Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are illustrative and intended to be illustrative of the invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention.
A display panel and a compensation method thereof according to an embodiment of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a compensation method of a display panel according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 1, the compensation method of the display panel according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:
s1, acquiring image data of the current frame picture after fingerprint unlocking through the display panel, and determining a fingerprint identification area.
The current frame can be sent to a RAM (Random Access Memory) of a DDIC (display Integrated Circuit) through an Access Point (AP) terminal, so as to obtain image data of the current frame. For example, after the fingerprint is unlocked, the first frame image after the fingerprint is unlocked may be sent to the DDIC, and after the first frame image is displayed, the second frame image is sent to the DDIC, so that the subsequent frames are sent to the DDIC frame by frame.
And S2, acquiring the reference current value corresponding to the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area according to the image data of the current frame picture.
After the image data of the current frame picture is acquired, the fingerprint identification area can be determined, the image data of the fingerprint identification area stored in the RAM is analyzed through the DDIC, and then the reference current value corresponding to the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area is acquired.
In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, obtaining the reference current value corresponding to the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area according to the image data of the current frame further includes the following steps:
s20, determining the gray scale corresponding to the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area according to the image data of the current frame picture.
And S21, determining a reference current value corresponding to the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area according to the gray scale corresponding to the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area through a preset corresponding relation, wherein the preset corresponding relation is used for indicating the corresponding relation between the gray scale and the reference current value.
It can be understood that, due to the difference of the display panels, in the process of Gamma calibration, the reference current when the calibration of each binding point is completed needs to be recorded as the factory default reference value during the production of the module. The method includes the steps that each binding point gray scale picture stored in the RAM is sequentially displayed on a screen, namely, the pixel units in the display panel are controlled to sequentially display the corresponding gray scale pictures, when each binding point gray scale picture is displayed, the light-emitting driving current of the pixel units in the display panel is collected (the pixel units can be located in a non-fingerprint identification area or a fingerprint identification area), namely, the current flowing through a DTFT (Drive Thin film transistor) in the pixel units is collected, the collected current when each binding point gray scale picture is displayed is stored in the RAM and serves as a factory default current reference value, and therefore the corresponding relation between the gray scale and the reference current value can be determined.
It should also be understood that, in view of the overall lifetime degradation of the AMO L ED in long-term use, to prevent overcompensation of the fingerprint identification region, after the display panel has been used for a preset time, the current of the pixel cells in the non-fingerprint identification region may be detected, and the reference current, i.e., the correspondence between the gray level and the reference current value, of each of the tie points may be recalibrated according to the current of the pixel cells in the non-fingerprint identification region.
The preset time can be preset according to the actual condition of the display panel.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the invention, after the gray scale corresponding to the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area is determined, the reference current value corresponding to the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area can be determined through the preset corresponding relation.
S3, controlling the display panel to display the current frame picture according to the image data of the current frame picture, and detecting the current light-emitting drive current of the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area; specifically, when the display panel is controlled to display the current frame of picture according to the image data of the current frame of picture, the gate driving voltage of the pixel unit can be generated according to the image data of the current frame of picture, so that the pixel unit generates the light-emitting driving current according to the received gate driving voltage.
After the current frame picture is displayed, the current luminous driving current of the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area is collected through the current sampling module.
In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6, the pixel unit may include a driving transistor DTFT and a light emitting diode D1, and the driving transistor DTFT drives the light emitting diode D1 to emit light according to the gate driving voltage Vdata. Note that the light emission driving current of the pixel unit may refer to a current flowing through the driving transistor DTFT or a current flowing through the light emitting diode D1. For example, as shown in fig. 6, the current sampling module may be connected to the cathode of the light emitting diode D1, and the anode of the light emitting diode D1 is connected to the driving transistor DTFT, so that the current light emitting driving current of the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area may be collected by the current sampling module.
Specifically, when the display panel is controlled to display the current frame picture according to the image data of the current frame picture, the gate driving voltage of the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area, that is, the gate driving voltage Vdata of the driving transistor DTFT in fig. 6, is generated according to the image data of the current frame picture, and then after the current frame picture is displayed, the current light-emitting driving current of the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area, that is, the current flowing through the driving transistor DTFT or the current flowing through the light-emitting diode D1, may be collected by the current sampling module.
