DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIG. 1is a schematic diagram of a strip-shaped screen for displaying electronic labels. For example, as illustrated inFIG. 1, a strip-shaped screen may display a plurality of electronic labels, and each electronic label includes merchandise information such as the merchandise name, price, place of production, specifications, etc. Because the electronic label needs to be consistent with the merchandise placed at the position where the electronic label is located, when the position of the merchandise is adjusted, the display position of the electronic label on the strip-shaped screen needs to be adjusted accordingly.

At present, the strip-shaped screen usually adopts, for example, a touch screen, and the display position of the electronic label on the strip-shaped screen is adjusted by means of touch control. For example, the touch screen may be a capacitive touch screen, a resistive touch screen, an infrared sensing touch screen, etc. The advantage of the touch control method is that the operation is simple, and the electronic label can be directly dragged to the corresponding display position on the strip-shaped screen. However, the touch control method requires the additional authentication information and authentication system to avoid, for example, incorrect operations or other personnel operations, which may result in higher system costs for the strip-shaped screen. In addition, at present, remote-control methods such as infrared and Bluetooth remote controllers may also be used to control and adjust the display content on the strip-shaped screen, but these remote-control methods require the remote controllers to have a plurality of selection buttons, which is complicated to operate and has a high error rate, and operation records are difficult to be stored, which is not conducive to management.

At least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides a photoelectric selection signal control circuit. The photoelectric selection signal control circuit enables a signal control circuit to generate a comparison result signal under control of a selection signal and a lighting signal, and controls an output signal of an output circuit according to the comparison result signal, so that the photoelectric selection signal control circuit implements signal output under control of the selection signal and the lighting signal. Therefore, the photoelectric selection signal control circuit is jointly controlled by the selection signal and the lighting signal to achieve a circuit of selection mechanism, thereby optimizing the structure of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit, enabling the control method of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit to be simple and convenient, and facilitating practical application.

Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the same reference numerals in different drawings are used to refer to the same elements which have been described.

For example, as illustrated inFIG. 2, the photoelectric selection signal control circuit100includes an output circuit14and at least one signal control circuit, for example, the signal control circuit101. The signal control circuit101is configured to output a comparison result signal under control of a selection signal and a lighting signal, and the output circuit14is configured to output an output signal according to the comparison result signal.

The photoelectric selection signal control circuit provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure enables the photoelectric selection signal control circuit to implement signal output under control of the selection signal and the lighting signal by being provided with the signal control circuit and the output circuit. Therefore, the photoelectric selection signal control circuit is jointly controlled by the selection signal and the lighting signal to achieve a circuit of selection mechanism, thereby optimizing the structure of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit, enabling the control method of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit to be simple and convenient, and facilitating practical application.

It should be noted that the photoelectric selection signal control circuit provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure may include one signal control circuit as illustrated inFIG. 2, or may include a plurality of signal control circuits as illustrated inFIG. 3(referring to the description of the embodiment illustrated inFIG. 3below), and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this aspect.

For example, as illustrated inFIG. 2, the signal control circuit101of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit100includes an input circuit11, a photosensitive circuit12, and a comparison circuit13.

For example, the input circuit11is configured to receive a first voltage signal and output a first control signal under control of the selection signal.

For example, the photosensitive circuit12is configured to output a second control signal according to the first control signal under control of the lighting signal.

For example, the first voltage signal may be set as a high-level signal, and the second voltage signal may be set as a low-level signal. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this aspect.

By being provided with the input circuit, the photosensitive circuit, the comparison circuit, and the output circuit, the photoelectric selection signal control circuit provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can generate the second control signal when the input circuit is turned on by the selection signal and the photosensitive circuit is turned on by receiving the lighting signal, and the second control signal is compared with the second voltage signal to output the comparison result signal, so as to enable the output circuit to output the output signal according to the comparison result signal, so that the output circuit may implement signal output under joint control of the selection signal and the lighting signal. The photoelectric selection signal control circuit provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is jointly controlled by the lighting signal and the selection signal, so as to be designed as a circuit of selection mechanism, thereby optimizing the structure of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit, enabling the control method of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit to be simple and convenient, and facilitating practical application.

In this way, the plurality of signal control circuits including the input circuits, the photosensitive circuits, and the comparison circuits can achieve signal output of a plurality of branches.

In some embodiments, the plurality of signal control circuits are connected in parallel with each other.

For example, taking the photoelectric selection signal control circuit200including three signal control circuits illustrated inFIG. 3as an example, the photoelectric selection signal control circuit200includes three branches, that is, a first signal control circuit201, a second signal control circuit202, and a third signal control circuit203.

The comparison circuits of the three branches are all connected to the output circuit24.

Thus, the comparison result signals of the first signal control circuit201, the second signal control circuit202, and the third signal control circuit203are all transmitted to the output circuit24, and the output circuit24may implement signal output according to the comparison result signals of the three signal control circuits.

