[0069] The technical solutions of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present disclosure described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0070] OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) screens are now widely used in electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets. The OLED module uses a driver chip to provide power to the panel. The driver chip generally provides three voltages to control the OLED's light emission: the screen's positive voltage (ELVDD), the screen's negative voltage (ELVSS), and the analog power supply voltage (AVDD). Figure 1 The sub-pixel circuit of OLED is shown in the figure. Figure 1 Briefly explain the principle of OLED light emission.

[0071] like Figure 1 As shown, the light-emitting device 10 is the sub-pixel light-emitting diode of the OLED, typically a red, green, or blue light-emitting diode. Data is the AVDD voltage divider, i.e., the driving voltage. Specifically, at different display brightness levels of the OLED, the voltage difference VF between ELVDD and ELVSS can be set to multiple voltage difference levels. In a certain level, the voltage difference VF between ELVDD and ELVSS remains constant. For example, at a certain display brightness level of the OLED, the voltage difference VF between ELVDD and ELVSS is constant. By adjusting the driving voltage Data of each sub-pixel circuit, the opening degree of the transistor T1 is controlled, thereby controlling the luminous intensity of the light-emitting device 10 and achieving normal display of the screen.

[0072] Some electronic devices with OLED screens experience color distortion when switching between display interfaces. For example, in low-light conditions, an OLED phone may experience a green screen flash when switching from the lock screen to the desktop interface, significantly impacting the user experience.

[0073] Based on the above-mentioned defects, the inventors of this case discovered through research that the abnormal color display occurs because the VF (the voltage difference between ELVDD and ELVSS) of the front and rear display interfaces is different, and the VF changes over a certain period of time. When the duration of the VF change exceeds a certain threshold, the change process can be captured by the human eye. At the same time, according to the aforementioned OLED light-emitting principle, it can be seen that VF changes will affect the luminous intensity of the light-emitting device 10, and different color sub-pixels are affected differently by VF. Through research, the inventors of this case found that the green sub-pixel is more sensitive to the brightness change caused by VF. Therefore, the green sub-pixel is out of balance with the red and blue sub-pixels during the VF change process, which is externally manifested as a green screen flash.

[0074] Taking OLED screen phones as an example, with the development of full-screen phones, some phones use optical under-screen fingerprint sensors. On the lock screen, to increase screen brightness and ensure fingerprint recognition success rate, the positive voltage ELVDD is usually 4.6V and the negative voltage ELVSS is -4.4V, with VF = 4.6-(-4.4) = 9V. However, in low brightness conditions, when the desktop is displayed after unlocking, the positive voltage ELVDD is 4.6V and the negative voltage ELVSS increases to -2.6V, with VF = 4.6-(-2.6) = 7.2V. In other words, at the moment the screen is unlocked, ELVSS changes from -4.6V to -2.6V.

[0075] like Figure 2 As shown, the first display interface is the lock screen interface, and the second display interface is the unlocked desktop interface. In the first display interface, ELVSS is V1 = -4.4V, in which case the white balance parameter of the OLED pixel is b1. In the second display interface, ELVSS is V2 = -2.6V, in which case the white balance parameter of the OLED pixel is b2. White balance parameters are parameters that maintain the RGB color balance of the OLED screen, which will be understood by those skilled in the art and need not be elaborated on.

[0076] However, when the first display interface switches to the second display interface, there is a voltage transition stage T. The duration of the voltage transition stage T (t2-t1) can reach 200ms, which is long enough for the human eye to detect. Since the ELVSS changes linearly during the voltage transition stage, the white balance parameter b2 under V2 cannot be applied during the voltage transition stage, which means that the OLED screen will have color abnormalities. Figure 3 As shown, as VF changes, the intensity of the red (R), green (G), and blue (B) light-emitting devices varies unequally. The green G light-emitting device is more sensitive to VF changes than the red (R), green (G), and blue (B) light-emitting devices. Therefore, during the voltage change phase, the light intensity of the green G light-emitting device rapidly decays to maintain balance with the red (R) and blue (B) light-emitting devices. This results in the screen flashing green at the moment the display interface switches.

[0077] Based on the above research by the inventors of this case, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display control method, device, electronic device and storage medium to solve the above-mentioned problem of abnormal OLED color display.

[0078] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display control method, the execution subject of the method may be a processor of an electronic device or a driver chip of an OLED module. Figure 4 The display control method in some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown in FIG.

