DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to make objects, technical details and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiments will be described in a clearly and fully understandable way in connection with the drawings related to the embodiments of the present disclosure. Apparently, the described embodiments are just a part but not all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the described embodiments herein, those skilled in the art can obtain other embodiment(s), without any inventive work, which should be within the scope of the present disclosure.

Unless otherwise defined, all the technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. The terms “first,” “second,” etc., which are used in the description and the claims of the present application for invention, are not intended to indicate any sequence, amount or importance, but distinguish various components. Similarly, the terms “one” or “the” do not indicate a quantity limit, but rather indicate the existence of at least one. The terms “comprise,” “comprising,” “include,” “including,” etc., are intended to specify that the elements or the objects stated before these terms encompass the elements or the objects and equivalents thereof listed after these terms, but do not preclude the other elements or objects. The phrases “connect”, “connected”, etc., are not intended to define a physical connection or mechanical connection, but may include an electrical connection, directly or indirectly. “On,” “under,” “right,” “left” and the like are only used to indicate relative position relationship, and when the position of the object which is described is changed, the relative position relationship may be changed accordingly.

Sensitivity of the human eye to an external light source is not linearly related to input light intensity. For example, at a low illuminance, it is easy for human eyes to distinguish luminance variation, and as the illuminance increases, it is not easy for the human eyes to distinguish the luminance variation. That is, the reaction of the human eyes to luminance increases nonlinearly. Therefore, the relationship between an input voltage determined by a display panel according to images and the final output luminance should also be nonlinear to adapt to the reaction of the human eyes to luminance, where Gamma (grayscale coefficient) may indicate the non-linear relationship between the luminance of the display panel and the input voltage. For example, Gamma 2.2 conforms to linear perception of the human eyes to the luminance, and accordingly a display screen that meets the Gamma 2.2±0.2 (error) may be considered as a qualified product. However, the display screen needs to go through a number of processes. Fluctuations brought about by each process may inevitably lead to Gamma not in the range of 2.2±0.2, so it is necessary to perform gamma adjustment on the display screen to ensure the gamma coefficient of the display screen remaining in the range of 2.2±0.2.

FIG. 1 shows a color gamut diagram about a display panel. R, G, and B shown in FIG. 1 represent three primary colors of red, green and blue, respectively. A white point D65 is located among the three primary colors, which is a target center of the RGB color space. A position of the white point D65 affects performance of the most part of colors of the display panel. The position of the white point D65 is jointly determined by parameter values (e.g., luminance) of the three primary colors RGB. The position of the white point D65 maybe adjusted by adjusting the luminance and other parameters of at least one of the three primary colors RGB, e.g., by reducing the luminance of one or more of the primary colors, and therefore, a certain amount of luminance loss will be caused during adjustment of the position of the white point.

In the process of adjusting optical characteristics of the display panel, it is necessary to adjust the gamma to a desired value (e.g., 2.2±0.2), and due to the different preferences of different groups, characteristics such as the white point and contrast of a display may be adjusted. For example, the white point coordinates maybe adjusted to be within a range of (0.303, 0.309)±0.02. Gamma adjustment may be divided into single-gamma adjustment and gamma-3 adjustment. In the single-gamma adjustment, the gamma coefficient rather than the white point coordinates is adjusted, so the luminance loss is small. In the gamma-3 adjustment, the gamma coefficient and the white point coordinates are adjusted at the same time. A large deviation of the white point coordinates will lead to a large luminance loss.

When adjusting the optical characteristics of the display panel, it is common to set only one fixed adjustment mode, i.e., the single-gamma adjustment or the gamma-3 adjustment, but both of these adjustment modes are flawed to some extent. Taking the production of VR (Virtual Reality) products as an example, it is necessary to adjust optical characteristics of the product, and gamma correction (i.e., adjustment) needs to be performed in the process, which is often set as the single-gamma adjustment to take into account the luminance. In the case that the single-gamma adjustment is selected, the white point coordinates of some products may deviate from the desired range of coordinates, resulting in yield loss and unstable performance. In the case that the gamma-3 adjustment mode is selected, the luminance loss in adjustment is large, resulting in that the luminance or contrast can not reach the expected effect. In order to ensure the product quality and improve the yield of factories, there is an urgent need for a solution that is compatible with the above two adjustment modes.