It should be noted that the contents of the input circuit, the photosensitive circuit, the comparison circuit, and the output circuit of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit200illustrated inFIG. 3may refer to the corresponding descriptions of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit100illustrated inFIG. 2, and details are not described herein again.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the output circuit includes an OR gate. An input terminal of the OR gate is connected to the signal control circuit and configured to receive the comparison result signal, and an output terminal of the OR gate is configured to output the output signal.

FIG. 4is a schematic structural diagram of a photoelectric selection signal control circuit provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, the photoelectric selection signal control circuit illustrated inFIG. 4may be an implementation example of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit200illustrated inFIG. 3.

Hereinafter, taking the case where the photoelectric selection signal control circuit200illustrated inFIG. 3is implemented by using the circuit structure illustrated inFIG. 4as an example, the specific structure of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit200provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is described with reference toFIG. 3andFIG. 4.

For example, as illustrated inFIG. 3andFIG. 4, the first input circuit11aincludes a first transistor Q101, the second input circuit11bincludes a second transistor Q201, and the third input circuit11cincludes a third transistor Q301. The first photosensitive circuit12aincludes a first phototransistor Q102, the second photosensitive circuit12bincludes a second phototransistor Q202, and the third photosensitive circuit12cincludes a third phototransistor Q302. The first comparison circuit13aincludes a first comparator U101, the second comparison circuit13bincludes a second comparator U201, and the third comparison circuit13cincludes a third comparator U301. The output circuit24includes an OR gate U1.

For example, referring toFIG. 3andFIG. 4, the input terminal of the OR gate U1is connected to the comparison circuit, for example, connected to the first comparator U101, the second comparator U201, and the third comparator U301, respectively, and is configured to receive the comparison result signal. The output terminal of the OR gate U1is configured to output the output signal.

For example, when the comparison result signal output by any comparison circuit of the three branches (for example, any one of the first comparator U101, the second comparator U201, and the third comparator U301) is a high-level signal, the output terminal of the OR gate U1of the output circuit24may output the output signal with a high level.

For example, referring toFIG. 3andFIG. 4, the photoelectric selection signal control circuit includes three branches (i.e., the first signal control circuit201, the second signal control circuit202, and the third signal control circuit203) and the OR gate U1, and each branch includes a transistor, a phototransistor and a comparator.

For example, the first branch includes the first transistor Q101, the first phototransistor Q102, and the first comparator U101. The control electrode of the first transistor Q101is used to receive a selection signal1, the first electrode of the first transistor Q101is used to receive the first voltage signal, and the second electrode of the first transistor Q101is used to connect the collector electrode of the first phototransistor Q102and output the first control signal to the first phototransistor Q102. The emitter electrode of the first phototransistor Q102is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the first comparator U101and outputs the second control signal to the first comparator U101, and the base electrode of the first phototransistor Q102is used to receive the lighting signal. The inverting input terminal of the first comparator U101is used to receive the second voltage signal, and the output terminal of the first comparator U101is used to output the comparison result signal to the OR gate U1.

For example, the first branch further includes a grounded resistor R101, and the grounded resistor R101is used to connect the emitter electrode of the first phototransistor Q102to the ground, thereby improving the stability of the first branch in the turn-on state.

For example, the first branch further includes voltage dividing resistors R102and R103which are connected with each other in series, a first end of the voltage dividing resistor R102is provided with a power supply voltage signal VCC, a second end of the voltage dividing resistor R102is connected to a first end of the voltage dividing resistor R103, and a second end of the voltage dividing resistor R103is grounded. Thus, the voltage dividing resistors R102and R103divide the power supply voltage signal VCC to form the second voltage signal at the junction of the voltage dividing resistors R102and R103(for example, the second end of the voltage dividing resistor R102or the first end of the voltage dividing resistor R103), so that the second voltage signal may be input to the inverting input terminal of the first comparator U101for signal comparison.

For example, the second branch includes the second transistor Q201, the second phototransistor Q202, and the second comparator U201. The control electrode of the second transistor Q201is used to receive a selection signal2, the first electrode of the second transistor Q201is used to receive the first voltage signal, and the second electrode of the second transistor Q201is used to connect the collector electrode of the second phototransistor Q202and output the first control signal to the second phototransistor Q202. The emitter electrode of the second phototransistor Q202is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the second comparator U201and outputs the second control signal to the second comparator U201, and the base electrode of the second phototransistor Q202is used to receive the lighting signal. The inverting input terminal of the second comparator U201is used to receive the second voltage signal, and the output terminal of the second comparator U201is used to output the comparison result signal to the OR gate U1.

For example, the second branch further includes a grounded resistor R201, and the grounded resistor R201is used to connect the emitter electrode of the second phototransistor Q202to the ground, thereby improving the stability of the second branch in the turn-on state.