[0079] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the display control method of the present disclosure includes:

[0080] S410 : In the voltage transformation stage of the display module, a driving voltage corresponding to each update period is generated according to pre-stored white balance parameters.

[0081] S420 , controlling the light-emitting devices in the pixel circuit of the display module to emit light in a corresponding update period according to the driving voltage.

[0082] Specifically, the display module is an OLED screen component, and the voltage transformation stage refers to the stage where the voltage difference VF between the positive voltage ELVDD and the negative voltage ELVSS changes from a first voltage difference to a second voltage difference. Figure 2 In the example, the voltage change stage T is generated when the display module switches from the first display interface to the second display interface.

[0083] It should be understood that the disclosed method is not limited to switching between two display interfaces. It should be understood that it is applicable to all scenarios where color display anomalies are caused by changes in the voltage difference VF. For example, the process of switching from the lock screen to the unlock screen of a mobile phone; or the process of VF changing from a first voltage difference to a second voltage difference when the brightness of the display module changes. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0084] When the VF of the display module is at a first voltage difference, the white balance parameters are the first white balance parameters, that is, when VF is at the first voltage difference, the display module maintains RGB color balance under the first white balance parameters. When the VF of the display module is at a second voltage difference, the white balance parameters are the second white balance parameters, that is, when VF is at the second voltage difference, the display module maintains RGB color balance under the second white balance parameters.

[0085] During the voltage transition phase, however, the second white balance parameter is not applicable. Directly using the second white balance parameter would result in abnormal color rendering on the OLED screen. Therefore, the control method of the disclosed embodiment does not use the second white balance parameter. Instead, the voltage transition phase is divided into multiple update cycles, and white balance parameters corresponding to each update cycle are pre-set and stored. This allows the display module to maintain RGB color balance during each update cycle, preventing abnormal screen color rendering.

[0086] An update cycle refers to dividing the voltage conversion phase into multiple white balance parameter adjustment cycles, with each update cycle corresponding to a white balance parameter. It will be appreciated that a greater number of update cycles, i.e., more refined adjustments to the white balance parameters during the voltage conversion phase, will result in better color adjustment. For example, the display cycle of each image frame can be set as an update cycle, which is equivalent to setting a white balance parameter for each image frame, thereby performing white balance adjustment for each image frame. Of course, considering computing speed and cost, the number of update cycles can be reduced accordingly, for example, by setting a white balance parameter every other frame. This example is explained below and will not be detailed here. However, it will be understood that this disclosure does not limit the number of update cycles.

[0087] In the voltage transformation stage, the driving voltage Data corresponding to each update period can be generated according to the pre-set and stored white balance parameters, so as to control the light-emitting devices of each R, G, and B sub-pixel to emit light in the corresponding update period according to the driving voltage Data. Figure 2 In this example, since the green G light-emitting device's light intensity varies more significantly, the driving voltage Data for the green G light-emitting device can be lowered to maintain a balance with the light intensity of the red R and blue B light-emitting devices within each update cycle. Since the white balance parameters for normal color rendering are pre-set for each update cycle, the color balance of the three RGB colors can be maintained throughout each update cycle, ensuring that the screen maintains normal color rendering during the voltage transition phase.

[0088] In one example, white balance parameters for each update cycle can be obtained based on the corresponding relationship between the luminous intensity of each sub-pixel light-emitting device and VF. The white balance parameters for each update cycle are stored to obtain pre-stored white balance parameters. This example is described below and is not detailed here.

[0089] From the above, it can be seen that the control method of the embodiment of the present disclosure divides the voltage conversion stage into multiple update cycles and sets corresponding white balance parameters for each update cycle, so that the display module maintains color balance during the voltage conversion stage, avoids color abnormalities of the display module during the voltage conversion stage, and improves user experience.

[0090] It will be appreciated that, in some embodiments, the display control method disclosed herein comprises two phases: the first, during device production, in which white balance parameters for the voltage conversion phase are determined and pre-stored; and the second, during device use, in which the voltage conversion phase is adjusted based on the pre-stored white balance parameters. Taking electronic devices as an example, during device production, the manufacturer should determine and store the white balance parameters in the device's memory. When a user purchases and uses the electronic device, the electronic device's processor can access the stored white balance parameters in the memory to execute the method in any embodiment of the disclosure. This is explained in detail below.

[0091] In some embodiments, the control method of the present disclosure further includes a process of determining and storing white balance parameters during the voltage conversion phase. Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the display control method disclosed herein further includes:

[0092] S510 : Obtain a corresponding relationship between the voltage difference and the white balance parameter based on the corresponding relationship between the voltage difference of the display module and the luminous intensity of the light-emitting device in each sub-pixel circuit.

