Definitions

  • the present invention is related to a method, a computer program code, and an apparatus for reducing burn-in effects in a display.
  • the invention is further related to a display and an image generator, which make use of such a method or apparatus.
  • OLED Organic Light Emitting Diode
  • OLED displays The main drawback of OLED displays is the relatively quick degradation of the light output as a function of the operation time. This leads to an effect called image burn-in. Assuming some of the display pixels are driven such that they produce a bright image, the aging effect will start to degrade their light output. The longer the pixels are kept in operation, the more their light output will degrade. Because of this, if large parts of the display's surface are turned into a bright state at a later time, e.g. to show a white image, the pixels that already operated for an extended time will appear darker then the surrounding pixels. They will thus be noticeable to the end user as a permanent darker pattern correlated with the previously shown images.
  • US 2017/0069266 A1 discloses a method for compensating luminance degradation of an OLED display.
  • the capacitance of the pixel is determined.
  • the determined capacitance of the pixel is then correlated to a current correction factor for the pixel.
  • the current correction factor serves as a basis for compensating a pixel drive current, which is used for driving the pixel.
  • Empirical analyses show that after an initial period of aging lasting only several hours, in which the degradation follows a non-linear pattern, for the rest of the lifetime of the display, for a constant pixel drive current, the degradation basically shows a linear behavior. Therefore, the maximum light output of a given pixel can be estimated based on its on-time. This offers the possibility to mask the non-uniform degradation of the pixels by logging the on-time of each pixel and adjusting the image that is to be displayed accordingly. For example, parts of the image that are to be seen on the aged pixels can be driven with a higher current in such a way that the resulting brightness matches those parts of the image that are not affected by burn-in.
  • Another possibility is to dim those parts of the image that are to be shown on the non-aged pixels by the same amount as that induced by the aging process for those parts of the image that are to be shown on the aged pixels. Finally, there is also the possibility to use a combination of both approaches.
  • Pixel on-time logging may be performed digitally, in a circuit separated from the display, e.g. with the aid of an image processor and a storage device. Alternatively, it may be performed in-cell, directly on the display, e.g. based on the effects on the active pixel's electrical properties caused by aging.
  • the display lifetime is still limited, as the decrease in brightness of the entire display is governed by the few pixels that are turned on for extended periods of time.
  • the design target for the non-aged display must be higher than the required brightness. For instance, if the display has to provide a maximum brightness of 1000 cd/m 2 in normal operation, the design target of the display needs to be set to a higher value, such as 1500 cd/m 2 . Since the display brightness is directly correlated with the pixel driving current, the pixel cells must be designed to support a higher operating current. At the beginning of the operational life, all pixels are driven with the current for achieving the target 1000 cd/m 2 .
  • the achievable lifetime of the display may be properly estimated based on the linear degradation curve, e.g. 50000 hours as in the previous example.
  • this approach has the drawback that there will be a continuous degradation of the maximum brightness. Assuming the same condition for the required brightness of 1000 cd/m 2 , since this figure must be achieved at least at the end of life of the display, the initial brightness of the non-aged display must still be set to higher value, such as 1500 cd/m 2 .
  • the third technique achieves a compromise between the design target brightness and the achievable lifetime.
  • the design target may be relaxed to 1200 cd/m 2 with an achievable lifetime of 25000 to 35000 hours.
  • a method for reducing burn-in effects in a display comprises:
  • a computer program code comprises instructions, which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to reduce burn-in effects in a display by performing the steps of:
  • the term computer has to be understood broadly. In particular, it also includes electronic control units and other processor-based data processing devices.
  • the computer program code can, for example, be made available for electronic retrieval or stored on a computer-readable storage medium.
  • an apparatus for reducing burn-in effects in a display comprises:
  • parts of the display area are used to display the same symbols for extended periods of time.
  • Examples of such symbols are the scales and rings of a speedometer or an odometer.
  • the present solution addresses this issue by reducing the average on-time operation of the pixels of the display. This is achieved by slightly changing the position of the displayed image over the display area. With this approach, the average on-time of the pixels can easily be reduced by a factor of around four. This allows to achieve a lifetime extension for the display by a factor of around two to four.
  • the described technique is capable of achieving a less noticeable image burn-in. This results from the reduction of the average on-time, which, reduces the degradation, and from the effect of image shifting.
  • Image shifting is equivalent to a motion blurring effect, which attenuates the sharp transitions that would otherwise be easily discernible by the end user.
  • preprocessing the image comprises shifting a display position of the image in the display area.
  • the image itself does not need to be modified, which reduces the required processing capabilities for implementing the solution. Instead, the whole image is moved within the display area. This approach is particularly well-suited for implementation in the display.
  • preprocessing the image comprises resampling the image over a displaced grid. Also this solution allows to shift the target position around the nominal position. Though the position of the image in the display area does not change, the position of the image content does. This approach is particularly well-suited for implementation in an image generator, i.e. there is no need to modify the display. A further advantage is that image shifts at a fractional pixel level can be achieved.
  • the target position varies over time at a rate of less than 0,2 pixels per minute.
  • a rate in this range for instance one pixel per six to ten minutes, is practically unnoticeable to the user.
  • the display is an OLED-display or a MicroLED-display (LED: Light Emitting Diode).
  • LED Light Emitting Diode
  • the described solution is particularly advantageous for OLED-displays, also other display technologies are affected by burn-in effects and may hence favorably make use of the present invention.
  • MicroLED-displays also the designations MLED, mLED, and ⁇ LED used.
  • a difference between the target position and the nominal position is smaller than 2 mm.
  • the larger the maximum difference is chosen the more the average on-time will be reduced.
  • larger shifts may be visible to the user.
  • image displacements of up to 2 mm can be realized without being noticeable to the end user. For example, it is useful to avoid hard visual reference points and to use black margins on the border of the image to be displayed to conceal the image displacements.
  • the display is comprised in a head-up display.
  • the image displacement between the nominal position and the target position may be compensated for by adjusting one or more optical components of the head-up display.
  • the user typically has the possibility to adjust the position of the image in the field of view by mechanical means, e.g. by adjusting the position of one or several mirrors or other optical elements. This possibility may be exploited for the proposed technique for decreasing the average on-time of the pixels. Due to the adjustability the image may be shifted on the display by larger amounts. The image shifts are then compensated before they become noticeable by repositioning the optical elements in the optical path. In this way, for the end user the image remains basically in the same position in the field of view.
  • a display comprises an apparatus according to the invention or is configured to perform a method according to the invention.
  • the apparatus does not need to modify the image itself. Instead, the apparatus moves the whole image within the display area.
  • an image generator comprises an apparatus according to the invention or is configured to perform a method according to the invention.
  • the position of the image in the display area does not change, but the position of the image content or part of the image content does.
  • the preprocessed image is then provided to a display, which does not need to be modified.
  • a display or an image generator according to the invention is used in a vehicle for providing information to a user of the vehicle.

