Background
With the development of display technology and the increasingly demanding social demands, the precise and stable backlight brightness of the lcd has become a basic requirement for display, and especially in the medical display scene, it is necessary to ensure the precise display of medical-grade images.
On one hand, the backlight of the display can age with long-term use, resulting in the brightness of the display also fading with time; on the other hand, the backlight of the display is also affected by the change of the ambient temperature inside the display, resulting in the unstable brightness. In this case, the reading of the sensor for sensing the backlight brightness is also reduced synchronously, and the reading of the sensor can be adjusted to the factory setting value by pulling up the backlight.
However, when the luminance data is acquired by the sensor, due to the existence of the dimming frequency of the dimming signal PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), when the frequency is low, the influence on the luminance data acquired by the sensor is large, so that the data acquired by the sensor is unstable, and finally the backlight luminance adjustment also fluctuates.

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. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided to give a thorough understanding of embodiments of the disclosure. One skilled in the relevant art will recognize, however, that the subject matter of the present disclosure can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, devices, steps, and the like. In other instances, well-known technical solutions have not been shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of the present disclosure.
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 flow charts shown in the drawings are merely illustrative and do not necessarily include all of the steps. For example, some steps may be decomposed, and some steps may be combined or partially combined, so that the actual execution sequence may be changed according to the actual situation.
Most medical displays collect the backlight brightness of the liquid crystal display through the optical sensor, and can perform brightness compensation by adjusting the duty ratio of the dimming signal PWM of the backlight source, so that the brightness stability is realized. The luminance sampling integration time of the light sensor is fixed, but when the display system issues a command to the light sensor and reads luminance data, due to the allocation of system resources, each time the command is issued and the light sensor reads the luminance data has a certain delay, and the delay is slightly different due to different system resource occupation conditions. It is easy to understand that although the sampling and integration time of the two times of brightness of the light sensor is the same, the on and off time of the backlight covered in the sampling and integration process is different, so that there is a difference in the reading of the two times of brightness data, and when the difference is large, the system may misunderstand that the brightness of the backlight has changed, so as to erroneously adjust the duty ratio of the dimming signal PWM of the backlight, and cause the brightness to become unstable.
In addition, for example, when the period of the PWM is 6ms and the integration time of the photosensor is about 3ms, the time for the photosensor to acquire data is on the order of magnitude of the PWM period, so that the acquired data is inaccurate due to its own operating characteristics without replacing the sensor.
Currently, some techniques determine the actual brightness by averaging the readings of the light sensor, which is a relatively large error. In addition, a signal synchronization mode is adopted, specifically, a PWM frequency synchronization signal is obtained through an external circuit, so that PWM phases corresponding to each time point of reading are consistent as much as possible, however, the signal synchronization also causes a problem of a large error.
Fig. 1 schematically shows a waveform of a dimming signal in an ideal state. The points read by the photosensors are random, such as illustrated at t0, t1, and t 2. Described herein is an ideal case where, as described above, when the dimming signal and the time for the light sensor to read data are on the order of magnitude, the result as shown in fig. 1 may not be read.
In addition, even when synchronization is performed, the acquisition time of the circuit cannot be exactly as specified at a specified position (e.g., a rising edge or a falling edge) due to the presence of a reception response time. The process of measuring data by the light sensor is an integration process, that is, measuring at a certain time and integrating for a certain time to obtain a value at the time. The light sensor determines that the brightness may be different at three times of t0, t1 and t2 as shown in fig. 1, and specifically, the determined brightness integration result may be shown in fig. 2, for example.
In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, the present disclosure provides a backlight brightness determination method.
Fig. 3 schematically shows a flow chart of a backlight brightness determination method of a medical display of an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to fig. 3, the backlight luminance determining method of the present disclosure may include the steps of:
s32, acquiring a period and a plurality of integration time periods of a dimming signal for adjusting the backlight brightness signal; wherein the integration period does not exceed a period of the dimming signal at maximum.
The dimming signal described in this disclosure is a PWM signal, and the period and the duty ratio thereof may be directly related to the liquid crystal panel, that is, when the liquid crystal panel is determined, the backlight dimming signal PWM corresponding to the liquid crystal panel is also determined. In addition, in order to meet the actual lighting requirement, a debugging person can adjust the period and the duty ratio of the PWM signal by himself. It is easily understood that the PWM signal is used as a signal for adjusting the backlight brightness, and once the PWM signal is set, the period of the backlight brightness signal is the same as that of the PWM signal.
