Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention generally relates to the field of electronic device technology, and more specifically to a display device with dual Type-C interfaces. Background Technology

[0002] With the expansion of functions in consumer electronics devices, the Type-C interface has become the mainstream interface solution for tablet devices due to its support for multiple functions such as charging, data transfer, and screen mirroring. However, most tablets are currently equipped with only a single Type-C interface, which has pain points such as "unable to connect external devices while charging" and "mutual exclusion between screen mirroring and data transfer"; a few tablets with dual Type-C interfaces have problems such as redundant interface functions, wasted hardware resources, and power conflicts caused by the simultaneous operation of two interfaces.

[0003] In existing technologies, the circuit design of dual Type-C interfaces typically adopts an architecture of "completely independent interface functions," requiring a separate CC detection chip and signal processing circuit for each interface, which increases hardware costs and motherboard area. At the same time, the lack of hardware-level interlocking control makes it prone to faults such as power short circuits and signal disorder when both interfaces are connected to devices simultaneously. In addition, most solutions do not achieve efficient multiplexing of interface signals, resulting in the need for the main controller to configure multiple USB / DP channels, which increases the cost of main controller selection.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dual Type-C interface circuit system that is "functionally complementary, resource-reusable, and securely interlocked." This system can achieve independent charging, data transmission, and screen projection functions for both interfaces, while reducing costs and improving safety through the reuse of core chip resources and hardware-level interlock control. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the technical problem that existing dual Type-C interface circuit systems and devices cannot achieve "functional complementarity, resource reuse, and security interlocking," a display device with dual Type-C interfaces is provided.

[0086] In some examples, the P1 Type-C interface submodule 21b may include a VBUS power input pin VBUS_P1, which is used to carry charging / supply current.

[0087] In some examples, the P1 Type-C interface submodule 21b may include a surge protection device EOS, which absorbs transient high voltages of ±300V (such as surges from plugging and unplugging a charger) to protect the power supply circuitry. The surge protection device EOS may be connected to pin 1 of the Type-C female connector J2901.

The two pins of the anode of TVS diodes D2901 and D2902 are grounded, and the cathode of TVS diodes D2901 and D2902 is connected to pin 1 of the Type-C female connector J2901.

[0090] In some examples, the P1 Type-C interface submodule 21b may include TVS diodes T2801, T2802, T2803, and T2804, which are used to protect the signal pins (USB_P1_DP, USB_P1_DN, USB_P1_SBU1, USB_P1_SBU2) of the Type-C female connector J2901, absorbing electrostatic discharge and preventing damage to the signal pins. The anodes of TVS diodes T2801, T2802, T2803, and T2804 are grounded.

[0101] Reference Figure 9 The dual Type-C interface signal switching module 22 can be a signal multiplexing and switching circuit for two Type-C interfaces, used to realize the sharing of main control resources between the two interfaces.

[0102] In some examples, the dual Type-C interface signal switching module 22 may include an analog switch U1608, which is a two-to-one switch that controls the signal path through the S signal terminal and the / OE signal terminal. Specifically, when S=0, pins 4 (HSD1+) and 5 (HSD1-) of the analog switch U1608 are turned on, selecting the signal of the P0 Type-C interface (e.g., when a USB flash drive or monitor is plugged into the P0 Type-C interface, the signal goes through the P0 Type-C interface path); when S=1, pins 6 (HSD2-) and 7 (HSD2+) of the analog switch U1608 are turned on, selecting the signal of the P1 Type-C interface (e.g., when a USB flash drive or monitor is plugged into the P1 Type-C interface, the signal goes through the P1 Type-C interface path); when / OE=1, all paths are closed (no device is connected, saving power).

[0103] The model number of the analog switch U1608 can be U_SGM7227_UTQFN.

[0106] Figure 10 This is a functional block diagram illustrating the screen projection implementation involved in the example of the present invention.

[0107] In some examples, the screen projection function from an external device to the display device 1 can be implemented through the P0 Type-C interface 40a and the P0 Type-C interface submodule 21a.

[0108] Reference Figure 10 The dual Type-C interface circuit 2 may also include a CC detection chip 5, an interface conversion chip 51, and an audio output module 52.

