Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of display, in particular to a display panel brightness adjustment method and device, electronic equipment and storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] OD (over drive) is to reduce dynamic trailing and improve display effect by giving a higher voltage to make liquid crystal turn to target angle in a short time. PQ (picture quality) debugging is generally to achieve this purpose by changing the OD compensation value of 33 gray scale binding points. Demura debugging is to compensate for the display mura caused by process differences of the panel, and to call the ACC (Accurate Color Capture) value of other gray scales to brighten / darken the mura area, so that the subjective brightness is consistent.

[0003] According to the Demura principle, the ACC value called by Tcon in the region after Demura debugging is different from the ACC value of the region without Demura debugging, so the OD compensation values called by the two regions are different, thereby causing brightness difference in the gray scale switching process, which is manifested as water mark issue at the junction of the two regions, affecting the subjective display effect.

[0054] Referring to Figure 1 The embodiment of the present application provides a display panel brightness adjustment method, which comprises steps S101-S104, and specifically as follows.

[0055] S101, obtaining a to-be-adjusted region of the display panel, a first gray scale parameter of a current display picture, and a second gray scale parameter of a next frame picture to be displayed.

[0056] Specifically, the to-be-adjusted region is a partial region of the display panel, the to-be-adjusted region comprises any number of pixels, the pixels in the to-be-adjusted region are regions requiring Demura compensation, and the gray scales of the pixels in the to-be-adjusted region conflict with each other after Demura compensation (luminance unevenness compensation) and OD compensation (liquid crystal deflection compensation), resulting in water marks at the junctions between the to-be-adjusted region and non-to-be-adjusted regions of the display panel. Assuming that the current display picture of the display panel is an L98 picture, and assuming that the AB regions are adjacent, the AB regions are both L98 (the ACC value of L98 is called, and at this time, A is brighter than B subjectively) without Demura compensation, and the A region changes from L98 to L85 after Demura, while the B region remains L98, and the next frame picture to be displayed is an L128 picture, and assuming that the AB regions do not require Demura when L128, the OD compensation value called by the A region is the value of L85-L128 when the next frame picture is switched to L128, and the OD compensation value called by the B region is the value of L98-L128, so the luminances of the AB regions are different. As shown in Figure 2 , the horizontal coordinate is the time of liquid crystal deflection, and the vertical coordinate is the luminance, that is, the application of different OD compensation values to different regions will cause the speed of liquid crystal deflection to be inconsistent, thereby forming water marks in the subjective luminance difference, and the subjective performance of the water marks is as shown in Figure 3 .

[0057] The first gray scale parameter of the current display picture comprises a target gray scale parameter and an actual display gray scale of the current display picture, the target gray scale parameter is a target gray scale input into the Tcon, and the actual display gray scale is a gray scale after the Tcon compensates the target gray scale parameter through Demura compensation and / or OD compensation. The next frame picture to be displayed is a neighboring frame picture of the current display picture, and the second gray scale parameter of the next frame picture to be displayed is a target gray scale parameter of the next frame picture.

[0058] In one embodiment, the step is further preceded by: S201, dividing the display area into a plurality of partitions; S202, obtaining a gray scale compensation value when each partition displays an arbitrary gray scale to compensate for luminance unevenness; and S203, determining a partition with a gray scale compensation value greater than a preset compensation value as the to-be-adjusted area.

[0059] Specifically, the display area is divided into a plurality of partitions, and the division into a plurality of partitions is used to determine a Mura area of the display area. If the pixels of the Mura area are directly displayed with a target gray scale of the pixels, the pixels can be too bright or too dark, and therefore, Demura compensation is needed to make the actual display luminance the same as the luminance theoretically reached by the target gray scale.

[0060] The gray scale compensation value is a difference between a gray scale after Demura compensation and a target gray scale. For different partitions, some partitions can be Mura areas, that is, Demura compensation is needed to make the actual display luminance the same as the luminance theoretically reached by the target gray scale, and some partitions do not need Demura compensation and can be directly driven with the target gray scale to display the luminance theoretically reached by the target gray scale.

[0061] In addition, for the partitions belonging to the Mura area, the gray scale compensation value of some partitions is small after Demura compensation, that is, the gray scale does not change much before and after Demura compensation. Even if OD compensation is further performed, the luminance difference with the area that does not perform Demura compensation and only performs OD compensation is not large, and therefore, the partition will not have the water marks described in the above embodiment even if Demura compensation and OD compensation are simultaneously performed.

