For comprehension, the present invention sets the display units to be equal to compression units in quantity, namely the display units corresponds to the compression units.

In an embodiment, the present invention The pixels can refer to pixels employing a true RGB structure, in other words, in a same row of the pixels, red sub-pixels, green sub-pixels, and blue sub-pixels are arranged sequentially and circularly such that for sampling units, corresponding demura values are required and provided to sub-pixels of such three colors. Of course, in other predictable embodiments based on the present invention, pixels can be arranged with RGBW (red sub-pixels, green sub-pixels, blue sub-pixels, and white sub-pixels) 4 sub-pixels, and can be achieved by a sub-pixel multiplexing method. In some other predictable embodiments, a same demura value can be applied to sub-pixels of three different colors, or a same demura value is applied to sub-pixels of different colors.

In an embodiment, with reference to FIG. 4a, a relationship between a drive voltage V (i.e., grayscale voltage) of each of the pixels and a light emission brightness M approximates to an exponent function, which is called a gamma curve. Even though an error occurs in a process, the relationship between the drive voltage V (grayscale voltage) of each of the sub-pixels and the light emission brightness M still approximates to an exponent function, and a difference only exists in value of the exponent. When an exponent function is used for calculating demura values corresponding to different drive voltages, the datum become more complicated. Therefore, the present invention creatively employs function conversion to convert the exponent function into a combination of a linear function and a quadratic function, for convenience of calculation of demura values corresponding to different drive voltages V.

Still taking the 8K display panel as an example, a drive voltage thereof is a grayscale of 0-1023, which is totally 1024 levels, in a low grayscale region (0-V1) and a high grayscale region (V2-1023), a gamma curve approximates to a straight line. In a middle grayscale region (V1-V2), a gamma curve approximates to a parabola. Grayscale voltages V1 and V2 can be determined according to the actual situation of each of the pixels in each of the sampling units. Therefore, the present invention samples and obtains demura values corresponding to 5 drive voltages according to each light emission color of each of the sampling units. For an example of red sub-pixels, with reference to FIG. 4b, 5 theoretical drive voltages x1, x2, x3, x4, x5 are determined, wherein x2=V1, x4=V2, x1<x2<x3<x4<x5. A brightness L1 corresponding to the theoretical drive voltage x1 is determined based on the gamma curve, the display panel is driven to emit light, an actual drive voltage T1 is recorded when a light emission brightness of the sub-pixels reaches L1 (an average brightness of the sampling units), a correspondence between the theoretical drive voltage x1 and the actual drive voltage T1 of the red sub-pixels is obtained, and a correspondence between the theoretical drive voltages x2, x3, x4, x5 and the actual drive voltages T2, T3, T4, T5 of the red sub-pixels, a correspondence between theoretical drive voltages x1, x2, x3, x4, x5 and actual drive voltages T6, T7, T8, T9, T10 of the green sub-pixels, and a correspondence between theoretical drive voltages x1, x2, x3, x4, x5 and actual drive voltages T11, T12, T13, T14, T15 of the blue sub-pixels are obtained sequentially. Thus, each of the sampling units corresponds to 15 demura data. Because each of the compression units comprises 64 sampling units, then a number of the demura data blocks of each of the compression units is also 15. Each demura data block comprises demura data corresponding of 64 sampling units. For example, identifiers of 15 demura data blocks of compression units i (i refers to identifiers of the compression units according to compression units in the display panel each of which each identifier can only correspond to) are R-1-i, R-2-i, R-3-i, R-4-i, R-5-i, G-1-i, G-2-i, G-3-i, G-4-i, G-5-i, B-1-i, B-2-i, B-3-i, B-4-i, B-5-i. The demura data blocks R-1-i includes a correspondence of the theoretical drive voltage x1 (minimum brightness) and the actual drive voltage T1 of the red sub-pixels of 64 sampling units of the compression units i. The demura data blocks R-2-1 include a correspondence of the theoretical drive voltage x2 (second minimum brightness) and the actual drive voltage T2 of the red sub-pixels of 64 sampling units of the compression units i.

