This application claims priority to Chinese application No. 201610016288.0, filed Jan. 11, 2016, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates to the field of display technology, in particular to a backlight source adjustment method, a backlight source adjustment device, and a display device.
Currently, mobile electronic products have become an essential part of people's lives, and the display quality of these mobile electronic products is increasingly demanded. Due to an oversize chromatic aberration, i.e., a difference between visual color temperatures occurring when white images are displayed by the electronic products in an identical batch, the requirements on chromaticity uniformity are increasingly demanded by manufacturers. Usually, in the case of manufacturing a backlight source, i.e., a light-emitting diode (LED) lamp, for a liquid crystal display device, color gamut of an LED is relatively large. In the case that merely the LEDs with one color temperature range are used for manufacturing the backlight source and the other LEDs with the other color temperature ranges are discarded, it is able to meet the requirements on the color gamut, but the production cost will increase significantly and the yield thereof will decrease. Hence, the LED lamps with two or more color temperature ranges may be arranged in a certain manner so as to form a light strip of an identical backlight source. Based on a principle of color mixing, the chromaticity and brightness may be converted into X, Y and Z values, i.e., tristimulus values, and these values may then be added linearly and converted into the final chromaticity and brightness, so as to narrow the color temperature range of the mixed LED lamps, thereby to meet the requirements on the chromaticity uniformity. In addition, it is able to improve the utilization of the LEDs, thereby to significantly reduce the production cost of the LED lamp.
The color gamut of the liquid crystal display device is adjusted substantially by adjusting the chromaticity of a color filter. However, the light transmittance of the liquid crystal display device may be adversely affected by such an adjustment method. In addition, the adjustment may take a relatively long time period, so the production efficiency may be adversely affected.
Hence, there is an urgent need in the art to adjust the color gamut of the liquid crystal display device using the backlight source having the LED lamps with several color temperature ranges.
An object of the present disclosure is to provide a backlight source adjustment method, a backlight source adjustment device and a display device, so as to adjust color gamut of the display device by adjusting color gamut of a backlight source.

As required, detailed embodiments are disclosed herein. However, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary and that various and alternative forms may be employed. The figures are not necessarily to scale. Some features may be exaggerated or minimized to show details of particular components. Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art.
The present disclosure will be described hereinafter in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.
The present disclosure provides in some embodiments a backlight source adjustment method which, as shown in
Step S101 is to acquire intensity information and spectrum information of current ambient light.
Step S102 is to determine a color temperature corresponding to the current ambient light in accordance with the acquired spectrum information of the current ambient light.
Step S103 is to determine a total current to be currently supplied to a backlight source in accordance with the acquired intensity information of the current ambient light.
Step S104 is to determine brightness values of light source branches having different color ranges in the backlight source in accordance with the determined color temperature corresponding to the current ambient light and the total current, and adjust currents for the light source branches.
According to the backlight source adjustment method in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the currents for the light source branches in the backlight source may be adjusted in accordance with the current ambient light, so as to adjust a color gamut of a liquid crystal display device in accordance with the current ambient light, thereby to improve the user experience. As compared with the related art where the color gamut of the liquid crystal display device is adjusted by adjusting chromaticity of a color filter, it is able to flexibly adjust the color gamut of the liquid crystal display device and ensure the light transmittance thereof while reducing the production cost of the backlight source.
To be specific, in Step S101, the intensity information may be acquired by an optical sensor, and the spectrum information may be acquired by a spectral sensor. Further, in Step S101, the intensity information and the spectrum information of the current ambient light may be acquired in real time, but at this time, the amount of the acquired information is relatively large. Hence, the related information may be acquired at a certain interval, e.g., every one minute or ten minutes.
It should be appreciated that, Step S102 may be performed after the Step S103, or they may be performed simultaneously.
During the implementation, in Step S102, the color temperature corresponding to the current ambient light may be calculated in real time in accordance with the acquired spectrum information. In this way, it is able to acquire the color temperature in a more accurate manner, but the calculation burden is relatively heavy, and it is difficult to adjust the color temperature for the backlight source in real time in accordance with the current ambient light. In addition, an error may occur when reproducing the color temperature through the light source branches in the backlight source, i.e., the backlight source may emit the light with a color temperature approximate to, but not completely identical to, the color temperature corresponding to the current ambient light.
Hence, during the implementation, the color temperature corresponding to the current ambient light may be determined in Step S102 in accordance with pre-stored spectrum information of various types of light sources and color temperatures corresponding thereto. To be specific, as shown in
Step S201 is to compare the acquired spectrum information of the current ambient light with the predetermined spectrum information of the various types of light sources, so as to determine a type of a light source in a current environment.
Step S202 is to determine a predetermined color temperature corresponding to the type of the light source as the color temperature corresponding to the current ambient light in accordance with the determined type of the light source in the current environment.
Through determining the color temperature corresponding to the current ambient light in the above-mentioned way, it is able to reduce the calculation burden, thereby facilitating adjustment of the color temperature for the backlight source in real time in accordance with the current ambient light.
As shown in
Step S301 is to compare the spectrum information of the current ambient light with a predetermined spectrum of natural light so as to determine the current environment. In the case that the current environment is determined to be an outdoor environment, Step S302 is performed. In the case that the current environment is determined to be an indoor environment, Step S303 is performed.
Step S302 is to determine the natural light as the type of the light source in the current environment.
Step S303 is to compare the spectrum information of the current ambient light with predetermined spectrum information of various illumination sources.
Step S304 is to determine one illumination source with the spectrum information closest to the spectrum information of the current ambient light as the type of the light source in the current environment.