At least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides an adjusting method of a display panel, an adjusting apparatus of a display panel, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium. The adjusting method of the display panel includes acquiring a detection coordinate value of a white point of a display panel in work; determining a target adjustment mode from at least two adjustment modes according to the detection coordinate value, where the at least two adjustment modes include a first adjustment mode and a second adjustment mode; and adjusting at least some of parameters of the display panel on the basis of the target adjustment mode, where the parameters of the display panel include grayscale coefficient and white point setting position, adjusting the grayscale coefficient and taking the detection coordinate value as the white point setting position in the first adjustment mode, and adjusting the grayscale coefficient and adjusting the white point setting position according to the detection coordinate value in the second adjustment mode.

By the adjusting method of the display panel, adjustment modes adapted to display panels may be determined according to different conditions of different display panels, automatic selection and setting of the adjustment modes may be implemented, and thus advantages of various adjustment modes may be achieved simultaneously while defects of the single adjustment mode is overcome.

FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of an adjusting method of a display panel according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 2, the adjusting method may include steps S110-S130.

Step S110: acquiring a detection coordinate value of a white point of a display panel in work.

Step S120: determining a target adjustment mode from at least two adjustment modes according to the detection coordinate value. For example, the at least two adjustment modes include a first adjustment mode and a second adjustment mode.

Step S130: adjusting at least some of parameters of the display panel on the basis of the target adjustment mode. For example, the parameters of the display panel include grayscale coefficient and white point setting position (hereinafter also referred to as setting position of the white point), adjusting the grayscale coefficient and taking the detection coordinate value as the white point setting position in the first adjustment mode, and adjusting the grayscale coefficient and adjusting the white point setting position according to the detection coordinate value in the second adjustment mode.

For example, in the adjusting method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, S110 may include adjusting backlight luminance of the display panel to a preset luminance range; and determining the detection coordinate value of the white point on the basis of collected optical information of a white screen of the display panel.

For example, before detecting the actual position of the white point, the display panel may be adjusted to a desired state to make a detection result more accurate, such as by adjusting backlight of the display panel to a suitable luminance range, or by adjusting backlight luminance to a permissible maximum luminance. In addition, in some embodiments, flicker (Flicker, or FLK) of the display panel may also be adjusted to a preset flicker range, for example, the flicker is adjusted to a lowest flicker permissible for the display panel, so that the screen does not jitter or jitters less during the detection.

For example, after the display panel is adjusted to the desired state, the position of the white point may be detected, for example, optical information of the white screen may be collected by means of an optical probe, the optical information includes luminance and color coordinates, the color coordinates of the white screen may be used as the detection coordinate value of the white point, and the luminance information may be used for other purposes. The white screen may be understood as a screen at a highest grayscale. In some embodiments, in addition to collecting the optical information of the white screen, optical information of a plurality of other white points may also be collected. The plurality of white points represent screens at a plurality of grayscales, i.e., the luminance and color coordinates at a plurality of different grayscales are acquired for other purposes.

FIG. 3 shows a flowchart of an adjusting method of a display panel according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, for example, in the adjusting method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, step S120 may include steps S121-S123.

Step S121: acquiring a desired coordinate range of the white point.

Step S122: determining the first adjustment mode to be a target adjustment mode in the case that the detection coordinate value is in the desired coordinate range.

Step S123: determining the second adjustment mode to be the target adjustment mode in the case that the detection coordinate value is outside the desired coordinate range.

For example, the coordinates described in embodiments of the present disclosure are coordinates within a color gamut space, the color gamut space being, for example, the color gamut space CIE 1931.

For example, in step S121, a preset coordinate value and a permissible offset value of the white point may be acquired, and then the desired coordinate range may be determined according to the preset coordinate value and the permissible offset value. The preset coordinate value may be a desired position of the white point. If the preset coordinate value is (X0, Y0) and the permissible offset value is, for example, d, then the desired coordinate range is (X0, Y0)±d, and the desired coordinate range is [X0−d, X0+d] on the X-axis and is [Y0−d, Y0+d] on the Y-axis, where X0, Y0, and d are all values greater than zero. FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of a desired coordinate range according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, if the preset coordinate value is (0.303, 0.309) and the permissible offset value is 0.025, the desired coordinate range A is (0.303, 0.309)±0.02, i.e., the desired coordinate range is [0.283, 0.323] on the X-axis, and the desired coordinate range is [0.289, 0.329] on the Y-axis.

