Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of LED display screen driving, in particular to a gray scale display driving module and method for an LED display screen.
Background
The gray scale represents an object using black tones, that is, black is a reference color, and black of different saturation is used to display an image. Each gray object has a luminance value from 0% (white) to 100% (black) of the gray bar. For example, the pixel value is quantized and expressed by one byte (8 b). If the gray scale value with continuous black-gray-white change is quantized into 256 gray scales, the range of the gray scale value is 0-255, the brightness is from dark to light, and the corresponding color in the image is from black to white. Black and white photographs contain all shades of gray between black and white, with each pixel value being one of 256 shades of gray between black and white. The refresh rate of the gray-scale display refers to the number of times of refreshing video frames, and for a fixed frame picture, the duration is limited by the refresh frequency of the display to be a fixed value, and taking 60HZ as an example, the display duration of each frame is about 16.7 milliseconds. For the present, in the middle and high-order display panels, constant current source driving chips capable of outputting high-refresh PWM are usually adopted, and they usually display the whole gray data in a fixed number of groups, and the whole refresh rate is limited by the set number of groups, i.e. f × M, where f is the display refresh frequency and M is the number of gray data groups. Filling each set of gray data in a video frame may not occupy exactly the entire video frame, i.e., there is a display space. This makes the number of PWM groups displayed within a display frame period fixed, and the resulting refresh rate is also fixed and limited, thereby making the displayed image susceptible to flicker and affecting picture quality.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provides a gray scale display driving module and a method for an LED display screen.
The purpose of the invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
a gray scale display driving module of an LED display screen comprises:
the PWM synthesis module is connected with the first PWM generation module and the second PWM generation module;
in a display frame period, dividing corresponding gray scale data into first gray scale data displayed circularly and second gray scale data with a fixed group number N;
the first gray data and the N groups of second gray data are synchronously and respectively input into a first PWM (pulse width modulation) generation module and a second PWM generation module, wherein the first gray data are input circularly for N times to obtain N groups of first PWM data and N groups of second PWM data;
the PWM synthesis module synthesizes N groups of first PWM data and second PWM data into N groups of gray level PWM data and outputs and displays the data;
and in a display frame period, after N groups of gray PWM data are displayed, sequentially and circularly displaying the first PWM data and the second PWM data until the display frame is finished, wherein the state of whether the second PWM data is displayed in the whole display frame period is adjustable.
In other words, in the present invention, after the refresh frequency of the display is fixed, for one display frame, the overall refresh rate of the display frame can be increased by infinitely cycling the refreshed first PWM data and second PWM data. In the prior art, one display frame can only display a fixed number of groups of gray scale data, usually, the gray scale data of the fixed groups can not completely fill up the whole display time of the display frame, but in the invention, the first gray scale data and the second gray scale data, namely the first PWM data and the second PWM data, are displayed in a mode of infinitely circulating the part of time without displaying gray scale (actually, only a plurality of times of refreshing can be performed in one display frame, but the infinite circulating can be performed when enough time is available, and the situation can not occur in practice), so that the refresh rate of the gray scale data in the display frame is integrally improved, the improvement of the stability of video display is facilitated, and the flicker of the picture is avoided.
Finally, in order to improve the flexibility of display, the second gray scale data can be configured in the actual display process, so as to adjust the number of groups actually displayed by the second gray scale data.
The display device further comprises a processing module used for adjusting the display state of the second PWM data, wherein the processing module is connected with the PWM synthesis module (300) and is used for configuring the display coefficient of the second PWM data, the second PWM data is displayed when the coefficient is 1, and the second PWM data is not displayed when the coefficient is 0.
Further, the processing module is a configurable register, or a structure adjustment that can store data using Fuse adjustment.
Further, the first gray data is high gray data, and the second gray data is low gray data. It should be noted that the high gray data and the low gray data referred to in the present invention are only relative, and have no practical definition standard, and the high gray data and the low gray data cannot be regarded as fuzzy expressions. The high gray data and the low gray data are obtained by dividing gray data into low bits and high bits, for example, 13-bit data, which is binary data, and the low gray data is data from the first bit to the nth bit, and the high gray data is data from the nth bit to the 13 th bit, where n can be any one number from 1 to 12 in a strict sense, but n is generally 2 to 4 in practical applications. That is, the gradation data is grouped from lower to higher, and when the lower gradation data is determined, the remaining data is the higher gradation data, or when the higher gradation data is determined, the remaining data is the lower gradation data.
