This application claims the priority benefit of China application serial no. 202311271356.4, filed on Sep. 28, 2023. The entirety of the above-mentioned patent application is hereby incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this specification.
The disclosure relates to an electronic device, and in particular to a display device and a brightness adjustment method thereof.
Nowadays, light-emitting diode display devices have been widely used in application scenarios such as conferences, stages, commercial performances, advertising, and exhibitions. However, with long-term use or under different ambient temperatures, the light panels of the light-emitting diode display device may have light attenuation, causing the brightness of emitting light to deviate from the brightness set by the original factory. Although the issue of light attenuation may be solved by replacing a new light panel, the brightness value difference between the new light panel and other old light panels may cause the display quality of the image to deteriorate.
In the previous technology, a photosensitive instrument may be used to measure the brightness value of the light panel within a specific focusing distance, and the updated brightness value of the light panel may be adjusted according to the measurement results to solve the issue of brightness value difference. However, this method may be limited by the installation environment of the light-emitting diode display. For example, the light-emitting diode display is installed in a position where it is difficult for the photosensitive instrument to measure, making it impossible to calibrate the light panel. In addition, the high cost of photosensitive instruments may also increase the cost of calibration.

It is to be understood that other embodiment may be utilized and structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the disclosure. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology used herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting. The use of “including,” “comprising,” or “having” and variations thereof herein is meant to encompass the items listed thereafter and equivalents thereof as well as additional items.

The driving circuit 106 may drive the light-emitting diodes LD1 to LDn, and detect a forward voltage value of at least one light-emitting diode among the light-emitting diodes LD1 to LDn as a forward voltage value corresponding to the light panel P1. By analogy, the driving circuit of the light panel P2 may detect the forward voltage value of the light-emitting diode thereof as the forward voltage value corresponding to the light panel P2, which is the same for the light panel P3, but is not limited thereto.
Referring to
For example, assuming that the target light panel is used to replace the light panel P2, at least one of the light panels P1 and P3 may be used as a reference light panel. The control circuit 102 may, for example, use the light panel P1 as a reference light panel, and adjust the driving currents If1 to Ifn of the target light panel to allow the forward voltage value of the target light panel (that is, the forward voltage value Vf1 to Vfn of the light-emitting diodes LD1 to LDn in the target light panel) to become consistent with the forward voltage value of the light panel P1. For another example, the light panels P1 and P3 may be used as the reference light panels, and the driving currents If1 to Ifn of the target light panel may be adjusted to allow the forward voltage value of the target light panel to become consistent with an average value of the forward voltage values of the light panels P1 and P2.
Referring to
In this way, the forward voltage value of the target light panel is adjusted according to the forward voltage value of the reference light panel to allow the forward voltage value of the target light panel to become consistent with the forward voltage value of the reference light panel. There is no need to purchase additional photosensitive instruments for calibration of brightness. The installation position of the display device may be prevent from affecting the calibration of the target light panel, effectively improving the convenience of calibration of the display device, thereby reducing the cost of calibration.
T3 is 8000 hours. In areas with the relatively gentle slope, the brightness of the light panel does not change too drastically even at different temperatures. In some embodiments, when using the ratios XT1, XT2 and XT3, the time points T1, T2, and T3 used are not necessarily the time points when the target light panel replaces the existing light panel. For example, the time point of the stored ratio is 25,000 hours, but the current reference light panel is used for 37,500 hours. In order to find out the ratio XT corresponding to the reference light panel at 37,500 hours, the data of the ratio XT1 (25,000 hours) and the ratio XT2 (50,000 hours) are used to perform interpolation calculations to find out the ratio XT corresponding to the reference light panel at 37,500 hours, thereby reducing the error.
