[0047] During the production of displays, due to manufacturing processes, individual LED chips can easily malfunction, affecting the display's performance and lifespan. To ensure display quality, defect detection has become an indispensable part of the display production process.

[0048] In related technologies, defect detection for displays often targets single defects. For example, some existing methods can only detect dead pixels, uneven brightness, or color shifts. Furthermore, these methods typically use optical data at a single grayscale level, resulting in limited data and poor accuracy. Simultaneously, single-defect detection methods usually focus only on specific defect features or attributes, neglecting other potential defects. This limitation may lead to the overlooking of other types of defects, thereby reducing the overall accuracy and reliability of the detection.

[0049] To address the problems in the aforementioned related technologies, this application provides a method, apparatus, and electronic device for detecting defects in a display screen. The method acquires display screen images at multiple grayscale levels, obtaining optical data for these images. Based on this optical data, defects are detected in the display screen, enabling the detection of various types of defects. Furthermore, by expanding the defect detection range, the accuracy of display screen defect detection is improved.

[0050] The following is a detailed description of a defect detection method, apparatus, electronic device, storage medium, and computer program for a display screen provided in this application, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a defect detection method for a display screen provided in an embodiment of this application is shown.

[0052] Step 101: Obtain display screen images at multiple gray levels.

[0053] Grayscale refers to the number of different brightness levels or grayscale levels that a display device (such as a screen) can represent. Grayscale is typically used to describe the brightness level range of monochrome or color display devices. For monochrome display devices, grayscale represents the number of different brightness levels between pure black and pure white; for color display devices, grayscale can be used to describe the levels of the brightness channels. Color display devices typically consist of red, green, and blue channels, each of which can have different grayscale levels. Grayscale levels are usually related to the bit depth of the display device, which refers to the number of colors or grayscale levels that each pixel can represent. For example, an 8-bit display device can provide 256 grayscale levels.

[0054] In this embodiment, multiple grayscale images of the display screen can be acquired using a camera or other image acquisition device. For example, standard image acquisition protocols and parameters, such as resolution and exposure time, can be used to acquire display screen images.

[0055] One method is to display different grayscale levels on the screen using a screen-splitting technique, such as by controlling the screen's brightness or using a specific grayscale test pattern. When the screen displays a certain grayscale level, the exposure time, contrast, and other parameters of the image acquisition device can be adjusted accordingly to ensure that a clear and accurate screen image is obtained at each grayscale level.

[0056] In this embodiment of the application, acquiring multiple grayscale display screen images can be achieved by using different acquisition modes, such as continuous acquisition, interval acquisition, or random acquisition, in order to obtain comprehensive image data, i.e., display screen images under multiple grayscale levels.

[0057] For example, multiple gray levels can be set for the display screen, such as 30 gray levels and 150 gray levels, to represent different brightness levels. The exposure time and contrast of the image acquisition device are adjusted according to each gray level to ensure the quality and accuracy of the acquired display screen image, and to detect different defects of the display screen according to the display screen image corresponding to different gray levels.

[0058] For example, multiple gray levels can be set for the display screen, such as 30 gray levels and 31 gray levels, to represent different brightness levels. The exposure time and contrast of the image acquisition device are adjusted according to each gray level to ensure the quality and accuracy of the acquired display screen image. Similarly, a defect of the display screen can be detected based on the display screen image corresponding to different gray levels.

[0059] It should be understood that display screen defects can refer to internal LED chip defects such as uneven brightness or dead pixels, or they can be appearance defects. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0060] In one possible implementation, the multiple gray levels include at least a first gray level and a second gray level, the first gray level being less than or equal to a gray level threshold, and the second gray level being greater than a gray level threshold; the multiple defects of the display screen include at least a first defect corresponding to the first gray level and a second defect corresponding to the second gray level.

[0061] In this embodiment, under low grayscale illumination conditions, defective LEDs exhibit very weak brightness, almost imperceptible to the human eye and undetectable by a camera. Under high grayscale illumination conditions, the brightness of defective LEDs increases, becoming more noticeable to the human eye but less so to the camera, making detection of weak LEDs difficult. Therefore, this application includes at least a first grayscale and a second grayscale among its multiple grayscale levels. The first grayscale is less than or equal to a grayscale threshold, meaning it can refer to a low to medium grayscale level within the grayscale hierarchy. The corresponding display image is primarily used to detect first defects, such as uneven display or dead pixels. The second grayscale is greater than the grayscale threshold, meaning it can refer to a high grayscale level within the grayscale hierarchy. The corresponding display image is primarily used to detect second defects, such as weak brightness, which cannot be detected under low to medium grayscale conditions.

