detailed description

In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages to be solved by the present invention clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

1 and 2 together, a method for controlling a display panel according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied to an electronic device. The electronic device includes a display panel 100 and a camera 200. The display panel 100 includes a display area 20 opposite to the camera 200. The functional area 10 and the preset area 30 between the functional area 10 and the display area 20. The pixel unit 41 is arranged in the preset area 30. The control method includes:

Step 101: Acquire first information when the camera is in an on state.

Here, the situation that the camera 200 is in the on state includes at least two situations: one is that the camera 200 is turned on and is in the shooting preview state, that is, the camera 200 is already turned on and is used to preview the shooting picture; the other is that the camera 200 is turned on and is in the shooting preview state. It is in the shooting state, that is, the camera 200 has been turned on and is in the state of shooting images. The way of setting the camera 200 in the on state is not limited to this. For example, the camera 200 is turned on and used to record videos, etc., as long as the camera 200 is in the on state.

Step 102: Determine the working mode of the display panel according to the first information.

The working mode of the display panel 100 refers to the display mode of the display panel 100. For example, the display panel 100 is displayed in a specific ratio, for example, the display panel 100 is displayed in a 4:3 or 16:9 ratio; or the display panel 100 is displayed in a full screen. When the display panel 100 displays a full screen, according to the on state of the camera 200, the working mode of the display panel 100 is divided into full-screen display of shooting images or full-screen fill light. For example, when the camera 200 is turned on and is in the shooting preview state, the display panel 100 displays a full screen and is in a working mode of displaying the shooting picture on a full screen; when the camera 200 is turned on and is in a shooting state, the display panel 100 displays a full screen. Display and in the working mode of full-screen fill light. When the display panel 100 is in the full-screen display shooting image, the pixel luminous intensity of the display panel 100 is weak; when the display panel 100 is in the full-screen light supplement state, all the pixels of the display panel 100 are in the luminous state, and the pixel luminous intensity is strong .

Step 103: When the working mode is the preset working mode, turn off at least part of the pixel units.

The preset working mode is used to determine whether it is necessary to turn off at least part of the pixel units 41, that is, the preset working mode is used to determine whether the light emitting condition of the pixels of the display panel 100 will diffuse to the functional area 10 and affect the camera. 200 preset mode for normal operation. When the working mode is the preset working mode, the light emitted by the pixels of the display panel 100 enters the functional area 10 through refraction, reflection, etc., causing light to be channeled, thereby affecting the normal operation of the camera 200.

In this way, in the method of the embodiment of the present invention, through the above steps 101-103, when the camera 200 is in the on state, the first information is obtained, and the working mode of the display panel 100 is determined according to the first information, and the working mode is preset In the working mode, at least some of the pixel units 41 are turned off. The closed part of the pixel unit 41 is located in the preset area 30 and does not affect the normal display of the display area 20. The preset area 30 is adjacent to the functional area 10, which can prevent the pixel units 41 in the preset area 30 from diverting light to the functional area 10 and affecting the normal operation of the camera 200. Therefore, the present invention can prevent the pixel unit 41 in the preset area 30 from affecting the operation of the camera 200 when the display area 20 is normally displayed, that is, it can prevent the occurrence of flashing while ensuring the display effect.

In some optional embodiments, the functional area 10 includes a light-transmitting area 11 and a wiring area 12, the light-transmitting area 11 is arranged corresponding to the camera 200, the wiring area 12 is located on the peripheral side of the light-transmitting area 11, and the wiring area 12 is located in the light-transmitting area. Between the light area 11 and the preset area 30. The light-transmitting area 11 is used for allowing the camera 200 to pass through and taking pictures, and the wiring area 12 is used for wiring wiring.

The arrangement of the display panel 100 is not limited to this. In some optional embodiments, the display panel 100 includes a stacked pixel layer 40 and a polarizer 50, the pixel unit 41 is arranged on the pixel layer 40, and the polarizer 50 has a through The digging area 51 and the digging area 51 are arranged corresponding to the light-transmitting area 11 so that light can pass through the digging area 51 and the light-transmitting area 11.

