相关技术中,对于具有局部调光功能的低对比度的显示装置,在显示画面的局部区域点亮,其它区域熄灭的情况下,由于点亮区域的部分光线能够透光熄灭区域漏出,从而出现“光晕”现象,该光晕围绕点亮区域,“光晕”现象极大的降低了显示装置的显示效果。需要说明的是,局部调光功能通过对背光源进行分区控制实现。
对于具有局部调光功能的显示装置,该显示装置包括背光模组和显示面板,若背光模组的背光源分为五个区域,这五个区域可以分别控制;当背光源中的第三个区域(Area3)点亮,其它区域熄灭时,在理想情况下,参考图1a所示,在第三个区域(Area3)对应的显示面板的位置测得的光强度为1,其它区域测得的光强度为0;然而,在实际应用中,由于显示面板存在漏光的情况,参考图1b所示,第三个区域(Area3)对应的显示面板的位置的光强度被削弱,与第三个区域(Area3)相邻的其它区域对应的显示面板的位置处呈现出一定的亮度,在显示装置的平均亮度较低的情况下,呈现出以第三个区域(Area3)为中心,向四周逐渐扩散的光晕现象,降低了显示效果。其中,图1a和图1b中的横坐标为背光源对应的不同区域,纵坐标为光强度(Intensity)。
需要说明的是,显示装置的平均亮度较低的情况包括:显示画面中局部区域为白画面,大部分区域为黑画面的情况,此时,“光晕”现象较为明显。
目前,相关技术中存在两种减轻“光晕”现象的方法:第一、通过改善显示装置的设计,提高显示装置的对比度,从而降低处于熄灭状态的区域的漏光,以达到减轻“光晕”现象的效果。第二、通过缩小背光源中各分区的尺寸,增大背光源的分区数量,通过分区控制背光的方式,降低白画面对应的背光分区与相邻的黑画面对应的背光分区的亮度差 异,从而减轻“光晕”现象。然而,相关技术中的改善方法技术难度较大,且成本较高。
基于此,本申请的实施例提供了一种亮度调节方法,应用于显示装置,显示装置包括背光模组,参考图2所示,该调节方法包括:
S901、将背光模组的背光源分为多个灯区;
示例性的,可以将背光源分为9个灯区、16个灯区或25个灯区。对于分区之后的每一个灯区,可以单独控制其状态,例如:单独控制一个灯区处于点亮状态或者熄灭状态;也可以单独控制其亮度,例如单独控制一个灯区,使其亮度增大或减小。
图3a示出了将背光模组的背光源分为16个灯区的示意图,图3a中的每一个方块代表一个灯区。
这里对于背光模组的种类不做限定。在一些实施例中,背光模组可以是LED(Light Emitting Diode)背光模组,或者,可以是Mini LED(Mini Light Emitting Diode)背光模组。
示例性的,每个灯区可以包括至少一个LED灯;或者,每个灯区可以包括至少一个Mini LED灯。
在一些实施例中,Mini LED背光模组可以为AM Mini LED(Active Matrix Mini Light Emitting Diode,主动驱动微发光二极管)背光模组;或者,Mini LED背光模组可以为PM Mini LED(Passive Matrix Mini Light Emitting Diode,被动驱动发光二极管)背光模组。
S902、获取每个灯区对应的像素区域中的像素数量和各像素的像素灰阶值;
图3b示出了图3a中的其中一个灯区对应的像素区域中的像素排布示意图。示例性的,一个灯区对应的像素区域中包括如图3b所示的5*5排列的像素。
在实际应用中,通过时序控制器(TCON)获取每个灯区对应的显示面板的像素区域中的像素数量和各像素的像素灰阶值。
S903、根据像素数量和各像素灰阶值确定灯区的亮度参数;
在背光模组中,每一个灯区对应一个亮度参数,可以理解,各灯区的调节参数由各灯区对应的像素数量和像素灰阶值决定。
