Description
The present disclosure relates to display technologies, and in particular, to a display module and a brightness control method of the display module.
However, due to the manufacturing process of Thin Film Transistors (TFTs), the TFTs have problems of uniformity or stability, which causes uneven display brightness or image retention of the AMOLED display screen, and thus the AMOLED display screen needs to be compensated. The compensation method generally includes internal compensation and external compensation, the internal compensation results in complex pixel structure and smaller compensation range, and people tend to adopt the external compensation with simpler pixel structure and larger compensation range. One way of using external compensation is to have a detection TFT for each row of pixel cells, and the detection TFT will detect the electrical signal of the driving TFT of a certain row of pixel cells during each frame display time, and the detection is usually performed in the blank space (V-Blanking) during the idle time except for writing data in each frame. However, the current that should flow to the Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) during the detection flows to the detection TFT, which causes the OLED to become dark and generates a dark line, thereby affecting the display effect of the display screen.

It should be noted that the detected pixel column may be described as a detected pixel column, and the adjacent pixel column may be described as an adjacent pixel column, which refers to a pixel column adjacent to the detected pixel column.
Referring to fig. 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a brightness control method. The luminance control method of the present embodiment is applied to the display module 100 of the present embodiment. The brightness control method includes:

In the display module 100 and the brightness control method of the above embodiment, the processor 30 reduces the brightness of the pixel row adjacent to the detected pixel row, so that the brightness of the dark line and the brightness of the adjacent pixel row generated when the detected pixel row is detected are smoothly transited, and the display effect caused by the dark line can be reduced by using the integration effect of human eyes, thereby ensuring the quality of the display image displayed on the display screen 10.
Referring to fig. 1, an electronic device 1000 is further provided in the present embodiment, where the electronic device 1000 includes a main board 200 and the display module 100, and the main board 200 is connected to the display module 100. The main board 200 may input a corresponding electrical signal, for example, voltage/current data, to the display assembly 100. The display assembly 100 may process an input image signal and display it on the display screen 10. The display assembly 100 includes a plurality of pixel units arranged in an array, and the plurality of pixel units arranged in a row form a pixel row. The electronic device 1000 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure includes, but is not limited to, an electronic device 1000 such as a display, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, an electronic book, a television, and a wearable smart device.
In some embodiments, the display screen 10 has blank areas before and after each frame, and the detector 20 detects the actual brightness information of each pixel row during the blank areas.
It is understood that the main board 200 to which the display module 100 is connected may write the voltage/current data to the pixel rows of the display module 100 row by row, for example, in each frame time of the display frame, the voltage is written to each pixel row by row, the voltage/current data is not written to the pixel cells in the time period between every two frames, and the blank area (V-Blanking) is in the time period, that is, the blank area exists in the idle time before or after each writing of the next frame data.
Specifically, the main board 200 connected to the display module 100 is connected to the processor 30 of the present embodiment, and the processor 30 may process the electrical signal output by the main board 200, form an image signal and feed back the image signal to the display screen 10, so as to finally display image information corresponding to the image signal on the display screen 10. The processor 30 may also control the main board 200 according to the compensation brightness information, so that the main board 200 outputs an image signal corresponding to the compensation brightness information. . In the embodiment of the present application, the detector 20 does not detect the actual brightness information of the pixel rows when the display device 100 is in the blank area, such as the voltage or the current, and does not detect the actual brightness information during the working time period of writing data in each frame, which can reduce the risk of errors in displaying the display device 100.
Generally, since the detector 20 detects the actual brightness information of each pixel row, the current of the pixel at least partially flows to the detection line, which causes the pixel of the display screen 10 to be darkened to generate a dark line.
In some implementations, the first calibration information includes an ideal Gamma curve of each pixel row when the display panel 10 is normally displaying, the actual brightness information includes an actual Gamma curve of the detected pixel row, and the compensated brightness information includes a compensated Gamma curve of a pixel row adjacent to the detected pixel row, where the compensated Gamma curve is located between the ideal Gamma curve and the actual Gamma curve.
Each Gamma curve includes luminance data and gray-scale data, the detector 20 detects actual luminance data of each pixel row, the processor 30 compares the actual luminance data with ideal luminance data of the first correction information to obtain compensation luminance data of the compensation Gamma curve, and the processor 30 further adjusts the luminance of the adjacent pixel rows according to the compensation luminance data.
Specifically, the first correction information may be understood as an ideal Gamma curve, that is, a Gamma curve of each pixel row when the display screen 10 displays normally. The first correction information includes gray scale data (ideal gray scale data for short) during normal display and luminance data (ideal luminance data for short) during normal display, and the ideal gray scale data is used as an X coordinate and the ideal luminance data is used as a Y coordinate, so that an ideal Gamma curve is drawn and formed. Multiple sets of ideal Gamma curves may be stored in the calibration module 40 to correspond to different modes of display. When the detected actual brightness information of the pixel line is inconsistent with the data corresponding to the ideal Gamma curve when the display screen 10 displays normally, the processor 30 adjusts the brightness information of the pixel line adjacent to the detected pixel line to be the compensation brightness information. Specifically, the luminance information includes gray-scale data and luminance data, that is, the actual luminance information includes actual gray-scale data and actual luminance data, and the compensation luminance information includes compensation gray-scale data and compensation luminance data. The luminance data may be a voltage value.