For example, the second branch further includes voltage dividing resistors R202and R203which are connected with each other in series, a first end of the voltage dividing resistor R202is provided with the power supply voltage signal VCC, a second end of the voltage dividing resistor R202is connected to a first end of the voltage dividing resistor R203, and a second end of the voltage dividing resistor R203is grounded. Thus, the voltage dividing resistors R202and R203divide the power supply voltage signal VCC to form the second voltage signal at the junction of the voltage dividing resistors R202and R203(for example, the second end of the voltage dividing resistor R202or the first end of the voltage dividing resistor R203), so that the second voltage signal may be input to the inverting input terminal of the second comparator U201for signal comparison.

For example, the third branch includes the third transistor Q301, the third phototransistor Q302, and the third comparator U301. The control electrode of the third transistor Q301is used to receive a selection signal3, the first electrode of the third transistor Q301is used to receive the first voltage signal, and the second electrode of the third transistor Q301is used to connect the collector electrode of the third phototransistor Q302and output the first control signal to the third phototransistor Q302. The emitter electrode of the third phototransistor Q302is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the third comparator U301and outputs the second control signal to the third comparator U301, and the base electrode of the third phototransistor Q302is used to receive the lighting signal. The inverting input terminal of the third comparator U301is used to receive the second voltage signal, and the output terminal of the third comparator U301is used to output the comparison result signal to the OR gate U1.

For example, the third branch further includes a grounded resistor R301, and the grounded resistor R301is used to connect the emitter electrode of the third phototransistor Q302to the ground, thereby improving the stability of the third branch in the turn-on state.

For example, the third branch further includes voltage dividing resistors R302and R303which are connected with each other in series, a first end of the voltage dividing resistor R302is provided with the power supply voltage signal VCC, a second end of the voltage dividing resistor R302is connected to a first end of the voltage dividing resistor R303, and a second end of the voltage dividing resistor R303is grounded. Thus, the voltage dividing resistors R302and R303divide the power supply voltage signal VCC to form the second voltage signal at the junction of the voltage dividing resistors R302and R303(for example, the second end of the voltage dividing resistor R302or the first end of the voltage dividing resistor R303), so that the second voltage signal may be input to the inverting input terminal of the third comparator U301for signal comparison.

For example, the photoelectric selection signal control circuit further includes a resistor R1. A first end of the resistor R1is provided with the power supply voltage signal VCC, and a second end of the resistor R1is connected to the first electrode of the first transistor Q101, the first electrode of the second transistor Q201, and the first electrode of the third transistor Q301, respectively. The resistor R1is used to process the power supply voltage signal VCC into the first voltage signal to be input to each transistor.

For example, the output signal of the output terminal of the OR gate U1may be output to, for example, a decoding circuit, which can decode the output signal to obtain data information in the output signal. For example, the decoding circuit may be a microcontroller unit (MCU), that is, a single-chip microcomputer or a microcontroller.

The working principle of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below in connection with the circuit structure of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit illustrated inFIG. 4.

In the case where none of the phototransistors in the photoelectric selection signal control circuit receives the lighting signal, the second control signals received by the non-inverting input terminals of all comparators are low-level signals, and the inverting input terminals are provided with low-level signals because of the resistance division of the voltage dividing resistors, so that all the comparators output low-level signals, and the output terminal of the OR gate U1outputs a low-level signal.

For example, taking the first transistor Q101as a P-type transistor as an example, when the selection signal1is a low-level signal, the first transistor Q101is turned on. If the first phototransistor Q102receives the lighting signal during the period where the first transistor Q101is turned on, the first phototransistor Q102is turned on. Where the first phototransistor Q102is turned on, the voltage of the second control signal received by the non-inverting input terminal of the first comparator U101is higher than a voltage threshold set by resistor dividing at the inverting input terminal, the first comparator U101outputs a high-level signal, and therefore, the output terminal of the OR gate U1outputs a high-level signal. Similarly, in the case where the second transistor Q201and the third transistor Q301are P-type transistors, if the selection signal2or the selection signal3is a low-level signal, and the second phototransistor Q202or the third phototransistor Q302receives the lighting signal, the output terminal of the OR gate U1may also output a high-level signal, and details are not described herein again.

In this way, by the combination of the selection signal and the lighting signal, the turn-on state of any branch in the photoelectric selection signal control circuit may be controlled to implement high-level signal output at the output terminal, so that the photoelectric selection signal control circuit can achieve the selection mechanism.

It should be noted that the number of the branches of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit in the foregoing embodiments, that is, the number of the signal control circuits included in the photoelectric selection signal control circuit, is merely description of an example. In some other embodiments of the present disclosure, increase or decrease of the number of the branches may be changed according to different actual needs. In addition, components in the photoelectric selection signal control circuit may also be replaced by other types of components with similar functions and are not limited to the specific component types provided in the foregoing embodiments.