[0062] It should be understood that the grayscale threshold can be determined based on the total number of grayscale levels on the display screen. For example, if the total number of grayscale levels on the display screen is 256, then the grayscale threshold can be set to 140. That is, grayscale levels greater than 140 are considered the second grayscale level, which can be used for weak brightness detection of display screen LEDs.

[0063] It should be noted that the above examples are merely illustrative and should not be regarded as an illustration of this application. In actual use, an appropriate grayscale threshold can be set according to the actual application scenario. This application does not limit the specific value of the grayscale threshold.

[0064] Step 102: Detect various defects in the display screen based on the optical data of the display screen images at multiple gray levels.

[0065] In the embodiments of this application, the optical data includes at least one of brightness data and chromaticity data. That is, based on the brightness data of the display screen image under multiple gray levels, various defects of the display screen can be detected, such as uneven brightness, dead pixels, or weak brightness dead pixels. Based on the chromaticity data of the display screen image under multiple gray levels, various defects of the display screen can be detected, such as uneven chromaticity, color shift, or reflection and refraction problems on the display screen surface. Based on the chromaticity data and brightness data of the display screen image under multiple gray levels, various defects of the display screen can be detected.

[0066] In this embodiment of the application, before detecting various defects of the display screen based on the optical data of the display screen at multiple gray levels, image processing and analysis techniques can be used to extract the brightness and chromaticity data of the display screen from the display screen image.

[0067] For example, an image can be converted from the RGB color space to other color spaces, such as HSV (Hue, Saturation, Luminance) or Lab (Luminance, a, b) color spaces. This is done to separate luminance and chromaticity information, making them easier to extract. Luminance data is then extracted from the converted image. That is, for the HSV color space, luminance typically corresponds to the V channel; for the Lab color space, luminance corresponds to the L channel. Luminance data can be extracted using pixel values ​​or luminance histogram analysis. Similarly, chromaticity data is extracted from the converted image. For the HSV color space, chromaticity information corresponds to the H and S channels; for the Lab color space, chromaticity corresponds to the a and b channels. Chromaticity data can be extracted using pixel values ​​or chromaticity histogram analysis.

[0068] It should be noted that the specific extraction methods and parameter settings may vary depending on the application requirements and image characteristics. Image processing and analysis methods can be based on computer vision algorithms, machine learning techniques, or color science principles, etc.

[0069] In this embodiment of the application, by acquiring display screen images at multiple gray levels, optical data of the display screen images at multiple gray levels can be obtained. Based on the optical data of the display screen images at multiple gray levels, defect detection of the display screen can be performed, and various types of defects of the display screen can be detected. By expanding the defect detection range, the accuracy of display screen defect detection is improved.

[0070] In one possible implementation, the multiple gray levels include at least a first gray level and a second gray level. Therefore, detecting multiple defects of the display screen based on the optical data of the display screen image under multiple gray levels may mean detecting a first defect of the display screen based on the optical data of the display screen image under the first gray level, and detecting a second defect of the display screen based on the optical data of the display screen image under the second gray level.

[0071] The detection of the first defect in the display screen can be performed based on optical data of the display screen image at at least one first gray level, for example, based on optical data of the display screen images at two first gray levels.

[0072] The detection of the second defect in the display screen can be performed based on optical data of the display screen image at at least one second gray level, for example, based on optical data of the display screen images at two second gray levels.

[0073] It should be understood that detecting defects in a display screen can refer to light emission defects, appearance defects, or first or second defects, namely defects displayed in low to medium grayscale or defects displayed in high grayscale.

[0074] As one possible implementation, detecting various defects in a display screen based on optical data from display screen images at multiple grayscale levels also includes:

[0075] Extract the center luminance and chromaticity data of each light point in the display screen image under multiple gray levels;

[0076] Based on the center luminance and chromaticity data of each LED point, various defects in the display screen are detected.

[0077] The luminance and chromaticity data of each light point may refer to the luminance and chromaticity data of the central area of ​​each light point, rather than the luminance and chromaticity data of the entire light point.

[0078] In this embodiment of the application, in order to improve the resolution of the display screen, the distance between each light point in the display screen is usually small. Therefore, when the display screen is lit, there will be brightness crosstalk between the light points. Therefore, when extracting optical data based on the display screen image, the center brightness data of each light point in the display screen image should be extracted to eliminate brightness crosstalk between the light points and improve the accuracy of defect detection.

[0079] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the detection process for the first defect provided in an embodiment of this application is shown.

[0080] Step 201: Obtain the optical data of each light point in the image of the first display screen.

[0081] The first display screen image refers to the display screen image displayed on the display screen at the first gray level, where the first gray level refers to a gray level that is less than or equal to the gray level threshold.

[0082] In this embodiment of the application, the optical data of each light point in the first display screen image can be obtained by using the pixel value displayed by each light point in the first display screen image.

