Various embodiments of the backlight driving control method of the present invention are proposed based on the hardware structure of the above-described backlight driving control apparatus.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a driving control method according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
In this embodiment, the drive control method includes the steps of:
step S10, when an image playing instruction is received, acquiring an image to be played according to the image playing instruction, and acquiring the required brightness of a backlight partition according to the image to be played;
at present, liquid crystal televisions are widely used, and occupy more and more important positions in daily life of people, and energy consumed by the liquid crystal televisions also attracts more and more attention. Because the backlight source is the largest energy consumer, the power consumption of the backlight is reduced, and the power consumption of the whole machine is also greatly reduced. The Local Dimming backlight time-sharing driving circuit (as shown in fig. 3) of the lcd television plays a very important role in increasing the density of the backlight light source and reducing the driving cost. The backlight time-sharing driving circuit shown in fig. 3 includes a driving power supply 10, an LED driving module 20, a control module 30, a plurality of power supply selection switches 40, a plurality of driving switches 50, a current sink a, and a backlight module 60. The driving power supply 10 is used for providing driving voltage for the backlight module 60; the backlight module 60 includes a plurality of LED lamps (which may be arranged in a matrix form) to provide a backlight source for a display screen of a multimedia device such as a television; the LED driving module 20 and the control module 30 may adopt discrete components to form a control circuit or an integrated chip to implement their control functions; the input ends of the power supply selection switches 40 are connected with the driving power supply 10, the output ends are connected with the anodes of the LEDs in a one-to-one correspondence manner, and are switched on/off according to the control signal of the control module 30 so as to control the LED lamps to be switched on/off the power supply; the input terminal of each driving switch 50 is connected to the cathodes of at least two LEDs, and the output terminal of each driving switch 50 is grounded via the current sink a, so that at least two LEDs multiplex one driving switch 50. Of course, in specific implementation, the backlight time-sharing driving circuit may be arranged in other forms.
For the time-sharing driving scheme of the backlight time-sharing driving circuit, the amplitude of the LED driving current is usually larger than that of the LED driven by the common driver; in general, the current amplitude of the N-path time-sharing driving circuit is approximately equal to N times of the direct current driving LED current; therefore, the HDR maximum current amplitude of the time-sharing driving circuit will be larger. The common driving control method adopts a single current amplitude to work (namely the maximum HDR current amplitude), then linearly calculates the duty ratio according to the signal brightness requirement, and carries out driving control according to the current amplitude and the duty ratio; when a large current (HDR) is used for calculation and driving control, the electro-optical efficiency of the LED is inevitably reduced, thereby improving the overall power consumption. In view of the above, the present embodiment provides a backlight control driving method, which uses the photoelectric parameters of the full white field as algorithm boundary points, and adopts two-stage ABL (Auto Brightness Limiting) to optimize the Brightness calculation algorithm, so as to reduce the energy consumption of the whole device and save the power cost.
Specifically, firstly, determining the photoelectric parameters of the time-sharing Local Dimming drive of the backlight time-sharing drive circuit, including the maximum photoelectric parameter of the full white field, the maximum photoelectric parameter of the HDR window, and the number N of backlight partitions; the maximum photoelectric parameters of the full white field comprise full-field white brightness LF, full-white-field current value IF and full-white-field current duty ratio DF; the maximum photoelectric parameters of the HDR window comprise HDR brightness LW, HDR window current amplitude IW and HDR circuit duty ratio DW. The set of photoelectric parameters can be set according to the actual hardware configuration condition of the driving circuit, and used for calculating the driving control parameters according to the set of photoelectric parameters.
In this embodiment, the control module may include an image processing unit, an ABL calculation unit, and a drive execution unit. When the control module receives an image playing instruction, a corresponding image to be played is obtained according to the image playing instruction, then the image processing unit processes brightness data of the image to be played, and required brightness data X of a Local Dimming backlight partition is calculated and generated. The image processing unit may be an SOC platform of a television chip, a special image processing ASIC, an image algorithm DSP chip, or an FPGA having an image preprocessing function. The required Brightness may be calculated according to a Brightness calculation formula RGB, namely Brightness ═ 0.3 × R +0.59 × G +0.1 × B (where R is red, G is green, and B is blue), or may be calculated according to other methods. When the required brightness data X are obtained, the image processing unit transmits the required brightness data X to the ABL calculating unit through a communication bus so as to calculate the driving control parameters; the communication bus can adopt SPI format, the communication clock frequency can reach 10MHz to improve the data transmission rate and ensure the response rate of drive control, and the communication bus can also adopt other high-speed synchronous communication formats.
