Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising an … …" does not exclude the presence of other like elements in a commodity or system that includes the element.
The following explains an application scenario provided by an embodiment of the present invention:
the scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention relates to a backlight module. The backlight module may also be referred to as a backlight unit. A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) of the Display device cannot emit light, and thus the LCD needs a backlight module as a light source. Therefore, the mini LED lamp can be selected as the light source of the backlight module. The mini LED lamp has the advantages of low power consumption, bright display picture and high brightness, can be used for locally adjusting the brightness of the backlight module, and has low cost, excellent readability and bright color.
Fig. 1 is a schematic view of an application scenario provided in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, when the user 101 watches tv programs through the lcd 102, the backlight module behind the screen of the lcd 102 emits light, and accordingly, the user 101 can see the picture information of the lcd 102.
When the mini LEDs are selected as the light source of the backlight module, more mini LEDs are required to be used as the light source, and therefore, brightness deviation may exist in one or more mini LEDs of the more mini LEDs due to various reasons, so that brightness of the backlight module is not uniform.
In some technologies, a backlight compensation value estimated for a certain display abnormal region is used to further perform backlight compensation on a low-brightness part of an original image to improve brightness, and backlight compensation with different scale factors is performed on a high-brightness part, so as to avoid the problem of uneven brightness of a mini LED as much as possible.
The following explains the sources of the inventive concepts of the embodiments of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of compensation on a behavioral basis; as shown in fig. 2, the backlight module includes a plurality of mini LEDs, which are divided into a plurality of rows, and the brightness of the backlight module has a certain difference in the vertical direction, and the brightness of the backlight module corresponds to corresponding gray levels, and non-uniform gray levels can be searched along the vertical direction by a testing device (a gray scale meter or a camera), which are respectively 60% gray level, 70% gray level, 75% gray level, 85% gray level, 90% gray level, 95% gray level and 100% gray level, so that the compensation values in the vertical direction are also set on a line basis, and the 100% gray level is set as the gray level corresponding to the normal display brightness, and the compensation values in each row sequentially correspond to a 40% compensation value, a 30% compensation value, a 25% compensation value, a 15% compensation value, a 10% compensation value, a 5% compensation value and a 0% compensation value, and further, the backlight module is compensated by using the compensation value, so that the backlight module displays the normal brightness, the uniformity of the backlight module is improved by compensating the uneven brightness of the backlight module by taking the area in the horizontal direction as a reference.
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of column-based compensation; as shown in fig. 3, the backlight module includes a plurality of mini LEDs, which are divided into a plurality of rows, and the luminance of the mini LEDs has a certain difference in the horizontal direction, and the test equipment can search for non-uniform gray scales in the horizontal direction, which are respectively 60% gray scale, 70% gray scale, 80% gray scale, 85% gray scale, 90% gray scale, 95% gray scale and 100% gray scale, so that the compensation value in the horizontal direction is also set based on columns, and 100% gray scale is set as the gray scale value corresponding to the normal display luminance, and the compensation value in each row sequentially corresponds to 40% compensation value, 30% compensation value, 20% compensation value, 15% compensation value, 10% compensation value, 5% compensation value and 0% compensation value, and further, the compensation value is performed on the backlight module by using the compensation value, so that the backlight module displays the normal luminance, and the non-uniform backlight module is compensated based on the area in the vertical direction, the uniformity of the backlight module is improved.
Illustratively, with a picture ratio of 16: for example, the compensation value of 9 may be 16 bits per mini LED. For the existing single compensation scheme, since the compensation value of each mini LED needs to be stored, the overall size of the compensation value is the total number multiplied by 16. For the compensation by row/column scheme provided by the above two schemes, the overall size of the compensation value is 16 times the sum of the number of rows and columns. Taking a certain row of data as an example, when the number of rows of the mini LEDs is 20 and the number of columns of the mini LEDs is 40, if the mini LEDs are used for compensation, the overall size of the compensation value is 40, 20, 16 to 12800 bits, and if the mini LEDs are used for compensation, the overall size of the compensation value is 40, 16, 20, 16 to 960 bits, and 960 bits are obviously smaller than 12800 bits.
