Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional expandable multi-module display systems require complex networks and high system costs due to the need for image display systems appropriate for the number of screens, leading to unnecessary functions and difficulties in slim-sized implementation.
Innovation Solution
An expandable multi-module display device with multi-driving boards that cut and process data corresponding to an identification code, transmitting specific data to a specific flat panel display while bypassing other data to remaining boards, using a control signal generator to manage split-screen control signals and perform scaling and frequency conversion.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If an image display system appropriate for the number of screens is installed in conventional expandable multi-module displays, then multiple images can be displayed on multiple screens, but system cost increases and network becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the display system into independent modular units, each containing a flat panel display and a multi-driving board. Each module can independently process and display images, eliminating the need for complex centralized control networks. The segmentation allows modules to be connected in simple series or parallel configurations without requiring sophisticated network infrastructure.
Solution Approach 2:
The multi-driving board is designed with universal functionality to handle multiple tasks: it can drive the local flat panel display, process image data, generate control signals, and communicate with other modules. This multi-functionality consolidates what would otherwise require separate dedicated components and networks, simplifying the overall system architecture while maintaining multi-screen display capability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If an image display system appropriate for the number of screens is installed in conventional expandable multi-module displays, then multiple images can be displayed on multiple screens, but system cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the image processing functions, control signal generation, and display driving capabilities into a single integrated multi-driving board for each module. This consolidation eliminates the need for separate image processors, control units, and communication hardware that would be required in conventional systems, thereby reducing component costs and simplifying manufacturing while maintaining full multi-screen display functionality.
3Adaptability or versatility
If conventional expandable multi-module display devices include unnecessary functions, then they can handle various display configurations, but slim-sized implementation becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential functions needed for multi-screen display operation into each module: image data reception, processing, and local display driving. Non-essential functions such as centralized control, complex network communication, and redundant processing capabilities are removed. This extraction enables slim-sized implementation while preserving the core adaptability for various display configurations.

AI summary
An expandable multi-module display device cuts block data corresponding to an identification code of the expandable multi-module display device itself, and transmits the data-cut result to a specific flat panel display corresponding to the expandable multi-module display device itself, such that it displays a total image. The expandable multi-module display device includes a multi-panel including a plurality of flat panel displays, several multi-driving boards installed in the flat panel displays, respectively, and a data bus line connected to each of the multi-driving boards. The expandable multi-module display device cuts data corresponding to an identification code of the multi-module display device itself, and provides a specific flat panel display with the cut data corresponding to the multi-driving board itself, and bypasses the remaining data other than the cut data to the multi-driving boards of the remaining flat panel displays other than the specific flat panel display.