[0083] As one possible implementation, in order to reduce crosstalk between lamps, when acquiring the optical data of each lamp in the image of the first display screen, the optical data of the central region of each lamp in the image of the first display screen can be acquired, that is, the data can be acquired by acquiring the pixel value of the central region of the lamp.

[0084] For example, a camera is used to capture an image of the first display screen at a low to medium grayscale, and then optical data of each light point is obtained based on the pixel value of the central region of each light point in the first display screen image.

[0085] It should be understood that the range of the central area of ​​each light point can be a preset range, depending on the actual situation, and this application does not limit it.

[0086] Step 202: Determine the first reference optical data of the light points in the first display screen image based on the optical data of the light points included in the neighborhood range corresponding to each light point.

[0087] In this embodiment of the application, the first reference optical data of the light points in the first display screen image is determined by first determining the position of each light point in the image based on the first display screen image, then extracting the optical data of each light point in the image (which may refer to the center optical data), and finally determining the first reference optical data of each light point based on the optical data of the light points included in its neighborhood range for each determined light point. This can be accomplished by calculation, weighted averaging or other appropriate methods.

[0088] The first reference optical data is the standard optical data corresponding to the lamp point.

[0089] Step 203: Compare the optical data of each lamp point with the first reference optical data, and determine the lamp points whose optical difference with the first reference optical data is greater than the first preset threshold as the first defects of the display screen.

[0090] The first defect refers to the defects that can be detected on the display screen at medium and low gray levels, such as uneven brightness or color, or dead pixels.

[0091] In this embodiment, to confirm whether a lamp point has a defect, the optical data of each lamp point is compared with its corresponding first reference optical data. If the optical difference between the optical data and its corresponding first reference optical data is greater than a first preset threshold, the lamp point is considered to be the first defect of the display screen. The first preset threshold can be zero, meaning that in a low-to-medium grayscale display state, a lamp point that differs from the first reference optical data is considered the first defect of the display screen.

[0092] In one possible implementation, after detecting that the light point is the first defect, the location coordinates of the light point can be output to facilitate maintenance personnel to perform corresponding maintenance.

[0093] The display screen defect detection method provided in this application embodiment can detect the first defect of the display screen, that is, the detection of ordinary defects of the display screen under normal image when the screen is lit. Furthermore, by extracting the luminance and chromaticity data of the central area of ​​each lamp point in the image, the luminance crosstalk between lamp points is eliminated, thereby improving the accuracy of ordinary defect detection.

[0094] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the detection process for the second defect provided in an embodiment of this application is shown.

[0095] Step 301: Obtain the optical data of each light point in the image of the second display screen.

[0096] The second display image refers to the display image shown on the display screen at the second gray level, where the second gray level refers to a gray level greater than the gray level threshold.

[0097] In this embodiment of the application, the optical data of each light point in the second display screen image can be obtained by using the pixel value displayed by each light point in the second display screen image.

[0098] As one possible implementation, in order to reduce crosstalk between the lamps, when acquiring the optical data of each lamp in the image of the second display screen, the optical data of the central region of each lamp in the image of the second display screen can be acquired, that is, it can be acquired by acquiring the pixel value of the central region of the lamp.

[0099] For example, a second display screen image of the display screen at a high grayscale is acquired by a camera, and then optical data of each light point is obtained based on the pixel value of the central region of each light point in the second display screen image.

[0100] It should be understood that the range of the central area of ​​each light point can be a preset range, depending on the actual situation, and this application does not limit it.

[0101] In one possible implementation, due to the high grayscale screen printing, i.e., obtaining the display image of the screen at a high grayscale, the presentation of defective light points (such as weak light points) will be relatively obvious, but not very obvious in the second display image. Directly performing defect detection based on the second display image will increase the detection difficulty to some extent.

[0102] Therefore, before detecting various defects in the display screen based on optical data from display screen images at multiple gray levels, the process also includes:

[0103] Image preprocessing is performed on the display screen image to make the imaging brightness of the first lit lamp in the display screen image greater than the preset brightness.

[0104] The first lighting state can refer to a weak lighting state. That is, the lighting state of a lamp is determined based on the imaging brightness of the lamp. If the imaging brightness of a lamp is lower than the standard brightness, then the lamp can be determined to be in the first lighting state, i.e., the weak lighting state.

[0105] For example, the display effect of defective light points (e.g., weak light points) on the image can be enhanced by image processing technology, that is, the imaging brightness of defective light points can be enhanced so that the defective light points can be more clearly presented on the image of the second display screen.

[0106] In one possible implementation, the display screen image can be acquired when the acquisition parameters of the acquisition device are adjusted to preset parameter values, so that the imaging brightness of the lamps in the first lit state in the display screen image is greater than the preset brightness.

[0107] The first lighting state can refer to a dim lighting state, and the light point in the first lighting state can refer to the light point in the dim lighting state.

