Obtaining step S101: obtaining a plurality of illuminating data corresponding to the plurality of backlight units. The plurality of illuminating data are configured for the plurality of backlight units to display a frame within a predetermined time period. The predetermined time period is divided to a plurality of sub-periods. At least two of the sub-periods are not equal. The plurality of illuminating data include a plurality of sub-illuminating data corresponding to the plurality of sub-periods, and the plurality of sub-illuminating data correspond to data voltages of different voltage levels.
First input step S102: inputting the plurality of illuminating data into the data lines.
Second input step S103: inputting a scan signal into the scan line to allow the plurality of backlight units to receive the plurality of sub-illuminating data when each of the plurality of the sub-periods begins.
In the above step S101, the processor could obtain a plurality of illuminating data from a timing controller or a field programmable gate array (FPGA). In this embodiment, the illuminating data corresponding to each of the backlight units have A bits (that is, 0th bit to (A−1)th bit). Each of the A bits carries a binary datum 0 or 1. The 0th bit is the least significant bit and the (A−1)th bit is the most significant bit. At this time, each backlight unit includes 2A gray values. That is, each of the backlight units could generate light of 2A different luminance levels.
The predetermined time period for the backlight units to display a frame could be divided into B sub-periods. Corresponding to the B sub-periods, the illuminating data having A bits could be divided into B sub-illuminating data. Each of the B sub-illuminating data has A/B bits. Accordingly, the B sub-illuminating data have different data voltages of 2A/B different voltage levels.
In this embodiment, the lower bits have lower luminance contribution in each illuminating data and the higher bits have higher luminance contribution in each illuminating data when the backlight units display images. Therefore, the time duration of the lower bits should be applied for a shorter time period than that of the higher bits. In addition, because each of the illuminating data is outputted in an order from its lower bits to its higher bits, the time duration of the B sub-periods increases from its first sub-period to the Bth sub-period. In another embodiment, in each of the illuminating data, if the lower bits also have lower luminance contribution in each illuminating data and the higher bits also have higher luminance contribution, the time duration of B sub-periods could be divided as follows: the time duration of the sub-period corresponding to the sub-illuminating data of lower bits could be longer than the time duration of the sub-period corresponding to the sub-illuminating data of higher bits. For example, the first B/2 sub-periods could have the same time duration, the last B/2 sub-periods could have the same time duration, and the time duration of the first B/2 sub-periods is shorter than the time duration of the last B/2 sub-periods. Please note, the luminance contribution of each of the bits of the illuminating data could be obtained by the processor when the processor obtains each of the illuminating data.
On the other hand, in each of the illuminating data, if the lower bits also have higher luminance contribution in each illuminating data and the higher bits also have lower luminance contribution, the time duration of B sub-periods should be divided as follows: the time duration of the sub-period corresponding to the sub-illuminating data of lower bits could be shorter than the time duration of the sub-period corresponding to the sub-illuminating data of higher bits.
In each of the illuminating data, if the lower bits have lower luminance contribution in each illuminating data, the middle bits have middle luminance contribution, and the higher bits have higher luminance contribution, the time duration of B sub-periods should be divided as follows: the time duration of the sub-period corresponding to the sub-illuminating data of lower bits could be comparatively shorter, the time duration of the sub-period corresponding to the sub-illuminating data of middle bits could be comparatively middle, and the time duration of the sub-period corresponding to the sub-illuminating data of middle bits could be comparatively longer.
The processor divides the time duration of the sub-periods according to the luminance contribution of each of the bits in the illuminating data.
In this embodiment, the predetermined time is divided into a plurality of secondary sub-periods. The Nth sub-period of above-mentioned B sub-periods has 2N−1 secondary sub-periods.
The second input step S103 includes: when each of the plurality of the secondary sub-periods of the Nth sub-period begins, inputting a scan signal into the scan line such that the plurality of sub-illuminating data corresponding to the N Nth sub-period for 2N−1 times to the plurality of backlight units.
For example, each illuminating data corresponding to each backlight unit has 12 bits. The predetermined time for the backlight units to displaying a frame is divided into 6 sub-periods. Corresponding to the 6 sub-periods, the illuminating data of the 12 bits are divided into 6 sub-illuminating data. Each of the sub-illuminating data has 2 bits. At this time, the 6 sub-illuminating data has 4 data voltages of different voltage levels. That is, the sub-illuminating data could be 00, 01, 10 or 11, corresponding to 4 different data voltage V1, V2, V3 and V4 having different voltage levels.
The sub-period 1 has 20 secondary sub-period, the sub-period 2 has 21 secondary sub-periods, the sub-period 3 has 22 secondary sub-periods, etc . . . and the sub-period 6 has 25 secondary sub-periods.