For example, if the detection coordinate value of the white point is located within the desired coordinate range, the first adjustment mode is adopted, and there is no need to adjust the position of the white point, so that the detection coordinate value of the white point may be directly taken as the setting position of the white point, and only the grayscale coefficient needs to be adjusted. For example, the grayscale coefficient indicates a relationship between the input voltage and the luminance of the display panel, and the grayscale coefficient may be the gamma coefficient described above, for example, the gamma coefficient may be adjusted to be within the range of 2.2±0.2.

For example, if the detection coordinate value of the white point is located within the desired coordinate range, the second adjustment mode is adopted, the white point position needs to be adjusted, and the grayscale coefficient needs to be adjusted. During adjustment, the grayscale coefficient is adjusted before the position of the white point is adjusted. During adjustment of the position of the white point, the setting position of the white point may be adjusted according to the current detection coordinate value. In other embodiments, the position of the white point may be adjusted before the grayscale coefficient is adjusted.

In the adjusting method of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the detection coordinate value of the white point is acquired first, and then it is determined whether to adjust the grayscale coefficient only or to adjust the grayscale coefficient and the position of the white point at the same time according to the detection coordinate value of the white point. On the basis of this approach, adjustment modes adapted to display panels may be determined according to different conditions of different display panels, automatic selection and setting of the adjustment modes may be implemented, and thus advantages of various adjustment modes may be achieved simultaneously while defects of the single adjustment mode is overcome.

In the adjusting method of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the desired coordinate range of the white point is set, and the position of the white point is considered to meet the requirements when the position of the white point is located within this coordinate range. Compared to the method in the related art in which the position of the white point is considered to meet the requirements only when the position of the white point is located at a desired coordinate point, the adjusting method of the embodiments of the present disclosure has the advantages of reducing the adjustment of the position of the white point, decreasing the adjustment amplitude of the position of the white point, and reducing the luminance loss.

In the adjusting method of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the adjustment mode may be selected according to whether the detection coordinate value of the white point is located within the desired coordinate range. If the detection coordinate value of the white point is located within the desired coordinate range, only the grayscale coefficient is adjusted. If the detection coordinate value of the white point is located outside of the desired coordinate range, the grayscale coefficient and the position of the white point are adjusted. On the basis of this approach, on the one hand, it can be ensured that both the position of the white point and the grayscale coefficient meet the requirements, and on the other hand, when it is found that there is no need to adjust the position of the white point, the position of the white point is no longer changed, thus avoiding the luminance loss.

For example, step S130 may include: in the second adjustment mode, determining a target coordinate value of the white point according to the detection coordinate value, where the target coordinate value is in the desired coordinate range; and adjusting the white point setting position according to the target coordinate value so that the adjusted white point setting position is located at the target coordinate value. On the basis of this approach, the setting position of the white point may be adjusted to be within the desired coordinate range so as to meet requirements.

For example, in the process of determining the target coordinate value, a point within the desired coordinate range that is closest to the detection coordinate value may be determined, and the coordinates of the closest point are taken as the target coordinate value. For example, the luminance loss has a relationship with the adjustment amplitude of the position of the white point, for example, a positive correlation, i.e., the larger the adjustment amplitude of the position of the white point, the larger the luminance loss caused, and the smaller the adjustment amplitude of the position of the white point, the smaller the luminance loss caused. Since the point within the desired coordinate range that is closest to the detection coordinate value is taken as the target coordinate point, the adjustment amplitude of the position of the white point may be minimized, thus greatly reducing the luminance loss.

For example, in the adjusting method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the desired coordinate range is from a first boundary coordinate to a second boundary coordinate in a first direction, the first boundary coordinate being smaller than the second boundary coordinate; the desired coordinate range is from a third boundary coordinate to a fourth boundary coordinate in a second direction, the third boundary coordinate being smaller than the fourth boundary coordinate. For example, the first direction may be a horizontal coordinate direction. In the following embodiments, the first boundary coordinate may also be referred to as a first horizontal coordinate, the second boundary coordinate may also be referred to as a second horizontal coordinate, and the first horizontal coordinate and the second horizontal coordinate are, for example, X0−d and X0+d, respectively, as described above. The second direction may be a vertical coordinate direction. In the following embodiments, the third boundary coordinate may also be referred to as a first vertical coordinate, the fourth boundary coordinate may also be referred to as a second vertical coordinate, and the first vertical coordinate and the second vertical coordinate are, for example, Y0−d and Y0+d, respectively, as described above.