To reduce the datum, 15 demura data blocks R-1-i, R-2-i, R-3-i, R-4-i, R-5-i, G-1-i, G-2-i, G-3-i, G-4-i, G-5-i, B-1-i, B-2-i, B-3-i, B-4-i, B-5-l of the compression units i are compressed sequentially. Because an actual datum of each demura data block R (G/B) −1 (2/3/4/5) −1 is different and is variable, after corresponding compression, each compression datum of the demura data block has a different size. Thus, theoretically, only after a compression datum of a current demura data block is decoded completely, can a start position of a compression datum of a next demura data block be acquired. Namely, compression data of the demura data blocks can only be decoded in series, and the manner requires a longer decoding time. For such issue, the embodiment of the present invention provides a solution of parallel decoding the compression datum of the demura data block. Correspondingly, the present invention improves the storage method for the compression demura data, the compression demura data includes compressed demura data of each of the display units, and identifiers each of which configured to identify a position of each of the compressed demura data. With reference to FIG. 4c, for easy distinguishing, compression data obtained by compressing the demura data blocks R (G/B) −1 (2/3/4/5) −i are marked as R (G/B) −1 (2/3/4/5) −Y, identifiers configured to identify positions of demura data blocks R (G/B) −1 (2/3/4/5) −Y are marked as R (G/B) −1 (2/3/4/5) −Z, wherein R can be replaced with G or B, and 1 can be replaced with one of 2 to 5. In FIG. 4c, the compressed demura data and the identifiers appear alternately. In another embodiment of the present invention, compression demura data comprises a head file, the head file comprises the identifier R (G/B) −1 (2/3/4/5) −Z configured to identify the position of each compression datum R (G/B) −1 (2/3/4/5) −Y of all compression units i of the display panel. Namely, all the identifiers are stored, and then the stored data are compressed, or the like.

In an embodiment, compressed demura data types comprise a light emission color (one of R, G, B) and an output light intensity (one of 1 to 5). Lengths of identifiers can be the same, for example, the length can be a constant length of 20 bytes, in which 16 bytes are for recording a position and later 4 bytes are for recording a type.

In an embodiment, the present step can call the decoding modules of a corresponding number according to a total amount of types of the demura data, and in the meantime, each of the decoding modules is configured to decode demura data of one type. Alternatively, decoding modules of a corresponding number are called according to a total amount of compression units of each display position, and in the meantime, each of the decoding modules is configured to decode demura data of one compression unit. Calling decoding modules of a corresponding number according to a total amount of types of the demura data are taken as an example and described as follows, and other solutions types will not be described repeatedly.

In an embodiment, for the 8K product, 15 decoding modules are called for implementing the present invention, for example, a decoding module 3-01 to a decoding module 3-15 are called for implementing the present invention, decoding modules 3-i are embodied through hardware.

In an embodiment, the step of based on the identifiers, by the at least two decoding modules, decoding one of the compression demura data in the memory corresponding to a current display position, and obtaining a decoded actual demura datum of each of the display units of the current display position, comprises: establishing a mapping relation between the decoding modules and the demura datum types; reading a compression demura datum corresponding to a current display position of the memory; by the decoding modules, parallel decoding the compressed demura datum corresponding to the demura datum type of each of the decoding modules in the memory based on the identifiers and the mapping relation. With reference to FIG. 4d, a demura datum type corresponding to the decoding modules 3-01 is R-1, and a demura datum type corresponding to the decoding module 3-15 is B-5.

In an embodiment, the step of by the decoding modules, parallel decoding the compressed demura datum corresponding to the demura datum type of each of the decoding modules in the memory based on the identifiers and the mapping relation, comprises: determining a position and a type of the compressed demura datum of each of the display units in the compression demura data based on the identifiers; and by the decoding modules, parallel decoding the compressed demura datum of a corresponding type according to the position and the type of the compressed demura datum of each of the display units in the compression demura data. For example, a content of 20 bytes of the identifier is analyzed to obtain a position and a type of the compressed demura datum, and analysis is implemented accordingly.

In an embodiment, the step of by the decoding modules, parallel decoding the compressed demura datum of a corresponding type according to the position and the type of the compressed demura datum of each of the display units in the compression demura data, comprises: data-catching the compression demura data to obtain compressed demura data according to a position of the compressed demura datum of each of the display units in the compression demura data; according to the type of compressed demura datum of each of the display units in the compression demura data, allocating the compressed demura data to corresponding ones of the decoding modules; by the decoding modules, decoding the allocated compressed demura data. For example, the memory data-catches the compression demura data according to a position of the compressed demura datum of each of the display units in the compression demura data and obtains the compressed demura data, and then transmits the data to the decoding modules for decoding. In the present embodiment, data-catching is implemented by the memory.

In an embodiment, the step of by the decoding modules, parallel decoding the compressed demura datum of a corresponding type according to the position and the type of the compressed demura datum of each of the display units in the compression demura data, comprises: allocating a position of the compressed demura datum of each of the display units in the compression demura data to a corresponding one of the decoding modules; by the decoding modules, data-catching the compression demura data according to the position of compressed demura datum of each of the display units in the compression demura data and obtaining and decoding the compressed demura datum. For example, the memory allocates the position of the compressed demura datum of each of the display units in the compression demura data to a corresponding one of the decoding modules, and uses the decoding modules to data-catch the compression demura data according to the position of the compressed demura datum of each of the display units in the compression demura data and to obtain and decode the compressed demura data. In the present embodiment, data-catching is performed by the decoding modules.