Please refer to
In this embodiment, the sub-illuminating data corresponding to sub-period 1 having 20 secondary sub-period is 01 (the sub-illuminating data is the 0th bit and the 1st bit of the illuminating data DATA), the sub-illuminating data corresponding to sub-period 2 having 21 secondary sub-period is 10 (the sub-illuminating data is the 2nd bit and the 3rd bit of the illuminating data DATA), the sub-illuminating data corresponding to sub-period 3 having 22 secondary sub-period is 01 (the sub-illuminating data is the 4th bit and the 5th bit of the illuminating data DATA), etc . . . , and the sub-illuminating data corresponding to sub-period 6 having 25 secondary sub-period is 00 (the sub-illuminating data is the 10th bit and the 11th bit of the illuminating data DATA).
In the second input step S103, in the sub-period 1, the scan signal is inputted into the scan line corresponding to the backlight units for 20 times (once) such that the sub-illuminating data 01 corresponding to the sub-period 1 is inputted to the backlight units for once. In the sub-period 2, the scan signal is inputted into the scan line corresponding to the backlight units for 21 times (twice) such that the sub-illuminating data 10 corresponding to the sub-period 2 is inputted to the backlight units for twice. In the sub-period 3, the scan signal is inputted into the scan line corresponding to the backlight units for 22 times (4 times) such that the sub-illuminating data 01 corresponding to the sub-period 3 is inputted to the backlight units for 4 times, etc . . . . In the sub-period 6, the scan signal is inputted into the scan line corresponding to the backlight units for 25 times (32 times) such that the sub-illuminating data 00 corresponding to the sub-period 6 is inputted to the backlight units for 32 times.
In contrast to the conventional art, the present disclosure provides a display method. The display method is used in a display panel including a plurality of backlight units and a scan line and a data line electrically connected to the plurality of backlight units. The display method includes: obtaining a plurality of illuminating data corresponding to the plurality of backlight units, the plurality of illuminating data are configured for the plurality of backlight units to display a frame within a predetermined time period, wherein the predetermined time period is divided to a plurality of sub-periods, at least two of the sub-periods are not equal, the plurality of illuminating data include a plurality of sub-illuminating data corresponding to the plurality of sub-periods, and the plurality of sub-illuminating data correspond to data voltages of different voltage levels; inputting the plurality of illuminating data into the data lines; and when each of the plurality of the sub-periods begins, inputting a scan signal into the scan line to allow the plurality of backlight units to receive the plurality of sub-illuminating data. In the display method of the present disclosure, because at least two sub-periods have different time duration and the sub-illuminating data correspond to the data voltages of different voltage levels such that at least two sub-illuminating data of the illuminating data corresponding to each of the backlight unit are applied on the backlight units in different time durations. This could more accurately charge the backlight units under different gray values because time durations of at least two sub-periods are not equal such that the above-mentioned unsmooth transition between different gray values could be alleviated.

The obtaining module 11 is configured to obtain a plurality of illuminating data corresponding to the plurality of backlight units. The plurality of illuminating data are configured for the plurality of backlight units to display a frame within a predetermined time period. The predetermined time period is divided to a plurality of sub-periods. At least two of the sub-periods are not equal. The plurality of illuminating data include a plurality of sub-illuminating data corresponding to the plurality of sub-periods, and the plurality of sub-illuminating data correspond to data voltages of different voltage levels.
The first input module 12 is configured to input the plurality of illuminating data into the data lines.
The second input module 13 is configured to input a scan signal into the scan line to allow the plurality of backlight units to receive the plurality of sub-illuminating data when each of the plurality of the sub-periods begins.
The obtaining module 11 could obtain a plurality of illuminating data from a timing controller or a field programmable gate array (FPGA). In this embodiment, the illuminating data corresponding to each of the backlight units have A bits (that is, 0th bit to (A−1)th bit). Each of the A bits carries a binary datum 0 or 1. The 0th bit is the least significant bit and the (A−1)th bit is the most significant bit. At this time, each backlight unit includes 2A gray values. That is, each of the backlight units could generate light of 2A different luminance levels.
The predetermined time period for the backlight units to display a frame could be divided into B sub-periods. Corresponding to the B sub-periods, the illuminating data having A bits could be divided into B sub-illuminating data. Each of the B sub-illuminating data has A/B bits. Accordingly, the B sub-illuminating data have different data voltages of 2A/B different voltage levels.
