DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to make objects, technical details and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiment will be described in a clearly and fully understandable way in connection with the drawings related to the embodiments of the present disclosure. It is obvious that the described embodiments are just a part but not all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the described embodiments herein, those skilled in the art can acquire other embodiment(s), without any inventive work, which should be within the scope of the present disclosure.

At present, the narrow border is gradually becoming a mainstream for the design and manufacture of a display device, especially for a portable display device such as a mobile phone. One means to realize the narrow border is to integrate photosensitive components (photosensitive circuits) with a fingerprint recognition function into a display device, which realizes a fingerprint recognition mode under the screen and increases an area of a display region of the display device, and thus increasing the screen proportion.

For example, a point light source, a line light source or a light source with a certain pattern, etc. can be used as a photosensitive light source of an image sensor for texture image acquisition and further for fingerprint recognition.

The principle of texture image acquisition is described in the following by taking the case that a point light source is taken as the photosensitive light source of the photosensitive component, but this does not limit the embodiments of the present disclosure.

In a reflective optical texture image acquisition device, in a texture image acquisition process, as illustrated in FIG. 1A, when a point light source L1 emits light, the light emitted by the point light source L1 irradiates a fingerprint pressing interface (e.g., an outer surface of a glass screen) at different angles, because of total reflection on the fingerprint pressing interface, a part of the light whose incident angle is larger than or equal to the critical angle θ of the total reflection undergoes total reflection, which results in that this part of the light is not able to exit from the fingerprint pressing interface, thus generating a total reflection region. Correspondingly, a part of the light whose incident angle is smaller than the critical angle θ of the total reflection exits from the fingerprint pressing interface. Therefore, a texture image can be collected by light reflected by the total reflection region, for example, a clear texture image is formed at a region B1 of the fingerprint imaging interface where the image sensor is located, the texture image corresponds to a part of the fingerprint at a region F1, the region F1 is the total reflection region, and the region B1 is an imaging region.

Specifically, for example, when a fingerprint of a user's finger presses the total reflection region F1, ridges of the fingerprint touch a surface of the total reflection region F1, so that the total reflection condition of positions corresponding to the ridges of the fingerprint is destroyed, and therefore light exits at the corresponding positions, so that an original reflection path is changed, while valleys of the fingerprint do not touch the surface of the total reflection region F1, so that the total reflection condition of positions corresponding to the valleys of the fingerprint is not destroyed, therefore light is still totally reflected at the corresponding positions, and thus the original reflection path is not changed. In this way, the light in the total reflection region causes light incident on the fingerprint imaging interface to form a texture image with alternate bright and dark at different positions because of the different influences of the valleys and the ridges of the fingerprint on the total reflection condition.

In addition, because the interference is caused by the light emitted from the fingerprint pressing interface and reflected by fingerprints or the like, or because the light emitted by the light source is reflected to the fingerprint imaging interface by other functional layers before reaching the fingerprint pressing interface, a region A1 of the fingerprint imaging interface becomes an invalid detection region, and this region cannot form an effective texture image. In the invalid region A1, a part of the light emitted by the light source L1 that is reflected to the fingerprint imaging interface by other functional layers before reaching the fingerprint pressing interface and a part of the light emitted by the light source L1 that is almost vertically reflected by the fingerprint pressing interface have higher brightness and are basically in a center of the invalid region A1, thus forming a highlight region. Because the highlight region has a higher brightness, a larger photoelectric signal is generated in a part of the image sensor array corresponding to the highlight region, which is easy to form a afterimage, thus the invalid region A1 is also known as a afterimage region.

For example, FIG. 1B illustrates a schematic diagram of an imaging range of a point light source. As illustrated in FIG. 1B, in a photosensitive range of the point light source, an effective imaging range is in an annular shape, that is, in FIG. 1B, an annular region between an inner circle 61 and an outer circle 62 is the effective imaging range which corresponds to the imaging region B1 corresponding to the total reflection region F1 in FIG. 1A; a region within the inner circle 61 of the annular shape (hereinafter referred to as a ring center 60) is the invalid imaging region, corresponding to the invalid region A1 in FIG. 1A; a part of a region (the shaded region) 13 inside the ring center 60 is the highlight region (afterimage region), and it is easy to cause a afterimage by the highlight region in the image sensor array during imaging.