[0093] like Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 (a) shows the corresponding relationship curve between the voltage difference VF and the forward current IF of the red R, green G, and blue B light emitting devices. Figure 6 (b) shows the corresponding relationship curve between the forward current IF and the luminous intensity Lm of the red R, green G, and blue B light emitting devices. Figure 6 In (b), it can be seen that the luminous intensity of the green G light-emitting device changes more with the forward current IF. Figure 6 (a) and (b) can be used to obtain the corresponding relationship between the luminous intensity Lm and VF of the red R, green G, and blue B light-emitting devices, that is, Figure 6 (c). Figure 6 As can be seen in (c), the luminous intensity of the green G light-emitting device changes more greatly with VF.

[0094] based on Figure 6 The curve shown in (c) shows the difference in luminous intensity of the red (R), green (G), and blue (B) light-emitting devices at different VFs. Based on the difference values, the corresponding relationship between the RGB balance parameters and VF can be determined, that is, the corresponding relationship curve between VF and white balance parameters can be obtained.

[0095] S520 , obtaining white balance parameters corresponding to each update period according to the relationship between the voltage difference and time during the voltage transformation phase, and the corresponding relationship between the voltage difference and the white balance parameters.

[0096] After obtaining the corresponding relationship curve between VF and white balance parameters, combined with Figure 2The linear variation curve of VF over time shown in can be used to obtain the corresponding relationship between the white balance parameters and time in the variation stage, and then the white balance parameters corresponding to each update cycle can be determined based on the corresponding relationship.

[0097] In an example, assuming that the display period of each frame image is an update period, the white balance parameters of each frame image, ie, the white balance parameters of the update period, are determined according to the corresponding relationship between the white balance parameters and time.

[0098] In another example, assuming that the sum of the display periods of multiple consecutive image frames is one update period, the white balance parameter corresponding to the median of the update period is determined as the white balance parameter for the update period based on the correspondence between the white balance parameter and time. This will be explained below and will not be described in detail here.

[0099] S530: Store the white balance parameters corresponding to each update period to obtain pre-stored white balance parameters.

[0100] Specifically, after obtaining the white balance parameters of each update cycle, they can be stored in, for example, a memory of the electronic device, and the memory is communicatively connected to the processor of the electronic device, so that when the electronic device is subsequently used, the processor can retrieve the pre-stored white balance parameters from the memory to perform, for example Figure 4 The method steps shown.

[0101] From the above, it can be seen that the display control method of the embodiment of the present disclosure obtains the white balance parameters corresponding to each update cycle based on the correspondence between the voltage difference VF and the luminous intensity of each sub-pixel, so that the parameters of each update cycle can be adjusted according to the white balance parameters during the voltage transformation stage, so that the display module maintains color balance during the voltage transformation stage, avoids color rendering abnormalities of the display module during the voltage transformation stage, and improves user experience.

[0102] In some embodiments, the update period of the voltage transformation phase can be determined according to the display period of a single frame image and the total duration of the voltage transformation phase. Figure 7 The process of determining the update period of the voltage transformation stage according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown in FIG. Figure 7 Provide explanation.

[0103] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the display control method disclosed herein includes:

[0104] S710: Acquire a first duration of the voltage transformation phase and a display period of a single-frame image of the display module.

[0105] Specifically, the first duration of the voltage transformation phase refers to the duration during which the voltage difference VF of the display module changes from the first voltage difference to the second voltage difference.

[0106] The display period of a single-frame image can be determined based on the refresh rate of the device screen. In one example, assuming the screen refresh rate of the electronic device is 100 Hz, meaning the screen displays 100 frames per second, the display period of a single-frame image can be calculated to be 10 ms. It should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to this example.

[0107] S720: Determine at least two update cycles according to the first duration and the display cycle.

[0108] In some implementations, it may be determined that during the voltage transformation phase, the display period of each frame of image is one update period.

[0109] Specifically, using the previous example, assuming the screen refresh rate of the electronic device is 100Hz, meaning it displays 100 frames per second, the display period of a single frame can be calculated to be 10ms. In other words, the 10ms display period of each frame is considered an update period, resulting in each update period being 10ms.

[0110] From the above, it can be seen that by taking the display period of each frame of image as an update period, it is equivalent to setting a white balance parameter for each frame of image, thereby adjusting the white balance for each frame of image. The more refined the adjustment of the white balance parameter in the voltage transformation stage, the better the color adjustment effect.

