Detailed Description
Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example embodiments may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.
Furthermore, the drawings are merely schematic illustrations of the present disclosure and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and thus their repetitive description will be omitted. Some of the block diagrams shown in the figures are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically separate entities. These functional entities may be implemented in the form of software, or in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different networks and/or processor devices and/or microcontroller devices.
The present example embodiment provides a luminance compensation method applicable to backlight luminance compensation of a display panel. As shown in fig. 2, the brightness compensation method may include:
s1, acquiring first brightness corresponding to a preset gray scale of a display pixel at a first refresh frequency;
s2, acquiring second brightness corresponding to the preset gray scale of the display pixel at a second refreshing frequency;
and S3, acquiring the duty ratio of the compensation pulse width modulation signal PWMO according to the difference value of the first brightness and the second brightness.
The brightness compensation method provided by the exemplary embodiment of the disclosure can calculate the duty ratio of the compensation pulse width modulation signal PWMO according to the brightness values corresponding to different refresh frequencies under the same gray scale, and transmit the compensation pulse width modulation signal PWMO to the backlight module of the display panel, so as to compensate the brightness difference caused by the refresh frequency change through the automatic adjustment of the backlight brightness, so that the brightness before and after the refresh frequency change is basically kept consistent, thereby ensuring that the brightness of the display panel corresponding to different refresh frequencies under the same gray scale is basically consistent, which not only can bring good visual experience to users, but also can support the Freesync function.
Based on the above steps, before obtaining the luminances corresponding to different refresh frequencies, the luminance compensation method may further include: whether the refresh frequency of the display panel changes or not is detected, and a first refresh frequency before refreshing and a second refresh frequency after refreshing are obtained when the refresh frequency changes. Wherein, the change of the refresh frequency can be obtained by calculating and analyzing the change of the start signal STV.
In the LCD display device, a T-CON (Timing Controller) may be used to output signals required for a driving circuit of a display panel. The duty ratio of the pulse width modulation signal PWM of the backlight is synchronously changed when the T-CON itself sets the gray scale change, for example, the duty ratio of the pulse width modulation signal corresponding to the low gray scale backlight brightness a (1) nit is PWM (1), and the duty ratio of the pulse width modulation signal corresponding to the high gray scale backlight brightness a (n) nit is PWM (n).
In one embodiment of the present example, the corresponding relationship between the duty ratio and the gray level of the pulse width modulation signal PWM suitable for a typical refresh frequency may be stored in the lookup table in advance. In this case, the duty ratio of the compensation pulse width modulation signal PWMO may be equal to the sum of the duty ratio of the pulse width modulation signal PWM corresponding to the preset gray level at the typical refresh frequency and the duty ratio variation f [ PWM (n) ].
Based on this, fig. 3 shows a lookup table of the correspondence between the duty ratio and the gray scale of the pulse width modulation signal PWM suitable for a typical refresh frequency. It should be noted that: in order to simplify the expression, the duty ratio pwm (n) of the pulse width modulation signal is simplified as p (n), and the duty ratio variation f [ pwm (n) ] of the pulse width modulation signal is simplified as f [ p (n) ]. In this case, once the refresh frequency changes, the corresponding relationship in the lookup table needs to be corrected, that is, the duty ratio of the pulse width modulation signal PWM corresponding to the same gray level needs to be corrected, for example, the duty ratio change amount f [ PWM (n) ] of the pulse width modulation signal is added to the pre-stored duty ratio of the pulse width modulation signal PWM to obtain the compensated pulse width modulation signal PWMO.
In this embodiment, the duty ratio variation f [ pwm (n) ] of the pulse width modulation signal may be calculated by the following formula:
wherein f [ PWM (n) ] is the duty ratio variation of the PWM signal, Δ C is the luminance difference curve corresponding to different refresh frequencies, PWM (n) is the duty ratio of the PWM signal corresponding to the Ln gray scale, PWM (1) is the duty ratio of the PWM signal corresponding to the L1 gray scale, T is the transmittance of the display panel, a (n) is the backlight luminance corresponding to the Ln gray scale, and a (1) is the backlight luminance corresponding to the L1 gray scale.
For example, assuming that the brightness at Ln gray scale of a typical refresh frequency, such as 60Hz, is C nit, when the refresh frequency is switched from 60Hz to 40Hz, the front-back brightness difference is Δ C nit, at this time, the duty ratio variation f [ pwm (n) ] of the pwm signal is calculated by the above formula, and then the duty ratio variation f [ pwm (n) ] of the pwm signal is increased on the basis of the duty ratio pwm (n) of the pwm signal corresponding to Ln gray scale of the refresh frequency of 60Hz to be used as the duty ratio PWMO of the compensation pwm signal, and the T-CON is set to output the compensation pwm signal, so that the brightness before and after the refresh frequency change can be controlled to be substantially consistent.
