Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 8B, in one embodiment, in operations, the processor 132 is used to perform the following steps according to the plurality of commands of the memory 131: receiving the first temperature data T1; receiving the red grayscale data R1, the green grayscale data G1, and the blue grayscale data B1 of the panel 110 (as shown in FIG. 2). For example, the first temperature data T1 can be the temperature of the panel 110, a panel 110 temperature of the plurality of light emitting diodes 111, or an ambient temperature of an environment where panel 110 is used. The red grayscale data R1, the green grayscale data G1, and the blue grayscale data B1 can be the red, green, and blue grayscales (0 to 255 grayscales) versus the brightness data of the panel 110 measured at a temperature of 60 degrees. A grayscale data RGB1 can be a target brightness data corresponding to the red, green, and blue grayscales (0 to 255 grayscales) of the panel 110 at each temperature (such as the target brightness or the target gamma value at each temperature)), but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment. In some embodiments, the grayscale data RGB1 can be the target brightness data corresponding to the red, green, and blue grayscales (0 to 255 grayscales) of the panel 110 under an initial setting temperature (such as the temperature is 25 degrees), but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment.


In some embodiments, the brightness compensation device 100 can have a light detector, and the light detector can be used to obtain the red grayscale data R1, the green grayscale data G1, and the blue grayscale data B1. For example, the light detector can be any kind of photosensitive element, such as a Charge Coupled Device (CCD), a CMOS Image Sensor (CIS), a video camera, or a camera, but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment.


In some embodiments, the plurality of light emitting diodes 111 can be red micro light emitting diodes, green micro light emitting diodes, and blue micro light emitting diodes. When the temperature of the panel 110 or the ambient temperature increases, a brightness drop amplitude of the red micro light emitting diodes can be greater than a brightness drop amplitude of the green micro light emitting diodes or a brightness drop amplitude of the blue micro light emitting diodes, and the brightness drop amplitude of the green micro light emitting diodes can be greater than the brightness drop amplitude of the blue micro light emitting diodes, but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment.


Then, the processor 132 perform the following steps according to the plurality of commands of the memory 131: at the specific grayscale of the red grayscale data R1, the green grayscale data G1, or the blue grayscale data B1, adjusting the turn-on time data h1 of the luminous signal EM1 (as shown in FIG. 3A) according to the first temperature data T1. For example, the specific grayscale can be 32 level of grayscale of the red grayscale data R1, the processor 132 can adjust the turn-on time data h1 (such as 1h) to a turn-on time data h2 (such as 6h), but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment. In some embodiments, an electric current unit of the luminous signal EM1 can be a micro-ampere (μA), and a time unit of the turn-on time data h1 can be a micro-second (μs). The turn-on time data h1 can be a turn-on time of the luminous signal EM1 at a temperature of 25 degrees, and the turn-on time data h2 can be a turn-on time of the luminous signal EM1 (or a luminous signal EM2) at a temperature of 60 degrees, but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment.


Besides, FIG. 3 is a result of adjusting FIG. 2 from the turn-on time data h1 to the turn-on time data h2. As can be seen from FIG. 3B, a red grayscale data R2, a green grayscale data G2, and a blue grayscale data B2 can be greater than or equal to the grayscale data RGB1, but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment. In some embodiments, the red grayscale data R2, the green grayscale data G2, and the blue grayscale data B2 can be data measured (or obtained) at a temperature of 60 degrees, but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment.


Furthermore, a logic of adjusting the turn-on time data h1 to the turn-on time data h2 can be to first determine the turn-on time (or width) of the luminous signal EM1 to be adjusted according to a current ambient temperature (or a panel temperature) to compensate for the brightness. The specific grayscale R32 brightness of the red grayscale data R1 with a temperature of 25 degrees (° C.) is used as a compensation target. For details, please refer to FIG. 4.


