Split Display System Signal Rate Conversion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional display systems with integrated hosts and display screens occupy excessive space and incur high costs due to thick transmission cables, which also lead to signal energy weakening over long distances.
Innovation Solution
A split-type display system comprising a processing device, a display device, and a transmission cable, where a low-to-high unit in the processing device converts image signals to higher transmission rates, reducing the number of channels needed in the cable, and a high-to-low unit in the display device adjusts the signal back to the original rate for clear display, minimizing cable thickness and energy loss.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the number of transmission channels is increased to support high picture quality and high resolution, then the transmission capability is improved, but the volume of the transmission cable increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the transmission rate parameter of the image signal from a first transmission rate to a second transmission rate that is higher than the first transmission rate. This parameter change allows the same image signal to be transmitted through fewer channels, thereby reducing the cable volume while maintaining transmission capability.
2Ease of operation
If the transmission cable length is increased to accommodate split-type configuration, then the installation flexibility is improved, but signal energy weakening occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent increases the transmission rate parameter of the image signal transmitted through the cable. By transmitting at a higher transmission rate, the signal can maintain its energy levels over longer cable lengths, enabling the split-type configuration with separated host and display screen while preventing signal energy weakening.

AI summary
A split-type display system includes a processing device, a display device, and a transmission cable connecting the devices. The processing device includes a processing unit and a low-to-high unit. The processing unit generates a first image signal having both a first transmission rate and a first channel number. The low-to-high unit converts the first image signal into a second image signal having both a second transmission rate and a second channel number. The first transmission rate is lower than the second transmission rate. The display device includes a high-to-low unit and a display unit. The high-to-low unit receives and converts the second image signal into a third image signal having both a third transmission rate and a third channel number. The display unit displays the third image signal. a number of channels of the transmission cable is the same as the second channel number.