The display panel 100 further includes a substrate 60 disposed on the side of the pixel layer 40 away from the polarizer 50, an encapsulation layer 70 between the pixel layer 40 and the polarizer 50, and a cover plate 80 on the side of the polarizer 50 away from the pixel layer 40. The polarizer 50 is adhered to each other through the optical glue 81 and the cover plate 80. The substrate 60 is, for example, a rigid substrate 60 or a flexible substrate 60. The encapsulation layer 70 is, for example, an organic thin film encapsulation layer 70 or an inorganic encapsulation layer 70. The cover 80 is, for example, a glass cover 80.

The pixel layer 40 is provided with a transparent component corresponding to the light-transmitting area 11 so that the camera 200 can take pictures through the transparent component. The pixel layer 40 is provided with a wiring circuit corresponding to the wiring area 12, and a light-shielding material, such as ink, is coated on the side of the wiring circuit close to the polarizer 50.

Please refer to FIG. 3 together. There are many ways to set the preset area 30. In some optional embodiments, the preset area 30 is a circular area, and the preset area 30 is included in the direction from the functional area 10 to the display area. The first annular sub-region 31 and the second annular sub-region 32 are continuously distributed. The pixel unit 41 includes a first pixel unit 41 a located in the first annular sub-region 31 and a second pixel unit 41 b located in the second annular sub-region 32.

In these alternative embodiments, the preset area 30 includes a first ring-shaped sub-area 31 and a second ring-shaped sub-area 32. The first pixel unit 41a is arranged in the first ring-shaped sub-area 31, and the second ring-shaped sub-area 32 is The second pixel unit 41b is provided, and the first pixel unit 41a can be turned off according to the working mode of the display panel 100, or the first pixel unit 41a and the second pixel unit 41b can be turned off, which can further reduce the effect of turning off the pixel unit 41 on the display. The impact.

It is understandable that the preset area 30 is a ring area. The ring area can refer to a circular ring area, or it can also be a ring area of other shapes such as a hollowed-out polygon area, as long as the preset area 30 surrounds the functional area. The area on the 10th side is sufficient. When the functional area 10 is set close to the middle of the display panel 100, or when the distance between the functional area 10 and the edge of the display panel 100 is small, or when the distance between the functional area 10 and the edge of the display panel 100 is greater than or equal to the preset area 30 When the functional area 10 extends in the circumferential direction, the preset area 30 is preferably an annular area. When the functional area 10 is set close to the edge of the display panel 100, or when the distance between the functional area 10 and the edge of the display panel 100 is small, or when the distance between the functional area 10 and the edge of the display panel 100 is less than the preset area 30 within 10 weeks of the functional area When extending upward, the preset area 30 is a semicircular ring-shaped area or a drop-shaped area hollowed out in the middle. The setting method of the preset area 30 is not limited to this, as long as the preset area 30 is located between the functional area 10 and the display area 20.

When the pixel unit 41 includes the first pixel unit 41a and the second pixel unit 41b, step S103 includes: when the working mode is the preset working mode, turning off the first pixel unit.

In these alternative embodiments, when the working mode is the preset working mode, it means that the light emission of the pixels of the display panel 100 will affect the normal operation of the camera 200. At this time, the first pixel unit 41a is turned off, that is, the first pixel unit 41a is turned off, that is, the first pixel unit 41a is turned off. The first pixel unit 41a in the first ring-shaped sub-region 31 can prevent the crossover caused by the light emission of the first pixel unit 41a.

Please refer to FIGS. 4 and 5 together. The working mode of the second pixel unit 41b can be set as required. In some optional embodiments, the preset working mode includes a first working mode and a second working mode; 4 is the second pixel unit 41b being turned on when the working mode is the first working mode; FIG. 5 is the second pixel unit 41b being turned off when the working mode is the second working mode.

In these alternative embodiments, the preset working modes include different first working modes and second working modes. The first working mode is used to determine whether to turn on the working mode of the second pixel unit 41b, and the second working mode is It is used to determine whether to turn off the working mode of the second pixel unit 41b. By choosing to turn on or turn off the second pixel unit 41b in different working modes, the distance between the functional area 10 and the display area 20 can be adjusted, so that the anti-channeling effect can be further improved under the premise of ensuring the display effect.