In an embodiment, the step of determining a position and a type of the compressed demura datum of each of the display units in the compression demura data based on the identifiers, comprises: analyzing an identifier storage field of the compression demura datum and obtaining an identifier corresponding to the compressed demura datum; determining a position and a type of the compressed demura datum of each of the display units in the compression demura data according to a content of the identifier decompressed. for example, a header field is disposed in the compression demura datum as an identifier storage field, after the header field is decompressed, all of the identifiers can be obtained. According to a content of each of the identifiers, positions and types of all of the compressed demura data can be determined.

In an embodiment, the step of determining a position and a type of the compressed demura datum of each of the display units in the compression demura data based on the identifiers, comprises: analyzing a current identifier to obtain a content of the current identifier; determining a position of a next identifier according to the content of the current identifier; determining a position of the compressed demura datum corresponding to the next identifier according to a position of the next identifier and a content length of the next identifier, according to the content of the next identifier and a storage sequence of the compressed demura data each of the display units of different types in the compression demura data, determining a type of the compressed demura datum corresponding to the next identifier. For example, a length of each of the identifiers is 20 bytes, and thus the position of the next identifier plus 20 bytes is a position of the compressed demura datum corresponding to the next identifier. For example, the content of the next identifier comprises a compression sequence number. Because the storage sequence of the demura data is R-1-i, R-2-i, R-3-i, R-4-i, R-5-i, G-1-i, G-2-i, G-3-i, G-4-i, G-5-i, B-1-i, B-2-i, B-3-i, B-4-i, B-5-l that are compressed sequentially, a type can be determined according to the compression sequence number and the storage sequence.

In an embodiment, with reference to FIG. 4d, 15 decoding modules are used to decode data of 15 types simultaneously. However, because of variable length coding, a length of each data block is non-constant, and it is required to add an identifier in a front end of each data block. When decoding is performed, an identifier jump module first reads a position of an identifier R-2-1-Z from an identifier R-1-1-Z. When a first decoding module 3-01 starts to decode R-1-1-Y, the memory can extract R-2-1-Y out from a rear of the identifier R-2-1-Z and transmit R-2-1-Y to a second decoding module 3-02, and simultaneously obtain a position of the identifier R-3-i-Z, and so on. By jump under indication of 15 identifiers, 15 decoding modules can work simultaneously.

Advantages of the embodiment of the present invention are analyzed as follows: For a 8K display panel with a refresh rate of 60 Hz, a clock frequency of 594 MHz are applied usually in the among industries. A display image of each 16 rows, under fastest situation, only has 30720 clock cycles. In other words, an average time of decompression of each data block R (G/B) −1 (2/3/4/5) −i −Y is only 68 (30720÷30÷15) clock cycles. Because compression employs variable length coding, a start position of a next datum would only be identified after a former datum has been completely processed, and each data block has at most 64 data (data of each of the sampling units). Namely, in the worst situation, fetching a datum spends a time of 64 clocks, and the time further taking necessary conversion operation after datum fetching into account to inevitably exceeds the limitation of 68 clock cycles, which cannot achieve a real-time processing function. The present invention jumps under indication of 15 identifiers, and can make the 15 decoding modules to work simultaneously. Limitation to a number of clock cycles corresponding to each data block has been loosened from 68 to 1024 (30720÷30), which can make demura compression data of the 8K display panel be decompressed in real-time to lower the hardware cost and production time.

In an embodiment, after the actual demura datum of each of the display units is acquired, for a certain light emission color of a certain one of the sampling units, an average drive voltage (theoretical value) xp of all sub-pixels of the light emission color of the sampling units in a next display frame can be calculated, and then a grayscale region corresponding to the average drive voltage (theoretical value) xp is determined, and a corresponding correspondence is called to calculate and obtain an actual drive voltage Tx corresponding to the average drive voltage (theoretical value) xp to further a demura datum (xp−Tx) corresponding to the light emission color sub-pixels in the sampling units. Accordingly, a sum of theoretical drive voltage (theoretical value) x and demura datum (xp−Tx) of each of the sub-pixels can determine an actual drive voltage V (V=x+xp−Tx of each of the sub-pixels to further complete the demura function.

In an embodiment, the main control chip is configured to:

In the display device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the main control chip is configured to:

Taking a display device of a 8K resolution as an example, the present invention is described as follows.

In an embodiment, a backlight of a backlight module is spliced by 12 backplates. Each backplate includes 432 subregions, each subregion has 4 LED lamps connected in series. The 4 LED lamps is driven by a driver circuit to form a backlight unit. For example, 12 lamp strips are disposed and spliced in parallel, each lamp strip includes 8*54 backlight units, and 4 LED lamps correspond to one of the display units of the liquid crystal display panel. Each of the display units of the liquid crystal display panel includes 80*80 pixels, a size of each of the traverse blocks is 5*5 pixels.

