DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Technical solutions in some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some but not all embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments obtained on the basis of the embodiments of the present disclosure by a person of ordinary skill in the art shall be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.

A dual cell is a display panel with ultra-high contrast. As shown in FIG. 1, a dual-cell display panel 3 includes a display sub-panel 2 and a dimming sub-panel 1 that are superposed. A backlight module 4 is used to provide light required for image display for the display panel 3. The backlight module 4 is disposed on a side of the dimming sub-panel 1 of the display panel 3 away from the display sub-panel 2. As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the dimming sub-panel 1 includes a plurality of first pixels 11, and the display sub-panel 2 includes a plurality of second pixels 21. As shown in FIG. 3A, each first pixel 11 corresponds to multiple second pixels 21. Herein, that each first pixel 11 corresponds to the multiple second pixels 21 means that, an orthographic projection of each first pixel 11 on the display sub-panel 2 covers a whole region or a partial region of each of the multiple second pixels 21 on the display sub-panel 2, and a relationship between the first pixel 11 and the multiple second pixels covered by the orthographic projection of the first pixel 11 is referred to as “correspondence”.

It will be noted that, as shown in FIG. 3A, in some examples, the multiple second pixels 21 corresponding to the first pixel 11 may include at least one second pixel 21, a whole region of which is completely covered by the orthographic projection of the first pixel 11 on the display sub-panel 2, or may include at least one second pixel 21, a partial region of which is covered by the orthographic projection of the first pixel 11 on the display sub-panel 2. The partial region of each of the at least one second pixel 21 is, for example, one half, one third, or the like of the second pixel 21.

As for the dual-cell display panel 3, backlight emitted by the backlight module 4 passes through the first pixel 11 of the dimming sub-panel 1, and then passes through the multiple second pixels 21 corresponding to the first pixel 11. By adjusting gray scales of first pixels 11 in the dimming sub-panel 1 separately, it is possible to control brightness of backlight allowed to be transmitted by the first pixels 11, thereby supplying the backlight with different brightness to different regions of the display sub-panel 2, and making the display panel 3 show a high contrast and dark field details.

Since each first pixel 11 in the dimming sub-panel corresponds to multiple second pixels 21 in the display sub-panel 2, and each of the multiple second pixels 21 has a different gray scale, the brightness of the first pixel 11 in the dimming sub-panel 1 cannot be the same as brightness of each of the multiple second pixels 21 corresponding thereto.

When the brightness of the first pixel 11 s greater than the brightness of one or some of the multiple second pixels 21 corresponding thereto, the brightness of these second pixels 21 will be too bright. When the brightness of the first pixel 11 is less than the brightness of one or some of the multiple second pixels 21 corresponding thereto, the brightness of these second pixels 21 will be too dark. As a result, there is a virtual image in an image displayed on the display panel 3, thereby causing a halo phenomenon of the display panel 3, and resulting in a decrease in display quality.

In the related art, in order to improve the halo phenomenon of the display panel 3, a gray-scale datum of each of the multiple second pixels 21 corresponding to the first pixel 11 is obtained first, and then a maximum gray-scale datum among gray-scale data of the multiple second pixels 21 is used as a gray-scale datum of the first pixel 11 corresponding to the multiple second pixels 21. In this way, the gray-scale datum of the first pixel 11 is equal to the maximum gray-scale datum among the gray-scale data of the multiple second pixels 21 corresponding thereto, so that a problem that the brightness of the second pixels 21 in the display sub-panel 2 is too dark is avoided, and the halo phenomenon of the display panel 3 is improved to a certain extent.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 3B and 3C, the number of the multiple second pixels 21 in the display sub-panel 2 corresponding to one first pixel 11 in the dimming sub-panel 1 is twenty, and the twenty second pixels 21 are P₀₁, P₀₂, P₀₃, P₀₄, P₁, P₂, . . . , P₁₅ and P₁₆. Overlapping areas of orthographic projections of the second pixels P₀₁, P₀₂, P₀₃, and P₀₄ and an orthographic projection of the first pixel 11 on the display sub-panel 2 are too small to be considered. The gray-scale data of remaining sixteen second pixels 21 (Le., P₁ to P₁₆) are 80, 90, 97, 100, 156, 110, 115, 70 120, 125, 110, 135, 98, 100, 150, and 140. Among the sixteen gray-scale data, the maximum gray-scale datum is 156. As shown in FIG. 3D, the gray-scale datum of the first pixel 11 corresponding to the sixteen second pixels 21 is thus determined to be 156.

