DETAILED DESCRIPTION

To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Evidently, the described embodiments are only a few embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by one of ordinary skill in the art from the described embodiments of the application without inventive efforts, are within the scope of protection of the present application. The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be noted that, features in the embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other without conflict.


The local dimming technique may divide an entire backlight unit into a plurality of individually drivable backlight partitions, each of which includes one or more LED backlight sources (e.g., Mini-LED). During display, the backlight unit obtains backlight data of each backlight partition depending on gray values of different parts of a displayed image, and generates a driving signal (e.g., voltage) for the LED backlight source of the corresponding backlight partition based on the backlight data, thereby achieving individual adjustment of a luminance of each backlight partition, and further, improving the contrast of the displayed image. However, due to the influence of factors such as manufacturing process deviation and driving mode of the LEDs, it is difficult to ensure luminance uniformity in different backlight partitions, thereby affecting final display effect.



FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a display device 10 according to the embodiments of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, the display device 10 may include a backlight unit 12 and a display panel 14. The backlight unit 12 may include M×N backlight partitions 122, each of which may be independently driven. The display panel 14 may include M×N display partitions 142 in one-to-one correspondence with the backlight partitions 122. In the present application, “backlight partitions in one-to-one correspondence with the display partitions” refers to that a projection of the backlight partition on the display panel coincides with the display partition.



FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a method of controlling display of the display device shown in FIG. 1 according to the embodiments of the present application.


As shown in FIG. 2, in block 202, the display panel is caused to display a test image. Each pixel of the displayed test image may have a same gray value. In the embodiments of the present application, the gray value of each pixel may be 255, i.e., the test image may be a white image. It should be understood that the gray value of each pixel may also be other values.


In block 204, a luminance of each display partition of the display panel is acquired. How to acquire the luminance of the display partition will be described in detail below. First, a panel image of the display panel captured by an image capturing device (e.g., a camera) is acquired. In the present application, the panel image is an effect image actually displayed when the display panel displays according to data of the test image. Then, the panel image may be divided into a plurality of panel image partitions in one-to-one correspondence with the display partitions. In the present application, “panel image partitions in one-to-one correspondence with the display partitions” refers to that a projection of the panel image partition on the display panel coincides with the display partition. Then, for each panel image partition, an average of gray values of all pixels therein may be calculated. Finally, the average is taken as the luminance of the display partition corresponding to the panel image partition. FIG. 3A is a schematic diagram showing a luminance of each display partition of the display panel shown in FIG. 1, and as shown in FIG. 3A, αij represents a luminance of a display partition in a ith row and jth column, where 1≤i≤M, and 1≤j≤N, and N are positive integers greater than 2.


In block 206, a compensation coefficient is determined according to the luminance of each display partition. The process of determining the compensation coefficient will be described in detail below. Firstly, the luminance of the display partition is decoupled to obtain the decoupled luminance of the display partition. In the embodiments of the present application, the display partition 142a in the ith row and the jth column in the display panel 14 shown in FIG. 3A is taken as an example for the description of the decoupling process. Since light emitted from each LED backlight source in the backlight unit may generate light diffusion, the light emitted from LED backlight sources located at different positions all contributes to the luminance αij of the display partition 142a. The closer the LED backlight source to the display partition 142a, the greater the influence of the light emitted from the LED backlight source on the luminance αij of the display partition 142a. Therefore, the luminance αij of the display partition 142a needs to be decoupled to obtain a decoupled luminance of the display partition 142a. For example, the method of Feng Li et al. (see the paper “Deriving LED Driving Signal for Area-Adaptive LED Backlight in High Dynamic Range LCD Displays” of Feng Li et al., Advanced Display, No. 81, 2007) can be adopted for decoupling. It should be understood that the decoupled luminance may also be obtained according to other conventional methods in the art. FIG. 3B is a schematic diagram showing a decoupled luminance obtained by decoupling the luminance of the display partition shown in FIG. 3A, and as shown in FIG. 3B, βij represents a decoupled luminance of the display partition in the ith row and jth column, where 1≤i≤N, 1≤j≤N, and M and N are positive integers greater than or equal to 2. According to the embodiments of the present application, the decoupled luminance βij shown in FIG. 3B eliminates an influence of the backlight partition not corresponding to the display partition 142a to which the luminance αij belongs on the luminance αij, compared to the luminance αij of the display partition 142a shown in FIG. 3A.


After obtaining the decoupled luminance of each display partition, a ratio of the target luminance of the display partition to the decoupled luminance of the display partition is determined as a compensation coefficient. FIG. 3C shows a schematic diagram of the target luminance of each display partition, and as shown in FIG. 3C, γij represents the target luminance of the display partition in the ith row and jth column, where 1≤i≤M, 1≤j≤N, and M and N are positive integers greater than 2. In the embodiments of the present application, for the display partition 142a, its compensation coefficient is γijij. How to determine the target luminance will be described in detail below.



