Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of display technologies, and in particular to a method and apparatus for compensating white point coordinates, and a computer device and a storage medium.

BACKGROUND

When a user wears a virtual reality (VR) device with liquid crystal display and shakes his head, a temporarily lingering phenomenon may occur on the picture that the user sees; when two pictures, that is, the temporarily lingering picture and the currently displayed picture, are reflected in the brain at the same time, smear may be produced, causing the user to feel dizzy.

In the related art, the above problem may be solved through a backlight black frame insertion technology. In the backlight black frame insertion technology, a picture display period corresponding to a picture of the VR device is divided into three parts: data scan time (ST), liquid crystal response time (RT) and backlight light-up time (BLUT). A backlight only needs to be turned on during the BLUT, and a normal picture is generated at this time; the backlight remains turned off at other times, and a black picture appears. The above temporarily lingering phenomenon is avoided by inserting a full black frame between the displayed normal pictures based on the above solution.

In a production process, a burning device calculates white point (that is, the whitest point in a display, for example, a point of which gray scales of red, green and blue are all 255) coordinates according to detected optical data, and burns the white point coordinates into an integrated circuit (IC) of the VR device. At present, the burning device is incapable of supporting calculation of the white point coordinates of the backlight in a black frame insertion mode, and can only support calculation of the white point coordinates of the backlight in an always-on mode and directly burn the white point coordinates calculated in the always-on mode into the IC of the VR device in the black frame insertion mode. When the IC of the VR device controls the backlight to operate based on the white point coordinates, the white point coordinates are inevitably unmatched with the displayed picture, resulting in color deviation of the displayed picture.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

For clearer descriptions of the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present disclosure, embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for compensating white point coordinates according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes the following steps.

In 101, target brightness and target white point coordinates of a display module in a black frame insertion mode are acquired, wherein the display module includes a backlight.

In the display module, the backlight and a display panel are assembled together to form the display module.

Chromaticity coordinates are coordinates of a color, and common chromaticity coordinates include an abscissa x and an ordinate y. The whitest point in a display refers to a white point when the display displays white of 255, 255, 255, and coordinates of white of 255, 255, 255 in the chromaticity coordinates are referred to as white point coordinates.

During gamma burning, the white point coordinates and gamma data are burnt together into an integrated circuit (IC) of the display module. Therefore, whether the white point coordinates are appropriate is related to the subsequent color deviation displayed by the display module.

The white point coordinates burnt into the IC should make the detected white point coordinates when the display module emits light satisfy requirements.

In embodiments of the present disclosure, a light emitting mode of the backlight in the display module is divided into an always-on mode and a black frame insertion mode. The always-on mode refers to a mode in which the backlight always emits light; the black frame insertion mode refers to a mode in which the backlight is periodically turned on and off. For example, a frame of picture displayed by the display module corresponds to a display period, and the display period is divided into three parts: data scan time (ST), liquid crystal response time (RT) and backlight light-up time (BLUT). The backlight is only required to open at the BLUT. In the always-on mode, the backlight is controlled by a direct current (DC); in the black frame insertion mode, the backlight is controlled by a pulse width modulation (PWM) current. Since the white point coordinates are correlated to the current, a difference of currents in different modes may result in a difference of white point coordinates.

In actual production, a burning device for burning gamma and white point coordinates may be only operated in the always-on mode. However, for a VR device, the display module is in the black frame insertion mode. Therefore, the white point coordinates directly acquired by the burning device are incapable of satisfying the requirements of the display module of the VR device, and are to be compensated.

In 102, the white point coordinates corresponding to the target brightness to be reached by the backlight in the black frame insertion mode and in the always-on mode are determined, respectively.

In 103, the target white point coordinates are compensated based on a difference value between the white point coordinates in the always-on mode and the white point coordinates in the black frame insertion mode.

