[0066] In order to make the purpose, implementation mode and advantages of the present application clearer, the exemplary implementation mode of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the exemplary embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described exemplary embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.
[0067] It should be noted that the brief description of terms in this application is only for the convenience of understanding the embodiments described below, and is not intended to limit the embodiments of this application. Unless otherwise specified, these terms should be understood according to their common and usual meanings.
[0068] The terms "first", "second", "third", etc. in the specification and claims of this application and the above drawings are used to distinguish similar or similar objects or entities, and do not necessarily mean to limit a specific order or sequence, unless otherwise noted. It should be understood that the terms used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, for example, they can be implemented in an order other than those given in the diagrams or descriptions of the embodiments of this application.
[0069] In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover but not exclude inclusion, for example, a product or device comprising a list of components is not necessarily limited to those components expressly listed but may include other components not expressly listed or inherent to such products or devices.
[0070] With the development of science and technology, people have more choices for viewing equipment. Laser projection equipment is deeply loved by people for its eye protection, bright colors, and power saving.
[0071] In order to reduce the space occupied by laser projection equipment, the size of laser projection equipment is getting smaller and smaller, and the lasers therein are also miniaturized. One direction of miniaturization is to replace ordinary lasers with common cathode lasers or common anode lasers. For example, Figure 3 The circuit diagram of the common laser provided for this application is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the pins of the sub-lasers in a common laser are independent of each other. Figure 1 The circuit diagram of the common cathode laser provided in this application is as follows: Figure 2 The circuit diagram of the common anode laser provided in this application is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, in a common cathode laser, the lasers share a cathode pin, such as Figure 2 As shown, the lasers in the common anode laser share one anode pin, so the common cathode laser or common anode laser can save pin space and achieve miniaturization of the laser.
[0072] In the prior art, in order to improve the projection brightness of laser projection equipment, multiple lasers are usually used. As for the connection method of multiple lasers, since the pins in the common cathode laser and the common anode laser are shared, it is difficult to connect them in series, and a parallel method is generally adopted; in addition, each sub-laser corresponding to each luminous color in each common cathode laser or common anode laser needs to be equipped with a control chip.
[0073] For example, Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the structure of the common anode laser in parallel in the prior art provided by this application is as follows: Figure 4As shown, the structure of the common anode laser in parallel in the prior art includes a power supply, a display control component, six constant current components and two common anode lasers. The power supply supplies power to the display control component and the constant current component. The display control component controls the constant current component to output current to the common anode laser, so that the common anode laser lights up. The red sub-laser, the green sub-laser, and the blue sub-laser in the two common anode lasers are output by separate constant current units respectively, so when the lasers of the same luminous color light up at the same time, there will be differences in the current flowing through them, which will cause differences in the brightness of the display screen. In addition, since each sub-laser is equipped with a constant current component, the number of constant current components is large, the cost is high, it is not conducive to miniaturization, and the common magnetic interference generated is large.
[0074] In order to solve the above problems, the technical solution of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.
[0075] The overall structure of the laser projection device is described below, for example, Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a laser projection device provided for this application, such as Figure 5 As shown, after the upper shell of the laser projection device is disassembled, the internal structure is divided according to the optical function, and may include a light source 501, an optical machine 502, and a lens 503, wherein the light source 501 is used to provide a light source illumination beam, which is transmitted to the rear-end optical modulation device and the projection lens. The light source 501 may be a plurality of common cathode two-color lasers or a plurality of common anode two-color lasers, such as a blue laser and a red laser, or may be a plurality of common cathode three-color lasers or a plurality of common anode three-color lasers, including lasers of three luminous colors of red, green, and blue, for providing a three-color laser illumination beam.
[0076] The laser beam provided by the light source 501 is incident on the illumination optical path in the optical machine 502 after light combining and shaping. The optical modulator receives the driving control signal corresponding to the image signal, and flips the thousands of tiny mirrors on its surface to the positive or negative angle corresponding to the driving signal, thereby reflecting the light beam irradiating its surface into the lens 503.
[0077] The lens 503 may be an ultra-short-throw projection lens, and the ultra-short-throw projection lens 503 is used to project the image beam onto the projection screen, thereby realizing the projection image display. The laser projection device in the above example may be an ultra-short-throw laser projection device.
