DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

In order to make purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments in the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within protection scope of the present application.

Terms used in the embodiments of the present application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application. As used in the embodiments of the present application, singular forms “a”, “an” and “the” are intended to include plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

Depending on the context, expressions “if” and “in a case that” as used herein may be interpreted as “when”, “while”, “in response to determining that”, or “in response to detecting that”. Similarly, depending on the context, phrases “if it is determined that” or “if it is detected that (the stated condition or event)” may be interpreted as “when it is determined that”, “in response to determining that”, “when it is detected that (the stated condition or event)”, or “in response to detecting that (the stated condition or event)”.

It should also be noted that terms “include”, “comprise” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a product or system including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or further includes elements which are inherent to such product or system. Without further limitation, elements defined by phrases “include a . . . ” do not exclude existence of other identical elements in a product or system including the elements.

FIG. 1 is a diagram of a principle of backlight control in the prior art. As shown in FIG. 1, a timing controller acquires a display image from a signal source at a frequency of 120 Hz, and sends the display image to a liquid crystal panel at a frequency of 120 Hz, and the liquid crystal panel can display the display image.

At the same time, the timing controller may alternately send a backlight image and a black image to an LED controller at a frequency of 240 Hz, and the LED controller alternately sends the backlight image and the black image to an LED driver at a frequency of 240 Hz. The LED driver controls display brightness of an LED according to the backlight image and the black image, thereby implementing a black frame insertion operation. Display effects of the LED together with display effects of the liquid crystal panel ultimately form visual effects seen by a user.

In the above method, an output frequency of the LED driver is equal to an input frequency of the LED driver. In order to obtain an output frequency of 240 Hz for the LED driver, an input frequency of 240 Hz is required, resulting in the need to transmit data at a relatively high frequency among the timing controller, the LED controller, and the LED driver. Although a black frame insertion operation can be implemented, the frequency required for data transmission is too high, which is not conducive to the control of a display process.

In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a backlight control method, where after an LED driver acquires an image sent by a controller, one display frame may be split into a plurality of dimming control frames, and in each dimming control frame, a part of area is controlled to display a black image, and in a plurality of consecutive dimming control frames, positions of black images move in a certain order, so that a black frame insertion operation can be implemented by the LED driver, an amount of data transmitted between the LED driver and the controller is reduced with improved transmission efficiency, and display effects can be effectively improved by continuously adjusting a position of black frame insertion in a scanning manner.

It can be understood that, for the sake of convenience of description, one frame (display frame, dimming control frame, sub-frame, small sub-frame, etc.) in the embodiments of the present application may be used to refer to time corresponding to the one frame (display frame, dimming control frame, sub-frame, small sub-frame, etc.).

For example, splitting one display frame into a plurality of dimming control frames may refer to splitting time corresponding to the one display frame into time corresponding to the plurality of dimming control frames, that is, displaying the plurality of dimming control frames within the time occupied by the one display frame. For example, if one display frame, which is 0.1 seconds, is split into 4 dimming control frames, each dimming control frame occupies 0.025 seconds respectively. Similarly, splitting one dimming control frame into a plurality of sub-frames, and splitting one sub-frame into a plurality of small sub-frames, can also be understood as temporally splitting the dimming control frame and the sub-frame, that is, displaying a plurality of sub-frames in the time occupied by the one dimming control frame, and displaying a plurality of small sub-frames in the time occupied by the one sub-frame.

Technical solutions of the present application and how the technical solutions of the present application solve the above-mentioned technical problem are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments may be combined with each other, and same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in combination with the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a flow diagram of a backlight control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. An executive subject of the method may be an LED driver. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes:

• • Step 201, acquiring a dimming image corresponding to a display frame sent by a controller, the dimming image matching a display image on a liquid crystal panel.

In one embodiment, the controller may include a timing controller and/or an LED controller. A length of the display frame may be determined by a display frequency. For example, if a display frequency of a liquid crystal panel is 120 Hz, a length of one display frame may be 1/120 seconds.

