Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of display panels, and in particular, to a control method, device, and electronic device for a display panel. Background Art

[0002] An electronic device may include a display with a display screen. When the display shows the screen for a long time, it may cause degradation, such as a burn-in phenomenon. The processor can compensate for the degradation of the display through a set algorithm. According to the set algorithm, some pixels in the display panel can be regarded as a block, and the decay factor is accumulated with the block as the calculation unit, and the display panel is compensated based on the accumulated decay factor. Generally, no special processing is performed on the data storage part, and only the accumulated decay factor (Acc.Decay Factor) is simply stored in the storage space of the memory, such as RAM (Random Access Memory, random access memory). Since the size of the storage space is limited, in order to save the storage space of the memory, it is necessary to increase the size of 1 block as much as possible. For example: 8 × 8 pixels are used as 1 block.

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0031] An electronic device may include a display for a display screen. When the display shows the screen for a long time, it may cause degradation, such as a burn-in phenomenon. The processor can compensate for the degradation of the display through a set algorithm. According to the set algorithm, some pixels in the display panel can be regarded as a block, and the decay factor is accumulated with the block as the calculation unit, and the display panel is compensated based on the accumulated decay factor. Generally, no special processing is performed on the data storage part, and only the accumulated decay factor (Acc.Decay Factor) is simply stored in the storage space of the memory, such as RAM. Since the size of the storage space is limited, in order to save the storage space of the memory, it is necessary to increase the size of 1 block as much as possible. For example: 8 × 8 pixels are used as 1 block.

[0032] Currently, with the popularization of OLED panels, people are increasingly pursuing fine display quality to make differences and gain the favor of consumers. However, the above method of increasing the size of 1 block as much as possible to save the storage space of the memory will reduce the display fineness. However, if the size of 1 block is reduced, the storage space of the memory needs to be increased, which will increase the cost of the driver IC. Therefore, how to improve the compensation fineness while saving the storage space of the memory has become an important research topic.

[0033] However, in traditional compression methods, the compensation algorithms (DBI algorithm, De-Burn-In algorithm) cannot be effectively compressed. For example, the compression ratio of the RLE algorithm is 1.899, the compression ratio of the LZ77 algorithm is 1.805, the compression ratio of the Huffman algorithm is 1, the compression ratio of the Deflate algorithm is 1.473, and the compression ratio of the Arithmetic coding algorithm is 1.004.

[0034] Since there is no significant benefit in the form of data compression, this embodiment can perform compression at the structural level. Based on this, a control method, device, and electronic device for a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention can save the storage space of the memory while improving the compensation fineness, thereby reducing costs and obtaining a good user experience.

[0035] To facilitate the understanding of this embodiment, a control method for a display panel disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention will be introduced in detail first.

[0036] Embodiment 1:

[0037] An embodiment of the present invention provides a control method for a display panel. Refer to Figure 1 the flowchart of a control method for a display panel shown. The control method for the display panel includes the following steps:

[0038] Step S102, based on the pixels of the display panel, divide the display panel into a plurality of first-type blocks and a plurality of second-type blocks that are alternately distributed; wherein, each first-type block and second-type block includes a plurality of pixels; the size of the first-type block is smaller than the size of the second-type block.

[0039] The display panel in this embodiment can be a panel made of OLED material. A panel can include a plurality of pixels. In this embodiment, some pixels can be combined into one block. For example, 2×2 pixels can be combined into 1 block. When performing compensation calculation, each block can be used as 1 calculation unit to calculate the decay factor of each block, thereby reducing the calculation amount and storage space.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, 2 types of blocks can be synthesized, namely the first-type block and the second-type block. The size of the first-type block is smaller than the size of the second-type block. The first-type block is a small-sized block, and the second-type block is a large-sized block. For example, 2×2 pixels can be combined into 1 first-type block, and 4×4 pixels can be combined into 1 second-type block.