[0109] In some examples, the output of the P0 Type-C interface submodule 21a can be connected to the DP projection module 23. The first output of the DP projection module 23 can be connected to the interface conversion chip 51, and the output of the interface conversion chip 51 can be connected to the main control module 3. The second output of the DP projection module 23 can be connected to the audio output module 52, and the output of the audio output module 52 can be connected to the main control module 3. The P0 Type-C interface submodule 21a is interconnected with the CC detection chip 50, and the CC detection chip 50 is interconnected with the main control module.

[0110] In some instances, the P0 Type-C interface submodule 21a is responsible for receiving high-definition audio and video signals transmitted by external devices (such as computers and mobile phones) via the DP protocol.

[0111] In some instances, the signals transmitted by the P0 Type-C interface submodule 21a may include a DP Data Lane (four high-speed video data channels), an AUX channel (for device negotiation and control), and a CC channel (for detecting and configuring the connection status of the P0 Type-C interface). The CC channel can be connected to a CC detection chip 50. In some examples, the CC detection chip 50 can be an AW35615 chip, which is a CC logic control chip responsible for managing the connection detection, role recognition, and power negotiation of the Type-C interface.

[0113] In some examples, the data output to the interface conversion chip 51 may include a Clock and a Data Lane.

[0114] In some examples, the DP projection module 23 can be an LT7911D projection chip. In some examples, the interface conversion chip 51 can be a MIPI CSI-1 bridge chip. In some examples, the main control module 3 can be a main control chip MT8391.

[0115] In some examples, the CC detection chip 50 can be interconnected with the main control module 3 via an I2C bus.

[0116] Figure 11 This is a circuit diagram of the P0 power protection submodule 29a according to an example of the present invention.

[0117] Reference Figure 11 The P0 power protection submodule 29a is the core circuit of the display device 1 that receives external power charging through the P0 Type-C interface 40a. It is responsible for safely transmitting the voltage input from the external charger to the charging management module 24, and at the same time realizes functions such as overvoltage protection and access detection.

[0118] In some examples, the P0 power protection submodule 29a may include a power switch chip U2802. The core function of the power switch chip U2802 is to control the "on / off" of the VBUS power supply. It can support a maximum current of 5A (meeting fast charging requirements).

[0119] Pins B2, C2, D2, E1, E2, and B3 of the power switch chip U2802 can be interconnected and connected to the power supply VBUS_P0.

[0120] The pin connections of the power switch chip U2802 include at least one of the following: the power input terminal VBUS_P0 is used to connect to the VBUS power supply of an external charger; the power output terminals VBUS1 to VBUS5 are used to connect to the VBUS input of the charging management module 24; the enable terminal EN_L is used to receive the enable signal from the main control module 3 to control the chip to turn on / off; and the overvoltage detection terminal OVLO is used to connect to a voltage divider circuit to detect whether the VBUS voltage exceeds the limit. The main control enable signal TYPEC_P0_EN is output by the main control module 3 and is used to control the power path to turn on / off.

[0121] In some examples, the P0 power protection submodule 29a may include MOSFETs Q2802 and Q2805, which are used to amplify the master control enable signal and drive the EN_L pin of the power switch chip U2802. The gate of MOSFET Q2802, the drain of MOSFET Q2805, and the master control enable signal TYPEC_P0_EN are interconnected. The gate of MOSFET Q2805 is connected to the drive signal USB_DRV_VBUS. The source of MOSFET Q2802 is grounded, and the source of MOSFET Q2805 is also grounded.

[0122] In some examples, the P0 power protection submodule 29a may include resistors R2807 and R2808, which are used to connect the power supply VIO18_PMU to provide operating voltage for the MOSFET.

[0123] In some examples, the P0 power protection submodule 29a may include a resistor R2809, which is a pull-down resistor for the MOSFET to ensure stable signal levels when the signal is idle.

[0124] In some examples, the P0 power protection submodule 29a may include a voltage divider circuit composed of resistors R2811 and R2810, which is used to detect the VBUS voltage. When the VBUS voltage exceeds the threshold, the voltage divider signal triggers the OVLO pin of the power switch chip U2802, and the chip automatically cuts off the power supply path to achieve overvoltage protection. One end of resistor R2811 and one end of resistor R2810 are interconnected and connected to pin B3 of the power switch chip U2802, the other end of resistor R2810 is connected to the power supply VBUS_P0, and the other end of resistor R2811 is grounded.

[0125] In some examples, the P0 power protection submodule 29a may include capacitor C2808, which is a filter capacitor for the VBUS power supply used to stabilize the input voltage. One end of capacitor C2808 is connected to pin B2 of the power switch chip U2802, and the other end is grounded.