Further, the PWM synthesis module is configured with a counter for configuring the first PWM data and the second PWM data to generate different PWM data in different sets.
The invention also provides a gray scale display driving method of the LED display screen, which is realized by using the gray scale display driving module of the LED display screen, and the method comprises the following steps:
step S100: dividing the gray scale data of each display frame into first gray scale data displayed in a circulating way and second gray scale data with a fixed group number N, wherein N is a fixed integer;
step S200: sending the first gray data into a first PWM (pulse-width modulation) generation module to obtain first PWM data;
synchronously sending the second gray data to a second PWM generating module to obtain second PWM data;
step S300: sending the first PWM data and the second PWM data into a PWM synthesis module to obtain 1 group of PWM data;
repeating the steps S200-S300 for N times to obtain N groups of PWM data in one display frame period;
step S400: sequentially displaying the obtained N groups of PWM data in a display frame period T, wherein the display time periods of the N groups of PWM data are T0-Tn, and the residual time periods Tn-Td are not displayed, wherein T0 represents the starting time of the display frame period T, and Td represents the ending time of the display frame period T;
step S500: and circularly displaying the first PWM data and the second PWM data in turn within the residual time period Tn-Td until the display frame is finished.
Further, the first gray data is high gray data, and the second gray data is low gray data;
correspondingly, the first PWM data is high-gray-scale PWM data, and the second PWM data is low-gray-scale PWM data.
Further, the high gray data are completely the same and are displayed by the same high gray PWM data in a circulating mode. That is, in a display frame, all the high gray data are the same, the low gray data are not necessarily the same (either 0 or 1), and in a display frame period, N PWM data are included, each PWM data is composed of one same high gray data + different low gray data, that is, in the whole display frame, the high gray PWM data are cyclically displayed by the same PWM data.
Further, in a complete display frame period T, M sets of first PWM data are included, and N +
And a set of second PWM data, wherein the first PWM data and the second PWM data are sequentially displayed cyclically,
the number of times of circular display after the second gray data is displayed for N times, M is greater than N, and finally the number of times of displaying the second PWM data is [0, N +
]That is, the second PWM data displays N + at most
Next, the lowest number of times of display is 0, that is, no display.
Preferably, the number of times of displaying the second PWM data is N.
Furthermore, the invention also comprises a method for switching the transition of adjacent display frames, which uses a VSYNC instruction to switch the display frames, and comprises the following scenes:
1) the VSYNC command arrives in the middle of a first PWM data frame or a second PWM data frame, and is switched to the next display frame in the middle of the first PWM data frame or the second PWM data frame; or, in order to ensure the display effect, the gray data is updated after the current first PWM data frame or the second PWM data frame is displayed, and the display frame is switched to the next display frame;
2) and switching to the next display frame at the end point of the first PWM data frame or the second PWM data frame when the VSYNC command arrives at the end point of the first PWM data frame or the second PWM data frame.
Further, when a VSYNC instruction arrives, the method also comprises two conditions of resetting and not resetting the counter;
under the condition that the counter is reset, the next frame starts to display from the 1 st group of gray PWM data of the N groups of gray PWM data of the frame, and after the N groups of gray PWM data are displayed, the cyclic display is started from the 1 st group of gray PWM data of the N groups of gray PWM data of the frame;
under the condition that the counter is not reset, assuming that the current frame displays N groups of gray-scale PWM data and then displays the N groups of gray-scale PWM data until the x-1 group of the N groups of gray-scale PWM data of the frame is finished, the next frame starts to display from the x group of gray-scale PWM data in the N groups of gray-scale PWM data of the frame, wherein the value of x is [1, N ], and after the x-N groups of gray-scale PWM data are displayed, the 1 group of gray-scale PWM data of the N groups of gray-scale PWM data of the frame starts to display circularly until the frame is displayed.
Furthermore, for 1 PWM channel to control multiple rows of LED lamps, a first PWM data frame should include all rows of first PWM data PWM, and a second PWM data frame should also include all rows of second PWM data PWM.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: compared with the traditional gray scale display, the scheme also divides the gray scale data into the first gray scale data and the second gray scale data of the fixed group to be displayed in one display frame, but also increases the filling of the first gray scale data and the second gray scale data which are circularly displayed for the display frame, so that the whole refresh rate of the display frame is improved.

