[0036] Optionally, the touch panel group 2 may include M first touch panels 21 and N second touch panels 22. The M first touch panels 21 may correspond one-to-one with the M rows of display units 11, and each of the M first touch panels 21 is electrically connected to each row of display units 11 corresponding to it. When each of the M first touch panels 21 is touched, the display state of each row of display units 11 corresponding to each first touch panel 21 can be switched.

[0037] Similarly, each of the N second touch devices 22 corresponds one-to-one with one of the N columns of display units 11, and each of the N second touch devices 22 is electrically connected to each column of display units 11 corresponding to it. When each of the N second touch devices 22 is touched, the display state of each column of display units 11 corresponding to each second touch device 22 can be switched.

[0038] Optionally, each display unit 11 can display at least two types of display information. When the first touch 21 or the second touch 22 is pressed, each row display unit 11 corresponding to the first touch 21 or each column display unit 11 corresponding to the second touch 22 can switch between at least two types of display information.

[0039] In the embodiments of this application, the display information of each row of display units 11 in the display unit array 1 can be adjusted by touching the first touch element 21, and the display information of each column of display units 11 in the display unit array 1 can be adjusted by touching the second touch element 22. Thus, the display unit array 1 can be adjusted to the display state required by the user by touching the first touch element 21 and the second touch element 22, thereby enhancing the fun of the game console.

[0040] In one possible embodiment, the display unit array 1 can be divided into row ends and column ends.

M first touch elements 21 are disposed on the first support member 311, which supports the M first touch elements 21. N second touch elements 22 are disposed on the second support member 31331, which supports the N second touch elements 22. The support portion 3 can also be electrically connected to a control unit within the display module. When the first support member 311 detects a first touch element 21 being pressed, or when the second support member 31331 detects a second touch element 22 being pressed, the support portion 3 can transmit an electrical signal to the control unit.

[0045] In one possible embodiment, the first support member 311 includes M first rods 312 corresponding one-to-one with the M first touch members 21. The first support member 311 supports the M first touch members 21 through the M first rods 312. When each first touch member 21 is pressed, the first rod 312 corresponding to each first touch member 21 can detect the first touch member 21 and transmit an electrical signal.

[0046] The second support member 31331 includes N second rods 314 corresponding to N second touch pieces 22. The second support member 31331 supports the N second touch pieces 22 through the N second rods 314. When each second touch piece 22 is pressed, the second rod 314 corresponding to each second touch piece 22 can detect the second touch piece 22 and transmit an electrical signal.

[0047] In one possible embodiment, the first touch element 21 and the second touch element 22 are buttons, and a detection unit is provided below each button.

The detection unit may be electrically connected to the display unit array 1, and is used to detect the button's state and transmit the detection signal to the display unit array 1.

[0048] In one possible embodiment, each display unit 11 is provided with a corresponding trigger switch. When each display unit 11 is pressed, the trigger switch corresponding to each display unit 11 can turn the display unit 11 on or off. When the display unit 11 is on, the display unit 11 can display at least one type of display information.

[0049] Optionally, the display unit 11 can display at least two types of display information. When each display unit 11 is pressed, the trigger switch corresponding to each display unit 11 can turn the display unit 11 on or off, and each display unit 11 can switch between at least two types of display information.

[0050] In one possible embodiment, the number of rows and columns of display unit array 1 are the same. In this case, display unit array 1 constitutes a square display array.

[0051] In one possible embodiment, the display unit array 1 is an array consisting of 5 rows and 5 columns of display units 11. In this case, the display unit array 1 includes a total of 25 display units 11.

[0052] In one possible embodiment, the displayed information includes color information, pattern information, or text information. The displayed information can be color information including colors such as red, green, and blue, pattern information including shapes and images, or text information including Chinese characters and English characters.

[0053] On the other hand, such as Figure 3 As shown, this application discloses a game console, which includes any of the display modules mentioned above. The game console can be a color-flipping game console. The game console may also include a display screen 4, which is capable of displaying array information corresponding to the display unit array 1.

[0054] In one possible embodiment, the color-flipping game machine can be played in the following ways:

[0055] When the game starts, the display screen 4 displays the target pattern. The user can change the display information of the display unit array 1 by pressing the first touch 21 or the second touch 22. When a first touch 21 is pressed, a row of display units 11 in the display unit array 1 corresponding to the first touch 21 switches the display information. When a second touch 22 is pressed, a column of display units 11 in the display unit array 1 corresponding to the second touch 22 switches the display information. When the display information of the display unit array 1 matches the target pattern, the game is won.
