Description

[0002] In order to improve the display effect of existing liquid crystal display devices, the Frame Rate Control (FRC) technology is often adopted. The FRC technology can represent high-bit data as an arrangement of low-bit data in space or time. It mainly utilizes the visual inertia of the human eye, that is, the brightness perception of the human eye does not disappear immediately with the disappearance of the object brightness, to achieve brightness fusion. For time compensation, the gray levels are segmented more finely to make the displayed image more delicate.

[0003] In addition, in order to make the display have a better picture output effect and at the same time reduce some instantaneous colors or phenomena seen by the human eye during the picture conversion process, the "Over-Drive"

[0004] (Over-Drive), also known as "Response Time Compensation", is often used in the control chip of the display to force the panel driving voltage to increase or decrease, so as to speed up the response speed and shorten the response time to achieve an ideal output effect.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 1 , an embodiment of this application provides a control method for a display panel. The method includes steps S101 to S106, which are specifically as follows:

[0055] S101, obtaining pixel feature values of each pixel point in adjacent frame display pictures.

[0056] Specifically, when obtaining pixel feature values of each pixel point in adjacent frame display pictures, the adjacent frame display pictures are the current display picture and the next frame of the to-be-displayed picture. Among them, the pixel feature values of each pixel point in the to-be-displayed picture are the first feature values, and the pixel feature values of each pixel point in the current display picture are the second feature values. The first feature values and the second feature values are the same parameters, both being the brightness parameters of pixel points, including but not limited to grayscale values, RGB pixel values, etc. Based on the determined current display picture and the next frame of the to-be-displayed picture, the first feature values and the second feature values of each pixel point can be obtained by parsing the corresponding display pictures.

[0057] In addition, the next frame of the to-be-displayed picture may be the initial to-be-displayed picture or the to-be-displayed picture obtained after parsing based on the FRC algorithm.

[0058] S102, determining the image complexity of the to-be-displayed picture and determining whether the to-be-displayed picture is a still picture according to the pixel feature values.

[0059] Specifically, the image complexity describes the inherent complexity of an image. It can quantitatively feedback the texture information of the image, thereby performing some image operations (such as edge detection, image enhancement, compression, etc.). Generally, the more drastic the grayscale change, the more complex the image. If it is a pure color with a grayscale of 255, there is only one grayscale information of R255 / G255 / B255 in the whole image, and there is no fluctuation in adjacent grayscales, which means the change is 0, and it is the smoothest / simplest image. Therefore, the change degree between different pixel points is determined by comparing the first eigenvalue of each pixel point in the to-be-displayed picture, and then the image complexity of the to-be-displayed picture is determined.

[0060] In addition, if it is a static picture, it is easily misjudged by the OD algorithm due to being parsed by the FRC algorithm. The static picture needs to be judged by combining the pixel eigenvalue of the display pictures of two adjacent frames.

[0061] In one embodiment, the pixel eigenvalue includes the first eigenvalue of each pixel point in the to-be-displayed picture. The step of determining the image complexity of the to-be-displayed picture according to the pixel eigenvalue includes: S201, dividing the to-be-displayed picture into multiple pixel regions, and each pixel region contains a preset number of pixel points; S202, determining the first pixel value of each pixel region according to the first eigenvalue; S203, determining the first pixel difference between adjacent pixel regions according to the first pixel value of each pixel region; S204, determining the image complexity of the to-be-displayed picture according to each first pixel difference; S205, if at least the first number of the first pixel differences exceed the first threshold, determining that the image complexity conforms to the preset configuration information.

[0062] Specifically, the change degree between different pixel points is determined by comparing the first eigenvalue of each pixel point in the to-be-displayed picture, and then the image complexity of the to-be-displayed picture is determined. The to-be-displayed picture is divided into multiple pixel regions, and each pixel region contains a preset number of pixel points. The pixel region is the smallest comparison unit for determining the image complexity. The number of pixel points included in each pixel region can be determined according to different needs and processing capabilities. For example, if the preset number is set to 1, that is, each pixel point is used as a unit for comparison and analysis, or the preset number can be set to other values, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0063] The first pixel value of each pixel region is determined according to the first eigenvalue. Similarly, the first pixel value is a parameter that can characterize the brightness feature of the pixel point, which can be a grayscale value or an RGB pixel value, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment. Among them, if the preset number is 1, the pixel region is each pixel point, and the first pixel value can be directly obtained. If the pixel region contains more than 1 pixel point, the first pixel value of the pixel region can be the mean value of the feature values of all pixel points in the pixel region, or weighted average can be performed, etc.

