Display Data Transmission Circuit for Multi-Mode Serial Conversion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional data transmission circuits in display devices require separate control paths for different data transmission modes, increasing complexity due to the need to convert serial data into parallel data with varying bit widths, such as 3-bit and 4-bit modes, without distinguishing between modes.
Innovation Solution
A data transmission circuit comprising a serial-to-parallel conversion circuit, a control signal generating circuit, and a latch circuit that generates mode selection signals to convert serial data into parallel data with corresponding bit widths and control signals, allowing for unified operation across multiple modes without separate control paths.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If separate control paths are set for each data transmission mode, then different transmission modes can be supported, but the complexity of the data transmission circuit increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a unified control path that can handle multiple data transmission modes (1-bit, 3-bit, 4-bit modes) through a single serial-to-parallel conversion circuit. The circuit uses mode setting signals to configure itself for different bit widths, eliminating the need for separate control paths for each mode while maintaining full functionality across all transmission modes.
Solution Approach 2:
The serial-to-parallel conversion circuit is designed to be dynamically reconfigurable based on mode setting signals. The circuit can change its operational characteristics (bit width configuration) in response to control signals, allowing it to adapt between different transmission modes without requiring physical reconfiguration or separate dedicated circuits for each mode.
2Reliability
If dedicated control paths are implemented for each mode, then mode-specific control requirements are met, but the circuit structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple mode-specific control functions into a single unified control path. The serial-to-parallel conversion circuit integrates the functionality of what would otherwise require separate control paths for 1-bit, 3-bit, and 4-bit modes, while the control signal generating circuit produces mode-appropriate control signals through a single unified mechanism rather than through multiple independent control paths.
3Ease of operation
If multiple separate control paths are used, then each mode can be controlled independently, but the number of control signals increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces mode setting signals as intermediaries that convey mode information from the control signal generating circuit to the serial-to-parallel conversion circuit. This intermediary mechanism allows the unified control path to independently control different modes by interpreting the mode setting signals, reducing the need for multiple independent control signal sets while maintaining independent mode controllability.