In this embodiment, it is assumed that the detection of the pixel row does not affect the gray scale data of the pixel row, and therefore, the compensation luminance information is obtained according to the actual luminance data and the ideal luminance data, that is, under the condition of the same gray scale value, the compensation luminance data is obtained by calculating after comparing the actual luminance data and the ideal luminance data, so as to obtain the compensation luminance information. In one embodiment, the compensation luminance data takes any value in an interval formed by the actual luminance data and the ideal luminance data, preferably taking the intermediate value between the actual luminance data and the ideal luminance data. The compensation luminance data is a value between the actual luminance data and the ideal luminance data, so that the luminance of the dark line generated when the detected pixel line is detected and the luminance of the adjacent pixel line smoothly transit to the luminance during normal display, and the human eye does not easily feel the existence of the dark line, thereby improving the display effect of the display screen 10.
Further, the processor 30 converts the compensation brightness data into a compensation voltage for driving the pixels, and further outputs the compensation voltage to the display screen 10 to adjust the display brightness of the display screen 10.
Since it can be known in advance which pixel line is to be detected, when the main board 200 writes a frame of data, the brightness of the adjacent pixel line can be adjusted according to the compensation brightness information, that is, the brightness data of the pixel line near the dark line can be adjusted, and the processor 30 can select the compensation brightness information of the pixel line adjacent to the detected pixel line according to the actual brightness information of the detected pixel line and the first correction information, so that the brightness of the dark line generated in the detected pixel line and the adjacent pixel lines smoothly transition, and according to the visual principle of human eyes, the smooth transition does not make the picture obviously have a single dark line, thereby ensuring the quality of the picture displayed by the display screen 10.
Specifically, the luminance information of the pixel row includes gray scale data and luminance data, and the gray scale data and the luminance data are in a corresponding relationship with each other. Referring to fig. 3, L1 is an ideal Gamma curve drawn according to gray scale data and luminance data of the pixel row during normal display, L2 is an actual Gamma curve drawn according to actual gray scale data and actual luminance data of the pixel row during detection, and when the pixel row is detected, the luminance during detection is attenuated under the same gray scale data. For example, when the gray scale data is x, the ideal luminance data of the pixel row is y, and the actual luminance data is decreased to y1 because the detection causes the luminance of the detected pixel row to decrease by Δ L under the gray scale data. Since Δ L corresponding to each gray scale data is different, recording the actual luminance data y1 under each gray scale data results in an actual Gamma curve L2 after luminance decay.
Referring to fig. 4, L1 is an ideal Gamma curve when the detected pixel column is normally displayed, L2 is an actual Gamma curve when the detected pixel column is detected, L3 is a compensation Gamma curve drawn by a pixel column adjacent to the detected pixel column according to gray scale data and compensation luminance data, L4 is a compensation Gamma curve drawn by another pixel column adjacent to the detected pixel column (e.g., an adjacent pixel column adjacent to the adjacent pixel column) according to gray scale data and compensation luminance data, and the L3 curve and the L4 curve are located between the L1 curve and the L2 curve. Several groups of transition compensation Gamma curves are set between the ideal Gamma curve L1 which is normally displayed and the actual Gamma curve L2 after the brightness is attenuated, so as to realize the smooth transition of the brightness.
When the detected pixel row is x gray scale data, the brightness data is reduced from point a to point B, the Gamma curve passing between points AB is used as a combination of a plurality of compensation Gamma curves for transition, and when the main board 200 writes data in the next frame, the brightness gradients of a plurality of pixel rows adjacent to the detected pixel row are adjusted according to the actual brightness information of the pixels of the detected pixel row and the first correction information, that is, the brightness of a plurality of adjacent pixel rows is reduced according to the calculated actual brightness information of the detected pixel row.
Referring to fig. 5, for example, in the detection, one column is detected in a blank space (V-Blanking) of each frame, for example, detecting the m-th row, the processor 30 may adjust the luminance values of k adjacent rows respectively according to the actual luminance value (i.e. the actual luminance data) and the ideal luminance value (i.e. the ideal luminance data) of the m-th row, for example, the luminance value of the m +1 th line is adjusted to luminance 1, the luminance value of the m +2 th line is adjusted to luminance 2, the luminance value of the m +3 th line is adjusted to luminance 3 … …, the luminance value of the m + k th line is adjusted to luminance k, meanwhile, the brightness value of the m-1 line is adjusted to be brightness 1, the brightness value of the m-2 line is adjusted to be brightness 2, the brightness value of the m-3 line is adjusted to be brightness 3 … …, the brightness value of the m-k line is adjusted to be brightness k, and m and k are both natural numbers larger than 0.