The control circuit 102 may calculate to obtain the brightness of the reference light panel according to the initial forward voltage value V1 of the reference light panel, the current forward voltage value, and the ratio of the forward voltage value difference and the brightness value difference corresponding to the current duration of usage of the reference light panel, calculate to obtain the current brightness value of the reference light panel according to the brightness value difference of the reference light panel and an initial brightness value B1 of the reference light panel, and control the driving circuit 106 of the target light panel to adjust the driving current of the target light panel according to the current brightness value of the reference light panel. For example, assuming that the current duration of usage of the reference light panel is the time T1, since the initial forward voltage value V1 and the current forward voltage value are known (detected by the driving circuit 106), the forward voltage value difference ΔV1 may be known (the forward voltage value difference between the initial forward voltage value V1 and the current forward voltage value). The brightness value difference ΔB1 may be obtained by calculation by using the known ratio XT1. In addition, the current brightness value of the reference light panel may be obtained by calculation according to the brightness value difference ΔB1 and the known initial brightness value B1 of the reference light panel. After obtaining the current brightness value of the reference light panel, since the initial forward voltage value V1, the initial brightness value B1, and the changing relationship between the forward voltage value and the brightness value (that is, the ratio XT1) of the target light panel are also known, by applying the current brightness value of the reference light panel to the current brightness value of the target light panel (to allow the brightness values of the reference light panel and the target light panel to be consistent), the forward voltage value that the target light panel is to reach may be obtained. Therefore, the control circuit 102 may adjust the driving current of the target light panel to allow the forward voltage values of the target light panel and the reference light panel to become consistent, which is to allow the brightness of the target light panel and the reference light panel to become consistent.
It is worth noting that the storage circuit 104 may also store the ratio of the forward voltage value difference and the brightness value difference corresponding to different duration of usage T1, T2, and T3 on the corresponding curves C2 and C4. The curves C1 and C3 are curves corresponding to the same ambient temperature, while the curves C2 and C4 are curves corresponding to another ambient temperature. The control circuit 102 may use the corresponding curves to adjust the driving current of the target light panel according to different ambient temperatures. As mentioned in the previous example, in response the current duration of usage of the reference light panel being not exactly the time T1, T2 or T3, the control circuit 102 performs an interpolation calculation (or an extrapolation calculation) according to the forward voltage value difference corresponding to the different duration of usage (for example, the time T1, T2, or T3) of the reference light panel stored in the storage circuit 104, and performs an interpolation calculation (or an extrapolation calculation) according to the brightness value difference corresponding to the different duration of usage of the corresponding reference light panel stored in the storage circuit 104 to obtain the ratio of the forward voltage value difference and the brightness value difference corresponding to the current duration of usage of the reference light panel, thereby adjusting the driving current of the target light panel in the manner described in the above embodiment. In addition, in some embodiments, the current forward voltage value of the reference light panel may also be, for example, the average of multiple reference light panels, and is not limited to the current forward voltage value of a single reference light panel.
For example, the driving current of the target light panel may be adjusted according to the forward voltage value of the reference light panel and the forward voltage value of the target light panel, so that the forward voltage values of the target light panel and the reference light panel become consistent in response to the target light panel replacing one of the light panels. There may be one or more reference light panels used to adjust the driving current. For example, the driving current of the target light panel may be adjusted according to the average of the forward voltage values of the reference light panels surrounding the target light panel.
Furthermore, the method of adjusting the driving current of the target light panel may be shown in
In summary, the driving circuit of the embodiment of the disclosure may detect the forward voltage value of the light-emitting diode, and the control circuit may adjust the forward voltage value of the target light panel according to the forward voltage value of the reference light panel, so that the forward voltage value of the target light panel becomes consistent with the forward voltage value of the reference light panel, thereby correcting the brightness of the target light panel and solving the issue of inconsistent brightness between the target light panel and other light panels. In this way, adjusting the forward voltage value of the target light panel according to the forward voltage value of the reference light panel may prevent the installation position of the display device from affecting the calibration of the target light panel, so that there is no need to purchase additional photosensitive instruments, thereby improving the convenience of calibration of the display device and reducing the cost of correction calibration.
