Further, the timing controller 2310 is connected to an external host 3000, and the host 3000 scales image data input from an external data source according to the resolution of the display panel and supplies the image data to the timing controller 2310 together with a plurality of sync signals.

Duty cycle D1 of PWM1 Compensation factor a Duty cycle D of PWM22
0.1% 1.3 D1*1.3

... ... ...
3% 1.05 D1*1.05
>3% 1 D1*1
As can be known from table 1, when the first duty ratio D1 of the first PWM signal PWM1 is greater than the predetermined value, for example, 3%, the compensation coefficient a is 1.

Further, the compensation coefficient a in table 1 may be debugged according to actual test brightness at a debugging stage of the product through a register, for example, theoretical backlight brightness in a nonlinear range is predicted according to backlight brightness in a linear range (that is, a linear relationship between a duty ratio/current and brightness), a theoretical duty ratio of a pulse width modulation signal required for realizing the theoretical backlight brightness is tested, and a multiple or difference between the theoretical duty ratio and the actual duty ratio is calculated, so as to obtain the compensation coefficient a.
Accordingly, the compensation coefficient a may also be obtained in other manners, which is not limited herein.
In the present invention, the timing controller 2310 can compensate the first duty ratio D1 of the first pulse width modulation signal PWM1 through hardware or software, and the following description is made through a specific embodiment.
Example one
As shown in fig. 3, the timing controller 2310 includes a signal detector 2311, a coefficient register 2312, and a signal modulator 2313.
Here, the signal detector 2311 samples and counts the first pulse width modulation signal PWM1 to detect the first duty ratio D1 of the first pulse width modulation signal PWM 1.
Further, the signal detector 2311 detects a first switching period and a first on time of the externally input first pulse width modulation signal PWM1, and then determines the first duty ratio D1 of the first pulse width modulation signal PWM1 according to the first switching period and the first on time.
Further, the signal detector 2311 detects a rising edge of the first PWM signal PWM1 and starts timing, a time from a first rising edge to a first falling edge is denoted as a first on time T1, a time from the first rising edge to a second rising edge is denoted as a first switching period T1, and then the first duty ratio D1 of the first PWM signal PWM1 is T1/T1.
The coefficient register 2312 is used for storing a compensation coefficient a, and the coefficient register 2312 is connected to the signal detector 2311, receives the first duty ratio D1 of the first pulse width modulation signal PWM1, and compares the first duty ratio D1 of the first pulse width modulation signal PWM1 with a preset duty ratio to output a different compensation coefficient a according to the comparison result.
In one possible embodiment, when the first duty ratio D1 of the first PWM signal PWM1 is less than or equal to a preset duty ratio, such as 3%, the coefficient register 2312 outputs different compensation coefficients a according to a specific value or range of values of the first duty ratio D1. For example, when the first duty ratio D1 is within 0.1% -0.3%, the coefficient register 2312 outputs the compensation coefficient a of 1.3; when the first duty ratio D1 is within 0.3% -0.5%, the coefficient register 2312 outputs a compensation coefficient a of 1.2; by analogy, when the first duty ratio D1 is within 0.3%, the coefficient register 2312 outputs the compensation coefficient a of 1.05.
When the first duty ratio D1 of the first pulse width modulation signal PWM1 is greater than the preset duty ratio, such as 3%, the coefficient register 2312 outputs the compensation coefficient a of 1, that is, when the first duty ratio D1 of the first pulse width modulation signal PWM1 is greater than the preset duty ratio, such as 3%, the duty ratio of the first pulse width modulation signal PWM1 at this time is not required to be adjusted.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned values are only exemplary, and the value of the compensation coefficient a stored and output by the coefficient register 2312 may be changed according to specific situations in practical design.
The signal modulator 2313 is respectively connected to the coefficient register 2312 and the signal detector 2311 to respectively receive the first duty ratio D1 and the compensation coefficient a, compensate the first duty ratio D1 according to the compensation coefficient a to generate a second duty ratio D2, and generate a second pulse width modulation signal PWM2 according to the second duty ratio D2.
Preferably, the compensation of the first duty ratio D1 according to the compensation coefficient a to generate the second duty ratio D2 is to multiply the first duty ratio D1 of the first pulse width modulation signal PWM1 by the compensation coefficient, and the product is used as the second duty ratio D2. The complexity of data processing during compensation is optimized, and the compensation efficiency is improved.
Further, the signal modulator 2313 determines a second switching period T2 and a second on-time T2 according to the second duty ratio D2, and finally generates the second pulse-width modulation signal PWM2 according to the second switching period T2 and the second on-time T2.
Preferably, the timing controller 2310 further includes a signal comparator 2314, and the signal comparator 2314 is connected between the signal detector 2311 and the coefficient register 2312, and is configured to compare the first duty ratio D1 of the first pulse width modulation signal PWM1 with a preset value, and output one of the first control signal and the second control signal to the coefficient register 2312 according to the comparison result. Before the first duty ratio of the first pulse width modulation signal is identified, the first duty ratio is compared with a preset value, and only the first pulse width modulation signal with the first duty ratio smaller than or equal to the preset value is identified, so that the compensation speed is improved, and the power consumption is reduced to a certain extent.
Further, when the first duty ratio is less than or equal to the preset value, a first control signal is output, and the first control signal controls the coefficient register 2312 to recognize the first duty ratio D1 and output a different compensation coefficient a according to the first duty ratio. And when the first duty ratio D1 is greater than the preset value, outputting a second control signal which controls the coefficient register to directly output the compensation coefficient a with a fixed value.
It should be noted that the structure of the timing controller 2310 is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and accordingly, those skilled in the art should be able to contact other structures having the same or similar principles as the above structure without creative efforts, and the present invention is also within the scope of the present invention.

In this embodiment, the compensation of the first pwm signal is performed by the encoding program, so that unnecessary circuit design is avoided and design cost is saved.
In summary, by performing compensation of different values on different duty ratios of the first pulse width modulation signal PWM1 smaller than the preset duty ratio, the dimming linearity of the display panel at the time of low PWM signal duty ratio can be improved in a balanced manner, and the image display quality of the display panel can be enhanced.