[0064] Since the image complexity is essentially a description of the degree of change of different pixel points in the picture, the first pixel difference of each adjacent pixel area is determined according to the first pixel value of each pixel area, and then the image complexity of the picture to be displayed is determined based on the first pixel difference.

[0065] In addition, the preset configuration information is the judgment information of complex images. Images that conform to the preset configuration information are more likely to be distorted during the compression and decompression of the frame buffer module of OD. The preset configuration information is the threshold of the degree of change of each pixel point in the picture to be displayed. First, it is judged whether the difference between each adjacent pixel area is too large, that is, it is judged whether each first pixel difference exceeds the first threshold. If it exceeds the first threshold, the number of first pixel differences exceeding the first threshold is further counted. If it exceeds the first quantity, it is determined that the image complexity conforms to the preset configuration information, and it is determined that the picture to be displayed is a complex picture. Among them, the preset configuration information includes the first quantity and the first threshold, but their specific values can be set according to the accuracy, and are not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0066] In one embodiment, the pixel feature value includes the second feature value of each pixel point in the current display picture. The step of determining whether the picture to be displayed is a still picture according to the pixel feature value includes: S301, determining the picture difference degree between the picture to be displayed and the current display picture according to the first feature value and the second feature value; S302, determining whether the picture to be displayed is a still picture according to the picture difference degree.

[0067] Specifically, according to the first feature value of each pixel point in the picture to be displayed and the second feature value of each pixel point in the current display picture, the degree of change of the corresponding pixel points of the picture to be displayed and the current display picture is determined, and then the picture difference degree between the picture to be displayed and the current display picture is determined. Then, it is determined whether the picture to be displayed is a still picture based on the picture difference degree of adjacent frame pictures.

[0068] In one embodiment, step S301, determining the picture difference degree between the picture to be displayed and the current display picture according to the first feature value and the second feature value, includes: S401, determining the second pixel value of each pixel area according to the second feature value; S402, determining the second pixel difference of each pixel area according to the first pixel value and the second pixel value; S403, determining the picture difference degree between the picture to be displayed and the current display picture according to each second pixel difference.

[0069] Specifically, when determining the degree of difference between the to-be-displayed screen and the current display screen, it is necessary to compare the pixel values of the corresponding regions of the two. Therefore, based on the multiple pixel regions divided for the to-be-displayed screen to determine the first pixel value, the current display screen is divided into the same pixel regions, and then the second pixel value of each pixel region is determined according to the second characteristic value. The second pixel value is a parameter that can characterize the brightness characteristics of the pixel point, which can be a grayscale value or an RGB pixel value.

[0070] According to the first pixel value and the second pixel value of each pixel region, determine the second pixel difference value of the corresponding pixel region. Determine the degree of difference between the to-be-displayed screen and the current display screen according to each second pixel difference value, that is, determine the change degree of the screens of adjacent frames according to each second pixel difference value, and further determine whether the to-be-displayed screen is a static screen relative to the current display screen.

[0071] In one embodiment, after step S302, determining whether the to-be-displayed screen is a static screen according to the degree of difference between the screens, it further includes: S501, if the number of the second pixel difference values not exceeding the second quantity exceeds the second threshold, determine that the to-be-displayed screen is a static screen.

[0072] Specifically, since the FRC algorithm is executed before the OD algorithm, that is, for a static screen, fluctuations will also be generated after being parsed by the FRC algorithm. Therefore, there is no completely identical display screen for two consecutive frames. However, for a static image with a higher complexity, the FRC algorithm only processes its local part, that is, when it is determined as a complex image and the change degree between the display screens of two consecutive frames is small, it can be determined that it is initially a static screen.

[0073] First, determine whether the difference in pixel values of the same pixel region between the to-be-displayed screen and the current display screen is too large, that is, determine whether each second pixel difference value exceeds the second threshold. If it exceeds the second threshold, further count the number of second pixel difference values exceeding the second threshold. If it does not exceed the second quantity, determine that the change degree of the to-be-displayed screen relative to the current display screen is small, and therefore determine that the to-be-displayed screen is a static screen. Among them, the specific values of the first quantity and the first threshold can be set according to the accuracy, and are not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0074] S103, when the image complexity conforms to the preset configuration information and the to-be-displayed screen is a static screen, determine that the driving voltage of any pixel point in the to-be-displayed screen is the first voltage value, and the first voltage value is set between the second voltage value and the third voltage value. The second voltage value is the driving voltage of any pixel point in the overdrive mode, and the third voltage value is the driving voltage corresponding to the gray scale of any pixel point.