Step S20, comparing the required brightness with a preset full white field brightness to obtain a brightness comparison result, and calculating a driving current value and a current duty ratio according to the brightness comparison result and the required brightness;
in this embodiment, when receiving the required luminance data X transmitted by the image processing unit, the ABL calculating unit may calculate the driving control parameter according to the required luminance data X. The ABL calculation unit in this embodiment may adopt a higher-order MCU with more than 32 bits (for example, more than ARM coordinate MO), or may complete related functions through a CPLD or an FPGA. Since the LED is driven and controlled in this embodiment, the driving control parameters mainly include a driving current I and a current duty ratio D (the current duty ratio refers to a ratio of the energization time to the total time in one pulse cycle).
In the embodiment, when the drive control parameters are calculated, the photoelectric parameters of the full white field are taken as algorithm demarcation points, and two-stage calculation is adopted; firstly, comparing the required brightness X with the preset full white field brightness LF, obtaining a brightness comparison result according to the size relation of the required brightness X and the preset full white field brightness LF, then selecting different calculation formulas according to the brightness comparison result, and substituting the required brightness X and related photoelectric parameters into the calculation formulas to calculate and obtain a driving current value I and a current duty ratio D. Because the drive control parameters (the drive current value I and the current duty ratio D) are calculated by a two-section ABL algorithm, the drive current value and the current duty ratio can be set to different values according to different required brightness of an image to be displayed (instead of uniformly setting the drive current to a fixed value) in the whole drive control process, so that the drive control algorithm is optimized, and the energy consumption is effectively reduced.
In this embodiment, when the driving current value I and the current duty ratio D are obtained through calculation, the ABL calculation unit transmits the driving control data to the driving execution unit through a communication bus (such as an SPI format) to perform driving control.
And step S30, performing driving control on the LEDs of the backlight partition according to the driving current and the current duty ratio.
In this embodiment, when receiving the driving control data (including the driving current value I and the current duty ratio D), the driving execution unit performs logical mapping on the LED backlight partitions according to the driving control data, and drives and controls the LEDs of each backlight partition to operate according to the driving current value I and the current duty ratio. The driving execution unit can be an integrated constant current driving chip comprising an internal MOS, or can be a constant current driving chip and an external MOS.
It should be noted that, for the constant current driving chip, each LED channel current may be set individually (i.e., each LED channel may have an individual current setting register), or a current setting register may be shared by a plurality of LED channels. When different circuit configurations are adopted, the ABL algorithm, the calculation formula selected in step S20 will be changed accordingly.
In the embodiment, when an image playing instruction is received, an image to be played is obtained according to the image playing instruction, and the required brightness of a backlight partition is obtained according to the image to be played; comparing the required brightness with preset full-white-field brightness to obtain a brightness comparison result, and calculating a drive current and a current duty ratio according to the brightness comparison result and the required brightness; and carrying out drive control on the LEDs of the backlight subarea according to the drive current and the current duty ratio. Through the mode, when the driving control is carried out, the photoelectric parameters of the full white field are taken as algorithm demarcation points, the sectional control algorithm is adopted, different driving current values and different current duty ratios are set according to different required brightness of the image to be displayed, so that the driving control parameters can be dynamically adjusted according to the actual display requirement, the driving control algorithm is optimized, and the energy consumption is effectively reduced; meanwhile, due to the adjustability of the driving current, the reliability of circuit devices such as LEDs can be enhanced, the service life of the circuit devices is prolonged, and the driving control cost is saved.
Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a refining process of comparing the required brightness with a preset full white field brightness to obtain a brightness comparison result, and calculating a duty ratio of a driving current and a current according to the brightness comparison result and the required brightness as shown in fig. 2.
Based on the foregoing embodiment shown in fig. 2, in this embodiment, each LED channel of the backlight time-sharing driving circuit has a separate current setting register, and step S20 includes:
step S21, comparing the required brightness with the preset full white field brightness, and judging the magnitude relation between the required brightness and the preset full white field brightness;
in this embodiment, for the constant current driving chip of the ABL calculation unit in the backlight time-sharing driving circuit, each LED channel has an individual current setting register; at this time, the constant current driving chip may be an IWAT7038 chip, or other types of chips may be used. And when receiving the required brightness data X transmitted by the image processing unit, the ABL calculating unit compares the required brightness X with the preset full white field brightness LF, and obtains a brightness comparison result according to the size relationship between the required brightness X and the preset full white field brightness LF.
Step S22, if the required brightness is less than or equal to the preset full white field brightness, determining the driving current of the required brightness according to the full white field current value corresponding to the preset full white field brightness, and obtaining the corresponding current duty ratio according to a preset brightness formula, the required brightness and the driving current;
in this embodiment, IF the required brightness X is less than or equal to the preset full white field brightness LF (X is less than or equal to LF), the driving current I of the required brightness X may be determined according to the full white field current value IF corresponding to the preset full white field brightness LF, and the current amplitude of the driving current I is uniformly set to the full white field current value IF, that is, I is equal to IF. At the moment, the current duty ratio D can be calculated according to a preset brightness formula, required brightness and driving current; the preset brightness formula is X-K1I-F (D); where X is the desired luminance, K1 is the conversion factor (K1 is greater than 0), I is the drive current (I ═ IF), and f (d) is a function of the current duty cycle.
