Description

The LCD of sequential control method and device and application thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of LCD, particularly relate to a kind of LCD that can upgrade to the resolution that the specification of dispatching from the factory do not support easily.
Background technology
Generally speaking the incoming video signal that LCD received is divided into two groups of signals: picture element signal and synchronizing signal.Wherein picture element signal comprises the value of redness, green and the blue composition of each pixel that shows on the LCDs; And synchronizing signal comprises horizontal synchronization and two signals of vertical synchronization.
The composition density of a picture is called resolution, and how many pixels picture of its expression contains.The account form of resolution is typically expressed as (the horizontal display pixel number of picture) * (the vertical display pixel number of picture), and for example a picture level can show 1024 pixels, vertically can show 768 pixels, and its resolution then is 1024*768.
The video data of single picture is transmitted as by picture upper left to the bottom right.The pixel constituent data of pixel is begun to transmit by upper left the 1st data, and the pixel data of sending same level is to the right in regular turn sent the 1st pixel data of Far Left of next level subsequently until any data of rightmost.When the first stroke pixel data of each level is sent, horizontal-drive signal send simultaneously with the notice LCD thus a pixel data begin pixel data for next level.Mode finishes when the pixel data of whole image transmits according to this, and the most upper left the first stroke data of next picture are and then sent.When the most upper left the first stroke data of each picture are sent, vertical synchronizing signal send simultaneously with the notice LCD thus a pixel data begin pixel data for next picture.
Fig. 1 is the calcspar of conventional liquid crystal 10 functions.This LCD 10 includes time sequence control device 11, drive unit 12 and display panel 13.
Time sequence control device 11, it comprises a video signal unit 111, is the vision signal that sends this LCD 10 in order to reception to; One driving data delivery unit 112, it exports the required driving data of a drive unit 12; One level and vertical clock signal generation unit 113, it exports this drive unit 12 required level and vertical clock signal; And one sequential produce and DCU data control unit 114.
There is the resolution parameter tables of data of imbedding when making timing sequence generating and DCU data control unit 114 inside,
Its record various default resolution in requisition for time sequence parameter.Timing sequence generating and DCU data control unit 114 are the vision signals that transmitted by this video signal unit 111 in order to receive, and utilize cycle of vertical synchronizing signal in this vision signal and horizontal-drive signal to learn the resolution of vision signal.Timing sequence generating and DCU data control unit 114 are according to this resolution value, by finding out the time series data that this resolution is suitable in this time sequence parameter, this vision signal is utilized this time series data that is suitable for processing and is converted to driving data, and export this driving data to this driving data delivery unit 112.In addition, this timing sequence generating and DCU data control unit 114 are also utilized this time series data that is suitable for that this vision signal is handled simultaneously and are converted to level and vertical time series data, export this level and vertical time series data to this level and vertical clock signal generation unit 113 again.
Existing time sequence control device is just inserted the time sequence parameter of all resolution correspondences of supporting of plan in design and when making, so LCD can't be handled the not vision signal of the resolution of plan support.When the vision signal of the resolution that occurs a kind of new spec on the market, just the vision signal that new time sequence control device just can be handled the resolution of this new spec is made in the design that must will change time sequence control device.
In addition, existing time sequence control device is only handled the sequential partial function that video signal data is converted to drive signal and clock signal.Though the colouring information of video signal data is also sent in the time sequence control device simultaneously, because the requirement for each picture color has great variation according to different environment and different users, with the design of present time sequence control device, and can't satisfy the requirement of color treatments by easy mode.Processing mode now all with after picture data is passed through the software or the calculating of display card, is delivered to LCD after the color change decision that will be required again.