In some embodiments, the detector 20 is configured to detect the actual luminance information of a plurality of pixel rows at the same time when the display device 100 is in a blank area, the detected plurality of pixel rows being separated by a predetermined number of pixel rows. Therefore, the detection efficiency can be improved, and the generation of dark lines during detection can be avoided. For example, multiple rows of pixels are detected simultaneously in the blank area (V-Blanking) of each frame, such as m +1 th row and 2m +1 th row, the detected row is m +1 th row when m rows are written and 2m +1 th row when 2m rows are written, the detected row is m + n th row in the next m frames, the detected row is 2m + n th row … …, and so on. For example, the pixel rows of row 2, 6, and 10 are detected simultaneously. The pixel rows 2 and 6 are separated by 4 pixel rows, and the pixel rows 6 and 10 are also separated by 4 pixel rows, that is, the preset separation pixel row number is 4.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of detecting actual luminance information of a plurality of pixel lines simultaneously, the detected pixel lines of adjacent frames cannot be spaced too close together, so as to avoid the situation that the image is affected by the overlapping of the transition regions.
In some embodiments, the plurality of pixel rows includes a plurality of groups, each group including the same number of pixel rows, and the detector 20 simultaneously detects one pixel row in each group.
In this embodiment, all the pixel rows of the display assembly 100 may be divided into multiple groups adjacent to each other, and the number of the pixel rows in each group may be set according to actual conditions, wherein one way is to divide the pixel rows into multiple groups on average. A row of pixels in each group is detected in a blank area (V-Blanking) of each frame. For example, the m-th row of pixels in each group is detected in the first frame, the m + 1-th row of pixels in each group is detected in the second frame, and the m + 2-th row of pixels in each group is detected in the third frame.
Referring to fig. 1, in some embodiments, the processor 30 includes a processing unit 32, a buffer 34, a digital-to-analog converter 36 and a buffer amplifier 38, the processing unit 32 processes the electrical signal input by the motherboard 200 and stores the processed electrical signal in the buffer 34, the digital-to-analog converter 36 converts the electrical signal processed by the processing unit 32 into an image signal, and the image signal is amplified by the buffer amplifier 38 and displays corresponding image information on the display screen 10. The image signal includes a driving voltage signal and the image information includes luminance. The processing unit 32 is further configured to generate compensated luminance information according to the actual luminance information and the first correction information, and further control the main board 200 to output an electrical signal, such as a driving current or a driving voltage, corresponding to the compensated luminance information, so as to finally control the display of the display screen.
The detector 20 detects the actual brightness information of each pixel line in the display screen 10, and the processor 30 calculates the compensation brightness information of the pixel line adjacent to the detected pixel line according to the actual brightness information of each pixel line detected by the detector 20 and the first correction information pre-stored in the correction module 40, and the compensation brightness information of the adjacent pixel line can also be temporarily buffered in the buffer 34. In some embodiments, referring to fig. 6, each pixel unit of the display panel 10 includes a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2, a third transistor T3, a capacitor Cst, and a light emitting diode d (not labeled); a source electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to the positive voltage ELVDD of the power supply, a drain electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to an anode electrode of the light emitting diode d, one end of the capacitor Cst, and a drain electrode of the third transistor T3, and a gate electrode of the first transistor T1 is connected to a source electrode of the second transistor T2; the drain of the second transistor T2 and the gate of the second transistor T2 are connected to the processor 30, and the source of the second transistor T2 is connected to one end of the capacitor Cst and the gate of the first transistor T1; the drain of the third transistor T3 is connected to the anode of the led d and one end of the capacitor Cst, the gate of the third transistor T3 is connected to the processor 30, and the source of the third transistor T3 is connected to the detector 20. The cathode of the light emitting diode d is connected to the negative voltage ELVSS of the power supply.
Thus, the display panel 10 outputs a corresponding image and can detect the pixel rows of the display device 100 by turning on and off the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3, and the circuit is simple.
Specifically, when the gate Gm of the second transistor T2 is input with a high level, the capacitor Cst to which the second transistor T2 is connected is charged, and the first transistor T1 is turned on to make the light emitting diode d emit light.
It should be noted that, when the pixel row is detected, the gate Gm of the second transistor T2 is inputted with a high level, and the gate Sm of the third transistor T3 is inputted with a high level to turn on the third transistor T3. The pixel current flows from the first transistor T1 to the third transistor T3, and the display of the display panel 10 is abnormal, so in the embodiment of the present application, the detection can be performed by switching different pixel rows, and the dark lines generated during the detection can be switched throughout the entire display area, so that the dark lines are less noticeable to human eyes.
Referring to fig. 7, in some embodiments, the pixel column detection process includes an initialization phase in which the processor 30 is configured to control the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 to be turned on.
In some embodiments, in the initialization stage, the brightness control method includes:
the processor 30 controls the second transistor and the third transistor to be turned on.
Thus, a stable state can be provided for the display screen 10 to detect. Specifically, in the initialization stage, the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3 input a high level to turn on the second transistor T2 and the third transistor T3, respectively. The initial voltage Vint is written at the sensing terminal of the source of the third transistor T3.
In some embodiments, the pixel column detection process includes a charging phase after the initialization phase, in which the capacitor Cst is in a charging state and the first transistor T1, the second transistor T2, and the third transistor T3 are all in a conducting state.