Detailed Description
The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail with reference to the following specific examples, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to the following.
A gray scale display driving module of an LED display screen comprises: a first PWM generation module 100 and a second PWM generation module 200, and a PWM synthesis module 300 connected to the first PWM generation module 100 and the second PWM generation module 200. The structure of which can be seen in figure 1. Specifically, the input terminals of the first PWM generating module 100 and the second PWM generating module 200 are used to input gray data, the output terminals of the first PWM generating module 100 and the second PWM generating module 200 are connected to the input terminal of the PWM synthesizing module 300, and the gray data is changed into PWM data corresponding to the gray in the first PWM generating module 100 and the second PWM generating module 200, wherein the first PWM generating module 100 and the second PWM generating module 200 respectively output one PWM data, and the two PWM data are input to the PWM synthesizing module 300 to synthesize one PWM data.
In a display frame period, dividing corresponding gray scale data into first gray scale data displayed circularly and second gray scale data with a fixed group number N; it can be considered that the complete gradation data in one display frame period is composed of the first gradation data including the cyclic display and the second gradation data of the fixed number N of sets. That is, the gray data is divided into a plurality of cyclically displayed first gray data and N sets of second gray data, wherein the number of cyclically displaying the first gray data in the complete gray data is as follows.
Then there are:
where D is the full gray scale data in the display frame period, D1 is the first gray scale data, and D2 is the second gray scale data.
The first gray data and N sets of second gray data are synchronously and respectively input to the first PWM generating module 100 and the second PWM generating module 200, wherein the first gray data is input N times in a cycle to obtain N sets of first PWM data and N sets of second PWM data. Here, the first gray data and the N sets of second gray data are synchronously input to the first PWM generating module 100 and the second PWM generating module 200, respectively, that is, the first gray data is input repeatedly, 1 time of first gray data is input synchronously every time 1 set of second gray data is input, and the N sets of second gray data are input sequentially, that is, the N times of first gray data are input synchronously, that is, the N times of first gray data are input cyclically, so that the first gray data and the second gray data are combined to obtain N sets of first PWM data and N sets of second PWM data, which are combined to form a complete PWM data.
Specifically, the PWM synthesis module 300 synthesizes N sets of first PWM data and second PWM data into N sets of grayscale PWM data, and outputs and displays the data; in a display frame period, after N groups of gray PWM data are displayed (compared with complete gray data, the N groups of gray PWM data are less than the complete gray data by 1 group of first PWM data, and the influence on the actual gray is negligible), the first PWM data and the second PWM data are sequentially and circularly displayed until the display frame is finished, wherein whether the second PWM data is displayed in the whole display frame period or not is adjustable.
The state that whether the second PWM data is displayed in the whole display frame period is adjustable means that the first PWM data and the second PWM data are sequentially arranged at intervals in a cycle in one display frame period, and all the arranged first PWM data and second PWM data are displayed in a default state, namely that the first PWM data and the second PWM data are displayed in a cycle until the current display frame is finished after N groups of gray PWM data (each group of gray PWM data = the first PWM data + the second PWM data) are displayed in one display frame period. In this process, whether the second PWM data is displayed or not may be configured, and although the second PWM data is arranged in the display sequence, it may be configured not to be displayed, that is, to become a black field in a corresponding display frame in which the second PWM data is displayed.
In another aspect, in order to realize that the display state of the second PWM data is adjustable, the LED display panel grayscale display driving module further includes a processing module for adjusting the display state of the second PWM data, and the processing module is connected to the PWM synthesizing module (300) and configured to configure the display coefficient of the second PWM data, where the second PWM data is displayed when the coefficient is 1, and the second PWM data is not displayed when the coefficient is 0.
Optionally, the processing module is a configurable register, or uses Fuse adjustment, and the Fuse can output different values according to different burned values, and these values are equivalent to configuration registers, or use structure adjustment capable of storing data.
