DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to make the objects, the technical solutions and the advantages of the present disclosure more apparent, the present disclosure will be described hereinafter in a clear and complete manner in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the following embodiments merely relate to a part of, rather than all of, the embodiments of the present disclosure, and based on these embodiments, a person skilled in the art may, without any creative effort, obtain the other embodiments, which also fall within the scope of the present disclosure.


As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the present disclosure provides in some embodiments a display device which includes, e.g., a liquid crystal display panel 110 and a light control panel 120. The liquid crystal display panel 110 is arranged at a light-exiting side of the light control panel 120.


To be specific, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the liquid crystal display panel 110 may include an array substrate, a color film substrate and a liquid crystal cell. The liquid crystal display panel 110 may be used to achieve a display function, and it may include a plurality of pixels. Each pixel may include a plurality of subpixels in different colors. The structure of the liquid crystal display panel 110 may refer to that known in the art to some extent, and thus will not be particularly defined herein.


The light control panel 120 may also be called as Mono panel, and different from the liquid crystal display panel 110, the light control panel 120 may be understood as a liquid crystal panel without any color filter. The light control panel 120 may include a plurality of light control pixels, and each light control pixel may include a plurality of light control subpixels for controlling the passage of light.


The control subpixel has an optimal effect to allow the light to pass therethrough and block the light, so it is able to improve contrast of the display device as well as a display effect. In addition, a state of each light control subpixel where the light is allowed to pass may be controllable.


In some possible embodiments of the present disclosure, the light control subpixels may correspond to subpixels of the liquid crystal display panel 110 respectively, so as to accurately control display brightness of each subpixel of the liquid crystal display panel 110, thereby to further improve the display effect.


In some special cases, the display effect of the display device is highly demanded. For example, in the medical field, for a same medical image, a same viewing effect should be acquired on different medical devices, so as to ensure an accurate diagnosis.


As shown in FIG. 2, the liquid crystal display panel 110 is provided with one or more first photosensitive thin film transistors TFT1 for detecting brightness value of an external environment where the display device is located.


It should be appreciated that, an electrical property of a semiconductor may be affected by a light intensity, so it is able to detect the light intensity through detecting an electrical parameter of a thin film transistor.


As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 4A and 4B, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, each first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1 includes a control electrode, a first electrode and a second electrode. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first electrode of the first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1 may serve as an input end of the first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1, and the second electrode of the first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1 may serve as an output end of the first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1. The control electrode of the first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1 may be a gate electrode, one of the first electrode and the second electrode of the first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1 may be a source electrode, and the other may be a drain electrode.


As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, 4A and 4B, the liquid crystal display panel 110 includes a plurality of first shift register units GOAL The control electrode of each first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1 is coupled to a clock signal line CLK1 of the first shift register unit GOA1 to acquire a control signal Gate1. The input end of each first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1 is coupled to a deflection reference voltage signal line VCOM1 of the liquid crystal display panel 110 to acquire an inputted reference signal. The output end of each first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1 is coupled to a first output signal line of the liquid crystal display panel 110 to output an environmental brightness signal I1.


As shown in FIG. 4A, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, each first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1 may be arranged at a region where the first shift register units GOA1 are located, so as to reduce space occupation.


In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a first signal multiplexer MUX may be arranged between the input end of the first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1 and the deflection reference voltage signal line VCOM1 of the liquid crystal display panel 110, so as to enable the first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1 to acquire a reference signal from the deflection reference voltage signal line VCOM1 of the liquid crystal display panel 110 through the firs signal multiplexer.


In the embodiments of the present disclosure, apart from the additional first output signal line, it is unnecessary to provide the liquid crystal display panel 110 with any additional signal lines, and it is also unnecessary to provide a related driving circuit for providing a control signal and an input signal for the first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1, so it is able to simplify a structure and a circuit design of the display panel.


During the implementation, a lookup table may be established between brightness values and current flowing through the first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1, and brightness data may be looked up in the lookup table. Further, a correspondence between brightness and a dimming table may be looked up and output to a control circuit or controller, so as to adjust backlight brightness. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the display effect may be compensated through an existing or improved compensation algorithm selected in accordance with the environmental brightness value, and the compensation algorithm will not be particularly defined herein.


According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the environmental brightness value may be detected through the first photosensitive thin film transistors TFT1 on the display liquid crystal panel 110 without any add-on light collection device, so it is able to reduce the device cost, and reduce a space occupied by an add-on light sensor disadvantageously.


Further, through the reuse of the deflection reference voltage signal line and the clock signal line of the liquid crystal display panel 110, it is able to reduce the quantity of lines, thereby to reduce a design complexity of the display panel and improve the reliability of the display device.


For example, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, one or more second photosensitive thin film transistors TFT2 may be arranged at a light-entering side of the light control panel 120.


In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the one or more second photosensitive thin film transistors TFT2 may also be arranged at the light-entering side of the light control panel 120 to collect the backlight brightness of the display device. A connection mode of the second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2 may be similar to that of the first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1 on the liquid crystal display panel 110.


