Detailed Implementation

[0056] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," and "counterclockwise," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0057] In this application, the A-AVDD algorithm represents a power supply voltage regulation algorithm.

[0058] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This illustration shows an example of the grayscale of each sub-pixel connected to any two data lines in a display device. Figure 2 This illustrates an example of how the traditional A-AVDD algorithm detects signal flipping in an image. The traditional A-AVDD algorithm uses the grayscale flipping of adjacent sub-pixels to characterize signal flipping in the image. Figure 1 The two data lines shown are data line1 and data line2, each connecting 5 sub-pixels. The grayscale of each sub-pixel on data line1 is set with intervals of 170 and 0, and the grayscale of each sub-pixel on data line2 is set with intervals of 220 and 50. For example, the signal flip count on data line1 is 680, and the signal flip count on data line2 is also 680. At this time, the A-AVDD algorithm considers the signal flip counts to be the same. However, in reality, the actual data voltage flip count from 0 to 170 on data line1 is less than the actual data voltage flip count from 50 to 220 on data line2. Therefore, the change in data voltage is not the same as the change in grayscale value. Using the change in grayscale value as the basis for calculating the signal flip count cannot intuitively reflect the light and heavy load situation of the current frame, which may cause the A-AVDD algorithm to start at an inappropriate time and increase the power consumption of the display panel.

[0059] To address the problems existing in the traditional A-AVDD algorithm, this application provides a power supply voltage adjustment method for a display device. By detecting data voltage flips as the basis for calculating the total number of signal flips, the method can more accurately determine the total number of signal flips in the image, and thus more accurately define the effective timing of power supply voltage adjustment, thereby solving at least some of the aforementioned technical problems.

[0060] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This illustration shows the structure of a display device provided in an embodiment of this application. The display device includes a display panel 10, which includes multiple data lines 11, each data line 11 connecting to multiple sub-pixels 12. The display device also includes a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) 20 and a timing controller (TCON) 30. Both the PMIC 20 and the timing controller 30 are connected to the display panel 10, and the timing controller 30 is also connected to the PMIC 20. The timing controller 30 contains multiple functional IP (Intellectual Property) modules. Among these functional IP modules, the functional IP module corresponding to the A-AVDD algorithm is the target IP module 31. The power supply voltage adjustment method for the display device provided in this embodiment is applied to the timing controller 30.

[0061] In some embodiments, the display device further includes a mapping register 40, which is configured to pre-store mappings.

[0062] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This illustration shows the overall flow of a power supply voltage adjustment method for a display device according to an embodiment of this application. The power supply voltage adjustment method for the display device includes the following steps:

[0063] 401: Obtain the mapping relationship between grayscale and data voltage of display panel 10.

[0064] Specifically, the data voltage is the voltage of the input data line 11 that drives the sub-pixel 12 to display the brightness corresponding to the grayscale. The mapping relationship between grayscale and data voltage is called the grayscale voltage lookup table (LUT). The data voltage corresponding to a grayscale can be found from the grayscale voltage lookup table. This lookup table can be stored in the mapping relationship register 40.

[0065] In some embodiments, step 401 may be performed by the following steps:

[0066] Step 1: Check whether there is a mapping relationship between the grayscale of the display panel 10 and the data voltage in the mapping relationship register 40.

[0067] Step 2: If a mapping relationship exists in the mapping relationship register 40, then obtain the mapping relationship from the mapping relationship register 40.

[0068] In this way, grayscale can be easily converted into data voltage and the total number of subsequent signal flips can be calculated, thus improving processing efficiency.

[0069] Furthermore, in some embodiments, after performing step one, step 401 may also include the following steps:

[0070] Step 3: If there is no mapping relationship in the mapping relationship register 40, then read the gamma voltage corresponding to each binding point grayscale from the power management integrated circuit 20.

[0071] Specifically, when adjusting the gamma characteristic curve of the display panel 10, a grayscale binding method is typically used for debugging. The gamma voltage corresponding to each grayscale binding point is stored in the power management integrated circuit 20. At this time, the timing controller 30 can read the gamma voltage corresponding to each grayscale binding point from the power management integrated circuit 20.

[0072] Step 4: Based on the gamma voltage corresponding to each binding point gray level, obtain the gray level voltage corresponding to the entire gray level using linear interpolation.

[0073] Specifically, full grayscale refers to all grayscale levels within the entire grayscale range, such as all grayscale levels from grayscale 0 to grayscale 255.

[0074] Step 5: Determine the grayscale voltage corresponding to the full grayscale as the mapping relationship between the grayscale and data voltage of the display panel 10.

[0075] Step 6: Store the mapping relationship in mapping relationship register 40.

[0076] Thus, by means of the above method, when there is no mapping relationship in the mapping relationship register 40, the mapping relationship register 40 is initialized based on the gray level of the bound point and the corresponding gamma voltage to obtain the gray level voltage corresponding to the full gray level, and this is used as the mapping relationship between gray level and data voltage. This is not only more convenient, but also ensures that the mapping relationship is consistent with the display panel 10, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent calculations.