In the process of texture recognition, the effective imaging range formed by one light source is limited, so a plurality of side by side light sources (e.g., a plurality of light sources arranged in an array) can be simultaneously provided, and the effective imaging ranges of the light sources are combined to form a larger effective imaging range. However, as mentioned above, there is still an ineffective region for each light source, therefore in some cases, only one light source array may still fail to satisfy the requirements of texture recognition. As for this, for example, a method of lighting a plurality of light sources or a plurality of light source arrays in a time-sharing manner can be adopted to form a plurality of effective imaging ranges, and the effective imaging ranges of one light source array cover the ineffective regions of another light source array, so that the effective imaging ranges of the different light source arrays are superposed and spliced, and a larger texture image can be acquired. However, when the plurality of light sources (or light source arrays) are lit in the time-sharing manner to form a larger range of texture image, because the lighting interval time between two adjacent light sources is short, the influence of a highlight region formed by one light source on the corresponding part of the photosensitive component array does not disappear quickly, but partially remains in the corresponding part of the photosensitive component array. When the corresponding part of the photosensitive component array is located in the effective imaging region of other light sources lit later, the above-mentioned remained influence causes afterimages in the spliced texture images, thus causing an incomplete texture image formed by splicing the effective imaging ranges of the different light sources and further causing an unrecognizable texture image or inaccurate texture image recognition. On the other hand, if the lighting interval time of two adjacent light sources is prolonged, the time of texture image acquisition is prolonged and the user experience is affected.

It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the interval time between two adjacent lighting of the light source array is referred to as one frame, and a texture image acquired by lighting the light source array once is referred to as one image frame. For example, in the above-mentioned texture image splicing method, the light source arrays corresponding to two adjacent frames are two different light source arrays adjacent to each other (e.g., the light sources respectively constituting the two arrays are offset from each other by a predetermined interval along a predetermined direction (e.g., transverse direction or longitudinal direction). Of course, in the process of acquiring the texture image, all light source arrays may be lit at the same time in each frame, and then the plurality of image frames acquired are processed to acquire the final texture image.

The above afterimage phenomenon is explained from another perspective below. For example, photosensitive components usually adopt photosensitive materials to perform photoelectric conversion on the light received by the photosensitive components, so as to generate carrier charges, and then perform an analog-to-digital conversion on the charges, so as to acquire a signal amount corresponding to the texture. However, the inventor discovered through research that because of the material characteristics of photosensitive materials (such as amorphous silicon, gallium arsenide and other semiconductor materials), the charges generated after a photoelectric conversion may not be completely derived from the photosensitive component in a short time, which causes that, in the process of acquiring the texture image, the residual charges of the previous frame in the photosensitive component superpose with the charges of the current frame, thus causing the afterimage phenomenon, further causing the acquired texture image to be unclear, and finally affecting the effectiveness and accuracy of texture recognition.

In addition, the inventor further found through research that the above-described afterimage phenomenon gradually fades or even disappear over time. For example, FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B show schematic diagrams of an afterimage phenomenon that occurs when adopting a method of image splicing. FIG. 2A shows a texture image obtained at a first moment, for example, a light source array with a relative position at the lower right corner starts to be lit at the first moment; FIG. 2B shows a texture image obtained at a second moment; and the second moment is later than the first moment. In FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B, LA1 represents an afterimage generated by residual charges in a previous frame because a light source array with a relative position at the upper left corner is lit; and LA2 represents a bright spot generated when the light source array in a current frame is normally lit. The afterimage LA1 in FIG. 2B fades relative to the afterimage LA1 in FIG. 2A. As illustrated in FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B, the afterimage phenomenon gradually fades over time.

In addition, the inventor further found through research that when the above-described afterimage phenomenon fades, the fading speed is not linear with respect to time, and the fading speed of the afterimage phenomenon is faster first and then becomes slower, that is, the fading speed is getting slower and slower. That is, a speed of discharging the residual charges of the previous frame in a photosensitive component is getting slower and slower. For example, FIG. 3 shows a time-varying curve C1 of a residual signal amount in the photosensitive component. Generally, because the residual charges in the photosensitive component cannot be directly obtained, a certain circuit is needed to convert the residual charges into other parameters such as a voltage value, so as to obtain a corresponding residual signal amount.

A texture image acquisition method, a texture image acquisition circuit and a display panel provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure are just intended to obtain a discharged amount of residual charges within a certain integral time period according to the above-described variation rule when the afterimage phenomenon fades, so as to further obtain a photosensitive signal corresponding to a texture image, so that effectiveness and accuracy in obtaining the texture image can be improved.

Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present disclosure and examples thereof are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

At least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides a texture image acquisition method; for example, the texture image acquisition method may be used for a texture image acquisition circuit; FIG. 4 shows an exemplary texture image acquisition circuit 10, and the texture image acquisition circuit 10 comprises a photosensitive circuit 100. Hereinafter, operation steps comprised in the texture image acquisition method are described with reference to FIG. 4, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7. The texture image acquisition method comprises operation steps of:

Step S100: allowing the photosensitive circuit 100 to receive light from a texture, and obtaining a first curve C1 based on a signal amount accumulated by the photosensitive circuit 100 within a first integral time period IP1, in which the first curve C1 is a time-varying curve of a residual signal amount, and the residual signal amount is a signal amount remaining after a signal amount which remains after a signal amount, left over by the photosensitive circuit 100 before the first integral time period IP1, is released over time.

Step S200: obtaining a first acquisition value based on a signal amount accumulated by the photosensitive circuit 100 within a second integral time period IP2, in which the second integral time period is after the first integral time period.

Step S300: obtaining a first photosensitive signal of an image of the texture, based on the first curve C1 and the first acquisition value.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, in terms of time sequence, the second integral time period IP2 is after the first integral time period IP1. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 6, in some embodiments, the second integral time period IP2 and the first integral time period IP1 are continuous in terms of time sequence, that is, there is no time interval between the second integral time period IP2 and the first integral time period IP1. Or, as illustrated in FIG. 7, in some other embodiments, the second integral time period IP2 and the first integral time period IP1 are discontinuous in terms of time sequence, that is, there is an time interval between the second integral time period IP2 and the first integral time period IP1.

For example, after a light source array used for a previous frame is turned off, a light source array used for a current frame is turned on, and at this time, residual charges of the previous frame exist in the photosensitive circuit 100. As can be known from the above, the residual charges can be gradually discharged over time, and meanwhile, the photosensitive circuit 100 converts the received light, for example, the light from the texture, into electric charges. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the above-described texture image acquisition circuit 10 further comprises an integral calculation circuit 200; for example, the integral calculation circuit 200 is configured to perform an integral calculation on the amount of charges accumulated by the photosensitive circuit 100 and convert an analog amount of charges into a digital signal amount, thereby obtaining the signal amount corresponding to the amount of charges accumulated by the photosensitive circuit 100. For example, when the photosensitive circuit 100 and the integral calculation circuit 200 are turned on and are electrically connected to each other, the amount of charges accumulated by the photosensitive circuit 100 can be discharged to the integral calculation circuit 200; and the discharged amount of charges includes two portions: one portion is a discharged amount of the residual charges of the previous frame, and the other portion is a discharged amount corresponding to an amount of charges obtained by converting the received light in the current frame by the photosensitive circuit 100. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the signal amount which remains after a signal amount, left over by the photosensitive circuit 100 before the first integral time period IP1, is released over time is referred as the residual signal amount, and the first curve C1 is a time-varying curve of the residual signal amount.

For example, a control signal GT is provided to the photosensitive circuit 100 during a certain time period A to cause the photosensitive circuit 100 and the integral calculation circuit 200 to be turned off; during the time period A, the residual charges in the photosensitive circuit 100 are discharged over time, and meanwhile, the photosensitive circuit 100 also converts the received light into electric charges. Then, a control signal GT may be provided to the photosensitive circuit 100 to cause the photosensitive circuit 100 and the integral calculation circuit 200 to be turned on, so that the photosensitive circuit 100 can discharge the charges accumulated in the time period A to the integral calculation circuit 200, and the integral calculation circuit 200 performs an integral calculation on an amount of the received charges to obtain a corresponding signal amount, for example, the signal amount may be obtained from a data output terminal DT of the integral calculation circuit 200; for example, the integral calculation circuit 200 is further configured to receive a reference voltage Vref to perform the integral calculation.

In step S100, because the amount of charges discharged by the residual charges in the first integral time period IP1 varies with time, the first curve C1 can be obtained according to the residual signal amount. The first curve C1 is only related to the residual signal amount, and unrelated to the signal amount obtained by the photosensitive circuit 100 through converting the received light.

In step S200, the obtained first acquisition value includes two portions: one portion is a signal amount released by the residual signal amount in the second integral time period IP2, and the other portion is a signal amount obtained by the photosensitive circuit 100 through converting the received light.

