Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic device displays and entertainment devices, and in particular to a display module and a Tetris game device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of the electronic entertainment industry, game consoles have become an important choice for people's leisure and entertainment. Tetris, with its simple and easy-to-learn gameplay and high entertainment value, has always been popular among players. It not only brings joy and challenge but also, to a certain extent, trains players' reaction and thinking abilities. Moreover, with the growth of market demand, Tetris game consoles are constantly seeking breakthroughs and improvements in functionality and performance.

[0003] Regarding the display of Tetris game consoles, most products on the market use traditional segment displays to achieve the display function. Segment displays are a relatively basic display technology that uses specific combinations of line segments to display numbers, letters, and simple graphics. This display method is low-cost and technologically mature, and therefore widely used in various electronic products. For Tetris game consoles, segment displays can meet the basic game screen display requirements. Some game consoles may use simple dot matrix displays, which can display more complex patterns than segment displays, but the overall display effect still has certain limitations.

[0004] However, existing display technologies have significant drawbacks. Traditional segment displays suffer from poor image quality, offering only a monotonous display that fails to showcase rich colors and detailed images. Furthermore, segment displays are prone to blurring in bright light, and prolonged staring at such screens while gaming can easily cause eye strain and negatively impact a player's vision.

[0045] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 10 This application will be described in further detail.

[0046] One of the objectives of this application is to provide a display module that can effectively improve display contrast, optimize display colors, and enhance clarity.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2Specifically, the display module includes a substrate 1, an LED array 2, a protective frame 3, and a light-transmitting element 4. The LED array 2 is disposed on the surface of the substrate 1, the protective frame 3 is fixed to the substrate 1, and the LEDs of the LED array 2 are placed within the through-slots 31 of the protective frame 3. The light-transmitting element 4 is disposed on the protective frame 3 and covers the upper side of the through-slots 31. This arrangement allows the light emitted by the LEDs to propagate through a specific structure, improving display contrast, optimizing display colors, and enhancing clarity. Because the through-slots 31 of the protective frame 3 have a certain constraint and guiding effect on the light, and the light-transmitting element 4 can adjust the light, the two work together to improve the display effect.

[0048] Specifically, the LED array 2 includes several LEDs. These LEDs are RGB-LEDs, which emit red, green, and blue light. Different combinations of these three primary colors can produce a rich variety of colors, greatly enhancing the color richness of the display. For example, when displaying game visuals, it can more realistically reproduce the colors of various scenes, providing players with a better visual experience. Besides RGB-LEDs, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) LEDs can also be used. OLEDs have advantages such as self-illumination, wide viewing angle, and fast response speed, and can also meet the color and brightness requirements of the display module. In another embodiment, the LEDs can also be LEDs. These LEDs are evenly distributed on the surface of the substrate 1 and are fixed to the substrate 1 by welding or surface mounting to ensure stable electrical and physical connections.

[0049] Specifically, the protective frame 3 has several through slots 31, and each of the through slots 31 corresponds to a number of LED beads. The LED beads are placed inside the through slots 31, which can prevent the light from interfering with each other between adjacent LED beads, ensure that the light emitted by each LED bead propagates independently, and improve the clarity and accuracy of the display.

[0050] Furthermore, the sidewalls of the channel 31 are inclined, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the channel gradually increases from the side closer to the substrate 1 to the side farther away from the substrate 1. This structural design allows the light emitted by the LED beads to diffuse over a wider range, thereby increasing the display area, increasing the lateral viewing angle, and improving the display effect.

[0051] Specifically, the light-transmitting element 4 is mounted on the protective frame 3 and covers the upper side of the through groove 31. The light-transmitting element 4 can be a plate-shaped component and can be a filter plate. This filter plate can be a light filter or a filter film covering the surface of the light-transmitting element 4. A light filter can accurately filter light of specific wavelengths, reduce unnecessary light interference, and improve the display contrast. Covering the surface of the light-transmitting element 4 with a filter film is a simpler and more economical method, which can also achieve the function of filtering light and optimizing the display effect. In addition to the common glass filter plate, an acrylic filter plate can also be used. Acrylic material has good light transmittance and impact resistance.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the light-transmitting element 4 may also consist of several small light-transmitting sheets, each corresponding to one of the through slots, and the light-transmitting sheets are fixed inside the through slots 31. The specific shape and structure of the light-transmitting element 4 can be designed according to actual needs.