[0077] 402: Based on the mapping relationship between grayscale and data voltage, obtain the data voltage corresponding to the display grayscale of each sub-pixel 12 in the current frame.

[0078] Specifically, based on the display grayscale of each sub-pixel 12, the data voltage corresponding to each display grayscale is found from the mapping relationship.

[0079] 403: Based on the data voltage corresponding to each sub-pixel 12 connected on each data line 11, obtain the total number of signal flips in the current frame.

[0080] In some embodiments, the total number of signal flips in the current frame can be obtained in the following way:

[0081] Step 1: Based on each data line 11, obtain the voltage difference between the data voltages of any two adjacent sub-pixels 12 on the data line 11.

[0082] Step 2: The sum of the absolute values ​​of the voltage differences on all data lines 11 is used to determine the total number of signal flips in the current frame.

[0083] In some examples, the total number of signal flips in the current frame can be determined using the following formula (1):

[0084]

[0085] In formula (1), Toggle represents the total number of signal flips in the current frame. The larger the Toggle, the greater the load on data line 11 and the higher the power consumption. line_1 is the first data line 11, line_w is the wth data line 11, w is the number of data lines 11, w is a positive integer, i is an integer greater than or equal to 2 and less than or equal to h, h is the number of sub-pixels 12 connected to each data line 11, h is a positive integer, V(g i ) represents the data voltage corresponding to the i-th sub-pixel 12, V(g) i-1 ) represents the data voltage corresponding to the (i-1)th sub-pixel 12.

[0086] 404: If the total number of signal flips is greater than the preset threshold, the power supply voltage of the display panel 10 will be adjusted.

[0087] In some embodiments, if the total number of signal flips exceeds a preset threshold, the timing controller 30 determines that the current screen is a reloaded screen and the power supply voltage AVDD needs to be adjusted. Specifically, the power supply voltage of the display panel 10 can be adjusted through the following steps:

[0088] Step 1: Obtain the initial power supply voltage of the display panel 10.

[0089] Specifically, the timing controller 30 reads the initial power supply voltage of the display panel 10 from the power management integrated circuit 20 and writes the initial power supply voltage into the target IP module 31.

[0090] Step 2: Within the duration of the vertical time-series blank area of ​​each frame, obtain the power supply voltage corresponding to the current frame based on the initial power supply voltage, the pre-set target power supply voltage, and the position of the current frame.

[0091] Specifically, the duration of the vertical time blanking area in each frame is the V-Blanking area in each frame. For example, for a resolution of 1920 (horizontal h direction) × 1080 (vertical v direction), but in reality, 1150 lines of data may be sent in the v direction, then the V-Blanking area is 1150 - 1080 = 70 lines.

[0092] After the timing controller 30 writes the initial power supply voltage into the target IP module 31, the target IP module 31 can obtain the power supply voltage corresponding to the current frame within the duration of the vertical timing blank area of ​​each frame, based on the initial power supply voltage, the pre-set target power supply voltage, and the position of the current frame. Specifically, it can be calculated using inter-frame interpolation methods in related technologies. For example, based on the difference between the initial power supply voltage and the target power supply voltage, and the number of frames between the initial frame and the target frame, the voltage interval value for each frame can be obtained. Then, the frame difference between the current frame and the initial frame is multiplied by the voltage interval value and added to the initial power supply voltage to obtain the power supply voltage corresponding to the current frame. The specific details are not elaborated here.

[0093] Step 3: Adjust the power supply voltage of the display panel 10 to the power supply voltage corresponding to the current frame.

[0094] Specifically, the timing controller 30 writes the power supply voltage corresponding to the current frame calculated by the target IP module 31 into the power management integrated circuit 20, so that the power management integrated circuit 20 provides the power supply voltage corresponding to the current frame to the display panel 10.

[0095] In addition, in some embodiments, the power supply voltage adjustment method for the display device may further include the following steps in parallel with step 401:

[0096] Step 1: Obtain the grayscale of each sub-pixel 12 in the current frame of the display panel 10.

[0097] Step 2: Based on the grayscale of each sub-pixel 12, obtain the proportion of high grayscale.

[0098] Specifically, the proportion of high gray levels is determined by the quotient of the number of high gray levels in each sub-pixel 12 and the total number of sub-pixels 12.

[0099] Step 3: If the proportion of high grayscale exceeds the preset grayscale threshold, the power supply voltage of the display panel 10 is adjusted.

[0100] It is understood that the power supply voltage adjustment method provided in this application uses the detection of data voltage flips as the basis for calculating the total number of signal flips, which can more accurately determine the total number of signal flips in the image, thereby more accurately defining the effective timing of power supply voltage adjustment and making power supply voltage adjustment more reliable.