Then in step S300, the first photosensitive signal of the image of the texture can be obtained based on the first curve C1 and the first acquisition value. For example, a portion about the residual signal amount in the first acquisition value may be removed based on the first curve C1, which cause the obtained first photosensitive signal to be only related to the light from the texture that is received by the photosensitive circuit 100, and unrelated to the residual signal amount. For example, after the first photosensitive signal is obtained, the first photosensitive signal may be further processed by a processing circuit to obtain a texture image, thereby completing texture recognition. The texture image acquisition method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can cause the finally obtained first photosensitive signal to be only related to the light from the texture that is received by the photosensitive circuit 100, and unrelated to the residual signal amount of the photosensitive circuit 100, so that the effectiveness and the accuracy of final texture recognition may be improved.

For example, in the texture image acquisition method provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, the above-described step S300 includes the following operation steps.

Step S310: obtaining the signal amount released by the residual signal amount within the second integral time period IP2 based on the first curve C1, and recording the signal amount released by the residual signal amount within the second integral time period IP2 based on the first curve C1 as a first reference value.

Step S320: subtracting the first reference value from the first acquisition value to obtain the first photosensitive signal.

For example, after the first curve C1 is obtained, a value of a residual signal amount of the photosensitive circuit 100 that corresponds to any moment can be obtained, and then in step S310, the signal amount released by the residual signal amount within the second integral time period IP2, that is, the first reference value, is obtained based on the first curve C1. For example, a value of a residual signal amount corresponding to a starting moment of the second integral time period IP2 may be obtained based on the first curve C1, a value of a residual signal amount corresponding to an ending moment of the second integral time period IP2 may be obtained based on the first curve C1; and then, the first reference value is obtained by subtracting the value of the residual signal amount corresponding to the ending moment of the second integral time period IP2 from the value of the residual signal amount corresponding to the starting moment of the second integral time period IP2. Next, in the step S320, the first photosensitive signal can be obtained by subtracting the first reference value from the first acquisition value.

According to the above description, after the first curve C1 is obtained, a value of a residual signal amount of the photosensitive circuit 100 that corresponds to any moment can be obtained, therefore in the texture image acquisition method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second integral time period IP2 is not required to be continuous with the first integral time period IP1, and as illustrated in FIG. 7, the second integral time period IP2 and the first integral time period IP1 may be discontinuous, that is, there is an time interval between the second integral time period IP2 and the first integral time period IP1.

In a texture image acquisition method provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, one example of the above-described step S100 includes the following operation steps.

Step S110: allowing the first integral time period IP1 to include N sub-integral time periods.

Step S120: obtaining a signal amount accumulated by the photosensitive circuit 100 within an n-th sub-integral time period at an end of the n-th sub-integral time period, and recording the signal amount accumulated by the photosensitive circuit 100 within the n-th sub-integral time period at the end of the n-th sub-integral time period as an n-th sub-acquisition value.

Step S130: obtaining the first curve C1 according to N sub-acquisition values.

N is greater than or equal to 2, and n satisfies 1≤n≤N.

For example, in some embodiments, as illustrated in FIG. 8, the above-described N=3, that is, one specific example of the above-described step S100 includes the following operation steps.

Step S111: allowing the first integral time period IP1 to include a first sub-integral time period SIP1, a second sub-integral time period SIP2, and a third sub-integral time period SIP3. For example, the second sub-integral time period SIP2 and the first sub-integral time period SIP1 are continuous, and the third sub-integral time period SIP3 and the second sub-integral time period SIP2 are continuous.

Step S121: obtaining a signal amount accumulated by the photosensitive circuit 100 within the first sub-integral time period SIP1 at an end of the first sub-integral time period SIP1, and recording the signal amount accumulated by the photosensitive circuit 100 within the first sub-integral time period SIP1 at the end of the first sub-integral time period SIP1 as a first sub-acquisition value F1; obtaining a signal amount accumulated by the photosensitive circuit 100 within the second sub-integral time period SIP2 at an end of the second sub-integral time period SIP2, and recording the signal amount accumulated by the photosensitive circuit 100 within the second sub-integral time period SIP2 at the end of the second sub-integral time period SIP2 as a second sub-acquisition value F2; obtaining a signal amount accumulated by the photosensitive circuit 100 within the third sub-integral time period SIP3 at an end of the third sub-integral time period SIP3, and recording the signal amount accumulated by the photosensitive circuit 100 within the third sub-integral time period SIP3 at an end of the third sub-integral time period SIP3 as a third sub-acquisition value F3.

Step S131: obtaining the first curve C1, according to the first sub-acquisition value F1, the second sub-acquisition value F2, and the third sub-acquisition value F3.

For example, in some embodiments, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the first curve C1 satisfies a first exponential function y=ka^x, then the above-described step S131 may include the following operation steps.