[0078] Based on the above Figure 5 Example laser projection device structure, Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the circuit architecture of a laser projection device according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0079] like Figure 6 As shown, the laser projection device includes: a display panel 001, a power panel 002, and a TV panel 003. The power panel 02 is connected to the display panel 001 and the TV panel 003, respectively, and can be used to power various devices or partial modules on the display panel 001 and the TV panel 003. The TV panel 003 is mainly used to decode external audio and video signals and output video image signals to the display panel 001.
[0080] The display panel 001 may be provided with a field programmable gate array (FPGA) and an algorithm processing module FPGA, which are used to process the input video image signal. The display control component 010 is connected to the algorithm processing module FPGA and is used to receive the processed video image processing signal data as the image data to be displayed. The display panel 001 is used to generate an initial driving signal for driving the laser and an image display driving signal for driving the light modulation device.
[0081] The display control component 010 is used to generate an image display driving signal for driving the light modulator 011 according to the image signal to be displayed. On the other hand, since the display of the projected image requires the synchronous coordination of the light source beam and the light modulator, the display control component 010 also generates a driving signal for driving the light source to emit light. The driving signal may include an initial image enable signal EN and an initial current control signal, such as a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal, wherein the initial image enable signal EN is a timing control signal for coordinating the timing of the output of different luminous colors, and the PWM signal is a periodic square wave signal for controlling the brightness of the laser.
[0082] The laser driving circuit 030 is used to receive the image enable signal EN and the PWM signal output by the display control component 010, and directly control the lighting of the laser 040. The signal shaping current 020 can be used to generate a periodic sub-signal, shape the image enable signal EN or the PWM signal, and affect the signal waveform and period finally output to the laser 040.
[0083] Figure 7a The structure of the laser projection device provided in this application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 ,like Figure 7a As shown, the laser projection device includes a display control component 701 , a laser driving component 702 and a laser component 703 .
[0084] The laser assembly 703 includes multiple lasers and multiple switch assemblies ( Figure 7aOnly two lasers and three switch components are shown, namely, common cathode three-color laser 704, common cathode three-color laser 705, switch component 706, switch component 707, switch component 708). Multiple lasers are common cathode lasers or common anode lasers, and multiple lasers are connected through multiple switch components.
[0085] The laser driving component 702 includes a plurality of constant current components ( Figure 7a Three constant current components are shown, namely, constant current component 709, constant current component 710 and constant current component 711); multiple constant current components are connected to the laser component, for example, in Figure 7a In the figure, the current output end of the constant current component 709 is connected to the anode of the red sub-laser of the common cathode three-color laser 704 in the laser component 703, the current output end of the constant current component 710 is connected to the anode of the green sub-laser of the common cathode three-color laser 704 in the laser component 703, the current output end of the constant current component 711 is connected to the anode of the blue sub-laser of the common cathode three-color laser 704 in the laser component 703, and the current return ends of the constant current components 709, 710 and 711 are connected to the common cathode of the common cathode three-color laser 705.
[0086] The display control component 701 is respectively connected to a plurality of constant current components and a plurality of switch components, and is used to output PWM signals and enable signals to the constant current components; and output enable signals to the switch components.
[0087] For example, in Figure 7a In the figure, the display control component 701 is connected to the constant current component 709, the constant current component 710 and the constant current component 711, and is connected to the switch component 706, the switch component 707 and the switch component 708; the display control component 701 outputs a red PWM signal R_PWM to the constant current component 709, outputs a green PWM signal G_PWM to the constant current component 710, and outputs a blue PWM signal B_PWM to the constant current component 711; outputs an enable signal R_EN corresponding to red to the constant current component 709 and the switch component 706, outputs an enable signal G_EN corresponding to green to the constant current component 710 and the switch component 707, and outputs an enable signal B_EN corresponding to blue to the constant current component 711 and the switch component 708.
[0088] The switch component is used to turn on multiple lasers when the received enable signal is a valid potential; the effective potential refers to a high potential, also called a high level.
[0089] The constant current component is used to drive the laser component to emit light according to the PWM signal when the received enable signal is a valid potential.
