efficiently.The synchronous clock of SPI interface makes data transmission faster and more reliable, which is particularly suitable for occasions requiring real-time control and monitoring.SPI interface allows embedded Linux core board to dynamically configure the working mode of DAC and ADC chips, set output voltage and sampling rate, and respond to system requirements in time.Through SPI interface, the voltage, current and temperature data collected can be quickly transmitted to embedded Linux core board for further processing, analysis and display.These real-time data help the system to adjust itself in actual operation and optimize performance.
