TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the field of manufacturing of liquid crystal displays, and in particular, to a method for adjusting backlight brightness and an electronic device.

BACKGROUND

In recent years, liquid crystal displays (Liquid Crystal Display, LCD for short) have been developing by leaps and bounds, and are widely applied in fields such as smartphones, industrial meters, and medical instruments, bringing richer visual enjoyment to users.

However, an LCD is a passive light-emitting display, whose display effect is greatly related to LCD backlight brightness and ambient luminance. For example, backlight brightness of an LCD in the sun must be adjusted to a very high level to ensure that the LCD presents clear display content; inside a dark place, the LCD may present clear display content only by maintaining a relatively low level of backlight brightness of the LCD.

To ensure that an LCD can still present clear display content when ambient luminance changes, methods of light adaptive brightness control (Light Adaptive Brightness Control, LABC for short) and content adaptive brightness control (Content Adaptive Brightness Control, CABC for short) are proposed in the prior art.

Exemplarily, in the LABC method, after an electronic device is turned on, an application processor (Application Processor, AP for short) first checks ambient luminance, then obtains through calculation current LCD backlight brightness according to the ambient luminance, and transmits to an LCD driver circuit the LCD backlight brightness obtained through calculation. In this way, the LCD driver circuit can output a pulse width modulation (Pulse Width Modulation, PWM for short) signal to a backlight driver module, so that the current LCD backlight brightness can be adjusted. If the ambient luminance exceeds a particular range, the electronic device starts the foregoing process again to re-adjust the LCD backlight brightness.

However, in the current LABC method, LCD backlight cannot track ambient light changes in real time. As shown in FIG. 1, there is much blank space between a straight line indicating LCD backlight brightness and a curve indicating ambient luminance, where the blank space indicates wasted energy. In addition, because a PWM signal output by an LCD driver circuit is not highly precise, 8 bits generally, a sudden backlight change occurs when the LCD backlight brightness changes. As a result, a user sees obvious flickering in a light adjustment process.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely some but not all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Embodiment 1

This embodiment of the present invention provides an electronic device. As shown in FIG. 2, the electronic device includes: a light sensor 21 and a microcontroller 22 connected to the light sensor 21.

The light sensor 21 is configured to acquire an ambient luminance signal of a current time point; and

• • the microcontroller 22 is configured to: read the ambient luminance signal of the current time point from the light sensor 21, and obtain through calculation a first target backlight brightness value of the electronic device at the current time point according to the ambient luminance signal of the current time point, where
  • the microcontroller 22 is further configured to: if the electronic device is in a normal screen-on state, adjust from a first initial backlight brightness value to the first target backlight brightness value step by step, where the first initial backlight brightness value is a first target backlight brightness value of the electronic device at a previous time point.

The ambient luminance signal may be an electrical signal converted by the light sensor 21 from an optical signal obtained in a current environment, where the electrical signal may be a current signal or a voltage signal, without being limited thereto though. The first target backlight brightness value is obtained according to the principle of light adaptive brightness control (Light Adaptive Brightness Control, LABC for short).

Optionally, the microcontroller 22 is specifically configured to: perform filtering processing on the read ambient luminance signal of the current time point to obtain an after-filtering ambient luminance signal of the current time point; and

• • if the after-filtering ambient luminance signal of the current time point changes relative to an ambient luminance signal of the previous time point, obtain through calculation the first target backlight brightness value of the electronic device at the current time point according to the after-filtering ambient luminance signal of the current time point.

Specifically, the microcontroller 22 performs filtering processing on continuously read ambient light to obtain an after-filtering ambient light curve, obtains current ambient luminance from the ambient light curve, and further obtains the first target backlight brightness value according to the ambient luminance.

When the microcontroller 22 reads the ambient luminance signal of the current time point, if the light sensor 21 is directed abruptly to a strong light-emitting illuminant such as an electric light or the sun, data of the sudden change does not reflect the actual change of ambient luminance. Therefore, filtering processing needs to be performed on the read ambient luminance signal of the current time point, to obtain the actual ambient luminance change, that is, to obtain the after-filtering ambient luminance signal of the current time point. The filtering processing may be performed by using various algorithms for smoothing data, such as an average method, a weighting method, and an interpolation method.

Exemplarily, a first-order lag filtering algorithm is used as an example. The principle of the first-order lag filtering algorithm is: a current filtering result=(1−a)*a current sample value+a*a previous filtering result, where 0<a<1. X(K) represents the current filtering result, X(K−1) represents the previous filtering result, and U(k) represents the current sample value, and then X(K)=(1−a)*U(k)+a*X(K−1).

As shown in FIG. 3, hollow circles, connected by using a thin solid line, represent signals on which filtering processing is not performed. Let a be 0.8. After the first-order lag filtering algorithm is applied and then X(K)=[X(K−1)+X(K+1)]/2 is further applied once, circles filled with double slashes shown in FIG. 3 are obtained, where the circles are connected by using a dashed line. This is repeated several times until black solid circles shown in FIG. 3 are obtained, where the solid circles are connected by using a bold solid line.