In this solution, the target brightness and the target white point coordinates to be reached by the display module in the black frame insertion mode are acquired, and the white point coordinates of the backlight in the display module in the always-on mode and the black frame insertion mode are determined respectively based on the target brightness; then, the difference value of the white point coordinates in the always-on mode and the black frame insertion mode may be acquired based on the white point coordinates of the backlight in the display module in these two modes, and the target white point coordinates to be reached by the display module in the black frame insertion mode are compensated based on the difference value to acquire the white point coordinates in the always-on mode corresponding to the target white point coordinates, that is, the white point coordinates that may be finally burnt into the IC; in this solution, by compensating the white point coordinates, the white point coordinates burnt into the IC satisfy requirements of the VR device in the black frame insertion mode better, and are matched with the displayed picture better, thereby reducing the color deviation of the displayed picture.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a method for compensating white point coordinates according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method is applied to a liquid crystal display device using backlight black frame insertion technology, for example, a liquid crystal display device of a virtual reality device, and the liquid crystal display includes a display module. The method may be performed by a burning device, or performed by a computer device connected with a burning device. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes the following steps.

In 201, brightness corresponding to different currents and white point coordinates corresponding to different currents of the backlight in the always-on mode are acquired.

As described above, in the actual production, the burning device (Auto gamma) for burning gamma and white point coordinates may be only operated in the always-on mode, so that parameters of brightness and white point coordinates of the backlight in the always-on mode may be only acquired. The backlight is controlled to be at different currents to acquire the corresponding brightness and the corresponding white point coordinates, respectively.

In an exemplary embodiment, the corresponding brightness and the corresponding white point coordinates of the backlight at different currents may be acquired by detection of a color analyzer.

Table 1 shows test results of brightness and chromaticity coordinates at different currents.

It is to be noted that the brightness and the white point coordinates of a single backlight are acquired in 201 before the display module is assembled.

In 202, a function relationship between the current and the brightness is acquired by performing fitting based on the brightness corresponding to different currents; a function relationship between the white point coordinates and the current is acquired by performing fitting based on the white point coordinates corresponding to different currents.

In embodiments of the present disclosure, the function relationship between the current and the brightness and the function relationship between the white point coordinates and the current are acquired by fitting the brightness and white point coordinate corresponding to different currents of the backlight in the always-on mode, thereby reflecting relationships among the current, the brightness and the white point coordinates in the backlight better. The function relationship between the current and the brightness and the function relationship between the white point coordinates and the current of the single backlight are acquired by performing fitting before the display module is assembled. The current of the backlight refers to an operation current driving the backlight to emit light.

In an exemplary embodiment, the following function relationship formulas (1) and (2) are acquired by fitting the data acquired in 201 based on a polynomial fitting scheme.

I=F ₁ ⁻¹(LV)  (1)

x=F ₂(I), y=F₃(I)  (2)

In the above formulas, F₁⁻¹ refers to inverse function, F₂ and F₃ refer to function, I refers to the current of the backlight, LV refers to the brightness of the backlight, and (x,y) refers to the white point coordinates of the backlight.

In 203, the target brightness and the target white point coordinates of the display module in the black frame insertion mode are acquired.

The target brightness and the target white point coordinates of the display module in the black frame insertion mode are provided by a client herein. The object of the present disclosure is to ensure that the finally compensated white point coordinates burnt into the IC of the display module can control the white point coordinates when the display module displays the picture in the black frame insertion mode to be the target white point coordinates described above.

It is to be noted that the target brightness and the target white point coordinates are acquired in 203 after the display module is assembled, and the display module is formed by assembling the backlight and the display panel.

In 204, a first current required for the backlight to reach the target brightness in the always-on mode is acquired based on the target brightness and the function relationship between the current and the brightness of the backlight in the always-on mode.

In an exemplary embodiment, the first current is calculated based on the following formula (3).

I _DC =F ₁ ⁻¹(LV_i)  (3)

In the above formula, I_DC refers to the first current, and LV_i refers to the target brightness.

In 205, a second current required for the backlight to reach the target brightness in the black frame insertion mode is acquired based on the first current.