To be specific, each second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2 may include a control electrode, a first electrode and a second electrode. The first electrode of the second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2 may serve as an input end of the second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2, and the second electrode of the second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2 may serve as an output end of the second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2. The control electrode of the second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2 may be a gate electrode, one of the first electrode and the second electrode of the second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2 may be a source electrode, and the other may be a drain electrode.


The light control panel 120 may include a plurality of second shift register units GOA2. The control electrode of each second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2 may be coupled to a clock signal line CLK2 of the second shift register unit GOA2, the input end of each second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2 may be coupled to a deflection reference voltage signal line VCOM2 of the light control panel 120, and the output end of each second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2 may be coupled to a second output signal line of the liquid crystal display panel 110, so as to output a backlight brightness signal 12.


As shown in FIG. 1, the first output signal line and the second output signal line may each extend along edges of the liquid crystal display panel 110 and the light control panel 120 to a corresponding circuit board XPCB, and then may be coupled to a driving board. A voltage conversion and amplification circuit may be integrated with the XPCB, and Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) compensation processor and the driving board Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) may be used in common, so as to reduce the cost.


In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a second signal multiplexer may be arranged between the input end of the second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2 and the deflection reference voltage signal line VCOM2 of the light control panel 120, so as to acquire a reference signal from the deflection reference voltage signal line VCOM2 of the light control panel 120.


In use, the first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1 may be used to collect the environmental brightness value, and the second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2 may be used to collect a backlight brightness value. Next, a display result of the display device may be compensated in accordance with the collected environmental brightness value and the backlight brightness value, so as to improve the compensation accuracy and further improve the display effect.


In a medical field, the transmission and storage of an image needs to meet a standard DICOM format, and meanwhile a grayscale image needs to be displayed by the display device in accordance with a grayscale standard display function. Hence, a professional medical display device needs to perform DICOM compensation. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the DICOM compensation may be performed on the display device in accordance with the environmental brightness value and the backlight brightness value.


For example, In some possible embodiments of the present disclosure, the brightness of the display device may be compensation through the following equation J(L)=A+B log10 L+C(log10 L)2+D(log10 L)3+E(log10 L)4+F(log10 L)5+G(log10 L)6+H(log10 L)7+I(log10 L)8 . . . (1), where L represents the detected environmental brightness value, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I represent compensation coefficients and are constant values, and J(L) represents a brightness compensation result.


In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to improve the collection accuracy of the environmental brightness value and the backlight brightness value, the plurality of photosensitive thin film transistors may be provided.


As shown in FIG. 4A, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, each first shift register unit GOA1 may be coupled to a plurality of first photosensitive thin film transistors TFT1, and the plurality of first photosensitive thin film transistors TFT1 coupled to a same first shift register unit GOA1 may be connected in parallel to each other.

The following description will be given when each first shift register unit GOA1 corresponds to 5 first photosensitive thin film transistors TFT1 and each second shift register unit GOA2 corresponds to 5 second photosensitive thin film transistors TFT2. After testing, a display device with a diagonal size of 23.8 inches may be provided with 800 to 900 first photosensitive thin film transistors TFT1 and 800 to 900 second photosensitive thin film transistors TFT2, so it is able to collect sufficient data. In addition, it is able to provide a relatively large signal anti-interference capability, thereby to improve the collection accuracy of the environmental brightness value and the backlight brightness value.


In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the liquid crystal display panel 110 may include a color filter substrate and a first array substrate.


As shown in FIG. 2, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a first black matrix is arranged on the color filter substrate, first openings 111 are formed in the first black matrix, the first photosensitive thin film transistors TFT1 are arranged on the first array substrate, and the first openings 111 are arranged in such a manner as to correspond to the first photosensitive thin film transistors TFT1 respectively.


An orthogonal projection of each first opening 111 onto the first array substrate may overlap the corresponding first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1. It should be appreciated that, the word “overlap” refers to that a part of or all of the orthogonal projection of the first opening 111 onto the first array substrate overlaps a part of or all of an orthogonal projection of the corresponding first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1 onto the first array substrate. In other words, the orthogonal projection of the first opening 111 onto the first array substrate may overlap the orthogonal projection of the corresponding first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1 onto the first array substrate, or the orthogonal projection of the first opening 111 onto the first array substrate may be located within the orthogonal projection of the corresponding first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1 onto the first array substrate, or a part of the orthogonal projection of the first opening 111 onto the first array substrate may overlap a part of the orthogonal projection of the corresponding first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1 onto the first array substrate, or the orthogonal projection of the first opening 111 onto the first array substrate may coincide with the orthogonal projection of the corresponding first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1 onto the first array substrate.


Through the first openings 111 in the first black matrix, light from an external environment may pass through the first opening 111 to the corresponding first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1, so as to detect an environmental brightness value.


