When the PMIC power supply outputs the same voltage and the same data signals, an area of the white image is smaller than an entire display area, and the luminous brightness of the central point is higher. When the proportion of the white image area to the entire display area is 10%, the luminous brightness of the central point of the display screen is the highest. When the AMOLED display device displays dark-state (low brightness) images, the AMOLED display device may consume a lower luminous current value. An equivalent resistance in the display panel become larger. A resistance of peripheral circuits does not change. A voltage drop of the circuit becomes smaller. As such, the driving voltage received by the OLED may increase. When the data voltage of the OLED is a constant, the luminous current and the luminous brightness may increase. Therefore, when the PMIC power supply outputs the same driving voltage, bright-state areas may become even brighter under the dark-state images. However, the AMOLED display device does not require this high brightness, which may result in an unnecessary power consuming, and may increase a risk of burning in the bright-state areas.

In one example, the controller may determine whether the proportion corresponding to each of the color channels has changed. When the proportion corresponding to each of the color channels has changed, the driving voltage is maintained to be the same. When the proportion corresponding to each of the color channels has not been changed, the driving voltage may require to be adjusted. The proportion corresponding to each of the color channels has not been changed, which indicates the proportions of the red color channel, the green color channel, and the blue color channel have not been changed.

A first predetermined displaying brightness of all of the red-colored sub-pixels may be determined according to the grayscale value of all the sub-pixels corresponding to the red color channel. A second predetermined displaying brightness of all of the green-colored sub-pixels may be determined according to the grayscale value of all the sub-pixels corresponding to the green color channel. A third predetermined displaying brightness of all of the blue-colored sub-pixels may be determined according to the grayscale value of all the sub-pixels corresponding to the blue color channel. The theoretical current value may be calculated according to the following formula.
Luminous efficiency=Luminous energy/Power consuming (2)

The second determining module 3016 is configured to determine the first voltage value is the target driving voltage value, when the first voltage value exists in the driving voltage mapping table,
The fourth calculator 3017 is configured to calculate the target current value corresponding to the target proportion, and to calculate the driving voltage value according to the target current value according to the predetermined interpolation formula, when the first voltage value does not exist in the driving voltage mapping table
In view of the above, the controller is configured to obtain the display data stored within the RAM. The display data may include the first displaying data field obtained from the RAM at the first moment and the second displaying data field obtained from the RAM at the second moment, The first moment is earlier than the second moment. The controller is configured to calculate the first proportion group corresponding to each of the color channels in the display images of the AMOLED display panel at the first moment and the second proportion group corresponding to each of the color channels in the display images of the AMOLED display panel at the second moment according to the display data. The color channels may include the red color channel, the green color channel, and the blue color channel. The controller is configured to determine whether the first proportion group and the second proportion group are the same. If the first proportion group is the same with the second proportion group, it may indicate that he proportion of each of the color channels in the display images of the AMOLED display panel has not been changed during the specified time period. The controller is configured to calculate a theoretical current value corresponding to a target color channel to maintain a predetermined display brightness according to the second displaying data field. The target color channel may be any one of the red color channel, the green color channel, and the blue color channel. The controller is configured to obtain the actual current value transmitted by the current detector. The actual current value corresponds to the target color channel in the AMOLED display panel at the second moment. The comparator is configured to compare the actual current value with the theoretical current value. The controller is configured to search the first voltage value corresponding to the target proportion from the predetermined driving voltage mapping table when the actual current value is greater than the theoretical current value, wherein the target proportion corresponds to the target color channel. The controller is configured to determine the first voltage value to be the target driving voltage value when the first voltage value exists in the driving voltage mapping table. The controller is configured to calculate the target current value corresponding to the target proportion according to the predetermined interpolation formula, and calculating the driving voltage value according to the target current value, when the first voltage value does not exist in the driving voltage mapping table. The controller is further configured to adjust the driving voltage provided by the PMIC power supply to the target drive voltage, so as to drive the AMOLED display panel to operate according to the target drive voltage. Such that the theoretical current value required by the display screen may be calculated. The actual current value may be detected by the current detector. According to the proportion of each of color channels in the display images of the AMOLED display panel, the driving voltage outputted by the PMIC power supply may be adjusted. As such, the display brightness of the AMOLED display panel may be adjusted according to the display content, the display performance may not be affected, the power g may be reduced by reducing the driving voltage, and the problem of fast wear of the OLEDs of the bright-state area due to the over brightness of the bright-state resulting from too many dark-state areas in some of the display images may be avoided. So as to reduce a risk of burning at the bright-state area due to the over brightness.