The integration time period described in this disclosure may mean an integration time period, that is, the above-mentioned luminance sampling integration time, and the integration result of the backlight luminance signal in the integration time period is the backlight luminance representing the corresponding time point.
Specifically, the integration period may be determined based on a period of the dimming signal, and the plurality of integration periods may not exceed the period of the dimming signal at maximum. Taking the cycle of the dimming signal as 6ms as an example, the plurality of integration periods may be configured to be 100 μ s, 200 μ s, 500 μ s, 1ms, 1.5ms, 3ms, 5.8ms, or the like. The integration time period may be randomly determined, that is, a plurality of times may be selected from less than 6ms by using an existing random algorithm as the integration time period, and the number and specific values of the integration time period are not particularly limited in the present disclosure.
According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the present disclosure may determine the plurality of integration periods as described above in a predetermined rule. Specifically, the integration time period may be an integral multiple of a unit integration time T, where the unit integration time T may be determined based on a period T of the dimming signal, and a maximum integration time period n × T is less than or equal to the period of the dimming signal, where (n +1) × T is greater than the period of the dimming signal, and n is a positive integer.
For example, when the period T of the dimming signal is in the order of 6ms, the unit integration time T may be set to 100 μ s, and at this time, since the integration time period does not exceed the period T of the dimming signal at maximum, 60 integration time periods may be determined, which are 100 μ s, 200 μ s, 300 μ s, …, 5.9ms, and 6ms, respectively.
It is to be understood that the above determination of the unit integration time t is only exemplary, and the scheme of determining the unit integration time according to the period of the dimming signal should belong to the concept of the present invention.
And S34, determining a plurality of integration starting points with the same phase on the dimming signal.
In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, first, a reference phase may be determined on the dimming signal, and the reference phase may be randomly determined, that is, the reference phase may be any phase including a rising edge or a falling edge on the dimming signal.
Next, a plurality of integration start points on the dimming signal having the same phase as the reference phase may be determined. Specifically, the integration start points may be determined by temporally shifting an integral multiple Δ T of the dimming signal period T based on the reference phase. Here, Δ T may represent a fixed time interval, that is, the determined time intervals between adjacent integration start points are equal, and may be, for example, three times the period T of the dimming signal. In addition, Δ T may also be a variable value, that is, the determined time intervals between adjacent integration start points may not be equal, for example, the time interval between the first integration start point and the second integration start point is the dimming signal period T, the time interval between the second integration start point and the third integration start point is twice the dimming signal period T, the time interval between the third integration start point and the fourth integration start point is five times the dimming signal period T, and so on.
It is easily understood that the number of integration start points determined in step S34 of the present disclosure is the same as the number of integration time periods determined in step S32, so that integration calculation can be performed based on the integration start points and the corresponding integration time periods.
S36, sequentially and respectively carrying out multiple times of integration on the backlight brightness signal according to the multiple integration starting points and the multiple integration time periods, and determining the multiple times of integration results as multiple candidate brightness.
After the integration starting point and the integration time period are determined, the backlight brightness signal detected by the light sensor can be sequentially integrated for multiple times according to the integration starting point and the integration time period, and each integration result corresponds to one candidate brightness.
According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the number of integration start points and integration periods is the same, and the integration start points may be randomly corresponding to the integration periods. Specifically, the first integration start point may correspond to any one of the n integration periods, and a result calculated based on this integration may be used as the first candidate luminance; the second integration start point may correspond to any one of the remaining n-1 integration periods, and a result calculated based on this integration may be a second candidate luminance; etc., whereby n candidate luminances can be determined.
According to some further embodiments, the integration time periods corresponding to the integration start points may be sequentially incremented. That is, the integration time period corresponding to each integration start point gradually increases in chronological order. For example, the first integration start point corresponds to an integration period of 100 μ s, the second integration start point corresponds to an integration period of 300 μ s, the third integration start point corresponds to an integration period of 1ms, and so on. In addition, taking the period T of the dimming signal as 6ms as an example, the integration period corresponding to the nth integration start point may be 6ms or some predetermined time (e.g., 5.9ms) approaching 6ms in an incremental manner.