[0126] In some examples, the P0 power protection submodule 29a may include capacitor C2814, which is a filter capacitor for the detection signal to ensure the stability of the TYPEC_P0_PRESENT_1 signal level. One end of capacitor C2814 is connected to pin A1 of the power switch chip U2802, and the other end is grounded.

[0127] In some examples, the P0 power protection submodule 29a may include resistor R2812, which is a pull-up resistor for the TYPEC_P0_PRESENT_1 signal to ensure the validity of the signal output. One end of resistor R2812 is connected to pin A2 of the power switch chip U2802, and the other end is connected to the power supply VIO18_PMU.

[0128] When the charger is connected to the P0 Type-C interface 40a, the TYPEC_P0_PRESENT_1 signal outputs a high level, feeding back the status "P0 Type-C interface 40a is charging" to the main controller.

[0129] The VBUS power from the external charger is input through the power input terminal VBUS_P0, filtered by capacitor C2808, and then enters the power switch chip U2802. The main control module 3 outputs the TYPEC_P0_EN_N signal, which is amplified by MOSFETs Q2802 and Q2805 and drives the EN_L pin of the power switch chip U2802 to turn on the power supply. The voltage divider circuit composed of resistors R2811 and R2810 monitors the VBUS voltage in real time. If the voltage exceeds the limit, it triggers the OVLO pin of the power switch chip U2802 to cut off the power. After the external charger is connected, the TYPEC_P0_PRESENT_1 signal outputs a high level to feed back the charging status to the main control module. Pins VBUS1 to VBUS5 of the power switch chip U2802 deliver stable VBUS power to the charging management module 24 to complete the charging process.

[0130] In some examples, the circuit structure of the P1 power protection submodule 29b can be identical to that of the P0 power protection submodule 29a. In other words, the two differ only in their corresponding interfaces, device numbers, and output signals; their functional logic and operating principles are completely identical.

[0131] In some examples, the P0 power protection submodule 29a and the P1 power protection submodule 29b can be configured in parallel. They are responsible for power protection of the P0 Type-C interface 40a and the P1 Type-C interface 40b, respectively.

[0132] Figure 12 This is a circuit diagram showing the P1 detection and device identification submodule 25b involved in the example of the present invention.

[0133] Reference Figure 12The P1 detection and device identification submodule 25b is the "CC detection and power control circuit" of the P1 Type-C interface 40b. Its core function is to identify the type of device connected to the P1 Type-C interface (such as a charger, USB flash drive or monitor) and control the power path of the interface. It is a key module for the P1 Type-C interface to realize "intelligent adaptation of peripherals".

[0134] The CC pin of the P1 Type-C interface 40b performs three tasks through signal interaction: ① Detecting device access: Determining whether an external device (such as a charger or USB flash drive) is plugged into the P1 Type-C interface; ② Identifying device type: Distinguishing between a "charger", a "data device (USB flash drive)", or a "display device (monitor)"; ③ Controlling power path: Turning on / adjusting the interface's power output according to the device type (e.g., turning on the charging power when a charger is plugged in).

[0135] In some examples, the P1 detection and device identification submodule 25b may include a detection chip U2903, which communicates with peripherals via the CC1 and CC2 pins, identifies the device type, and outputs control signals.

[0136] Specifically, the VCONN pin of the detection chip U2903 can be used to power the E-Marker chip (the identifier of high-speed peripherals) of the P1 Type-C interface, ensuring that high-speed devices (such as USB 3.2 flash drives) can be recognized.

[0137] In some examples, the P1 detection and device identification submodule 25b may include a power supply chip U2902, which provides a stable operating power supply (EXT_VDD3V3) to the detection chip U2903 to ensure the reliability of the detection function.

[0138] In some examples, the P1 detection and device identification submodule 25b may include capacitors C2913 and C2914, which are power supply filters used to reduce the interference of voltage fluctuations on the detection chip. One end of capacitor C2913 is grounded, and the other end is connected to pin 4 of the power chip U2902; one end of capacitor C2913 is grounded, and the other end is connected to pin 1 of the power chip U2902.

[0139] The I2C communication pins SDA and SCL of the detection chip U2903 are used to enable the CC detection chip U2903 to communicate with the main control module 3 and tell the main control module 3 the "external device type".