It should be noted that the transistors adopted in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be thin film transistors, field effect transistors, or other switching components with the same characteristics. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, thin film transistors are used as examples for description, but this does not constitute a limitation to the embodiments of the present disclosure. The source electrode and the drain electrode of the transistor adopted here can be symmetrical in structure, so the source electrode and the drain electrode can be structurally indistinguishable. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to distinguish the two electrodes (i.e., the source electrode and the drain electrode) of the transistor other than the gate electrode, one electrode is directly described as the first electrode and the other electrode is described as the second electrode.

It should be noted that the transistors in the embodiments of the present disclosure are all described by taking P-type transistors as an example. In this case, the first electrode of the transistor is the source electrode, and the second electrode of the transistor is the drain electrode. It should be noted that the present disclosure includes but is not limited to this. For example, one or more transistors in the photoelectric selection signal control circuit provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure may also adopt N-type transistor(s). In this case, the first electrode of the transistor is the drain electrode, and the second electrode of the transistor is the source electrode. The electrodes of the selected type of transistor are connected correspondingly with reference to the electrodes of the corresponding transistor in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and the corresponding voltage terminal provides the corresponding high or low voltage. In the case where N-type transistors are adopted, indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) may be adopted as an active layer of the thin film transistor, and compared with low temperature poly silicon (LTPS) or amorphous silicon (for example, hydrogenated amorphous silicon) being adopted as the active layer of the thin film transistor, the size of the transistor can be effectively reduced and the leakage current can be avoided.

At least one embodiment of the present disclosure further provides a display device, and the display device includes a control circuit, a display element, and the photoelectric selection signal control circuit according to any one of the embodiments of the present disclosure, such as the photoelectric selection signal control circuit100or the photoelectric selection signal control circuit200in the foregoing embodiments. The control circuit is configured to generate the selection signal and output the selection signal to the signal control circuit of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit, and is configured to control the display element to display according to the output signal of the output circuit of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit.

For example, the control circuit302is configured to generate a selection signal and output the selection signal to a signal control circuit of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit301, and is configured to control the display element303to display according to the output signal of the output circuit of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit301.

For example, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the photoelectric selection signal control circuit includes a plurality of signal control circuits, and the selection signal selects and turns on an input circuit of only one signal control circuit of the plurality of signal control circuits at any moment. The control circuit is configured to determine whether to start a decoding step at a current moment according to the output signal of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit, and is configured to continuously generate and output the selection signal to an input circuit selected at the current moment and continuously receive and decode the output signal to obtain authentication information and to enable a display control function in a case where the decoding step is started.

The display device provided by the above-mentioned embodiment of the present disclosure enables the input circuit of only one signal control circuit of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit to be selected and turned on at a certain moment through the selection signal provided by the control circuit, so that it is possible to detect whether the signal control circuit including the input circuit that is selected and turned on receives the lighting signal at that moment according to the output signal that is obtained. Therefore, the output signal obtained at any moment may correspond to a receiving state of the lighting signal of a certain signal control circuit of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit. For example, when it is determined that a signal control circuit receives the lighting signal, the control circuit continuously outputs the selection signal to the signal control circuit to maintain the turn-on state of the input circuit of the signal control circuit, and decodes the output signal of the signal control circuit to determine whether to activate the display control function corresponding to the signal control circuit.

For example, in the case where the photoelectric selection signal control circuit includes a plurality of signal control circuits, the control circuit can be used to enable the input circuits of the plurality of signal control circuits to be sequentially selected and turned on, so as to implement sequential scanning of the plurality of signal control circuits to determine whether the lighting signal is received.

Taking the display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure being used for the display of electronic labels as an example, the display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is described below.

FIG. 5Bis a schematic block diagram of another display device provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be noted that, except that the display device illustrated inFIG. 5Bincludes a signal receiving circuit20, other structures of the display device illustrated inFIG. 5Bare basically the same as or similar to the display device300illustrated inFIG. 5A, and details are not described herein again.

For example, as illustrated inFIG. 5B, the display device includes a photoelectric selection signal control circuit10, a signal receiving circuit20, a control circuit30, and a display element40. For example, the photoelectric selection signal control circuit10may be the photoelectric selection signal control circuit provided by any one of the embodiments of the present disclosure, such as the photoelectric selection signal control circuit100or the photoelectric selection signal control circuit200in the above-mentioned embodiments. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this aspect.

For example, the signal receiving circuit20is configured to receive a label control signal. For example, the label control signal can be used to control a display state of a label. For example, the label control signal may include a signal for controlling a label position state of the label and a signal for controlling a label arrangement state of the label.

For example, the control circuit30is configured to control the display state of the label according to the label control signal, and the display element40is configured to display the label according to the display state.

In the following, taking the photoelectric selection signal control circuit10adopting the circuit structure illustrated inFIG. 4as an example, the functions of elements or components of the display device illustrated inFIG. 5Bare described in combination with the embodiments of the photoelectric selection signal control circuits illustrated inFIG. 3andFIG. 4.

