In the embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to fig. 2, it is exemplified that the ambient light sensor 151 is covered by the top of the OLED display screen 140.
In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the mobile phone 100 may be a full-screen mobile phone, and certainly, may also be a non-full-screen mobile phone, as long as the OLED display screen in the mobile phone is disposed above the ambient light sensor, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present disclosure.
It is to be understood that the structure of the mobile phone 100 shown in fig. 1 is not limited to the mobile phone in the embodiment of the present disclosure. The mobile phone in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include more components, fewer components, a combination of certain components or different component arrangements than those shown in fig. 1, and the embodiment of the present disclosure is not particularly limited in this respect.
In combination with the structure of the mobile phone, unlike a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), an OLED display is not backlit, each pixel in the OLED display is illuminated by a light emitting transistor, and different images can be displayed by controlling the illumination of each light emitting transistor.
In practical applications, for an OLED display screen, the adjustment mode (i.e. dimming mode) of the overall brightness is mainly and not limited to the following two modes:
first, a pulse-width modulation (PWM) mode.
In the PWM mode, a duty cycle adjustment signal is required (e.g., the duty cycle adjustment signal may be a square wave signal with a frequency of 240 Hz). The lighting time of each OLED in the OLED display screen is controlled through the PWM signal (namely the duty ratio adjusting signal). For example, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a PWM signal provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, referring to fig. 3, when the PWM signal is at a low level, the OLED is turned off, and at this time, the ambient light sensor disposed below the OLED may collect ambient light; and when the PWM signal is high, the OLED starts (or is called lit). Then, the collected data are traversed to obtain smaller numerical values, and the numerical values are transmitted to a light intensity conversion model to realize the conversion of the light intensity numerical values, so that the illuminance value of the external environment light is obtained. And finally, adjusting the brightness of each OLED of the OLED display screen according to the illuminance value of the external environment light. At this time, since the OLED is turned off, the data collected by the ambient light sensor is not affected by the OLED light leakage, which improves the accuracy of the brightness adjustment of the OLED.
It should be noted that the OLED display screen performs refresh display in the form of frames (frames) when displaying display contents such as images and videos, and refresh display of each frame may be refreshed line by line in the order from top to bottom, so that the display contents of one frame need to be refreshed many times. During the refreshing process of one frame, the OLED of the display screen area refreshed at each time is turned from on to off. Therefore, in the PWM mode, the OLED can refresh the display content according to the PWM signal. When the OLED display screen finishes refreshing the display content of a whole frame, a display synchronization signal is output, and the display synchronization signal can be used for indicating that the refreshing of the display content of the frame is finished.
Second, Direct Current (DC) mode.
In the DC mode, the duty ratio adjusting signal is not needed, but the brightness of the OLED display screen is adjusted by changing the supply current, the supply voltage, and the like.
However, with the demand for high refresh rate of OLED display screen, PWM mode is more and more prone to be applied in the scene where OLED brightness is low, and DC mode is more and more prone to be applied in the scene where OLED brightness is high. The scene with lower OLED brightness has lower illumination corresponding to the external environment light, and the signal-to-noise ratio is poor at this time. Then, when the dimming mode of the display screen is switched from the PWM mode to the DC mode, the frequency of the brightness adjustment signal of the display screen is unstable, which causes fluctuation in prediction of the light leakage brightness of the display screen, so that the same fluctuation occurs in prediction of the ambient light, and thus the stability of the brightness adjustment of the display screen is affected.
In order to solve the above problem, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display brightness adjusting method, which can be applied to a display brightness adjusting apparatus, where the display brightness adjusting apparatus can be the electronic device or a chip or a system on chip in the electronic device.
First, a DC dimming procedure according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is described.
Firstly, obtaining a spectral response signal F of each channel of an ambient light sensor i (λ); here, i denotes a channel of the ambient light sensor, i ═ C/R/G/B, C denotes a clear (clear) channel, R denotes a red channel, G denotes a green channel, B denotes a blue channel, and λ denotes a spectral wavelength.
Second step, obtaining spectral function F of different light sources j (lambda); j is 1,2,3, … …, n, n is positive integer.
