Fig. 3 is a flow chart of implementation steps for improving the modulation precision of 1-bit phase by 2-frame time division, which is briefly described as an example of increasing 8 bits to 9 bits:
firstly, the signal conversion module can convert the signal formats coming from the RGB888 interface, the MIPI interface, the HDMI interface and/or the VGA interface, etc., calculate to obtain the required data, and output one of the data according to the configuration.
In order to improve the precision of the one-bit DAC, the two frames are required to be processed, namely the two frames are increased to the double frame rate, the storage control module stores the single-frame data input by the signal conversion module into the corresponding storage, and when the other frame is stored, the previous stored frame is taken out, the speed of taking out is more than 2 times of the speed of storing, the purpose of storing one frame is achieved, the two frames are taken out, and the frame data is taken out twice to reach the double frame rate.
During the period, the register configuration module performs configuration of relevant registers on the signal conversion module, the data fine adjustment control module and the phase correction module, corrects 8-bit data into 9-bit data according to the liquid crystal response characteristic and the actual gray scale phase relation, and converts the data and sends the data into the data fine adjustment control module.
In order to improve the one-bit phase modulation precision under the condition of not changing the DAC module, that is, the 8-bit data is used for expressing the phase information of the 9-bit data, the data fine tuning control module divides the data into 2 conditions, namely 1 'b 0 and 1' b1 respectively, by judging the specific size of 1bit at the tail of each data in each frame in the same two frames of data from the memory, and further obtains how to fine tune the data.
The specific situation is as follows: after an initial frame of data is divided into two frames of data, the data at a certain position in the initial frame really plays a role of high-order data, and the actual meaning of the data with low 1bit is that the high-order data is divided into two parts again at the minimum voltage (V1) for dividing the DAC output. If the corrected data is 9'd 301, namely 10' b100101101, and the low 1bit is 1 'b 1, only the data of any frame needs to be taken from two frames, the high 9bit is taken, then the high 9bit is added with 1, new 9bit data is output, and the high 9bit of the other frame is output unchanged, so that the average effect of the two frames in time is equivalent to that the voltage is increased by V1/2 on the basis of the original position phase, namely, the numerical information 1' b1 of the low 1bit can be presented, and thus, the linear relation between the voltage and the phase is further improved.
Similarly, when the end 1bit of a certain 9-bit data is 1' b0, the high 9 bits of the two frames of data are output unchanged to represent that the phase is unchanged under the improved precision, that is, the 8-bit data expresses the phase information of the 9-bit data, thereby improving the phase modulation precision of the one-bit spatial light modulator.
Fig. 4 is a flowchart of implementation steps for improving the modulation precision of 2-bit phase by 4-frame time division, which is briefly described as an example of increasing 8 bits to 10 bits:
firstly, the signal conversion module can convert the signal formats coming from the RGB888 interface, the MIPI interface, the HDMI interface, the VGA interface and other interfaces, calculate to obtain the required data, and output one of the data according to the configuration.
In order to improve the precision of the two-bit DAC, four frames are required to be processed, namely, the frame rate is increased to four times, the storage control module stores single-frame data input by the previous module into the corresponding storage, and when another frame is stored, the previous stored frame is taken out, the speed of taking out the previous stored frame is more than 4 times that of storing, so that the frame storing is achieved, four frames are taken out, and the frame data is taken out four times to reach the four times of the frame rate.
During the period, the register configuration module performs configuration of relevant registers on the signal conversion module, the data fine adjustment control module and the phase correction module, corrects 8-bit data into 10-bit data according to the liquid crystal response characteristic and the actual gray scale phase relation, and sends the data into the data fine adjustment control module.
In order to improve the two-bit phase modulation precision under the condition of not changing the DAC module, namely, the phase information of 10-bit data is expressed by 8-bit data, the data fine tuning control module divides the data into 4 cases, namely 2 'b 00, 2' b01,2 'b 10 and 2' b11 respectively, by judging the specific size of two bits at the tail of each data in each frame in the same four-frame data stored in a memory; and from the current few frames, how to fine-tune this data is derived.