[0111] In other implementations, the sum of display periods of multiple consecutive image frames during the voltage transformation phase may be determined as the update period.

[0112] Specifically, using the aforementioned example, assuming the screen refresh rate of the electronic device is 100 Hz, meaning it displays 100 frames per second, the display period of a single frame can be calculated to be 10 ms. The sum of the display periods of five consecutive frames can be determined as one update period, meaning one update period includes five display periods, or 50 ms. Of course, it is understood that the update period can also include other numbers of display periods and is not limited to this example.

[0113] It is worth noting that, in this embodiment, the process of determining the white balance parameters corresponding to the update period can be found in Figure 8 As shown below, combined Figure 8 Provide explanation.

[0114] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the display control method disclosed herein includes:

[0115] S810 : Based on the corresponding relationship between the voltage difference of the display module and the luminous intensity of the light-emitting device in each sub-pixel circuit, obtain the corresponding relationship between the voltage difference and the white balance parameter.

[0116] Specifically, please refer to the aforementioned step S510, which will not be repeated here.

[0117] S820: Determine the white balance parameter corresponding to each display period according to the relationship between the voltage difference and time during the voltage transformation phase, and the corresponding relationship between the voltage difference and the white balance parameter.

[0118] Specifically, after obtaining the corresponding relationship curve between VF and white balance parameters, combined with Figure 2 The linear curve of VF change over time shown in FIG can be used to obtain the corresponding relationship between the white balance parameter and time during the change stage. Then, the white balance parameter corresponding to each display cycle can be determined based on the corresponding relationship. In other words, the white balance parameter corresponding to each frame of the image can be determined.

[0119] S830: For one update period, determine the white balance parameter corresponding to the update period based on the white balance parameters corresponding to each display period in the update period.

[0120] Specifically, after obtaining the white balance parameters corresponding to the display period of each frame image, since one update period includes multiple display periods, for one update period, the median of the white balance parameters corresponding to each display period can be determined, and the median is used as the white balance parameter corresponding to the update period.

[0121] S840: Store the white balance parameters corresponding to each update period to obtain pre-stored white balance parameters.

[0122] Specifically, please refer to the aforementioned step S530, which will not be repeated here.

[0123] From the above, it can be seen that by determining the sum of the display periods of multiple consecutive image frames as one update period, the amount of calculation can be reduced and the calculation efficiency can be improved while ensuring a certain white balance adjustment effect.

[0124] Figure 9 The principle of the control method in one embodiment of the present disclosure is shown below. Figure 9 The embodiments illustrate the principle of the disclosed method.

[0125] like Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the application scenario is Figure 2 The same example applies: a smartphone switches from the locked first display interface to the unlocked second display interface. In the first display interface, the ELVSS is V1 = -4.4V, corresponding to the white balance parameter C1; while in the second display interface, the ELVSS is V2 = -2.6V, corresponding to the white balance parameter C2. Assume that the duration of the voltage transition phase T is t2 - t1 = 200ms, and the display period of a single frame of the phone is 10ms.

[0126] The voltage transition phase T theoretically includes a total of 200 / 10 = 20 image display cycles. In one example, the display cycle of each image frame is set to one update cycle, that is, the voltage transition phase T includes 20 update cycles (not all of which are shown in the figures). Each update cycle is set and stored according to the aforementioned method with a corresponding white balance parameter, namely d1, d2, d3, ... d20 (not all of which are shown in the figures).

[0127] During the voltage transformation phase T, the corresponding white balance parameters are used to adjust the light intensity of the green G light-emitting device for each update cycle. Specifically, in this embodiment, since the light intensity of the green G light-emitting device varies more significantly, the driving voltage Data of the green G light-emitting device can be lowered to maintain a balance with the light intensity of the red R and blue B light-emitting devices within each update cycle, thereby achieving color balance.

[0128] Of course, those skilled in the art will appreciate that, in another example, the display period of multiple consecutive image frames can also be set as one update period. For example, two consecutive image frames are set as one update period, that is, the voltage transformation stage T includes 10 update periods, each of which is set and stored according to the aforementioned method with a corresponding white balance parameter, namely d1, d2, d3, ... d10 (not all are shown in the accompanying drawings). The principle of this example is the same as above, and those skilled in the art can implement it, so it will not be repeated here.

