Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. It is to be understood that the described embodiments are merely a few embodiments of the invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the described embodiments of the invention without any inventive step, are within the scope of protection of the invention. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be noted that the features in the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other without conflict.
In the description of the present application, "resolution of an image" refers to the number of pixels contained per inch and is denoted by PPI.
In order to obtain a high-definition display effect, generally, the entire area of an image has a high resolution, and therefore, a large amount of image data needs to be transmitted. However, in the conventional data interface, the transmission of image data is limited due to the insufficient bandwidth of the data interface. In addition, in the foveal region of the human eye, a high density of cones is distributed, which cones have the best visual resolution. And the cone cell density gradually decreases and the visual resolution and perception capability correspondingly decreases when the cone cell deviates from the center of the human eye to a certain angle. Therefore, the viewer is more sensitive to the resolution of the image within the central region of the human eye and is less sensitive to the resolution of the image outside the central region of the human eye when viewing the image.
The lcd panel generally includes a display panel and a backlight module for providing light to the display panel. When the local part of the displayed image has a lower gray value, if the backlight module still presents a full-bright state, the light leakage phenomenon occurs at the local part of the display panel which needs to present the lower gray value. Therefore, the backlight brightness value of the backlight module needs to be adjusted locally according to the gray-scale value of the image. The display panel can be divided into a plurality of backlight partitions, and the backlight module can adjust the backlight brightness value of each backlight partition. This can prevent the light leakage phenomenon and also improve the contrast of the displayed image.
Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a method for controlling display of a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, in step 102, a low-definition image of the image is acquired. The resolution of the low-definition image is also referred to as "first resolution", and generally, the first resolution is lower than the original resolution of the image. In embodiments of the present invention, several pixels of an image may be compressed into one pixel to generate a low-definition image. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other methods of acquiring low-definition images may be used. In one example embodiment, the first resolution may be greater than or equal to one-fourth of the original resolution and less than the original resolution.
In step 104, a high definition image of a first region of an image is acquired. The resolution of the high-definition image is also referred to as "second resolution", wherein the second resolution is higher than the first resolution. In an embodiment of the invention, each pixel in the first area may be rendered into a plurality of pixels to generate a high definition image of the first area. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other methods of acquiring high definition images may be used. In an embodiment of the present invention, the first region may be set as a central region of the image. In this case, each pixel in the central region of the image is rendered into a plurality of pixels to generate a high definition image of the central region. Alternatively, the first region may be determined based on the gaze region of the viewer. The region of gaze may be within 30 ° of the eyeball location as a center. In an embodiment of the present invention, the eyeball position of the viewer may be detected, and a region of 30 ° centered on the eyeball position is determined as the gazing region. Then, from the gazing area, a corresponding area of the image may be determined as the first area.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram for explaining a process of acquiring a low-definition image and a high-definition image. In this example, the first region 202 is set as the central region of the image 20. As shown in fig. 2, assume that the resolution of the image 20 is 2PPI and the image 20 includes 18 × 18 pixels. By compressing the image 20, a corresponding low-definition image 21 is obtained. In the present example, it is assumed that the resolution of the low-definition image 21 is 1PPI, including 9 × 9 pixels. As shown in fig. 2, one pixel of the low-definition image 21 may correspond to four pixels of the image 20. In addition, by rendering the first area 202 of the image 20, a high-definition image 22 of the first area 202 is obtained. In the present example, it is assumed that the resolution of the high definition image 22 is 4PPI, comprising 12 × 12 pixels. As shown in fig. 2, four pixels of high definition image 22 correspond to one pixel in first region 202 of image 20.
In the example of fig. 2, the resolution of each image is merely an example. The process shown in fig. 2 is applicable to images of various resolutions.
In step 106, backlight data for display is determined from the acquired low-definition image. The determined backlight data may be provided to a backlight module of the display panel, and a backlight brightness value is adjusted by the backlight module based on the backlight data.
Fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart illustrating a process of determining backlight data for display in the embodiment shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 3, in step 1062, the low-definition image is divided into a corresponding plurality of low-definition regions according to a plurality of backlight partitions of the display panel. In an embodiment of the present invention, if the display panel has N × M backlight partitions, the low-definition image is also divided into N × M low-definition regions. In the example shown in fig. 2, assuming that the display panel has 3 × 3 backlight partitions, the low-definition image 21 is divided into 3 × 3 low-definition regions (as shown in fig. 2), where each low-definition region includes 9 pixels.