[0140] The interrupt signal pin INT_N of the detection chip U2903 is used to send an "interrupt signal" to the main control module 3 when an external device is inserted / removed from the P1 Type-C interface 40b, so that the main control module 3 can respond in time (such as starting the charging process when the charger is plugged in).

[0141] In some examples, the P0 detection and device identification submodule 25a can perform the same functions as the P1 detection and device identification submodule 25b. The P0 detection and device identification submodule 25a can be an AW35615CSR detection chip.

[0142] Figure 13 This is a circuit diagram of the P0 device access detection submodule 26a according to an example of the present invention.

[0143] Reference Figure 13 The P0 device access detection submodule 26a is used to detect whether the P0 Type-C interface 40a is connected to an external device (such as a charger or USB flash drive), and feeds back the "access status" to the main control module 3.

[0144] In some examples, the P0 device access detection submodule 26a may include a MOSFET Q2901, which is a state switching switch. When the power supply VBUS_P0 has voltage, the MOSFET Q2901 is turned on.

[0145] In some examples, the P0 device access detection submodule 26a may include resistors R1664 and R2925. These are used to divide the high voltage (e.g., 5V / 20V) of VBUS_P0, converting it to a safe level recognizable by the MOSFET Q2901 (to prevent high voltage damage to the MOSFET). One end of resistor R1664 is connected to the power supply VBUS_P0, and the other end of resistor R1664, one end of resistor R2925, and the gate interconnect of the MOSFET Q2901 are also connected.

[0146] In some examples, the P0 device access detection submodule 26a may include resistors R2922 and R2923, which form a voltage divider resistor to divide the power supply VIO18_PMU (system low voltage), providing a stable control level for the gate of MOSFET Q2901 and ensuring reliable turn-on / off of the MOSFET. One end of resistor R2922 is connected to the power supply VIO18_PMU, and the other end of resistor R2922 is connected to the drain of MOSFET Q2901; one end of resistor R2923 is connected to the source of MOSFET Q2901, and the other end of resistor R2923 is grounded.

[0147] The detection signal USB1_VBUS_VALID is used to provide feedback information to the main control module 3. When this signal is "low level", it means that the P0 Type-C interface 40a has been connected to the device.

[0148] In some examples, the circuit structure of the P1 device access detection submodule 26b can be the same as that of the P0 device access detection submodule 26a. In other words, the two differ only in their corresponding interfaces, device numbers, and output signals; their functional logic and working principles are completely identical.

[0149] In some examples, the P0 device access detection submodule 26a and the P1 device access detection submodule 26b can be configured in parallel. They can respectively handle device access detection for the P0 Type-C interface 40a and the P1 Type-C interface 40b.

[0150] Figure 14 This is a circuit diagram of the dual-interface interlock control module 27 involved in the example of the present invention.

[0151] Reference Figure 14 The dual-interface interlock control module 27 is a "hardware interlock selection circuit" for dual Type-C interfaces. It is the core anti-conflict module for the dual Type-C interfaces of display device 1. It realizes the "mutual exclusion operation" of the two Type-C interfaces P0 and P1 through hardware logic to avoid power / signal conflicts when the devices are connected at the same time.

[0152] Specifically, when an external device is connected to the P0 Type-C interface 40a, the power / signal path to the P1 Type-C interface 40b is automatically cut off; when a device is connected to the P1 Type-C interface 40b, the path to the P0 Type-C interface is automatically cut off. This avoids power short circuits (e.g., when two chargers are supplying power simultaneously) and signal interference (e.g., when two peripherals are transmitting data simultaneously) caused by the simultaneous operation of both interfaces.

[0153] Interlocking core: The MOSFET Q2804 is turned on / off by controlling the voltage states of VBUS_P0 and VBUS_P1: If the P0 Type-C interface is connected to the charger (i.e., VBUS_P0 has voltage), the MOSFET Q2804 is turned on, pulling down the TYPEC_P1_EN_N voltage, thereby cutting off the power path of the P1 Type-C interface; if the P1 Type-C interface 40b is connected to the charger (i.e., VBUS_P1 has voltage), the TYPEC_P0_EN_N voltage will be pulled down similarly, cutting off the path of the P0 Type-C interface 40a.

[0154] In some examples, the dual-interface interlock control module 27 may include diodes D2806 and D2808, which are used to isolate the VBUS power supply of P0 Type-C interface 40a and P1 Type-C interface 40b, prevent the VBUS power supply from flowing back into the interlock circuit, and protect the MOSFET and control signal.