According to the preset brightness formula, substituting the corresponding photoelectric parameters, i.e.The corresponding current duty cycle D may be calculated. It is worth noting that F (D) ≦ 2 for the function F (D) of the current duty cycleB1, where B is the image color bit depth to be played, e.g., for a bit depth of 12 bits, the current duty cycle F (D) ≦ 4095; when X is LF, f (d) is 4095.
Step S23, if the required brightness is greater than the preset full white field brightness, obtaining a current duty ratio according to the color bit depth of the image to be played, and obtaining a corresponding driving current according to the preset brightness formula, the required brightness, and the current duty ratio.
In this embodiment, if the required brightness X is greater than the preset full white field brightness LF (X > LF), the current duty ratio D is obtained according to the color bit depth of the image to be played, that is, f (D) is 2B-1, thereby calculating the current duty cycle. When the current duty ratio D is calculated according to the bit depth of the image to be played, the corresponding driving current I is calculated according to the preset luminance formula X-K1 × I f (D), where IF < I < IW (IW is the HDR window current amplitude, see step S10). The segmentation algorithm of steps S22 and S23 is shown in table 1 below.

Figure BDA0001508435850000111
Through the manner, the drive control parameters (the drive current value I and the current duty ratio D) in the embodiment are calculated by the two-segment ABL algorithm, so that in the whole drive control process, the drive current value and the current duty ratio can be set to different values according to different required brightness of an image to be displayed (instead of uniformly setting the drive current to a fixed value), thereby optimizing the drive control algorithm and effectively reducing energy consumption.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a refining process of comparing the required brightness with a preset full white field brightness to obtain a brightness comparison result, and calculating a duty ratio of a driving current and a current according to the brightness comparison result and the required brightness in fig. 2.
Based on the foregoing embodiment shown in fig. 2, in this embodiment, each LED channel of the backlight time-sharing driving current shares one current setting register, and step S20 further includes:
step S24, comparing the required brightness with the preset full white field brightness, and judging the magnitude relation between the required brightness and the preset full white field brightness;
in the embodiment, for a constant current driving chip of an ABL calculating unit in a backlight time-sharing driving circuit, each LED channel shares one current setting register; at this time, the constant current driving chip may be an IWAT7027 chip, or other types of chips may be used. And when receiving the required brightness data X transmitted by the image processing unit, the ABL calculating unit compares the required brightness X with the preset full white field brightness LF, and obtains a brightness comparison result according to the size relationship between the required brightness X and the preset full white field brightness LF.
Step S25, if the required brightness is less than or equal to the preset full white field brightness, determining the driving current of the required brightness according to the full white field current value corresponding to the preset full white field brightness, and obtaining the corresponding current duty ratio according to a first duty ratio formula, the required brightness and the driving current;
in this embodiment, IF the required brightness X is less than or equal to the preset full white field brightness LF (X is less than or equal to LF), the driving current I of the required brightness X may be determined according to the full white field current value IF corresponding to the preset full white field brightness LF, and the current amplitude of the driving current I is uniformly set to the full white field current value IF, that is, I is equal to IF. At this time, for the current duty D, calculation may be performed according to the first duty formula, the required luminance, and the driving current. The first duty ratio formula is
F(D)=(2B-1)*(X/LF);
Wherein F (D) is a function of current duty ratio, B is the color bit depth of the image to be played, X is the required brightness, and LF is the full white field brightness. Wherein, when X is LF, F (D) is 2B-1; if the bit depth of the image to be played is 12bit, f (d) is 4095.
Step S26, if the required brightness is greater than the preset full white field brightness, determining a driving current of the required brightness according to a preset HDR window current amplitude, and obtaining a corresponding current duty ratio according to a second duty ratio formula, the required brightness, the color bit depth of the image to be played, the preset full white field brightness, and an HDR brightness corresponding to the preset HDR window current amplitude.
In this embodiment, if the required luminance X is greater than the preset full white field luminance LF (X > LF), the driving current I at this time may be determined according to the HDR window current amplitude IW, and the current amplitude of the driving current I is uniformly set as the HDR window current amplitude IW, that is, I is IW. At this time, for the current duty ratio, calculation may be performed according to a second duty ratio formula, the required brightness, the color bit depth of the image to be played, the preset full white field brightness, and the HDR brightness corresponding to the HDR window current amplitude. The second duty ratio formula is
F(D)=K2*(2B-1)*(X-LF)/(LW-LF);
Where f (d) is a function of current duty ratio, K2 is HDR optimized luminance coefficient (K2 is greater than 0), B is color bit depth of an image to be played, X is required luminance, LF is full white field luminance, and LW is HDR luminance. The segmentation algorithm of steps S25 and S26 is shown in table 2 below.