FIG. 4 is a schematic flowchart for determining the target luminance according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 4, in block 402, a same intermediate target luminance is set for each display partition. In the embodiments of the present application, one of the luminance αij of the display partitions shown in FIG. 3A may be selected as the intermediate target luminance γ′. For example, the intermediate target luminance γ′ may be selected as a minimum value αmin. Next, in block 404, the intermediate target luminance γ′ is decoupled to obtain the target luminance γij shown in FIG. 3C. In the embodiments of the present application, the decoupling process of the intermediate target luminance is similar to that of the luminance of the display partition, and the description is not repeated herein. By means of the decoupling process, the target luminance eliminates an influence of the backlight partition not corresponding to the display partition to which the intermediate target luminance belongs, on the intermediate target luminance, compared to the intermediate target luminance.



FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart for determining the target luminance according to another embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 5, in block 502, the display partitions are grouped according to the decoupled luminance. Specifically, first, the decoupled luminance may be divided into a plurality of predetermined ranges, each of which cannot be clearly distinguished by human eyes, in other words, the decoupled luminance within the predetermined range is perceived by the human eyes as being the same. In one example, if a minimum value βmin of the decoupled luminance of the display partitions is 970 nit and a maximum value βmax thereof is 1000 nit, the decoupled luminance may be divided into, for example, the following three predetermined ranges: a first predetermined range from 1000 nit to 990 nit, a second predetermined range from 989 nit to 980 nit and a third predetermined range from 979 nit to 970 nit. Then, the display partitions adjacent to each other and within the same predetermined range are grouped into a same group. In the case of the above example, FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing grouping of the display partitions. As shown in FIG. 6, the decoupled luminance of a portion of the display partitions of the display panel is assigned to a specific value. Group A may comprise 8 display partitions adjacent to each other, and the decoupled luminance thereof is within the first predetermined range from 1000 nit to 990 nit; group B may comprise 16 display partitions adjacent to each other, and the decoupled luminance thereof is within the third predetermined range from 979 nit to 970 nit; and the decoupled luminance of a portion of the display partitions outside of group A and group B is within the second predetermined range from 989 nit to 980 nit.


continuously with reference to FIG. 5, in block 504, it is determined whether a number of the display partitions in each group exceeds a predetermined number. The predetermined number may be depended on the size of the backlight partitions and the overall size of the display panel. Each backlight partition, for example, includes one or more independently driven LED lamps. For example, the predetermined number may be an empirically derived number of 15. If the predetermined number is not exceeded, in block 506, an average of the decoupled luminance of the display partitions outside of but directly adjacent to the group is determined and taken as a target luminance for each display partition in the group. In this application, the display partitions outside of but directly adjacent to the group refer to no other display partitions between the display partitions and at least one display partition in the group. As shown in FIG. 6, the number of the display partitions in group A does not exceed 15, and the average of the decoupled luminance of the display partitions directly adjacent to group A=(983+981+984+989+989+989+980+985+986+982+980+981+988)/13984, and the average 984 is taken as the target luminance for the 8 display partitions in group A.


Continuously with reference to FIG. 5, if in block 504 it is determined that the number of the display partitions in each group exceeds the predetermined number, the flow goes to block 508 in which, the decoupled luminance of each display partition in the group is taken as its target luminance. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the number of the display partitions in group B exceeds 15, and the target luminance of the 16 display partitions in group B is their respective decoupled luminance.


It can be seen from the embodiment that, if the number of display partitions in a group exceeds a predetermined number, the decoupled luminance thereof can be directly taken as a target luminance, without the need of calculating an average of the decoupled luminance of the display partitions outside of but directly adjacent to the group, which can increase the operation speed and reduce the operation time.


For clarity, FIG. 6 only shows grouping of a portion of the display partitions of the display panel, and it will be understood that other portions of the display partitions of the display panel may also be grouped according to the method shown in FIG. 5, and a target luminance of each display partition is determined.


According to the embodiments of the present application, the steps described in the blocks 202 to 206 may be completed in the manufacturing stage of the display panel, or at any suitable time according to the needs of users. Furthermore, the compensation coefficient determined by the step 206 may be stored in a memory, e.g. in the display panel, for use in subsequent steps.


Continuously with reference to FIG. 2, in block 208, the backlight data of the backlight partition are adjusted according to the compensation coefficient to obtain adjusted backlight data of each backlight partition. In the embodiments of the present application, the backlight data of the backlight partition may be multiplied by the compensation coefficient, and the product may be taken as the adjusted backlight data.


In block 210, the adjusted backlight data are provided to the backlight unit, and the backlight unit generates driving signals for different backlight partitions according to the adjusted backlight data, and outputs these driving signals to corresponding backlight partitions to drive LED backlight sources in these backlight partitions to emit light, so as to cause the display panel to display. It will be appreciated that the image displayed in accordance with the adjusted backlight data is the actually displayed image, and the image may be the same as or different from a test image.


It should be noted that, for any image to be actually displayed by a display device, backlight data of the backlight partitions can be adjusted according to the determined compensation coefficient, without the need of determining different compensation coefficients for different images.


It can be seen from the above description that, with the use of the method according to the embodiments of the present application, by adjusting the backlight data of the backlight partitions according to the determined compensation coefficients, it is able to improve luminance uniformity in different backlight partitions and enhance the display effect, without changing the structure of the backlight unit, the film material, and the backlight driving mode, thereby providing better visual experience for users.


The flow chart shown in FIG. 2 is for illustration only and those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications may be made to the flowchart shown or the steps described therein.