For example, the control circuit30is used to generate a selection signal and output the selection signal to the input circuit (for example, the first input circuit11a, the second input circuit11b, or the third input circuit11c) of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit10(for example, the photoelectric selection signal control circuit200). The selection signal selects and turns on only one of the first input circuit11a, the second input circuit11b, and the third input circuit11cat any one moment. For example, the selection process of the selection signal may be to sequentially select and turn on each of the branches in the photoelectric selection signal control circuit10. For example, the first branch is selected and turned on in a first period, the second branch is selected and turned on in a second period, the third branch is selected and turned on in a third period, and so on.

For example, the control circuit30is further configured to determine whether to start the decoding step at the current moment according to the output signal of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit10. Here, referring to the foregoing embodiments of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit, for example, in the case where the output signal of the output terminal of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit10is a high-level signal, the decoding step is started, otherwise the decoding step is not started. For example, in the case where the output signal of the output terminal of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit10is a low-level signal, the decoding step is not started.

For example, the control circuit30is further configured to continuously generate and output the selection signal to the input circuit selected at the current moment after the decoding step is started. For example, the input circuit selected at the current moment may be one of the first input circuit11a, the second input circuit11b, and the third input circuit11c. Here, in the case where a branch is simultaneously input with the selection signal and the lighting signal, the branch can be turned on and output a high-level signal as the second control signal. The control circuit30can determine the branch selected and turned on at each moment when the selection signal being generated. Therefore, when the output signal of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit10is received at that moment, the branch corresponding to the output signal being output can be determined, so that in the case where the output signal is a high-level signal, the selection signal can be continuously provided to that branch to enable the branch to be continuously turned on.

For example, in the case where the output signal of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit10is a low-level signal, the control circuit30sequentially provides selection signals to the first input circuit11a, the second input circuit11b, and the third input circuit11c. In the case where the output signal of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit10is a high-level signal, the process of generating the cycle selection signals by the control circuit30is interrupted, the selection signal is only continuously output to the branch currently determined, and the decoding process is started.

For example, the control circuit30is further configured to continuously receive the output signal and decode the output signal to obtain the authentication information and start the display control function, such as the label control function. Here, when the selection signal input to the branch allows the branch to be continuously selected and turned on, the output signal is only controlled by the lighting signal. That is, when a lighting signal is input to the phototransistor of the branch, the output signal of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit10is a high-level signal; and when no lighting signal is input to the phototransistor of the branch, the output signal of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit10is a low-level signal, so that the output signal can be changed by the change of the external lighting signal. In addition, the information provided by the output signal includes the information of the lighting signal, so that by encoding the lighting signal, the output signal that is output can include a series of corresponding coded signals, and then the required authentication information can be decoded from the coded signals. When the authentication information is authenticated, the display control function can be started to perform corresponding display control operations, and for example, the label control function can be started to control the display state of the label.

For example, the control circuit30is configured to control the display state of the label according to the label control signal. For example, the display state includes the label position state and the label arrangement state.

For example, the display element40is used to display a corresponding label according to the display state. For example, if the label control signal is a control signal for controlling the label position state, operations such as movement of the label in the display region to change the label position state can be implemented according to the content of the label control signal. If the label control signal is a control signal for controlling the label arrangement state, operations such as rearranging the label in the display region to change the label arrangement state can be implemented according to the content of the label control signal.

For example, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the signal receiving circuit20and the display element40can be implemented as touch display screens. For example, the label control signal received by the signal receiving circuit20may be a touch signal. Alternatively, in some other embodiments of the present disclosure, the method in which the signal receiving circuit20receives the label control signal may also be implemented by remote-control methods such as Bluetooth or infrared control, and the label control signal may be a remote-control signal or the like. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this aspect.

It can be seen from the above-mentioned embodiments that the display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure enables the photoelectric selection signal control circuit to have only one branch to be selected and turned on by the selection signal at a certain moment, and scans each of the branches in a sequential selection manner to determine whether any photosensitive circuit in the branches receives the lighting signal. When it senses that there is a lighting signal in a branch, the control circuit is used to keep the branch selected until the end of data information transmission. This method ensures that the control circuit can determine the specific branch to be selected and turned on, and further receive the output signal of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit under the control of the lighting signal to obtain encoded data formed by the output signal, so that the verification function is implemented based on the encoded data to enable the user to control the display of the display element, for example, enable the user to operate the label displayed by the display element.

In the case where the display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is used for displaying the label, the display state of the label can be controlled in combination with the photoelectric selection signal control circuit provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. For example, the display element of the display device may be a strip-shaped screen, the display region of the strip-shaped screen may be used to display a plurality of labels, and the display state of the label corresponding to a certain branch in the display region is controlled by the photoelectric selection signal control circuit, for example, the photoelectric selection signal control circuit is used to select a corresponding label and decode the output signal corresponding to the label. Thus, the technical problem of setting the display position of the label in the display device using the strip-shaped screen as the display element is solved, and the effect of conveniently moving the label in the display region is achieved, thereby solving the more complicated technical problems such as selection and display location setting when the user set electronic labels (for example, price labels) in real time in a supermarket scene, and facilitating practical application.