[0041] In the display panel, the first type of blocks and the second type of blocks are staggered, wherein the distribution mode may be 1 first type of block, 1 second type of block, 1 first type of block, 1 second type of block, etc., or other distribution modes, that is, two blocks of the same type may include 1 block of another type, or may include multiple blocks of other types, which is not limited in this embodiment. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a block division is shown, in which the sizes of four small-sized first-type blocks and one large-sized second-type block are comparable.

[0042] Step S104, calculating the decay factor of each first-category block, and determining the decay factor of the second-category block based on the decay factors of the first-category blocks.

[0043] When calculating the decay factor, the method adopted in this embodiment is: firstly calculate the decay factor of the first type of small-sized block, and then infer the decay factor of the second type of large-sized block according to the decay factor of the first type of small-sized block. In the above method, storage space can be saved (it is not necessary to use all the first type of small-sized blocks, and the amount of calculation and data are relatively small), and a certain compensation precision can be maintained (the decay factor of the second type of block is inferred by the decay factor of the first type of block).

[0044] Step S106 , determining the compensation brightness of each block based on the decay factors of the first type of blocks and the decay factors of the second type of blocks, and performing brightness compensation on the display panel based on the compensation brightness of each block.

[0045] In this embodiment, the decay factor of each block can be stored in RAM. Since the first type of small-sized blocks and the second type of large-sized blocks are staggered, the storage space of RAM can be saved. In addition, in this embodiment, the distribution of the second type of blocks can be estimated by the decay factor of the first type of blocks, so as to determine the decay factor of the second type of blocks, so as to maintain a certain compensation precision.

[0046] A control method for a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present invention can divide the display panel into a plurality of first-type blocks and a plurality of second-type blocks that are staggered, determine the decay factor of the second-type blocks based on the decay factor of the first-type blocks, determine the compensation brightness of each block, and perform brightness compensation on the display panel based on the compensation brightness of each block. Compared with the traditional method of using all small-sized first-type blocks, the method of determining the decay factor of the large-sized second-type blocks based on the decay factor of the small-sized first-type blocks in this method can save the storage space of the memory while maintaining the fineness of the compensation, thereby reducing costs and obtaining a good user experience.

[0047] Embodiment 2:

[0048] This embodiment provides another control method for a display panel, which is implemented on the basis of the above embodiment. Refer to Figure 3 the flowchart of another control method for a display panel shown in

[0049] Step S302: Based on the pixels of the display panel, divide the display panel into a plurality of first-type blocks and a plurality of second-type blocks that are alternately distributed; wherein, each first-type block and second-type block includes a plurality of pixels; the size of the first-type block is smaller than the size of the second-type block.

[0050] The purpose of the DBI algorithm is to solve the problem of uneven panel brightness caused by long-term use, and the panel brightness can be compensated through the DBI algorithm. Taking the OLED display panel as an example, the aging areas of the OLED display panel usually have the characteristics of continuity and clustering. Therefore, the display panel can be divided into a plurality of first-type blocks and a plurality of second-type blocks that are alternately distributed, and the decay factor of the large-size second-type block can be estimated through the decay factor of the small-size first-type block.

[0051] Among them, the method provided in this embodiment can be applied to various scenarios of mixing blocks of different sizes. For example, the size of the first-type block is 2×4, and the size of the second-type block is 4×8. For the alternating arrangement method of the first-type block and the second-type block, it is not limited to Figure 2 the square arrangement shown in Figure 4 as long as the first-type block and the second-type block are staggered to a certain extent, and reference can be made to

[0052] Step S304: Calculate the decay factor of each first-type block, and determine a first block group and a second block group from the first-type blocks; determine the decay factor of at least one target second-type block based on the decay factor of the first block group and the decay factor of the second block group.

[0053] Among them, there are no first-type blocks between the first block group and the second block group; the target second-type blocks are all second-type blocks included between the first block group and the second block group. The first block group and the second block group are both small-size first-type blocks, and there are no other small-size first-type blocks between the first block group and the second block group, only second-type blocks, which are called target second-type blocks. Therefore, the decay factor of the target second-type block can be estimated through the decay factor of the first block group and the decay factor of the second block group.