Optionally, in a gray scale display driving module of an LED display panel, the grouping of the gray scale data may adopt various grouping methods known in the art, and the grouping principle satisfies that the gray scale value of each group of gray scale data is unchanged after the gray scale data is accumulated, for example, an 8-bit gray scale data, the gray scale value of which is 0-255, i.e., is divided into 256 intensity values, which may be divided into 32 groups, each group corresponds to 8 gray scale value intensities (one group is 7 gray scale values at most), i.e., 31 × 8+7=255, i.e., satisfies the first gray scale data + second gray scale data =8 (8 at most), one group of the first gray scale data + second gray scale data =7 (7 at most), and how the first gray scale data and the second gray scale data are distributed, the grouping methods may be randomly distributed. Likewise, if they are divided into 64 groups, each group corresponds to 4 gray values. There is the first gray data + the second gray data =4 (maximum value is 4), wherein a group of the first gray data + the second gray data =3 (maximum value is 3), that is, the case of gray value 0 is considered as a group alone, and actually the second gray data is not included in the group, that is, in the above example, N takes on values of 32 and 64, respectively, wherein one of the second gray data has 1 gray intensity less than the rest of the group of the second gray data.
The second gray scale data is exemplified by the case that the gray scale data in the field is not scattered and is completely scattered, and when 4 gray scale data are not scattered, the corresponding second gray scale data is 0 to 4, wherein one group of the second gray scale data is 0 to 3. Under the condition that the gray data are scattered completely, the second gray data take values of 0-1, one group of the second gray data is fixed to 0, the value of N in the condition can be considered to be less than 1, namely 1 group of gray PWM data in the N groups of gray PWM data only contains the first gray data, and in order to ensure the consistency of N, the second gray data of the group of gray PWM data can be defaulted to 0.
As a preferred embodiment, in the LED display panel gray scale display driving module of the present invention, the first gray scale data is high gray scale data, and the second gray scale data is low gray scale data. It is to be emphasized that the high gray data and the low gray data referred to in the present invention are a relative concept rather than an absolute concept, i.e., high grayThere is no fixed defined value between the degree data and the low gray-scale data. For 8-bit gray data, the gray value is represented by 00000000-8-1= 255. The high gradation data is divided into these 8-bit binary values. Assuming that this gray-scale data is 11111111, if the lower four bits are defined as the low gray-scale data, the high gray-scale data is 11110000, the low gray-scale data is 1111, that is, the first gray-scale data is 11110000, and the second gray-scale data is 1111, that is, the gray-scale data is divided into a set of the gray-scale data of 11110000 and the gray-scale data of 1111. It is obvious that this grouping is not beneficial to increase the refresh rate of the display frames, and for this purpose, grouping is performed using low gray data as a standard, for example, 0-1111 can be divided into 15 (2) by 1 as the low gray data0+21+22+23If the group of = 15) and 1 group of low gradation data fixed to 0 (all-scattered case), that is, if the group is divided into 16 groups, the coefficient of the first gradation data of each group is (2)4+25+26+27) 16=15, i.e. the gray scale value 15 of the first gray scale data, each set of gray scale PWM data is 15+, wherein 1 set is 15+0, i.e. the second gray scale data defaults to 0, i.e =0 (actually, the set does not include the second gray scale data), i.e. in this example, N is 16, i.e. the gray scale PWM data 15+ starts to be repeatedly displayed after the 16 sets of gray scale PWM data 15+ are displayed, so as to enhance the refresh rate of the display frame. Finally, the display status is adjustable throughout the display frame, i.e. a configurable coefficient is added, the coefficient is 1bit, the coefficient is adjusted by using a configurable register, or by using Fuse adjustment, or by using other structures capable of storing data known in the art.
Optionally, in a gray scale display driving module of an LED display panel, in a display frame period, the number of low gray scale data sets is fixed, as described above, after N sets of gray scale PWM data are displayed, the first PWM data and the second PWM data are sequentially displayed in a cycle until the display frame is finished, that is, in a display frame, generally, the number of sets of the first gray scale data and the second gray scale data that are actually displayed is greater than N, where the first gray scale data refers to high gray scale data, and the second gray scale data refers to low gray scale data.
Then there are:
Wherein the content of the first and second substances,
the value is 1 in general, and as shown in fig. 3, only one complete low gray frame is included in one display frame period in general, and the complete low gray frame includes N sets of low gray data. But not exclusively
Integer values greater than 1, e.g. displaying several groups of gray data in one display frame period, each group of gray dataEach including N sets of low gray data, which generally does not occur in practical situations.
