On the other hand, if the ambient color temperature is higher than the system color temperature of thedisplay 130, then seen through thedisplay 130 by the user, the color of the actual object OR seen by the user is bluer than the color of the virtual object OV. - Referring to
FIG. 3B , based on the situation above, theprocessor 120 acquires the ambient light information of the ambient ENV using thelight sensing element 110. Acquiring the ambient light information of the ambient ENV is equivalent to acquiring the relevant information regarding the color temperature of the ambient ENV. Therefore, theprocessor 120 is able to adjust the output color temperature of thedisplay 130 toward the ambient color temperature according to the ambient light information. More specifically, theprocessor 120 adjusts the output of thedisplay 130 to allow the color of the adjusted virtual object OV′ to be closer to the color of the actual object OR. - In some embodiments, when the
processor 120 adjusts the output color temperature of thedisplay 130 toward the ambient color temperature according to the ambient light information, adjusting the image content outputted by thedisplay 130 is included. In detail, theprocessor 120 may first analyze the ambient light information to determine the adjustment direction before adjusting the red pixel data, the green pixel data, and the blue pixel data of the image content outputted to thedisplay 130. TakingFIG. 3A as an example, assuming that the virtual object OV to be displayed initially is white, theprocessor 120, for example, adjusts the color of the virtual object OV toward yellow before outputting the virtual object OV′ after the color adjustment (for example, light yellow) through thedisplay 130. - In some embodiments, when the
processor 120 adjusts the output color temperature of thedisplay 130 toward the ambient color temperature according to the ambient light information, adjusting the backlight of thedisplay 130 is included. In detail, thedisplay 130 adopts, for example, an RGB backlight adopting RGB Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) includes a plurality of backlight RGB LEDs. Theprocessor 120 analyzes the ambient light information to calculate an RGB gain. Then, thedisplay 130 can adjust the RGB backlight according to the RGB gain, so as to adjust the output color temperature. For example, adjusting the RGB backlight according to the RGB gain can be adjusting at least one of the duty, the forward voltage, and the forward current of the backlight RGB LEDs, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. Persons with conventional knowledge in the art may implement according to relevant knowledge regarding the display backlight. - Two embodiments will be exemplified below to illustrate the display method that adjust the display backlight. It must be noted that these embodiments are only for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the disclosure.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart of a display method according to an embodiment of the disclosure. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , firstly, alight sensing element 110 acquires ambient light information (Step S410). Then, theprocessor 120 analyzes the ambient light information to acquire an ambient white patch RGB response (Step S420). - In the embodiment, the ambient light information includes, for example, an RGB image. An
image signal processor 121 finds a white patch or a white spot from the RGB image and uses the RGB response of the white patch or the white spot as the ambient white patch RGB response. It is worth mentioning that the disclosure does not limit the specific method of finding the white patch or the white spot from the RGB image. Persons with conventional knowledge in the art may implement according to their knowledge and needs. In the embodiment, the ambient white patch RGB response found by theimage signal processor 121 is, for example, “R=1.0, G=0.5, B=1.0”. It must be noted that the RGB response here is the RGB ratio acquired after normalized by the R value. - After acquiring the ambient white patch RGB response, the
processor 120 determines whether the output color temperature of thedisplay 130 needs to be adjusted according to the ambient white patch RGB response (Step S430). - In the embodiment, a
central processor 123 determines whether the difference between the ambient color temperature and the system color temperature of thedisplay 130 is greater than a preset threshold value according to the ambient white patch RGB response. If yes, the output color temperature of thedisplay 130 needs to be compensated and the process proceeds to Step S440; if not, the output color temperature of thedisplay 130 does not need to be compensated currently and the process returns to Step S410. For example, amemory 140 records a color temperature comparison table between the RGB response and the color temperature. Thecentral processor 123 may look up the color temperature comparison table according to the ambient white patch RGB response to acquire the ambient color temperature and then compares the acquired ambient color temperature with the system color temperature of thedisplay 130. When the difference between the ambient color temperature and the system color temperature is greater than the preset threshold value, the process proceeds to Step S440. - In some embodiments, when the ambient light information acquired by the
light sensing element 110 also includes a color temperature value, thecentral processor 123 may also directly use the color temperature value acquired by thelight sensing element 110 as the ambient color temperature to compare with the system color temperature of thedisplay 130. Also, when the difference between the ambient color temperature and the system color temperature is greater than the preset threshold value, the process proceeds to Step S440. - Subsequently, the
processor 120 calculates the RGB gain (Step S440) according to the ambient white patch RGB response and an output white patch RGB response of thedisplay 130. - In the embodiment, the
central processor 123 calculates the RGB gain according to the following equation: -
T=G·C+Offset, - Where T is the target RGB response, G is the matrix formed by the RGB gain, C is the current RGB response, and Offset is, for example, the RGB response fine adjustment set according to the characteristics of hardware such as the LED during manufacturing of the
display 130. - In the embodiment, the target RGB response is the ambient white patch RGB response, the current RGB response is the output white patch RGB response of the display 130 (for example, the RGB response of the corrected white patch, “R=1.0, G=1.5, B=1.1” during manufacturing), and the RGB response fine adjustment is, for example, 0. Therefore, according to the equation:
-
- it can be known that in the RGB gain, an R gain, R_gain, is 1.0, a G gain, G_gain, is 0.333, and a B gain, B_gain, is 0.877.