Optionally, acquiring the second current required by the backlight in the black frame insertion mode based on the first current includes:

acquiring the second current by multiplying a reciprocal of a product of a difference between 1 and a brightness loss coefficient and a duty ratio by the first current.

In an exemplary embodiment, the second current is calculated based on the following formula (4).

$\begin{array}{cc}{I}_{\mathrm{PWM}}=\frac{\left(F_1^{-1}{\mathrm{LV}}_i\right)}{\left(1-K_3\right)\times \mathrm{Duty}}& \left(4\right)\end{array}$

In the above formula, I_PWM refers to the second current, Duty refers to the duty ratio in the black frame insertion mode, and K₃ refers to the brightness loss coefficient.

The duty ratio in the black frame insertion mode is also a specific value of the backlight turn-on time and backlight turn-off time (data scan time and liquid crystal response time), for example, 10%. The brightness loss coefficient refers to that since the backlight turn-on time is short in the black frame insertion mode, increase and decrease of the PWM current may take up some time, resulting in loss of the actual brightness compared with that in an ideal state. In the present disclosure, this part of loss is indicated by the brightness loss coefficient.

In an exemplary embodiment, the brightness loss coefficient may be acquired by detection. For example, the brightness loss coefficient may be 10%.

In 206, the white point coordinates of the backlight in the always-on mode and the white point coordinates of the backlight in the black frame insertion mode are acquired respectively based on the first current, the second current and the function relationship between the white point coordinates and the current of the backlight in the always-on mode.

The white point coordinates in the always-on mode are calculated based on the following formula (5).

X _a =F ₂(I_DC), Y_a=F₃(I_DC)  (5)

The white point coordinates in the black frame insertion mode are calculated based on the following formula (6).

X _b =F ₂(I_PWM), Y_b=F₃(I_PWM)  (6)

In the above formulas, (X_a, Y_a) refers to the white point coordinates in the always-on mode, and (X_b, Y_b) refers to the white point coordinates in the black frame insertion mode.

In 207, the target white point coordinates are compensated based on the difference value between the white point coordinates in the always-on mode and the white point coordinates in the black frame insertion mode.

Optionally, compensating the target white point coordinates based on the difference value between the white point coordinates in the always-on mode and the white point coordinates in the black frame insertion mode includes:

acquiring the compensated target white point coordinates by adding the product of the difference value between the white point coordinates in the black frame insertion mode and the white point coordinates in the always-on mode and the compensation proportion coefficient to the target white point coordinates.

In an exemplary embodiment, the compensated target white point coordinates are calculated based on the following formulas (7) and (8).

$\begin{array}{cc}{X}_o=X_i+K_1\left(F_2\left(\frac{\left(F_1^{-1}{\mathrm{LV}}_i\right)}{\left(1-K_3\right)\times \mathrm{Duty}}\right)-F_2\left(F_1^{-1}\left({\mathrm{LV}}_i\right)\right)\right)& \left(7\right)\end{array}$ $\begin{array}{cc}{Y}_O=Y_i+K_2\left(F_3\left(\frac{\left(F_1^{-1}{\mathrm{LV}}_i\right)}{\left(1-K_3\right)\times \mathrm{Duty}}\right)-F_3\left(F_1^{-1}\left({\mathrm{LV}}_i\right)\right)\right)& \left(8\right)\end{array}$

In the above formulas, (X_o, Y_o) refers to the compensated target white point coordinates, and (X_i, Y_i) refers to the target white point coordinates. K₁ and K₂ are compensation proportion coefficients, the white point coordinates include two coordinate values X and Y, the compensation proportion coefficient corresponding to X is K₁, and the compensation proportion coefficient corresponding to Y is K₂.

After the compensated white point coordinates are acquired in 207, gamma burning may be performed for the compensated target white point coordinates.

Descriptions are made to steps 201 to 207 below in combination with embodiments.