Optionally, in an LED display panel grayscale display driving module, the PWM combining module 300 is configured with a counter, configured to configure the first PWM data and the second PWM data to generate different PWM data in different groups. The gradation data is divided into first gradation data (high gradation portion) and second gradation data (low gradation portion), and the first gradation data directly generates first PWM data from the data. The second gray scale data is combined with the group counter to generate different second PWM data in different groups. The first PWM data generated by the first gray scale data and the second PWM data generated by the second gray scale data jointly form complete PWM data.
The PWM synthesis module 300 in the present embodiment may be implemented by using any PWM chip known in the art, and is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of a common PWM chip, as shown in fig. 4. In this chip, the function of the counters is implemented by the row/bank controllers.
Besides, as shown in fig. 3, the counter here may be a counter that is independent from the PWM combining module 300 and is connected to the PWM combining module 300, or may be a clock counter that is built in the PWM combining module 300, and generally, the counter is selected to be configured in the PWM combining module 300, which is also a conventional design manner of the current PWM chip.
The embodiment also provides a driving method for gray scale display of an LED display screen, which is implemented by using the driving module for gray scale display of an LED display screen, and the method includes:
step S100: dividing the gray scale data of each display frame into first gray scale data displayed in a circulating way and second gray scale data with a fixed group number N, wherein N is a fixed integer;
step S200: sending the first gray data into a first PWM generating module 100 to obtain first PWM data;
synchronously sending the second gray data to a second PWM generating module 200 to obtain second PWM data;
step S300: sending the first PWM data and the second PWM data into a PWM synthesis module 300 to obtain 1 group of PWM data;
repeating the steps S200-S300 for N times to obtain N groups of PWM data in one display frame period; the N times of repetition here means that the first gray data are circularly sent to the first PWM generating module 100N times to obtain N identical first PWM data, and the second gray data are sequentially sent to N groups (in principle, each group is not identical), that is, the second gray data are not the same second gray data that are circularly sent repeatedly, but the N groups of second gray data are divided into N times to be sent to the second PWM generating module 200, a group of second gray data are sent at a time, and each group of second gray data are synchronously circularly sent to the first gray data one time, so that each group of obtained PWM data is composed of the first PWM data + the second PWM data.
Step S400: sequentially displaying the obtained N groups of PWM data in a display frame period T, wherein the display time periods of the N groups of PWM data are T0-Tn, and the residual time periods Tn-Td are not displayed, wherein T0 represents the starting time of the display frame period T, and Td represents the ending time of the display frame period T;
step S500: and circularly displaying the first PWM data and the second PWM data in turn in the residual time period Tn-Td until the display frame is finished, wherein the display frequency of the first PWM data in a circular mode is M-N times and the display frequency of the second PWM data in a circular mode is M-N times in the time period Tn-Td according to the formula
Next, the process is carried out.
Optionally, as an optimal implementation, the gray scale display driving method for the LED display panel includes that the first gray scale data is high gray scale data, and the second gray scale data is low gray scale data; correspondingly, the first PWM data is high gray PWM data, and the second PWM data is low gray PWM data. The definition of the high gray data and the low gray data may refer to the related description in the LED display panel gray display driving module, and besides, the grouping manner of the first gray data and the second gray data is also the same as that of the LED display panel gray display driving module, which is not described herein again.
Optionally, in the method for driving the gray scale display of the LED display panel, the high gray data are completely the same, that is, the first gray data are completely the same, and the generated first PWM data are also completely the same, that is, the same high gray data are cyclically displayed in the method, and the same high gray PWM data are cyclically displayed. Referring to fig. 5, in a specific display aspect, in a display period of one display frame, a cyclic display manner of high gray data and low gray data is adopted, that is, high gray data + low gray data + high gray data + low gray data + … … + high gray data … …, and after N (N = N) cycles, that is, after the display of a fixed number N of sets of low gray data is completed, the cyclic display of the high gray data and the low gray data is repeated until the end of the current display frame and the next display frame come.
Optionally, a method for driving gray scale display of LED display panel includes M sets of first PWM data and N + during a complete display frame period T
And a set of second PWM data, wherein the first PWM data and the second PWM data are sequentially displayed cyclically,
the number of times of circular display after the second gray data is displayed for N times, M is greater than N, and finally the number of times of displaying the second PWM data is [0, N +
]That is, the second PWM data displays N + at most
Next, the lowest number of times of display is 0, that is, no display.
Referring to fig. 6, it is a schematic diagram that the second PWM data (low gray data) is not completely displayed in one display frame period, and in this state, the number of times that the second PWM data is completely displayed is necessarily less than N +
And (4) grouping.
