Further, after the user switches the EDID specification, the main control chip configures the IO port connected to the EEPROM storing the currently selected EDID specification as a low potential, and configures the IO port connected to the EEPROM not selected as a high potential.

Further, the voltage of the low potential is 0 volt, and the voltage of the high potential is 5 volts.

The following is a detailed description of the specific working principle of the present invention.

When the liquid crystal screen display circuit is designed, an HDMI input port is planned to be configured with two electrically erasable programmable read-only memories (EEPROMs), the two EEPROMs are respectively embedded with EDID data contents of HDMI2.0 and HDMI1.4, and an E0 address circuit is connected to a main control chip for control by utilizing the control that the EEPROMs are provided with E0, E1 and E2 addresses, so that a supply device can be switched to read which group of EDID, and the function of switching the HDMI resolution is actually achieved.

The function menu established in the user interface menu of the LCD is set as HDMI 1.4/2.0, and the standard specification of HDMI is to read the EEPROM addresses E0/E1/E2 configured by HDMI to be low potential 0 volt (V). With the specification requirement, when the lcd display is set to HDMI1.4, the main control chip sets the EERPOM address E0/E1/E2 configured in HDMI1.4 to low potential 0 volt (V), and sets the EEPROM address E0 of the HDMI2.0 EDID content to high potential 5 volt (V), so that the av device can read only the HDMI1.4 content EDID. If the user enters the user interface again and sets the HDMI2.0, the main control chip of the LCD firstly adjusts the EEPROM address E0/E1/E2, firstly changes the EEPROM address E0/E1/E2 configured by the HDMI2.0 to the low potential 0 volt (V), then sets the EEPROM address E0 configured by the HDMI1.4 to the high potential 5 volt (V), and then reconnects the audio-visual equipment by Hot plug control, and requests the audio-visual equipment to read the EDID of the HDMI interface again to complete the switching.

When the user connects the lcd display to the HDMI output device (e.g., DVD PLAYER), the HDMI output device will first read the EDID allocated by the lcd display to output the best resolution after the HDMI output device is powered on.

When the HDMI output device is HDMI1.4 standard, when the EDID of the lcd display is HDMI2.0 standard and cannot be interpreted and analyzed normally, the HDMI output device will not output complete video and audio signals, and the user may see abnormal frames, pink noise frames, black frames, or normal frames but no sound on the lcd display. After finding that the HDMI output equipment is abnormal, the user can still open the user function interface or the shortcut key as long as the picture exists, and 1.4 is selected from the HDMI under SETUP. When the user selects the HDMI1.4, the LCD main controller program immediately controls the external EEPROM matched with the HDMI input port configuration. After the HDMI 1.4/2.0 option is determined, the HDMI input port of the LCD monitor is reconnected to the device, and the picture can be displayed normally.

When the user switches the lcd display to the HDMI1.4 specification and then changes to the output device of the HDMI2.0 specification, the resolution of the screen cannot reach the maximum resolution of 5K 60Hz, and the above steps can be repeated to set the lcd display to the HDMI2.0 specification, so that the best resolution supporting the HDMI2.0 specification can be achieved.

By adopting the technical scheme, all the liquid crystal screen displays with the configured HDMI interfaces can use the structure of the invention to solve the problem that the HDMI equipment cannot be compatible with the HDMI 2.0/HDMI 1.4 with the highest resolution on a single HDMI interface. The technical scheme of the invention realizes the free switching of the HDMI 2.0/HDMI 1.4 specification on the same group of input interfaces by utilizing hardware planning and software programs, thereby saving the cost of a group of HDMI interfaces or saving a group of EDID SWITCH circuits for controlling specification switching and burning-in. The user can switch the HDMI interface version through the system operation menu, and the resolution can be switched to match with the video equipment to obtain the best resolution. The invention can support all output devices with the HDMI 2.0/HDMI 1.4 specification without changing circuit hardware and increasing cost, and provides a liquid crystal screen display with higher compatibility for users to use.