本申请的实施例在对背光的亮度进行调节时,根据不同区域光晕现象的严重程度,对各灯区分别进行调节。
示例性的,各灯区的亮度参数可以相同;或者,各灯区的亮度参数可以不同。
S904、根据亮度参数,对灯区的亮度进行调节。
在实际应用中,对各灯区进行亮度调节的过程由亮度参数决定。具体的,对于初始状态处于熄灭状态的灯区,进行亮度调节之后,该灯区仍旧处于熄灭状态;对于初始状态处于点亮状态的灯区,该灯区调节之后的亮度为亮度参数对应的亮度。
需要说明的是,本申请的实施例提供的亮度调节方法,虽然在亮度调节过程中涉及获取灯区对应的像素区域中的像素数量和像素灰阶值,但是最终仍旧是针对背光源中的各灯区进行亮度调节,在对各灯区的亮度进行调节时,以Mini LED背光模组为例,具体是通过调节各Mini LED发光芯片对应的阳极电压来调节亮度。
在本申请的实施例提供的调节方法中,通过获取每个灯区对应的像素区域中的像素数量和像素灰阶值,根据像素数量和像素灰阶值确定出亮度参数,根据亮度参数对灯区进行亮度调节,由于该亮度调节过程中,每一个灯区对应一个亮度参数,从而可以根据不同区域光晕现象的严重程度,对各灯区分别进行调节,在减轻光晕现象的同时,进行亮度调节的针对性更强,亮度调节的效果更好。
在本申请的一些实施例中,步骤S904、根据亮度参数,对灯区的亮度进行调节包括:
S9041、对于点亮状态的灯区,更新其亮度值;更新后的亮度值等于亮度参数;
在实际应用中,亮度参数可以是代表一个灯区亮度的灰阶值,根据该灰阶值,对该灯区中发光元件的阳极的电压值进行调节,以更新该灯区的亮度。
S9042、对于熄灭状态的灯区,保持熄灭状态。
由于灯区的亮度参数由像素灰阶值确定,对于熄灭状态的灯区,其对应的像素区域中各像素的灰阶值均为零,则亮度参数也为零,则处于熄灭状态的灯区,仍保持熄灭状态。
在本申请的一些实施例中,步骤S903、根据像素数量和各像素灰阶值确定灯区的亮度参数包括:
S9031、根据像素数量和各像素灰阶值,对每个灯区对应的各像素 灰阶值求平均值;
S9032、将每个灯区对应的各像素灰阶值的平均值作为灯区的亮度参数。
在实际应用中,对处于点亮状态(或熄灭状态)的每个灯区,对各灯区对应的像素区域中的像素灰阶值求平均值,将该平均值作为亮度参数,通过将各灯区的亮度调节为亮度参数对应的亮度值,降低了各灯区对应的像素区域中处于黑画面和处于白画面的像素对应的亮度差异,从而减轻了显示画面中的光晕显示,提高显示效果。
下面以图4a所示的包括有4*4个灯区的背光源为例,说明具体如何通过本申请的亮度调节方法改善光晕问题。其中,图4a为背光源的各灯区的示意图,标记E的部分为处于熄灭状态的灯区,标记L的部分为处于点亮状态的灯区。图4b为图4a所示的灯区对应的像素区域,可以看到,图4b所示的像素区域中呈现出明显的“光晕”现象,严重减低显示效果。
需要说明的是,“光晕”现象可以理解为以点亮的四个灯区对应的像素区域为中心区域,围绕中心区域呈现出的光线由亮到暗的光晕,在图4b中以圆圈简单示意。
灯区对应的像素区域是指:显示面板中,在背光模组上的正投影落入灯区内的像素区域。
本申请的亮度调节方法具体说明如下:
将背光模组的背光源分为图4a中所示的多个灯区。
获取每个灯区对应的图4b所示的各像素区域中的像素数量和各像素的像素灰阶值;图4b所示的各像素区域中的像素数量为25个,各像素的灰阶值为A1、A2、A3、A4、…..A25。
根据像素数量和各像素灰阶值,对每个灯区对应的各像素灰阶值求平均值;
将每个灯区对应的各像素灰阶值的平均值作为该灯区的亮度参数;则亮度参数=(A1+A2+A3+A4+…..+A25)/25。
