Abstract

The invention discloses brightness compensation device and method. In order to avoid the brightness attenuation caused by the aging of a display, a non-volatile memory, such as a flash memory, can be used to store the accumulated value of the color brightness of each point and then compensate the attenuated brightness of each point. However, when data fault or temporary power fault happens during the writing of the non-volatile memory, the fault exists permanently and results in uneven brightness of the display, and therefore, in the invention, the data of the non-volatile memory are protected by adopting a multiple data backup and CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) error detection method and an old-new data comparison method to ensure that the right brightness compensation value is supplied to ensure the even brightness of the display.

Embodiment
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention; Be divided into several regions in described non-volatility memorizer such as the flash memory; Each block (sector) is filled in data error-detecging code (like the CRC character) in the zone, when sense data, if calculate the error-detecging code of gained and the error-detecging code that originally deposited in not simultaneously; Just the data of representing this block are wrong, and the corresponding Backup Data that at this moment can read back replaces the block of mistake.
As shown in Figure 2; The output of computing unit 104 and non-volatility memorizer 103 are as between flash memory; Further increase by a detector 201; This detector 201 can be used for writing and reading back of data check sign indicating number, also can whether correct according to being used to differentiate the legacy data of reading/write non-volatility memorizer 103 if differentiating the new data read/write non-volatility memorizer 103.Furtherly; This detector 201 can be used for checking the colour brightness value that colour brightness accumulated value that this computing unit 104 is exported and this non-volatility memorizer 103 are stored; If it is correct; The colour brightness accumulated value and the stored colour brightness value of this non-volatility memorizer that allow this calculation element to export are write this non-volatility memorizer and this volatile storage respectively, make that the brightness of display is even.
This detector 201 also can be divided into one first detector 201a and one second detector 201b; It is respectively applied for writing and reading back of data check sign indicating number, and whether being used to differentiate the legacy data of reading/write non-volatility memorizer 103, to differentiate the new data read/write non-volatility memorizer 103 correct.This moment this computing unit 104 output through this first detector 201a and the second detector 201b to this non-volatility memorizer 103, like Fig. 2 A.
Preferable, this data check sign indicating number can be the CRC sign indicating number.
Preferable, the criterion of this detector 201 can be differentiated according to following equation, like Y-X<K; Wherein Y will be for writing the new colour brightness accumulated value of this non-volatility memorizer, and X is original colour brightness accumulated value in this non-volatility memorizer, and K is the maximum difference of adjacent twice colour brightness accumulated value in the special time.Or like Y<X.
Therefore, when original colour brightness accumulated value is wrong in differentiating wrong this non-volatility memorizer 103 that does not then write this non-volatility memorizer 103 and read of new colour brightness accumulated value, then use the corresponding Backup Data of original colour brightness accumulated value.
If but Backup Data is wrong again, What then? So repeatedly backup can be more safer than one-time backup,, cost use more times space to come storage data but being non-volatility memorizer 103.
For saving the space of non-volatility memorizer 103, in another preferred embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 3 further specifies the relation of the Region Segmentation of non-volatility memorizer 103 corresponding to the data before and after adding up and height/low bit and partial data.
Zone A stores the partial data or the higher bit data of whole image luminance compensation, zone C 1~iThen only depositing low Bit data (i is an integer, is 7 in the present embodiment), is example with Fig. 3, has 8 zones and comes to store in turn data updated, so not only can increase the indegree of writing of flash memory, and the repeatedly function of backup is also arranged.For example, when from zone C 7The data of reading back wrong (like CRC error) can be grabbed zone C 6Data reply, though the data of adjacent area and incomplete same, difference is little, can not cause notable difference to the brightness and the color of display.If zone C 6Data also wrong, just can grab zone C 5Data reply, by that analogy.
Wherein to this flash memory, and capacity that should zone A is than this C 1~iAverage size be big.
But such region allocation mode still has a problem; Because the data of low bit regions must calmodulin binding domain CaM A the higher bit data be only real data; Just can't reply if regional A higher bit data are wrong, the way of solution is to increase the data that another area B backs up regional A, like Fig. 4.
Write one at every turn and write the Counter Value of writing indegree simultaneously when regional, so that can judge which zone is the data of final updating be in when starting shooting again? So the program after the start can be represented as follows:
(1) judges the zone that writes at last, suppose it is zone C i
(2) read in zone C simultaneously iWith the data of regional A, and whether judgment data is wrong, if the data in two zones are all correct, then combines low Bit data and higher bit data to obtain partial data;
(3) if zone C iRead in wrongly, then read in zone C I-1, if the wrong zone C of then reading in again I-2, the rest may be inferred; If the a-quadrant data are wrong, then read in the data of area B.Combine low Bit data and higher bit data to obtain partial data at last again.
