DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below. The embodiments described below are exemplary and are only used to explain the present disclosure and are not to be construed as limiting the present disclosure. Embodiments in which specific techniques or conditions are not specified are implemented according to the techniques or conditions described in the literatures in the art or the product specifications. Reagents or instruments used without indicating a manufacturer are conventional products that are commercially available.

When a display device in the related art is a binocular single screen, referring to FIG. 1, the two eyes view through a first scanning area 101′ and a second scanning area 102′ respectively, and a shading area 103′ is located between the two scanning areas. Due to the existence of the shading area 103′, a halo generated by the first scanning area 101′ will not be seen by the other eye, and a halo generated by the second scanning area 102′ will not be seen by the other eye. However, when the display device is a monocular single screen (referring to FIG. 2), the shading area 103′ within a display area 10 is micrometer-sized. If the backlight is turned on before the rotation of liquid crystal is completed, the human eye will observe a phenomenon of motion blur. Specifically, referring to a timing diagram in FIG. 3, in FIG. 3, a horizontal axis represents time, and a vertical axis represents the number of rows scanned by a display drive chip. In the figure, a first area A represents total time taken by the display drive chip 2 to scan from row 1 to rom 2160, which is 3.8 ms. A second area B represents the longest response time for liquid crystals to rotate from one gray scale to another gray scale, which is 5 ms. A third area H represents backlight illumination time. When a refresh rate is 120 Hz, with the time for one frame being 1/120 Hz, which means that one frame takes 8.33 ms. Since the time for one frame is less than a sum of the time for the display driver chip 2 to complete all row scans and the longest time for liquid crystal rotation (8.33 ms<8.8 ms), the backlight is turned on before the liquid crystals rotate to a correct gray scale during scanning an area of rows at a tail end of the display area (there is an overlap between the third area H and the second area B, indicated by the asterisk). As a result, the human eyes may observe two images: a transitional gray scale when the backlight is on and a correct gray scale of a final state, commonly known as a phenomenon of motion blur.

In one aspect of the present disclosure, a control method for a display device is provided. The display device includes a display panel and a backlight device. The display panel includes a plurality of display zones. Each display zone includes a plurality of pixel rows. The backlight device includes a plurality of backlight zones that emit light independently, and are in one-to-one correspondence with the display zones. The display panel is driven in a row-by-row scanning manner, and the plurality of backlight zones are sequentially illuminated in a process of row scanning of each frame of the display panel. The illumination time when the first backlight zone is illuminated satisfies the following condition: t₁≥(m/n+a)×t₂+t₃, where t₁ is the time from the start of displaying each frame of image to the illumination of the first backlight zone, m is the number of the pixel rows, n is the number of the backlight zones, a is the number of the pixel rows occupied by a portion of a light-emitting area that extends beyond the corresponding backlight zone when the backlight zone is illuminated, t₂ is the scanning time for each pixel row of the display panel, and t₃ is response time when the pixel row receives a row scanning signal. Specifically, the display device includes: a display panel 1, where a display area 10 of the display panel 1 includes a plurality of display zones arranged in a scanning direction, and each display zone includes a plurality of pixel rows; a backlight device including a plurality of backlight zones that are in one-to-one correspondence with the display zones, where each backlight zone, when turned on, forms a halo that extends beyond the display zone corresponding to the backlight zone; a liquid crystal layer arranged between the backlight device and the display panel 1; a backlight controller that controls a light source within the backlight zones to independently emit light; and a display drive chip 2 suitable for performing row scanning within the display area 10 and charging display pixels via a data line. In the row scanning process, liquid crystals in the liquid crystal layer deflect row by row due to a pixel electric field. For example, referring to FIG. 4, when n is 4, the entire display area 10 is divided into a first display zone 101, a second display zone 102, a third display zone 103, and a fourth display zone 104 from top to bottom. Referring to FIG. 5 to FIG. 8, when the display drive chip 2 performs row-by-row scanning from top to bottom, backlights corresponding to the display zones distributed from top to bottom are turned on in sequence. Therefore, turning on the backlight before the liquid crystals rotate to the correct gray scale can be avoided, thereby preventing the phenomenon of motion blur to some extent.