For example, the detection coordinate value includes a first detection coordinate and a second detection coordinate. The first detection coordinate is a coordinate in the first direction (e.g., the horizontal coordinate direction), and the second detection coordinate is a coordinate in the second direction (e.g., the horizontal coordinate direction). In the following embodiments, the first detection coordinate is also referred to as a horizontal coordinate detection value, the first detection coordinate is also referred to as a vertical coordinate detection value, and the horizontal coordinate detection value and the vertical coordinate detection value are, for example, denoted by Wx and Wy, respectively, where both Wx and Wy are values greater than 0.

For example, if the horizontal coordinate detection value Wx is in the desired coordinate range and the vertical coordinate detection value Wy is greater than the second vertical coordinate Y0+d, the horizontal coordinate detection value Wx and the second vertical coordinate Y0+d are taken as the target coordinate value. If the horizontal coordinate detection value Wx is in the desired coordinate range and the vertical coordinate detection value Wy is less than the first vertical coordinate Y0−d, the horizontal coordinate detection value Wx and the first vertical coordinate Y0−d are taken as the target coordinate value. If the vertical coordinate detection value Wy is in the desired coordinate range and the horizontal coordinate detection value Wx is greater than the second horizontal coordinate X0+d, the second horizontal coordinate X0+d and the vertical coordinate detection value Wy are taken as the target coordinate value. If the vertical coordinate detection value Wy is in the desired coordinate range and the horizontal coordinate detection value Wx is less than the first horizontal coordinate X0−d, the first horizontal coordinate X0−d and the vertical coordinate detection value Wy are taken as the target coordinate value.

FIG. 5 shows a schematic diagram of coordinate division according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, the coordinates may be divided into region A, region B (including B1, B2, B3 and B4) and region C (including C1, C2, C3 and C4). The region A is the desired coordinate range, and one of the X-coordinate range and Y-coordinate range of the region B is the same as that of the region A, while the others are different. The region C has both an X-coordinate range and a Y-coordinate range that are different from the region A. The coordinate ranges of B1, B2, B3, B4, C1, C2, C3, and C4 are, for example:

- the X-coordinate range of region B1 is, for example, [X0−d, X0+d], and the Y-coordinate range of the region B1 is, for example, greater than Y0+d;
- the X-coordinate range of region B2 is, for example [0, X0−d), and the Y-coordinate range of the region B2 is for example [Y0−d, Y0+d];
- the X-coordinate range of region B3 is, for example, [X0−d, X0+d], and the Y-coordinate range of the region B3 is, for example, [0, Y0−d);
- the X-coordinate range of region B4 is, for example, greater than X0+d, and the Y-coordinate range of the region B4 is, for example, [Y0−d, Y0+d];
- the X-coordinate range of region C1 is, for example, [0, X0−d), and the Y-coordinate range of the region C1 is, for example, greater than Y0+d;
- the X-coordinate range of region C2 is, for example, [0, X0−d), and the Y-coordinate range of the region C2 is, for example, [0, Y0−d);
- the X-coordinate range of region C3 is, for example, greater than X0+d, and the Y-coordinate range of the region C3 is, for example, [0, Y0−d); and
- the X-coordinate range of region C4 is, for example, greater than X0+d and the Y-coordinate range of the region C4 is, for example, greater than Y0+d.

For example, if the detection coordinate value of the white point is located in the region A, i.e., Wx is located in the range [X0−d, X0+d] and Wy is located in the range [Y0−d, Y0+d], then only the gamma coefficient needs to be adjusted.

For example, if the detection coordinate value of the white point is located in the region B, i.e., only one of Wx and Wy is within the desired coordinate range, then the white point coordinates and the gamma coefficient need to be adjusted. Only one coordinate (X coordinate or Y coordinate) needs to be adjusted during adjustment of the white point coordinates, so as to reduce the luminance loss.

For example, if the detection coordinate value of the white point is located in the region B1, Wx is within the orientation of the interval X0±d, and Wy >Y0+d, then the target coordinate value of the white point may be set as (Wx, Y0+d), i.e., the white point may be adjusted to (Wx, Y0+d).

For example, if the detection coordinate value of the white point is located in the region B2, Wy is within the orientation of the interval Y0±d, and Wx<X0−d, then the target coordinate value of the white point may be set as (X0−d, Wx), i.e., the white point may be adjusted to (X0−d, Wx).

For example, if the detection coordinate value of the white point is located in the region B3, Wx is within the orientation of the interval X0±d, and Wy<Y0−0.02, then the target coordinate value of the white point may be set as (Wx, Y0−d).