The problem that the brightness of the second pixels 21 in the display sub-panel 2 is too dark may be avoided in the above examples. However, the gray-scale datum of the first pixel 11 is the same as the maximum gray-scale datum among the gray-scale data of the multiple second pixels 21 corresponding thereto. From another perspective a difference between the gray-scale datum of the first pixel 11 and the minimum gray-scale datum among the gray-scale data of the multiple second pixels 21 corresponding thereto is increased. As a result, the brightness of a part of the multiple second pixels 21 corresponding to the first pixel 11 in the display sub-panel 2 is too bright. Moreover, in a same display panel 3, although the gray-scale datum of the second pixel 21 is the same as the gray-scale datum of the first pixel 11, brightness corresponding to the second pixel 21 may not be the same as brightness corresponding to the first pixel 11. Therefore, by using the technical solution that the gray-scale datum of the first pixel 11 is equal to the maximum gray-scale datum among the gray-scale data of the multiple second pixels 21 corresponding thereto, although it is possible to improve the halo phenomenon of the display panel 3 to a certain extent, an improvement effect on the halo is not desirable.

In this regard, some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for improving a halo. Referring to FIGS. 1, 2A and 2B, the method for improving the halo is applied to the display panel 3. The display panel 3 is a dual cell, and includes the dimming sub-panel 1 and the display sub-panel 2 that are arranged in a superposed manner. The dimming sub-panel 1 includes a plurality of first pixels 21, and the display sub-panel 2 includes a plurality of second pixels 21. Each first pixel 11 corresponds to at least two second pixels 21. As shown in FIG. 4, the method for improving the halo includes step 100 to step 300 (S100 to S300).

In S100, a second brightness datum of each of the at least two second pixels 21 corresponding to the first pixel 11 is acquired.

In S200, a target brightness datum, of the first pixel 11 is calculated according to the acquired second brightness datum of each of the at least two second pixels 21.

In S300, a first gray-scale datum of the first pixel 11 is determined according to the target brightness datum.

It will be noted that S100 to S300 are described only for one first pixel 11, and as for the other first pixels 11, the working principle of the method for improving the halo is the same and will not be described herein again.

Herein, the first gray-scale datum is a datum that is used to drive the first pixel 11 n the dimming sub-panel 1 to display a gray scale, and a different first gray-scale datum is used to drive the first pixel 11 in the dimming sub-panel 1 to display a different gray scale. For example, the first gray-scale datum may be a voltage value or a current value that is used to drive the first pixel 11 in the dimming sub-panel 1 to display a different gray scale. The first brightness datum to be referred to hereinafter is the brightness of the first pixel 11 when the first pixel 11 displays the first gray scale.

The second gray-scale datum to be referred to hereinafter is a datum that is used to drive the second pixel 21 in the display sub-panel 2 to display a gray scale, and a different second gray-scale datum is used to drive the second pixel 21 in the display sub-panel 2 to display a different gray scale. For example, the second gray-scale datum may be a voltage value or a current value that is used to drive the second pixel 21 in the display sub-panel 2 to display a different gray scale. Similarly, a second brightness datum is brightness of the second pixel 21 when the second pixel 21 displays the second gray scale.

In some examples, the target brightness datum is a brightness datum that is calculated according to the second brightness datum of each of the at least two second pixels 21 corresponding to the first pixel 11 and a brightness coefficient corresponding to the second pixel 21. A brightness coefficient is a ratio of an overlapping area of each second pixel 21 and a corresponding first pixel 11 to an area of the first pixel 11. In a case where the area of the first pixel 11 is unchanged, the larger the overlapping area of each second pixel 21 and the first pixel 11, the larger the brightness coefficient of the second pixel 21, the larger of a ratio of a second brightness datum to the target brightness datum, and the closer the target brightness datum will be to the second brightness datum.

For example, the first pixel 11 corresponds to six second pixels 21, and second brightness data of the six second pixels 21 are 100, 156, 110, 115, 80 and 114. The target brightness datum that is calculated according to the second brightness data of the six second pixels 21 and brightness coefficients corresponding to respective second pixels 21 is 113 (a specific calculation method can be referred to a calculation process of the target brightness datum to be mentioned hereinafter), in this way, the target brightness datum that is calculated according to the second brightness datum of each second pixel 21 and the corresponding brightness coefficient is not much different from the second brightness datum of each second pixel 21, so that the brightness of the six second pixels 21 corresponding to the first pixel 11 may be reflected as a whole or approximately as a whole.

