›DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

The following content combines with the figures and the embodiments for describing the present invention in detail. It is obvious that the following embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention. For an ordinary person skilled in the art without any creative effort, other embodiments obtained thereby are still covered by the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 , a mobile terminal in accordance with one embodiment includes a display assembly. The display assembly includes a display 10 and a system chip 30 . In the embodiment, the mobile terminal is a mobile phone, and the display is a liquid crystal display.

The display 10 includes a display body 11 and a drive chip 13 mounted on the display body 11 . The drive chip 13 includes a receiving module 131 and a processing module 133 .

The system chip 30 includes a data analyzing module 31 , a data sending module 33 , and a control module 35 . The system chip 30 is connected to the drive chip 13 via a first data transmitting channel 51 and a second data transmitting channel 53 .

The data analyzing module 31 is used for receiving image data and analyzing the image data to obtain high bit data of the image data. The control module 35 is used for closing the first data transmitting channel 51 when the data sending module 33 receives the high bit data of the image data. The data sending module 33 is further used for sending the high bit data of the image data to the receiving module 131 of the drive chip 13 via the second data transmitting channel 53 . The processing module 133 is used for sending the high bit data of the image data from the receiving module 131 to the display body 11 of the display 10 to display.

In use, the mobile terminal is in the idle status, and the data analyzing module 31 receives image data and sends high bit data of the image data to the data sending module 33 . The control module 35 closes the first data transmitting channel 51 when the data sending module 33 receives the high bit data of the image data. The data sending module 33 sends the high bit data of the image data to the receiving module 131 of the drive chip 13 via the second data transmitting channel 53 . The processing module 133 sends the high bit data of the image data from the receiving module 131 to the display body 11 of the display 10 to display.

In the embodiment, the system chip 30 is also connected the drive chip 13 via a source line 55 and a control line 57 .

The system chip 30 analyzes the image data to obtain the high bit data of the image data and sends the high bit data to the drive chip 13 , thereby reducing the amount of data to decrease the power consumption of the mobile terminal. In addition, the system chip 30 closes the first data transmitting channel 51 before sending the high bit data of the image data to the drive chip 13 , thereby reducing the amount of data transmitting channels to further decrease the power consumption of the mobile terminal.

For a person skilled in the art, obviously, the present invention is not limited to the above exemplary embodiments disclosed herein. Besides, without deviating the spirit and the basic feature of the present invention, other specific forms can also achieve the present invention. Therefore, no matter from what point of view, the embodiments should be deemed to be exemplary, not limited. The range of the present invention is limited by the claims not by the above description. Accordingly, the embodiments are used to include all variation in the range of the claims and the equivalent requirements of the claims. It should not regard any reference signs in the claims as a limitation to the claims.