The principle of achieving the above beneficial effects in the present disclosure is described in detail below.

Referring to the timing diagrams as shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, a horizontal axis represents time, a vertical axis represents the number of rows scanned by the display drive chip 2, and the backlights are turned on sequentially in the scanning process performed by the display drive chip 2 from top to bottom. A halo G that extends beyond the first display zone above a backlight illumination area within the first display zone 101 and a halo G that extends beyond the fourth display zone below a backlight illumination area within the fourth display zone 104 extend beyond the display area 10 and are obscured by a shading area outside the display area 10 and are thus not visible to the human eyes. Halos G that extend beyond the second display zone 102 are formed above and below a backlight illumination area within the second display zone 102. Halos G that extend beyond the third display zone 103 are formed above and below a backlight illumination area within the third display zone 103. Referring to the timing diagram in FIG. 10, in the figure, m/n represents the number of scanned rows in the display zone corresponding to the backlight zone, m/n+a represents the number of scanned rows occupied by the halo G in the first display zone 101 and the halo G that extends beyond the first display zone 101 below the first displayed zone 101 (since the halo G above the first display zone 101 is not within the display area, there is no need for calculation) when the display drive chip 2 performs scanning from top to bottom and the backlight in the first display zone 101 is turned on. According to (m/n+a)×t₂, the waiting time required for the illumination of the backlight zone corresponding to the first display zone 101 may be obtained. According to (m/n+a)×t₂+t₃, the earliest time when the backlight in the first display zone 101 may be turned on relative to the first display row may be obtained. The backlight controller controls the earliest time when the backlight in the first display zone 101 may be turned on, thereby preventing t₁ from falling within the response time of the liquid crystals (i.e., preventing t₁ from falling within the range of t₃). Therefore, turning on the backlight before the complete rotation of the liquid crystals may be avoided, thereby preventing the phenomenon of motion blur to some extent.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the number of display zones is not particularly limited, and those skilled in the art may perform design based on specific purposes of the display device. For example, n may satisfy the condition 2≤n≤24. Specifically, n may be any integer between 2 and 24. If there are too many backlight zones, when a multiplexer is used, the backlight controller controls the backlight illumination time for each backlight zone to be shortened, resulting in a decrease in brightness, or requiring an increase in instantaneous backlight voltage or current, which may affect a display effect and standby time of the display device to some extent. Further, referring to FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the number of scanned rows corresponding to each backlight zone may vary. When n is 6, display scanned rows in the first display zone 101, the second display zone 102, a fifth display zone 105, and a sixth display zone 106 are the same, and display scanned rows in the third display zone 103 and the fourth display zone 104 are the same but are twice as many as those in the first display zone 101.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a portion of a light-emitting area that extends beyond the corresponding backlight zone when the backlight zone is illuminated refers to an area outside the display zone corresponding to the backlight zone where the brightness is greater than or equal to 10% of the maximum brightness of the display zone. Specifically, in the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 5 to FIG. 8, a first light-emitting area C is an area where the brightness is greater than 80% of the maximum brightness of the backlight zone. A second light-emitting area D is an area where the brightness is greater than 50% but less than 80% of the maximum brightness of the backlight zone. A third light-emitting area E is the halo G, and the halo G refers to the light-emitting area that extends beyond the display zone corresponding to the backlight zone with the brightness greater than or equal to 10% of the maximum brightness when the backlight zone is illuminated.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, an illumination mode of the backlight zone is not particularly limited, such as, including at least one of edge-lit or direct-lit. Specifically, edge-lit may indicate that LEDs are located on a side edge of a display screen, and direct-lit may indicate that a light source is located below the display screen, utilizing an array for localized dimming.