对于点亮状态的灯区,更新其亮度值;更新后的亮度值等于亮度参数;对于熄灭状态的灯区,保持熄灭状态。具体的,根据各自的亮度参数,对图4a所示的处于点亮状态的各灯区的亮度进行调节,得到如图5a所示的背光源的示意图,图5b为图5a的灯区对应的像素区域,根 据图5b可以看到,在灯区亮度调整之后,其对应的像素区域中的光晕问题有明显的减轻。
在一些实施例中,若背光源分为1152个灯区,一个灯区对应的像素数量为3556,该灯区中各像素的像素灰阶值分别为A1、A2、A3、A4、……A3556;则该灯区的亮度参数=(A1+A2+A3+A4+…..+A3556)/3556,再根据每个灯区对应的亮度参数,对其亮度进行调节。
示例性的,若背光源中有一个灯区点亮,且初始亮度(Initial)为100%,该灯区对应的像素区域中的像素的数量为3556个,有200个像素显示白画面,按照上述亮度调节方法,该灯区的亮度参数(Renew)=(100%*200+0+…+0)/3556=5.6%;根据该亮度调节方法,将该点亮状态的灯区的亮度由原来的100%调整为5.6%。图8示意出了该灯区的初始亮度和采用本申请的亮度调节方法调节之后的亮度曲线,其中,该曲线的横坐标为波长,纵坐标为亮度。
在本申请的一些实施例中,显示装置还包括显示面板,显示面板位于背光模组的出光侧;
在步骤S904、根据亮度参数,对灯区的亮度进行调节之后,该方法还包括:
S905、根据处于点亮状态的各灯区,确定显示面板的补偿区;
显示面板的补偿区是指:根据处于点亮状态的各灯区对应的显示画面,确定出画面像素的边缘像素,再根据边缘像素确定出的与处于点亮状态的各灯区对应的除画面像素之外的部分像素。
需要说明的是,画面像素是指正在用于显示画面的像素,也就是说,当显示面板的局部区域显示画面,剩余区域为黑态时,位于正在显示画面的区域中的像素可以称为画面像素。示例性的,图7a示出了背光源分区为4*4的灯区排布,图7b为图7a所示的背光源对应的像素区域,每一个灯区对应的像素区域中包括25个像素,图7b中标记PP的区域为显示画面的区域,该区域中的像素称作画面像素。
画面像素包括边缘像素,其中,边缘像素是黑白交界处位于白色区域(显示画面的区域)边缘的像素;黑白交界是指显示画面的区域与黑态区域的交界。参考图7b所示,画面像素中标记“△、
Figure PCTCN2021121815-appb-000001
和▲”的像素为边缘像素。
可以理解,补偿区为与点亮状态的灯区对应的像素区域中除画面像 素之外的部分其它像素所在的区域。上述其它像素所在的区域在背光模组上的正投影位于点亮状态的灯区内,且其在背光模组上的正投影与画面像素在背光模组上的正投影互不交叠。另外,灯区对应的像素区域是指:显示面板中,在背光模组上的正投影落入灯区内的像素区域。S906、确定补偿区的补偿参数;
一个边缘像素对应的补偿区中包括至少一个补偿参数,在确定补偿参数之前,将补偿区分为至少一个补偿子区,每一个补偿子区对应于一个补偿参数;各补偿子区的补偿参数不同,且各补偿子区的补偿参数沿第一方向逐渐减小,第一方向为画面像素所在的区域指向补偿区的方向。
在补偿区只包括一个补偿子区的情况下,该补偿子区的补偿参数为零灰阶。
在补偿区包括多个补偿子区的情况下,一个补偿子区对应一个亮度补偿层级,一个亮度补偿层级对应一个像素灰阶值,且各亮度补偿层级对应的像素灰阶值均大于或等于零灰阶、且小于该补偿区对应的边缘像素的灰阶值。
其中,边缘像素是指黑白交界处位于白色区域边缘的像素;黑白交界是指显示画面的区域与黑态区域的交界。参考图6b所示,标记PP的区域为显示画面的区域,该区域包括多个画面像素,画面像素中标记“△、
Figure PCTCN2021121815-appb-000002
和▲”为边缘像素。
S907、根据补偿参数对补偿区进行亮度调节。