For example, the function relationship acquired by fitting is as follows:

I=F ₁ ⁻¹(LV)=5×10⁻⁴LV+3.4301;

x=F ₂(I)=−1×10⁻⁴/+0.3044;

y=F ₃(I)=—2×10⁻⁴LV+0.2765.

The target white point coordinates provided by the user are (x_i,y_i)=(0.28,0.29), and the target brightness provided by the user is LV_i=7268.

The current required by the backlight in the always-on mode is calculated as I_DC=8.1126 mA.

The current required by the backlight in the black frame insertion mode is calculated as I_PWM=90.1405 mA.

The white point coordinates in the always-on mode calculated based on I_DC are (X_a, Y_a)=(0.3036,0.2745).

The white point coordinates in the black frame insertion mode calculated based on I_pwm are (X_b, Y_b)=(0.2892,0.2537).

The compensated white point coordinates are calculated as (X_O, Y_O)=(0.2810,0.3004).

After the results are burnt to the display module, it may be ensured that the white point coordinates generated by the display module are in a satisfactory range, thereby indicating feasibility of the method.

In 208, the detected white point coordinates of the display module when the display module displays in the black frame insertion mode are acquired, wherein the display module controls the backlight to operate based on the compensated target white point coordinates.

After the compensated white point coordinates are burnt into the IC, the display module is generated through a process such as module encapsulation. After the generation of the display module is completed, whether the compensated target white point coordinates in 207 are to be further adjusted may be verified by detecting the white point coordinates of the display module.

If it is determined that the compensated target white point coordinates are not to be adjusted, the compensated target white point coordinates described above are continued to be used in the subsequent production; if it is determined that the compensated target white point coordinates are to be adjusted, the compensated target white point coordinates are adjusted during the subsequent production, and steps 208 and 209 are repeated until the adjustment is finally unneeded.

In an exemplary embodiment, whether the compensated target white point coordinates satisfy the requirements is verified by re-lighting in the black frame insertion mode. Since the display module is already produced herein, the white point coordinates may be verified in the black frame insertion mode at this time.

In 209, when a difference value between coordinate values of the detected white point coordinates of the display module and the target white point coordinates on any coordinate axis is greater than a set value, the compensation proportion coefficient is adjusted based on the detected white point coordinates of the display module and the target white point coordinates.

In embodiments of the present disclosure, K₁ and K₂ are empirical values to be adjusted in 208 and 209, thereby ensuring an accuracy of the finally compensated target white point coordinates.

Step 209 may include: decreasing K₁ when the detected white point coordinate X of the display module is greater than the target white point coordinate X; and increasing K₁ when the detected white point coordinate X is smaller than the target white point coordinate X; and

decreasing K₂ when the detected white point coordinate Y of the display module is greater than the target white point coordinate Y; and increasing K₂ when the detected white point coordinate Y is smaller than the target white point coordinate Y.

In embodiments of the present disclosure, a feedback is formed based on the detection result when the display module displays in the black frame insertion mode, thereby optimizing K₁ and K₂ and enabling the white point coordinates subsequently burnt into a same type of other display modules to be the most accurate.

Optionally, X is an abscissa of the white point coordinates, Y is an ordinate of the white point coordinates, the adjusted K₁ may be 0.07, and the adjusted K₂ may be 0.5. The use of the compensation proportion coefficient may ensure a good displaying effect of the liquid crystal display device.

After the compensation proportion coefficient is adjusted, the compensated target white point coordinates may be adjusted by using the adjusted compensation proportion coefficient, and then taken as the white point coordinates to be burnt into the IC. It is to be noted that the display module for burning in 207 and the display module for burning in 209 are not the same liquid crystal display device. Steps 201 to 209 may be performed before batch production. Steps 201 to 207 belong to a design stage before batch production, and steps 208 and 209 belong to a debugging stage during batch production. After the white point coordinates are determined in 209, the batch production of liquid crystal display devices (e.g., VR devices) may be carried out based on the white point coordinates.