Referring to fig. 4, in an embodiment in which the integration periods of the present disclosure are configured as integer multiples of the unit integration time T, the above reference phase corresponds to Ts in fig. 4, and each integration start point is the same as the phase of Ts, corresponding to T01, T02, T03, and the like in fig. 4. The integration time period corresponding to the first integration starting point T01 is the unit integration time T, and at this time, the integration ending point corresponding to the first integration starting point T01 can be denoted as T1, and then T1 is denoted as T01+ T, and it can be seen that the corresponding first candidate luminance can be calculated based on T01 and T. Similarly, a second candidate luminance and a third candidate luminance may be calculated, respectively. It is easily understood that fig. 4 is only an exemplary description, and n candidate luminances may be actually calculated, where n × T is equal to or less than the period T of the dimming signal, and (n +1) × T is greater than the period T of the dimming signal.
According to some other embodiments, the integration time periods corresponding to the integration start points may be sequentially decreased. That is, the integration time period corresponding to each integration start point gradually decreases in chronological order. For example, the integration period corresponding to the first integration start point is 1ms, the integration period corresponding to the second integration start point is 0.8ms, the integration period corresponding to the third integration start point is 0.7ms, and so on. In addition, taking the period T of the dimming signal as 6ms as an example, the integration period corresponding to the first integration start point may be 6ms or some predetermined time (e.g., 5.9ms) approaching 6ms in an incremental manner.
Referring to fig. 5, in an embodiment in which the integration periods are configured as integer multiples of the unit integration time T of the present disclosure, the reference phase corresponds to Ts in fig. 5, and each integration start point is the same as the phase of Ts, corresponding to T01, T02, T03, and the like in fig. 5. The integration time period corresponding to the first integration starting point T01 is the unit integration time T, and at this time, the integration ending point corresponding to the first integration starting point T01 may be denoted as T1, and then T1 is denoted as T01+ n × T, and the corresponding first candidate luminance may be calculated. Similarly, a second candidate luminance and a third candidate luminance may be calculated, respectively. It is easily understood that fig. 5 is only an exemplary description, and n candidate luminances may be actually calculated, where n × T is equal to or less than the period T of the dimming signal, and (n +1) × T is greater than the period T of the dimming signal.
And S38, determining the maximum brightness in the candidate brightness as the backlight brightness.
In the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a plurality of candidate luminances may be determined by the integral calculation in step S36, and a candidate luminance having the largest luminance among the determined plurality of candidate luminances may be output as the backlight luminance in step S38. That is, the backlight luminance actually output by the light sensor is the maximum value among the plurality of candidate luminances.
In addition, the present disclosure may further include a process in which the dimming system adjusts the backlight by the backlight brightness output by the light sensor. For example, when the backlight brightness output by the light sensor is greater than the brightness required by the system, the backlight brightness can be reduced by means of PWM chopping and controlling the on-time of the light-emitting circuit; when the backlight brightness output by the light sensor is less than the brightness required by the system, the brightness can be improved by increasing the backlight power.
The backlight luminance determining method of the present disclosure will be explained below by way of an example.
For example, the period T of the dimming signal PWM is 6ms, and the unit integration time T may be set to 80 μ s, where T80 μ s may be the unit integration time suitable for the PWM signal determined by the commissioning person according to the test result. First, the number n of candidate luminances, i.e. the value of T divided by T and rounded down, can be determined, in which case n is 75.
Next, 75 integration start points with the same phase may be taken on the dimming signal, and the time intervals between two adjacent ones of the integration start points may be the same. Specifically, when the backlight luminance signal arrives, a phase (reference phase) may be randomly determined on a first cycle of the backlight luminance signal, and integrated with 80 μ s as an integration period thereafter to obtain a 1 st candidate luminance; taking a time point with the same phase as the reference phase in the second period as a second integration starting point, and performing integration by taking the subsequent 2 x 80 mus as an integration time period to obtain a second candidate brightness; taking a time point with the same phase as the reference phase in the third period as a third integration starting point, and performing integration by taking the subsequent 3 x 80 mus as an integration time period to obtain a third candidate brightness; and so on until a total of 75 candidate luminances are obtained.
Then, the maximum value of the 75 candidate luminances can be taken as the backlight luminance output by the light sensor.
In summary, the backlight brightness determining method of the present disclosure can determine the backlight brightness accurately in real time without a signal synchronization process. In addition, the present disclosure does not increase hardware design costs.
It should be noted that although the various steps of the methods of the present disclosure are depicted in the drawings in a particular order, this does not require or imply that these steps must be performed in this particular order, or that all of the depicted steps must be performed, to achieve desirable results. Additionally or alternatively, certain steps may be omitted, multiple steps combined into one step execution, and/or one step broken down into multiple step executions, etc.
Further, the present exemplary embodiment also provides a backlight brightness determination apparatus for a medical display.