Then, in step 1064, backlight data of the corresponding backlight partition is determined according to the pixel data of each low-definition region. In an embodiment of the present invention, the pixel data may be a luminance value of the pixel or a gray scale value convertible to a luminance value, and the backlight data may be a backlight luminance value. In one example embodiment, for each backlight partition, the sum of the grayscale values of all pixels in the corresponding low-definition region is calculated, and the average grayscale value is calculated. Then, based on the average gray value, the backlight brightness value of the backlight partition may be determined. In the example of fig. 2, for the backlight partition corresponding to the low-definition region a, the sum of the gradation values of 9 pixels in the low-definition region a is calculated, and the average gradation value is calculated. Then, according to the average gray value, the backlight brightness value of the backlight partition can be determined to be C. Similarly, for the backlight partition corresponding to the low-definition region b, the sum of the gray-scale values of the 9 pixels in the low-definition region b can be calculated, and the average gray-scale value is calculated, thereby determining the backlight brightness value of the backlight partition as D. In the same way, the backlight brightness values of the other 7 backlight areas can be determined.
In an ideal case, when one of the plurality of backlight partitions is lit up according to its backlight data, a light spot having the same shape as that of the backlight partition, for example, a rectangular light spot, should be displayed on the display panel, as shown in fig. 4 a. However, due to the influence of backlight diffusion, not a rectangular spot but a circular or elliptical spot is actually displayed on the display panel, as shown in fig. 4 b. Therefore, in order to display a desired spot shape on the display panel, it is necessary to compensate for the influence of the backlight diffusion.
In step 108, display pixel data for display is generated from the low-definition image, the high-definition image, and the backlight data. The generated display pixel data can compensate for the effects of backlight diffusion. FIG. 5 is a schematic flow chart diagram illustrating the process of generating display pixel data for display in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1.
As shown in fig. 5, in step 1080, the low-definition image and the high-definition image are synthesized into a display image. Fig. 6 schematically shows a process in which the low-definition image 21 and the high-definition image 22 are synthesized into the display image 23. As shown in fig. 6, the low-definition image 21 and the high-definition image 22 are stitched to obtain a display image 23. It should be noted that the resolution of the display panel should be greater than the resolution of the high-definition image 22 so as to be able to display the high-definition image 22.
In step 1082, the display image 23 is divided into a corresponding plurality of pixel regions according to a plurality of backlight partitions of the display panel. In an embodiment of the present invention, if the display panel has N × M backlight partitions, the display image is also divided into N × M pixel regions. In the example shown in fig. 6, the display panel has 3 × 3 backlight partitions, and the display image 23 is divided into 3 × 3 pixel regions.
In step S1084, it is determined, for each of the plurality of pixel areas, whether or not the pixel area belongs to the high-definition image 22. In the example shown in fig. 6, the pixel region a belongs to the high-definition image 22 and includes 144 pixels, while the pixel region b does not belong to the high-definition image 22 and includes 9 pixels.
For a pixel area belonging to the high definition image, for example, pixel area a, in step 1086, display pixel data of pixel area a is generated from backlight data of the backlight partition corresponding to pixel area a and pixel data corresponding to pixel area a in high definition image 22.
In the embodiment of the present invention, first, based on backlight data, for example, backlight luminance values, of the backlight partition corresponding to the pixel region a, for each pixel i in the pixel region a, corresponding pixel backlight data X is generated using a point spread functionBL_i. Then, display pixel data X of each pixel i is calculatedi’=A×Xi+B×XBL_iWherein, in the step (A),Xirepresenting pixel data, X, corresponding to pixel i in a high definition imageBL_iPixel backlight data representing a pixel i, a and B represent constants.
For a pixel area not belonging to the high definition image, for example, the pixel area b, in step 1088, display pixel data of the pixel area b is generated based on the backlight data of the backlight partition corresponding to the pixel area b and the pixel data corresponding to the pixel area b in the low definition image 21.
In the embodiment of the present invention, first, based on backlight data, for example, backlight luminance values, of the backlight partition corresponding to the pixel region b, for each pixel i in the pixel region b, corresponding pixel backlight data Y is generated using a point spread functionBL_i. Then, display pixel data Y of each pixel i is calculatedi’=A×Yi+B×YBL_iWherein Y isiIndicating pixel data, Y, corresponding to pixel i in the low-definition imageBL_iPixel backlight data representing a pixel i, a and B represent constants.
In step 110, backlight data and display pixel data are provided to the display panel for displaying an image on the display panel. In an embodiment of the invention, the backlight module of the display panel can adjust the brightness according to the backlight data, and the liquid crystal control module of the display panel can control the voltage applied to the liquid crystal molecules according to the display pixel data, so that the display panel can display images.
As can be seen from the above description, with the method according to the embodiment of the present invention, a portion of the area of the image displayed on the display panel has a higher resolution, and the area outside the portion has a lower resolution. The high-definition image of the first area can be in the visual field range of the fovea region of the human eye, and the low-definition image outside the first area can be in the peripheral visual field range. When the first resolution of the low-definition image is greater than or equal to one-fourth of the original resolution, it is difficult for the human eye to distinguish the edges of the high-definition image and the low-definition image. Therefore, this method can improve the display effect and reduce the transmission amount of image data.
The flow chart shown in fig. 1 is for example only, wherein step 102 may be performed in parallel with step 104, or step 104 may be performed first and then step 102. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications may be made to the flow chart shown or the steps described therein.