Based on this, in the above embodiments of the present disclosure, the target brightness datum of the first pixel 11 that is close to the second brightness datum of each of the at least two second pixels 21 corresponding to the first pixel 11 is calculated first, and then the first gray-scale datum of the first pixel 11 is determined according to the target brightness datum of the first pixel 11. In this way, when the first gray-scale datum is used to drive the first pixel 11 to display a first gray scale, and each second gray-scale data is used to drive a corresponding one of the at least two second pixels 21 corresponding to the first pixel 11 to display the second gray scale, the target brightness datum corresponding to the first gray scale is relatively close to the second brightness datum corresponding to the second gray-scale data as a whole. Therefore, the brightness of the first pixel 11 in the dimming sub-panel 1 is approximately the same as the brightness of the at least two second pixels 21 corresponding thereto, so that a situation that the brightness of the second pixels 21 in the display sub-panel 2 is too dark or too bright is improved, and a purpose of improving the halo of the display panel 3 is achieved.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, the step of acquiring the second brightness datum of each of the at least two second pixels 21 corresponding to the first pixel 11 (i.e., S100) includes; step 110 (S110) and step 120 (S120).

In S110, a second gray-scale datum of each of the at least two second pixels 21 corresponding to the first pixel 11 is acquired.

In S120, the second brightness datum of the second pixel 21 corresponding to the second gray-scale datum of the second pixel 21 is acquired according to a correspondence between second gray-scale data and second brightness data of the display sub-panel 2.

Herein, the correspondence between the second gray-scale data and the second brightness data corresponding to the second gray-scale data of the display sub-panel 2 may be measured to obtain a Gamma curve of the display sub-panel 2.

For example, assuming that the number of gray scales that the display sub-panel 2 may display is 256, the correspondence between the second gray-scale data and the second brightness data of the display sub-panel 2 may be as shown in Table 1.

	TABLE 1

In some embodiments, the correspondence between the second gray-scale data and the second brightness data of the display sub-panel 2 is data pre-stored in the display panel 3. In this way, in a process of performing S110 and S120, the pre-stored data of the correspondence between the second gray-scale data and the second brightness data can be directly invoked, and then the second brightness datum corresponding to the second gray-scale datum of each second pixel 21 is acquired according to the second gray-scale datum of the second pixel 21, so as to increase a processing speed of the display device.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 5, the step of calculating the target brightness datum of the first pixel 11 according to the acquired second brightness datum of each of the at least two second pixels 21 (i.e., S200) includes: step 210 (S210) to step 230 (S230).

In S210, a brightness coefficient of each of the at least two second pixels 21 is acquired, and the brightness coefficient is a ratio of an overlapping area of the second pixel 21 and the first pixel 11 to the area of the first pixel 11.

Herein, the area of the first pixel 11 is an area of the orthographic projection of the first pixel 11 on the display sub-panel 2. The overlapping area of the second pixel 21 and the first pixel 11 is an overlapping area of the orthographic projections of the second pixel 21 and the first pixel 11 on the display sub-panel 2.

For example, as shown in FIG. 38, according to a pattern of the orthographic projection of the first pixel 11 on the display sub-panel 2, geometric data of the pattern is measured. The geometric data includes, for example, a side length, an included angle between two adjacent sides, an arc length, a radius or the like of the pattern. An area X of the pattern is calculated according to the measured geometric data of the pattern, and the area X is the area of the first pixel 11. Then overlapping areas Y₁, Y₂, Y₃ . . . and Y_i of the first pixel 11 and respective second pixels 21 of the at least two second pixels 21 corresponding to the first pixel 11 are sequentially calculated. In this way, the brightness coefficients of the respective second pixels 21 can be calculated, and the brightness coefficients of the respective second pixels 21 of the at least two second pixels 21 corresponding to the first pixel 11 are

$\frac{Y_1}{X},\frac{Y_2}{X},\frac{Y_3}{X},\dots ,\mathrm{and}\frac{Y_i}{X}.$

In some embodiments, the brightness coefficient of each of the at least two second pixels 21 corresponding to the first pixel 11 is a datum pre-stored in the display panel, so that the pre-stored brightness coefficient datum can be directly invoked in the subsequent steps, which is beneficial to increasing the processing speed of the display device.