Step S1311: obtaining a first equation F1=ka⁰−ka^x1+W1 according to the first sub-acquisition value F1 and the first exponential function;

Step S1312: obtaining a second equation F2=ka^x1−ka^x2+W2 according to the second sub-acquisition value F2 and the first exponential function;

Step S1313: obtaining a third equation F3=ka^x2−ka^x3+W3 according to the third sub-acquisition value F3 and the first exponential function; and

Step S1314: obtaining the first exponential function according to the first equation, the second equation and the third equation.

In the above-described expressions of the exponential functions, F1 represents the first sub-acquisition value, F2 represents the second sub-acquisition value, F3 represents the third sub-acquisition value, x1 represents an ending moment of the first sub-integral time period SIP1, x2 represents an ending moment of the second sub-integral time period SIP2, x3 represents an ending moment of the third sub-integral time period SIP3, W1 represents a signal amount obtained as the photosensitive circuit 100 converts light from the texture within the first sub-integral time period SIP1, W2 represents a signal amount obtained by the photosensitive circuit 100 through converting the light from the texture within the second sub-integral time period SIP2, and W3 represents a signal amount obtained by the photosensitive circuit 100 through converting the light from the texture within the third sub-integral time period SIP3.

Hereinafter, one specific example of the above-described step S111, step S121 and step S131 are described with reference to FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 9.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 9, in one example, the first sub-integral time period SIP1, the second sub-integral time period SIP2, and the third sub-integral time period SIP3 are of an equal duration. For example, in some embodiments, the first sub-integral time period SIP1 is of a duration of 10 milliseconds (ms).

For example, at a zero moment, a low-level control signal GT is provided to the photosensitive circuit 100 to cause the photosensitive circuit 100 and the integral calculation circuit 200 to be turned off, then at the end of the first sub-integral time period SIP1, that is, x1=10 ms, a high-level control signal GT is provided to the photosensitive circuit 100 to cause the photosensitive circuit 100 and the integral calculation circuit 200 to be turned on, so that the first sub-acquisition value F1 is obtained at the data output terminal DT, as F1=k−ka¹⁰+W1. It should be noted that, in the first sub-integral time period SIP1, a pulse width of the control signal GT (i.e., duration at the high level) is, for example, on an order of microseconds (μs), so the pulse width of the control signal GT can be ignored relative to the duration of the first sub-integral time period SIP1. Similarly, in description hereinafter, the pulse width of the control signal GT can also be ignored as for the duration of the second sub-integral time period SIP2 and the duration of the third sub-integral time period SIP3, and no detail about this is repeated.

After the first sub-integral time period SIP1 ends, when the second sub-integral time period SIP2 starts, a low-level control signal GT is provided to the photosensitive circuit 100 to cause the photosensitive circuit 100 and the integral calculation circuit 200 to be turned off, then at the end of the second sub-integral time period SIP2, that is, x2=20 ms, a high-level control signal GT is provided to the photosensitive circuit 100 to cause the photosensitive circuit 100 and the integral calculation circuit 200 to be turned on, so that the second sub-acquisition value F2 can be obtained at the data output terminal DT, as F2=k¹⁰−ka²⁰+W2.

After the second sub-integral time period SIP2 ends, when the third sub-integral time period SIP3 starts, a low-level control signal GT is provided to the photosensitive circuit 100 to cause the photosensitive circuit 100 and the integral calculation circuit 200 to be turned off, then at the end of the third sub-integral time period SIP3, that is, x3=30 ms, a high-level control signal GT is provided to the photosensitive circuit 100 to cause the photosensitive circuit 100 and the integral calculation circuit 200 to be turned on, so that the third sub-acquisition value F3 can be obtained at the data output terminal DT, as F3=k²⁰−ka³⁰+W3.

The first equation, the second equation and the third equation are organized into a first equation set; because the first sub-integral time period SIP1, the second sub-integral time period SIP2, and the third sub-integral time period SIP3 are all of a duration of 10 ms, W1=W2=W3; and thus, the first equation set includes three equations and three unknown quantities; and k and a can be obtained by solving the first equation set, and thereby the first curve C1 is finally obtained.

For example, in the texture image acquisition method provided by some embodiments, the second integral time period IP2 is of a duration of 60 ms, so the first reference value can be obtained according to the first curve C1 as well as the starting moment and the ending moment of the second integral time period IP2, and then the first photosensitive signal of the image of the texture can be obtained by subtracting the first reference value from the first acquisition value.

