Abstract

A displaying device, a terminal of the displaying device, and a display method are provided. The displaying device includes: a calculating unit, configured to calculate the active display area that shows the interface content and calculate an image area occupied by a display interface; a creating unit, configured to create image data in the image area and write the image data in the displaying unit; and a displaying unit, configured to display the corresponding information based on the image data. The displaying device may adjust the display area of the screen dynamically according to the display content to reduce the cost of the displaying unit.

Claims

1. A displaying device, comprising:

a calculating unit, configured to calculate an active display area and calculate an image area occupied by a display interface according to the active display area, wherein the active display area is an area that displays an interface content;

a creating unit, configured to create image data in the image area and write the image data in a displaying unit; and

the displaying unit, configured to display corresponding information based on the image data.

2. The displaying device according to claim 1, wherein:

the displaying unit comprises a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen and backlights; and

the displaying device further comprises a controlling unit, configured to control backlight switches of the displaying unit according to a backlight control command generated by the active display area.

3. The displaying device according to claim 2, wherein the calculating unit is configured to calculate the active display area based on the interface content.

4. The displaying device according to claim 3, wherein the LCD screen is an interactive LCD screen.

5. The displaying device in claim 4, further comprising:

an inputting unit, configured to receive user'"'"'s operation in the interactive LCD screen and deliver a command generated by the use'"'"'s operation to the calculating unit; and

wherein the calculating unit calculates the active display area according to the command and calculates the image area occupied by the display interface according to the active display area.

6. The displaying device according to claim 5, wherein the interactive LCD screen is a touch screen.

7. A terminal including a displaying device, the displaying device comprising:

a calculating unit, configured to calculate an active display area and calculate an image area occupied by a display interface according to the active display area, wherein the active display area is an area that displays an interface content;

a creating unit, configured to create image data in the image area and write the image data in a displaying unit; and

the displaying unit, configured to display corresponding information based on the image data.

8. The displaying device according to claim 7, wherein the displaying unit comprises:

a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen and backlights; and

the displaying device further comprises a controlling unit, configured to control backlight switches of the displaying unit according to a backlight control command generated by the active display area.

9. The displaying device according to claim 8, wherein the calculating unit is configured to calculate the active display area based on the interface content.

10. The displaying device according to claim 9, wherein the LCD screen is an interactive LCD screen.

11. The displaying device in claim 10, further comprising:

an inputting unit, configured to receive user'"'"'s operation in the interactive LCD screen and deliver a command generated by the use'"'"'s operation to the calculating unit; and

wherein the calculating unit calculates the active display area according to the command and calculates the image area occupied by the display interface according to the active display area.

12. The displaying device according to claim 11, wherein the interactive LCD screen is a touch screen.

13. A display method, comprising:

calculating an active display area, and calculating an image area occupied by a display interface according to the active display area, wherein the active display area is an area that displays an interface content;

creating interface image data in the image area, and writing the created image data into a displaying unit; and

performing a display according to the image data.

14. The display method according to claim 13, wherein after calculating the active display area, further comprising:

generating corresponding backlight control commands according to the active display area, and controlling corresponding backlight switches of the displaying unit.

15. The display method according to claim 13, wherein the calculating of the active display area comprises:

calculating the active display area according to the interface content.

16. The display method according to claim 15, wherein before calculating the active display area, further comprising:

receiving user'"'"'s operation in an interactive liquid crystal display (LCD) screen, and generating a command according to the operation; and