For example, if the detection coordinate value of the white point is located in the region B4, Wy is within the orientation of the interval Y0±d, and Wx>X0+0.02, then the target coordinate value of the white point may be set as (X0+d, Wx).

For example, if the horizontal coordinate detection value is greater than the second horizontal coordinate and the vertical coordinate detection value is greater than the second vertical coordinate, the second horizontal coordinate and the second vertical coordinate are taken as the target coordinate value; if the horizontal coordinate detection value is less than the first horizontal coordinate and the vertical coordinate detection value is less than the first vertical coordinate, the first horizontal coordinate and the first vertical coordinate are taken as the target coordinate value; if the horizontal coordinate detection value is greater than the second horizontal coordinate and the vertical coordinate detection value is less than the first vertical coordinate, the second horizontal coordinate and the first vertical coordinate are taken as the target coordinate value; if the horizontal coordinate detection value is smaller than the first horizontal coordinate and the vertical coordinate detection value is larger than the second vertical coordinate, the first horizontal coordinate and the second vertical coordinate are taken as the target coordinate value.

For example, if the detection coordinate value of the white point is located in the region C, i.e., both Wx and Wy are not in the desired coordinate range, then both the white point coordinates and the gamma coefficient need to be adjusted. The X coordinate and Y coordinate need to be adjusted during adjustment of the white point coordinates.

For example, if the detection coordinate value of the white point is located in the region C1, Wx<X0−d and Wy>Y0+d, then the target coordinate value of the white point may be set as (X0−d, Y0+d).

For example, if the detection coordinate value of the white point is located in the region C2, Wx<X0−d, and Wy<Y0−d, then the target coordinate value of the white point may be set as (X0−d, Y0−d).

For example, if the detection coordinate value of the white point is located in the region C3, where Wx>X0+d and Wy>Y0−d, then the target coordinate value of the white point may be set as (X0+d, Y0−d).

For example, if the detection coordinate value of the white point is located in the region C4, Wx>X0+d and Wy>Y0+d, then the target coordinate value of the white point may be set as (X0+d, Y0+d).

For example, after the target coordinate value is acquired, the setting position of the white point is adjusted so that the adjusted setting position of the white point is located at the target coordinate value. For example, the position of the white point is jointly determined by parameter values (e.g., luminance) of the three primary colors RGB. The position of the white point D65 may be adjusted by adjusting the luminance and other parameters of at least one of the three primary colors RGB, e.g., by reducing the luminance of one or more of the primary colors.

For example, the adjusting method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may further include: after adjusting at least some of the parameters of the display panel, recording the acquired grayscale coefficient in a first storage location and recording the acquired white point setting position in a second storage location. For example, if the target adjustment mode is the first adjustment mode, the adjusted gamma coefficient is recorded in the first storage location, and the detection coordinate value is recorded in the second storage location as the setting position of the white point. If the target adjustment mode is the second adjustment mode, the adjusted grayscale coefficient is recorded in the first storage location, and the adjusted setting position of the white point is recorded in the second storage location.

For example, the storage device associated with the display panel includes a plurality of registers, and some of the registers are configured to record the gamma coefficient and the position of the white point, for example, the registers numbered C7, C8, and C9 are gamma registers. Value of the gamma coefficient may be changed by rewriting C7, and the setting position of the white point, i.e., the white point coordinate value, may be changed by rewriting C8 and C9. The first storage location is, for example, the register C7, and the second storage location is, for example, the registers C8 and C9. In the first adjustment mode, since only the gamma coefficient is adjusted and the white point coordinates are not adjusted, it is necessary to rewrite the register C7 after adjustment, for example, to rewrite the gamma coefficient in the register C7 to 2.2 while the registers C8 and C9 are not rewritten. In the second adjustment mode, the gamma coefficient and the white point coordinates are adjusted at the same time, so the register C7 needs to be rewritten after adjustment. For example, the gamma coefficient in the register C7 is rewritten to 2.2, and the registers C8/C9 also needs to be rewritten, for example, the white point coordinates in the registers C8/C9 are rewritten to the target coordinate value of the white point. In the case of using the fixed gamma-3 adjustment mode in the related art, if the position of the white point is changed, the zero bit of the register C8 is 01 (default 00), and bits 2 to 5 are variation values. When using the adjusting method of the embodiments of the present disclosure, if the position of the white point is changed, the zero bit of the register C8 is 01 (default 00), bits 2 to 4 are variation values, and bit 5 is the default value FF. Therefore, whether or not the white point coordinates are adjusted may be determined by reading back the zero bit of the product C8 as 00 or 01. Moreover, the adjustment mode maybe recognized by the readback of bit 5, which is the conventional gamma-3 adjustment when bit 5 is a variation value, and which is the adjustment mode of this embodiment of the present disclosure when bit 5 is a fixed value.

