Abstract
The invention relates to an ordinary constant flow source driving chip-based method for controlling grey scale display of a light-emitting diode (LED). In the method, gray scales, which are scattered in two different refreshing periods and only account for a half of output enabling (OE) subfield time, of an image in the same frame period are integrated into one refreshing period and gray scales which are scattered in four different refreshing periods and only account for a quarter of the OE subfield time are integrated into one refreshing period, namely, gray scales, which are scattered in N different refreshing periods and only account for one Nth of the OE subfield time, in the same frame period are integrated into one refreshing period so as to form a complete OE subfield and make full use of the subfield time. Under the control of a specific algorithm in a control system, an ordinary constant flow source driving chip can meet all requirements and achieve the effects of high refreshing rate, high gray scale, high picture quality, high LED utilization ratio and smooth gray scale transition, so that the raw material cost of LED display equipment is saved. Certain performance of the ordinary constant flow source driving chip controlled by the method is even superior to that of a built-in pulse-width modulation constant flow source driving chip.
Description
One, technical field
Technical field is that LED shows the field under the present invention.The LED image display control technology of the band gray scale that especially common constant current source chip for driving drives comprises LED big screen display screen, LED lamp bar, LED lamp decoration etc.
Two, background technology
The control method based on common constant current source chip for driving of main flow is that (the image frame per second based on the PC computing machine commonly used is 60Hz with the source image frame cycle in the industry at present; Its frame period is 16.66ms) be divided into some refresh cycles, these refresh cycle sums are exactly the refresh rate of LED display device with the product of source images frame per second.In each refresh cycle, show each GTG successively, thereby high GTG demonstration time of weight longly produces different gray scales according to weight separately.It is fixing to be subject to the source image frame cycle, and this control method can't solve the contradiction between the increasingly high refresh rate of current LED display requirement, increasingly high GTG, increasingly high LED utilization factor, more level and smooth these performance requirements of gray scale performance.Because higher refresh rate means the fixing source image frame cycle is divided into the more refresh cycle, the shared time of each refresh cycle still less can't show more high gray; Simultaneously, show that more high gray certainly will produce more how little OE pulsewidth, thus these little OE pulsewidths some can't be influenced LED display device grayscale transition flatness by the performance of common constant current source chip for driving, influence image quality; Promptly enable by other GTG of middle grade of common constant current source chip for driving performance, its OE weight still is not enough to take a whole OE field time, causes the LED utilization factor to reduce, and the luminance loss is bigger.
Along with the development of LED display industry, its to refresh rate, grey exponent number require increasingly high to satisfy demands such as graceful image quality, live no vision flicker, high LED utilization factor.Can satisfy these requirements preferably though build PWM constant current source chip for driving in occurring on the market at present, thus since in build the more common constant current source chip for driving of PWM chip for driving cost cost and exceed several times that LED display device raw materials cost is increased is many.And the display control unit based on common constant current source chip for driving of current main flow in the industry can't solve the contradiction between high refresh rate, low brightness losses, the high gray.
Three, summary of the invention
The present invention seeks to: propose a kind of method of the control common LED based on common constant current source chip for driving, make its driving LED display device, especially critical natures such as the refresh rate of LED big screen display screen, high gray, GTG transition satisfy the demands simultaneously.
Technical scheme of the present invention is: based on the LED gray scale display control method of common constant current source chip for driving; In the same frame period with image; The gray scale that only accounts for 1/2 OE field time that is dispersed in 2 different refresh cycles is incorporated into a refresh cycle, also comprises in addition the gray scale that only accounts for 1/4 OE field time that is dispersed in 4 different refresh cycles is incorporated into a refresh cycle ... The rest may be inferred (that is: the GTGs that only accounts for 1/N OE field time of the N in the same frame period different refresh cycles is incorporated into a refresh cycle and makes full use of sub-field time to constitute complete OE).
If one based on common constant current source chip for driving and use the LED display of traditional gradation control method; Its grey exponent number is 8 (8bits); Be that R, G, B respectively have 256 gray scales (expressible color is 256 x, 256 x 256=16,777,216 looks); If the sub-field time of GTG is T; And its high gray time is 8T, and the 8bits GTG time is respectively 8T, 4T, 2T, T, T, T, T, T (total GTG time is 19T in the refresh cycle) so, and its effective OE time is respectively 8T, 4T, 2T, T, T/2, T/4, T/8, T/16 (the OE calendar time is (16-1/16) T in the refresh cycle).If the frame period is F (if the image frame per second is 60Hz, then F=16.666ms), the refresh cycle number is F/ (19T) so; Refresh rate is about 1s/ (19T); Minimum OE pulsewidth is T/16, and the LED utilization factor is about (16-1/16) T/ (19T)=83.88%, and the luminance loss is about (1-83.88%)=16.12%.