In some embodiments of the present disclosure, an inner wall of the first opening 111 may be subjected to whitening treatment, so as to reduce the light absorbed by the inner wall of the first opening 111, thereby to further improve the detection accuracy of the environmental brightness value.


In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 4A, the liquid crystal display panel 110 includes a display region AA, and each first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1 is arranged outside the display region AA. In addition, as shown in FIG. 4B, the light control panel 120 includes a light control region corresponding to the display region AA, an orthogonal projection of the display region AA onto the light control panel 120 overlaps the light control region, and each second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2 is arranged outside the light control region.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4B, the light control panel 120 includes the light control region and a second peripheral region 402 surrounding the light control region. As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, each first shift register unit GOA1 is arranged at the first peripheral region 401, and each second shift register unit GOA2 is arranged at the second peripheral region 402.


The liquid crystal display panel 110 may be driven from a single side, i.e., the first shift register units GOA1 may be arranged merely at one side of the display region AA, or the liquid crystal display panel 110 may be driven from two sides, i.e., the first shift register units GOA1 may be arranged at two sides of the display region AA. Similarly, the light control panel 120 may be driven from a single side, i.e., the second shift register units GOA2 may be arranged merely at one side of the light control region, or the light control panel 120 may be driven from two sides, i.e., the second shift register units GOA2 may be arranged at two sides of the light control region.


In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1 may be arranged outside the display region AA, and the second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2 may be arranged outside the light control region, so as to prevent the display effect from being adversely affected, e.g., due to possible coupling between a line for the photosensitive thin film transistor and the other structures.


As shown in FIG. 5, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the display device further includes a backlight unit BLU arranged at a side of the light control panel 120 away from the liquid crystal display panel 110, and a sealant 501 for securing the light control panel 120 is further arranged between the backlight unit BLU and the light control panel 120. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the sealant 501 is used to support and secure the light control panel 120 and the liquid crystal display panel 110. In order to prevent the display effect from being adversely affected, a portion of the sealant 501 overlapping the light control panel 120 may be arranged outside the light control region, i.e., at the second peripheral region 402 in FIG. 4B. Second openings 502 are formed in the sealant 501, and are arranged in such a manner as to correspond to the second photosensitive thin film transistors TFT2 respectively.


An orthogonal projection of each second opening 502 onto a second array substrate may overlap the corresponding second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2. It should be appreciated that, the word “overlap” refers to that a part of or all of the orthogonal projection of the second opening 502 onto the second array substrate overlaps a part of or all of the orthogonal projection of the corresponding second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1 onto the second array substrate.


Through the second opening 502 in the sealant 501, it is able to ensure that the light from the backlight unit BLU to reach the corresponding second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2, thereby to collect the backlight brightness value.


It should be appreciated that, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a region of an outer frame 503 of the display device corresponding to the first photosensitive thin film transistors TFT1 may be hollowed out according to the practical need, so as to form a hollowed-out region 504, thereby to effectively collect the environmental brightness value through the first photosensitive thin film transistors TFT1.


As shown in FIG. 6, in some possible embodiments of the present disclosure, the display device may be bezel-free or have a narrow bezel, i.e., the sealant 501 in FIG. 5 may be removed. Correspondingly, the display device may further include a support structure 601 for securing the light control panel 120 and the backlight unit BLU. An orthogonal projection of a portion of the support structure 601 in contact with the light control panel 120 onto the light control panel 120 may not overlap the second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2, i.e., the light from the backlight unit BLU may reach the second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2.


As shown in FIG. 2, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, a position of each first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1 on the first array substrate may be the same as a position of each second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2 on the second array substrate, i.e., the first array substrate and the second array substrate may be of a same structure. In other words, the first array substrate may be reused as the second array substrate. In this way, merely one kind of array substrate needs to be adopted in the embodiments of the present disclosure, so as to reduce the manufacture cost.


In some other embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 6, in order to be adapted to a position of the support structure 601, a position of each second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2 is adjusted. As shown in FIG. 7, the position of each first photosensitive thin film transistor TFT1 on the first array substrate may be different from the position of each second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2 on the second array substrate.


In the embodiments of the present disclosure, each second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2 may be arranged at a region between the support structure 601 and the light control region, so as to collect the backlight brightness value through the second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2, and reduce a bezel width of the display device, thereby to improve the user experience.


In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the light control panel 120 may include an opposite substrate and the second array substrate, and the opposite substrate differs from the above-mentioned color film substrate mainly in that no color filter is provided.


As shown in FIG. 7, a second black matrix is arranged on the opposite substrate, the second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2 is arranged on the second array substrate, and an orthogonal projection of the second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2 onto the opposite substrate is located within the second black matrix BM2.


When the orthogonal projection of the second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2 onto the opposite substrate is located within the second black matrix BM2, it is able to block the light from the external environment, and prevent the light from the external environment from reaching the second photosensitive thin film transistor TFT2, thereby to improve the detection accuracy of the backlight brightness value.