The working process of the display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is described below in connection withFIG. 4andFIG. 5B.

For example, the selection signal generated by the control circuit30sequentially selects and turns on each branch in the photoelectric selection signal control circuit10(for example, allows each signal control circuit of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit10to be turned on in turn). When a phototransistor of a branch receives a lighting signal, the level of the second control signal output by the phototransistor is higher than the set threshold value, so that the comparison result signal output by the comparator of the branch is a high-level signal, for example, the high-level signal may be represented as “1”. When the comparison result signal output by the comparator of any branch is “1”, the output signal of the OR gate U1is a high-level signal, for example, represented as “1”. Thus, the control circuit30receives the high-level output signal with the output of “1”, so that the aforementioned sequential selection process is interrupted, and the selection signal is continuously transmitted to the input circuit of the branch that outputs the “1” signal to allow the branch to be continuously turned on. The lighting signal received by the phototransistor (for example, the lighting signal output from the device, generating the lighting signal, to the phototransistor) is converted into a control signal through the output circuit, and the control circuit30receives the control signal and completes subsequent decoding operations, thereby obtaining the authentication information by analyzing the output signal. When the authentication information is authenticated, the display device starts the display control function, for example, starts the label control process, thereby completing the control of the display state of the label according to the label control signal.

In the whole control process, there is only one branch being selected and turned on at a certain moment in the photoelectric selection signal control circuit, and the sequential selection method is adopted to scan each of the branches of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit to determine whether any branch receives the lighting signal. When a branch senses the lighting signal, the selection of the branch may be maintained until the end of transmission of the output signal. This method ensures that the decoder can determine which branch in the photoelectric selection signal control circuit is selected and turned on, thereby achieving the control of the display state of the label corresponding to the branch.

For example, the output signal includes a preamble code, a synchronization code, a data code, and a verification code. The preamble code is used to start the decoding step to ensure that the controlled branch is selected and turned on, the synchronization code is used to ensure synchronization of timing, the data code includes data information to be transmitted, and the verification code is used to verify whether the transmitted data information is correct. For example, the verification code may be one of a group consisting of the inverse code of the data code, a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) code, and the like. It should be noted that the output signal is from the lighting signal, and therefore, the composition of the lighting signal also conforms to the arrangement regulations of the output signal, that is, including the preamble code, the synchronization code, the data code, and the verification code. Details are not described herein again.

For example, when the data code is transmitted by the output signal, the data “1” can be set as a high level, and the data “0” can be set as a low level. Therefore, when a branch is selected and turned on, the phototransistor in the branch is turned on under the control of the lighting signal, the second control signal provided to the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator is a high-level signal, and the high-level signal is output to the control circuit through the OR gate U1for decoding. Because only one branch is selected and turned on in the photoelectric selection signal control circuit at one moment, it is possible to reduce or avoid the interference of data transmission of other branch signals at the same time, and improve the reliability of the transmitted data information.

For example, the lighting signal may be generated and sent by a handheld control device, and the lighting signal is associated with the identity information or authentication information of the user who holds or uses the handheld control device, thereby enabling the output signal received by the control circuit to include the authentication information through the lighting signal.

Because the control circuit can determine the certain branch currently being selected and turned on by the selection signal, the data code transmitted through the output signal may be used as identity authentication information. For example, the handheld control device may be assigned to the permanent staff, so that the data code can be added to the system. Only the added data code can complete control operations, and the data code may be decoded and stored in the operation log during each operation. This method is not only convenient for the user to use, but also allows the user to complete the movement and selection of the display label by a direct control manner and further achieves the functions of identity authentication and the preservation of the operation log, thereby improving the convenience and reliability of the display device when being used for displaying the electronic label.

Hereinafter, the structure of the display device illustrated inFIG. 5Bwill be described by taking the strip-shaped display screen illustrated inFIG. 6AtoFIG. 6Eas the display element as an example.

For example, as illustrated inFIG. 6A, the display device includes a display element40(for example, a display screen), and a plurality of labels42can be displayed on the display element40. The positions of the frame41of the display element40corresponding to the labels42are respectively provided with exposed photosensitive circuits12a,12b,12c, and12d, and a corner of the frame41is further provided with a photosensitive circuit12e. For example, the above-mentioned photosensitive circuits12a,12b,12c, and12dare respectively included in the branches inside the photoelectric selection signal control circuit10to implement the receiving of the lighting signals of the photosensitive circuits in the branches of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit10.

For example, the contents of the settings and functions of the photosensitive circuits12a,12b,12c,12d, and12edescribed above may refer to the descriptions of the photosensitive circuit in the embodiments of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit100and the photoelectric selection signal control circuit200, which are not repeated here for simplicity.

For example, in the display region of the display element40inFIG. 6A, except for the positions used to display the labels, the remaining positions may be set to display a background picture or be inserted with an image such as a dynamic advertisement, so that the display region of the display element40can be fully utilized, for example, the strip-shaped display characteristics of the strip-shaped screen can be fully utilized.