Therefore, the two schemes can compensate the whole backlight module by taking the rows and the columns as basic units, reduce the data storage amount and the data reading amount and improve the control efficiency, but the two schemes are difficult to realize the compensation of the LED which displays the abnormity at a certain specific position.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when searching for a gray scale that is not uniform in each direction, a manner of perceptual measurement, such as observation by human eyes, may also be used.
In view of this, embodiments of the present invention provide a backlight compensation method, which can obtain a control signal for controlling the brightness of a backlight module; determining compensation information corresponding to a specific position in the backlight module; furthermore, the multi-row compensation within the first preset range of the specific row and the multi-row compensation within the second preset range of the specific column can be respectively performed in a stepped manner according to the compensation information corresponding to the specific position, so as to obtain the control signal of the mini LED of each row and each column after compensation, and the brightness of the backlight module is controlled according to the control signal after compensation. Therefore, the specific area with abnormal display in the brightness in the backlight module can be compensated by taking the rows and the columns as a basic unit, so that the data storage quantity and the data reading quantity are reduced, the control efficiency is improved, the improvement of the display effect is also considered, the brightness uniformity of the backlight module is improved, and the phenomenon of uneven brightness of the liquid crystal display screen is improved.
The following describes the technical solution of the present invention and how to solve the above technical problems with specific examples. The following several specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and details of the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a backlight compensation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 4, the method includes:
s401, obtaining a control signal for controlling the brightness of the backlight module.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the control signal may be a signal for directly or indirectly controlling the backlight module, and the control signal may include a control signal corresponding to each row or each column of the mini LEDs in the backlight module.
For example, in the application scenario of fig. 1, a control signal for controlling the brightness of the backlight module of the liquid crystal display 102 may be obtained.
S402, determining compensation information corresponding to a specific position in the backlight module; the specific position is the position where the mini LED displaying the abnormity is located; the compensation information comprises a row compensation value corresponding to a specific row and a column compensation value corresponding to a specific column; the specific row and the specific column are respectively the row and the column where the specific position is located.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the element of the mini LED lighting includes current and/or data, wherein the data may be backlight image data or PWM data, the compensation value may refer to a value for compensating a current value or the backlight image data or the PWM data, and the compensation value may be a compensation value set based on a line in a horizontal direction and a line in a vertical direction.
For example, the compensation information corresponding to a specific position in the backlight module may be determined according to a gray-level value of the specific position in the backlight module where the luminance display is abnormal, where the gray-level value of the specific position is the actual display luminance of the specific position, for example, the gray-level value of the specific position in the horizontal direction is 110%, and the gray-level value of the specific position in the vertical direction is 120%, and further, it may be determined that the row compensation value of the row where the specific position is located is-8% and the column compensation value of the column where the specific position is located is-12%.
It should be noted that, if the actual display luminance of the row or column at the specific position is greater than the target luminance to be displayed, when the specific position is compensated, the sum of the absolute values of the row compensation value and the column compensation value is less than or equal to the maximum value of the difference between the actual display luminance of the row or column and the target luminance to be displayed, so that when the row (or column) is compensated, the compensation value of the column (or row) is not affected, and the final display luminance does not exceed the target luminance to be displayed.
And S403, respectively performing stepped compensation on the multiple rows in the first preset range of the specific row and the multiple rows in the second preset range of the specific column according to the compensation information corresponding to the specific position to obtain control signals of the mini LEDs in each row and each column after compensation, and controlling the brightness of the backlight module according to the control signals after compensation.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the first preset range may refer to a set range area in which the backlight module is located, the range area may be symmetrically distributed with the row of the specific position, if the row of the specific position is closer to the edge zone, the range of the area close to the edge zone is smaller than the range of the area at the other side of the specific position, the second preset range may refer to a set range area in which the backlight module is located, the distribution characteristics of the range area are similar to the first preset range, and details are not described herein.