In S220, the brightness coefficient of each of the at least two second pixels 21 is multiplied by the second brightness datum of the second pixel 21 to obtain a proportional brightness datum of each of the at least two second pixels 21.

In S220, according to the second brightness datum of each of the at least two second pixels 21 corresponding to the first pixel 11 acquired in the above embodiments (for example, the second brightness data of the at least two second pixels 21 are L₁, L₂, L₃, . . . , and L_i), and the brightness coefficient of the second pixel 21 of the at least two second pixels 21, the proportional brightness data of the at least two second pixels 21 are calculated, being

$\frac{Y_1{L}_1}{X},\frac{Y_2{L}_2}{X},\frac{Y_3{L}_3}{X},\dots ,\mathrm{and}\frac{Y_i{L}_i}{X}.$

In S230, the proportional brightness data of the respective second pixels 21 of the at least two second pixels 21 are summed to obtain the target brightness data of the first pixel 11

In S230, for example, the target brightness datum of the first pixel 11 is

$L_{\mathrm{sub}}=\frac{Y_1{L}_1}{X}+\frac{Y_2{L}_2}{X}+\frac{Y_3{L}_3}{X}+\dots +\frac{Y_i{L}_i}{X}.$

It will be understood that the larger the overlapping area of one second pixel 21 and the first pixel 11, the higher the brightness of the second pixel 21 that needs to be contributed by the first pixel 11: and the smaller the overlapping area of one second pixel 21 and the first pixel 11, the lower the brightness of the second pixel 21 that needs to be contributed by the first pixel 11. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the ratio of the overlapping area of each of the at least two second pixels 21 and the first pixel 11 to the area of the first pixel 11 is used as the brightness coefficient, and the target brightness datum of the first pixel 11 is calculated according to these brightness coefficients, so that the target brightness datum of the first pixel 11 in the dimming sub-panel 1 is approximately the same as or close to the second brightness data of the multiple second pixels 21 corresponding to the first pixel 11 in the display sub-panel 2, which improves the situation that the brightness of the second pixel 21 in the display sub-panel 2 is too dark or too bright, and achieves the purpose of improving the halo of the display panel 3.

For example, as shown in FIG. 3B, each second pixel 21 in the display sub-panel 2 is in a shape of a rectangle. A length of the second pixel 21 is B, a width of the second pixel 21 is A, and then an area of the second pixel 21 is S₁=AB.

A shape of each first pixel 11 in the dimming sub-panel 1 is formed by splicing two parallelograms, and an area of the first pixel 11 can be regarded as a sum of areas of two symmetrical parallelograms. Lengths of two adjacent sides of each parallelogram are C and D, respectively, and a complementary angle of an included angle between the two adjacent sides is α. In this way, an area of a parallelogram is obtained: S₂=CD cos α. That is, an area of each first pixel 11 is S₃=2CD cos α.

The number of second pixels 21 in the display sub-panel 2 corresponding to one first pixel 11 in the dimming sub-panel 1 is twenty, and the twenty second pixels are P₀₁, P₀₂, P₀₃, P₀₄, P₁, P₂, . . . , P₁₅ and P₁₆.

An overlapping region of the second pixel P₀₁ and the first pixel 11 is in a shape of a right triangle. Assuming that lengths of two right-angled sides of the right triangle are ½ A and ⅓ B respectively, the overlapping area of the second pixel P₀₁ and the first pixel 11 is 1/12 AB.

Since the shape of the first pixel 11 is formed by splicing two parallelograms. Assuming that each parallelogram is a centrosyrnmetric figure, the overlapping area of each of the second pixels P₀₁, P₀₂, P₀₃ and P₀₄ and the first pixel 11 is equal, all being 1/12AB, that is,

$\begin{array}{cc}{S}_4=S_{P01}=S_{P02}=S_{P03}=S_{P04}=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{2}A\right)\left(\frac{1}{3}B\right)=\frac{1}{12}\mathrm{AB}.& \left(1\right)\end{array}$

The overlapping area of each of the second pixels P₁, P₂, P₁₅ and P₁₆ and the first pixel 11 is:

$\begin{array}{cc}{S}_5=S_{P1}=S_{P2}=S_{P15}=S_{P16}=\frac{1}{2}A\left(\frac{1}{3}B+B\right)=\frac{2}{3}\mathrm{AB}.& \left(2\right)\end{array}$

