As shown in
At step S101, a refresh frequency of a current frame image is obtained.
At step S102, the common voltage of all the pixels in the second vertical blank interval is adjusted, such that a difference value between a first voltage difference and a second voltage difference is enabled to be within a preset-voltage-difference-range;
Where the first voltage difference is a root mean square of difference values between common voltages and pixel voltages of all pixels in the first vertical blank interval when the reference frame image is displayed; the second voltage difference is a root mean square of difference values between common voltages and pixel voltages of the pixels in the second vertical blank interval when the current frame image is displayed.
In one embodiment, when any frame image is displayed on the display device, the display device needs to obtain a refresh frequency of the frame image and compare the refresh frequency with the refresh frequency of the reference frame image, if the refresh frequency of the frame image is different from the refresh frequency of the reference frame image, the common voltage of the pixels in the vertical blank interval needs to be adjusted when this frame image is displayed on the display device. In this embodiment of the present application, for the convenience of description, the current frame image displayed by the display device at the current time is taken as an example, when the reference frame image is displayed by the display device, the vertical blank interval of the display device is defined as the first vertical blank interval, and when the current frame image is displayed by the display device, the vertical blank interval of the display device is defined as the second vertical blank interval, so that when different images are displayed on the display device, the vertical blank intervals of the display device can be better distinguished.
In one embodiment, the reference frame image may either be a previous frame image or be a any frame of a preset image, where the refresh frequency and the vertical blank interval of this image are known. By setting the reference frame image as the previous frame image, such that the brightness of the multi-frame images continuously displayed by the display device may tend to be consistent with the brightness of the first frame image; thus, when the display device displays one multi-frame images corresponding to one image data packet or one video data packet (also referred to as video data stream), the brightness of the multi-frame images corresponding to the same image data packet or the same video data packet tends to be consistent; when multi-frame images corresponding to different image data packets or different video data packets are displayed, if first frame images corresponding to the different image data packets or the different video data packets have the same brightness, the brightness of the multi-frame images corresponding to these different image data packets or the video data packets are also the same; if the first frame images corresponding to the different image data packets or the different video data packets have different brightness, the brightness of the multi-frame images corresponding to the different image data packets or the different video data packets are also different. The reference frame image is set as the preset image, such that the brightness of the multi-frame images continuously displayed by the display device tends to be consistent with the brightness of the preset image; thus, when the multi-frame images corresponding to the different image data packets or the different video data packets (also referred to as the video data streams) are displayed by the display device, the brightness of the multi-frame images corresponding to the image data packets or the video data packets tends to be consistent.
In one embodiment, the refresh frequency of the current frame image may be less than the refresh frequency of the reference frame image, in this condition, the second vertical blank interval is greater than the first vertical blank interval; the refresh frequency of the current frame image may also be greater than the refresh frequency of the reference frame image, in this condition, the second vertical blank interval is smaller than the first vertical blank interval.
As shown in
In one embodiment, a method for calculating the root mean square is implemented by:
calculating a summation of squared values of all values obtained in one time duration and obtaining an average value of the summation, and extracting a square root of the average value to obtain a root mean square;
Similarly, a method for calculating the first voltage difference is described below:
When the reference frame image is displayed on the display device, summation of m (i.e, m is an integer greater than 1) difference values (A1, A2, . . . , Am) between m common voltages of all pixels and m pixel voltages obtained at m time points in the first vertical blank interval are obtained. Summation of the difference values is expressed as Σ1=A1+A2+ . . . +Am. Then, the average value of Σ1 is calculated, the average value of Σ1 is expressed as Avg1=Σ1/m=(A1+A2+ . . . +Am)/m, then, square root of Avg1 is calculated to obtain the root mean square (i.e., the first voltage difference) which is expressed as D1=1 Avg1;
The method for calculating the second voltage difference is described below: when the current frame image is displayed on the display device, summation of n (n is an integer greater than 1) difference values (B1, B2, . . . , Bn) of n common voltages of the pixels and n pixel voltages obtained at n time points in the second vertical blank interval is calculated. The summation of the n difference values is expressed as E 2=B1+B2+ . . . +Bn. Then, the average value of Σ2 is calculated, the average value of Σ2 is expressed as Avg2=Σ2/n=(B1+B2+ . . . +Bn)/n. The square root of the average value of Σ2 is calculated to obtain the root mean square (i.e., the second voltage difference) which is expressed as D2=√{square root over (Avg2)}.