In each display frame, the liquid crystal panel and a backlight module work together to provide display effects for the user. The display image and the dimming image (Local Dimming) may be used for display on the liquid crystal panel and the backlight module respectively. The display image may be a color image, and the dimming image may be a grayscale image. In one embodiment, a color display image may be converted into a grayscale image with reduced sharpness to obtain the dimming image.

It should be noted that grayscale values of various positions in the dimming image may be different, and thus when the dimming image is used to control LEDs in the backlight module, each LED may also have a different brightness.

• • Step 202: splitting, according to the dimming image, one display frame into a plurality of dimming control frames to control the LEDs in the backlight module.

An image corresponding to each dimming control frame is composed of a black image and a partial dimming image which are spliced, and in the plurality of dimming control frames, positions of black images move in a preset direction.

In one embodiment, assuming that a duration of one display frame is T, a duration of each dimming control frame may be T/4 after the one display frame is split into four dimming control frames. In the dimming control frame, an image displayed by the backlight module is obtained based on the dimming image by covering a part of the dimming image with a black image, and parts covered by black images are different in different dimming control frames of a same display frame. In the plurality of dimming control frames of the one display frame, the positions of the black images move in the preset direction.

The preset direction may be any direction such as a horizontal direction, a vertical direction, a diagonal direction, etc. In one embodiment, the preset direction is determined by a scanning direction of the liquid crystal panel. For example, if the liquid crystal panel is scanned from top to bottom, the positions of the black images in the image displayed by the backlight module may also move from top to bottom.

In an implementation, the backlight module may be divided into a plurality of horizontal areas, the plurality of horizontal areas are located at different heights, and a number of the plurality of horizontal areas is the same as a number of the dimming control frames split from the one display frame.

In an i-th dimming control frame, an i-th horizontal area is used for displaying a dimming image corresponding to the horizontal area, and remaining horizontal areas are used for displaying a black image; where i takes a value from 1 to n, and n is the number of the plurality of horizontal areas.

FIG. 3 is a display diagram during a backlight control process provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 3, one display frame may be split into four dimming control frames. The backlight module includes LEDs in multiple rows and columns, which may be correspondingly divided into four horizontal areas, with each horizontal area including at least one row of LEDs. In the first to fourth dimming control frames, positions of black images are changed sequentially from top to bottom.

Specifically, in the first dimming control frame, a first horizontal area is used for displaying a dimming image corresponding to the horizontal area, and remaining horizontal areas are used for displaying a black image (the black image is represented by a shaded part in the figure); in the second dimming control frame, a second horizontal area is used for displaying a dimming image corresponding to the horizontal area, and remaining horizontal areas are used for displaying a black image; and so on, until display of the four dimming control frames is completed.

In another implementation, in an i-th dimming control frame, an i-th horizontal area is used for displaying a black image, and remaining horizontal areas are used for displaying a corresponding dimming image.

FIG. 4 is another display diagram of a backlight control process provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 4, in the first dimming control frame, the first horizontal area is used for displaying a black image, and remaining horizontal areas are used for displaying a corresponding dimming image; in the second dimming control frame, the second horizontal area is used for displaying a black image, and remaining horizontal areas are used for displaying a corresponding dimming image; and so on, until display of the four dimming control frames is completed.

By dividing the backlight module into a plurality of horizontal areas and controlling, according to a dimming control frame, the plurality of horizontal areas to display an image composed of a black image and a dimming image which are spliced, positions of black images gradually changing along a scanning direction, black frame insertion effects can be matched with the scanning direction of a liquid crystal panel, thereby improving display effects.

In actual applications, when a frame of picture needs to be displayed, a controller may send a display image to a liquid crystal panel, and send a dimming image corresponding to the display image to an LED driver. The LED driver may split one display frame into a plurality of dimming control frames and partially insert a black image. In each dimming control frame, a position of a black image is controlled to change from top to bottom or from bottom to top. After the one display frame is completed, a next display frame is continuously received and a position of a black image continuously changes according to the same processing method.