And S4, compensating the pixel units in the fingerprint identification area according to the current light-emitting driving current and the reference current value corresponding to the pixel units in the fingerprint identification area. It can be understood that after determining the gray scale corresponding to the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area according to the image data of the current frame, the reference current value corresponding to the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area is determined according to the preset corresponding relationship, then when the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area is controlled to display according to the image data of the current frame, the gate driving voltage of the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area is generated, and the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area generates the light-emitting driving current according to the received gate driving voltage, so that the current light-emitting driving current of the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area is collected through the current sampling module, and the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area is compensated according to the current light-emitting driving current corresponding to the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area and the reference current value. Therefore, by collecting the current light-emitting driving current of the pixel units in the fingerprint identification area and compensating the pixel units in the fingerprint identification area according to the difference value between the current light-emitting driving current of the pixel units in the fingerprint identification area and the reference current value, the design and production cost of the DDIC can be controlled, and meanwhile, the service life attenuation caused by local highlight display of the fingerprint identification area can be effectively compensated.
In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, compensating the pixel units in the fingerprint identification area according to the current light-emitting driving current and the reference current value corresponding to the pixel units in the fingerprint identification area further includes the following steps:
and S40, acquiring a current difference value between the current light-emitting driving current of the pixel unit and the reference current value.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the current difference between the current light-emitting driving current of the pixel unit and the reference current value may be a difference obtained by subtracting the reference current value of the pixel unit from the current light-emitting driving current of the pixel unit.
It can be understood that after the current frame is displayed, the current sampling module starts to operate, collects the current light-emitting driving current I0 of the pixel units in the fingerprint identification area, and sends the current driving current I0 to the comparator to be compared with the reference current value Iref of the pixel units in the fingerprint identification area to obtain the current difference value △ I-I0-Iref.
And S41, if the current difference is larger than the preset current threshold, compensating the pixel units in the fingerprint identification area according to the current difference.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, compensating the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area according to the current difference further includes the following steps:
and S410, generating a bias voltage according to the current difference.
It is understood that the bias voltage may be generated by feeding the current difference △ I into the source driver.
S411, compensating the gate driving voltage of the pixel unit according to the bias voltage, so that the pixel unit generates a light emitting driving current according to the compensated gate driving voltage.
It can be understood that after the fingerprint unlocking is performed through the display panel, the image data of the current frame picture is obtained, the gray scale corresponding to the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area is determined according to the image data of the current frame picture, the reference current value corresponding to the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area is determined according to the preset corresponding relation, then the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area is controlled to display according to the image data of the current frame picture, the grid driving voltage of the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area is generated according to the image data of the current frame picture, the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area generates the corresponding light-emitting driving current according to the received grid driving voltage, after the current frame picture is displayed, the current sampling module starts to work, the current light-emitting driving current of the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area is collected, and the current driving current is sent to the comparator to be compared with the reference current value of the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area to obtain the current difference value, if the current difference is larger than the preset current threshold, generating a bias voltage according to the current difference, compensating the gate drive voltage of the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area according to the bias voltage, and generating a light-emitting drive current by the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area according to the compensated gate drive voltage, so that the life attenuation of the fingerprint identification area in the display panel can be effectively compensated, and the problem that the color and the brightness of the area are inconsistent with other positions due to the life attenuation is solved.
According to one embodiment of the invention, if the difference value is less than or equal to the preset threshold value, the compensation of the pixel units in the fingerprint identification area is stopped until the next fingerprint unlocking.
It can be understood that, in the process of compensating the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area of the current frame picture, if it is detected that the current difference value between the current light-emitting driving current and the reference current value of the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area is less than or equal to the preset threshold value, the compensation of the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area is stopped, that is, the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area is not compensated by other frame pictures behind the current frame picture, until the next fingerprint unlocking through the display panel, the current difference value between the current light-emitting driving current and the reference current value of the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area is judged again, and whether the pixel unit is compensated or not is determined, so that the power consumption can be effectively saved.
It should be understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, the fingerprint identification area of the display panel may include a plurality of pixels, for example, the fingerprint identification area includes P rows and Q columns of pixel cells. Therefore, when the pixel is actually displayed, compensation can be carried out on each pixel unit in the P rows and Q columns of pixel units in the fingerprint identification area. The manner in which each of the P rows and Q columns of pixel cells within the fingerprint identification area is compensated is described in detail below.
It can be understood that the display panel is controlled to display line by line according to the image data of the current frame picture, wherein, when each line displays, the gate driving voltage of the corresponding pixel line is generated according to the image data of the current frame picture, so that the pixel units in the corresponding pixel line generate the light-emitting driving current according to the received gate driving voltage. Then, when any pixel row in the fingerprint identification area is displayed, the current light-emitting driving current of each pixel unit in the pixel row in the fingerprint identification area can be collected through the current sampling module, and each pixel unit in the pixel row is compensated according to the current light-emitting driving current and the reference current value of each pixel unit in the pixel row in the fingerprint identification area, so that each pixel unit in the P rows and Q columns of pixel units in the fingerprint identification area can be compensated.