Accordingly, with regard to how to calculate brightness values of the backlight units, a traversing method as shown in FIG. 5a is employed, transverses a display image (80*80 pixels) of the display units corresponding to each of backlight units to obtain 79*79 (N in FIG. 5b) traverse blocks block, adds up brightness values of all of the pixels in each of the traverse blocks block to obtain a brightness sum value L_blockcorresponding to each of the traverse blocks block, and determines a noise datum ra corresponding to the backlight units based on the noise datum determining method as shown in FIG. 5b, and further determines target brightness values of the backlight units according to the target brightness values determining method as shown in FIG. 5c.

Specifically, in the calculation method of FIGS. 5b to 5c:

L_averefers to an average brightness value of the target backlight units corresponding to all of the pixels of the target display units, L_maxrefers to a maximum brightness value of the target backlight units corresponding to all of the pixels of the target display units, L_difrefers to a brightness difference value of the target backlight units corresponding to all of the pixels of the target display units, f(x) refers to a compensation brightness value corresponding to the target backlight units, and BL_valrefers to a target brightness value corresponding to the target backlight units.

In the determining method as shown in FIG. 5b, display devices with different specifications correspond to different threshold values th1 and th2. Furthermore, when each of the brightness sum values of all of the pixels of all of the traverse blocks is less than the first threshold value, the noise data of the image to be displayed of the target display units is set as a first numerical value, i.e., ra=1;

When the brightness sum value of all of the pixels of any one of the traverse blocks is greater than a second threshold value, the noise data of the image to be displayed of the target display units is set as a second numerical value, i.e., ra=0;

when each of the brightness sum values of all of the pixels of all of the traverse blocks is less than the second threshold value and the brightness sum value of all of the pixels of any one of the traverse blocks is greater than the first threshold value, setting the noise data of the image to be displayed of the target display units as the third numerical value, i.e., a numerical value with ra=0 to 1, for example, 0.5.

At this time, an image of a display unit corresponding to a backlight unit is in a dark status, and few noises exist, brightness sum values L_blockcorresponding to all of the traverse blocks block are less than the threshold value th1, at this time, the noise datum is ra=1. Accordingly, with reference to FIG. 5c, a target brightness value of the backlight unit is the same as the average brightness value, i.e., i.e., BL_val=L_ave. Therefore, by the ra coefficient, input of the noises can be lowered, especially to the black image. However, in a scene with some inputted white noise, L_avevalue is extremely low and is approximately zero, and the backlight unit can be closed exactly.

With regard to how to implement conversion of drive voltage values of the backlight units, it is assumed that LED actual output brightness levels of the backlight units of the 8K resolution display panel includes 4096 levels, namely the second bit width is 12 bit bit width. At this time:

First, a brightness value of a LED of each level in drive voltages of levels 0-4095 is measured and caught, Lm[m=0-4095], and the datum is obtained by normalization: Lmv[m=0-4095].

According to an inputted image content, a brightness value is obtained by calculation of 8 bit (i.e., the first bit width is 8 bit), BL_valis a digital signal only including 256 levels which are level 0-255.

With regard to the 8 bit datum, a gamma curve is simulated to normalize the datum, according to an equation as follows:

Lga(n)=(n/255){circumflex over ( )}ga, wherein, n=0-255, ga=2.2 (adjustable);

The brightness Lmv[m=0-4095] are traversed, to find each brightness of Lga(n) which is the most approximate brightness of the LED; a drive voltage conversion relationship table is obtained, and a correspondence between first bit width drive voltage values and second bit width drive voltage values in the table is as follows:

A brightness of Lga(0) is substantially equal to a brightness of LED Lmv[0], i.e., 0 map (corresponds to) 0;

A brightness of Lga(1) is substantially equal to a brightness of LED Lmv[3], i.e., 1 map 3;

A brightness of Lga(2) is substantially equal to a brightness of LED Lmv[7], i.e., 2 map 7;

A brightness of Lga(3) is substantially equal to a brightness of LED Lmv[14], i.e., 3 map 14;

A brightness of Lga(4) is substantially equal to a brightness of LED Lmv[22], i.e., 4 map 22;

. . .

A brightness of Lga(255) is substantially equal to a brightness of LED Lmv[4095], i.e., 255 map 4095.

On the basis of the above a correspondence, a diagram of drive voltage a correspondence can be depicted as shown in FIG. 5d. with reference to FIG. 5d, when a method of directly converting a 8 bit bit width into a 12 bit bit width is applied, a correspondence curve a between drive voltages of two different bit widths is a straight line (1 corresponds to 16, 2 corresponds to 32). A correspondence curve b of drive voltages based on the brightness depicted according to the correspondence is a gamma curve, and is more consistent with a display effect of LEDs. Implementing a drive voltage value conversion based on such correspondence curve b can achieve a greater display effect.