In one embodiment, time intervals between any two adjacent time points in the m time points are equal, the greater the value of M, the more accurate the calculation result of the first voltage difference; similarly, time intervals between any two adjacent time points in the n time points are equal, the greater the value of n, the more accurate the calculation result of the second voltage difference.
In one embodiment, the preset-voltage-difference-range may be set according to actual requirement, the smaller the preset-voltage-difference-range, the more consistent the screen brightness displayed by the display device after adjustment at different refresh frequencies, and the better the improved effect of the screen flicker phenomenon. The preset-voltage-difference-range may also be equivalently replaced by a single ideal value 0, in this condition, the screen brightness displayed by the display device at different refresh frequencies after adjustment are completely consistent, and the screen flicker phenomenon can be completely eliminated.
In one embodiment, the adjustment range of the common voltage is between the initial common voltage and the target common voltage, the voltage difference between the initial common voltage and the target common voltage is equal to a third voltage difference, and the third voltage difference is a voltage difference between the initial pixel voltage and the pixel voltage at the ending point of the second vertical blank interval, that is, the third voltage difference is an amount of change between the pixel voltage at the start time and the pixel voltage at the ending point during the process of displaying the current frame image by the display device.
In one embodiment, based on different methods for adjusting the common voltage, the method for adjusting the common voltage of all pixels in the second vertical blank interval in step S102 may include some approaches listed below:
The fourth approach, including: the common voltage of all the pixels in the second vertical blank interval is adjusted in a step change manner, so that the common voltage changes in the step change manner in the second vertical blank interval.
In one embodiment, any one of the four approaches for adjusting the common voltage may be selected according to actual requirement, as an alternative, other voltage adjustment methods may also be used as long as the common voltage changes uniformly between the initial common voltage and the target common voltage. By applying the first approach, the common voltage applied to all the pixels of the display device remains unchanged in the second vertical blank interval, so that a common voltage generation circuit only needs to generate a fixed common voltage in the second vertical blank interval, a voltage adjustment logic of the common voltage generation circuit is simplified, a circuit configuration of the common voltage generation circuit may be simplified, and the cost is saved; furthermore, a computing resource and an execution time of the processor are effectively saved. By applying the second approach, the third approach or the fourth approach, such that the common voltage applied to all pixels of the display device changes uniformly in the second vertical blank interval, the common voltage generation circuit only needs to generate a uniformly changed common voltage according to a certain change rule in the second vertical blank interval, so that the voltage adjustment logic of the common voltage generation circuit is regular, it is easier to implement the circuit configuration of the common voltage generation circuit; furthermore, the computing resource and the execution time of the processor are effectively saved.
In one embodiment, when the current frame image is displayed on the display device, the method for adjusting the common voltage of all pixels is also related with a polarity inversion driving mode of the display device. When the refresh frequency of the current frame image is less than the refresh frequency of the reference frame image, and the second vertical blank interval is greater than the first vertical blank interval, based on different polarity inversion driving modes, the method for adjusting the common voltage of all pixels in the second vertical blank interval in step S102 may include some approaches listed below:
When the refresh frequency of the current frame image is greater than the refresh frequency of the reference frame image, and the second vertical blank interval is smaller than the first vertical blank interval, based on different polarity inversion driving modes, the method for adjusting the common voltage of all pixels in the second vertical blank interval in step S102 may include some approached listed below:
In one embodiment, both the row-inversion-driving-mode and the column-inversion-driving-mode can be an N-line inversion driving mode, the N-line inversion driving mode means that the polarities of every N rows (or columns) of pixels are inverted, where N is a positive integer. Due to the approaches for adjusting the common voltage under the aforesaid various polarity inversion driving modes, such that the driving method provided in this embodiment can be applied to a display device using at least one of the polarity inversion driving modes, and there is a broad application range of the display device.

