The application discloses a
display device and a configuration method for expanding display identification data. The
display device splits the expanded display identification data into a
basic block and an expansion block which are decoupled from each other, and receives a combination configuration sent by a terminal device. The
basic block is used to represent basic display attributes of a display, the expansion block is used to represent expansion display attributes of the display, the combination configuration is used to adapt to a compatible fault of an
HDMI interface, and the combination configuration comprises a combination rule. The
basic block and the expansion block indicated by the combination rule are spliced based on the combination configuration, so as to generate target expanded display identification data, and the target expanded display identification data is output to an external device through the
HDMI interface. The application breaks the solidification limitation of EDID whole
package, can remotely reconfigure EDID for the compatible fault of the
HDMI interface, does not need to
upgrade the whole
machine or replace hardware, and further improves the configuration efficiency of EDID and improves the experience of users.