For example, the adjusting method may include checking whether the adjusted white point setting position is located at the target coordinate value after adjusting the white point setting position; and if the adjusted white point setting position is located at the target coordinate value, recording the adjusted white point setting position in the second storage location. In other words, the corresponding registers are rewritten after it is ensured that the setting position of the white point after adjustment of the white point is located at the target coordinate value.

FIG. 6A shows a schematic diagram of an adjustment process according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6A, the white point coordinates (i.e., the detection coordinate value) Wx and Wy may be input to a processor. Taking d=0.02 as an example, the processor may determine whether Wx and Wy are located within the range of (X0, Y0)±0.02. If they are located within the range of (X0, Y0)±0.02, a target point (i.e., the target coordinate value of the white point) is set as (Wx, Wy). If they lie outside the range of (X0, Y0)±0.02, the processor further determines whether Wx satisfies X0±0.02, and if Wx satisfies X0±0.02, it further determines whether Wy is greater than Y0+0.02. If Wy is greater than Y0+0.02, then the target point is (Wx, Y0+0.02), and if Wy is not greater than Y0+0.02, then the target point is (Wx, Y0−0.02). If Wx does not satisfy X0±0.02, then the processor further determines whether Wy satisfies Y0±0.02, if Wy satisfies Y0±0.02, then it determines whether Wx is greater than X0+0.02. If Wx is greater than X0+0.02, then the target point is (X0+0.02, Wy), and if Wx is not greater than X0+0.02, then the target point is (X0−0.02, Wy). If Wy also does not satisfy Y0+0.02, then the processor further determines whether Wx is greater than X0+0.02 and whether Wy is greater than Y0+0.02. If Wx is greater than X0+0.02 and Wy is greater than Y0+0.02, then the target point is (X0+0.02, Y0+0.02); if Wx is greater than X0+0.02 and Wy is less than Y0−0.02, then the target point is (X0+0.02, Y0−0.02); if Wx is less than X0−0.02 and Wy is greater than Y0+0.02, then the target point is (X0−0.02, Y0+0.02); and if Wx is less than X0−0.02 and Wy is less than Y0+0.02, then the target point is (X0−0.02, Y0−0.02). After the target point is obtained by any of the above processes, the white point coordinates are set as the target point.

The adjusting method of the display panel of the embodiments of the present disclosure is described above, and effects of the adjusting method will be described below with data.

FIG. 6B shows a schematic diagram of distribution of one type of detection points. As shown in FIG. 6B, Spec represents the desired coordinate range, and the surrounding black dots represent a plurality of white point detection coordinate values (hereinafter referred to as detection points) collected for a plurality of display panel products. FIG. 6B shows a distribution diagram obtained by summarizing the white points of the plurality of display panel products. Each of the black dots may be used to represent a white point of one product. As shown in FIG. 6B, some of the detection points are located within the Spec range and some of the detection points are located outside the Spec range, in which case, if the single-gamma adjustment mode is adopted, the setting is to adjust the grayscale coefficient only without adjusting the position of the white point. Since the white point of some products is located outside the specification range (Spec range), the color display of these products is poor and cannot meet the color requirements, and accordingly the products are defective products.

FIG. 6C shows a schematic diagram of distribution of another type of detection points. As shown in FIG. 6C, if the gamma-3 adjustment mode is adopted, each detection point needs to be adjusted to the white point set value P, which is, for example, (0.303, 0.309). Since the white point needs to be adjusted to a preset position in the gamma-3 adjustment mode, the distance between the white point detection value and this preset position is large, and the adjustment amplitude of the white point position is large, which causes a large luminance loss.