For example, according to the compensation information corresponding to the specific position, for example, the compensation information corresponding to the specific position is a row compensation value of-8% and a column compensation value of-12%, then 4 rows in the first preset range of the specific row and 9 columns in the second preset range of the specific column may be respectively compensated in a stepwise manner, and further, the control signals of the mini LEDs in the compensated 4 rows and 9 columns may be obtained, and the brightness of the backlight module may be controlled according to the compensated control signals.
Alternatively, the stepwise compensation may be that, along an outward direction centering on the specific position, the absolute value of the compensation value corresponding to each position gradually decreases, and decreases stepwise. For example, if the specific position is in row 5, column 4, and the row compensation value and the column compensation value of the specific position are 20% and 10%, respectively, the compensation values in the rows upward from the specific position are 15% compensation value (row 4), 10% compensation value (row 3), and 5% compensation value (row 2), respectively, the compensation values in the downward rows are 15% compensation value (row 6), 10% compensation value (row 7), and 5% compensation value (row 8), respectively, the compensation values in the leftward columns from the specific position are 8% compensation value (column 3), 5% compensation value (column 2), and 2% compensation value (column 1), and the compensation values in the rightward columns from the specific position are 8% compensation value (column 5), 5% compensation value (column 6), and 2% compensation value (column 7), respectively.
In practical application, the control signal corresponding to each frame of the display image may be determined first, and then the control signal and the corresponding compensation value are superimposed to obtain the compensated control signal. It should be noted that, the row compensation values corresponding to the mini LEDs in each row are the same, and the column compensation values corresponding to the mini LEDs in each column are the same, when the mini LEDs in each row and each column are compensated, the mini LEDs in each row may be compensated first, and then the mini LEDs in each column are compensated to obtain the compensated control signal, or the mini LEDs in each column may be compensated first, and then the mini LEDs in each row are compensated to obtain the compensated control signal, and the specific compensation sequence is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
Therefore, the backlight compensation method provided by the invention can compensate the specific position with abnormal display of the brightness in the backlight module, and can also compensate the rows and the columns in the peripheral preset area, so that the difference between the specific position and the peripheral area is reduced, the brightness uniformity of the backlight module is improved, and the phenomenon of uneven brightness of the liquid crystal display screen is improved.
For example, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of performing backlight compensation according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, when there is an abnormal display brightness at a specific position of the backlight module, the gray value corresponding to the row at the specific position is 125%, the gray value corresponding to the column at the specific position is 125%, and the gray values corresponding to the rows and the columns of the other regions except the specific position are 100%, the row compensation value at the specific position may be determined to be-15%, the column compensation value may be-13%, further, the row compensation values in the peripheral regions of the specific position (i.e., in the first preset range and the second preset range) may be determined to be-4% compensation value, -7.5% compensation value, and-4% compensation value, the column compensation values are respectively-3% compensation value, -7% compensation value, and-3% compensation value, the compensation value is used for compensating the specific position and the surrounding area of the backlight module, so that the backlight module displays normal brightness, and the integral uniformity of the backlight module is improved.
Correspondingly, fig. 6 is a schematic view of a mini LED structure for performing backlight compensation according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6, if a plurality of mini LEDs in a specific area (a black frame area in the drawing) of an original image are abnormal in display, and the specific area includes a specific position, rows in a first preset range, and columns in a second preset range, the luminance of the plurality of mini LEDs in the vertical direction can be compensated, and further, the luminance of the plurality of mini LEDs in the horizontal direction can be compensated, so that the display luminance of the mini LEDs compensated in the horizontal and vertical directions is finally obtained, and the difference between the specific area and the ambient luminance is not large.
It can be understood that the gray-level value at the specific position corresponds to the actual display brightness at the specific position, which is the same in the embodiments of the present invention, and details are not described below.