[0090] For example, Figure 7bThe timing diagram of the enable signal, PWM signal, and current provided in this application, the enable signal and the PWM signal are both periodic signals, Figure 7b The enable signal and PWM signal in one cycle are shown in Figure 7b As shown, in the R1 period within a cycle, the R1 period is also the laser working period of the red sub-laser. In the R1 period, the enable signal R_EN is high, the enable signal G_EN is low, the enable signal B_EN is low, the red PWM signal R_PWM is a square wave signal, the green PWM signal G_PWM is a low-level signal, and the blue PWM signal B_PWM is a low-level signal. In the R1 period, the current R_I flowing through the red sub-laser first increases from 0 and then becomes constant. In the period from the end of the R1 period to the beginning of the G1 period, the current R_I gradually decreases to 0.
[0091] During the G1 period in a cycle, the G1 period is also the laser working period of the green sub-laser. During the G1 period, the enable signal R_EN is low level, the enable signal G_EN is high level, the enable signal B_EN is low level, the red PWM signal R_PWM is a low level signal, the green PWM signal G_PWM is a square wave signal, and the blue PWM signal B_PWM is a low level signal. During the G1 period, the current G_I flowing through the green sub-laser first increases from 0 and then becomes constant. During the period from the end of the G1 period to the beginning of the B1 period, the current G_I gradually decreases to 0.
[0092] During the B1 period in a cycle, the B1 period is also the laser working period of the blue sub-laser. During the B1 period, the enable signal R_EN is low level, the enable signal G_EN is low level, the enable signal B_EN is high level, the red PWM signal R_PWM is a low level signal, the green PWM signal G_PWM is a low level signal, and the blue PWM signal B_PWM is a square wave signal. During the B1 period, the current B_I flowing through the blue sub-laser first increases from 0 and then becomes constant. During the period from the end of the B1 period to the beginning of the next R1 period, the current B_I gradually decreases to 0. The duty ratios of the red PWM signal R_PWM, the green PWM signal G_PWM and the blue PWM signal B_PWM can be the same or different.
[0093] For example, in Figure 7aIn the embodiment, when the enable signal R_EN received by the switch component 706 is at a high level, it is adjusted to the on state, so that the common cathode of the common cathode three-color laser 704 and the anode of the red sub-laser of the common cathode three-color laser 705 are turned on. At this time, the enable signal R_EN received by the constant current component 709 is at a high level, and according to the received R_PWM signal, the driving voltage is applied to the laser component, and the constant current component 709 outputs current through the current output terminal, and the current passes through the red sub-laser of the common cathode three-color laser 704, the switch component 706, and the red sub-laser of the common cathode three-color laser 705 in sequence, and then flows back to the constant current component 709 through the current return terminal of the constant current component 709, and the common cathode of the common cathode three-color laser 704 and the red sub-laser in the common cathode three-color laser 705 light up and emit red light.
[0094] When the enable signal G_EN received by the switch component 707 is at a high level, it is adjusted to the on state, so that the common cathode of the common cathode three-color laser 704 and the anode of the green sub-laser of the common cathode three-color laser 705 are turned on. At this time, the enable signal G_EN received by the constant current component 710 is at a high level, and according to the G_PWM signal it receives, the driving voltage is applied to the laser component, and the constant current component 710 outputs current through the current output terminal, and the current passes through the green sub-laser of the common cathode three-color laser 704, the switch component 706, and the green sub-laser of the common cathode three-color laser 705 in sequence, and then flows back to the constant current component 710 through the current return terminal of the constant current component 710, and the common cathode of the common cathode three-color laser 704 and the green sub-laser in the common cathode three-color laser 705 light up and emit green light.
[0095] When the enable signal B_EN received by the switch component 708 is at a high level, it is adjusted to the on state, so that the common cathode of the common cathode three-color laser 704 and the anode of the blue sub-laser of the common cathode three-color laser 705 are turned on. At this time, the enable signal B_EN received by the constant current component 711 is at a high level, and according to the B_PWM signal it receives, the driving voltage is applied to the laser component, and the constant current component 711 outputs current through the current output terminal, and the current passes through the blue sub-laser of the common cathode three-color laser 704, the switch component 706, and the blue sub-laser of the common cathode three-color laser 705 in sequence, and then flows back to the constant current component 711 through the current return terminal of the constant current component 711, and the common cathode of the common cathode three-color laser 704 and the blue sub-laser in the common cathode three-color laser 705 light up and emit blue light.