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the refresh rate of the display device may be no less than 60 Hz.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 13, to ensure that the backlight of the current frame at a corresponding position is turned off when the liquid crystals start to rotate after row scanning of the corresponding display zone for the next frame is completed, and the time when the last backlight zone is turned off in the row scanning process is t₄, satisfying t₄≤(t₆+t₅)−((m/n+a)×t₂), where t₅ represents the row scanning time required for displaying the entire frame, and t₆ represents time of one frame. In other words, t₁≥(m/n+a)×t₂+t₃ and t₄≤(t₆+t₅)−((m/n+a)×t₂) are simultaneously satisfied in the operation process of the display device. For example, when the frequency is 120 Hz, t6 is 8.33 ms, and t5 may be 3.8 ms. Therefore, it is possible to avoid the situation that the backlight of the current frame at the corresponding position is not turned off when the liquid crystals start to rotate after row scanning of the corresponding display zone for the next frame is completed. Therefore, the corresponding backlight zone is turned on after the liquid crystals corresponding to the display zone for the current frame are rotated; and the backlight zone corresponding to the display zone for the current frame is turned off before the liquid crystals corresponding to the display zone for the next frame start to rotate, thereby preventing the human eyes from observing the phenomenon of motion blur.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, referring to FIG. 13, when n is 4, there is only one halo G in the first display zone 101 and the fourth display zone 104, and the second display zone 102 and the third display zone 103 both include two halos G. To calculate a maximum duration for which the backlight is kept in an on state, it is necessary to consider the two halos G on an upper side and a lower side of a backlight illuminated area, thereby avoiding the halos G from entering a second area B of the current frame or a second area B of the next frame. Specifically, the duration for each backlight zone is kept in an on state is t₇, satisfying t₇≤t₆−t₃−(m/n+2a)×t₂. In other words, in an operation process of the display device, t₁≥(m/n+a)×t₂+t₃, t₄≤(t₆+t₅)−((m/n+a)×t₂), and t₇≤t₆−t₃−(m/n+2a)×t₂ are simultaneously met. Therefore, the phenomenon of motion blur can be avoided when the backlight of the first backlight zone is just turned on and the last backlight zone is about to be turned off.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the time interval between the illumination time of two adjacent backlight zones is the same and is t₈, satisfying t₈≥m/n×t₂. In other words, in the operation process of the display device, t₁≥(m/n+a)×t₂+t₃, t₄≤(t₆+t₅)−((m/n+a)×t₂), t₇≤t₆−t₃−(m/n+2a)×t₂, and t₈≥m/n×t₂ are simultaneously met. For example, referring to FIG. 14, when n is 4, there are totally four display zones in the display device, including four corresponding backlight zones that are turned on. There is an interval between the start time of the backlight zones of the two adjacent display zones. Taking the first display zone 101 and the second display zone 102 as an example for description, the time when the first backlight zone is turned on and the time when the fourth backlight zone is turned off are shown in FIG. 14. The interval time between the start time of the first backlight zone and the start time of the second backlight zone is the shortest. If the interval between the start time of the first backlight zone and the start time of the second backlight zone continues to decrease, the halo G generated when the second backlight zone is turned on will appear earlier than the time (maximum response time) when ensuring completed rotation of the liquid crystals of the next display zone (the third display zone 103). In this case, turning on the backlight zone may result in an observation of the phenomenon of motion blur. Therefore, the phenomenon of motion blur of the liquid crystals can be further avoided by satisfying t₈≥m/n×t₂.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, t₈≤((t₆+t₅−t₃)−(m/n+a)×t₂×2−t₇)/(n−1). In other words, in the operation process of the display device, t₁≥(m/n+a)×t₂+t₃, t₄≤(t₆+t₅)−((m/n+a)×t₂), t₇≤t₆−t₃−(m/n+2a)×t₂, t₈m/n×t₂, and t₈S((t₆+t₅−t₃)−(m/n+a)×t₂×2−t₇)/(n−1) may be simultaneously satisfied. For example, referring to FIG. 15, when n is 4, there are totally 4 display zones in the display device, including four corresponding backlight zones that are turned on. The time when the first backlight zone is turned on and the time when the fourth backlight zone is turned off are shown in FIG. 15. In this case, the interval time between the start time of the first backlight zone and the start time of the second backlight zone is the longest. If the interval time continues to increase, the halo G of the last backlight zone may be affected, which may enter the second area B of the next frame, causing a risk of motion blur of the liquid crystals.