Optionally, according to the compensation information corresponding to the specific position, performing stepwise compensation on multiple rows in a first preset range of the specific row and multiple columns in a second preset range of the specific column, respectively, including:
compensating the specific row and the specific column according to the compensation value of the specific row and the compensation value corresponding to the specific column;
compensating each line in other lines according to compensation values corresponding to the other lines in a first preset range of the specific line, wherein the compensation value of each line is determined by the distance between the line and the specific line;
and compensating each column in other columns in a second preset range of the specific column according to the compensation value corresponding to the other columns, wherein the compensation value of each column is determined by the distance between the column and the specific column.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the other rows refer to other rows except the row where the specific position is located in the first preset range, and the other columns refer to other columns except the column where the specific position is located in the second preset range.
For example, the compensation value of the row where the specific position is located and the compensation value corresponding to the column where the specific position is located may be used to compensate the row where the specific position is located and the column where the specific position is located; for example, if the compensation value of the row in which the specific location is located is 10% and the compensation value corresponding to the column in which the specific location is located is 6%, the row in which the specific location is located and the column in which the specific location is located may be compensated according to the compensation values.
Further, each of the rows in the first preset range except the row in which the specific position is located may be compensated according to the compensation values corresponding to the other rows in the first preset range in which the specific position is located, for example, the other rows in the first preset range have 6 rows, and the compensation values respectively corresponding to the other rows in the first preset range from top to bottom are 1% compensation value, 3% compensation value, 6% compensation value, 3% compensation value and 1% compensation value, and then the other rows in the first preset range may be compensated according to the compensation values, and it can be understood that the magnitude of the absolute value of the compensation value is in direct proportion to the distance between the rows in which the specific position is located, that is, the closer to the row in which the specific position is located, the greater the absolute value of the compensation value of the row.
Correspondingly, each of the other columns may be compensated according to the compensation value corresponding to the other columns within the second preset range of the specific column, and the compensation process is similar to the row compensation and is not described herein again.
Therefore, the uniformity of the whole backlight module can be improved by compensating the specific position and the surrounding area, and the display effect is better.
It is understood that fig. 7A is a schematic diagram illustrating a smaller applicable area of the periphery compensation value at a specific location according to an embodiment of the present invention; the steps in the figure are used to represent the magnitude of the row compensation value corresponding to each row. As shown in fig. 7A, in a case that the compensation value at the specific position with non-uniform gray scale is smaller, the area (i.e. the first preset range and the second preset range) where the compensation value is applied around the specific position is smaller, and fig. 7B is a schematic diagram of a specific position where the area where the compensation value is applied around the specific position is larger according to an embodiment of the present invention; as shown in fig. 7B, when the compensation value is large at a specific position where the gradation is not uniform, the region around the specific position where the compensation value is applied needs to be enlarged appropriately.
Optionally, the first preset range is N rows centered on the specific row, and the second preset range is M columns centered on the specific column; the method further comprises the following steps:
for each row except the specific row in the first preset range, determining a proportionality coefficient of the row according to the distance between the row and the specific row, and multiplying the proportionality coefficient by a row compensation value of the specific row to obtain a row compensation value corresponding to the row;
for each column except the specific column in the second preset range, determining a proportionality coefficient of the column according to the distance between the column and the specific column, and multiplying the proportionality coefficient by the column compensation value of the specific column to obtain a column compensation value corresponding to the column;
the proportionality coefficient is a numerical value larger than 0 and smaller than 1, and the proportionality coefficient and the distance are in a negative correlation relationship.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the scaling factor may refer to a factor in which two interrelated quantities have corresponding numerical relationships, and the scaling factor is a value greater than 0 and less than 1, for example, when y is inversely proportional to x, if y is k/x (k is a constant, and k is not equal to zero), k is the scaling factor, and the specific value of the scaling factor in the embodiment of the present invention is not limited, and the present invention is only illustrated.