本申请的实施例提供的亮度调节方法,还能够根据处于点亮状态的灯区,确定出补偿区,补偿区为与点亮状态的灯区对应的像素区域中除画面像素之外的部分其它像素所在的区域;通过对补偿区中的像素进行不同程度的亮度调节,从而能够进一步减轻光晕现象,提高显示装置的显示效果,提高画质。
在本申请的一些实施例中,步骤S905、根据处于点亮状态的各灯区,确定补偿区包括:
S9051、确定处于点亮状态的各灯区对应的显示面板中的显示画面;
示例性的,图6a示出了背光源分区为4*4的灯区排布,图6b为图6a所示的背光源对应的像素区域,每一个灯区对应的像素区域中包括25个像素,图6b中标记PP的区域为显示画面的区域,该区域中的像素称作画面像素。
S9052、根据显示画面中的画面像素确定边缘像素;
其中,边缘像素是黑白交界处位于白色区域边缘的像素;黑白交界是指显示画面的区域与黑态区域的交界。参考图6b所示,画面像素中标记“△、
Figure PCTCN2021121815-appb-000003
和▲”的像素为边缘像素。
S9053、确定画面像素的数量;
这里对于确定画面像素数量的具体方式不做限定。
S9054、根据画面像素的数量确定各边缘像素的补偿区;其中,补偿区为与点亮状态的灯区对应的像素中除画面像素之外的部分其它像素所在的区域。
可以理解,补偿区在背光模组上的正投影位于点亮状态的灯区内,补偿区在背光模组上的正投影与画面像素在背光模组上的正投影互不交叠。
参考图6b所示,由于显示画面位于灯区6、灯区7、灯区10和灯区11对应的像素区域中,则各补偿区也位于灯区6、灯区7、灯区10和灯区11中对应的像素区域中,且补偿区中的像素不包括画面像素。
需要说明的是,每一个边缘像素,对应于一个补偿区,画面像素中所有的边缘像素对应的补偿区共同构成一个缓冲区,该缓冲区中的像素围绕画面像素设置。
另外,在确定补偿区时,还涉及一个动态参数X,每个补偿区中包括的像素数量可以根据画面像素的数量和动态参数X共同确定。
在一些实施例中,动态参数X与不同型号的显示装置的对比度相关,在实际应用中,对比度越高,动态参数X可以越小。
在一些实施例中,该动态参数X与光晕的外扩区域的面积相关,光晕的外扩区域的面积越大,动态参数X可以越大。需要说明的是,以图5b为例,光晕的外扩区域面积为椭圆形的光晕的面积减去处于点亮状态的4个灯区对应的像素区域的面积,光晕的外扩区域实际是一个类似环形的区域。
需要说明的是,在实际应用中,对补偿区进行亮度调节时,实际改变的是补偿区中各像素的像素电极电压。
下面以具体例子来说明如何确定补偿区:
若画面像素的数量为200,设定动态参数X=20%时,每个边缘像素对应的补偿区中包括的像素数量=200*20%=40。
参考图6b所示,画面像素(图6b中标记PP的区域中的像素)的数量为16,设定动态参数X=12.5%时,每个边缘像素对应的补偿区中包括的像素数量=16*12.5%=2,对于图6b中标记“▲”的边缘像素,其补偿区所在区域标记为B。在亮度补偿能级数量为5或6的情况下,由于补偿区B的像素数量小于亮度补偿能级数量,可以直接对补偿区B中的这两个像素进行插黑处理。
在设定动态参数X=18.75%时,每个边缘像素对应的补偿区中包括的像素数量=16*18.75%=3,对于图6b中标记
Figure PCTCN2021121815-appb-000004
的边缘像素,其补偿区所在区域标记为C。在亮度补偿能级数量为5或6的情况下,由于补偿区C的像素数量小于亮度补偿能级数量,可以直接对补偿区C中的这两个像素进行插黑处理。
插黑处理可以理解为将该像素的灰阶调整为L0灰阶。
其它边缘像素的补偿区的确定方式与这个边缘像素类似,所有的边缘像素对应的补偿区共同构成一个缓冲区,该缓冲区中的像素围绕画面像素设置。
需要说明的是,在本申请的实施例中,对于补偿区中的像素排布方式或补偿子区中的像素排布方式不做进一步限定,具体根据实际情况确定。