There are many ways to set the first working mode and the second working mode. Preferably, the luminous intensity of the display panel 100 in the first working mode is greater than the luminous intensity of the display panel 100 in the second working mode. When the luminous intensity of the display panel 100 is strong, the display panel 100 is more likely to have crossover. At this time, turning off the second pixel unit 41b can enlarge the area of the non-luminous area on the display panel 100, and increase the functional area 10 and the display. The spacing between the regions 20 further prevents crossover. When the luminous intensity of the display panel 100 is weak, the display panel 100 is less likely to have crossover. At this time, the second pixel unit 41b is turned on to reduce the distance between the functional area 10 and the display area 20, thereby improving the display panel. 100 display effect.

In some optional embodiments, the first working mode is a working mode in which the display panel 100 is in a full-screen display of a filming picture. When the working mode is the first working mode, when the camera 200 is in the shooting preview state, or enters the shooting progress state from the shooting preview state, or enters the shooting preview state from the shooting progress state, the second pixel unit 41b is turned on. In these alternative embodiments, when the display panel 100 is in the full-screen display working mode, the pixels on the 10 side of the functional area also emit light, which may affect the normal operation of the camera 200, so the first pixel unit 41a is turned off. However, when the camera 200 is in the shooting preview state, the display screen does not fill light, so the light intensity is weak. At this time, turning on the second pixel unit 41b can improve the display effect, and will not affect the work of the camera 200.

In other optional embodiments, the second working mode is that the display panel 100 is in a full-screen light-filling mode. When the working mode is the second working mode, when the camera 200 is in the shooting state, the second pixel unit 41b is turned off. When the second working mode is in the full-screen fill light mode and the camera 200 is in the shooting state, the display panel 100 will display in full screen and fill light for the shooting. At this time, the display panel 100 emits strong light, and the second pixel unit 41b is turned off, which can expand The area of the non-light emitting area on the display panel 100, thereby improving the anti-channeling effect.

In step 101, there are multiple ways to obtain the first information. When the camera 200 is turned on, the environment brightness can be obtained, and the first information can be obtained according to the environment brightness; or, when the camera 200 is turned on, The first input of the user is obtained, and the first information is obtained according to the first input. The first information is information used to indicate the working state of the display panel 100, and the working state of the display panel 100 can be determined according to the first information.

Exemplarily, the method of obtaining the first information according to the first input includes: when the first input satisfies the first preset condition, the first information obtained is the first control information; when the first input satisfies the second preset condition In the case, the obtained first information is the second control information. In the case where the first information is the first control information, the display panel 100 responds to the first control information and enters the aforementioned first working mode. In the case where the first information is the second control information, the display panel 100 responds to the second control information and enters the aforementioned second operating mode.

Here, the first preset condition is a condition for judging whether the second pixel unit 41b needs to be turned on. In the case of receiving the first input, if the first input satisfies the first preset condition, that is, the second pixel unit 41b needs to be turned on. The first control information is obtained, and the display panel 100 responds to the first control information, adjusts the working mode to the first working mode, and turns on the second pixel unit 41b. There are many ways to set the first preset condition. For example, the first preset condition is a condition that the user forcibly input requires the display panel 100 to be in a full display of the shooting image.

The second preset condition is a condition for judging whether the second pixel unit 41b needs to be turned off. In the case of receiving the first input, if the first input meets the second preset condition, that is, the second pixel unit 41b needs to be turned off, then With the second control information, the display panel 100 responds to the second control information, adjusts the working mode to the second working mode, and turns off the second pixel unit 41b. There are many ways to set the second preset condition. For example, the second preset condition is a condition that is forcibly input by the user to require the display panel 100 to perform full-screen fill light.

Exemplarily, the specific method of obtaining the first information according to the environmental brightness may include obtaining the first information as the first control information when the environmental brightness is greater than the first threshold and less than or equal to the second threshold; when the environmental brightness is less than or When it is equal to the first threshold, the first information obtained is the second control information. In the case where the first information is the first control information, the display panel 100 responds to the first control information and enters the aforementioned first working mode. In the case where the first information is the second control information, the display panel 100 responds to the second control information and enters the aforementioned second operating mode.