According to the backlight control method provided in the present embodiment, it is possible to acquire a dimming image corresponding to a display frame sent by a controller, the dimming image matching a display image on a liquid crystal panel; and split, according to the dimming image, one display frame into a plurality of dimming control frames to control LEDs in a backlight module, so that control over the backlight module can be achieved at a higher frequency, and an amount of data for transmission can be effectively reduced with improved transmission efficiency. Moreover, an image corresponding to each dimming control frame is composed of a black image and a partial dimming image which are spliced, and in the plurality of dimming control frames, positions of black images move in a preset direction, which can alleviate the visual staying phenomenon and improve backlight effects.

On the basis of the technical solutions provided in the above embodiment, in one embodiment, the backlight module is controlled by a plurality of LED drivers through PWM signals; the splitting, according to the dimming image, the one display frame into the plurality of dimming control frames to control the LEDs in the backlight module may include: in each dimming control frame of the display frame, controlling a PWM signal of an LED driver corresponding to the dimming control frame to be turned off, and controlling PWM signals of remaining LED drivers to be turned on, to control, based on the turned-on PWM signals, a part of the LEDs in the backlight module to display a corresponding dimming image; where the LED driver corresponding to the dimming control frame is an LED driver corresponding to an area where a black image is located.

For example, after the backlight module is divided into the plurality of horizontal areas, a horizontal area may be controlled to display a partial dimming image or a black image by controlling an LED driver corresponding to the horizontal area to be turned on or off.

FIG. 5 is a control diagram of an LED driver provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 5, which is corresponding to the solution shown in FIG. 3, in the first dimming control frame, an LED driver corresponding to a first horizontal area is turned on to control light-on for the first horizontal area and display a corresponding dimming image, and LED drivers corresponding to remaining horizontal areas are turned off, thus the remaining horizontal areas are lit off and are displayed in black (an black image is represented by a shaded part in the figure); in the second dimming control frame, a second LED driver is turned on to control light-on for a second horizontal area and display the corresponding dimming image, and LED drivers corresponding to remaining horizontal areas are turned off, so the remaining horizontal areas are lit off and are displayed in black; and so on, until display of the four dimming control frames is completed.

FIG. 6 is a timing diagram of an LED driver provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 6, an LED driver 1 may be first controlled to be turned on, and remaining LED drivers may be turned off, so that there is a light-on for a corresponding horizontal area 1, and there is a light-off for remaining horizontal areas; then, an LED driver 2 may be controlled to be turned on, and remaining LED drivers may be turned off, so that there is a light-on for a corresponding horizontal area 2, and there is a light-off for remaining horizontal areas; and so on. As time changes, in the entire backlight module, the effect presented is that there is a sequential light-on for horizontal areas 1 to 4.

FIG. 7 is another control diagram of an LED driver provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 7, which is corresponding to the solution shown in FIG. 4, in the first dimming control frame, an LED driver corresponding to a first horizontal area is turned off, thus the first horizontal area is lit off and displayed in black (an black image is represented by a shaded part in the figure), and LED drivers corresponding to remaining horizontal areas are turned on to control light-on of the remaining horizontal areas and display the dimming image; in the second dimming control frame, an LED driver corresponding to a second horizontal area is turned off, thus the second horizontal area is lit off and displayed in black, and LED drivers corresponding to remaining horizontal areas are turned on to control light-on of the remaining horizontal areas and display the dimming image; and so on, until display of the four dimming control frames is completed.

FIG. 8 is another timing diagram of an LED driver provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 8, an LED driver 1 may be first controlled to be turned off, and remaining LED drivers may be turned on, so that there is a light-off for a corresponding horizontal area 1, and there is a light-on for remaining horizontal areas; then, an LED driver 2 may be controlled to be turned off, and remaining LED drivers may be turned on, so that there is a light-off for a corresponding horizontal area 2, and there is a light-on for remaining horizontal areas; and so on. As time changes, in the entire backlight module, the effect presented is that there is sequential light-off for horizontal areas 1 to 4.

