The present disclosure relates to the field of display technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for adjusting a brightness of a display.
A display usually works at a fixed frequency, for example, a most common frequency of 120 Hz. In some particular situations, such as a game mode, the display is usually required to display at a variable refresh rate (VRR). For a display having a VRR technology, a highest frame and a lowest frame have a same charging time but different blanking times. Since a frame at a low frame rate has a longer duration, a blanking time thereof is longer than that at a high frame rate. An excessively long blanking time aggravates the impact of panel leakage, resulting in reduction of the overall brightness of the panel. If the display is switched between different frequencies within a short time, a difference between brightnesses at different frequencies causes serious panel flicker.

If the display is switched between different frequencies within a short time, a difference between brightnesses at different frequencies causes serious panel flicker.

Referring to
S101: Acquiring a gray scale number for displaying and a working frequency for displaying of a display screen.
The gray scale number for displaying is a gray scale number required for displaying a picture on the display screen, and the working frequency is a refresh rate required by the display screen for displaying, such as 60 Hz. That is to say, the display screen is required to be controlled to display the gray scale number for displaying at the working frequency.
It is to be noted that, the display screen may currently display no pictures. In this case, the display screen is directly adjusted to display the gray scale number for displaying at the working frequency. The display screen may also currently be displaying pictures at a certain frequency. The certain frequency may be same or different from the working frequency. If the certain frequency is different from the working frequency, the display is required to be switched to a different frequency.
S102: Determining a first gray scale compensation value of a preset calibration area of the display screen according to the gray scale number for displaying and the working frequency using a preset gray scale compensation mapping table, wherein gray scale numbers and gray scale compensation values of the preset calibration area at working frequency nodes in the preset gray scale compensation mapping table are in a one-to-one correspondence.
Gray scale numbers in the gray scale compensation mapping table at different working frequencies have respective gray scale compensation values. By virtue of the gray scale numbers and the gray scale compensation values at the different working frequencies, the brightness of the display can reach a preset brightness at all of the frequencies. Therefore, the brightness does not change when the display is switched between different working frequencies. In this way, no flicker occurs on a panel. It is to be noted that, the preset brightness may be set according to using habits of a user, which is not limited in detail in the present embodiment. However, the display has a highest brightness when working at a maximum allowed frequency. In order to facilitate gray scale compensation and stability of the brightness of the display screen, the preset brightness may be set as a brightness corresponding to the gray scale numbers at the highest working frequency of the display screen. That is to say, the gray scale numbers are not required to be compensated when the display screen is at the highest working frequency.
A setting range of the working frequency in the gray scale compensation mapping table is from a lowest frequency to a highest frequency supported by the display, for example, from 60 Hz to 120 Hz. The gray scale numbers are gray scale numbers supported by the display, for example, ranging from 0 gray scales to 255 gray scales. In the gray scale compensation mapping table, gray scale numbers corresponding to each working frequency correspond to a group of gray scale compensation values at the working frequency. However, when the range from the lowest frequency to the highest frequency supported by the display is relatively large, in order to reduce early calibration, the gray scale compensation mapping table provides the gray scale compensation values of the gray scale numbers at only some of the working frequencies, that is to say, only some of the working frequency nodes are selectively calibrated. The gray scale compensation values of the gray scale numbers at the working frequencies of remaining non-working frequency nodes may be obtained by means of interpolation. For example, gray scale compensation values of gray scale numbers at working frequency nodes of 60 Hz, 80 Hz, 100 Hz, and 120 Hz are configured in the gray scale compensation mapping table. More working frequency nodes bring finer compensation.
As the working frequency decrease, a corresponding gray scale is required to be increased to maintain the brightness of the display. For example, a brightness corresponding to a gray scale L127 at 120 Hz is 70 nits. In order to maintain 70 nits at 48 Hz, an output gray scale is required to be compensated to L133, that is, compensated by 5 gray scales. In other words, the gray scale compensation value corresponding to the gray scale L127 at the working frequency node of 48 Hz is 5.
The gray scale compensation values are determined in the following manner. A target gray scale number is outputted at a selected target frequency. The target frequency is any frequency within the range from the lowest frequency to the highest frequency supported by the display. For example, if the range from the lowest frequency to the highest frequency supported by the display is 60 Hz to 120 Hz, the target frequency may be any frequency from 60 Hz to 120 Hz. The target gray scale number is any of the gray scale numbers supported by the display. For example, if the gray scale numbers supported by the display range from 0 gray scales to 255 gray scales, the target gray scale number may be any gray scale number from 0 to 255 gray scales. It is to be noted that, although any target frequency and any target gray scale number are selected to describe a process of acquiring a corresponding gray scale compensation value, gray scale compensation values of all target frequencies and target gray scale numbers are acquired in a same manner as follows.