The overlapping area of each of the second pixels P₃, P₆, P₁₁ and P₁₂ and the first pixel 11 is:

$\begin{array}{cc}{S}_6=S_{P3}=S_{P8}=S_{P11}=S_{P12}=\frac{1}{2}A\left(\frac{2}{3}B\right)=\frac{1}{3}\mathrm{AB}.& \left(3\right)\end{array}$

The overlapping area of each of the second pixels P₄, P₇, P₁₀ and P₁₃ and the first pix 11 is:

$\begin{array}{cc}{S}_7=S_{P4}=S_{P7}=S_{P10}=S_{P13}=\mathrm{AB}-\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{2}A\right)\left(\frac{1}{3}B\right)=\frac{11}{12}\mathrm{AB}.& \left(4\right)\end{array}$

The overlapping area of each of the second pixels P₅, P₆, P₉ and P₁₄ and the first pixel 11 is:

S₈=S_P5=S_P6=S_P9=S_P14=AB   (5)

According to the formulas (1) to (5), the overlapping area of the first pixel 11 and each of the twenty second pixels P₀₁, P₀₂, P₀₃, P₀₄, P₁, P₂, . . . , P₁₅ and P₁₆ corresponding to the first pixel 11 is calculated, and then the brightness coefficient of each of the twenty second pixels is calculated.

The brightness coefficients of the second pixels P₀₁, P₀₂, P₀₃ and P₀₄ are equal, all being:

$\frac{S_4}{S_3}=\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{24\mathrm{CD}\cos \alpha }.$

The brightness coefficients of the second pixels P₁, P₂, P₁₅ and P₁₆ are equal, all being:

$\frac{S_5}{S_3}=\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{3\mathrm{CD}\cos \alpha }.$

The brightness coefficients of he second pixels P₃, P₈, P₁₁ and P₁₂ are equal, all being:

$\frac{S_6}{S_3}=\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{6\mathrm{CD}\cos \alpha }.$

The brightness coefficients of the second pixels P₄, P₇, P₁₀ and P₁₃ are equal, all being:

$\frac{S_7}{S_3}=\frac{11\mathrm{AB}}{24\mathrm{CD}\cos \alpha }.$

The brightness coefficients of the second pixels P₅, P₆, P₉ and P₁₄ are equal, all being:

$\frac{S_8}{S_3}=\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{2\mathrm{CD}\cos \alpha }.$

According to the brightness coefficients of the twenty second pixels corresponding to the first pixel 11 and the second brightness data L₀₁, L₀₂, L₀₃, . . . , L₁₆ of the twenty second pixels, the target brightness of the first pixel 11 can be calculated, being:

$L_{\mathrm{sub}}=\frac{\mathrm{AB}\left(L_{01}+L_{02}+L_{03}+L_{04}\right)}{24\mathrm{CD}\cos \alpha }+\frac{\mathrm{AB}\left(L_1+L_2+L_{15}+L_{16}\right)}{3\mathrm{CD}\cos \alpha }+\frac{\mathrm{AB}\left(L_3+L_8+L_{11}+L_{12}\right)}{6\mathrm{CD}\cos \alpha }+\frac{11\mathrm{AB}\left(L_4+L_7+L_{10}+L_{13}\right)}{24\mathrm{CD}\cos \alpha }+\frac{\mathrm{AB}\left(L_5+L_6+L_9+L_{14}\right)}{2\mathrm{CD}\cos \alpha }.$

In some embodiments, as for the method for improving the halo, if the overlapping area of the first pixel 11 and one of the at least two second pixels 21 corresponding to the first pixel 11 is less than a first threshold, the brightness coefficient of this second pixel 21 is 0. For example, the first threshold is any value between 1% and 10% of a pixel area of the one of the at least two second pixels 21. The first threshold is 1% of the pixel area of the one second pixel 21; the first threshold is 5% of the pixel area of the one second pixel 21; or the first threshold is 10% of the pixel area of the one second pixel 21.

The overlapping areas of one or some second pixels 21 and the first pixel 11 are less than the first threshold, and the first threshold is set to be small (for example, the first threshold is only 1% to 10% of the pixel area of one second pixel 21), which means that the overlapping areas of one or some second pixels 21 and the first pixel 11 are small. Therefore, the brightness coefficient of the second pixel 21 is small, so that the proportional brightness datum of the second pixel 21 is small, and the proportional brightness datum of the second pixel 21 has a little effect on the target brightness datum of the first pixel 11. Therefore, when the target brightness datum of the first pixel 11 is calculated, the second pixel 21 of which overlapping area with the first pixel 11 is less than the first threshold may be ignored. In this way, it is possible to reduce calculation amount of the target brightness datum of the first pixel 11, and simplify the calculation process, thereby increasing the processing speed o the display device.