For example, if there are 6 rows in the first preset range except the specific row, the scale factor of each row in the first preset range except the specific row is determined according to the distance between the row and the specific row, and the closer the row is to the specific row, the larger the scale factor of the row is, for example, the scale factor of the 6 rows is 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.5, 0.4 from top to bottom, and the row compensation value of the specific row is 50%, then the scale factor is multiplied by the row compensation value of the specific row to obtain the row compensation values corresponding to the 6 rows as 20%, 25%, 30%, 25%, and 20%, respectively.
If there are 4 rows in the second preset range except the specific column, the scaling factor of the column is determined according to the distance between the column and the specific column for each column in the second preset range except the specific column, the scaling factor of the column is larger as the distance from the specific column is shorter, for example, the scaling factor of the 4 rows is 2, 0.5 and 0.2 from top to bottom, and the row compensation value of the specific column is 30%, the scaling factor is multiplied by the row compensation value of the specific column to obtain the column compensation values corresponding to the 4 rows as 6%, 15% and 6%, respectively.
It should be noted that, the rows and the columns in the first preset range may be determined by setting a distance value of one row or one column, or may be determined by setting a total number of rows and a total number of columns in the first preset range and the second preset range in advance, because the distance between each row and each column is equal, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
Therefore, compensation values of the number of rows and the number of columns in the first preset range and the second preset range can be determined by setting the proportionality coefficient, and the calculation speed and accuracy are improved.
Optionally, when there are 1 mini LEDs displaying an abnormality in the backlight module, the number of the specific positions is also 1, and the compensation information corresponding to the specific positions can be determined by an experimental method.
For example, each mini LED is controlled based on the same control signal, and the actual display brightness of each mini LED is tested by a gray scale or acquired as input by a user. And after finding out the specific position with abnormal display, adjusting the compensation value of the mini LED at the specific position and the compensation values of surrounding rows and columns, and finding out the row and column compensation values for realizing the actual display brightness balance of the backlight module.
Optionally, the number of the specific locations is multiple, and the method further includes:
controlling each mini LED based on the same control signal, and testing the actual display brightness of each mini LED through a gray scale meter or acquiring the actual display brightness of each mini LED input by a user;
selecting a position with the highest actual display brightness from a plurality of specific positions, and adjusting the actual display brightness of the mini LEDs at the rest specific positions except the selected position to be first brightness, wherein the difference between the first brightness and the actual display brightness of the selected position is less than a preset brightness threshold value;
calculating a row compensation value corresponding to each row and a column compensation value corresponding to each column according to the actual display brightness of the mini LED at the selected position, the adjusted actual display brightness of the mini LEDs at the other specific positions and the actual display brightness of the mini LEDs at the other specific positions except the specific positions;
storing the row compensation value and the column compensation value corresponding to the specific position in a display lookup table;
correspondingly, determining the compensation information corresponding to the specific position in the backlight module comprises:
and searching a row compensation value corresponding to the mini LED at the specific position and a column compensation value corresponding to the mini LED from a display lookup table, or acquiring the row compensation value and the column compensation value input by a user.
In the embodiment of the invention, the gray scale meter is an instrument for measuring the gray scale value of the backlight module consisting of the mini LEDs, and the backlight module consisting of the mini LEDs can provide backlight for the liquid crystal panel to display pictures on the liquid crystal panel. The row compensation value corresponding to each row and the column compensation value corresponding to each column are determined and stored in a Look-Up Table (LUT) for easy searching, and the data stored in the LUT may be suitable compensation values found through a large number of experiments.
The first brightness may refer to a brightness value close to the highest brightness of the actual display, and the preset brightness threshold may refer to a value set to determine that the difference between the highest brightness of the actual display and the first brightness is small, for example, if the preset brightness threshold may be set to 5% and the brightness value of the highest brightness of the actual display is 120%, the first brightness may be 118%.
For example, each mini LED may be controlled based on the same control signal, and the actual display brightness of each mini LED may be tested by a gray scale; if the luminance display abnormality exists in 3 specific positions, which are 120%, 110% and 105%, respectively, further, 120% of the positions with the highest actual display luminance is selected from the 3 specific positions, and the actual display luminance of the mini LEDs in the remaining 2 specific positions in the 3 specific positions is adjusted to 118% of the first luminance.