Preferably, in the method for driving the gray scale display of the LED display panel, the number of times of displaying the second PWM data is N, and the design can ensure the integrity of the gray scale data, that is, all the second gray scale data corresponding to the gray scale data are displayed.
Referring to fig. 5 and 6, the value of M depends on the number N of groups of the second gray data, the length of the time period Tn-Td, and the position of the transition frame command, for example, in fig. 6, the transition frame command arrives in the middle of the display of the high gray data, in which case M is not an integer but a decimal, and may be a value such as 67.4, and similarly, when the transition frame arrives in the low gray display frame, there are 1 incompletely displayed groups corresponding to gray values
。
Optionally, the present invention further includes a method for switching between adjacent display frames, where the method uses VSYNC commands to switch the display frames, and includes the following scenarios:
1) the VSYNC instruction arrives in the middle of a first PWM data frame, the VSYNC instruction is switched to the next 1 in the middle of the first PWM data frame, the VSYNC instruction arrives in the middle of the first PWM data frame or a second PWM data frame, and the VSYNC instruction is switched to the next display frame in the middle of the first PWM data frame or the second PWM data frame; or, in order to ensure the display effect, the gray data is updated after the current first PWM data frame or the second PWM data frame is displayed, and the display frame is switched to the next display frame;
2) and switching to the next display frame at the end point of the first PWM data frame or the second PWM data frame when the VSYNC command arrives at the end point of the first PWM data frame or the second PWM data frame.
Referring to fig. 6, a transition frame command is shown in the middle of a high gray display frame (i.e., the display frame corresponding to the first gray data), in which case M is not an integer but a decimal, i.e., in the case where transition is directly performed in the middle of displaying a high gray frame, i.e., the above-mentioned scene 1).
The principle is the same as described above for the transition frame command in the middle of the second gray data (i.e., the low gray data), which in this case results in
There is, and thus contains, a second gray scale data set that is not fully displayed.
Optionally, in the method for driving the LED display screen for grayscale display, when a VSYNC instruction arrives, the method further includes two cases, namely, a counter reset case and a counter non-reset case;
under the condition that the counter is reset, the next frame starts to display from the 1 st group of gray PWM data of the N groups of gray PWM data of the frame, and after the N groups of gray PWM data are displayed, the cyclic display is started from the 1 st group of gray PWM data of the N groups of gray PWM data of the frame;
under the condition that the counter is not reset, assuming that the current frame displays N groups of gray-scale PWM data and then displays the N groups of gray-scale PWM data until the x-1 group of the N groups of gray-scale PWM data of the frame is finished, the next frame starts to display from the x group of gray-scale PWM data in the N groups of gray-scale PWM data of the frame, wherein the value of x is [1, N ], and after the x-N groups of gray-scale PWM data are displayed, the 1 group of gray-scale PWM data of the N groups of gray-scale PWM data of the frame starts to display circularly until the frame is displayed.
For example, in the case of taking N to 16, including 16 sets of gray PWM data, assuming that the display data of the current frame is 1-2-3 … … 16-1-2-3, i.e. 3 sets of gray PWM data (1, 2, 3) are additionally displayed, the gray data displayed in the next frame is displayed starting from the 4 th set of gray data of the next frame, i.e. 4-5-6-7 … … 16-1-2-3-4-5-6-7, i.e. the number of additionally displayed sets in the next frame is 4, 5, 6, 7.
In the above situation, no matter the counter is reset or not reset, a complete N groups of gray scale PWM data are necessarily displayed within one display frame period.
Optionally, in the case that 1 PWM channel controls a plurality of rows of LED lamps, one first PWM data frame includes first PWM data PWM of all rows, and one second PWM data frame also includes second PWM data PWM of all rows. Referring to fig. 8, with a 4-row example, the PWM for each row is determined by the data for each row. In this case, one high gray frame should include all 4 rows of high gray PWMs, and all 4 rows of low gray PWMs corresponding to the mth group of low gray. When only the high-gradation PWM is left after the low-gradation display is completed, the case is similar and only the low-gradation PWM is not included. Although there are several rows, for each LED lamp, the high gray frames are still repeated in a display frame, and the low gray groups display several groups (the number of groups to be displayed is determined by the number of groups to be configured) until the next display frame comes.