For example, the first threshold is 10% of the pixel area of one second pixel 1. if the overlapping area of the first pixel and a certain second pixel 21 of the at least two, second pixels 21 corresponding to the first pixel 11 is less than 10% of the pixel area of the second pixel 21, the brightness coefficient of the second pixel 21 is equal to 0. For example, in the embodiments, the areas of the second peels P₀₁, P₀₂, P₀₃ and P₀₄ are all 1/12 AB less than 10% of the area AB of the second pixel 21. Therefore, the brightness coefficients of the second pixels P₀₁, P₀₂, P₀₃ and P₀₄ may not be acquired when the brightness coefficient of each of the at least two second pixels 21 corresponding to the first pixel 11 is acquired.

In some other embodiments, as for the method for improving the halo, if the overlapping area of one of the at least two second pixels 21 and the first pixel 11 is greater than a second threshold, the brightness coefficient of this second pixel 21 is a ratio of a whole area of the second pixel 21 to the area of the first pixel 11. For example, the second threshold is any value between 90% and 99% of the pixel area of the one of the at least two second pixels 21. The second threshold is 90% of the pixel area of the one second pixel 21; the second threshold is 95% of the pixel area of one second pixel 21; or the second threshold is 99% of the pixel area of the one second pixel 21.

The overlapping areas of one or some second pixels 21 and the first pixel 11 are greater than the second threshold, and the second threshold is set to be large (for example, the second threshold is between 90% to 99% of the pixel area of one second pixel 21), which means that the overlapping areas of one or some second pixels 21 and the first pixel 11 are large. Therefore, the brightness coefficient of the second pixel 21 is large, so that the proportional brightness datum of the second pixel 21 is large, and the proportional brightness datum of the second pixel 21 has a great influence on the target brightness datum of the first pixel 11. Therefore, when the target brightness datum of the first pixel 11 is calculated, the second pixel 21, of which overlapping area with the first pixel 11 is greater than the second threshold, can be calculated according to the ratio of the whole area of the second pixel 21 to the area of the first pixel 11 In this way, the calculation amount of the target brightness datum of the first pixel 11 is reduced, thereby increasing the processing speed of the display device.

For example, the second threshold is 90% of the pixel area of one second pixel 21. If the overlapping area of the first pixel 11 and a certain one of the at least two second pixels 21 corresponding to the first pixel 11 is greater than 90% of the pixel area of the one second pixel 21, the brightness coefficient of the second pixel 21 is the ratio of the area of the second pixel 21 to the area of the first pixel 11. For example, in the embodiments, the areas of the second pixels P₄, P₇, P₁₀ and P₁₃ are all 11/12 AB, greater than 90% of the area AB of one second pixel 21. Therefore, the overlapping areas of the second pixels P₄, P₇, P₁₀ and P₁₃ and the first pixel 11 can be calculated directly according to AB, i,e., S₇=S₈=S_P4=S_P7=S_P10=S_P13=S_P5=S_P6=S_P9=S_P14=AB when the brightness coefficient of each of the at least two second pixels 21 corresponding to the first pixel 11 is acquired.

In this way, according to the embodiments, it will be seen that the brightness coefficients of the second pixels P₁, P₂, P₁₅ and P₁₆ are all

$\frac{S_5}{S_3}=\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{3\mathrm{CD}\cos \alpha }.$

The brightness coefficients of the second pixels P₃, P₈, P₁₁ and P₁₂ are all

$\frac{S_6}{S_3}=\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{6\mathrm{CD}\cos \alpha }.$

The brightness coefficients o he second, pixels P₄, P₅, P₆, P₇, P₉, P₁₀, P₁₃ and P₁₄ are all

$\frac{S_7}{S_3}=\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{2\mathrm{CD}\cos \alpha }.$

According to a correspondence table of the second gray-scale data and the second brightness data of the display sub-panel 2 to be mentioned below, the second brightness data of the second pixels P₁, P₂, P₃, . . . , P₁₅ and P₁₆ are L₁, L₂, L₃. . . , L₁₅ and L₁₆, respectively. A calculation formula of the target brightness datum of the dimming sub-panel 1 is:

$\begin{array}{cc}{L}_{\mathrm{sub}}=\frac{S_5}{S_3}\left(L_1+L_2+L_{15}+L_{16}\right)+\frac{S_6}{S_3}\left(L_3+L_8+L_{11}+L_{12}\right)+\frac{S_7}{S_3}\left(L_4+L_5+L_6+L_7+L_9+L_{10}+L_{13}+L_{14}\right).& \left(6\right)\end{array}$

In the formula (6), L_Sub is the target brightness datum of the dimming sub-panel 1.