It should be noted that, W1 (W2 or W3), that is, the signal amount obtained by the photosensitive circuit 100 through converting the light from the texture within the first sub-integral time period SIP1 (the second sub-integral time period SIP2 or the third sub-integral time period SIP3), can also be obtained by solving the above-described first equation set; and the texture image can also be obtained by performing data processing on the signal amount. However, because the residual signal amount in the photosensitive circuit 100 is released more at the beginning than the time period after that, a value of above-described W1 is relatively small, which is not favorable for subsequent data processing.

In the texture image acquisition method provided by at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting the second integral time period IP2, because the residual signal amount of the photosensitive circuit 100 in the second integral time period IP2 is small, that is, the first reference value is relatively small, the finally obtained signal amount of the image about the texture included in the first photosensitive signal is relatively large, which thus is more favorable for the subsequent data processing to obtain a more effective and more accurate texture image.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, setting the duration of the first sub-integral time period SIP1 to 10 milliseconds (ms) and setting the duration of the second integral time period IP2 to 60 ms are only exemplary; the embodiments of the present disclosure include but are not limited thereto; and according to actual needs, other suitable values may also be selected for the duration of the first sub-integral time period SIP1 and the second integral time period IP2.

For example, in some other embodiments, as illustrated in FIG. 3, the first curve C1 satisfies the first exponential function y=ka^x, and the above-described step S131 includes the following operation steps.

Step S1315: obtaining a fourth equation F2−F1=2ka^x1−ka⁰−ka^x2according to the first sub-acquisition value F1, the second sub-acquisition value F2, and the first exponential function;

Step S1316: obtaining a fifth equation F3−F2=2ka^x2−ka^x1−ka^x3according to the second sub-acquisition value F2, the third sub-acquisition value F3, and the first exponential function; and

Step S1317 obtaining the first exponential function according to the fourth equation and the fifth equation.

In the above-described expressions, F1 represents the first sub-acquisition value, F2 represents the second sub-acquisition value, F3 represents the third sub-acquisition value, x1 represents the ending moment of the first sub-integral time period, x2 represents the ending moment of the second sub-integral time period, and x3 represents the ending moment of the third sub-integral time period.

Hereinafter, one specific example of the above-described step S111, step S121 and step S131 is described with reference to FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 9.

The fourth equation F2−F1=2ka¹⁰−k−ka²⁰may be obtained according to the first sub-acquisition value F1 and the second sub-acquisition value F2 obtained; and the fifth equation F3−F2=2ka²⁰−ka¹⁰−ka³⁰may be obtained according to the second sub-acquisition value F2 and the third sub-acquisition value F3 obtained.

The fourth equation and the fifth equation are organized into a second equation set; the second equation set includes two equations and two unknown quantities; and by solving the second equation set, k and a can be obtained, thereby the first curve C1 is finally obtained.

It should be noted that, the foregoing embodiments are described by taking that the first integral time period IP1 includes three sub-integral time periods; the embodiments of the present disclosure include but are not limited thereto; for example, in some cases, the first curve C1 may also be a linear curve varying with respect to time, and in this case, it is only necessary to make the first integral time period IP1 include two sub-integral time periods, and no details will be repeated here.

In the texture image acquisition method provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure, as illustrated in FIG. 10, the texture image acquisition method further comprises the following operation steps.

Step S400: resetting the photosensitive circuit 100 in a reset time period RP, in which the reset time period RP precedes the first integral time period IP1.

As illustrated in FIG. 4 and FIG. 10, in the reset time period RP, a high-level control signal GT is provided to the photosensitive circuit 100 to cause the photosensitive circuit 100 and the integral calculation circuit 200 to be turned on, so that the photosensitive circuit 100 discharges charges through the integral calculation circuit 200; however, it should be noted that, after the reset time period RP, charges of the previous frame that remain in the photosensitive circuit 100 cannot be completely discharged.

For example, in some embodiments, as illustrated in FIG. 5, the photosensitive circuit 100 includes a photosensitive component 110 and a switch circuit 120; and the switch circuit 120 is electrically connected with the photosensitive component 110 and the integral calculation circuit 200. In this case, the above-described step S400 includes the following operation steps.

Step S210: providing a control signal GT to the switch circuit 120 at the beginning of the second integral time period IP2 to cause the switch circuit 120 to be turned off, then providing a control signal GT to the switch circuit 120 at the end of the second integral time period IP2 to cause the switch circuit 120 to be turned on, and performing an integral calculation using the integral calculation circuit 200 so as to obtain the first acquisition value.