[0155] In some examples, the dual-interface interlock control module 27 may also include diodes D2807 and D2809. Diodes D2807 and D2809 are marked "NC" (not connected) and actually serve as redundant isolation.

[0156] The anode of diode D2806 is connected to power supply VBUS_P0, and the cathode is connected to the gate of MOSFET Q2804. The anode of diode D2808 is connected to power supply VBUS_P1, and the cathode is connected to the drain of MOSFET Q2804.

[0157] In some examples, the dual-interface interlock control module 27 may include resistors R2831 and R2832, which form a voltage divider circuit to divide the voltage of the P0 Type-C interface, converting the high voltage into a safe trigger voltage for the MOSFET Q2804. When there is voltage on the P0 Type-C interface 40a VBUS, the voltage divider signal triggers the MOSFET Q2804 to conduct and cuts off the enable signal of the other interface.

[0158] One end of resistor R2831 is connected to the cathode of diode D2806. One end of resistor R2832 is grounded. The other ends of resistors R2831 and R2832 are interconnected with the gate of MOSFET Q2804.

[0159] Similarly, resistors R2836 and R2837 form a voltage divider circuit to divide the voltage of the P1 Type-C interface 40b, converting the high voltage into the safe trigger voltage of the MOSFET Q2804. Further details are omitted here.

[0160] One end of resistor R2836 is connected to the cathode of diode D2808. One end of resistor R2837 is grounded. The other ends of resistors R2836 and R2837 are interconnected with the drain of MOSFET Q2804. The source of MOSFET Q2804 is grounded.

[0161] In some examples, the dual-interface interlock control module 27 may include capacitors C2812 and C2813, which are used to filter the interlock control signal to prevent false triggering caused by high-frequency noise.

[0162] VIO18_PMU is the system power supply, providing a stable operating level for the interlock circuit.

[0163] Figure 15 This is a circuit diagram showing the P0 power supply output module 41a according to an example of the present invention.

[0164] Reference Figure 15The P0 power supply output module 41a is an "external power supply step-down circuit" for the P0 Type-C interface 40a. Its core function is to step down the VBAT battery voltage inside the display device 1 and convert it to the external power supply voltage VBUS_P0 (supporting the P0 Type-C interface 40a to power peripherals). For example, it can step down the VBAT_8V battery voltage to the VBUS_P0 5.1V external power supply voltage.

[0165] In some examples, the power conversion chip U2801 can be a DC-DC buck converter. The power conversion chip U2801 can be used to step down an 8V input voltage to a 5.1V output.

[0166] The VIN pin (pin 5) of the U2801 power converter chip can be used to input the VBAT_8V battery voltage. The EN pin (pin 4) of the U2801 power converter chip can be used to receive the USB1_DRV_VBUS signal to control the chip's start and stop. The LX pin (pin 6) of the U2801 power converter chip can be used to connect an inductor to achieve voltage conversion. The FB pin (pin 3) of the U2801 power converter chip can be used to adjust the output voltage through a voltage divider resistor. The GND pin (pin 2) and the BS pin (pin 1) of the U2801 power converter chip are used to ensure stable chip operation.

[0167] In some examples, the P0 power supply output module 41a may include capacitor C2802, which is used as an input filter capacitor to stabilize the VBAT_8V voltage and reduce power supply noise.

[0168] In some examples, the P0 power supply output module 41a may include a resistor R2801 for connecting the input power link, while also providing debugging flexibility.

[0169] In some examples, the P0 power output module 41a may include a voltage divider circuit consisting of resistors R2909 and R2803, which, together with the enable pin EN, controls the chip to be enabled (the power conversion chip U2801 is started when the USB1_DRV_VBUS signal is triggered).

[0170] In some examples, the P0 power supply output module 41a may include an inductor L2800, which is an energy storage inductor that works with the switching action of the power conversion chip U2801 to achieve voltage reduction.

[0171] In some examples, the P0 power supply output module 41a may include a capacitor C2803, which is a bootstrap capacitor to increase the switching voltage range of pin LX and ensure conversion efficiency.

[0172] In some examples, the P0 power supply output module 41a may include a diode D2805, which is a freewheeling diode used to provide a current path during the discharge phase of the inductor L2800 to avoid voltage spikes.