In this embodiment, the lower bits have lower luminance contribution in each illuminating data and the higher bits have higher luminance contribution in each illuminating data when the backlight units display images. Therefore, the time duration of the lower bits should be applied for a shorter time period than that of the higher bits. In addition, because each of the illuminating data is outputted in an order from its lower bits to its higher bits, the time duration of the B sub-periods increases from its first sub-period to the Bth sub-period. In another embodiment, in each of the illuminating data, if the lower bits also have lower luminance contribution in each illuminating data and the higher bits also have higher luminance contribution, the time duration of B sub-periods could be divided as follows: the time duration of the sub-period corresponding to the sub-illuminating data of lower bits could be longer than the time duration of the sub-period corresponding to the sub-illuminating data of higher bits. For example, the first B/2 sub-periods could have the same time duration, the last B/2 sub-periods could have the same time duration, and the time duration of the first B/2 sub-periods is shorter than the time duration of the last B/2 sub-periods. Please note, the luminance contribution of each of the bits of the illuminating data could be obtained by the processor when the processor obtains each of the illuminating data.
On the other hand, in each of the illuminating data, if the lower bits also have higher luminance contribution in each illuminating data and the higher bits also have lower luminance contribution, the time duration of B sub-periods should be divided as follows: the time duration of the sub-period corresponding to the sub-illuminating data of lower bits could be shorter than the time duration of the sub-period corresponding to the sub-illuminating data of higher bits.
In each of the illuminating data, if the lower bits have lower luminance contribution in each illuminating data, the middle bits have middle luminance contribution, and the higher bits have higher luminance contribution, the time duration of B sub-periods should be divided as follows: the time duration of the sub-period corresponding to the sub-illuminating data of lower bits could be comparatively shorter, the time duration of the sub-period corresponding to the sub-illuminating data of middle bits could be comparatively middle, and the time duration of the sub-period corresponding to the sub-illuminating data of middle bits could be comparatively longer.
The processor divides the time duration of the sub-periods according to the luminance contribution of each of the bits in the illuminating data.
In this embodiment, the predetermined time is divided into a plurality of secondary sub-periods. The Nth sub-period of above-mentioned B sub-periods has 2N−1 secondary sub-periods.
The second input module 13 includes: a sub-field input unit configured to input the scan signal into the scan line at the beginning of each of the plurality of the secondary sub-periods of the Nth sub-period, so as to input the plurality of sub-illuminating data corresponding to the Nth sub-period to the plurality of backlight units 2N−1 times.
For example, each illuminating data corresponding to each backlight unit has 12 bits. The predetermined time for the backlight units to displaying a frame is divided into 6 sub-periods. Corresponding to the 6 sub-periods, the illuminating data of the 12 bits are divided into 6 sub-illuminating data. Each of the sub-illuminating data has 2 bits. At this time, the 6 sub-illuminating data has 4 data voltages of different voltage levels. That is, the sub-illuminating data could be 00, 01, 10 or 11, corresponding to 4 different data voltage V1, V2, V3 and V4 having different voltage levels.
The sub-period 1 has 20 secondary sub-period, the sub-period 2 has 21 secondary sub-periods, the sub-period 3 has 22 secondary sub-periods, etc . . . and the sub-period 6 has 25 secondary sub-periods.

In the sub-period 1, the scan signal is inputted into the scan line corresponding to the backlight units for 20 times (once) such that the sub-illuminating data 01 corresponding to the sub-period 1 is inputted to the backlight units for once.

As one type of motion sensor, a gravity acceleration sensor may detect magnitude of accelerations at various directions (which generally are triaxial), may detect magnitude and a direction of the gravity when static, and may be configured to identify an application of a mobile phone attitude (such as switching between horizontal and vertical screens, a related game, and attitude calibration of a magnetometer), a related function of vibration identification (such as a pedometer and a knock). Other sensors, such as a gyroscope, a barometer, a hygrometer, a thermometer, and an infrared sensor, which may be configured in the mobile terminal 100 are not further described herein.
The audio circuit 160, a loudspeaker 161, and a microphone 162 may provide audio interfaces between the user and the mobile terminal 100. The audio circuit 160 may transmit, to the loudspeaker 161, a received electric signal converted from received audio data. The loudspeaker 161 converts the electric signal into a sound signal for output. On the other hand, the microphone 162 converts a collected sound signal into an electric signal. The audio circuit 160 receives the electric signal and converts the electric signal into audio data, and outputs the audio data to the processor 180 for processing. Then, the processor 180 sends the audio data to, for example, another terminal by using the RF circuit 110, or outputs the audio data to the memory 120 for further processing. The audio circuit 160 may further include an carplug jack, so as to provide communication between a peripheral carphone and the mobile terminal 100.