  • programmable logic devices e.g. FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Array) or CPLDs (Complex Programmable Logic Devices)
  • the functions may be provided by a single dedicated processor, by a single shared processor, or by a plurality of individual processors, some of which may be shared.

  • FIG. 3 A block diagram of a second embodiment of an apparatus 30 for reducing burn-in effects in a display is illustrated in Fig. 3 .

  • Fig. 4 schematically illustrates an image 50 to be displayed in a display area 41 of a display 40.
  • the image 50 is to be displayed at a nominal position 52 in the display area 41.
  • the actual position of the image 50 is moved over the display area 41 at a very slow pace, for instance one pixel per six to ten minutes.
  • the image 50 is thus not displayed at the nominal position 52, but at a target position 51 that varies over time around the nominal position52. In this way, the average on-time operation of the pixels of the display 40 is reduced.
  • the system can easily accommodate image displacements of 1 to 2 mm without being noticeable to the end user. For example, it is useful to avoid hard visual reference points and to use black margins to conceal the displacement of the image 50.
  • a typical pixel pitch is around 100 ⁇ m.
  • an image displacement of 2 mm corresponds to a displacement of 20 pixels in each direction. This effectively spreads the on-time of a given pixel over a square covering in total 400 pixels. As a result, the average on-time of a given pixel is reduced by a factor of 400.
  • Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 compare the cumulative on-time for a prior art display versus that obtained by applying the proposed algorithm for image shifting in an area of 20 by 20 pixels.
  • Fig. 5 depicts the situation of the prior art display 40
  • Fig. 6 depicts the situation of a display 40 using the present solution.
  • a typical design of a human-machine interface has no or very few pixels that are isolated, i.e. surrounded by large dark areas. In general, around 20 to 100 active pixels are found inside a given square of 20 by 20 pixels. Based on these numbers, the average on-time of the pixels inside the given square is reduced by a factor of 20 to 4, i.e. 400/20 up to 400/100,when the proposed technique is applied.
  • the proposed shifting of the image can be performed directly in the display, e.g. by changing the actual position of the received image from time to time.
  • Another possibility is to change the image directly at the generator side by periodically resampling the image over a grid that is slightly displaced. This allows to generate image shifts at a fractional pixel level.
  • the pace of the change can be in the order of one pixel per several minutes. Given the constant distractions in the visual field of the user, it is expected that such slow changes will not be noticeable. However, by shifting the image at fractional pixel levels, but at shorter intervals, the transition between different image positions appears smother. This decreases the risk that the shift is noticed by the user even further.
  • Fig. 7 depicts an example of an image degradation of a prior art display 40 caused by burn-in effects.
  • Fig. 8 depicts an example of the image degradation of a display 40 using the present solution.
  • the proposed technique can decrease the amount of image degradation.
  • the sharp transitions visible in Fig. 7 which can be more easily noticed by the user, are reduced.