In one embodiment, when a certain horizontal area is controlled to display in black, a corresponding LED driver may be controlled to be turned off, or, the LED driver may not be turned off and a PWM signal of the LED driver may be controlled to be turned off, that is, output of the PWM signal is stopped; and when a certain horizontal area displays a dimming image, a corresponding LED driver may be controlled to turn on the PWM signal.

A number of LED drivers may be the same as or different from a number of horizontal areas. Each horizontal area may be controlled by one LED driver, or each horizontal area may be controlled by a plurality of LED drivers, or one LED driver may control a plurality of horizontal areas, and different horizontal areas may be controlled through different channels.

Based on the technical solutions provided in the above embodiment, in one embodiment, each dimming control frame may be split into a plurality of sub-frames; where in each sub-frame, an image corresponding to the dimming control frame is displayed for a part of time, and an all-black image is displayed for a part of the time.

Taking FIG. 6 as an example, a stage in which an LED driver is turned on may be further split into a plurality of sub-frames, in which a dimming image and a black image are alternately displayed. For example, a duration of a stage in which an LED driver is turned on is t and is split into 5 sub-frames, each of which has a duration of t/5. A corresponding dimming image is displayed in the first half of each sub-frame, i.e., the anterior t/10, and a black image is displayed in the second half of each sub-frame, i.e., the posterior t/10.

In this way, in the first dimming control frame, an effect of alternately displaying a dimming image and a black image is presented in a horizontal area of a first row, while a black image is displayed in remaining horizontal areas. Thus, in the first dimming control frame, the entire backlight module has a display effect that a spliced image and an all-black image are alternately displayed, where the spliced image refers to an image composed of a dimming image and a black image which are spliced. Other dimming control frames are also split into a plurality of sub-frames to obtain a similar display effect, which is equivalent to inserting multiple frames of all-black images into each dimming control frame.

Similarly, in the solution shown in FIG. 8, each dimming control frame is split into a plurality of sub-frames, and finally an effect of inserting multiple frames of dimming images matching the display image into each dimming control frame can be obtained.

By splitting each dimming control frame into a plurality of sub-frames, it is possible to insert at least one enhancement frame into each dimming control frame, the enhancement frame being used for controlling the backlight module to display an all-black image or a dimming image matching the display image, thereby achieving high-frequency backlight control based on low-frequency data transmission and further improving display effects.

Based on the technical solutions provided in the above embodiment, in one embodiment, a number of sub-frames in each dimming control frame may be dynamically adjusted according to actual needs, and a sub-frame may be further split into small sub-frames to deal with a problem of abnormal backlight cycle. A total length of the small sub-frames may be smaller than a total length of the sub-frame.

FIG. 9 is a diagram of an abnormal backlight cycle provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 9, the first row is a normal dimming control frame including a plurality of sub-frames; and the second row is a dimming control frame with a longer period, and a corresponding duration thereof is greater than a duration of a normal dimming control frame. Since the duration of one dimming control frame is increased, an abnormal duty sub-frame will be generated when the dimming control frame is linked with a next dimming control frame, and the light on time will be increased.

FIG. 10 is another diagram of an abnormal backlight cycle provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 10, the first row is a normal dimming control frame including a plurality of sub-frames; and the second row is a dimming control frame with a shorter period, and a corresponding duration thereof is shorter than a duration of a normal dimming control frame. Since a duration of a dimming control frame is reduced, an abnormal duty sub-frame will be generated when the dimming control frame is linked with a next dimming control frame, and the light off time will be decreased.

Thus, there is a problem that when an input signal is not periodic and backlighting time is also not periodic, which may produce unnecessary brightness differences over time and eventually cause sudden backlight flashing.

In one embodiment, at least one most-latter sub-frame among the plurality of sub-frames may be split into a plurality of small sub-frames, and the small sub-frames are used for minimizing impacts of non-periodic input and reducing abnormal flashing.