For example, the display element40is used to display a plurality of labels, and the photosensitive circuits of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit10, such as the photosensitive circuits12a,12b,12c, and12d, are respectively provided corresponding to the positions of the labels, so as to control the display states of the plurality of labels in the display region.

For example, the display state includes the label position state.

For example, the control circuit30of the display device may be used to determine the corresponding photosensitive circuit according to the input circuit, selected at the current moment, of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit10, and determine the corresponding label42controlled by the label control signal according to the position of the photosensitive circuit. For example, referring toFIG. 6B, where the branch where the photosensitive circuit12bis located is turned on, the display state of the label corresponding to the photosensitive circuit12b, that is, the label including the content information of “BBB”, is changed. For example, “BBB”, “YYYYY”, etc. displayed on the label may be, for example, merchandise information such as merchandise name, price, place of production, specifications, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this aspect.

For example, the control circuit of the display device can control the label position state of the label42according to the label control signal to implement the control of the label position.

For example, the display element40can display the corresponding label according to the label position state. For example, referring toFIG. 6C, the display state of the label42which is selected inFIG. 6Bcan be controlled according to the label control signal, for example, changing the display position of the label42in the display region.

For example, the branch where the photosensitive circuit12bis located can be turned on by applying the lighting signal to the photosensitive circuit12b, so as to select the label42corresponding to the photosensitive circuit12b. For example, as illustrated inFIG. 6B, the label42corresponding to the photosensitive circuit12bis displayed being selected in the display region. For example, the border of the label42may be displayed as a dashed line as illustrated inFIG. 6Bto show that the label is selected. Alternatively, in some other embodiments of the present disclosure, the border of the label42may also be displayed as a curve, a broken line, or other suitable forms to show that the label42is selected, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this aspect.

For example,FIG. 6Cillustrates the display state of the display label selected inFIG. 6Bafter the label position is changed according to the label control signal. The display element40displays that the selected label moves from the position illustrated inFIG. 6Bto the position illustrated inFIG. 6C, so as to achieve the movement of the display label.

In this way, by applying the lighting signal to the photosensitive circuit at the specific position in the display device, the display state of the label corresponding to the photosensitive circuit can be controlled, thereby implementing the change of the display position of the label, for example, moving the label to other positions in the display region.

For example, as illustrated inFIG. 6D, the photosensitive circuit12eis provided on one side of the display element40. The display state of the label includes the label arrangement state.

For example, the control circuit30can be used to control the label arrangement state of the label42according to the label control signal if the photosensitive circuit corresponding to the input circuit of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit10selected at the current moment is the photosensitive circuit12eprovided on one side of the display element40.

For example, the display element40may display the label42according to the label arrangement state. For example, referring toFIG. 6DandFIG. 6E, where the branch where the photosensitive circuit12eis located is turned on, the label42displayed on the display element40is in the label arrangement state, so that in the label arrangement state, the display state of each label42can be controlled through the photosensitive circuit corresponding to the each label42.

In this way, the labels in the display region can be rearranged by applying the lighting signal to the photosensitive circuit on one side of the display element. With this arrangement function, selectable display labels can be arranged in the display region through the display element40for the user to quickly select.

In the above-mentioned embodiments of the present disclosure, the display element40may be a liquid crystal panel, a liquid crystal television, an OLED panel, an OLED television, a display, an electronic paper display device, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a digital photo frame, a navigator, and other products or components having display functions.

For example, the signal receiving circuit20and the control circuit30may be general-purpose processors, such as a central processing unit (CPU), and implement corresponding functions by executing computer instructions, which are represented as computer software in logic and form. For example, the signal receiving circuit20and the control circuit30may also be dedicated processors, which implement corresponding functions through firmware or coded instructions, such as the field programmable gate array (FPGA), application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), digital signal processor (DSP), etc. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this aspect.

In the above-mentioned embodiments of the present disclosure, the signal receiving circuit20and the control circuit30may be composed of elements such as transistors, resistors, capacitors, amplifiers, etc., or may also be implemented by signal processors such as the FPGA, DSP, MCU, etc., or may also include a processor and a memory, where the processor can execute the software program stored in the memory to achieve the corresponding functions. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this aspect.

The trigger circuit is configured to receive a trigger instruction from a user and send out a trigger signal, the signal generation circuit is configured to generate a lighting signal based on a preset code according to the trigger signal, and the signal sending circuit is configured to transmit the lighting signal to a photosensitive circuit of a photoelectric selection signal control circuit.

For example, the control device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be configured to provide the lighting signal to the photosensitive circuit of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit provided by any one of the embodiments of the present disclosure, such as the photoelectric selection signal control circuit100or the photoelectric selection signal control circuit200in the above-mentioned embodiments.

FIG. 7is a schematic block diagram of a control device provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, andFIG. 8is a schematic structural diagram of a control device provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure.