If a brightness during display of the target gray scale number is same as the preset brightness or a difference between the brightness during display of the target gray scale number and the preset brightness is within a preset error range, gray scale compensation is not required for the target gray scale number at the selected target frequency. That is to say, the gray scale compensation value is 0. The target gray scale number is directly outputted at the target frequency. Otherwise, gray scale compensation is required. The brightness of the display is adjusted to the preset brightness, and a required gray scale number is used as the gray scale compensation value corresponding to the target gray scale number.
The manner of determining the gray scale compensation values is described using an example that the preset brightness is the brightness corresponding to the gray scale numbers at the highest working frequency of the display screen. If the target frequency is the highest working frequency of the display screen, the gray scale compensation value of the target gray scale number is 0. For example, a highest refresh rate supported by the display is 120 Hz. When the selected target frequency is 120 Hz and the target gray scale number is L127, the gray scale compensation value in the gray scale compensation mapping table corresponding to the target gray scale number L127 is 0. That is to say, when L127 is required to be displayed at 120 Hz, L127 may be directly outputted without compensation on the basis of L127. If the target frequency is not the highest working frequency of the display screen, the brightness of the display is adjusted to the brightness corresponding to the target gray scale number at the highest working frequency. For example, the highest refresh rate supported by the display is 120 Hz. When the selected target frequency is 48 Hz and the target gray scale number is L127, the brightness of L127 at 48 Hz is lower than that of L127 at 120 Hz. Therefore, L127 cannot be directly outputted at 48 Hz. Instead, gray scale compensation is required to be performed. When the brightness of the display is adjusted to be same as that of L127 at 120 Hz, the gray scale number is L132, the target frequency is 48 Hz, and the gray scale compensation value corresponding to the target gray scale number of L127 is 5. That is to say, when L127 is required to be displayed at 48 Hz, L132 is actually outputted, and 5 gray scales are required to be compensated on the basis of L127. In order to avoid a change of the brightness during frequency switching when the display screen displays any gray scale number for displaying at any working frequency, the target gray scale numbers at all of the target frequencies are adjusted to a same preset brightness during display.
It is to be noted that, due to a process difference, the gray scale compensation values at different in-plane positions of the display vary. Therefore, compensation for sub-areas is required. The display screen is divided into the preset calibration area and a non-preset calibration area. Similarly, in order to reduce the early calibration, only the gray scale compensation values of pixel points in the preset calibration area are calibrated. The gray scale compensation values of pixel points in the non-preset calibration area may be acquired according to the gray scale compensation values of the pixel points in the preset calibration area. Therefore, determining the gray scale compensation values of the gray scale numbers for displaying at the working frequencies according to the preset gray scale compensation mapping table actually means determining the gray scale compensation values corresponding to the gray scale numbers for displaying of the preset calibration area at the working frequencies.
In the present embodiment, the preset brightness is set as the brightness corresponding to the gray scale numbers at the highest working frequency of the display screen. That is to say, the brightness at the highest working frequency is used as a reference. When the display is working at a low frequency, a picture brightness is compensated, so that the display maintains a same brightness regardless of the working frequency. Therefore, changes in the brightness during the frequency switching are avoided.
In an embodiment, this step includes steps as follows: S201: If the working frequency is one of the working frequency nodes in the gray scale compensation mapping table, determining the first gray scale compensation value of the preset calibration area of the display screen according to the gray scale number for displaying, the working frequency, and the gray scale compensation mapping table.
In detail, when the range from the lowest frequency to the highest frequency supported by the display is relatively large, in order to reduce early calibration and reduce required storage resources, the gray scale compensation mapping table provides the gray scale compensation values of the gray scale numbers at only some of the working frequencies, that is to say, only some of the working frequency nodes are selectively calibrated. For example, the gray scale compensation values of the gray scale numbers at the working frequency nodes of 60 Hz, 80 Hz, 100 Hz, and 120 Hz are configured in the gray scale compensation mapping table. If the working frequency is one of the working frequency nodes in the gray scale compensation mapping table, for example, the working frequency is 60 Hz, the first gray scale compensation value of the preset calibration area may be directly queries from the gray scale compensation mapping table.