Step S1201: providing a control signal GT to the switch circuit 120 at the beginning of the n-th sub-integral time period to cause the switch circuit 120 to be turned off, then providing a control signal GT to the switch circuit 120 at the end of the n-th sub-integral time period to cause the switch circuit 120 to be turned on, and performing an integral calculation using the integral calculation circuit 200 so as to obtain the n-th sub-acquisition value.

A texture image acquisition circuit 10 provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented as a circuit structure illustrated in FIG. 14; and it should be noted that FIG. 14 does not show the control circuit 300.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 14, the photosensitive component 110 may be a PIN-type diode; and the embodiment of the present disclosure includes but is not limited thereto; for example, the photosensitive component 110 may also be other type of photodiode (e.g., a PN-type diode or an OPD-type diode), or various suitable types of photosensitive components. According to needs, the photosensitive component 110 may, for example, sense only light of a certain wavelength (e.g., red light or green light), or may also sense all visible light.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 14, the switch circuit 120 may be a transistor T, for example, the transistor T is an N-type transistor. The integral calculation circuit 200 may be implemented to include an operational amplifier D and a storage capacitor C.

As illustrated in FIG. 14, a first electrode (e.g., an anode) of the PIN-type diode is configured to receive a first voltage Vd; a second electrode (e.g., a cathode) of the PIN-type diode is connected with a first electrode of the transistor T; a gate electrode of the transistor T is configured to receive the control signal GT; a second electrode of the transistor T is connected with an inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier D; a non-inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier D is configured to receive a reference voltage Vref; a first electrode of the storage capacitor C is connected with the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier D; a second electrode of the storage capacitor C is connected with an output terminal of the operational amplifier D; and the output terminal of the operational amplifier D is used as the data output terminal DT. It should be noted that, in order that the PIN-type diode may convert received light into electric charges, a voltage applied across both ends of the PIN-type diode needs to be a reverse voltage, that is, the reference voltage Vref needs to be greater than the first voltage Vd. For example, the reference voltage Vref is 1 V and the first voltage Vd is −2 V; or the reference voltage Vref is 1.25 V and the first voltage Vd is −4 V.

It should be noted that the transistors used in the embodiments of the present disclosure may all be thin film transistors or field effect transistors or other switch devices with the same characteristics. The source electrode and drain electrode of the transistor used here may be symmetrical in structure, therefore the source electrode and drain electrode are structurally indistinguishable. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to distinguish the two electrodes of the transistor except the gate electrode, one of the two electrodes is directly described as the first electrode, and the other of the two electrodes is described as the second electrode, therefore the first electrode and the second electrode of all or part of the transistors in the embodiments of the present disclosure are interchangeable as required. For example, the first electrode of the transistor described in the embodiments of the present disclosure is the source electrode and the second electrode is the drain electrode; alternatively, the first electrode of the transistor is the drain electrode and the second electrode is the source electrode.

In addition, transistors can be divided into n-type transistors and p-type transistors according to the characteristics thereof. In the case that the transistor is a p-type transistor, the on voltage is a low level voltage (e.g., 0 V, −5 V, −10 V or other suitable voltage), and the off voltage is a high level voltage (e.g., 5 V, 10 V or other suitable voltage); in the case that the transistor is an n-type transistor, the on voltage is a high level voltage (e.g., 5 V, 10 V or other suitable voltage), and the off voltage is a low level voltage (e.g., 0 V, −5 V, −10 V or other suitable voltage). The transistors in the embodiments of the present disclosure are described by taking an n-type transistor as an example. Based on the description and teaching of this implementation in the present disclosure, one of ordinary skill in the art can easily think that the embodiments of the present disclosure can also adopt p-type transistors without creative labor.

Hereinafter, a working principle of the texture image acquisition circuit 10 illustrated in FIG. 14 is described with reference to a time sequence diagram of the signal illustrated in FIG. 10.

In the reset time period RP, a high-level control signal GT is provided to the gate electrode of the transistor T to cause the transistor T to be turned on, so that the PIN-type diode discharges charges through the transistor T and the operational amplifier D.

Then the first sub-integral time period SIP1 starts, and a low-level control signal GT is provided to the gate electrode of the transistor T to cause the transistor T to be turned off; in the first sub-integral time period SIP1, the PIN-type diode may convert received light into electric charges on the one hand, and on the other hand, the residual charges in the PIN-type diode are discharged. At the end of the first sub-integral time period SIP1, a high-level control signal GT is provided to the gate electrode of the transistor T to cause the transistor T to be turned on, so that the charges accumulated by the PIN-type diode within the first sub-integral time period SIP1 are transmitted to the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier D through the transistor T; and then through an integral calculation of the operational amplifier D and the storage capacitor C, the first sub-acquisition value F1 is obtained at the data output terminal DT.