Since the data in the correspondence table, pre-stored in the display device, of the first gray-scale data and the first brightness data of the dimming sub-panel 1 are fixed values, it is likely that the target brightness datum L_Sub of the dimming sub-panel 1 obtained according to the above formula (6) cannot be completely consistent with the first brightness data in the correspondence table. Therefore, the first brightness datum closest to the target brightness datum L_Sub of the dimming sub-panel needs to be acquired from the correspondence table.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, determining the first gray-scale datum of the first pixel 11 according to the target brightness datum includes step 310 (S310) and step 320 (S320).

In S310, the first brightness datum that has a minimum absolute value of a difference with the target brightness datum of the first pixel 11 is determined among a plurality of first brightness data of the first pixel 11.

In S320, the first gray-scale datum corresponding to the determined first brightness datum is acquired according to a correspondence between the first gray-scale data and the first brightness data of the dimming sub-panel 1, and the acquired first gray-scale datum is used as the first gray-scale datum of the first pixel 11.

Herein, the correspondence between the first gray-scale data and the first brightness data corresponding to the first gray-scale data of the dimming sub-panel 1 may be measured to obtain a Gamma curve of the dimming sub-panel 1.

For example, assuming that the number of gray scales that the dimming sub-panel 1 may display is 256. the correspondence between the first gray-scale data and the first brightness data of the dimming sub-panel 1 may be as shown in Table 2.

	TABLE 2

In some embodiments, the correspondence between the first gray-scale data and the first brightness data of the dimming sub-panel 1 is data pre-stored in the display panel 3. In this way, in a process of performing S310 and S320, the pre-stored correspondence between the first gray-scale data and the first brightness data may be directly invoked to obtain a plurality of first brightness data of the first pixel 11 and then the first gray-scale datum corresponding to the first brightness datum of each first pixel 11 is acquired according to the first brightness datum of the first pixel 11, so as to increase the processing speed of the display device.

In some embodiments, if the first brightness data that have the minimum absolute value of the difference with the target brightness datum of the first pixel 11 among the first brightness data included in the correspondence between the first gray-scale data and the first brightness data of the dimming sub-panel 1 include two first brightness data, the first brightness datum is selected from the two first brightness data. For example, a larger first brightness datum is selected from the two first brightness data: alternatively, a smaller first brightness datum is selected from the two first brightness data.

For example, the target brightness data L_Sub of the dimming sub-panel 1 is acquired according to the formula (6), and the first brightness datum L_i closest to the target brightness datum L_Sub of the dimming sub-panel 1 may be obtained according to

$\Delta L=\text{?}❘\text{?}-L_{\mathrm{Sub}}❘,$ $\text{?}\text{indicates text missing or illegible when filed}$

where ΔL is the minimum value among differences between L_i to L₂₅₃ and L_Sub.

The first gray-scale datum corresponding to the first brightness datum that has the minimum difference with the target brightness datum L_Sub of the dimming sub-panel 1 is the desired first gray-scale datum. It will be noted that if there are two first brightness data, i.e., L_i and L_i+1, and absolute values of differences between the two first brightness data and L_Sub are equal, one first brightness datum may be selected randomly from the two first brightness data.

For example, it may be defined that the smaller one of the two first brightness data is the first brightness datum closest to the target brightness datum L_Sub of the dimming sub-panel 1. That is, the first b rightness datum L_i is selected as the first brightness datum closest to the target brightness datum L_Sub of the dimming sub-panel 1, and the first gray-scale datum G_i corresponding to the first brightness datum L_i is selected as the desired first gray-scale datum.