[0075] Specifically, when it is determined that the to-be-displayed image is a still image based on the image difference degree, when using the OD algorithm to process the to-be-displayed image, if the driving voltage of each pixel defined in the over-drive mode (OD) is still selected, it will cause image distortion and flicker. Therefore, the OD algorithm is also used, but the driving voltage of the pixel needs to be reduced. It should be noted that the reduction of the driving voltage is based on the driving voltage of the pixel in the initially defined over-drive mode, but it is still necessary to ensure that the reduced driving voltage is greater than the driving voltage corresponding to the actual gray level of the pixel.

[0076] That is to say, the driving voltage of any pixel in the initial over-drive mode is the second voltage value, and the driving voltage of any pixel without adopting the over-drive mode is the third voltage value. The driving voltage determined in this embodiment is the first voltage value, and the first voltage value is set between the second voltage value and the third voltage value.

[0077] The principle of OD technology is as follows: when switching from the (n - 1)-th frame to the n-th frame, if it is necessary to change from the gray level Gn-1 to the gray level Gn, if only the driving voltage corresponding to the gray level Gn is given, due to the slow response speed of the liquid crystal flipping, the actual gray level Gn we need cannot be achieved in the n-th frame. By using OD technology, in the n-th frame, the driving voltage of the gray level Gn’ with a larger voltage difference corresponding to the gray level Gn-1 is provided, so as to accelerate the liquid crystal flipping speed and reach the actual gray level Gn we need in the n-th frame.

[0078] Furthermore, in order to implement OD technology, usually an OD look-up table (OD table) is stored in the liquid crystal display driving system. The abscissa of this look-up table is the gray level of the (n - 1)-th frame, and the ordinate is the gray level of the n-th frame. The data obtained by looking up the gray level of the (n - 1)-th frame and the gray level of the n-th frame is the actual gray level output during over-driving. For example, when the (n - 1)-th frame corresponds to 48 gray levels and the n-th frame corresponds to 96 gray levels, by looking up the table, the driving voltage corresponding to 116 gray levels is actually output during over-driving. Then, in this embodiment, assuming that the (n - 1)-th frame corresponds to 48 gray levels and the n-th frame corresponds to 96 gray levels, and the driving voltage corresponding to 116 gray levels is actually output during over-driving, then in the n-th frame, the second voltage value is the driving voltage of 116 gray levels, the third voltage value is the driving voltage of 96 gray levels, and the first voltage value of this embodiment is set between the second voltage value and the third voltage value.

[0079] In addition, for the to-be-displayed image whose image complexity does not conform to the preset configuration information, and the to-be-displayed image whose image complexity conforms to the preset configuration information but is not a still image, the OD algorithm still drives the pixel according to the driving voltage of any pixel in the initial over-drive mode, that is, the second voltage value.

[0080] In addition, in this embodiment, the steps of identifying whether the image complexity of the to-be-displayed screen meets the preset configuration information and determining whether the to-be-displayed screen is a still screen are completely independent processes, and the two do not affect each other. Therefore, there is no strict order of precedence, that is, it is also possible to first determine whether the to-be-displayed screen is a still screen, and then determine whether the image complexity of the to-be-displayed screen determined to be a still screen meets the preset configuration information, or the two steps can be executed simultaneously. Generally speaking, the two steps are executed sequentially to reduce the amount of data to be processed in the second determination based on the result of the first determination.

[0081] In one embodiment, the to-be-displayed screen includes a pixel change complex region and a pixel change flat region. This step includes: S601, when the image complexity meets the preset configuration information and the to-be-displayed screen is a still screen, determining the pixel change complex region and the pixel change flat region according to the first eigenvalue; S602, determining the driving voltage of any pixel point in the pixel change complex region as the first voltage value; S603, determining the driving voltage of any pixel point in the pixel change flat region as the third voltage value.

[0082] Specifically, for a still image with a high complexity, the FRC algorithm only processes a part of it. Similarly, the OD algorithm does not need to reduce the driving voltage for all parts of the to-be-displayed screen. Therefore, the to-be-displayed screen is divided into a pixel change complex region and a pixel change flat region. The pixel change complex region is the pixel points with relatively large changes after being analyzed by the FRC algorithm, and the pixel change flat region is the pixel points with relatively small or even no changes after being analyzed by the FRC algorithm. The pixel change complex region and the pixel change flat region are determined according to the first eigenvalue. For the pixel change complex region, the driving voltage of the corresponding pixel points is adjusted to the first voltage value according to the above embodiment, while the driving voltage of the pixel points corresponding to the pixel change flat region is still set to the third voltage value determined by the initial overdrive mode.