FIG. 11 is a diagram of setting a small sub-frame provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 11, among the four sub-frames of one dimming control frame, the first three sub-frames may be retained, and the last sub-frame may be split into a plurality of small sub-frames. When a duration of the dimming control frame increases, a number of the small sub-frames finally obtained by splitting will also increase accordingly, and a duty may remain unchanged during an increased time period.

FIG. 12 is another diagram of setting a small sub-frame provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 12, among the four sub-frames of one dimming control frame, the first three sub-frames may be retained, and the last sub-frame may be split into a plurality of small sub-frames. When a duration of the dimming control frame is reduced, a number of the small sub-frames finally obtained by splitting will also be reduced accordingly, and a duty may remain unchanged during a reduced time period.

In one embodiment, when it is detected that a frequency of an oscillator in the LED driver is abnormal or a speed of receiving data from a controller is abnormal, the at least one most-latter sub-frame among the plurality of sub-frames may be split into a plurality of small sub-frames.

Specifically, when a speed of inputting data is lower than a design speed, or the frequency of the oscillator in the LED driver is higher than a design frequency, frame time is increased; and when the speed of inputting data is higher than the design speed, or the frequency of the oscillator in the LED driver is lower than the design frequency, the frame time is reduced. By setting a small sub-frame, backlight flashing caused by changes in the speed of inputting data or a LED oscillator frequency can be reduced.

In one embodiment, in each dimming control frame, a number of sub-frames may be dynamically adjusted, and a number of sub-frames split into small sub-frames may also be dynamically adjusted.

FIG. 13 is yet another diagram of setting a small sub-frame provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 13, a number of small sub-frames is optional, and it is shown from top to bottom that in one dimming control frame, the last sub-frame is split, the last two sub-frames are split, and the last three sub-frames are split into small sub-frames.

Based on the technical solutions provided in the above embodiment, in one embodiment, a number of small sub-frames split from one sub-frame may be determined, and a resolution of a PWM signal corresponding to the small sub-frame may be determined according to the number of the small sub-frames from the splitting and a resolution of a PWM signal corresponding to the sub-frame. In one embodiment, the resolution corresponding to the small sub-frame may be smaller than the resolution corresponding to the sub-frame.

Specifically, in a small sub-frame, PWM precision may be different from that in a normal duty sub-frame. When sub-frame time becomes shorter, a pulse width of a PWM signal also becomes shorter. Thus, in order to ensure that a small sub-frame has an enough PWM width to light on an LED, a PWM resolution may be reduced.

FIG. 14 is a diagram of resolutions of a sub-frame and a small sub-frame provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 14, a solid line and a dotted line in the figure show various possible PWM signals corresponding to a sub-frame and a small sub-frame. A normal duty sub-frame may use a 12-bit resolution, corresponding to 4096 possible PWM signals; while a small sub-frame may use a 10-bit resolution, corresponding to 1024 possible PWM signals.

FIG. 15 is another diagram of resolutions of a sub-frame and a small sub-frame provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 15, a normal duty sub-frame may use a 13-bit resolution, corresponding to 8192 possible PWM signals; while a small sub-frame may use a 12-bit resolution, corresponding to 4096 possible PWM signals.

In practical applications, it is possible to determine, according to a number of small sub-frames split from one sub-frame, a resolution of a PWM signal corresponding to the sub-frame and a resolution of a PWM signal corresponding to the small sub-frame. For example, if one sub-frame is split into 4 small sub-frames, the solution shown in FIG. 14 may be adopted; and if one sub-frame is split into 2 small sub-frames, the solution shown in FIG. 15 may be adopted.

By determining the resolution of the PWM signal corresponding to the small sub-frame according to the number of the small sub-frames from the splitting and the resolution of the PWM signal corresponding to the sub-frame, control of sub-frames and small sub-frames can be accurately realized, thereby improving control efficiency and accuracy.

In one embodiment, the all-black image may refer to that brightness of all LEDs in the backlight module is 0.

Specifically, the timing controller may send a dimming image to an LED controller at a frequency of 120 Hz, and the LED controller may send the dimming image to an LED driver at a frequency of 120 Hz.