Alternatively, it may be defined that the larger one of the two first brightness data is the first brightness datum closest to the target brightness datum L_Sub of the dimming sub-panel 1. That is, the first brightness datum L_i+1 is selected as the first brightness datum closest to the target brightness datum L_Sub of the dimming sub-panel 1, and the first gray-scale datum G_i+1 corresponding to the first brightness datum L_i+1 is selected as the desired first gray-scale datum.

It is worth mentioning that the shape of the first pixel 11 in the dimming sub-panel 1 in the embodiments is illustrated by taking the shape shown in FIG. 2A as an example, and the shape of the second pixel 21 in the display sub-panel 2 is illustrated by taking the shape shown in FIG. 2B as an example. However, the method for improving the halo is not limited thereto. As for the first pixels 11 with other shapes and the second pixels 21 with other shapes, the method for improving the halo is also applicable, and may also improve the halo problem of the display panel 3.

In this, way, the processor 52 first determines the target brightness datum of the first pixel 11, which is close to the second brightness datum of each second pixel 21, and then determines the first gray-scale datum of the first pixel 11 according to the target brightness datum of the first pixel. When the first gray-scale datum is used to drive the first pixel 11 to display a first gray scale, and when second gray-scale data are used to drive the at least two second pixels 21 corresponding to the first pixel 11 to display second gray scales, respectively, the target brightness datum corresponding to the first gray scale is relatively close to the second brightness datum corresponding to each second gray-scale datum as a whole. As a result the brightness of the first pixel 11 in the dimming sub-panel 1 is approximately the same as the brightness of the at least two second pixels 21 corresponding thereto, thereby improving the situation that the brightness of the second pixels 21 in the display sub-panel 2 is too dark or too bright, and achieving the purpose of improving the halo of the display panel 3.

The processor may achieve various functions of the apparatus for improving the halo 5 by running or executing software programs stored in the memory 5 and invoking the data stored in the memory 51.

The memory may be a read-only memory (ROM) or any other type of static storage device that may store static information and instructions, a random access memory (RAM) or any other type of dynamic storage device that may store information and instructions, an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), a compact disc read-only memory (CD-ROM) or any other compact disc storage or optical disc storage (including a compressed disc, a laser disc, an optical disc, a digital versatile disc, a Blu-ray disc, etc.), a magnetic disc storage medium or any other magnetic storage device, or any other medium that may be used to carry or store a desired program code in the form of instructions or data structures and can be accessed by a computer, which is not limited thereto The memory 51 may be separate and connected to the processor 52 via a communication bus,. The memory 51 may also be integrated with the processor 52,

In some embodiments, the memory 51 has further stored therein at least one of the brightness coefficient datum of each of the at least two second pixels corresponding to each first pixel 11, data of the correspondence between the second gray-scale data and the second brightness data of the display sub-panel 2, and data of the correspondence between the first gray-scale data and the first brightness data of the dimming sub-panel 1. In this way, when the processor 52 achieves various functions of the apparatus for improving the halo 5, it is convenient for the processor 52 to invoke various data stored in the memory 51.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 7, a display 10 is also provided. The display 10 includes a display panel 3, and the apparatus for improving the halo 5 as described in some embodiments above, which is electrically connected to the display panel 3.

The display panel 3 includes the dimming sub-panel 1 and the display sub-panel 2 that are superposed. The dimming sub-panel 1 includes a plurality of first pixels 11, the display sub-panel 2 includes a plurality of second pixels 21, and each first pixel 11 corresponds to at least two second pixels 21.

The determination module 63 is configured to determine the first gray-scale datum of the first pixel 11 according to the target brightness datum of the first pixel 11 calculated by the calculation module 62.

Based on this, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the calculation module 62 calculates the target brightness datum of the first pixel 11 which is close to the second brightness datum of each second pixel 21, and then the determination module 63 determines the first gray-scale datum of the first pixel 11 according to the target brightness datum of the first pixel 11. In this way, when the first gray-scale datum is used to drive the first pixel 11 to present the first gray scale, and when second gray-scale data are used to drive the at least two second pixels 21 corresponding to the first pixel 11 to present the second gray scales, respectively, the target brightness datum corresponding to the first gray scale is relatively close to the second brightness data corresponding to respective second gray-scale data as a whole. As a result, the brightness of the first pixel 11 in the dimming sub-panel 1 is approximately the same as the brightness of the at least two second pixels 21 corresponding thereto, thereby improving the situation that the brightness of the second pixels 21 in the display sub-panel 2 is too dark or too bright, and achieving the purpose of improving the halo of the display panel 3.