[0096] It should be noted that the laser projection device also includes a power supply, which is connected to the display control component and each constant current component to supply power to the display control component and each constant current component. Figure 7aAs shown, the laser projection device also includes a power supply 712 , which is connected to the display control component 701 , the constant current component 709 , the constant current component 710 , and the constant current component 711 .
[0097] The following is an explanation of the laser series connection.
[0098] If the laser in the laser projection device is a common cathode laser, then for the first laser and the second laser in the two lasers connected in series, the anode of the sub-laser in the second laser is respectively connected to the first end of the corresponding switch component; the second end of the switch component connected to the second laser is connected to the common cathode of the first laser.
[0099] For example, Figure 7a As shown, Figure 7a The laser shown is a common cathode three-color laser, the first laser is a common cathode three-color laser 704, the second laser is a common cathode three-color laser 705, the anode of the red sub-laser in the common cathode three-color laser 705 is connected to the first end of the switch component 706 corresponding to the red color, the anode of the green sub-laser in the common cathode three-color laser 705 is connected to the first end of the switch component 707 corresponding to the green color, the anode of the blue sub-laser in the common cathode three-color laser 705 is connected to the first end of the switch component 708 corresponding to the blue color, and the common cathode of the common cathode three-color laser 704 is respectively connected to the second ends of the switch components 706, 707, and 708.
[0100] It should be noted that the laser in the laser projection device can also be a common cathode two-color laser. Figure 7a On the basis of, for example, Figure 8 The structure of the laser projection device provided in this application is shown in FIG.

[0102] It should be noted that the sub-lasers in the common cathode two-color laser can also be a blue sub-laser and a green sub-laser, or a red sub-laser and a blue sub-laser. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the sub-lasers in the common cathode two-color laser and can be set according to actual conditions.
[0103] If the laser in the laser projection device is a common anode laser, then for the third laser and the fourth laser in the two series-connected lasers, the cathode of the neutron laser in the third laser is respectively connected to the first end of the corresponding switch component; the second end of the switch component connected to the third laser is connected to the common anode of the fourth laser.
[0104] For example, in Figure 7a On the basis of Fig. 9 Schematic diagram of the structure of the laser projection equipment provided for the application Figure 3 ,like Fig. 9 As shown, the lasers in the figure are common anode lasers, namely, common anode three-color laser 715 and common anode three-color laser 716. The current output ends of constant current components 709, 710 and 711 are connected to the common anode of the common anode three-color laser 715 in the laser component 703, the current return end of the constant current component 709 is connected to the cathode of the red sub-laser of the common anode three-color laser 716, the current return end of the constant current component 710 is connected to the cathode of the green sub-laser of the common anode three-color laser 716, and the current return end of the constant current component 711 is connected to the cathode of the blue sub-laser of the common anode three-color laser 716.
[0105] exist Fig. 9 In the embodiment, the third laser is a common anode three-color laser 715, the fourth laser is a common anode three-color laser 716, the cathode of the red sub-laser in the common anode three-color laser 715 is connected to the first end of the switch component 706 corresponding to the red color, the cathode of the green sub-laser in the common anode three-color laser 715 is connected to the first end of the switch component 707 corresponding to the green color, the cathode of the blue sub-laser in the common anode three-color laser 715 is connected to the first end of the switch component 708 corresponding to the blue color, and the common cathode of the common anode three-color laser 716 is respectively connected to the second ends of the switch components 706, 707, and 708.
[0106] When the enable signal R_EN received by the switch component 706 is at a high level, the switch component 706 is adjusted to a conducting state, so that the cathode of the red sub-laser of the common anode three-color laser 715 is connected to the common anode of the common anode three-color laser 716.

[0107] When the enable signal R_EN received by the constant current component 709 is at a high level, a driving voltage is applied to the laser component according to the received R_PWM signal, and the constant current component 709 outputs current through the current output terminal. The current passes through the red sub-laser of the common anode three-color laser 715, the switch component 706, and the red sub-laser of the common anode three-color laser 716 in sequence, and then flows back to the constant current component 709 through the current return terminal of the constant current component 709. The common cathode of the common anode three-color laser 715 and the red sub-laser in the common anode three-color laser 716 light up and emit red light. Since when the enable signal R_EN received by the constant current component 709 is at a high level, the enable signal R_EN received by the constant current component 710 and the constant current component 711 is at a high level or a low level, the constant current component 710 and the constant current component 711 will not receive the current from the common anode three-color laser 716, so the common cathode of the common anode three-color laser 715 and the green sub-laser and the blue sub-laser in the common anode three-color laser 716 will not light up.

