Abstract
The present application provides a display module, a driving method thereof, and a display device. The display module comprises: a display panel comprising at least two display areas; a detection module configured to detect a fold state of the display panel; and a driving chip module comprising one-to-one correspondence with the display area and drive its display drive chip; a gating module configured to control connection or disconnection of a line where the gating module is located; a control platform configured to output control instructions. Alleviate the problem of excessive power consumption in existing folding display devices.
Claims20
A display module, comprising:
- a display panel comprising at least two display areas and at least one folding area located between the display areas;
- a driving chip module comprising at least two driving chips corresponding to the display areas in one-to-one correspondence and configured to drive corresponding one of the display areas to display;
- a gating module connecting to the driving chips and configured to control connection or disconnection of a line where the gating module is located;
- a detection module configured to detect a fold state of the display panel;
- and
- a control platform comprising a micro-control unit, wherein the micro-control unit is configured to output a driving instruction to the driving chips and to output a gating instruction to the gating module;
- wherein the micro-control unit outputs the driving instruction to all of the driving chips, all of the driving chips work, and all of the display areas are driven to display when the display panel is in an unfolded state, and the micro-control unit outputs the driving instruction to one of the driving chips corresponding to an unfolded one of the display areas, the driving chip corresponding to the unfolded display area works, another one of the driving chips corresponding to a folded one of the display areas does not work, the unfolded display area displays, and the folded display area does not display when the display panel is in a folded state.