For example, as illustrated inFIG. 7andFIG. 8, the control device includes a trigger circuit51, a signal generation circuit52, and a signal sending circuit53.

For example, the trigger circuit51is used to receive the trigger instruction from the user and send out the trigger signal.

For example, the trigger circuit51includes at least one button (as illustrated inFIG. 8), and the trigger signal is sent out when the button is pressed, so that one-key operation is achieved through the button.

For example, the signal generation circuit52is used to generate the lighting signal based on the preset code according to the trigger signal.

For example, the lighting signal includes a preamble code, a synchronization code, a data code, and a verification code. The preamble code is used to start the decoding step, the synchronization code is used to ensure synchronization of timing, the data code includes data information to be transmitted, and the verification code is used to verify whether transmitted data information is correct.

For example, the signal sending circuit53is used to transmit the lighting signal to the photosensitive circuit of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit.

The control device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can control the turn-on state of the photosensitive circuit of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit by generating and outputting the lighting signal. For example, the photoelectric selection signal control circuit can be the photoelectric selection signal control circuit provided by any one of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Therefore, the control device can cooperate with the display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure to achieve the verification function such as identity authentication, thereby further enabling the display device to achieve the technical effects of simple operation and convenient use.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the control device includes only one button, and this one button guarantees the direct operation that what you see is what you get, so as to facilitate reducing incorrect operations and improve the accuracy of operations. In some other embodiments of the present disclosure, the control device may include more functions through the combination of more buttons. For example, as illustrated inFIG. 8, because of the addition of the operation combination of the buttons, the control device can be changed into remote control, so that more operation functions can be achieved. For example, in the case illustrated inFIG. 8, the data encoding of the lighting signal may further include a control code and an identity authentication code (the identity authentication code includes, for example, the preamble code, the synchronization code, the data code, and the verification code described above), which are not repeated here for simplicity.

For example, as illustrated inFIG. 8, the control device adopts a form of remote control. For example, a 5-button mode can be adopted. On the basis of an OK button, four buttons up, down, left and right are added respectively, so that the above four buttons can be used to achieve the fine adjustment of the label in the display region, such as the display position, thereby achieving the precise control of the display state of the label.

In addition, in the case where the display element of the display device adopts the strip-shaped screen, there is no need to set the fixed number of the electronic labels displayed in the display region, and more functions can be achieved by the addition and definition of the circuit being selected and turned on corresponding to the strip-shaped screen. For example, the display device may be used to drag more display labels in the display region, or drag the position of the display label, or enlarge or narrow the display label, etc. The above-mentioned functions can be achieved by adding selection circuits or by adding buttons (or multiplexing buttons) on a multi-function controller, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

In the above-mentioned embodiments of the present disclosure, the signal generation circuit52and the signal sending circuit53may be processors which implement corresponding functions through a processing unit with data processing capabilities and/or instruction execution capabilities in combination with corresponding computer instructions.

Step63: using the control circuit to continuously generate and output the selection signal to the input circuit selected at the current moment after the decoding step is started.

Step64: using the control circuit to continuously receive the output signal and decode the output signal to obtain authentication information and start the label control function.

Step65: using the signal receiving circuit to receive the label control signal.

Step66: using the control circuit to control the display state of the label according to the label control signal.

Step67: using the display element to display the corresponding label according to the display state.

It can be seen from the above-mentioned embodiments that in in the case where the display method of the display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is used for label display, the photoelectric selection signal control circuit is enabled to have the input circuit of only one branch to be selected and turned on (for example, only one input circuit is selected and turned on) by the selection signal at the same moment, and the branches of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit are scanned in a sequential selection manner to determine whether any photosensitive circuit in the branches receives the lighting signal. When it senses that a photosensitive circuit receives the lighting signal, the control circuit keeps the branch, where the photosensitive circuit is located, selected and turned on until the end of the data information transmission. This method ensures that the control circuit can determine the specific branch to be selected and turned on, and further receive the output signal of the photoelectric selection signal control circuit under the control of the lighting signal, thereby forming the coded data according to the output signal, so that the verification function is implemented based on the coded data to enable the user to control the display of the display element, for example, operate the display state of the label in the display region.

In the display method of the display device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the photoelectric selection signal control circuit can be combined to control the display of the display element, for example, the control method of the display state of the display label can be achieved. For example, the photoelectric selection signal control circuit can be used to control the display state of the label corresponding to one branch in the display region. For example, the photoelectric selection signal control circuit can be used to select the corresponding label and perform information decoding and other operations on the output signal corresponding to the label. Thus, in the case where the strip-shaped screen is used as the display element, the technical problems such as setting the position of the display label in the display region are solved, and the effect of conveniently moving the display label in the display region is achieved, thereby solving the more complicated technical problems such as artificial selection and display location setting when the staff set display labels (for example, price labels) in real time such as in the supermarket scene, and facilitating practical application.
