[0012] However, the current mainstream LED ball screen splicing solutions are mainly divided into trapezoidal splicing and triangular splicing solutions. The advantages of these two solutions are simple structure, high sphericity, and easy assembly. However, due to the pixel distribution of small-pitch LEDs, the edge pixels of trapezoidal or triangular display units are unevenly distributed, forming a jagged arrangement at the edge, and after splicing, there are obvious splicing gaps, especially at the top of the sphere. Due to the sharp contraction of the arc, the pixel distribution is more dense, which will cause serious deformation of the image and affect the display effect. Summary of the invention
[0013] In view of the existing technical problems, the current mainstream LED ball screen splicing solutions are mainly divided into trapezoidal splicing and triangular splicing solutions. Due to the pixel point distribution of small-pitch LEDs, the edge pixels of the trapezoidal or triangular display units are unevenly distributed, thus forming a zigzag arrangement at the edge, and even more obvious splicing gaps are generated after splicing, especially at the top of the spherical surface. Due to the sharp contraction of the arc, the pixel points are more densely distributed, which will cause serious deformation of the image and affect the display effect.

[0032] Figure 1 It is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the curved surface of the spherical screen mentioned in the first embodiment being cut into small units;
[0033] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the position of the arc surface mentioned in the first embodiment in a three-dimensional coordinate system; DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0034] In order to make the advantages and benefits of the technical solution provided by the present invention more clearly reflected, the technical solution provided by the present invention is now further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, specifically:
[0035] Embodiment 1: This embodiment provides a screen segmentation method, which is applied to a spherical screen. The method includes:
[0036] The step of dividing the spherical surface where the spherical screen is located into six identical arc surfaces;
[0037] The step of cutting each of the arc surfaces along the longitude and latitude lines of the sphere where the arc surface is located to form n*m small units;
[0038] The figures where the edges of the small unit are located include a trapezoid with arc edges and a triangle with arc edges.
[0039] Specific:
[0040] Each unit is divided by longitude and latitude: Figure 1 , a single surface is evenly divided by longitude and latitude. The latitude direction ensures that the module size is a processable size, and the longitude direction ensures that the modules in each latitude band are congruent trapezoids, with slight differences in different longitude bands. Then, the irregular edge parts are designed separately.
[0041] For each face of the hexahedron, make parallel cuts with equal arc center angles along the latitude direction, and make uniform divisions of 90° along the meridian direction. When the arc surface is divided into m*n according to the module size requirements, each module occupies 90 / m° along the latitude direction and 90 / n° along the meridian direction. Two adjacent meridians and latitudes are divided into the required modules. The four vertices formed by the intersection of the four lines are the four vertices of the module. The detailed size of the module can be obtained by calculating the length of the four sides.
[0042] The detailed calculation method is as follows:
[0043] Establish the coordinate axis for the arc surface. The position of the arc surface in the three-dimensional coordinate system is as follows: Figure 2 ;
[0044] Calculate the equation of the cutting surface parallel to the latitude direction
[0045] The angle of any meridian dividing line is θ1, θ1=(n i -n / 2)*90 / n, any latitude cutting surface is connected with the center of the sphere, and the angle between the formed cone and the equatorial plane is θ2, θ2=(m i -m / 2)*90 / m, then the height of the cutting plane can be expressed as h=r*sinθ2, and the radius of the cutting circle is: r'=r*sinθ2, where the subscripts i and j are constants and r is the radius of the sphere.
[0046] Then the coordinate equation of any intersection point on the arc surface is:
[0047] Among them, k1 = tanθ1, r' = r*sinθ2;
[0048] Solve x, y, z to get (m+1)*(n+1) vertex coordinates, calculate the distance between the four adjacent coordinates, and you can get the module size.
[0049] Implementation method 2: This implementation method further limits the screen segmentation method provided in implementation method 1, wherein n=m.
[0050] Implementation method three: This implementation method further limits the screen segmentation method provided in implementation method one, wherein n>m.
[0051] Implementation 4: This implementation further limits the screen segmentation method provided in Implementation 1. <m。
[0052] Implementation mode 5: This implementation mode further limits the screen segmentation method provided in implementation mode 1, and each of the small units meets a preset size.
[0053] Implementation method 6: This implementation method further limits the screen segmentation method provided in implementation method 1. On each of the arc surfaces, all the small units are distributed in a centrally symmetrical manner.
[0054] Embodiment 7: This embodiment further limits the screen segmentation method provided in embodiment 1. Among the six identical curved surfaces, on the figure where one of the curved surfaces is located, the straight line where the non-diagonal symmetry axis is located is parallel to the meridian.
[0055] Embodiment 8: This embodiment further limits the screen segmentation method provided in embodiment 1, and the spherical screen is a small-pitch LED spherical screen.
[0056] Embodiment 9: This embodiment provides a spherical screen, which is formed by splicing n*m small units divided by the screen division method provided in embodiment 1.
[0057] Specific:
[0058] First, each arc is evenly divided using longitude and latitude. This means cutting on each arc along the longitude and latitude of the sphere. The direction of the latitude ensures that the module size is a processable size, while the direction of the longitude ensures that the modules in each latitude band are congruent trapezoids. There may be slight differences in different longitude bands. This step will divide each arc into multiple small units.
[0059] For each arc surface, parallel cutting with equal arc center angle is performed along the latitude direction, and uniform division of 90° is performed along the meridian direction. Assuming that the arc surface needs to be divided into m*n small units according to the module size requirements, then each module occupies 90 / m° along the latitude direction and 90 / n° along the meridian direction.
[0060] The two adjacent longitudes and latitudes are used together to divide the required modules. The four lines intersect to form the four vertices of the module, and the detailed size of the module is obtained by solving the lengths of the four sides.
[0061] Through the above steps, you can divide the sphere into six identical arcs, and get n*m small units on each arc, where the graphics corresponding to the edges of the small units can include trapezoids with arc edges and triangles with arc edges. This division method can realize the design of spherical screens and provide specific size and shape details for production.
[0062] Embodiment 10: This embodiment further limits the spherical screen provided in embodiment 9, and the spherical screen is a small-pitch LED spherical screen.