Further, a row compensation value corresponding to each row and a column compensation value corresponding to each column may be calculated according to the actual display brightness 120% of the mini LED at the position, the actual display brightness 118% of the mini LED at the other specific positions after adjustment, and the actual display brightness of the mini LED at the other specific positions except for the specific positions, wherein the actual display brightness of the mini LED at the other specific positions except for the specific positions may refer to 3 first preset ranges and 3 second preset ranges of the 3 specific positions, and the 3 first preset ranges and the 3 second preset ranges may overlap, but the row compensation values and the column compensation values in the 3 first preset ranges and the 3 second preset ranges may be obtained through calculation, and the row compensation values and the column compensation values corresponding to the 3 specific positions are stored in the display lookup table for later lookup.
It can be understood that the row compensation values and the column compensation values corresponding to a plurality of specific positions may be superimposed when in use, so that the values stored in the display lookup table may be row compensation values and column compensation values within different preset ranges, and may be superimposed when in use, or the superimposed values stored in the display lookup table may be directly used.
Accordingly, the row compensation value corresponding to the mini LED and the column compensation value corresponding to the mini LED at one or more specific positions may be searched from the display lookup table, or the row compensation value and the column compensation value input by the user may be obtained.
Therefore, no matter how many specific positions are, the row compensation value corresponding to each row and the column compensation value corresponding to each column of the backlight module which need to be compensated can be calculated and stored in the display lookup table for later searching, so that the application range is wide, and the accuracy is high.
Exemplarily, fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of performing backlight compensation at a plurality of specific locations according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 8, taking two specific locations as an example, the two specific locations are in a same row, the luminance of the row is 105% gray, the two specific locations are not in a same column, and the luminance is 80% gray and 120% gray, respectively, and further, the two specific locations are compensated, first, the luminance of the specific location with the luminance of 80% gray is adjusted to be 99% gray, and further, the compensation values of the two specific locations and the other mini LEDs except the two specific locations are determined to be respectively; the row compensation value is a-10% compensation value, -5% compensation value, -10% compensation value and-10% compensation value, the column compensation value is a 0% compensation value, -10% compensation value, -20% compensation value, -10% compensation value and-10% compensation value, the above compensation values are used for compensation, the uniformity is improved, wherein the compensation value can be a compensation value which is stored in the display lookup table and fused with two specific positions, therefore, the compensation value can be directly looked up and used from the display lookup table.
Optionally, the method further includes:
acquiring compensation information corresponding to the outermost layer of the backlight module; the compensation information corresponding to the outermost layer comprises row compensation values corresponding to upper and lower rows of the outermost layer and column compensation values corresponding to left and right columns of the outermost layer;
and performing step-type compensation on each layer in a third preset range of the outermost layer according to the compensation information corresponding to the outermost layer.
In the implementation of the invention, the two rows above and below the outermost layer refer to the upper and lower edges of the peripheral area frame where the abnormal mini-LEDs are located, and the two columns above and below the outermost layer refer to the left and right edges of the peripheral area frame where the abnormal mini-LEDs are located. The third preset range may refer to a set range region in which the layer on which the backlight module is located needs to be compensated. For example, the third preset range may have 3 layers.
For example, if the display brightness of the outermost layer is abnormal, the compensation information corresponding to the outermost layer of the backlight module may also be obtained, for example, the compensation information includes that the row compensation values corresponding to the upper and lower rows of the outermost layer are both 5% and the column compensation values corresponding to the left and right columns of the outermost layer are both 10%; and further, performing step-type compensation on 3 layers in a third preset range of the outermost layer according to the compensation information corresponding to the outermost layer.
In the present invention, the compensation may be performed for a specific position, or the compensation may be continued for the outermost layer based on the specific position.