[0083] In one embodiment, step S601, when the image complexity meets the preset configuration information and the to-be-displayed screen is a still screen, determining the pixel change complex region and the pixel change flat region according to the first eigenvalue, includes: S701, when the image complexity meets the preset configuration information and the to-be-displayed screen is a still screen, determining the adjacent pixel region where the first pixel difference exceeds the third threshold as the target pixel group; S702, if at least a third number of consecutive adjacent pixel regions are the target pixel group, determining the consecutive adjacent pixel regions as the pixel change complex region, and the remaining regions as the pixel change flat region.

[0084] Specifically, when the image complexity meets the preset configuration information and the to-be-displayed screen is a still screen, it is determined again whether the difference between adjacent pixel regions is too large, that is, whether each first pixel difference exceeds a third threshold. The third threshold may be the same as or different from the first threshold. The adjacent pixel regions where the first pixel difference exceeds the third threshold are determined as target pixel groups, and then the number of continuously adjacent pixel regions in the target pixel groups is further counted. The continuously adjacent pixel regions are all target pixel groups, that is, the first pixel differences in this region all exceed the third threshold. If the number exceeds a third quantity, the corresponding region is determined as a pixel change complex region, and the remaining regions of the to-be-displayed screen are pixel change flat regions.

[0085] The to-be-displayed screen may only contain one pixel change complex region or may contain multiple pixel change complex regions. Determining the pixel change complex region by setting the third quantity, that is, determining the region for adjusting the driving voltage. For example, if the third quantity is set relatively large, and only the first pixel differences of two adjacent pixel regions in a certain region of the target pixel group exceed the third threshold, then this region is not determined as a pixel change complex region. The specific values of the first quantity and the first threshold can be set according to the accuracy, and are not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0086] In one embodiment, step S602, determining the driving voltage of any pixel point in the pixel change complex region as the first voltage value includes: S801, obtaining the target pixel difference of adjacent pixel regions in the pixel change complex region; S802, determining the first voltage value according to the target pixel difference and a preset corresponding relationship, where the corresponding relationship is the corresponding relationship between the pixel difference and the driving voltage value.

[0087] Specifically, when the image complexity is low, the reduction amplitude of the driving voltage of OD is small, and when the image complexity is high, the reduction of the OD threshold is obvious. After quantifying the image complexity, the corresponding relationship between the image complexity and the first voltage value is as Figure 2 shown. The abscissa is the image complexity, with a value range of 0 to 100%, and the ordinate is the first voltage value, with a value range of the third voltage value to the second voltage value. When the image complexity is 0, it is equivalent to adopting the initial overdrive mode, and the first voltage value takes the second voltage value in the initial overdrive mode. When the image complexity is 100%, it is equivalent to not adopting the overdrive mode at all, and the first voltage value takes the third voltage value. The method of quantifying the image complexity is a conventional technique in the art and is not specifically described in this embodiment.

[0088] Therefore, obtain the target pixel difference of adjacent pixel regions in the pixel change complex region, and determine the first voltage value according to the target pixel difference and a preset corresponding relationship, where the corresponding relationship is the corresponding relationship between the pixel difference and the driving voltage value. It should be noted that the larger the target pixel difference, the larger the difference between the first voltage value and the corresponding second voltage value.

[0089] S104. Drive the display panel to display the to-be-displayed picture according to the first voltage value corresponding to each pixel point.

[0090] Specifically, drive the display panel to display the to-be-displayed picture according to the first voltage value corresponding to each pixel point. Among them, if the to-be-displayed picture is divided into a pixel change complex area and a pixel change flat area, the driving voltage of each pixel point in the pixel change complex area is the corresponding first voltage value, and the driving voltage of each pixel point in the pixel change flat area is the corresponding third voltage value.

[0091] In this embodiment, the image complexity and the picture difference degree of the to-be-displayed picture are determined through the first feature value of each pixel point in the to-be-displayed picture and the second feature value of each pixel point in the current displayed picture, and the complex still image is identified. When performing the OD algorithm analysis, compared with the initial over-driving mode, the driving voltage of the pixel point is reduced, and the OD driving voltage is dynamically configured, effectively improving the flicker problem caused by the misjudgment of the OD algorithm due to the processing of the complex still image by the FRC algorithm, and will not affect the taste of the dynamic picture.