In an embodiment, this step includes steps as follows: S301: If the working frequency is not one of the working frequency nodes in the gray scale compensation mapping table, determining a first working frequency node and a second working frequency node in the gray scale compensation mapping table adjacent to the working frequency. S302: Acquiring a third gray scale compensation value of the preset calibration area according to the first working frequency node. S303: Acquiring a fourth gray scale compensation value of the preset calibration area of the display screen according to the second working frequency node. S304: Determining the first gray scale compensation value according to the third gray scale compensation value and the fourth gray scale compensation value.
The working frequency nodes may be freely set, as long as it is ensured that the gray scale compensation values of the gray scale numbers at the working frequencies not included in the gray scale compensation mapping table can be obtained by analyzing the gray scale compensation values of other gray scale numbers. Therefore, the gray scale compensation values of the gray scale numbers at all of the working frequencies can be acquired. According to an analyzed law of the gray scale compensation values, the gray scale compensation values of the gray scale numbers at the working frequencies conforming to an interpolation law are omitted in the gray scale compensation mapping table. Therefore, the working frequency nodes are set at intervals. A value of each interval may be fixed. For example, the working frequency nodes in the gray scale compensation mapping table may be successively 48 Hz, 54 Hz, 60 Hz, and so on. Alternatively, the value of the each interval may be random. For example, the working frequency nodes in the gray scale compensation mapping table are successively 48 Hz, 50 Hz, 60 Hz, and so on. In addition, similar to the working frequency nodes set at intervals, the gray scale numbers at each working frequency node may also be set at intervals. The gray scale numbers that are not calibrated are also interpolated according to the gray scale compensation values corresponding to the adjacent gray scale numbers.
If the working frequency is not one of the working frequency nodes in the gray scale compensation mapping table, the first gray scale compensation value may be determined according to the gray scale compensation values of the gray scale numbers at the adjacent working frequency nodes in the gray scale compensation mapping table. The first working frequency node and the second working frequency node in the gray scale compensation mapping table adjacent to the working frequency are first determined. For example, if the working frequency is 70 Hz, it may be determined from the above gray scale compensation mapping table that the first working frequency node is 60 Hz and the second working frequency node is 80 Hz. Then, the third gray scale compensation value and the fourth gray scale compensation value of the gray scale number for displaying of the preset calibration area at the first working frequency node and the second working frequency node are respectively acquired according to the gray scale compensation mapping table. Finally, the first gray scale compensation value is determined according to the third gray scale compensation value and the fourth gray scale compensation value, for example, using a bilinear interpolation, which is not limited in detail in the present embodiment.
In an embodiment, before step S101 of acquiring the gray scale number for displaying and the working frequency for displaying of the display screen, the method includes the following steps. S401: Dividing pixel points of the display screen into the preset calibration area and the non-preset calibration area, wherein the non-preset calibration area includes a first type of non-preset calibration area and a second type of non-preset calibration area, the first type of non-preset calibration area is located between two preset calibration areas, and end points of the second type of non-preset calibration area are end points of different preset calibration areas respectively.
In detail, due to a process difference, the gray scale compensation values at different in-plane positions in a surface of the display also vary. Therefore, compensation for sub-areas is required. In order to reduce the early calibration, only the gray scale compensation values of the pixel points of partial areas in the display are calibrated. An area in which the gray scale compensation values are calibrated is defined as the preset calibration area. Therefore, the display screen is divided into the preset calibration area and the non-preset calibration area. The gray scale compensation values of the pixel points in the non-preset calibration area are obtained by interpolating the gray scale compensation values of the pixel points in the preset calibration area. Shapes of the preset calibration area and the non-preset calibration area may be triangles, rectangles, polygons, or the like, which are not limited in detail in the present embodiment.
In order to ensure that the gray scale compensation values of the non-preset calibration area can be obtained by interpolating the gray scale compensation values of the preset calibration area, each boundary of the non-preset calibration area is located between at most two preset calibration areas. The non-preset calibration area includes the first type of non-preset calibration area and the second type of non-preset calibration area. The first type of non-preset calibration area is located between the two preset calibration areas. The end points of the second type of non-preset calibration area are the end points of the different preset calibration areas respectively. The gray scale compensation values of the pixel points in the first type of non-preset calibration area and the second type of non-preset calibration area can be uniquely determined using the gray scale compensation values of the pixel points of the preset calibration area. As shown in
Further, each of the preset calibration areas includes a plurality of pixel points. The first gray scale compensation values corresponding to the plurality of pixel points in one preset calibration area have a little difference within a preset range. Therefore, the preset calibration area is set as one pixel unit. The pixel points in one preset calibration area correspond to one first gray scale compensation value. Correspondingly, the pixel points in the first type of non-preset calibration area located between the two preset calibration areas are in a long line shape. Only one pixel unit is present in a corresponding vertical direction. As shown in
S103: Determining a second gray scale compensation value of the non-preset calibration area of the display screen according to the first gray scale compensation value.