[0108] For example, the camera's Gamma value can be adjusted to enhance the image brightness of weakly lit areas and cause the camera image to be completely overexposed. Specifically, the camera's Gamma value can be adjusted to be greater than 1, i.e., adjusted to a non-linear mode, which enhances the image brightness of weakly lit areas while keeping the image brightness of normal lit areas essentially unchanged. Furthermore, since the exposure value cannot be reduced, the image captured by the camera is completely overexposed, thus fully revealing the weakly lit areas.

[0109] The preset parameter value can refer to the camera's acquisition parameter value when the imaging brightness of a light point in a dimly lit state in the display image is greater than the preset brightness.

[0110] After performing the above operations, the center optical data of each light point in the second display image after image processing or camera parameter settings can be obtained, so as to determine the second reference optical data of each light point.

[0111] Step 302: Determine the second reference optical data of the light points in the image of the second display screen based on the optical data of the light points included in the neighborhood range corresponding to each light point.

[0112] In this embodiment of the application, the second reference optical data of the light points in the second display screen image is determined by first determining the position of each light point in the image based on the second display screen image, then extracting the optical data of each light point in the image (which may refer to the center optical data), and finally determining the second reference optical data of each light point based on the optical data of the light points included in its neighborhood range for each determined light point. This can be accomplished by calculation, weighted averaging or other appropriate methods.

[0113] The second reference optical data is the standard optical data corresponding to that light point.

[0114] Step 303: Compare the optical data of each lamp point with the second reference optical data, and determine the lamp points whose optical differences between the second reference optical data are within the second preset threshold range as the second defects of the display screen.

[0115] The second defect refers to a weak brightness or weak darkness defect detected in a light spot under high grayscale, that is, a light spot with a brightness or color that is slightly weaker than a normal light spot. The defect corresponding to this light spot is the second defect.

[0116] In this embodiment, to confirm whether a lamp point has a second defect, the optical data of each lamp point is compared with its corresponding second reference optical data. If the optical difference between the optical data and its corresponding second reference optical data is within a second preset threshold range, the lamp point is considered a second defect of the display screen. The first preset threshold can be a small value, such as 10 nits. That is, in a high grayscale display state, a lamp point with a small difference from the second reference optical data is a weak-brightness lamp point, and the corresponding defect is a second defect of the display screen.

[0117] Similarly, if the difference between the chromaticity data of a light spot and the reference chromaticity data is within the corresponding second preset threshold range, it can also be determined that the light spot has a second defect.

[0118] In one possible implementation, after detecting that the light spot is a second defect, the location coordinates of the light spot can be output to facilitate maintenance personnel to perform corresponding maintenance.

[0119] In one possible implementation, the display image is an image displayed at intervals on the display at a second grayscale level; detecting various defects of the display based on optical data of the display images at multiple grayscale levels also includes:

[0120] Based on the optical data of the lamps included in the neighborhood range corresponding to each lamp in the display image, the third reference optical data of the lamps in the display image is determined;

[0121] If the optical difference between the optical data of the spaced-out light spot and the third reference optical data is within the third preset threshold range, then the spaced-out light spot is determined to be a second defect of the display screen; and / or

[0122] If the optical data of a missing light point detected at a certain interval is greater than the fourth preset threshold, then the missing light point at that interval is determined to be the second defect of the display screen.

[0123] In this embodiment of the application, since the detection is performed on a full-screen display, the amount of data to be compared is large and the system running speed is slow. Therefore, the method of intermittent screen display can be selected so that the display screen displays a preset image (e.g., an image displayed at intervals) in the second grayscale. Based on the display screen image displayed at intervals, the optical data of the light points included in the neighborhood range of each light point in the image is obtained, and the third reference optical data corresponding to the light points displayed at intervals are determined.

[0124] If the optical data of the displayed light point is weaker than the corresponding third reference optical data (i.e., the optical difference between the optical data of the light point and the third reference optical data is within the third preset threshold range), it indicates that the light point is weakly bright or weakly dark, and the light point can be identified as the second defect of the display screen.

[0125] If the optical data of a light point that is not displayed on the screen is greater than the fourth preset threshold (which can be zero), it indicates that the light point is not displaying properly and there may be problems with the circuit design. This light point can be identified as the second defect of the display screen.

[0126] The display screen defect detection method provided in this application embodiment can detect the second defect of the display screen. That is, by using high grayscale screen printing and adjusting the camera Gamma value or performing image processing on the display screen image, the brightness and color of weak lights are increased, so that the weak light defect is fully highlighted. By extracting the brightness and color data of the central area of ​​each light point in the image, eliminating the brightness crosstalk between light points, and comparing the brightness and color data of the light beads in the field, the purpose of accurately detecting weak lights is achieved.