During the implementation, usually spectra of the natural light are slightly different from each other at different moments, so the spectra of the natural light within different time periods may be pre-stored, and at this time, Step S301 may be implemented as follows.
At first, a time period to which a current moment displayed by a system clock belongs may be determined in accordance with predetermined time periods. To be specific, the predetermined time periods may include early morning, midday, dusk and night.
Then, a spectrum of the natural light corresponding to the time period to which the current moment belongs may be determined. For example, in the case that a current moment displayed by the system clock is 12 a.m., the time period to which the current moment belongs may be determined as “midday”, and the spectrum of the natural light corresponding to midday may be acquired from the pre-stored spectrum information.
Finally, the spectrum information of the current ambient light may be compared with the spectrum of the natural light corresponding to the time period to which the current moment belongs, so as to determine the current environment. For example, the pre-stored spectrum of the natural light corresponding to midday may be compared with the spectrum information of the current ambient light, and in the case that they are approximately identical to each other, the current environment may be determined as an outdoor environment.
During the implementation, usually the color temperatures corresponding to the natural light may be slightly different from each other at different moments. Hence, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the color temperatures corresponding to the natural light within different time periods may be pre-stored. At this time, in Step S202, in the case that the determined type of the light source in the current environment is the natural light, a predetermined color temperature corresponding to the natural light within the time period to which the current moment belongs may be determined as the color temperature corresponding to the current ambient light.
To be specific, in Step S103, the total current may be adjusted as follows. The total current to be currently supplied to the backlight source may increase in the case that the current ambient light is of a large intensity value, so as to increase the total brightness of the backlight source, thereby to improve the user experience and protect user's eyes.
Usually, the backlight source having LED lamps with two or more color temperature ranges may include at least two light source branches having different color ranges, e.g., a high-color-gamut branch and a high-brightness branch. The LED lamps of each light source branch may usually be arranged evenly on a light strip. During the Implementation, in Step S104, in the case that the color temperature corresponding to the current ambient light is relatively large, the current for the high-color-gamut branch may increase, so as to enable the color temperature for the backlight source to be close to the color temperature corresponding to the current ambient light as possible after the light mixing.
Usually, an LED lamp may emit white light by exciting yellow phosphor with a short wave at a peak wavelength of 450 nm. Due to the use of high-energy blue light as exciting light, the luminous efficiency is relatively high. Although a high brightness value may be provided, it is impossible to prevent the human eyes from being damaged due to the high-energy blue light. Researches show that, retina may be damaged by the excessive high-energy blue light, especially macular degeneration may occur. Currently, very few backlight modules having an eye-protection function are available in the market, and generally, a film capable of filtering the blue light is attached onto the backlight module. However, these backlight modules are seriously yellowish, and their brightness is insufficient to meet the requirements on comfort level. In addition, an LED lamp with low-energy blue light as the exciting light may also be used, but the excitation level thereof is limited and the brightness is very low.
In order to switch the backlight source to an eye-protection mode in accordance with the practical need, the light source branches in the backlight source may further include a blue-light-preventing light source branch, i.e., one light source branch may be formed by the LED lamps with low-energy blue light as the exciting light.
To be specific, in the case that the backlight source includes the blue-light-preventing light source branch, as shown in
Step S401 is to determine a blue light content to be received by human eyes in the current ambient light in accordance with the acquired intensity information of the current ambient light, the determined color temperature corresponding to the current ambient light and a display duration. To be specific, the larger the intensity value of the current ambient light and the longer the display duration, the larger the blue light content to be received by the human eyes. In one embodiment, the blue light content to be received by the human eyes may be calculated over a one-minute circle.
Step S402 is to determine an upper limit of a currently allowable blue light content from the light source branches in accordance with the determined blue light content to be received by the human eyes in the current ambient light and a predetermined blue light content threshold capable of being received by the human eyes.
Accordingly, as shown in
Step S403 is to determine the brightness values of the light source branches in the backlight source in accordance with the upper limit of the currently allowable blue light content from the light source branches and the color temperature corresponding to the current ambient light. To be specific, the determined brightness values of the light source branches is less than the determined upper limit of the currently allowable blue light content from the light source branches, so as to prevent the human eyes from being damaged due to the blue light content.
Steep S404 is to adjust the currents for the light source branches in accordance with the determined total current.
In the case that the backlight source includes the blue-light-preventing light source branch, Step S103 may be implemented as follows.
At first, a current distance between the human eye and a screen in front of the backlight source may be determined, e.g., by an infrared or laser sensor.
Then, the total current to be currently applied to the backlight source may be determined in accordance with the current distance between the human eye and the screen in front of the backlight source and the intensity information of the current ambient light. To be specific, when the intensity value of the current ambient light is constant, the smaller the current distance between the human eye and the screen in front of the backlight source, the smaller the total current to be currently applied to the backlight source. When the current distance between the human eye and the screen in front of the backlight source is constant, the larger the intensity value of the current ambient light, the larger the total current to be currently applied to the backlight source. For example, appropriate brightness values corresponding to different intensity thresholds and different distance thresholds may be provided. The intensity information of the current ambient light may be compared with the intensity thresholds, and the current distance between the human eye and the screen may be compared with the distance thresholds, so as to determine the brightness value suitable for the human eye.
Based on an identical inventive concept, the present disclosure further provides in some embodiments a backlight source adjustment device and a display device. The implementations of the light source adjustment device and the display device may refer to the implementation of the above-mentioned method, and thus will not be particularly defined herein.