[0054] Among them, in order to ensure the estimation effect, the number of target second-type blocks existing between the first block group and the second block group should not be too large, that is, the number of second-type blocks included between the first block group and the second block group is less than or equal to a preset quantity threshold, which can ensure a better estimation effect of the decay factor of the target second-type blocks.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pixel distribution of at least one target second-type block can be determined based on the decay factor of the first block group and the decay factor of the second block group; the decay factor of at least one target second-type block is determined based on the pixel distribution. Since the aging area of the display panel usually has the characteristics of continuity and clustering, therefore, whether there is a boundary of the target second-type block can be characterized by the pixel distribution, and there can be the following two cases:

[0056] (1) If the pixel distribution indicates that there is no boundary for the target second-type block, determine the decay factor of at least one target second-type block based on the decay factor of the first block group and the decay factor of the second block group.

[0057] Taking the example that there is one target second-type block included between the first block group and the second block group, refer to Figure 5 As shown in a schematic diagram of decay factor estimation, if the pixel distribution indicates that there is no boundary for the target second-type block, then the target second-type block can be used as a calculation unit, and then the decay factor of the target second-type block is determined according to the decay factor of the first block group and the decay factor of the second block group.

[0058] (2) If the pixel distribution indicates that there is a boundary for the target second-type block, divide each target second-type block into multiple third-type blocks based on the boundary, and determine the decay factors of the multiple third-type blocks based on the decay factor of the first block group and the decay factor of the second block group.

[0059] Continuing to take the example that there is one target second-type block included between the first block group and the second block group, refer to Figure 6 As shown in another schematic diagram of decay factor estimation, if the pixel distribution indicates that there is a boundary for the target second-type block, then according to this boundary, the second-type block can be divided into multiple third-type blocks, and the third-type block is used as a calculation unit, and then the decay factor of the third-type block is determined according to the decay factor of the first block group and the decay factor of the second block group.

[0060] In summary, in this embodiment, the decay factor of the large-size second-type block can be deduced using the decay factor of the small-size first-type block, thereby improving the compensation fineness to obtain a compensation effect similar to that of all using small-size first-type blocks, and the compensation accuracy can be maintained to a certain extent.

[0061] It should be noted here that the block size during storage in this embodiment (i.e., the size of the second type of block) is not equal to the block size during compensation (i.e., the size of the second type of block or the size of the third type of block). During compensation, in this embodiment, an algorithm module can be set to use the trend of the small-sized first type of blocks in the vicinity as a reference, and adjust the content of the large-sized second type of blocks or third type of blocks into multiple small-sized first type of blocks to improve the fineness of compensation.

[0062] Step S306: Determine the compensation brightness of each block based on the decay factor of the first type of block and the decay factor of the second type of block, and perform brightness compensation on the display panel based on the compensation brightness of each block.

[0063] Specifically, in this embodiment, the decay factor of the first type of block and the decay factor of the second type of block can be stored in a memory; determine the cumulative decay factor based on the decay factor of the first type of block and the decay factor of the second type of block stored in the memory; determine the compensation brightness of each block based on the cumulative decay factor. Refer to Figure 7 As shown in the schematic diagram of a compensation algorithm, the decay factor can be stored in a memory, and the cumulative decay factor can be determined based on the stored decay factor.

[0064] Specifically, in this embodiment, the brightness value of each pixel of the display panel can be obtained; the sum of the brightness value of each pixel and the compensation brightness of the block to which the pixel belongs is used as the display brightness value of the pixel; the display panel performs a display operation based on the display brightness value of each pixel.

[0065] As Figure 7 shown, after storing the decay factor in a memory and determining the cumulative decay factor of each block, the compensation brightness of each block can be determined based on the cumulative decay factor of each block. For all pixels within this block, compensation can be performed based on the above compensation brightness, that is, the sum of the brightness value of each pixel within this block and the compensation brightness of this block is used as the display brightness value for display.

Compared with the traditional method of using all small-sized first-type blocks, the method of determining the decay factor of the large-sized second-type blocks based on the decay factor of the small-sized first-type blocks in this method can save the storage space of the memory while maintaining the fineness of the compensation, thereby reducing costs and obtaining a good user experience.
