Data Line Serial Number Mapping for Rounded Display Panels
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In display panels with rounded edges, the inconsistent arrangement of data lines and data pins requires significant storage space to maintain the correspondence between them, leading to inefficiencies in data transmission.
Innovation Solution
A method for determining and transmitting data by sequentially assigning serial numbers to data pins based on predetermined ranges, allowing for dynamic calculation of serial numbers for each data pin, thereby eliminating the need for large storage spaces to store these correspondences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Shape
If data lines are extended from edge region to middle region to accommodate rounded panel edges, then the display panel can be manufactured with rounded edges, but the arrangement sequence of data lines becomes inconsistent with data pins, requiring large storage space to store correspondence relationships
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of data transmission by introducing a virtual channel concept that decouples the physical data line arrangement from the logical data transmission sequence. By dynamically mapping data lines to virtual channels based on their actual connection order to data pins, the system maintains consistent data transmission without requiring storage of correspondence relationships. The virtual channel assignment changes based on the rounded edge configuration, allowing the same hardware to adapt to different panel shapes.
2Shape
If data lines are connected in non-sequential order due to rounded edges, then rounded edge display panels can be manufactured, but data transmission efficiency decreases due to need to store and retrieve correspondence data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces virtual channels as an intermediary layer between the physical data lines and the data transmission process. This intermediary allows the system to handle non-sequential data line connections without impacting transmission efficiency. The virtual channels act as temporary buffers that receive data in the correct logical sequence regardless of the physical connection order, eliminating the need to store correspondence relationships and maintaining high data transmission efficiency.
3Reliability
If large storage space is allocated to store data line to data pin correspondence, then accurate data transmission can be achieved with rounded edges, but device resource consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a self-service mechanism where the system automatically determines the connection order of data lines to data pins during initialization and dynamically assigns virtual channels accordingly. This self-configuration process eliminates the need for pre-stored correspondence tables, as the system generates the mapping relationships on-the-fly based on actual hardware connections. The method maintains data transmission accuracy while consuming minimal storage resources.

AI summary
Provided are a method for transmitting data, an electronic device, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium. The method includes determining whether a serial number of a data line corresponding to the current channel datum is a staring serial number of a first predetermined serial number range, when yes, mapping a staring serial number or an ending serial number of a first mapping range as the serial number of the data line corresponding to the current channel datum, and resetting a counting value; and determining whether the serial number of the data line corresponding to the current channel datum is not the starting serial number of the first predetermined serial number range, and when yes, increasing a current counting value by 1 within a first counting range, determining a current serial number step, and mapping a sum of the current serial number step and another serial number as the serial number.