In like manner; When requiring grey exponent number to be 16 (16bits), promptly R, G, B respectively have 65536 gray scales (expressible color is 65536x65536x65536=281,474; 976; 710,656 looks), the 16bits GTG time is respectively 8T, 4T, 2T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T (total GTG time is 28T in the refresh cycle); And its effective OE time is respectively 8T, 4T, 2T, T, T/2, T/4, T/8, T/16, T/32, T/64, T/128, T/256, T/512, T/1024, T/2048, T/4096 (the OE calendar time is (16-1/4096) T in the refresh cycle); Refresh cycle is counted R=F/ (27T) so, and refresh rate is about 1s/ (27T), and minimum OE pulsewidth is T/4096; The LED utilization factor is about (16-1/4096) T/ (27T)=59.26%, and the luminance loss is about (1-59.26%)=40.74%.
This shows that classic method control is based on the LED display of common constant current source chip for driving, grey exponent number is high more; Its refresh rate is low more; The LED utilization factor is low more, and the luminance loss is high more, and minimum OE pulsewidth is more little so that can't be showed by the LED chip for driving; Thereby cause grayscale transition unsmooth, adverse effect such as image quality is not good enough.And under equal conditions, the present invention can make above-mentioned each performance parameter roughly satisfy following formula:
During the 8bits GTG: the refresh cycle counts R and satisfies: 15R+even (R/2)+even (R/4)+even (R/8)+even (R/16)=F/T; (wherein, even () function is the function that rounds up, and promptly decimal place is advanced 1 processing).Minimum OE pulsewidth is: (R% 16) T, (wherein, % is for getting surplus meeting); The LED utilization factor is: ((16-1/16) RT/F) * 100%;
The luminance loss is: 100%-((16-1/16) RT/F) * 100%;
During the 16bits GTG:
Refresh cycle counts R and satisfies: 15R+even (R/2)+even (R/4)+even (R/8)+even (R/16)+even (R/32)+even (R/64)+even (R/128)+even (R/256)+even (R/512)+even (R/1024)+even (R/2048)+even (R/4096)=F/T;
Wherein, even () function is the function that rounds up, and promptly decimal place is advanced 1 processing).
Minimum OE pulsewidth is: (R% 4096) T, (wherein, % is for getting surplus meeting);
The LED utilization factor is: ((16-1/4096) RT/F) * 100%;
The luminance loss is: 100%-((16-1/4096) RT/F) * 100%;
Sub-field time T is by LED display addressing number and the decision of data clock frequency/period; Like the addressing number is 512; The data clock frequency is 12.5MHz (cycle is 80ns), and so sub-field time T=128x80ns=10.24us can draw the following table of comparisons for 1/4 scan screen:
This shows; The V-PWM technology is to the comprehensive lifting of these critical natures of LED display; Thereby can realize high refresh rate, high LED utilization factor, low brightness losses and can be promoted image quality (current common constant current source chip for driving can show other minimum OE pulsewidth of 35ns level, as MBI5036 etc.) fully by the minimum OE pulsewidth that common constant current source is obtained the chip performance.
Like this, can't almost do not existed by the minimum pulsewidth OE of the low GTG of common constant current source chip for driving performance, grayscale transition is more level and smooth, and image quality is better.And the almost whole maximum usings in all OE fields, the LED utilization factor also just significantly improves, and the luminance loss significantly reduces, and the time that remains out after integrating simultaneously can continue to distribute the more refresh cycle, thus also just significantly raising of refresh rate.
Useful result of the present invention: solved the contradiction between many critical natures that the insurmountable LED display device of traditional main flow control method based on common constant current source chip for driving requires.Be based on common constant current source chip for driving LED display device each item performance requirement and all be met, avoid the use of than the constant current source chip for driving of building PWM in expensive, thus the raw materials cost of saving LED display device.And the present invention adopts special algorithm to control common constant current source chip for driving from the control system aspect also to satisfy above-mentioned all requirements; Reach high refresh rate simultaneously; High gray high image quality, high LED utilization factor, grayscale transition are level and smooth, thereby save the raw materials cost of LED display device.On some performance, build PWM constant current source chip for driving by the common constant current source chip for driving of the present invention control even in surpassing.
