Description of the Related Art
Currently, AMOLED (Active-Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) display screen is widely applied in more and more electronic products due to its characteristics such as bright colors, high contrast, faster response, more energy conservation and the like. This is because the AMOLED display screen is of current-driving type, and includes a driving TFT which has an operating point located within a linear region of its transfer characteristic curve and thus has a narrower operating voltage range, such that the AMOLED is very sensitive to a change in a data voltage and a change of voltage small as several millivolts will be presented on display of the display module, Thus gamma correction is required for each display module. During manufacturing the AMOLED, however, the gamma correction of the display module is still an important factor to limit its production efficiency. In an existing gamma correction method for the AMOLED product, optical parameters such as brightness, chromaticity coordinates or the like of respective gray scale associated points are adjusted to target brightness and target chromaticity coordinates. However, there are up to dozens of associated points in the current display module with high resolution screen, thus the gamma correction needs to be performed for a long time, adversely affecting the production efficiency.
To sum up, in conventional gamma correction methods in prior arts, generally, optical parameters such as brightness, chromaticity coordinates or the like of respective gray scale associated points are respectively adjusted to target brightness and target chromaticity coordinates, so that the gamma correction needs to be performed for a display module including a larger number of associated points for a long time.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a gamma correction method and a gamma correction device for a display module, for decreasing the time for the gamma correction of the display module with a larger number of associated points. The illustrative embodiments of the present application will be explained with reference the attached drawings. It should be understood that the illustrative embodiments described herein are only intended to explain and interpret the present application, rather than limiting the present application. The embodiments and the features of the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other, without being conflicted with each other.
As shown in
step 101: determining, for each sub-pixel of a display module to be corrected, the corresponding highest data voltage after the gamma correction of the highest gray scale of the display module, and the corresponding lowest data voltage after the gamma correction of the lowest gray scale of the display module;
step 102: determining at least one set of alternative gamma register values that are capable of performing gamma correction of the display module based on the determined highest data voltage and lowest data voltage, at least one set of preset gamma register value corresponding to the display module, and a correspondence between gamma register values and gamma voltage curves in a history data;
step 103: determining at least one set of gamma register values to be corrected for respective gray scales before the gamma correction of the display module based on the determined at least one set of alternative gamma register values and target gamma curves for the gamma correction of the display module; and
step 104: performing gamma correction of the display module by adjusting the gamma register value corresponding to the gray scale to be corrected which needs to perform gamma correction based on any of the determined at least one set of gamma register values to be corrected and the target gamma curves.
The gamma correction described in the present disclosure is a process during production of the display module; in a conventional gamma correction method, values of brightness and chromaticity coordinates are tested and adjusted for respective associated points in accordance with a certain sequence. Physical variables to which the adjustments are made comprise brightness and chromaticity coordinates, so the gamma correction needs to be performed for a display module including a larger number of associated points for a long time.
In the present disclosure, a relation characteristic between brightness and a data voltage of the display module is utilized, such that brightness and chromaticity coordinates for the highest gray scale and the lowest gray scale are adjusted to target values, and the highest data voltage and the lowest data voltage are determined as reference voltages for other gray scale gamma voltages, and then one set of empirical data, which is most consistent with product specifications is selected from a plurality of sets of empirical data by testing other gray scales. As such, the gamma correction process may be finished quickly, improving production efficiency.
In an implementation, with the gamma correction method for a display module according to embodiments of present disclosure, the display module to be gamma corrected may be an AMOLED display screen, or may be other display screens which need to perform gamma correction. The gamma correction is intended to adjust the brightness and chroma of the display module to target values; in general, the brightness is adjusted in accordance with a curve with a gamma value of 2.2, while the chroma is adjusted as required by a user. R, G and B data voltages corresponding to respective gray scales are generally adjusted such that optical parameters of the display module such as brightness, chromaticity coordinates and the like are adjusted to corresponding target values. Since the gamma correction methods are the same for respective sub-pixels R, G, B of the display module to be corrected, specific steps of the gamma correction method will be described in detail herein.
In order to decrease the time as taken for the gamma correction, the gamma correction method provided according to embodiments of the present disclosure is performed to enable adjustment of a gamma curve of the display module to be corrected to a target curve by use of relation characteristic between the brightness and the data voltage of the AMOLED display module and similarity among gamma voltage curves of products of the same type, which will be described in detail hereinafter.
In an implementation, it is necessary to adjust brightness and chromaticity coordinates of the highest gray scale and the lowest gray scale of the display module to be corrected to target values, so as to determine the highest data voltage and the lowest data voltage as reference voltages for other gray scale gamma voltages. In an example, the step 101 comprises: adjusting, respectively, brightness and chromaticity coordinates corresponding to the highest gray scale of the display module to preset first target brightness and preset first target chromaticity coordinates for gamma correction the highest gray scale of the display module, and determining the highest data voltage corresponding to the highest gray scale of the display module after the adjusting.
Further, in an implementation, generally, the brightness of the highest gray scale is required by the product specifications, and the brightness of other gray scales may be calculated through a brightness formula in prior arts; it is often required that chroma target values for respective gray scales are identical. Gamma correction of the highest gray scale L255 of the display module to be corrected is needed, such that brightness and chromaticity coordinates of the L255 are adjusted to corresponding preset target values (i.e., preset first target brightness and preset first target chromaticity coordinates), and the highest data voltage corresponding to the gray scale L255 of the display module after the adjusting is determined and may be used as the highest reference voltage for all gray scale gamma voltages.
Further, in an example, the step 101 further comprises: adjusting, respectively, the brightness and the chromaticity coordinates corresponding to the lowest gray scale of the display module to a preset second target brightness and preset second target chromaticity coordinates for gamma correction the lowest gray scale of the display module, and determining the lowest data voltage corresponding to the lowest gray scale of the display module after the adjusting. Gamma correction of the lowest gray scale L0 of the display module to be corrected is needed, such that brightness and chromaticity coordinates of the L0 are adjusted to corresponding preset target values (i.e., preset second target brightness and preset second target chromaticity coordinates), and the lowest data voltage corresponding to the gray scale L0 of the display module after the adjusting is determined and may be used as the lowest reference voltage for all gray scale gamma voltages.
For example, taking the highest gray scale L255 as an example, the gamma correction process includes transmitting gamma register values corresponding sub-pixels R, G, B of the highest gray scale L255 by a computer to a driver IC of the display module via a lighting-up machine. Corresponding data voltages are outputted from the driver IC and are applied to the display module with corresponding display of brightness and chroma thereon, and the brightness and chroma are measured and compared to the target brightness and chroma of the highest gray scale L255; then, the gamma register value of the highest gray scale L255 is adjusted and sent to the driver IC so as to drive the display module, which renders changes in brightness and chroma until the brightness and chroma reach target values. In an example, detection apparatuses and operations used in the present disclosure are similar to those in the gamma correction in prior arts, including, for example, apparatuses such as the lighting-up machine, a color analyzer and the like used in the gamma correction process, and thus will be not repeatedly described here. The core idea is to use commonalities among products of the same type to improve production efficiency.
In the present disclosure, the preset first target brightness, the preset first target chromaticity coordinates, the preset second target brightness and the preset second target chromaticity coordinates described above are only intended to be differentiated from each other and do not include particular meanings, but rather, all represent brightness and chromaticity coordinates, that is, the preset first target brightness may have a different value from the preset second target brightness, and the preset first target chromaticity coordinates may also have different values from the preset second target chromaticity coordinates.
In an implementation, after determining the highest data voltage and the lowest data voltage, a gamma register value which conforms to the specifications of the display module may be selected from the historical data based on the highest data voltage and the lowest data voltage, the historical data is in advance obtained by recording a set of gamma register values corresponding to each of display modules which are of the same type and have the same specifications as the display module to be corrected after gamma correction, that is, includes several sets of gamma register values stored in a historical database, and corresponding gamma voltage curves may be calculated from respective sets of gamma register values. Thus, at least one set of alternative gamma register values which enables gamma correction of the display module may be determined based on the determined highest data voltage and the lowest data voltage, several sets of preset gamma register value of the historical data corresponding to the display module, and a correspondence between gamma register values and gamma voltage curves. In the following, determination of the alternative gamma register values will be described in detail.
In an example, the step 102 comprises: selecting, as the alternative gamma register values for the gamma correction of the display module, at least one set of gamma register values in which a difference between a data voltage corresponding to the highest gray scale and the highest data voltage is less than a first preset threshold and a difference between a data voltage corresponding to the lowest gray scale and the lowest data voltage is less than a second preset threshold.
In an implementation, selecting the alternative gamma register values is specified to select, from the historical data, a set of gamma data in which the gamma register values of the highest gray scale and the lowest gray scale are identical with each other, or to select gamma register values in which a data voltage corresponding to the highest gray scale comparatively approximates to the highest data voltage (i.e., a difference between the data voltage corresponding to the highest gray scale and the highest data voltage is less than a first preset threshold), and a data voltage corresponding to the lowest gray scale comparatively approximates to the lowest data voltage (i.e., a difference between the data voltage corresponding to the lowest gray scale and the lowest data voltage is less than a second preset threshold). In an example, what is stored in the historical database is gamma register values of the driver IC of the display module, and the alternative gamma register values are selected with the gamma voltage curves calculated from the gamma register values as reference by comparing the highest data voltage with the lowest data voltage.
It is noted the selected alternative gamma register values includes sets of data, thus at least five sets of gamma register values need to be selected such that the selected gamma register values are more approximate to real gamma register values corresponding to the display module to be corrected. In an example, the at least one set of alternative gamma register values includes at least five sets of alternative gamma register values.
After determining the at least five sets of alternative gamma register values based on the highest data voltage and the lowest data voltage of the display module, it is also necessary to test parameters such as brightness, chromaticity coordinates and the like of other gray scales such that at least one set of the gamma register values which enable the brightness and the chromaticity of the other gray scales closest to the target values is selected from the five sets of alternative gamma register values. In an example, step 103 may particularly comprise: inputting all numerical values of each determined set of the alternative gamma register values into the display module, detecting current brightness and current chromaticity coordinates corresponding to at least one preset gray scale to be detected of the display module when inputting each set of the alternative gamma register values, and determining at least one set of gamma register values to be corrected for respective gray scales before the gamma correction of the display module based on detected sets of the current brightness and the current chromaticity coordinates and target brightness and target chromaticity coordinates corresponding to the gray scale to be detected in the target gamma curve.
In an implementation, all numerical values of each of the determined sets of the alternative gamma register values are inputted into the display module, and current brightness and current chromaticity coordinates corresponding to a particular gray scale (i.e., at least one preset gray scale to be detected) of the display module to be corrected may be detected by a color analyzer or other test instruments when inputting each set of alternative gamma register values and are compared to target brightness and target chromaticity coordinates corresponding to the gray scale on the target gamma curve for the gamma correction of the display module such that one or more sets of gamma register values to be corrected may be determined for respective gray scales before the gamma correction of the display module.
It is noted that the gray scale to be detected may include one or more gray scales which are randomly selected and will not be limited herein, as long as a set of values to be comparatively approximate to the target values can be selected from the five sets of alternative gamma register values. In an example, the gray scale to be detected is the intermediate gray scale L128.
After one or more sets of gamma register values to be corrected have been determined for respective gray scales before the gamma correction of the display module, the gamma correction of the display module may be performed in accordance with the gamma register values to be corrected and the target gamma curves.
In an example, the step 104 may particularly comprise: inputting all numerical values of any of the determined at least one set of gamma register values to be corrected into the display module, detecting current brightness and current chromaticity coordinates corresponding to a plurality of gray scales to be corrected, which needs to perform gamma correction, of the display module, and adjusting the detected current brightness and the current chromaticity coordinates to the target brightness and target chromaticity coordinates corresponding to the gray scale to be corrected in the target gamma curve by adjusting the gamma register value corresponding to the gray scale to be corrected.
After selecting the at least one set of gamma register values, a gamma curve of the display module is tested and compared to a target gamma curve, that is, a set of gamma register values are inputted to display module and are detected and tested; a gamma register value for a gray scale needs to be finely adjusted if it is offset on terms of its target value (i.e., does not meet the product specifications). The target values described herein include brightness and chromaticity coordinates of the gray scale at the associated point, and what is adjusted is the gamma register value of IC corresponding to the gray scale. The gamma correction is finished if the gamma register values meet the product specifications. As such, adjustment of optical parameters of the display module to be corrected is quickly completed. With the gamma correction method provided according to embodiments of the present disclosure, the time required for the gamma correction can be greatly reduced.
It is noted that the fine adjustment finally made to the gamma correction of the gray scale generally relates to adjustment for a low gray scale, including arithmetic adjustment (i.e., adjustments for L0, L16, L32, etc.), or adjustment for a gray scale which has a larger difference relative to the target gamma curve.
After finishing the gamma correction, a corrected set of gamma register values may be saved as historical gamma register values, for example, stored in a historical database. In an example, after the step 104, the method further comprises: saving a set of gamma register values corresponding to the display module after the gamma correction, as reference alternative gamma register values for next gamma correction of a display module which is of the same type as the current display module. The data in the historical database includes gamma register values are obtained after fine adjustment of the gamma correction, that is, includes data which is generated historically for corresponding display modules and completely conforms to the product specifications of the display modules.
In order to more clearly describe the whole process of the gamma correction method for a display module according to embodiments of the present disclosure, there is provided an overall flow chart schematically showing a gamma correction method for a display module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in