FIGS. 6D and 6E show schematic diagrams of data before and after adjusting the white point coordinates using gamma-3. FIG. 6D shows the data before and after adjusting the horizontal coordinates. FIG. 6E shows the data before and after adjusting the vertical coordinate as in FIG. 6D. The detection coordinate value of the white point is (0.315, 0.323). Since this detection coordinate value has a deviation from the white point set value (0.303, 0.309), it is necessary to adjust this detection coordinate value to be as close as possible to (0.303, 0.309). For example, the horizontal coordinate Wx is adjusted first while keeping the vertical coordinate Wy unchanged, and after a number of adjustments (e.g., 12), the horizontal coordinate is gradually adjusted from 0.315 to 0.302, so that the horizontal coordinate is changed by 0.013, the vertical coordinate fluctuates from 0.323 to 0.320, and the luminance Lv is reduced from 415 nit to 394 nit, with a decrease in luminance of 23 nit. Referring again to FIG. 6E, the vertical coordinate Wy is further adjusted on the basis of (0.302, 3.320). After several adjustments, the vertical coordinate is gradually adjusted from 0.320 to 0.286, the horizontal coordinate is changed by 0.034, the horizontal coordinate is fluctuated from 0.02 to 0.305, and the luminance Lv is reduced from 394 nit to 321 nit with a decrease in luminance of 73 nit. Therefore, by adjusting Wx and Wy, the luminance is reduced by a total of 96 nit, which is a large decrease.

FIG. 6F and FIG. 6G show schematic diagrams of distributions of another type of detection points. FIG. 6F shows a horizontal coordinate distribution of the detection points. FIG. 6G shows a vertical coordinate distribution of the detection points. The distributions shown in FIGS. 6F and 6G are obtained by summarizing the white points of a plurality of display panel products. Taking the horizontal coordinate distribution as an example, the X-axis of a histogram shown in FIG. 6F indicates the horizontal coordinates of the detection points, each bar graph corresponds to a horizontal coordinate interval, and the Y-axis of the histogram indicates the proportion of the number of products within each horizontal coordinate interval to the total number of products, and the same is true for the vertical coordinate distribution shown in FIG. 6G. In FIG. 6F, the dotted line corresponding to “Target” indicates the horizontal coordinate of the white point set value, for example, 0.303; the dotted line corresponding to “LSL” indicates the minimum horizontal coordinate of the desired coordinate range, and the dotted line corresponding to “USL” indicates the maximum horizontal coordinate of the desired coordinate range. As shown in FIG. 6F, the horizontal coordinate of each white point is in the desired coordinate range. In FIG. 6G, the dotted line corresponding to “Target” indicates the vertical coordinate of the white point setting value, for example, 0.309; the dotted line corresponding to “LSL” indicates the minimum vertical coordinate of the desired coordinate range, and the dotted line corresponding to “USL” indicates the maximum vertical coordinate of the desired coordinate range. As shown in FIG. 6G, the vertical coordinates of some of the white points exceed the desired coordinate range, for example, the vertical coordinates of some white points within box Q exceed the desired coordinate range. According to the adjusting method of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the vertical coordinates of some of the white points that are out of the desired coordinate range need to be adjusted so that all of the vertical coordinates of white points of this part of products are adjusted to be within the desired coordinate range. Since the horizontal coordinates satisfy the requirements, the horizontal coordinates maybe maintained unchanged.

FIG. 6H and FIG. 6I show schematic diagrams of distributions before and after adjusting white point coordinates by the adjusting method of embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 6H shows distribution of horizontal coordinates after adjustment. FIG. 6I shows distribution of vertical coordinates after adjustment. As shown in FIG. 6G and FIG. 6I, by the adjusting method of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the vertical coordinates of some of white points that are out of the desired coordinate range are adjusted to be within the desired coordinate range. As shown in FIG. 6F and FIG. 6H, since only the vertical coordinates are adjusted, the distribution of the horizontal coordinates essentially remains unchanged, with only small fluctuations. For example, the vertical coordinate average value in the distribution of vertical coordinates shown in FIG. 6G is 0.3184, the vertical coordinate average value in the distribution of vertical coordinates shown in FIG. 6I is 0.3177, and the average change in the vertical coordinates before and after the adjustment is 0.0008. For example, the horizontal coordinate average value in the distribution of horizontal coordinates shown in FIG. 6F is 0.3081, the horizontal coordinate average value in the distribution of horizontal coordinates shown in FIG. 6F is 0.3076, and the average fluctuation in the horizontal coordinates before and after the adjustment is 0.0005.