[0173] In some examples, the P0 power supply output module 41a may include capacitors C2804, C2805, C2806, and C2807, which are output filter capacitors. These can be used to smooth the 5.1V output voltage and reduce ripple.

[0174] In some examples, the P0 power supply output module 41a may include a voltage divider feedback circuit consisting of resistors R2804 and R2805. It can stabilize the output voltage at 5.1V via the feedback pin FB.

[0175] In some examples, the P0 power supply output module 41a may include a resistor R2806, which is an output pull-down resistor to ensure that the output voltage level is stable when idle.

[0176] The USB1_DRV_VBUS signal is the enable signal output by the main control module 3, which is used to control the start and stop of the power conversion chip U2801 (this signal triggers the chip to work when the P0 Type-C interface needs to supply power externally).

[0177] Pin 1 of the power converter chip U2801 is connected to one end of capacitor C2803; the other end of capacitor C2803, pin 6 of the power converter chip U2801, and one end of inductor L2800 are interconnected; the other end of inductor L2800, one end of capacitor C2804, one end of resistor R2804, one end of capacitor C2805, one end of capacitor C2806, one end of capacitor C2807, and the anode of diode D2805 are interconnected; the cathode of diode D2805 is connected to one end of resistor R2806 and connected to signal VBUS_P0; the other end of resistor R2806 is grounded; pin 3 of the power converter chip U2801, the other end of capacitor C2804, and the other end of resistor R2804 are interconnected. One end of resistor R2805 is interconnected; the other end of resistor R2805 is grounded; the other ends of capacitors C2805, C2806, and C2807 are grounded; pin 2 of power conversion chip U2801 is grounded; pin 5 of power conversion chip U2801, one end of resistor R2801, and one end of capacitor C2802 are interconnected and connected to power supply VBAT; the other end of capacitor C2802 is grounded; pin 4 of power conversion chip U2801, the other end of resistor R2801, one end of resistor R2803, and one end of resistor R2909 are interconnected; the other end of resistor R2803 is grounded; the other end of resistor R2909 is connected to signal USB1_DRV_VBUS.

[0178] When the P0 Type-C interface 40a needs to supply power to a peripheral device, the USB1_DRV_VBUS signal triggers the power conversion chip U2801 to start. The power supply VBAT_8V is converted to 5.1V by the power conversion chip U2801 and the inductor L2800, filtered and output through VBUS_P0 to enable the P0 interface to supply power to the external device.

[0179] In some examples, the circuit structure of the P1 power output module 41b can be the same as that of the P0 power output module 41a; a detailed description of the P1 power output module 41b is omitted here. In other words, the two differ only in their corresponding interfaces, device numbers, and output signals; their functional logic and operating principles are completely identical.

[0180] In some examples, the P0 power output module 41a and the P1 power output module 41b can be configured in parallel. They can respectively provide power to the P0 Type-C interface 40a and the P1 Type-C interface 40b.

[0181] Figure 16 This is a structural schematic diagram showing one angle of the display device 1 involved in the example of the present invention. Figure 17 This is a structural schematic diagram showing another angle of the display device 1 involved in the example of the present invention.

[0182] Reference Figures 16 to 17 The display device of the present invention further includes a housing 10, a display screen disposed on the front side of the housing 10, a support member 20 disposed on the back side of the housing 10 and rotatably connected to the housing 10, and a rotating shaft module 30 connecting the housing 10 and the support member 20.

[0183] In some examples, the support member 20 may have a first auxiliary support edge 201 and a second auxiliary support edge 202. The housing may have a first main support edge 101 and a second main support edge 102. The first auxiliary support edge 201 and the first main support edge 101 cooperate to realize the horizontal placement of the display device 1, and the second auxiliary support edge 202 and the second main support edge 102 cooperate to realize the vertical placement of the display device 1.

[0184] In some examples, the support member 20 may have a separating edge 203. The separating edge 203 may form an angle with the second auxiliary support edge 202.

[0185] In some examples, the housing may have a receiving area 11. The support member 20 can fit into the receiving area 11 when closed. In this case, when the support member 20 is closed, that is, when the support member 20 and the housing 10 are combined, the support member 20 can fit completely into the receiving area 11 to form part of the housing 10, thereby improving the aesthetics without taking up additional area when the support member 20 is closed.