在本申请的一些实施例中,步骤S906、确定补偿区的补偿参数包括:
S9061、确定补偿区的像素数量;
S9062、在补偿区的像素数量小于亮度补偿层级的数量的情况下,补偿区的补偿参数确定为零灰阶。
示例性的,若补偿区的像素数量为5个,亮度补偿层级的数量为6个,则将补偿区中的各像素的补偿参数均设定为零灰阶(L0);若补偿区的像素数量为4个,亮度补偿层级的数量为5个,则将补偿区中的各像素的补偿参数均设定为零灰阶(L0)。
在进行亮度补偿或者亮度调节时,根据不同的亮度调节幅度将亮度调节过程分为多个亮度补偿层级;不同的亮度补偿层级,亮度调节的程度不同。
亮度补偿能级的数量越多,说明对补偿区中各像素的亮度调节过程越细腻,进行亮度调节之后的显示画面画质越好。在实际应用中,亮度 补偿能级的数量与补偿区包括的像素数量相关,具体可以根据实际情况进行调节,这里不做限定。
另外,亮度补偿能级的数量与画质引擎处理精度相关。
例如:对于SDR(Standard Dynamic Range,普通动态范围)技术的显示装置,画质引擎处理精度为8bits,其画面的灰阶包括2 8=256个层次,即包括L0、L1、L2、L3…...L254和L255,亮度补偿能级的数量最多可以包括256个。
对于HDR(High-Dynamic Range,高动态范围)技术的显示装置,画质引擎处理精度为10bits,其画面的灰阶包括2 10=1024个层次,即包括L0、L1、L2、L3…...L1022和L1023,亮度补偿能级的数量最多可以包括1024个。
需要说明的是,HDR(High-Dynamic Range,高动态范围)技术是相对与SDR(Standard Dynamic Range,普通动态范围)技术而言的,对于SDR技术的显示装置,其显示装置的亮度范围为200-300nits,对比度由于显示模式的不同大概从500:1到4000:1,内部画质引擎处理精度8bits。然而,对于HDR1000技术的显示装置(HDR1000技术为HDR技术的一种类型),其显示装置的亮度要求为:百分之十中央白色画面要求亮度≥1000nits,边角黑态亮度≤0.05nits;内部画质引擎处理精度10bits。
在本申请的一些实施例中,步骤S906、确定补偿区的补偿参数包括:
步骤S9063、确定补偿区的像素数量;
步骤S9064、在补偿区的像素数量大于或者等于亮度补偿层级的数量的情况下,将补偿区划分为多个补偿子区;补偿子区的数量和亮度补偿层级的数量相同;
其中,同一补偿子区中的像素对应同一个亮度补偿层级,同一个亮度补偿层级中的补偿参数相同,且各亮度补偿层级中的补偿参数大于或等于零灰阶、小于边缘像素的像素灰阶。
在本申请的一些实施例中,各补偿子区的补偿参数沿第一方向逐渐减小,第一方向为画面像素所在的区域指向补偿区的方向。
示例性的,可以将补偿区分为3个、4个、5个、6个或更多补偿子区,补偿子区的数量和亮度补偿层级的数量相同。
可以理解,每个补偿区划分的补偿子区的数量越多,对亮度的调节过程越细腻,进行亮度调节之后像素区域中显示的画面的画质越好。
示例性的,对于HDR技术的显示装置,由于其内部画质引擎处理精度10bits,其画面的灰阶包括210=1024个层次,即包括L0、L1、L2、L3…...L1022和L1023灰阶,亮度补偿能级的数量最多可以包括1024个,表1中提供一种亮度补偿层级数量为6的补偿参数表。
表1:第一种亮度补偿层级的补偿参数表
Figure PCTCN2021121815-appb-000005
在一个边缘像素对应的补偿区的像素数量为27个的情况下,由于亮度补偿层级数量为6,将补偿区划分为6个补偿子区,27÷6=4(余3),则:
第一补偿子区包括4个像素,对应的亮度补偿能级为5,对应的补偿参数为L900;
第二补偿子区包括4个像素,对应的亮度补偿能级为4,对应的补偿参数为L700;
第三补偿子区包括4个像素,对应的亮度补偿能级为3,对应的补偿参数为L500;
第四补偿子区包括4个像素,对应的亮度补偿能级为2,对应的补偿参数为L300;
第五补偿子区包括4个像素,对应的亮度补偿能级为1,对应的补偿参数为L100;
第六补偿子区包括4+3(余数)个像素,对应的亮度补偿能级为0,对应的补偿参数为L0。
需要说明的是,最低亮度补偿能级(Rank 0)对应的灰阶为L0灰阶,最高亮度补偿能级(Rank 5)对应的灰阶小于边缘像素的像素灰阶,其它亮度补偿能级对应的灰阶位于这两个灰阶之间,可以根据实际情况 进行调节。
示例性的,对于SDR技术的显示装置,由于其内部画质引擎处理精度8bits,其画面的灰阶包括28=256个层次,即包括L0、L1、L2、L3…...L254和L255灰阶,亮度补偿能级的数量最多可以包括256个,表2中提供一种亮度补偿层级数量为5的补偿参数表。
表2:第二种亮度补偿层级中的补偿参数表
Figure PCTCN2021121815-appb-000006
在一个边缘像素对应的补偿区的像素数量为27个的情况下,将补偿区划分为5个补偿子区,27÷5=5(余2),则:
第一补偿子区包括5个像素,对应的亮度补偿能级为4,对应的补偿参数为L200;
第二补偿子区包括3个像素,对应的亮度补偿能级为3,对应的补偿参数为L150;
第三补偿子区包括5个像素,对应的亮度补偿能级为2,对应的补偿参数为L100;
第四补偿子区包括5个像素,对应的亮度补偿能级为1,对应的补偿参数为L50;
第五补偿子区包括5+2(余数)个像素,对应的亮度补偿能级为0,对应的补偿参数为L0。
需要说明的是,最低亮度补偿能级(Rank 0)对应的灰阶为L0灰阶,最高亮度补偿能级(Rank 4)对应的灰阶小于边缘像素的像素灰阶,其它亮度补偿能级对应的灰阶位于这两个灰阶之间,可以根据实际情况进行调节。
另外,需要强调说明的是,在补偿区的像素数量小于亮度补偿层级的数量的情况下,补偿区的补偿参数确定为零灰阶,也即此时,对补偿区的所有像素进行插黑处理。在补偿区的像素数量大于或者等于亮度补偿层级的数量的情况下,对多个补偿子区中,对亮度补偿能级为0对应 的补偿子区中的所有像素进行插黑处理(L0灰阶),且随着亮度补偿能级逐渐减小(灰阶值减小),对应的补偿子区距离画面像素所在区域的距离越远;对亮度补偿能级最大的补偿子区中的所有像素,其补偿参数对应的灰阶值小于边缘像素的灰阶值。
在实际应用中,由于HDR显示装置对亮度及画质的要求更高,通常在对HDR显示装置中的背光源进行亮度调节时,可以将每个补偿区划分为更多数量的补偿子区,从而可以针对每个补偿子区的亮度分别进行调节,以满足HDR显示装置更高的画质要求。
示例性的,参考图6b所示,在补偿区的像素数量大于或者等于亮度补偿层级的数量的情况下,各补偿子区对应的亮度补偿能级沿图6b所示的箭头方向逐渐减小(灰阶值减小)。
在实际应用中,每一个边缘像素对应的补偿区中包括至少一个补偿子区,每个补偿子区包括至少一个像素,各补偿子区中的像素的具体排布方式可以结合实际补偿区包括的像素数量情况和光晕的严重情况而定,这里不做限定。
本申请的实施例提供的亮度调节方法,能够根据处于点亮状态的灯区,确定出补偿区,在补偿区的像素数量小于亮度补偿能级的数量的情况下,直接对补偿区的所有像素进行插黑处理,在补偿区的像素数量大于或等于亮度补偿能级的数量的情况下,将补偿区分为多个补偿子区,并分别对各补偿子区的像素进行不同程度的亮度调节,从而能够进一步减轻光晕现象,提高显示装置的显示效果,提高画质。
