Abstract

An exemplary debugging system ( 2 ) for a liquid crystal display device ( 26 ) includes a host computer ( 22 ). The host computer includes a graphics card ( 220 ), a driver layer ( 225 ), and an application layer ( 226 ). The application layer includes a graphical user interface, and the driver layer includes a plurality of drivers to drive the graphics card. The host computer is configured for storing chip data of a scaler chip ( 260 ) of the liquid crystal display device, reading and writing the scaler chip via the graphics card, and displaying corresponding chip data on the liquid crystal display device via the graphical user interface such that the corresponding chip data can be revised in a debugging process of the liquid crystal display device.

Claims (23)

1 . A debugging system for a liquid crystal display device, the debugging system comprising:

a host computer comprising a graphics card, a driver layer, and an application layer;

wherein the application layer comprises a graphical user interface, the driver layer comprises a plurality of drivers to drive the graphics card, the host computer is configured for storing chip data of a scaler chip of the liquid crystal display device, reading and writing the scaler chip via the graphics card, and displaying corresponding chip data on the liquid crystal display device via the graphical user interface such that the corresponding chip data can be revised in a debugging process of the liquid crystal display device.

2 . The debugging system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the application layer is configured as a debugging program.

3 . The debugging system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the application layer is configured for communicating with the driver layer via a data transmission channel.

4 . The debugging system as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the host computer is configured for storing chip data of a plurality of different kinds of scaler chips.

5 . The debugging system as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the driver layer is configured as a database of 4 GB built by Windows® driver model technology.

6 . The debugging system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the graphics card comprises a video graphics array interface, the liquid crystal display device comprises a corresponding video graphics array interface, and the host computer is connected to the liquid crystal display device via signal transmission between the two video graphics array interfaces.

7 . The debugging system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the liquid crystal display device is configured for receiving a video signal directly from the host computer and being operated to observe results of the revision.

8 . A debugging method for a liquid crystal display device, the method comprising: providing a debugging system comprising:

a host computer comprising a graphics card, a driver layer, and an application layer, the application layer comprising a graphical user interface, and the driver layer comprising a plurality of drivers to drive the graphics card;

connecting the host computer and the liquid crystal display device via the graphics card;

the application layer installing the drivers;

loading chip data of a scaler chip of the liquid crystal display device;

revising the corresponding chip data displayed on the liquid crystal display device via the graphical user interface; and

observing results of the revision on the liquid crystal display device by operating the liquid crystal display device.

9 . The debugging method as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising further revising the corresponding chip data if the results of the revision are unsatisfactory.

10 . The debugging method as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising the host computer providing a video signal to the liquid crystal display device, before observing results of the revision on the liquid crystal display device.

11 . The debugging method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the application layer is configured as a debugging program.

12 . The debugging method as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the application layer is configured for communicating with the driver layer via a data transmission channel.

13 . The debugging method as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the host computer is configured for storing chip data of a plurality of different kinds of scaler chips, before loading the chip data of the scaler chip of the liquid crystal display device, a correct chip type of the scaler chip is selected via the graphical user interface.

14 . The debugging method as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the driver layer is configured as a database of 4 GB built by Windows® driver model technology.

15 . The debugging method as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the graphics card comprises a video graphics array interface, the liquid crystal display device comprises a corresponding video graphics array interface, and the host computer is connected to the liquid crystal display device via signal transmission between the two video graphics array interfaces.