In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 4 together, a chart 410 can be the brightness drop amplitude of the specific grayscales R32 to R255 of the red grayscale data R1 at temperatures T1 to T3 (corresponding to the turn-on time data h1), and a chart 420 can be the brightness compensation amplitude of the specific grayscales R32 to R255 of the red grayscale data R1 at temperatures T1 to T3 (corresponding to the turn-on time data h2), but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment. Besides, a temperature T1 can be 40 degrees, a temperature T2 can be 50 degrees, a temperature T3 can be 60 degrees, and specific grayscale R32 to R255 of the red grayscale data R1 can have grayscale numbers of 32, 64, 128, 192 and 255, but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment. In some embodiments, as the temperature rises, the lower the grayscale (such as a specific grayscale R32), the greater the amplitude of brightness drop. Therefore, the lower the red grayscale, the luminous signal EM1 is adjusted to compensate for the target brightness, and the turn-on time required for the luminous signal EM1 is also longer. When the temperature is higher, the turn-on time required for the luminous signal EM1 is also longer, as detailed below.

When GLEMx<GLEMy,EMx>EMy  relation 1.


As mentioned above, in the relation 1, when a temperature is 40 degrees, GLEMx can be 32 (that is, the specific grayscale R32 of the red grayscale data R1), GLEMy can be 128 (that is, the specific grayscale R128 of the red grayscale data R1), EMx of the specific grayscale R32 can be 20h (h is a scan line turn-on time), and EMy of the specific grayscale R128 can be 18h, but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment. In some embodiments, GLEMx and GLEMy can be a target grayscale of the red grayscale data R1 compensated by adjusting the luminous signal EM1, but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment.

When TempA>TempB,EMA>EMB  relation 2.


As mentioned above, in the relation 2, in the red grayscale data R2, TempA can be 60 degrees (° C.), TempB can be 40 degrees, EMA at 60 degrees can be 34h (h is the scan line turn-on time), and EMB at 40 degrees can be 20h, but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment.


In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 5, it can be seen from FIG. 5 that when the luminous signal EM1 is adjusted for a certain grayscale (that is, the specific grayscale) of the red grayscale data R1 to compensate the brightness to the target brightness, the brightness of red grayscale data R1 higher than this specific grayscale will be greater than its target value. The brightness of red grayscale data R1 below this specific grayscale will be smaller than its target value, as detailed below.

When GLx>GLEM,LumRx>LumRx_STD  relation 3.


As mentioned above, un the relation 3, GLx can be 128 (that is, the specific grayscale R128 of the red grayscale data R1), GLEM can be 32 (that is, the specific grayscale R32 of the red grayscale data R1), LumRx of the specific grayscale R128 can be 53 nits, and a grayscale target brightness LumRX_STD of the specific grayscale R128 can be 50 nits, but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment.

When GLy<GLEM,LumRy<LumRy_STD  relation 4.


As mentioned above, in the relation 4, GLy can be 16 (that is, the specific grayscale of the red grayscale data R1 is 16 grayscale), GLEM can be 32 (that is, the specific grayscale R32 of the red grayscale data R1), LumRy in the specific grayscale is 16 grayscale can be 0.289 nits, and the grayscale target brightness LumRy_STD in the specific grayscale us 16 grayscale can be 0.3 nits, but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment. In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3B together, the brightness of the green grayscale data G1 or the blue grayscale data B1 drops with temperature less than the brightness of the red grayscale data R1 drops with temperature. Therefore, after the luminous signal EM1 is adjusted at this time, the brightness of each grayscale of the green grayscale data G2 or the blue grayscale data B2 will be greater than the target brightness in a temperature of 25 degrees (that is, the grayscale data RGB1), but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment.


Afterwards, the processor 132 performs the following steps according to the plurality of commands of the memory 131: adjusting the red grayscale data R2 (as shown in FIG. 3B), the green grayscale data G2, or the blue grayscale data B2 according to the brightness relation or the sheet to obtain the red updating grayscale data R3 (as shown in FIG. 6), the green updating grayscale data G3, or the blue updating grayscale data B3. For example, the brightness relation can be any relevant formula or relation that adjust the red grayscale data R2, the green grayscale data G2, or the blue grayscale data B2 to the red updating grayscale data R3, the green updating grayscale data G3, or the blue updating grayscale data B3, and the sheet can be any lookup table or shipping specification table that adjust the red grayscale data R2, the green grayscale data G2, or the blue grayscale data B2 to the red updating grayscale data R3, the green updating grayscale data G3, or the blue updating grayscale data B3, but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment.