[0053] The second objective of this application is to provide a Tetris game device. On one hand, this Tetris game device has rich and vibrant display colors and high definition, increasing protection for the player's eyesight. On the other hand, this Tetris game device offers high levels of gameplay enjoyment.

[0054] In this application, the Tetris game device is primarily used for the Tetris game, but it can also be adapted to other types of games. This application uses the Tetris game as an example to disclose the product structure and usage method of the Tetris game device.

[0055] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 Specifically, the Tetris game device includes the aforementioned display module, as well as an upper cover 5, a lower cover 6, an input module 8, and a PCB board 11. The display module is located between the upper cover 5 and the lower cover 6. The upper cover 5 has a display window 51, and a light-transmitting element 4 is located within the display window 51. The input module 8 includes operation keys 81, which are integrated onto the PCB board 11.

[0056] Specifically, the upper cover 5 and the lower cover 6 form the outer shell of the Tetris game device, typically made of injection-molded plastic, a material known for its lightweight, ease of processing, and low cost. The upper cover 5 and lower cover 6 are connected by clips, screws, etc., forming a relatively enclosed space for installing the display module, input module 8, and PCB board 11, protecting these components from external dust, moisture, and other contaminants. The size and shape of the display window 51 are determined based on the size and design requirements of the display module. Generally, the display window 51 must be able to completely accommodate the light-transmitting element 4 to ensure the player can see the displayed content clearly.

[0057] The control keys 81 are usually buttons or joysticks. Players can perform various operations in the game by pressing different buttons, which allows players to accurately control the game process.

[0058] Reference Figure 5 Regarding the control circuit of this Tetris game device, the PCB board 11 integrates an information processing module 9. For details, please refer to... Figure 6 and Figure 7The information processing module 9 includes a main control chip 91, which uses an AD156A chip. The operation key 81 is electrically connected to the main control chip 91 through the PCB board 11 to transmit the player's operation signal to the main control chip 91.

[0059] The main control chip 91 serves as the control core of the circuit. During gameplay, players input different commands through the operation key 81, which are then processed according to the game program to control the LED array 2 to display the corresponding game screen.

[0060] Reference Figure 8 The information processing module 9 further includes multiple expansion control chips 92, all of which are electrically connected to the main control chip 91 via the PCB board 11. Each expansion control chip 92 corresponds to and is electrically connected to multiple LEDs. The main function of the expansion control chip 92 is to expand the output pins of the main control chip 91, thereby enabling the main control chip 91 to control more LEDs, while also sharing some of the control tasks of the main control chip 91, providing more precise control over the LED array 2, and improving the display accuracy and stability of the display module.

[0061] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 9 This application further adds a wireless communication module 10, which is electrically connected to the main control chip 91. The wireless communication module 10 can be a Bluetooth module, which enables multiple Tetris game devices to interconnect through the wireless communication module 10, facilitating online battles and other operations between players.

[0062] The Tetris game device in this application has operation keys of the following types:

[0063] SW1: Power On / Off

[0064] SW2: Mode Selection

[0065] SW3: Pause / Start

[0066] SB1, SB3, SB2, and SB4 represent up, down, left, and right respectively.

[0067] SB5: Rotation

[0068] SB6: Item Use

[0069] Reference Figure 10 When a Tetris game device is running the Tetris game, the display module's interface is divided into multiple display areas, including:

[0070] Main display area 21: Used to display the game screen of Tetris, such as moving, rotating, stacking, or eliminating blocks;

[0071] Block prediction area 22: Used to display the pattern of the next Tetris block that is expected to appear;

[0072] Item Display Area 23: Displays icons for unexpected items; there is no limit to the number of items. Items are categorized as good or bad. Bad items negatively impact the current game situation, while good items increase the player's score. The timing of good / bad item appearances is random; for example, items may be triggered after several rounds. If a good item appears, Item Display Area 23 will display its icon and will need to detect whether the player has pressed the "use" button SB6. If no good item appears, it means the player has not used the item.

[0073] When a broken item appears, it is used directly by default. When the main control chip 91 detects the signal corresponding to the broken item, it processes the broken item according to the preset game program rules, and then outputs a digital signal through the main display area 21 to control the light array 2 of the main display area 21 to turn on and off, so as to present the game interface after the item is used.

[0074] Score Display Area 24: The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits of the display show the score currently obtained by the player.

[0075] In conclusion, compared to traditional Tetris game devices, this device has significantly improved in terms of display quality, feature richness, and game fun. It can not only attract more players but also reduce players' visual fatigue, representing a major improvement over existing technology.

[0076] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