[0186] In some examples, a fixing block 210 may be provided on the support member 20. The fixing block 210 may be fixedly connected to the pivot module 30 (described in detail later).

[0187] In some examples, the separation angle between the support member 20 and the housing 10 can range from 0° to 120°. In other words, the support transformation of the display device 1 can be achieved within an angle range of 0° to 120°. Preferably, the separation angle between the support member 20 and the housing 10 can range from 0° to 60°.

[0188] Figure 18 This is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the combination of the rotating shaft module and the partial support member involved in the example of the present invention. Figure 19 This is a schematic diagram of the rotating shaft module structure involved in the example of the present invention. Figure 20 This is a schematic diagram showing the structure of the fastener 35 involved in the example of the present invention.

[0189] Reference Figure 18 and Figure 19 Therefore, the present invention provides a hinge module 30. The hinge module 30 can be applied to the above-mentioned display device 1, specifically between the support member 20 and the outer shell 10, so as to realize multi-angle separation of the support member 20 and the outer shell 10.

[0190] To this end, the present invention also provides a pivot module 30, which may include a first movable module 31, a second movable module 32, and a fixed module 33.

[0191] In some examples, the first active module 31 can be rotatably connected to the second active module 32, and the second active module 32 can be slidably connected to the fixed module 33.

[0192] In some examples, the first active module 31 may include a first rotating body 310 and a first rotating shaft disposed at the bottom end of the first rotating body 310. The second active module 32 may include a second rotating body 321 and a sliding shaft 320 disposed at the other end of the second rotating body 321, with the first active module 31 rotatably connected to one end of the second rotating body 321 via the first rotating shaft. The fixed module 33 may have a sliding area 330, with the second active module 32 slidably connected to the fixed module 33 via the sliding of the sliding shaft 320 in the sliding area 330. In this case, by connecting the first active module 31 and the fixed module 33 with the second active module 32, and by the rotation of the second active module 32 at the end of the first active module 31 and the sliding of the second active module 32 at the end of the fixed module 33, multi-angle separation between the first active module 31 and the fixed module 33 can be achieved.

[0193] In some examples, the pivot module 30 may also include a fastener 35 fixedly connected to the fixed module 33, and a slider 34 (movably or fixedly connected to the first rotating body 310).

[0194] Reference Figure 20 In some examples, the fixing member 35 may have a groove 350 in which the slider 34 slides. In this case, the sliding of the slider 34 in the groove 350 can guide and limit the rotation direction of the first rotating body 310 and the second active module 32, thereby improving the stability of the first rotating body 310 and the second active module 32 when they rotate relative to each other.

[0195] In some examples, the second active module 32 may include a first rotating arm 321a, a second rotating arm 321b, and a fixed shaft 322 fixedly connected to the first rotating arm 321a and the second rotating arm 321b. The sliding shaft 320 may include a first sliding shaft 320a disposed at one end of the first rotating arm 321a, and a second sliding shaft 320b disposed at one end of the second rotating arm 321b.

[0196] In some examples, the side of the first rotating body 310 facing the fixed shaft 322 may have a groove 311 for accommodating the fixed shaft 322. This facilitates the merging of the second movable module 32 of the first rotating body 310.

[0197] In some examples, the first rotating body 310 can be generally positioned between the first rotating arm 321a and the second rotating arm 321b. In some examples, the second movable module 32 can be positioned within the accommodating space formed by the fixed module 33. This ensures that the first movable module 31, the second movable module 32, and the fixed module 33 are combined into a single unit while saving space.

[0198] In some examples, the sliding area 330 may include a first sliding area 330a in which a first sliding shaft 320a slides, and a second sliding area 330b in which a second sliding shaft 320b slides. In this case, sliding the sliding shaft 320 forward in the sliding area 330 enables the first rotating body 310 and the second active module 32 to merge, and sliding the sliding shaft 320 backward in the sliding area 330 enables the first rotating body 310 and the second active module 32 to separate.

[0199] In some examples, the fastener 35 may also include a fastening body 351 that is fixedly connected to the fastening module 33.

[0200] According to the present invention, a display device 1 and its hinge module 30 can also be provided, which can better realize the horizontal and vertical screen placement of the display device 1 by designing the support member 20.

[0201] While the invention has been specifically described above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples, it is to be understood that the above description does not limit the invention in any way. Those skilled in the art can make modifications and variations to the invention as needed without departing from its essential spirit and scope, and all such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the invention.