At step S200, a target common voltage at a refresh frequency of a current frame image is obtained according to the refresh frequency of the current frame image and a preset correspondence relationship.
Where, the preset correspondence relationship is a correspondence relationship between preset refresh frequencies and target common voltages at the preset refresh frequencies.
In one embodiment, the vertical blank intervals of the display device at different refresh frequencies are also different, so that decrease levels of potentials of pixels are different, and the target common voltages of the display device at different refresh frequencies are also different; therefore, the target common voltages of the display device at a plurality of different preset refresh frequencies are detected in advance, then, the preset correspondence relationship between the plurality of different preset refresh frequencies and the target common voltages at the plurality of different preset refresh frequencies is established, so that the target common voltage at the refresh frequency of the current frame image can be quickly determined according to the refresh frequency of the current frame image and the preset corresponding relationship during a driving process of the display device.
In one embodiment, the number of the previously established preset correspondence relationships should be more enough to ensure that a preset refresh frequency being identical to the refresh frequency of the current frame image can be searched in all preset correspondence relationships, and the target common voltage corresponding to the preset refresh frequency being identical to the refresh frequency of the current frame image can be searched in the driving process of the display device.
In one embodiment, if the preset refresh frequency being identical to the refresh frequency of the current frame image cannot be searched in all preset correspondence relationships, a preset refresh frequency approximating the refresh frequency of the current frame image can be searched, and the target common voltage at the preset refresh frequency approximating the refresh frequency of the current frame image is used as the target common voltage at the refresh frequency of the current frame image. A preset refresh frequency approximating the refresh frequency of the current frame image may be a preset refresh frequency, where a difference value between this preset refresh frequency and the refresh frequency of the current frame image is within a preset refresh frequency range. The preset frequency range may be set according to the actual requirement, and a standard for setting the preset frequency range is that: when the target common voltage at the preset refresh frequency is taken as the target common voltage at the refresh frequency of the current frame image, the brightness of the image displayed by the display device does not change significantly, and thus there is no obvious screen flicker, where the difference value between the preset refresh frequency and the refresh frequency of the current frame image is within the preset frequency range.
In one embodiment, the preset correspondence relationship may be a mapping relationship, and may exist in a form of correspondence table, and the correspondence table may be a look-up table, the present correspondence relationship may also be in the form of outputting a corresponding search result by searching using other input data. By establishing the preset correspondence relationship in advance, the corresponding target common voltage can be quickly searched according to the refresh frequency of the current frame image, so that the computing resource and the execution time of the processor are effectively saved.

At step S304, the preset refresh frequency is adjusted, the step S301 is returned back and the step of adjusting the common voltage of the pixels in the second vertical blank interval at the preset refresh frequency of the display device is performed until a plurality of target common voltages at a plurality of different preset refresh frequencies are obtained;
At step S305, the correspondence relationship between the plurality of preset refresh frequencies and the plurality of target common voltages at the plurality of preset refresh frequencies is established.
In one embodiment, firstly, at the preset refresh frequency of the display device, the common voltage of all pixels in the second vertical blank interval is continuously adjusted when the multi-frame images are displayed on the display device, and the flicker frequency of the multi-frame images (i.e., a brightness change condition) is detected, and the common voltage that causes the flicker frequency of the multi-frame images to be within the preset flicker frequency range is taken as the target common voltage at the preset refresh frequency of the display device; then, the preset refresh frequency is adjusted, and the steps S301, the step S302 and the step S303 are repeatedly performed until the plurality of target common voltages at a sufficient number of different preset refresh frequencies is obtained; finally, a correspondence relationship between the preset refresh frequencies and the target common voltages at the preset refresh frequencies are established.
In one embodiment, the preset flicker frequency range may be set according to the actual requirement, and the standard for setting the preset flicker frequency range is that: when the common voltage of all pixels of the display device in the second vertical blank interval is adjusted as the target common voltage at the preset refresh frequency, there is no obvious screen flicker of the multi-frame images displayed by the display device.