For example, the light source may be a Cool White Fluorescent (CWF) light source, an a light source, a D50 light source, a U30 light source, a TL84 light source, an H light source, or the like.
Thirdly, calculating the response convolution spectrum function of each channel
Figure BDA0002994961700000071
Fourthly, calculating the spectral time domain characteristic of the light leakage of the display screen detected by each channel
Figure BDA0002994961700000072
Fifthly, if the refreshing base frequency of the display screen is set to be f, the frequency multiplication is set to be mf, and the value of m can be a positive integer, calculating the light leakage of the display screen detected by each channelSpectral frequency domain characteristics
Figure BDA0002994961700000073
Here, spectral frequency domain characteristics
Figure BDA0002994961700000074
And may also be understood as a light leakage characteristic value.
The sixth step is to get the above
Figure BDA0002994961700000075
The light leakage calculation model f (y) is brought in, and the light leakage predicted value f of each channel is calculated i (y i ) (ii) a Wherein, the first and the second end of the pipe are connected with each other,
Figure BDA0002994961700000081
f i (y i )=a i y i n +b i y i n-1 +c i y i n-2 +......+z i y i 0
here, a is as described above i 、b i 、c i 、……、z i Is preset.
Seventhly, acquiring a detection value Register of the ambient light acquired by the ambient light sensor i (y i );
Eighth step, calculating brightness value of each channel environment light i (y i )=Register i (y i )-f i (y i );
Ninth, calculating the illumination value Lux of the environment light of each channel i =dgf×k ij ×Ambient i
Dgf is a device factor of the display screen, which is used to characterize the influence of the hardware of the display screen on the brightness of the OLED; k is a radical of formula ij Coefficients are calculated for the illumination of each channel under different light sources. Here, the illuminance calculation coefficient is set in advance.
Fig. 4 is a schematic implementation flow diagram of a display brightness adjustment method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and referring to fig. 4, the method may include:
s401, when the brightness level of the display screen reaches a preset brightness level, obtaining a plurality of first light leakage characteristic values of the display screen within a preset time and a detection value of ambient light.
It can be understood that the brightness of the OLED may fluctuate near the switching point between the PWM mode and the DC mode, and then the display brightness adjusting apparatus may continuously monitor the brightness level of the display screen and determine whether the current brightness level of the display screen reaches the preset brightness level, that is, determine whether the current brightness level of the display screen reaches the brightness level corresponding to the fluctuation area. If the brightness level of the display screen is determined to reach the preset brightness level, the display brightness adjusting device can calculate a plurality of first light leakage characteristic values (namely y) of the display screen within the preset time length through the first step to the fifth step of the process i ) And obtaining a detection value of the ambient light (i.e., Register) by the seventh step i (y i )). Or, the display screen may determine whether the current brightness level of the display screen reaches a preset brightness level, if so, send an instruction to the display brightness adjustment device to instruct the display brightness adjustment device to predict the illuminance of the ambient light, the display brightness adjustment device responds to the instruction, and a plurality of first light leakage characteristic values (i.e., y) of the display screen are calculated within a preset time period through the first step to the fifth step of the above process i ) And obtaining a detection value of the ambient light (i.e., Register) through the seventh step i (y i ))。
Illustratively, the brightness of the OLED may fluctuate between 400nit and 439 nit.
S402, determining a light leakage predicted value of the display screen according to the plurality of light leakage characteristic values.
It is understood that, in order to avoid the leakage light brightness fluctuation caused by the brightness fluctuation of the OLED, the display brightness adjustment apparatus calculates a plurality of first leakage light characteristic values (i.e., y) through S401 i ) Then, a more stable second light leakage characteristic value can be obtained in the following manner.
In the first mode, the display luminance adjusting apparatus may average the plurality of light leakage characteristic values and determine the average value as the second light leakage characteristic value. Alternatively, the display luminance adjusting apparatus may further remove a maximum value and/or a minimum value of the plurality of first light leakage characteristic values, and determine an average value of the plurality of first light leakage characteristic values after removal as the second light leakage characteristic value. Of course, the display luminance adjusting apparatus may also select a median value of the first leak characteristic values as the second leak characteristic value. The average value or the mean value of the fluctuating light leakage characteristic values is selected as the light leakage predicted value, so that the light leakage brightness fluctuation is ignored, the illumination of the predicted ambient light is not influenced, and stable support is provided for the brightness adjustment of the display screen.