Therefore, if the display brightness of the specific position and the outermost layer is abnormal, the invention can compensate all abnormal positions and properly compensate the surrounding area, and has wide application range and higher flexibility.
Optionally, the method further includes:
controlling each mini LED in the backlight module based on the same control signal, and measuring the actual display brightness of each mini LED in the backlight module;

for each line of the outermost layer, calculating a line compensation value corresponding to the line according to the actual display brightness of the line and the average value of the actual display brightness; and for each column of the outermost layer, calculating a column compensation value corresponding to the column according to the actual display brightness of the column and the average value of the actual display brightness.
For example, each mini LED in the backlight module can be controlled based on the same control signal, and the actual display brightness of each mini LED in the backlight module is measured by a gray scale; if the brightness of the outermost layer is displayed abnormally, and the brightness of each row and each column of the outermost layer is 80%, the actual display brightness mean value of other mini LEDs in the backlight module except the mini LEDs in the third preset range of the outermost layer can be calculated; for example, the average value is 95%, and further, for each line in the outermost layer, the line compensation value corresponding to the line is calculated according to the actual display brightness of the line and the actual display brightness average value; for example, 10% of the compensation value, and for each column of the outermost layer, the column compensation value corresponding to the column is calculated according to the average value of the actual display brightness of the column and the actual display brightness, for example, the compensation value of 10%.

and aiming at each layer in the third preset range, calculating a proportional coefficient corresponding to the layer according to the distance between the layer and the outermost layer, and multiplying the proportional coefficient and the compensation value of the outermost layer to obtain the compensation value corresponding to the layer.
Specifically, the multiplying the proportional coefficient by the compensation value of the outermost layer to obtain the compensation value corresponding to the layer means that the four edges of the outermost layer are multiplied by the corresponding proportional coefficient to obtain the compensation value corresponding to the four edges of the layer, and the determined proportional coefficient of each layer in the third preset range is also multiplied by the compensation value of the four edges of each layer in the third preset range.
Optionally, the scaling factor is a negative scaling factor, and an absolute value of the scaling factor of each layer and a distance corresponding to the layer are in a negative correlation relationship.
Illustratively, there are 3 layers in the third preset range, the compensation values of the four sides of the outermost layer are all 20%, for each layer in the 3 layers, the closer the layer is to the outermost layer according to the distance between the layer and the outermost layer, the larger the absolute value of the proportionality coefficient is, the proportional coefficient corresponding to the layer is calculated, for example, the calculated proportional coefficients are-0.3, -0.2 and-0.1, and the proportional coefficients are multiplied by the compensation values of the four sides of the outermost layer, so that the compensation values corresponding to the four sides of the 3 layers are all-6%, -4% and-2%, respectively.
Optionally, for each layer within the third preset range, if the number of layers different from the outermost layer is an even number, the proportionality coefficient of the layer is positive, and if the number of layers different from the outermost layer is an odd number, the proportionality coefficient of the layer is negative; the absolute value of the proportionality coefficient for each layer is inversely related to the distance of the layer from the outermost layer.
Illustratively, there are 3 layers within the third preset range, the compensation value of the four outermost sides is 20%, for each of the 3 layers, if the number of layers between the layer and the outermost layer is an even number, the proportionality coefficient of the layer is positive, and if the number of layers between the layer and the outermost layer is an odd number, the proportionality coefficient of the layer is negative, the proportionality coefficients corresponding to the layer are calculated, for example, the calculated proportionality coefficients are 0.3, -0.2 and 0.1, and the proportionality coefficients are multiplied by the compensation values of the four outermost sides to obtain compensation values of-6%, 4% and-2% respectively corresponding to the four outermost sides of the 3 layers.
It can be understood that there are various methods for finding the scaling factor corresponding to each layer through a large number of tests in the early stage and determining the scaling factor, which are not listed here, and are not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
It should be noted that, the compensation values corresponding to the four edges of each layer may be different or the same, and this is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present invention, but no matter how many compensation values are, a corresponding algorithm is used to determine the scaling factor.