The description in the above-described first sub-integral time period SIP1 may be referred to for the working principle of the texture image acquisition circuit 10 in the second sub-integral time period SIP2, the third sub-integral time period SIP3, and the second integral time period IP2, and no detail is repeated here. The second sub-acquisition value F2, the third sub-acquisition value F3, and the first acquisition value may be obtained respectively through the second sub-integral time period SIP2, the third sub-integral time period SIP3, and the second integral time period IP2.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 13, the control circuit 300 is further configured to be electrically connected with the data output terminal DT, so that the first sub-acquisition value F1, the second sub-acquisition value F2, the third sub-acquisition value F3 and the first acquisition value as described above may be received from the data output terminal DT; then the control circuit 300 may obtain the first curve C1 according to the first sub-acquisition value F1, the second sub-acquisition value F2 and the third sub-acquisition value F3; next, the first reference value may be obtained according to the first curve C1; and finally, the first reference value is subtracted from the first acquisition value to obtain the first photosensitive signal.

For example, the control circuit 300 may transmit the first photosensitive signal to a processing circuit at a back end for further data processing, so as to obtain the texture image according to the first photosensitive signal. For another example, the control circuit 300 may also be directly used to process the first photosensitive signal.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first sub-acquisition value F1, the second sub-acquisition value F2, the third sub-acquisition value F3, the first acquisition value, and the first reference value may be, for example, voltage values; and the embodiment of the present disclosure includes but is not limited to this.

It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the texture recognition region 211 is a region where the operation body performs the texture recognition on the display panel 1. The size of the texture recognition region 211 illustrated in FIG. 15 is only schematic. For example, the size of the texture recognition region 211 may be the same as the size of the display region 210, that is, the operation body can perform the texture recognition at any position of the display region 210 of the display panel 1.

It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the operation body with textures may be a hand, and in this case, the textures in the texture image acquisition method are skin textures, such as fingerprints, palmprints, etc. In addition, the operation body with textures can also be non-living bodies with certain textures, such as objects with certain textures made of materials such as resin, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not specifically limited to this.

For example, as illustrated in FIG. 15, a pixel unit array is provided in the display region 210, and the pixel unit array includes a plurality of pixel units arranged in an array. Herein, in order to distinguish different pixel units, for example, pixel units located in the texture recognition region 211 are labeled PU2, and pixel units located in the display region 210 but not in the texture recognition region 211 are labeled PU1. Each of the pixel units PU2 located in the texture recognition region 211 includes any one of the texture image acquisition circuits 10 provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure.

For example, each pixel unit (including pixel unit PU1 and pixel unit PU2) includes a thin film transistor and a light emitting device, the light emitting device includes, for example, an anode, a cathode, and a light emitting layer between the anode and the cathode. For example, the pixel unit array of the display panel 1 is implemented to be a light source array, and the plurality of pixel units are implemented to be a plurality of light sources.

For another example, in some other embodiments, as illustrated in FIG. 17, a plurality of texture image acquisition circuits 10 may also share a same integral calculation circuit 200 (operational amplifier D and storage capacitor C), which, thus, may reduce an area occupied by the plurality of texture image acquisition circuits 10 that need to be arranged. FIG. 11 shows a time sequence diagram of signals for the plurality of texture image acquisition circuits illustrated in FIG. 17; as illustrated in FIG. 11, because texture image acquisition circuits in pixel units located in a same column and in different rows need to share the same integral calculation circuit 200, control signals (GT(1), GT(2), GT(3), . . . , GT(n)) of the texture image acquisition circuits in different rows of pixel units are sequentially provided in terms of time sequence.

In this case, the pixel unit PU2 can also serve as the photosensitive light source of the texture image acquisition circuit 10. Embodiments of the present disclosure include but are not limited to this, for example, the texture image acquisition circuit 10 can be separately provided, for example, the texture image acquisition circuit 10 is attached to the back surface of the display substrate of the display panel 1, in this case, it is necessary to separately provide a light emitting element as a photosensitive light source of the texture image acquisition circuit 10.

For example, the display panel 1 is an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display panel or a quantum dot light emitting diodes (QLED) display panel, etc. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not specifically limited to this.
