Solution Overview

Problem

In display devices with communication functions, the fixed oscillation frequency of oscillators in the display driver component can cause harmonic waves that interfere with the communication component, leading to poor communication quality and limiting the communication operating frequency band.

Innovation Solution

An oscillation frequency control system that acquires current operating information of the communication component, determines the appropriate oscillation frequency for each oscillator to ensure that harmonic waves fall outside the communication operating frequency band, and controls the oscillators to operate at these frequencies.