FIGS. 6J and 6K show schematic diagrams of luminance before and after adjusting white point coordinates by the adjusting method of embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 6J shows a luminance distribution before adjustment, corresponding to the detection point distribution shown in FIGS. 6F and 6G. The X-axis of a histogram shown in FIG. 6J indicates luminance, each bar corresponds to a luminance interval, the Y-axis of the histogram indicates the number of products corresponding to each luminance interval as a percentage of the total number of products, and FIG. 6K shows a luminance distribution after adjustment. As shown in FIG. 6J and FIG. 6K, the luminance basically does not change before and after adjustment, and the luminance loss is small. For example, the luminance average value in the luminance distribution shown in FIG. 6J is 469.389 nit, the luminance average value in the luminance distribution shown in FIG. 6K is 466.469 nit, and the average change in luminance is 2.92 nit. Compared to the gamma-3 adjustment mode shown in FIGS. 6C to 6E, the adjusting method of the embodiments of the present disclosure results in a significant decrease in luminance reduction and a substantial decrease in luminance loss. Compared to the single-gamma adjustment mode shown in FIG. 6B, the adjusting method of the embodiments of the present disclosure adjusts white points of products that do not conform to the desired coordinate range, and adjusts their white points to the desired coordinate range, so that the products meet the color requirements, and defective products are avoided or reduced.

An embodiment of the present disclosure proposes a method of selecting a gamma adjustment mode and dynamically calculating white point coordinates. By the way of dynamically selecting the gamma adjustment mode and dynamically finding the optimal white point coordinates, the product luminance loss is minimized while the white point coordinates are adjusted to be within the desired range.

The adjusting method of the embodiments of the present disclosure overcomes the defect that only one gamma adjustment mode, i.e., single-gamma adjustment or gamma-3 adjustment, may be set in the conventional art, and realizes automatic mode setting. The adjusting method of the embodiments of the present disclosure provides the desired coordinate range of the white point, solves the problem that only one fixed desired white point coordinate is set in the related art, and reduces the luminance loss in the gamma-3 adjustment. Therefore, the problems of large color gamut of products, yield loss of single mode and efficiency loss in gamma adjustment are solved.

At least one embodiment of the present disclosure further provides another adjusting method of a display panel. FIG. 7A shows a flowchart of another adjusting method of a display panel according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 7A, the adjusting method includes the following steps.

A detection coordinate value of a white point of a display panel in work is acquired (step S210). The detection coordinate value includes a horizontal coordinate detection value and a vertical coordinate detection value.

A preset coordinate value and a permissible offset value of the white point is acquired; and the desired coordinate range is determined according to the preset coordinate value and the permissible offset value (step S220). For example, the desired coordinate range is from a first horizontal coordinate to a second horizontal coordinate and from a first vertical coordinate to a second vertical coordinate, the first horizontal coordinate is less than the second horizontal coordinate and the first vertical coordinate is less than the second vertical coordinate.

It is determined whether the detection coordinate value of the white point is in the desired coordinate range of the white point (step S230).

If the detection coordinate value is in the desired coordinate range, the detection coordinate value is taken as a target coordinate value of the white point (step S241); the grayscale coefficient of the display panel may also be adjusted (step S242); the adjusted grayscale coefficient is recorded in a first storage location and the target coordinate value is recorded as the white point setting position in a second storage location (step S243).

If the detection coordinate value is located outside the desired coordinate range, the target coordinate value is determined on the basis of a distance between the detection coordinate value and the desired coordinate range (S251). The white point setting position is adjusted according to the target coordinate value (S252). It is checked whether the white point is located at the position where the target coordinate value is located (step S253). If the white point is not located at the position where the target coordinate value is located, go back to step S252, and adjusting the white point setting position according to the target coordinate value, and if the white point is located at the position where the target coordinate value is located, recording the adjusted white point setting position in the second storage location (S254). In addition, the grayscale coefficient of the display panel may also be adjusted, and the adjusted grayscale coefficient is recorded in the first storage location (step S255).

At least one embodiment of the present disclosure further provides yet another adjusting method of a display panel. FIG. 7B shows a flowchart of yet another adjusting method of a display panel according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in FIG. 7B, the adjusting method includes steps S310-S340 as below.

Step S310: acquiring a detection coordinate value of a white point of a display panel in work.

Step S320: acquiring a desired coordinate range of the white point.

Step S330: determining a target coordinate value of the white point according to a relationship between the detection coordinate value and the desired coordinate range.

Step S340: adjusting a white point setting position according to the target coordinate value so that the adjusted white point is located at the target coordinate value.

For example, step S320 may further include acquiring a preset coordinate value and a permissible offset value of the white point, and determining the desired coordinate range according to the preset coordinate value and the permissible offset value.

For example, step S330 may further include determining a point within the desired coordinate range that is closest in distance to the detection coordinate value and taking the coordinates of the closest point as the target coordinate value.