As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 4 shows an after-filtering ambient luminance signal of the current time point obtained after the microcontroller 22 performs, by using the first-order lag filtering algorithm, filtering processing on the read ambient luminance signal of the current time point.

Optionally, the microcontroller 22 is specifically configured to:

• • acquire an initial brightness change rate corresponding to the first initial backlight brightness value, and adjust to a first first intermediate backlight brightness value according to the initial brightness change rate; and
  • obtain an intermediate brightness change rate corresponding to a first intermediate backlight brightness value, and adjust to a next first intermediate backlight brightness value according to the intermediate brightness change rate, cyclically until the first target backlight brightness value of the electronic device is reached.

If the ambient luminance signal of the current time point changes slightly relative to that of the previous time point, the first first intermediate backlight brightness value can serve as the first target backlight brightness value of the electronic device. In this case, the first target backlight brightness value of the electronic device can be reached by acquiring the initial brightness change rate corresponding to the first initial backlight brightness value and adjusting according to the initial brightness change rate only once.

If the ambient luminance signal of the current time point changes significantly relative to that of the previous time point, there is a large gap between the first initial backlight brightness value and the first target backlight brightness value. In this case, the first initial backlight brightness value needs to go through multiple first intermediate backlight brightness values so as to adjust to the first target backlight brightness value of the electronic device. Specifically, the initial brightness change rate corresponding to the first intermediate backlight brightness value is acquired and the first first intermediate backlight brightness value is reached by adjusting according to the initial brightness change rate; an intermediate brightness change rate corresponding to the first intermediate backlight brightness value is acquired, and a second first intermediate backlight brightness value is reached by adjusting according to the intermediate brightness change rate; the adjustment goes on until the first target backlight brightness value of the electronic device is reached.

Human eyes are extremely sensitive to brightness changes. Therefore, the initial brightness change rate corresponding to the first initial backlight brightness value and the intermediate brightness change rate corresponding to the first intermediate backlight brightness value need to ensure that the first backlight brightness is adjusted to the first target backlight brightness value of the electronic device at a highest rate with a largest change amount that are not to visual awareness of the human eyes. When a screen of the electronic device is darker, a gradual change of screen brightness should take a longer time at a lower transition rate. When the screen of the electronic device is brighter, the gradual change of screen brightness should take a shorter time at a higher transition rate.

Exemplarily, a curve of luminance sensitivity of the human eyes in different levels of ambient luminance is obtained by testing according to visual characteristics of the human eyes. According to this curve, an asymptote may be found for a highest rate and a largest change amount that are not to visual awareness of the human eyes. As shown in FIG. 5, a horizontal coordinate represents a first backlight brightness value, and a vertical coordinate represents a brightness change rate. A further understanding of the relationship between the first backlight brightness value and the brightness change rate shown in FIG. 5 is that a visual response of the human eyes is actually caused by a slope of brightness change. When the slope of brightness change is less than a constant value, a visual response is not made; when the slope of brightness change is greater than the constant value, a visual response is made. Significance of the brightness change slope curve shown in FIG. 5 is: In given ambient light, when the first backlight brightness value changes from an initial value to a target value, a slope of the change approaches the luminance sensitivity curve, so that a largest change amount can be obtained and brightness follows at a highest speed, achieving an optimal display effect without visual awareness of the human eyes.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 6, the electronic device further includes: an application processor 23, a display driver module 24 connected to the application processor 23 and the microcontroller 22, and a backlight driver module 25 connected to the microcontroller 22.

The application processor 23 is configured to output an image to the display driver module 24.

The display driver module 24 is configured to acquire a second target backlight brightness value of the electronic device at the current time point according to the image input by the application processor 23.

The microcontroller 22 is configured to: multiply the first target backlight brightness value and the second target backlight brightness value to obtain a third target backlight brightness value of the electronic device, and output the third target backlight brightness value to the backlight driver module 25.

The backlight driver module 25 is configured to adjust backlight brightness of the electronic device according to the third target backlight brightness value.

The second target backlight brightness value is obtained according to the principle of content adaptive brightness control (Content Adaptive Brightness Control, CABC for short).

Optionally, the application processor 23 is further configured to send an instruction message to the microcontroller 22, where the instruction message is used to instruct the microcontroller 22 to turn on or turn off the light sensor 21.

The instruction message may be a startup or shutdown command. When the microcontroller 22 receives a startup command sent by the application processor 23, the microcontroller 22 turns on the light sensor 21. When the microcontroller 22 receives a shutdown command sent by the application processor 23, the microcontroller 22 turns off the light sensor 21.

Alternatively, the instruction message may be a wakeup or sleep command. When the microcontroller 22 receives a wakeup command sent by the application processor 23, the microcontroller 22 turns on the light sensor 21. When the microcontroller 22 receives a sleep command sent by the application processor 23, the microcontroller 22 turns off the light sensor 21.

Alternatively, the instruction message may be a command indicating whether to adjust backlight brightness. When the microcontroller 22 receives a command of adjusting backlight brightness sent by the application processor 23, the microcontroller 22 turns on the light sensor 21. When the microcontroller 22 receives a command of not adjusting backlight brightness sent by the application processor 23, the microcontroller 22 turns off the light sensor 21.