In another embodiment of this example, the corresponding relationship between the duty ratio and the gray scale of the pulse width modulation signal PWM suitable for different refresh frequencies may be stored in the lookup table in advance. That is, the brightness difference caused by the refresh frequency variation is considered in advance when the lookup table is made, but the brightness difference is limited to the theoretical calculation, and the variation rule of the compensation value for each gray scale is not completely consistent with the actual brightness difference, for example, the brightness difference curve of the refresh frequency curve shown in fig. 4 is switched from 60Hz to 40Hz, the brightness difference of the middle gray scale region is larger, the brightness difference of the two gray scale regions is smaller, and the preset compensation value may not meet the variation rule, so it needs to be further corrected. In this case, the duty ratio of the compensation pulse width modulation signal PWMO may be equal to the sum of the duty ratio of the pulse width modulation signal PWM corresponding to the preset gray level after the refresh frequency is changed and the duty ratio variation f [ PWM (n) ].
Based on this, fig. 5 shows a lookup table of the correspondence between the duty ratio and the gray scale of the pulse width modulation signal PWM suitable for different refresh frequencies. It should be noted that: in order to simplify the expression, the duty ratio PWM (N) of the pulse width modulation signal before the refresh frequency is changed is simplified to P (N), the duty ratio PWM '(N) of the pulse width modulation signal after the refresh frequency is changed is simplified to P' (N), and the duty ratio variation f [ PWM (N) ] of the pulse width modulation signal is simplified to f [ P (N) ]. In this case, once the refresh frequency changes, the corresponding relationship in the lookup table needs to be corrected, that is, the duty ratio of the pulse width modulation signal PWM corresponding to the same gray level needs to be corrected, for example, the duty ratio change amount f [ PWM (n) ] of the pulse width modulation signal is added to the pre-stored duty ratio of the pulse width modulation signal PWM' after the refresh frequency changes, so as to obtain the compensated pulse width modulation signal PWMO. For the calculation of the duty ratio variation f [ pwm (n) ], reference may be made to the previous embodiment, which is not described herein again.
It should be noted that: the above steps S1-S3 are corresponding luminance compensation methods under the same gray scale and different refresh frequencies, so the preset gray scale before and after the refresh frequency is changed remains unchanged. However, the brightness compensation method provided by the present exemplary embodiment can also be used when both the gray scale and the refresh frequency are changed, and at this time, only the brightness difference caused by the gray scale change and the brightness difference caused by the refresh frequency change need to be considered comprehensively.
Based on this, the brightness compensation method may further include: and detecting whether the gray scale of the display pixel is changed or not, and acquiring the duty ratio of the pulse width modulation signal PWM corresponding to the changed gray scale according to the corresponding relation between the duty ratio of the pulse width modulation signal PWM and the gray scale when the gray scale is changed. Wherein, the change of the gray scale can be obtained by analyzing and calculating the Data signal Data.
Therefore, when it is detected that both the gray scale and the refresh frequency are changed, the duty ratio of the PWM signal PWM corresponding to the changed gray scale can be found in the lookup table, for example, when the gray scale is changed from L64 to L128, the duty ratio of the PWM signal PWM under the L128 gray scale can be found first; then, the brightness difference of the changed gray scale at different refresh frequencies is compensated according to any one of the two embodiments, for example, when the refresh frequency is switched from 60Hz to 40Hz, the duty ratio of the compensation pulse width modulation signal PWM is obtained for the brightness corresponding to the L128 gray scale.
The present exemplary embodiment also provides a luminance compensation apparatus applied to backlight luminance compensation of a display panel. As shown in fig. 6, the luminance compensation device 60 may include:
the first detection module 601 is configured to obtain first brightness corresponding to a preset gray scale of a display pixel at a first refresh frequency;
a second detecting module 602, configured to obtain a second brightness corresponding to a preset gray scale of a display pixel at a second refresh frequency;
the calculating module 603 is configured to obtain a duty ratio of the compensated pwm signal according to a difference between the first brightness and the second brightness.
The brightness compensation device 60 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure may calculate the duty ratio of the compensation pulse width modulation signal PWMO according to the brightness values corresponding to different refresh frequencies at the same gray scale, and transmit the compensation pulse width modulation signal PWMO to the backlight module of the display panel, so as to compensate the brightness difference caused by the refresh frequency change by automatically adjusting the backlight brightness, so that the brightness before and after the refresh frequency change is substantially consistent, thereby ensuring that the brightness of the display panel corresponding to different refresh frequencies at the same gray scale is substantially consistent, which not only provides a good visual experience for a user, but also supports the Freesync function.