In detail, the gray scale compensation values of the pixel points in the non-preset calibration area are obtained by interpolating the gray scale compensation values of the pixel points in the preset calibration area. Therefore, the second gray scale compensation value of the non-preset calibration area of the display screen is determined according to the first gray scale compensation value.
In an embodiment, this step includes steps as follows: S501: Determining a second gray scale compensation value of each pixel point in the first type of non-preset calibration area according to the first gray scale compensation values of the two preset calibration areas adjacent to the first type of non-preset calibration area.
In detail, when the non-preset calibration area is the first type of non-preset calibration area, since the pixel points in the first type of non-preset calibration area extend only between the two adjacent preset calibration areas, the second gray scale compensation value of the each pixel point in the first type of non-preset calibration area is determined according to the first gray scale compensation values of the two preset calibration areas adjacent to the first type of non-preset calibration area.
As shown in
In an embodiment, this step includes steps as follows: S601: Determining a second gray scale compensation value of each pixel point in the second type of non-preset calibration area according to first gray scale compensation values of four preset calibration areas sharing end points with the second type of non-preset calibration area.
In detail, when the non-preset calibration area is the second type of non-preset calibration area, since the end points of the second type of non-preset calibration area respectively belong to different preset calibration areas, the second gray scale compensation value of the each pixel point in the second type of non-preset calibration area is determined according to the first gray scale compensation values of the plurality of preset calibration areas sharing the end points with the second type of non-preset calibration area.
As shown in
For ease of understanding, examples are provided below, which should not be construed as a limitation to the present embodiment. As shown in
In an embodiment, this step includes steps as follows: S701: Determining a second positive polarity compensation value of the non-preset calibration area of the display screen according to a first positive polarity compensation value, wherein the first gray scale compensation value includes the first positive polarity compensation value and a first negative polarity compensation value, and the second gray scale compensation value includes the second positive polarity compensation value and a second negative polarity compensation value. S702: Determining the second negative polarity compensation value of the non-preset calibration area of the display screen according to the first negative polarity compensation value.
During actual panel designing, Vcom voltages at different positions deviate. A position closer to an edge position brings a larger deviation. In this case, a positive polarity brightness and a negative polarity brightness corresponding to one gray scale may be different. For example, at a position having a deviated Vcom voltage, the positive polarity brightness of L126 is same as the negative polarity brightness of L128, aggravating the flicker during the frequency switching. Therefore, compensation is required to be performed on the display for the positive polarity brightness and the negative polarity brightness by using a group of gray scale compensation values separately.
In detail, the gray scale compensation mapping table includes a positive polarity compensation value and a negative polarity compensation value. Determining the first gray scale compensation value of the preset calibration area of the display screen according to the gray scale number for displaying, the working frequency, and the gray scale compensation mapping table means determining the first positive polarity compensation value and the first negative polarity compensation value of the preset calibration area respectively. Then, the second positive polarity compensation value of the non-preset calibration area of the display screen is determined according to the first positive polarity compensation value of the preset calibration area, and the second negative polarity compensation value of the non-preset calibration area of the display screen is determined according to the first negative polarity compensation value of the preset calibration area. Processes of determining the second positive polarity compensation value and the second negative polarity compensation value are same as the process of determining the second gray scale compensation value in the above embodiments.
S104: Controlling, according to the first gray scale compensation value, the preset calibration area to reach a preset brightness for displaying.
S105: Controlling, according to the second gray scale compensation value, the non-preset calibration area to reach the preset brightness for displaying.
In detail, on the basis of the gray scale number for displaying at the working frequency, the brightness of the preset calibration area is compensated to the preset brightness using the first gray scale compensation value, and the brightness of the non-preset calibration area is compensated to the preset brightness using the second gray scale compensation value.
In the present embodiment, in order to resolve the serious flicker during repeated switching of the display between different frequencies, actually outputted gray scale values at different working frequencies are adjusted to compensate for the decreased display brightness caused by leakage, so as to alleviate the brightness reduction of the display during a low frequency period, thereby enhancing the quality of the display.