[0062] Therefore, only the partition with the gray scale compensation value greater than the preset compensation value is determined as the to-be-adjusted region, and the size of the preset compensation value is set according to the self-precision requirement, and can be adjusted in the debugging process, which is not limited in the embodiment. For example, the preset compensation value is set as 20, and the target gray scale of a partition is L100, and then when the gray scale after Demura compensation is <80 or >120, the partition is determined as the to-be-adjusted region, otherwise, when the gray scale after Demura compensation is ≥80 and ≤120, the partition is not the to-be-adjusted region. In addition, the preset compensation values corresponding to different partitions can be the same or different, which is not limited in the embodiment. The determined to-be-adjusted region is determined and written into Tcon in the debugging process to be marked, that is, the to-be-adjusted region is a fixed region.

[0063] It should be noted that, under the premise that the Tcon data processing capacity is sufficient, the to-be-adjusted region of each frame of display picture can dynamically change. When the second gray scale parameter of the next frame of picture to be displayed is acquired, the gray scales of each partition after Demura compensation of the second gray scale parameter are determined, and the partition with the gray scale compensation value greater than the preset compensation value after Demura compensation is determined as the to-be-adjusted region of the next frame of picture to be displayed for adjustment. In this way, the to-be-adjusted region of each frame of picture is dynamically analyzed.

[0064] In one embodiment, in step S203, the partition with the gray scale compensation value greater than the preset compensation value is determined as the to-be-adjusted region, including: S301, acquiring the maximum gray scale compensation value of each partition when brightness unevenness compensation is performed according to the gray scale compensation value; and S302, determining the partition with the maximum gray scale compensation value greater than the preset compensation value as the to-be-adjusted region.

[0065] Specifically, for the partition belonging to the Mura region, even if it is the same partition, when the target gray scale is different, the corresponding gray scale compensation value can be the same or different. In order to avoid water marks in the arbitrary display picture, the maximum gray scale compensation value of each partition when brightness unevenness compensation is performed is determined, and as long as the maximum gray scale compensation value is greater than the preset compensation value, the corresponding partition is determined as the to-be-adjusted region.

[0066] S102, determining a dynamic picture region in the to-be-adjusted region according to the first gray scale parameter and the second gray scale parameter.

[0067] Specifically, in the two adjacent frames, the gray scale value of the same region in the to-be-adjusted region may change or remain unchanged. Compared with the region with large change, the angle of liquid crystal deflection corresponding to the region with small change or no change is small or no change. Therefore, the dynamic picture region in the to-be-adjusted region is determined according to the first gray scale parameter and the second gray scale parameter, and the dynamic picture region is the region with large gray scale change in the next frame relative to the current display picture in the to-be-adjusted region. The dynamic picture region and the non-dynamic picture region in the to-be-adjusted region are processed respectively.

[0068] In one embodiment, the step includes: S401, dividing the to-be-adjusted region into a plurality of sub-regions; S402, if the difference between the first gray scale parameter and the second gray scale parameter of a target sub-region in the sub-region is greater than a preset threshold, determining the target sub-region as the dynamic picture region.

[0069] Specifically, the to-be-adjusted region is divided into a plurality of sub-regions, and each sub-region contains an arbitrary number of pixels. The division of the sub-regions can be the same as or different from the division of the zones in the above-mentioned embodiments. In addition, since the to-be-adjusted region is determined based on the Mura region, the edge contour of the to-be-adjusted region can be a regular pattern or not. Therefore, the shape and the number of pixels contained in different sub-regions can be the same or different, which is not limited in the embodiment.

[0070] An arbitrary sub-region is selected as a target sub-region. If the difference between the first gray scale parameter and the second gray scale parameter of the target sub-region is greater than a preset threshold, it indicates that the target sub-region has large change on the basis of the current display picture to the next frame. Therefore, the target sub-region is determined as the dynamic picture region.

[0071] S103, reducing the compensation value of the second gray scale parameter of the dynamic picture region in the to-be-adjusted region, and performing liquid crystal deflection compensation based on the compensation value after the reduction.

[0072] Specifically, the gray scale compensation value of the pixels in the to-be-adjusted region for Demura compensation is large. If the pixels in the to-be-adjusted region are compensated by Demura and OD, water marks will be formed. Therefore, the degree of brightness uneven compensation or liquid crystal deflection compensation of the pixels in the to-be-adjusted region is reduced, the conflict between the two is reduced, and the formation of water marks is avoided.

