Abstract

The invention discloses a brightness compensation device and a brightness compensation method. In order to solve the problem that the brightness of a display decays due to ageing, an accumulated value of color brightness of each point can be stored by using a non-volatile memory such as a flash memory, and then the decayed brightness of each point is compensated. However, if a data error occurs or power temporarily fails when data are written into the non-volatile memory, the error exists forever, and the brightness of the display is led to be uneven. Therefore, in the brightness compensation method, a multiple data backup method, a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error detection method plus an old-new data comparison method are adopted to protect the data of the non-volatile memory, so as to enable the non-volatile memory to provide correct brightness compensation values and enable the brightness of the display to be even.

Embodiment
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, described non-volatility memorizer is as being divided into some regions in flash memory, in region, each block (sector) is filled in data error-detecging code (as CRC character), in the time of sense data, if when the error-detecging code of calculating gained is different with the error-detecging code originally depositing in, just the data that represent this block are wrong, and the corresponding Backup Data that at this moment can read back replaces wrong block.
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, whether this detector 201 can be used for writing and reading back of data check code, also can be correct according to the new data of the legacy data differentiation read/write non-volatility memorizer 103 for differentiating read/write non-volatility memorizer 103.Furtherly, this detector 201 can be used for the colour brightness accumulated value and the stored colour brightness value of this non-volatility memorizer 103 that check that this computing unit 104 is exported, if correct, allow colour brightness accumulated value and the stored colour brightness value of this non-volatility memorizer that this calculation element is exported to be write respectively this non-volatility memorizer and this volatile storage, make the brightness of display even.
This detector 201 also can be divided into one first detector 201a and one second detector 201b, it is respectively used to writing and reading back of data check code, and whether correct for differentiating the legacy data of read/write non-volatility memorizer 103 if differentiating the new data of read/write non-volatility memorizer 103.The now output of this computing unit 104 through this first detector 201a and the second detector 201b to this non-volatility memorizer 103, as Fig. 2 A.
Preferably, this data check code can be CRC code.
Preferably, the criterion of this detector 201 can be differentiated according to following equation, as Y-X < K; Wherein Y will write 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 a special time.Or as Y < X.
Therefore,, when differentiating when wrong to original colour brightness accumulated value in wrong this non-volatility memorizer 103 that does not write this non-volatility memorizer 103 and read of new colour brightness accumulated value, use Backup Data corresponding to 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, but storage data is carried out in the space that cost is more times of non-volatility memorizer 103 use.

Region A stores partial data or the higher bit data of whole picture brightness compensation, region C 1~ionly deposit low Bit data (i is integer, is 7 in the present embodiment), take Fig. 3 as example, have 8 regions and store in turn the data of renewal, so not only can increase the indegree of writing of flash memory, also have the repeatedly function of backup.For example,, when from region C 7the data wrong (as CRC error) of reading back, can grab region C 6data reply, although the data of adjacent area incomplete same, difference is little, can not cause notable difference to the brightness of display and color.If region C 6data also wrong, just can grab region C 5data reply, by that analogy.
Wherein to this flash memory, and this C of the capacity of this region A 1~iaverage size be large.
But such region allocation mode still has a problem, because the data of low bit regions must calmodulin binding domain CaM A higher bit data be only real data, just cannot reply if region A higher bit data are wrong, solution is the data that increase another region B backs up region A, as Fig. 4.
While writing a region, can the Counter Value of writing indegree be write, to can judge which region is the data of final updating be in while again starting shooting at every turn simultaneously? so the program after start can be expressed as follows:
(1) region that judgement finally writes, supposes it is region C i;
(2) read in region C simultaneously iwith the data of region A, and judge that whether data are wrong, if the data in two regions are all correct, obtain partial data in conjunction with low Bit data and higher bit data;
(3) if region C iread in wrongly, read in region C i-1if, the wrong region C that reads in again i-2, the rest may be inferred; If a-quadrant data are wrong, read in the data of region B.Finally obtain partial data in conjunction with low Bit data and higher bit data again.
Fig. 5 further illustrates another preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is about a kind of consistent wiring method of reading of colour brightness accumulated value making in a luminance compensating mechanism, this luminance compensating mechanism and a drive integrated circult operate jointly to drive a display, and the method comprises:
