Description of Prior Art

A FREESYNC display panel refers to a display panel mounted with FREESYNC technology that dynamically adjusts a refresh rate of the display panel by changing an interval of a vertical blanking (VBlank) phase in a frame period of the display panel so that the refresh rate of the display panel matches a refresh rate of a video card, thereby solving a problem of screen tearing and fluctuation displayed on the display panel, and improving smoothness of the screen.

In order to more clearly describe the gamma voltage correction method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, an application scenario of the method is first described. Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a gamma voltage correction method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The application scenario is specifically a display device. The display device comprises:

The pixel PX shown in FIG. 1 is connected to the scan line SL1 (i is a positive integer) and the data line DLj (j is a positive integer). It should be noted that although FIG. 1 shows only one pixel, it should be understood that there is a corresponding pixel for each possible combination of the scan lines SL1 to SLn and the data lines DL1 to DLm.

It should be noted that the application scenario shown in FIG. 1 is not a limitation on the gamma voltage correction method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure. Other application scenarios similar to the application scenario, if the method can be implemented, can also be used as the application scenario of the method. Other application scenarios in which the method can be implemented are not specifically described in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

The gamma voltage correction method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is described in detail below in connection with the application scenario shown in FIG. 1. Referring to FIG. 2, which is a flowchart of a gamma voltage correction method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method is specifically applied to a gamma voltage correction device and is applied to a variable refresh rate mode of a display panel. It should be noted that the variable refresh rate mode of the display panel refers to a refresh rate switching mode, and the method comprises:

Step S1, pre-storing gamma voltage data, a plurality of vertical blanking intervals, and a refresh rate corresponding to each of the vertical blanking intervals, wherein the gamma voltage data comprises gamma voltages corresponding to a first refresh rate and a second refresh rate that are not equal to each other.

Specifically, gamma voltage data including gamma voltages respectively corresponding to two refresh rates different from each other of the display panel are stored in the gamma voltage correction device in advance. Wherein the two refresh rates are a first refresh rate and a second refresh rate, the first refresh rate is preferably the highest refresh rate of the display panel, the second refresh rate is preferably the lowest refresh rate of the display panel, and the gamma voltage corresponding to each refresh rate comprises a plurality of sub-gamma voltages corresponding to the plurality of gray scales of the display panel.

A period between the start of displaying one frame of image and the start of displaying the next frame of image is referred to as a frame period, which comprises a display phase and a vertical blanking phase. A refresh rate corresponding to an interval of a plurality of vertical blanking phases (i.e., a vertical blanking interval) and each vertical blanking interval is stored in the gamma voltage correction device in advance. It should be noted that the number of pre-stored vertical blanking intervals can be set according to actual conditions. If the number of pre-stored vertical blanking intervals is greater, the refresh rate stored in advance is larger, and the accuracy of the gamma voltage correction method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure is higher.

For ease of explanation, it is assumed that the variable refresh rate interval of the display panel is 50-120 Hz, the gray scale interval is 0-255 gray scales, the first refresh rate is 120 Hz, and the second refresh rate is 50 Hz. The gamma voltage corresponding to the first refresh rate 120 Hz comprises a sub-gamma voltage a0 corresponding to the gray scale 0 and a sub-gamma voltage a1 corresponding to the gray scale 1 . . . and a sub-gamma voltage a255 corresponding to the gray scale 255. The gamma voltage corresponding to the second refresh rate 50 Hz comprises a sub-gamma voltage b0 corresponding to the gray scale 0 and a sub-gamma voltage b1 corresponding to the gray scale 1 . . . and a sub-gamma voltage b255 corresponding to the gray scale 255. Assuming that the plurality of pre-stored vertical blanking intervals are 1, 2, 4, 7, 9, 12, 20, 30, and 45, respectively, the plurality of pre-stored vertical blanking intervals are 120 Hz, 110 Hz, 100 Hz, 90 Hz, 80 Hz, 70 Hz, 60 Hz, and 50 Hz, respectively. It should be noted that the values of the pre-stored gamma voltage data, the plurality of vertical blanking intervals, and the refresh rate corresponding to each vertical blanking interval are only one example and are not limited to the gamma voltage correction method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

Step S2: in the current frame period of the display panel, the interval of the vertical blanking phase in the current frame period is acquired in real time.

Specifically, the timing controller receives the image data input from the external source, and parses the data enable signal according to the image data. Referring to FIG. 3, two signals are shown, in which the signal located above is the data enable signal, and the data enable signal shows a plurality of frame periods of the display panel. In the current frame period of the display panel, the gamma voltage correction device takes the end time of the display phase in the current frame period as the start time, acquires the time difference between the current time and the start time in real time, and uses the time difference as the interval of the vertical blanking phase in the current frame period acquired in real time.

Step S3: each time the interval reaches one of the vertical blanking interval, determining a refresh rate corresponding to the interval as a candidate refresh rate, and if the candidate refresh rate is not equal to the first refresh rate and not equal to the second refresh rate, performing interpolation processing on the gamma voltage data based on an interpolation algorithm to obtain a gamma voltage corresponding to the candidate refresh rate.

Specifically, in the current frame period of the display panel, the gamma voltage correction device acquires the interval of the vertical blanking phase in the current frame period in real time. For example, referring to FIG. 3, two signals are shown, in which the signal located above is a data enable signal, and the signal located below shows a time point at which the gamma voltage is determined. The steps are described below in connection with the two signals in FIG. 3.

With the passage of time, the interval reaches a pre-stored vertical blanking interval 1 at time A, and a refresh rate 120 Hz corresponding to the vertical blanking interval 1 is used as a candidate refresh rate to determine whether the candidate refresh rate 120 Hz is equal to the first refresh rate 120 Hz or the second refresh rate 50 Hz. Since the candidate refresh rate 120 Hz is equal to the first refresh rate 120 Hz, a gamma voltage corresponding to the pre-stored first refresh rate 120 Hz is used as a gamma voltage corresponding to the candidate refresh rate 120 Hz at time A. With the passage of time, the interval reaches a pre-stored vertical blanking interval 2 at time B, and a refresh rate 110 Hz corresponding to the vertical blanking interval 2 is used as a candidate refresh rate to determine whether the candidate refresh rate 110 Hz is equal to the first refresh rate 120 Hz or the second refresh rate 50 Hz. Since the candidate refresh rate 110 Hz is not equal to the first refresh rate 120 Hz and is not equal to the second refresh rate 50 Hz, interpolation processing is performed on the gamma voltage corresponding to the first refresh rate 120 Hz and the gamma voltage corresponding to the second refresh rate 50 Hz based on the interpolation algorithm at the time B to obtain the gamma voltage corresponding to the candidate refresh rate 110 Hz. By analogy, details are not described herein.

It should be noted that the interpolation algorithm is preferably a linear interpolation method. Performing interpolation processing on the gamma voltage corresponding to the first refresh rate 120 Hz and the gamma voltage corresponding to the second refresh rate 50 Hz based on the interpolation algorithm to obtain the gamma voltage corresponding to the candidate refresh rate 110 Hz. Specifically, performing interpolation on the sub-gamma voltage a0 corresponding to the 120 Hz and the sub-gamma voltage b0 corresponding to the 50 Hz based on the interpolation algorithm to obtain the sub-gamma voltage c0 corresponding to the 110 Hz (corresponding to the gray scale 0). Interpolating the sub-gamma voltage a1 corresponding to 120 Hz and the sub-gamma voltage b1 corresponding to 50 Hz based on the interpolation algorithm to obtain the sub-gamma voltage c1 corresponding to 110 Hz (corresponding to gray scale 1). The sub-gamma voltage a255 corresponding to 120 Hz and the sub-gamma voltage b255 corresponding to 50 Hz are interpolated based on the interpolation algorithm to obtain the sub-gamma voltage c255 corresponding to 110 Hz (corresponding to the gray scale 255).

Step S4, using the candidate refresh rate determined last time as the target refresh rate, and using the gamma voltage corresponding to the target refresh rate as the gamma voltage of the display phase in the next frame period of the display panel.

Specifically, in the current frame period of the display panel, the gamma voltage correction device uses the last determined candidate refresh rate as the target refresh rate. For example, referring to FIG. 3, with the passage of time, the last determined candidate refresh rate is 100 Hz determined at time C (interval 4), 100 Hz is used as the target refresh rate, and the gamma voltage corresponding to 100 Hz is used as the gamma voltage of the display phase in the next frame period of the display panel, and the display phase in the next frame period of the display panel is corrected for brightness by the gamma voltage corresponding to 100 Hz.

According to the gamma voltage correction method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the variable refresh rate mode of the display panel, the refresh rate of the display panel and the gamma voltage corresponding to the refresh rate are continuously determined with the passage of time in the vertical blanking phase of the current frame period of the display panel, and the gamma voltage corresponding to the last acquired refresh rate is used as the gamma voltage of the display phase in the next frame period of the display panel, so that the gamma voltage of the display panel can be changed along with the change of the refresh rate in the display phase in the next frame period of the display panel, so that the brightness of the display panel before and after the refresh rate switching is uniform or nearly uniform, the occurrence of flickering phenomenon is prevented, and the display effect is improved. Further, since the interpolation algorithm is introduced into the method, the pre-stored gamma voltage data comprises only two refresh rates of the display panel and gamma voltages corresponding to the two refresh rates, so that the gamma voltages corresponding to refresh rates other than the two refresh rates can be obtained without storing the gamma voltages corresponding to refresh rates corresponding to each vertical blanking interval, thereby saving storage resources.

Based on the above embodiment, the gamma voltage correction method further comprises:

Using a gamma voltage corresponding to the first refresh rate as a gamma voltage corresponding to the candidate refresh rate if the candidate refresh rate is equal to the first refresh rate. Using a gamma voltage corresponding to the second refresh rate as a gamma voltage corresponding to the candidate refresh rate if the candidate refresh rate is equal to the second refresh rate.

Specifically, for example, with the passage of time, if the interval reaches the pre-stored vertical blanking interval 1, the refresh rate 120 Hz corresponding to the vertical blanking interval 1 is used as the candidate refresh rate, and whether the candidate refresh rate 120 Hz is equal to the first refresh rate 120 Hz or the second refresh rate 50 Hz is determined. Since the candidate refresh rate 120 Hz is equal to the first refresh rate 120 Hz, the gamma voltage corresponding to the pre-stored first refresh rate 120 Hz is used as the gamma voltage corresponding to the candidate refresh rate 120 Hz. If the interval reaches the pre-stored vertical blanking interval 45, the refresh rate 50 Hz corresponding to the vertical blanking interval 45 is used as the candidate refresh rate, and whether the candidate refresh rate 50 Hz is equal to the first refresh rate 120 Hz or the second refresh rate 50 Hz is determined. Since the candidate refresh rate 50 Hz is equal to the second refresh rate 50 Hz, the gamma voltage corresponding to the pre-stored second refresh rate 50 Hz is used as the gamma voltage corresponding to the candidate refresh rate 50 Hz.

Based on the above embodiment, in the current frame period of the display panel, the interval of the vertical blanking phase in the current frame period is obtained in real time, specifically comprising:

In the current frame period of the display panel, an end time of the display phase in the current frame period is used as a start time, and a time difference between the start time and the current time is used as the interval.

Specifically, in the current frame period of the display panel, the end time of the display phase in the current frame period is taken as the start time, and the time difference between the current time and the start time is obtained in real time as the interval of the vertical blanking phase in the current frame period obtained in real time.

Based on the above embodiment, each time the interval reaches one of the vertical blanking intervals, a refresh rate corresponding to the interval is determined, specifically comprising:

Each time the interval reaches one of the vertical blanking intervals, a refresh rate corresponding to the vertical blanking interval is used as a refresh rate corresponding to the interval.
