Abstract
A drive control method, assembly, and a display device. The method is applied to a timer controller. The method comprises: generating a point-to-point configuration instruction that comprises n configuration data where n≥2; sending the point-to-point configuration instruction to a first source driver chip through a first signal line, the first source driver chip being any one of a plurality of source driver chips; and receiving a configuration response instruction sent by the first source driver chip according to the point-to-point configuration instruction through the first signal line, the configuration response instruction comprising configuration response data for each of the n configuration data.
Claims17
A drive control method being applied to a timer controller that communicates with a plurality of source driver chips connected in parallel through a first signal line, the method comprising:
- generating a point-to-point configuration instruction that comprises n configuration data, n≥2;
- sending the point-to-point configuration instruction to a first source driver chip through the first signal line, the first source driver chip being any one of the plurality of source driver chips;
- and
- receiving a configuration response instruction sent by the first source driver chip according to the point-to-point configuration instruction through the first signal line, the configuration response instruction comprising configuration response data for each of the n configuration data;
- wherein the point-to-point configuration instruction comprises addresses used for the n configuration data, a first indicator and a data portion, wherein the first indicator is configured to indicate whether the addresses used for the n configuration data are consecutive and the value of the first indicator is used for acquiring target addresses from the addresses used for the n configuration data, and the data portion carries the n configuration data;
- wherein when the first indicator indicates the addresses used for the n configuration data are consecutive, the addresses used for the n configuration data comprise the first address and the last address of the consecutive addresses, and the target addresses comprise a segment of consecutive addresses delimited by the first address and the last address;
- and when the first indicator indicates the addresses used for the n configuration data are not consecutive, the target addresses comprise the address of each of then configuration data.
A drive control method being applied to a first source driver chip, the first source driver chip being any one of a plurality of source driver chips that is connected in parallel and communicates with a timer controller through a first signal line, the method comprises:
- receiving a point-to-point configuration instruction sent by the timer controller through the first signal line, the point-to-point configuration instruction comprising:
- n configuration data used for a first source driver chip, n≥2;
- and
- sending a configuration response instruction to the timer controller according to the point-to-point configuration instruction through the first signal line, the configuration response instruction comprising configuration response data for each of the n configuration data;
- wherein the point-to-point configuration instruction comprises addresses used for the n configuration data, a first indicator and a data portion, and before sending a configuration response instruction to the timer controller according to the point-to-point configuration instruction through the first signal line, the method further comprises:
- acquiring a value of the first indicator, the first indicator being configured to indicate whether the addresses used for the n configuration data are consecutive, the data portion carrying the n configuration data;
- acquiring target addresses from the addresses used for the n configuration data according to the value of the first indicator, wherein when the first indicator indicates the addresses used for the n configuration data are consecutive, the addresses used for the n configuration data comprise the first address and the last address of the consecutive addresses, and the acquired target addresses comprise a segment of consecutive addresses delimited by the first address and the last address;
- and when the first indicator indicates the addresses used for the n configuration data are not consecutive, the acquired target addresses comprise the address of each of then configuration data;
- and
- acquiring the n configuration data carried by the data portion according to reference information, the reference information comprising the target addresses.