[0073] If the dynamic picture area in the to-be-adjusted area is switched to the next frame picture with large change on the basis of the current display picture, if Demura compensation is performed without OD compensation, even if the actual gray scale determined by Demura compensation can reach the same brightness as the target gray scale in theory, without OD compensation, the liquid crystal deflection cannot reach the degree corresponding to the actual gray scale, and the displayed brightness is still different from the brightness of the target gray scale in theory, that is, for the dynamic picture area in the to-be-adjusted area, the degree of reduction of the brightness unevenness compensation is preferentially selected to perform liquid crystal deflection compensation.

[0074] According to the target display gray scale of the second gray scale parameter and the preset brightness unevenness compensation mapping table, the next frame actual gray scale of the dynamic picture area is determined, the difference between the next frame actual gray scale and the target display gray scale is a compensation value of the brightness unevenness compensation, and the compensation value is reduced. According to the actual display gray scale of the first gray scale parameter, the target display gray scale after the compensation value is reduced, and the preset liquid crystal deflection compensation mapping table, the driving parameter of the dynamic picture area is determined. For example, the target display gray scale of the second gray scale parameter is L95, the next frame actual gray scale after the brightness unevenness compensation is L85, but the degree of reduction of the brightness unevenness compensation is determined, the target display gray scale after the compensation value is reduced is determined as L90, and the liquid crystal deflection compensation is performed based on L90.

[0075] In the preset liquid crystal deflection compensation mapping table, the corresponding pixel driving parameter can be determined based on the actual display gray scale and the target display gray scale, the liquid crystal deflection compensation mapping table is determined based on OD compensation debugging, and the embodiment is not limited specifically. In the preset brightness unevenness compensation mapping table, the target display gray scale and the actual display gray scale are one-to-one corresponding, after the next frame actual gray scale is determined, the driving parameter corresponding to the next frame actual gray scale can be determined by table lookup, the brightness unevenness compensation mapping table is determined based on Demura compensation debugging, and the embodiment is not limited specifically. The degree of reduction of the brightness unevenness compensation can be determined by debugging, and the embodiment is not limited specifically.

[0076] In one embodiment, the step includes: S501, determining the actual display gray scale of the current display picture of the dynamic picture area according to the first gray scale parameter; S502, determining the target display gray scale of the next frame picture of the dynamic picture area according to the second gray scale parameter; S503, determining the pixel driving parameter of the dynamic picture area according to the actual display gray scale, the target display gray scale, and the preset liquid crystal deflection compensation mapping table; and S504, displaying the target display gray scale by the pixel driving parameter.

[0077] Specifically, the gray scale compensation value of the pixel in the to-be-adjusted region for Demura compensation is large, and if the pixel in the to-be-adjusted region is compensated by both Demura compensation and OD compensation, water marks are formed, so the pixel in the to-be-adjusted region is compensated by only one of Demura compensation and OD compensation, thereby avoiding water marks caused by the conflict of the two compensations.

[0078] The actual display gray scale of the current display picture of the dynamic picture region is determined according to the first gray scale parameter, and the actual display gray scale is the gray scale of the current display picture of the dynamic picture region after Demura compensation and / or OD compensation. The target display gray scale of the next frame picture of the dynamic picture region is determined according to the second gray scale parameter, and the target display gray scale is the gray scale of the next frame picture of the dynamic picture region without Demura compensation and / or OD compensation.

[0079] According to the actual display gray scale, the target display gray scale, and a preset liquid crystal deflection compensation mapping table, a pixel driving parameter of the dynamic picture region is determined, and the pixel driving parameter is used to control the dynamic picture region to switch from the actual display gray scale to the target display gray scale, that is, the next frame dynamic picture region displays the target display gray scale of the to-be-displayed next frame picture without Demura compensation, and only based on OD compensation, the liquid crystal of the dynamic picture region is deflected to a deflection degree corresponding to the target display gray scale.

[0080] S104, the second gray scale parameter of the to-be-adjusted region other than the dynamic picture region is compensated for brightness unevenness, and liquid crystal deflection compensation is reduced.

[0081] Specifically, the gray scale compensation value of the pixel in the to-be-adjusted region for Demura compensation is large, and if the pixel in the to-be-adjusted region is compensated by both Demura compensation and OD compensation, water marks are formed, so the pixel in the to-be-adjusted region is compensated by only one of Demura compensation and OD compensation, thereby avoiding water marks caused by the conflict of the two compensations.

[0082] The dynamic picture region in the to-be-adjusted region has small changes when switching from the current display picture to the next frame picture, and the degree of liquid crystal deflection has little change, so even if OD compensation is not performed, the liquid crystal can be deflected to the corresponding degree, and Demura compensation can further improve the problem of brightness unevenness, so the brightness unevenness compensation is preferentially performed for the dynamic picture region in the to-be-adjusted region, and the liquid crystal deflection compensation is reduced.