The specific situation is as follows: after an initial frame of data is divided into four frames of data, for data at a certain position in the initial frame, it really plays a role of high data (V1), and for data with low 2bit, the practical meaning is that the high data is divided into four parts again at the minimum voltage for dividing the DAC output. If the corrected data is 10'd 301, namely 10' b 0100100101101, and the lower two bits are 2 'b 01, only the data of any one frame needs to be taken from the four frames, the upper 8 bits are taken, then the upper 8 bits are added by 1, new 8-bit data is output, and the other three frames are output unchanged at the upper 8 bits, so that the average effect of the four frames in time is equivalent to that the voltage is increased by V1/4 on the basis of the original position phase, that is, the numerical information 2' b01 of the lower 2 bits can be presented to the user, and the linear relation between the voltage and the phase is further improved.
Similarly, when 2bit at the end of a certain 10bit data is 2' b10, only two frames of data are required to be taken from four frames, the higher 8 bits are added with 1 to output new 8bit data, and the higher 8 bits of the other two frames are output unchanged, so that the phase reaches more ideal precision under the superposition of average time, namely, the 8bit data expresses the phase information of the 10bit data, thereby improving the phase modulation precision of the two-bit spatial light modulator.
Fig. 5 is a flowchart of an implementation step for improving the modulation precision of 3-bit phase by 8-frame time division, which is briefly described as an example of increasing 8 bits to 11 bits:
firstly, the signal conversion module can convert the signal formats coming from the RGB888 interface, the MIPI interface, the HDMI interface, the VGA interface and other interfaces, calculate to obtain the required data, and output one of the data according to the configuration.
In order to improve the precision of the three-bit DAC, eight frames are required to be processed, namely the frame rate is increased to eight times, the storage control module stores single-frame data input by the previous module into the corresponding storage, and when another frame is stored, the previous stored frame is taken out, the speed of taking out is a little more than 8 times of the speed of storing, one frame is stored, eight frames are taken out, and the frame data is taken out eight times to reach the eight times of the frame rate.
During the period, the register configuration module performs configuration of relevant registers on the signal conversion module, the data fine adjustment control module and the phase correction module, corrects 8-bit data into 11-bit data according to the liquid crystal response characteristic and the actual gray scale phase relation, and sends the data into the data fine adjustment control module.
In order to improve the three-bit phase modulation precision without changing the DAC module, that is, the 8-bit data is used to express the phase information of the 11-bit data, the data fine tuning control module divides the data into eight cases, namely 3 'b 000, 3' b001,3 'b 010, 3' b011, 3 'b 100, 3' b101,3 'b 110 and 3' b111, by determining the specific size of the last three bits of each data in each frame in the same eight frame data stored in the memory, so as to obtain how to fine tune the data.
The specific situation is as follows: after an initial frame of data is divided into eight frames of data, for data at a certain position in the initial frame, it really plays a role of high-order data, and for data with low 3bit, the practical meaning is that the high-order data is divided into eight parts again at the minimum voltage (V1) for dividing the DAC output. If the corrected data is 11'd 301, namely 11' b00100101101, and the lower three bits are 3 'b 101, only five frames of data need to be selected from eight frames, the upper 8 bits are selected, then the upper 8 bits are added by 1, new 8bit data is output, and the other three frames are output unchanged at the upper 7 bits, so that the average effect of the eight frames in time is equivalent to that the voltage is increased by 5V1/8 on the basis of the original position phase, that is, the numerical information 3' b101 of the lower 3 bits can be reflected, and the linear relation between the voltage and the phase is further improved.
Similarly, when 3bit at the end of 11bit data is 3' b110, only six frames of data are arbitrarily selected from eight frames, 8 high bits are selected, 1 is added to 8 high bits, new 8bit data are output, and the remaining two frames of 8 high bits are output unchanged, so that the phase reaches more ideal precision under the superposition of average time, namely the 8bit data expresses the phase information of the 11bit data, and the phase modulation precision of the three-bit spatial light modulator is improved.
In this way, a specific embodiment of N frame time division can be obtained, and as above, a specific implementation case of implementing phase modulation accuracy improvement by multi-frame time division can be similarly applicable to more different actual requirements, and any number of frames can be used to improve phase modulation accuracy by the present invention. By means of the framing and time division display of any scheme, the accuracy of the digital DAC and the phase modulation is improved through time framing adjustment under the condition that a DAC module is not changed, and therefore the effect that the phase modulation accuracy of the spatial light modulator is improved through multi-frame time division is achieved.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several modifications and variations can be made without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, and these modifications and variations should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
