Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for diagnosing an electronic display device with a screen and a graphics memory, are stored or changed in the image data of an image displayed or displayed by the screen. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for carrying out the method.
  • the invention has the object to provide a way to diagnose an electronic display device, so that a faulty screen display of stored in the graphics memory image data can be detected.
  • This object is achieved by a method according to claim 1. Preferred developments are given in the subclaims.
  • a value characterizing the current consumption or the change of the current consumption of the screen or the display device becomes measured, based on the image data or the change of the image data, a current consumption or the change in the current consumption of the screen or the display device characterizing reference value is determined and compared with the measured value (measured value).
  • Each pixel has, depending on its mode of operation, a certain current consumption, which is determined, for example, by its color and / or brightness. If it is a monochromatic display device (eg in black and white), then the current consumption of each pixel depends only on its set brightness and / or whether it is switched on or off. Because the image data includes information about which pixel is to be activated, the image data can also be used to determine which pixel is causing or causing which current consumption. Thus, by summing up the power consumption determined for each pixel, the total current consumption of all pixels for an image can be determined.
  • the additional power consumption of other electronic components of the display device and / or the screen can be taken into account as an offset and added to the total current consumption of all pixels.
  • the current consumption that occurs or should occur when displaying a specific image can be determined. If the determined current consumption does not match the measured current consumption within specified tolerances, then there is an error in the display.
  • a status signal is generated as a function of the comparison, which contains, for example, information about whether there is an error in the display.
  • the screen comprises, in particular, a plurality of electrical lighting means, wherein each pixel is assigned at least one electrical lighting means and / or each pixel is formed by at least one electric lighting means.
  • each pixel has a plurality, for example three, electrical lighting means, which in particular can emit or emit light of different colors.
  • the electrical lamps are preferably light emitting diodes.
  • the or at least a part of the electrical lighting means are designed as organic light-emitting diodes (OLED).
  • the graphics memory is preferably a memory that is writable and / or readable, in particular, the graphics memory is a random access memory (RAM).
  • RAM random access memory
  • the measurement of the current consumption or the change of the current consumption preferably takes place via a measuring resistor.
  • the measurement of the current consumption or of the change in the current consumption can take place by means of an inductance whose current consumption proportional magnetic field is detected by a magnetic field-sensitive sensor.
  • the screen and / or the display device is preferably connected between a ground line and a supply line, via which the screen and / or the display device is supplied with power.
  • the measurement of the current consumption or the change of the current consumption takes place e.g. in the supply line or in the ground line.
  • the display device is used to display characters, so that it can be checked by means of the method according to the invention whether the character to be displayed is actually displayed. If different characters can be displayed and checked, they must lead to different power consumption, if the result should be unique. For example, if several characters would result in the same current consumption, one of the characters could be used to switch a specific number of pixels of a hidden screen area (ie a non-visible additional pattern is switched on). Thus, it is possible to distinguish these characters by their different current consumption, although their visible areas one cause or cause identical current consumption. Since the added number of pixels is not visible to a user because of the hidden screen area, the visual impression of the affected character does not change.
  • the number of pixels of the additional pattern is in particular equal to a value rounded up to a whole number of a quotient whose divident corresponds to the number of pixels of the screen, the divisor of the quotient being equal to a power whose base is the number two, the exponent of the quotient Potency of the resolution of the measuring system, in particular in bits, corresponds.
  • An alternative approach for distinguishing different characters that result in an equal current consumption is to decompose one of the characters into at least two sub-pictures.
  • a character to be displayed on the screen at least two fields are assigned, of which a first forms the image whose image data are stored in the graphics memory.
  • the partial images are to be selected such that their current consumption differs from a respectively previously displayed (and to be overwritten) image. This gradual loading or reloading of the image data takes place in particular so fast that it is not visible to the eye of a viewer. For this it seems rather as if all pixels are displayed simultaneously.
  • a displayed image may be deleted before loading a new image, e.g. to monitor the decreasing power consumption.
  • a current difference can be determined, which occurs when changing from one stage to a subsequent stage. If the display device is operating correctly, the measured current difference corresponds to a calculated current difference, which is determined on the basis of the image data, which are different for the two stages.
  • the invention further relates to a device having an electronic display device with a screen and a graphics memory in which image data of an image displayed or to be displayed by the display device are stored or changed, a current measuring device, by means of which the current consumption or the change of the power consumption of Screen or the display device characterizing value (measured value) is or can be measured, and an evaluation, by means of which on the basis of the image data or the change of the image data, a current consumption or the change of the current consumption of the screen or the display device characterizing reference value and determines the measured value is or can be compared.
  • This device is used in particular for carrying out the method according to the invention and can be developed according to all the configurations mentioned in this connection.
  • the method according to the invention and / or the device according to the invention are preferably used for the diagnosis or for checking the display device of a selector lever device of a motor vehicle. From such a display device, e.g. the currently engaged gear of a transmission of the vehicle is shown.
  • the current measurement can be carried out via a shunt or by means of an inductance whose magnetic field proportional to the current via a magnetic field-sensitive element, such. a Hall element is detected. Depending on the application, the current measurement can be carried out in the supply line or in the ground line.
  • a specific number of pixels can be used as a diagnosis cluster by a hidden area of the screen.
  • these pixels can be switched on and / or switched off to identify the image for additional current consumption.
  • An advantage of the invention is the extended error diagnostic capability of such display devices with regard to the possibility of error in the driver IC of an OLED display device between the graphics memory and the OLED screen. In this case, the diagnosis of the display device via the current measurement.

Bei a color screen, each pixel may have a plurality, in particular three light-emitting diodes 18, which preferably emit light of different wavelengths.
  • a measuring resistor 6 is connected, at which a voltage U drops, which is measured by means of a measuring device 7. Since the voltage U dropping across the measuring resistor 6 is proportional to the flowing current I, the measuring resistor 6 and the measuring device 7 together form a current measuring device which outputs a measured value 15 characterizing the flowing current I to an evaluating device 8 which is electrically connected to the measuring device 7 is.