Each laser is a common cathode laser or a common anode laser. Every two lasers are connected by a switch component corresponding to each light emitting color of the laser, so that the series connection of common cathode lasers or common anode lasers can be realized, so that the currents of the plurality of common cathode lasers or common anode lasers are consistent, and thus the brightness of the displayed picture is consistent; the use of a plurality of lasers makes the brightness of the displayed picture higher; the use of a constant current component according to the number of light emitting colors of the laser can effectively reduce the number of chips, reduce costs, facilitate miniaturization, and reduce the common magnetic interference generated.

[0131] For example, in Fig.13 On the basis of Fig.14 Schematic diagram of the local circuit structure for driving the red sub-laser provided in this application Figure 1 ,like Fig.14 As shown, the voltage regulating component 720 is a Buck circuit, which includes a switch component, a diode and an inductor.
[0132] The first end of the switch component is the current return output end of the voltage regulating component, the second end of the switch component is connected to the positive electrode of the diode, the second end of the switch component is the current return end of the voltage regulating component, and the control end of the switch component is the control end of the voltage regulating unit component. The cathode of the diode is connected to the first end of the inductor, the first end of the inductor is the current input end of the voltage regulating component, and the second end of the inductor is the current output end of the voltage regulating unit.
[0133] The constant current chip sends a control signal to the control end of the switch component. When the control signal is an effective potential (high level), the switch component is turned on; when the control signal is an invalid potential (low level), the switch component is turned off. By adjusting the duration of the effective potential and the invalid potential, the duration of the switch component being turned on and off can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the duty cycle and adjusting the voltage. The Buck circuit is a step-down circuit.
[0134] The Buck circuit reduces the voltage provided by the constant current chip to the operating voltage of the laser, so that the laser can work normally under a constant current.
[0135] It should be noted that the Buck circuit may further include a capacitor, one end of the capacitor is connected to the second end of the inductor, and the other end of the capacitor is connected to the anode of the diode.
[0136] It should be noted that Fig.14 It is only an example to illustrate the voltage regulating component in the current driving the red sub-laser. When the voltage regulating component is a Buck circuit, other voltage regulating components in the laser projection device are also Buck circuits, which will not be described in detail here.
[0137] For example, in Fig.13 On the basis of Fig.15 Schematic diagram of the local circuit structure for driving the red sub-laser provided in this application Figure 2 ,like Fig.15 As shown, the voltage regulating component 720 is a Boost circuit, which includes a switch component, a diode and an inductor.
[0138] The first end of the switch component is the current return output end of the voltage regulating component and also the current return end of the voltage regulating component. The second end of the switch component is connected to the positive electrode of the diode and the first end of the inductor. The control end of the switch component is the control end of the voltage regulating component. The cathode of the diode is the current output end of the voltage regulating component, and the second end of the inductor is the current input end of the voltage regulating component.
[0139] The constant current chip sends a control signal to the control end of the switch component. When the control signal is an effective potential (high level), the switch component is turned on; when the control signal is an invalid potential (low level), the switch component is turned off. By adjusting the duration of the effective potential and the invalid potential, the duration of the switch component being turned on and off can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the duty cycle and adjusting the voltage. The Boost circuit is a boost circuit.
[0140] The Boost circuit increases the voltage provided by the constant current chip to the operating voltage of the laser, so that the laser can work normally under a constant current.
[0141] It should be noted that the Boost circuit may further include a capacitor, one end of the capacitor is connected to the cathode of the diode, and the other end of the capacitor is connected to the first end of the switch component.
[0142] It should be noted that Fig.15 It is only an example to illustrate the voltage regulating component in the current driving the red sub-laser. When the voltage regulating component is a Boost circuit, other voltage regulating components in the laser projection device are also Boost circuits, which will not be described in detail here.
[0143] For example, in Fig.13 On the basis of Fig.16 Schematic diagram of the local circuit structure for driving the red sub-laser provided in this application Figure 3 ,like Fig.16 As shown, the voltage regulating component 720 is a Buck-Boost circuit, which includes a switch component, a diode and an inductor.