In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 7 together, after the luminous signal EM1 is adjusted, if the brightness is greater than the target value (that is, the grayscale data RGB1), the grayscale (or the current) needs to be adjusted down. On the other hand, if the brightness is less than the target value, the grayscale (or the current) is increased, and a respective brightness of the red grayscale data R2, the green grayscale data G2, or the blue grayscale data B2 is adjusted to be consistent with the target brightness (that is, the grayscale data RGB1) in a temperature of 25° C. A final result is the red updating grayscale data R3, the green updating grayscale data G3, or the blue updating grayscale data B3, but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment. Besides, when a grayscale of the red grayscale data R2 is larger than the target grayscale adjusted by the luminous signal EM1 (such as the specific grayscale R32 of the red grayscale data R1), the more grayscales (or the currents) need to be reduced. When a grayscale of the red grayscale data R2 is smaller than the target grayscale adjusted by the luminous signal EM1, the more grayscales (or the currents) need to be increased, as detailed below.

When GLx>GLy>GLEM>GLr>GLs,−ΔGLx<−ΔGLy<ΔGLr<ΔGLs  relation 5.


As mentioned above, in the relation 5 (compared with a standard value of a temperature is 25 degrees), when a temperature is 40 degrees, GLx can be 128 grayscale, GLy can be 64 grayscale, GLEM can be 32 grayscale, GLr can be 16 grayscale, GLs can be 8 grayscale, −ΔGLx can be −7 grayscale, −ΔGLy can be −2 grayscale, ΔGLr can be 1 grayscale, and ΔGLs can be 2 grayscale, but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment.


In some embodiments, each grayscale (current) of the green grayscale data G2 and blue grayscale data B2 is reduced to the green updating grayscale data G3 and the blue updating grayscale data B3. When the luminous signal EM1 or EM2 is turned on for a longer time, the drop amplitude becomes larger. The drop amplitude of the blue grayscale data B2 is greater than the drop amplitude of the green grayscale data G2, as detailed below.

When EMp>EMt,−ΔGLp_B<−ΔGLp_G<−ΔGLt_B<−ΔGLt_G  relation 6.


As mentioned above, in the relation 6, when a temperature is 40 degrees, EMp can be 20h, EMt can be 16h, −ΔGLp_B can be −18 grayscale, −ΔGLp_G can be −16 grayscale, −ΔGLt_B can be −12 grayscale, −ΔGLt_G can be −9 grayscale, and the specific grayscale GL at this time is 128 grayscale, but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment.

A strip (green) in FIG. 7 can be the corresponding green grayscale value under each specific grayscale at different temperatures. A strip (blue) in FIG. 7 can be the corresponding blue grayscale value under each specific grayscale at different temperatures, but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment.


In some embodiments, please refer to FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B together, after updating (or compensating), a brightness and chromaticity of a white point (or a white image) at each temperature (a temperature T1 can be 40 degrees, a temperature T2 can be 50 degrees, and a temperature T3 can be 60 degrees) are consistent with the target value (at a temperature of 25 degrees). FIG. 8A can be a comparison chart of the color point difference Δx of each grayscale of the white image before and after compensation. FIG. 8B can be a comparison chart of the color point difference Δy of each grayscale of the white image before and after compensation. In some embodiments, the nodes W32, W64, W128, W192, and W255 in FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B can correspond to 32, 64, 128, 192, and 255 grayscales, but the present disclosure is not limited to this embodiment.


Then, the processor 132 performs the following steps according to the plurality of commands of the memory 131: receiving and determining whether the second temperature data T2 is the same as the first temperature data T1; and when it is determined that the second temperature data T2 is the same as the first temperature data T1, outputting or storing the red updating grayscale data R3, the green updating grayscale data G3, or the blue updating grayscale data B3.
