Image display device
View Patent ↗To provide an image display device to simplify software for rewriting data, and shorten rewrite time, a vehicle meter 1 includes the image display device including: a display device 10 displaying the image data; a main microprocessor 30 including Flash-ROMa 31 and I/F 32 communicating with external; and GDC microprocessor 40 including Flash-ROMb 41 the image data is stored, controlled by the main microprocessor 30 , and controlling the display device 10 , whereby the GDC microprocessor 40 includes an I/F 42 for directly rewriting the image data from external.
1. An image display device comprising:
a display device displaying an image data including a first set of data and a second set of data;
a main microprocessor including a first interface configured to receive a first external communication, and a first memory; and
a sub microprocessor in direct communication with the display device and controlled by the main microprocessor, the sub microprocessor including a second memory for storing the image data, and a second interface configured to receive a second external communication and directly rewrite the second memory,
wherein the main microprocessor is configured to rewrite the first memory directly via the first interface to update the first set of data coinstantaneously with the sub microprocessor rewriting the second memory via the second interface in response to the second external communication to directly change the second set of data of the image data displayed by the display device without input from the main processor,
wherein after rewriting in response to the second external communication the second memory via the second interface, the sub microprocessor subsequently sends a rewriting end command to the main microprocessor, and
wherein the main microprocessor affirms end of rewriting of the second memory by receiving the rewriting end command from the sub microprocessor.
2. The image display device according to claim 1 , wherein the second interface is configured to communicate faster than the first interface.