[0144] The first end of the switch component is the current return output end of the voltage regulating component, the second end of the switch component is connected to the first end of the inductor, the second end of the switch component is the current return end of the voltage regulating component, and the control end of the switch component is the control end of the voltage regulating component. The second end of the inductor is connected to the cathode of the diode, the cathode of the diode is the current input end of the voltage regulating unit, and the anode of the diode is the current output end of the voltage regulating unit.
[0145] The constant current chip sends a control signal to the control end of the switch component. When the control signal is an effective potential (high level), the switch component is turned on; when the control signal is an invalid potential (low level), the switch component is turned off. By adjusting the duration of the effective potential and the invalid potential, the duration of the switch component being turned on and off can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the duty cycle and the voltage. The Buck-Boost circuit can both boost and reduce the voltage.
[0146] When the voltage provided by the constant current chip is different from the operating voltage of the laser, the Buck-Boost circuit adjusts the voltage provided by the constant current chip to the operating voltage of the laser, so that the laser can work normally under a constant current.
[0147] It should be noted that the Buck-Boost circuit may further include a capacitor, one end of the capacitor is connected to the anode of the diode, and the other end of the capacitor is connected to the second end of the switch tube.
[0148] It should be noted that Fig.16 It is only an example to illustrate the voltage regulating component in the current driving the red sub-laser. When the voltage regulating component is a Buck-Boost circuit, other voltage regulating components in the laser projection device are also Buck-Boost circuits, which will not be described in detail here.
[0149] It should be noted that the switching tube in the voltage regulating component can be a MOS tube, a triode, or an electronic device or circuit that can be turned on and off according to the level of the control signal. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the switching tube in the voltage regulating component and can be set according to actual conditions.
[0150] The laser projection device provided in this embodiment can accurately control the current value flowing into multiple lasers through the constant current chip and voltage regulating component in the constant current component, keep the current stable, and can also adjust the voltage to ensure that the laser can operate at the working voltage, and also ensure the safe operation of the laser projection device. In addition, there are fewer constant current components in this solution, and the switch components therein are correspondingly fewer, which can effectively reduce costs, reduce occupied volume, reduce energy loss, and reduce common magnetic interference.

[0157] S1701: Acquire a laser working period, a target switch component among multiple switch components, and a target constant current component among multiple constant current components.
[0158] In this step, in order to display the image, within one cycle, each sub-laser in the laser lights up during its laser working period, so the display control component needs to obtain the working period, the target switch component among multiple switch components, and the target constant current component among multiple constant current components.
[0159] S1702: During the laser operation period, the enable signal output to the target switch component and the target constant current component is controlled to be a valid potential.
[0160] In this step, after the display control component obtains the working period, the target switch component and the target constant current component, the enable signal output to the target switch component and the target constant current component is controlled to be a valid potential during the laser working period.
[0161] When the target switch tube receives an enable signal of valid potential, it is adjusted to the on state to turn on the two lasers connected to the target switch tube. When the target constant current component receives an enable signal of valid potential, it loads a driving voltage to the laser component according to the PWM signal and outputs current to the laser component. The current flows through the target sub-laser and the target switch component of each laser in the laser component and then flows back to the target constant current component, and the target sub-laser emits light.
[0162] S1703: monitor whether the laser working period has ended; if it is monitored that the laser working period has not ended, execute step S1702; if it is monitored that the laser working period has ended, execute step S1704.
[0163] S1704: Control the enable signal output to the target switch component and the target constant current component to be an invalid potential.
[0164] In the above steps, the display control component detects whether the laser working period has ended; if it is detected that the laser working period has not ended, it means that it is still in the laser working period and the laser needs to work, then step S1702 is executed; if it is detected that the laser working period has ended, then when the display control component ends the laser working period, the enable signal output to the target switch component and the target constant current component is controlled to be an invalid potential (low potential, also called a low level).
[0165] When the target switch tube receives an invalid enable signal, it is adjusted to the disconnected state, disconnecting the two lasers connected to the target switch tube. When the target constant current component receives an invalid enable signal, it stops loading the drive voltage to the laser component, stops outputting current to the laser component, and the target sub-laser in the laser component is extinguished.