In this exemplary embodiment, the luminance compensation apparatus 60 may further include a frequency detecting module 604, configured to detect whether a refresh frequency of the display panel changes, and obtain a first refresh frequency before the refresh and a second refresh frequency after the refresh when the refresh frequency changes. Wherein, the change of the refresh frequency can be obtained by calculating and analyzing the change of the start signal STV.
In consideration of the fact that different gray-scale brightness needs to be controlled by the pulse width modulation signals PWM with different duty ratios, the present exemplary embodiment may store the correspondence between the duty ratios of the pulse width modulation signals PWM and the gray scales in the lookup table in advance.
In one embodiment of the present example, the corresponding relationship between the duty ratio and the gray scale of the pulse width modulation signal PWM suitable for a typical refresh frequency as shown in fig. 3 may be stored in a lookup table in advance. In this case, the duty ratio of the compensation pulse width modulation signal PWMO may be equal to the sum of the duty ratio of the pulse width modulation signal PWM corresponding to the preset gray level at the typical refresh frequency and the duty ratio variation f [ PWM (n) ].
In this embodiment, the duty ratio variation of the pulse width modulation signal may be calculated by using the following formula:
wherein f [ PWM (n) ] is the duty ratio variation of the PWM signal, Δ C is the luminance difference curve corresponding to different refresh frequencies, PWM (n) is the duty ratio of the PWM signal corresponding to the Ln gray scale, PWM (1) is the duty ratio of the PWM signal corresponding to the L1 gray scale, T is the transmittance of the display panel, a (n) is the backlight luminance corresponding to the Ln gray scale, and a (1) is the backlight luminance corresponding to the L1 gray scale.
In another embodiment of this example, the corresponding relationship between the duty ratio and the gray scale of the pulse width modulation signal PWM suitable for different refresh frequencies shown in fig. 5 may be stored in a lookup table in advance. In this case, the duty ratio of the compensation pulse width modulation signal PWMO may be equal to the sum of the duty ratio of the pulse width modulation signal PWM corresponding to the preset gray level after the refresh frequency is changed and the duty ratio variation f [ PWM (n) ]. And the duty ratio of the pulse width modulation signal PWM corresponding to the preset gray scale after the refreshing frequency is changed is already taken into account when the look-up table is preset.
Considering that the brightness compensation device 60 can also be applied to the case where both the gray scale and the refresh frequency are changed, the brightness compensation device can further include: the gray scale detecting module 605 is configured to detect whether a gray scale of the display pixel changes, and obtain a duty ratio of the pulse width modulation signal PWM corresponding to the changed gray scale according to a correspondence between the duty ratio of the pulse width modulation signal PWM and the gray scale when the gray scale changes. Wherein, the change of the gray scale can be obtained by analyzing and calculating the Data signal Data.
Therefore, when the gray scale and the refresh frequency are detected to be changed, the duty ratio of the pulse width modulation signal PWM corresponding to the changed gray scale can be found in the lookup table, and then the brightness difference of the changed gray scale at different refresh frequencies is compensated.
It should be noted that: the details of the brightness compensation device 60 have been described in detail in the corresponding brightness compensation method, and are not described herein again.
Based on any of the above embodiments and the corresponding lookup table, the correspondence between the duty ratio and the gray level of the PWM signal before and after the refresh frequency change can be stored in the lookup table. On the basis, when the brightness compensation device 60 provided in the present exemplary embodiment is applied to a signal control device, such as a TCON, as shown in fig. 7, the TCON can directly look up the duty ratio of the corresponding compensated pwm signal PWMO in the look-up table 600 generated by the brightness compensation device 60, and output the duty ratio to the backlight module through the output module 607 to perform brightness compensation on the pwm signal PWMI of the input module 606.
The present exemplary embodiment also provides a display device including a display panel, a backlight module for providing a light source for the display panel, a backlight driver for driving the backlight module, and a TCON for providing a pulse width modulation signal PWM for the backlight driver. The TCON may be provided with the brightness compensation device 60.
Therefore, the display device compensates the brightness difference caused by the change of the refresh frequency through the automatic adjustment of the backlight brightness, and the brightness difference before and after the change of the refresh frequency can be smaller than the preset value, so that the brightness of the display panel under the same gray scale and different refresh frequencies is basically consistent, good visual experience can be brought to a user, and the Freesync function can be supported.
It should be noted that: the display device may include any product or component with a display function, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a liquid crystal television, a notebook computer, a digital photo frame, a navigator, a TPC, and the like.
It should be noted that although in the above detailed description several modules or units of the device for action execution are mentioned, such a division is not mandatory.
