Abstract

A drive control method, an assembly and a display device, belonging to the field of panel manufacturing, for signal drive control of a display panel. The drive control method is applied to a time sequence controller, the time sequence controller is connected through a first signal line to a plurality of source drivers which are connected in parallel. The drive control method includes generating a broadcast configuration instruction, the broadcast configuration instruction being used for instructing a plurality of source drivers to perform driver configuration according to the broadcast configuration instruction, and sending the broadcast configuration instruction through the first signal line.

Claims (39)

1. A drive control method applicable to a time sequence controller, wherein the time sequence controller is connected with a plurality of source drivers that are parallel-connected, through a first signal line for bidirectional transmission of signals, the method comprising:

generating, by the time sequence controller, a broadcast configuration instruction for instructing the plurality of source drivers to perform driver configuration according to the broadcast configuration instruction;

transmitting, by the time sequence controller, the broadcast configuration instruction through the first signal line;

generating, by the time sequence controller, a point-to-point configuration instruction comprising an identification of a first source driver, the first source driver being one of the plurality of source drivers;

transmitting, by the time sequence controller, the point-to-point configuration instruction through the first signal line; and

receiving, by the time sequence controller, through the first signal line, a configuration response instruction transmitted by the first source driver, wherein the configuration response instruction is transmitted to the time sequence controller by the first source driver according to the point-to-point configuration instruction, after the first source driver detects the identification of the first source driver in the point-to-point configuration instruction.

2. The method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the time sequence controller is connected with the plurality of source drivers through respective ones of a plurality of second signal lines, and

wherein the broadcast configuration instruction comprises a number, transmission rate and signal equalizer information of a respective second signal line of the plurality of second signal lines connected with each source driver of the plurality of source drivers.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before generating the point-to-point configuration instruction, the method further comprises:

configuring the identification of the first source driver based on a target second signal line and the first signal line,

wherein the target second signal line is a second signal line connecting the time sequence controller and the first source driver.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein

each broadcast configuration instruction transmitted in the first signal line comprises a preamble code, a start identifier, data bits and an end identifier that are sequentially arranged;

wherein the preamble code is used to instruct a receiving terminal to perform clock and phase calibration, the start identifier is used to indicate the start of data transmission, the data bits are used to carry configuration data, and the end identifier is used to indicate the end of data transmission.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein

the preamble code is obtained from consecutive binary 0s in at least 8 bits by Manchester encoding;

the start identifier comprises consecutive binary 0s in at least 2 bits;

the configuration data carried by the data bits is the data obtained by Manchester encoding; and

the end identifier comprises consecutive binary 1s in at least 2 bits.

6. A drive control method applicable to a first source driver, wherein the first source driver is one of a plurality of source drivers, and wherein the plurality of source drivers are connected in parallel and connected with a time sequence controller through a first signal line for bidirectional transmission of signals, the method comprising:

receiving, by the first source driver, a broadcast configuration instruction transmitted by the time sequence controller through the first signal line;

performing, by the first source driver, driver configuration according to the broadcast configuration instruction;

receiving, by the first source driver, a point-to-point configuration instruction transmitted by the time sequence controller through the first signal line, the point-to-point configuration instruction comprising an identification;

detecting, by the first source driver, whether the identification in the point-to-point configuration instruction identifies the first source driver; and

transmitting, by the first source driver, a configuration response instruction to the time sequence controller through the first signal line according to the point-to-point configuration instruction after the identification in the point-to-point configuration instruction is determined as identifying the first source driver.

7. The method according to claim 6 ,

wherein the time sequence controller is connected with the plurality of source drivers through respective ones of a plurality of second signal lines, and

wherein the broadcast configuration instruction comprises a number, transmission rate and signal equalizer information of a respective second signal line of the plurality of second signal lines connected with each source driver of the plurality of source drivers.

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein before receiving the point-to-point configuration instruction transmitted by the time sequence controller through the first signal line, the method further comprises:

based on a target second signal line and the first signal line, acquiring the identification that is configured for the first source driver by the time sequence controller, the target second signal line being a second signal line connecting the time sequence controller and the first source driver.

9. The method according to claim 6 , wherein

each broadcast configuration instruction transmitted in the first signal line comprises a preamble code, a start identifier, data bits and an end identifier that are sequentially arranged;

wherein the preamble code is used to instruct a receiving terminal to perform clock and phase calibration, the start identifier is used to indicate the start of data transmission, the data bits are used to carry configuration data, and the end identifier is used to indicate the end of data transmission.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein

the preamble code is obtained from consecutive binary 0s in at least 8 bits by Manchester encoding;

the start identifier comprises consecutive binary 0s in at least 2 bits;

the configuration data carried by the data bits is the data obtained by Manchester encoding; and

the end identifier comprises consecutive binary 1s in at least 2 bits.