[0129] From the above, it can be seen that in this embodiment, by dividing the voltage conversion stage into multiple update cycles and setting corresponding white balance parameters for each update cycle, the display module maintains color balance during the voltage conversion stage, avoiding color abnormalities in the display module during the voltage conversion stage, and improving user experience.

[0130] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a display control device, which can be applied to electronic equipment. Figure 10 Shows a display control device in some embodiments of the present disclosure, such as Figure 10 As shown, the display control device includes:

[0131] The voltage generation module 101 is configured to generate a driving voltage corresponding to each update period according to pre-stored white balance parameters during a voltage transformation phase of the display module. The voltage transformation phase is a phase in which the voltage difference between the positive voltage and the negative voltage of the display module is transformed from a first voltage difference to a second voltage difference. The voltage transformation phase includes at least two update periods.

[0132] The control module 102 is used to control the light-emitting devices in the pixel circuit of the display module to emit light in the corresponding update period according to the driving voltage.

[0133] From the above, it can be seen that the control device of the embodiment of the present disclosure divides the voltage conversion stage into multiple update cycles and sets corresponding white balance parameters for each update cycle, so that the display module maintains color balance during the voltage conversion stage, avoids color abnormalities of the display module during the voltage conversion stage, and improves user experience.

[0134] In some embodiments, the display control device further includes:

[0135] A first determining module is configured to obtain a corresponding relationship between the voltage difference and the white balance parameter based on a corresponding relationship between the voltage difference of the display module and the luminous intensity of the light-emitting device in each sub-pixel circuit;

[0136] A second determination module is configured to obtain the white balance parameter corresponding to each update period according to the relationship between the voltage difference and time during the voltage transformation phase and the corresponding relationship between the voltage difference and the white balance parameter;

[0137] The first storage module is used to store the white balance parameters corresponding to each update period to obtain pre-stored white balance parameters.

[0138] In some embodiments, the display control device further includes:

[0139] An acquisition module is used to acquire a first duration of the voltage transformation phase and a display period of a single frame image of the display module; the first duration is the duration during which the voltage difference of the display module changes from the first voltage difference to the second voltage difference;

[0140] The third determining module is configured to determine at least two update periods according to the first duration and the display period.

[0141] In some implementations, the third determination module is specifically configured to:

[0142] During the voltage transformation phase, the display period of each frame of image is determined to be one update period.

[0143] In some implementations, the third determination module is specifically configured to:

[0144] During the voltage transformation phase, the sum of the display periods of the continuous multiple-frame images is determined to be the update period.

[0145] In some embodiments, the display control device further includes:

[0146] a fourth determining module, configured to obtain a corresponding relationship between the voltage difference and the white balance parameter based on a corresponding relationship between the voltage difference of the display module and the luminous intensity of the light-emitting device in each sub-pixel circuit;

[0147] a fifth determining module, configured to determine the white balance parameter corresponding to each display period according to a relationship between a change in the voltage difference over time and a correspondence between the voltage difference and the white balance parameter during the voltage transformation phase;

[0148] a sixth determining module, configured to determine, for one update cycle, a white balance parameter corresponding to the update cycle based on the white balance parameters corresponding to each display cycle in the update cycle;

[0149] The second storage module is used to store the white balance parameters corresponding to each update period to obtain pre-stored white balance parameters.

[0150] In some implementations, the sixth determining module is specifically configured to:

[0151] For an update cycle, obtain the white balance parameters corresponding to each display cycle in the update cycle;

[0152] The median value of the white balance parameters corresponding to each display period is determined as the white balance parameter corresponding to the update period.

[0153] In some embodiments, the display module is an OLED display module, and the pixel circuit includes a red sub-pixel circuit, a green sub-pixel circuit, and a blue sub-pixel circuit.

[0154] From the above, it can be seen that the control device of the embodiment of the present disclosure divides the voltage conversion stage into multiple update cycles and sets corresponding white balance parameters for each update cycle, so that the display module maintains color balance in the voltage conversion stage, avoids color abnormalities in the display module during the voltage conversion stage, and improves user experience. In some embodiments, by taking the display cycle of each frame of image as an update cycle, it is equivalent to setting a white balance parameter for each frame of image, so that white balance adjustment is performed for each frame of image, and the more refined the adjustment of the white balance parameters in the voltage conversion stage, the better the color adjustment effect. In other embodiments, by determining the sum of the display cycles of multiple consecutive frames of images as an update cycle, the amount of calculation is reduced and the calculation efficiency is improved while ensuring a certain white balance adjustment effect.