- Finally, the
display 130 adjusts the RGB backlight of thedisplay 130 according to the RGB gain to adjust the output color temperature thereof (Step S450). - In the embodiment, the
central processor 123, for example, outputs the RGB gain to thedisplay 130 and thedisplay 130 controls least one of the duty, the forward voltage, and the forward current of the backlight RGB LED according to the RGB gain. For example, thedisplay 130 respectively multiplies the forward currents of the red, green, and blue tri-color LED in the backlight RGB LED by the R gain (for example, 1.0), the G gain (for example, 0.333), and the B gain (for example, 0.877) according to the RGB gain to adjust the color temperature of the RGB backlight. -
FIG. 5 is a flow chart of a display method according to an embodiment of the disclosure. - Referring to
FIG. 5 , first, thelight sensing element 110 acquires ambient light information (Step S510). Then, theprocessor 120 analyzes the ambient light information to acquire an ambient color temperature (Step S520). - In the embodiment, the ambient light information includes, for example, a color temperature value. The
processor 120, for example, may directly use the color temperature value in the ambient light information as the ambient color temperature. In some embodiments, the ambient light information may also be an RGB image. Animage signal processor 121 finds a white patch or a white spot from the RGB image and uses the RGB response of the white patch or the white spot as the ambient white patch RGB response. Then, acentral processor 123 determines the ambient color temperature according to the ambient white patch RGB response and the color temperature comparison table. - Subsequently, the
processor 120 determines whether the output color temperature of thedisplay 130 needs to be adjusted according to the ambient color temperature (Step S530). - In the embodiment, the
central processor 123 determines whether the difference between the ambient color temperature and the system color temperature of thedisplay 130 is greater than a preset threshold value. If yes, the output color temperature of thedisplay 130 needs to be compensated and the process proceeds to Step S540; if not, the output color temperature of thedisplay 130 does not need to be compensated and the process returns to Step S510. - Subsequently, the
processor 120 determines the RGB gain according to the ambient color temperature and the gain comparison table pre-recorded in a memory 140 (Step S540). - In the embodiment, the gain comparison table records the corresponding relationship between a plurality of color temperatures and a plurality of RGB gains, as shown in Table 1 below:
-
TABLE I Ambient color temperature (K) R gain G gain B gain 3000 1.000 0.333 0.877 3500 1.000 0.433 0.895 4000 1.000 0.533 0.912 4500 1.000 0.633 0.930 5000 1.000 0.733 0.947 5500 1.000 0.833 0.965 6000 1.000 0.933 0.982 6500 1.000 1.000 1.000 7000 1.000 1.033 1.018 - In the embodiment, the
central processor 123 directly looks up the gain comparison table according to the ambient color temperature to determine the RGB gain. For example, if the ambient color temperature is 3000K, thecentral processor 123 may determine that in the RGB gain, an R gain, R_gain, is 1.0, a G gain, G_gain, is 0.333, and a B gain, B_gain, is 0.877. In some embodiments, when looking up the gain comparison table, thecentral processor 123 may also determine the RGB gain with simple calculations such as interpolation, but the disclosure is not limited thereto. - Finally, the
display 130 adjusts the RGB backlight of thedisplay 130 according to the RGB gain to adjust the output color temperature thereof (Step S550). - In the embodiment, the
central processor 123, for example, outputs the RGB gain to thedisplay 130. Thedisplay 130 controls at least one of the duty, the forward voltage, and the forward current of the backlight RGB LEDs according to the RGB gain. For example, thedisplay 130 respectively multiplies the forward currents of the red, green, and blue tri-color LED in the backlight RGB LED by the R gain (for example, 1.0), the G gain (for example, 0.333), and the B gain (for example, 0.877) according to the RGB gain to adjust the color temperature of the RGB backlight. - In summary of the above, the display device and the display method according to the embodiment of the disclosure make use of the light sensing element to detect the ambient light information and then adjust the output color temperature of the display toward the ambient color temperature according to the ambient light information. As such, it is possible to compensate for the color temperature of the image displayed by the display, so as to display realistic images under ambient of various ambient temperatures.
- Although the disclosure has been disclosed in the above embodiments, the embodiments are not intended to limit the disclosure. It will be apparent to persons skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the disclosed embodiments without departing from the scope or spirit of the disclosure. In view of the foregoing, it is intended that the disclosure covers modifications and variations provided that they fall within the scope of the following claims and their equivalents.