Second, the electronic device may also be placed in a dark room (where the ambient light illumination value is equal to or approximately equal to 0). When the brightness level of the display screen reaches the preset brightness level, the display screen can display different display contents, such as a pure red image, a pure white image, a pure green image and the like, so as to provide different light sources. When the display screen displays different contents and the brightness level is not changed, the display brightness adjusting device can obtain a plurality of groups of light leakage characteristic values through the first step to the fifth step, and obtain a detection value of the ambient light (which can also be understood as a light leakage illumination value of the display screen) when the display screen displays different contents through the seventh step. Then, the display brightness adjusting device can train to obtain a fluctuation curve a (i.e., a second fluctuation curve) of the light leakage characteristic values corresponding to the detection values of different ambient lights according to the plurality of groups of light leakage characteristic values and the detection values of the ambient lights, so as to reflect the fluctuation condition of the brightness of the display screen in different display contents. Because the display screen is placed in the darkroom environment, the light rays collected by the ambient light sensor all come from OLED light leakage, and at the moment, the fluctuation of the display screen light leakage is stable, namely the fluctuation condition of the second fluctuation curve is stable.
Then, the display luminance adjusting apparatus may generate the fluctuation curve B (i.e., the first fluctuation curve) corresponding to the plurality of first leak characteristic values described above after performing S401, and match the fluctuation curve a with the fluctuation curve B to match a fluctuation curve B' (i.e., the third fluctuation curve) that is identical to or close to the fluctuation condition of the fluctuation curve B from among the plurality of fluctuation curves a. Then, the display luminance adjusting apparatus may determine the first light leakage characteristic value corresponding to the fluctuation curve B' as the second light leakage characteristic value. Because the fluctuation condition of the fluctuation curve B 'is stable, the light leakage characteristic value corresponding to the fluctuation curve B' with stable fluctuation is selected to calculate the light leakage predicted value, so that the stable light leakage predicted value can be obtained, and the illumination of the stable environment light can be calculated, so as to provide stable support for the brightness adjustment of the display screen.
Of course, the display brightness adjusting apparatus may also obtain a relatively stable light leakage characteristic value by using other methods, and the embodiment of the disclosure is not particularly limited.
In some possible embodiments, in order to further reduce the fluctuation of the illuminance value of the ambient light caused by the fluctuation, in S402, after the display luminance adjusting apparatus obtains the second leak characteristic value, the second leak characteristic value may be further multiplied by an attenuation coefficient to correct the leak characteristic value.
S403, determining a light leakage predicted value f according to the second light leakage characteristic value i (y i )。
It can be understood that, after the display luminance adjusting apparatus obtains the second light leakage characteristic values through the calculation in S402, the display luminance adjusting apparatus may bring the light leakage characteristic values into the sixth step to calculate the light leakage prediction values.
And S404, determining an illumination value of the ambient light according to the light leakage predicted value and the detection value of the ambient light.
Wherein the illuminance value of the ambient light is used to adjust the brightness of the display screen.
It is understood that, after the leak light prediction value is calculated in S402, the display luminance adjusting apparatus may obtain the luminance value of the ambient light by subtracting the detected value of the ambient light from the leak light prediction value as described in the eighth step. And multiplying the brightness value of the ambient light by a preset illumination calculation coefficient according to the ninth step to obtain an illumination value of the ambient light.
In some possible embodiments, the display brightness adjusting device may transmit the calculated illuminance value of the ambient light to the display screen, so that the display screen may adjust the brightness of the OLED according to the illuminance value of the ambient light, so as to achieve stable brightness adjustment.
The brightness adjustment process of the display screen at the preset brightness level is completed.
In the disclosure, the light leakage characteristic value with stable fluctuation is selected as the light leakage predicted value, so that the fluctuation of the light leakage brightness is kept stable, the illumination of the predicted environment light is not affected, and stable support is provided for brightness adjustment of the display screen.