Specifically, according to a first pixel row example in the fingerprint identification area, after Q gray scales respectively corresponding to Q pixel units in a first pixel row in the fingerprint identification area are determined according to the image data of the current frame picture, Q reference current values respectively corresponding to Q pixel units in the first pixel row in the fingerprint identification area are determined according to a preset corresponding relation, then when the first pixel row in the fingerprint identification area is controlled to display according to the image data of the current frame picture, gate driving voltages of the Q pixel units in the first pixel row are respectively and correspondingly generated, and each pixel unit in the pixel row generates a corresponding light-emitting driving current according to the received corresponding gate driving voltage. At this time, Q current light-emitting driving currents respectively corresponding to the Q pixel units in the first pixel row can be collected, and finally, each pixel unit in the first pixel row is compensated according to the current light-emitting driving current and the reference current value corresponding to each pixel unit in the first pixel row in the fingerprint identification area.
The specific compensation mode is that a current difference value between the current light-emitting driving current and a reference current value of each pixel unit is obtained, when the current difference value is larger than a preset current threshold value, a bias voltage is generated according to the current difference value, and the gate driving voltage of the corresponding pixel unit is compensated according to the bias voltage, so that each pixel unit in the first pixel row in the fingerprint identification area generates the light-emitting driving current according to the compensated gate driving voltage.
After the first pixel row is displayed, the other pixel rows are displayed line by line according to the sequence, such as the second row, the third row, the fourth row, and the like, and the specific compensation process for the pixel units of the other pixel rows is the same as that of the first pixel row, which is not described herein again.
Therefore, by collecting the current light-emitting driving current of each pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area and compensating the corresponding pixel unit according to the difference value between the current light-emitting driving current of each pixel unit and the reference current value, the design and production cost of the DDIC can be controlled, and meanwhile, the service life attenuation caused by local highlight display of the fingerprint identification area can be effectively compensated.
It should be noted that, since the fingerprint identification area may include P rows and Q columns of pixel units, the current sampling module may include Q current sensors, where the Q current sensors are respectively connected to the Q pixel units in each pixel row, and correspondingly detect the current light-emitting driving currents of the Q pixel units in the pixel row when any pixel row in the fingerprint identification area performs displaying.
In addition, for a fingerprint identification area comprising P rows and Q columns of pixel units, the current sampling module can further comprise Q/2 current sensors, the Q/2 current sensors are respectively connected with Q/2 of the Q pixel units in each pixel row at intervals, and the current light-emitting driving current of the Q/2 pixel units in the pixel row is correspondingly detected when any pixel row in the fingerprint identification area is displayed. For example, the first pixel unit in the first row and the first column, i.e. the first pixel unit in the first pixel row, is correspondingly connected with the first current sensor, the second pixel unit in the first row and the second column, i.e. the first pixel row, is not connected with the current sensor, the third pixel unit in the first row and the third column, i.e. the third pixel unit in the first pixel row, is correspondingly connected with the second current sensor, the fourth pixel unit in the first row and the fourth column, i.e. the fourth pixel unit in the first pixel row, is not connected with the current sensor, and so on. The pixel units in the rest pixel rows are connected with the current sensors in the same way as the first pixel row, so that the cost can be reduced, and the sampling difficulty can be reduced.
When the current sampling module includes Q/2 current sensors, the light emitting driving current of the pixel unit not connected with the current sensor may be determined according to the light emitting driving current of the adjacent pixel unit connected with the current sensor, for example, the light emitting driving current of the second pixel unit in the first pixel row may be determined according to the light emitting driving current of the first pixel unit and/or the third pixel unit in the first pixel row.
It should be noted that, because image information needs to be acquired in advance and a current reference value needs to be calculated, the embodiment of the present invention is applicable to a DDIC with a RAM and operating in a Command mode, because the DDIC can first send the image information to the RAM for processing in the Command mode and calculate the current reference value in the process, so that real-time compensation becomes possible.
In summary, according to the compensation method for the display panel provided by the embodiment of the invention, after the fingerprint unlocking is performed through the display panel, the image data of the current frame picture is acquired, the fingerprint identification area is determined, then the reference current value corresponding to the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area is acquired according to the image data of the current frame picture, the display panel is controlled to display the current frame picture according to the image data of the current frame picture, the current light-emitting driving current of the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area is detected, and finally, the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area is compensated according to the current light-emitting driving current corresponding to the pixel unit in the fingerprint identification area and the reference current value. Therefore, the compensation method of the display panel provided by the embodiment of the invention can effectively compensate the life attenuation caused by highlight display of the fingerprint identification area, further solve the problem that the color and brightness of the area are inconsistent with other positions due to the life attenuation of the fingerprint identification area, keep the display uniformity after long-term use and effectively save the cost.