[0083] According to the target display gray scale of the second gray scale parameter and the preset brightness uneven compensation mapping table, the next frame actual gray scale of the dynamic picture area is determined. According to the actual display gray scale of the first gray scale parameter, the next frame actual gray scale and the preset liquid crystal deflection compensation mapping table, the driving parameter of the next frame actual gray scale is determined to reduce the degree of liquid crystal deflection compensation. For example, the actual display gray scale of the first gray scale parameter is L95, the target display gray scale of the second gray scale parameter is L128, and the next frame actual gray scale after brightness uneven compensation is L120. The compensation value of the liquid crystal deflection compensation for switching L95 to L120 is D1, and the next frame actual gray scale L120 is reduced to L115, that is, the compensation value of the liquid crystal deflection compensation for switching L95 to L115 is determined, and the liquid crystal deflection compensation is reduced. The degree of reduction of the liquid crystal deflection compensation can be determined by debugging, and the embodiment is not limited in detail.

[0084] In one embodiment, the step includes: S601, determining the target display gray scale of the next frame picture of the dynamic picture area according to the second gray scale parameter; S602, determining the next frame actual gray scale of the dynamic picture area and the driving parameter corresponding to the next frame actual gray scale according to the target display gray scale and the preset brightness uneven compensation mapping table; and S603, controlling the dynamic picture area to display the next frame actual gray scale by the driving parameter corresponding to the next frame actual gray scale.

[0085] Specifically, the gray scale compensation value of the pixel in the to-be-adjusted region for Demura compensation is large, and if the pixel in the to-be-adjusted region is compensated by both Demura compensation and OD compensation, water marks are formed. Therefore, the pixel in the to-be-adjusted region is compensated by only one of Demura compensation and OD compensation, so as to avoid water marks caused by the conflict of the two compensations.

[0086] Since the dynamic picture area in the adjustment region does not perform liquid crystal deflection compensation, that is, the adjustment process does not involve the display parameter of the current display picture of the dynamic picture area. The target display gray scale of the next frame picture of the dynamic picture area is determined according to the second gray scale parameter, and the target display gray scale is the gray scale of the next frame picture of the dynamic picture area after not being compensated by Demura compensation and / or OD compensation.

[0087] According to the target display gray scale and the preset brightness uneven compensation mapping table, the next frame actual gray scale of the dynamic picture area and the driving parameter corresponding to the next frame actual gray scale are determined, and the dynamic picture area is controlled to display the next frame actual gray scale by the driving parameter corresponding to the next frame actual gray scale, that is, the next frame dynamic picture area displays the next frame actual gray scale of the to-be-displayed next frame picture after Demura compensation, but not OD compensation. The degree of liquid crystal deflection of the dynamic picture area can be the deflection degree corresponding to the next frame actual gray scale, or can be close to the deflection degree corresponding to the next frame actual gray scale.

[0088] The preset luminance uneven compensation mapping table is determined based on the target display gray scale and the actual display gray scale in a one-to-one correspondence. After the next frame actual gray scale is determined, the driving parameter corresponding to the next frame actual gray scale can be determined by looking up the table. The luminance uneven compensation mapping table is determined based on Demura compensation debugging, and the present embodiment is not limited in detail.

[0089] It should be noted that when one of the Demura compensation and the OD compensation is reduced, the detection function can be added in the Tcon to achieve the reduction, the Demura compensation value and the OD compensation value are set as default, or the corresponding compensation value is determined as 0, that is, the corresponding compensation is not actually performed.

[0090] In one embodiment, after the liquid crystal deflection compensation, the second gray scale parameter of the non-dynamic picture area in the to-be-adjusted area is subjected to luminance uneven compensation, and the second gray scale parameter of the non-to-be-adjusted area of the display panel is subjected to luminance uneven compensation and liquid crystal deflection compensation.

[0091] Specifically, the remaining area of the non-to-be-adjusted area of the display panel includes two types of areas. One type is a non-Mura area, that is, no Demura compensation is needed, or the gray scale after Demura compensation is consistent with the target gray scale. The other type is a Mura area, but the difference between the gray scale after Demura compensation and the target gray scale is small. Therefore, the second gray scale parameter of the non-to-be-adjusted area of the display panel is subjected to luminance uneven compensation and liquid crystal deflection compensation.

[0092] First, the next frame actual gray scale of the dynamic picture area is determined based on the target display gray scale according to the second gray scale parameter and the preset luminance uneven compensation mapping table (that is, Demura compensation is performed). Then, the pixel driving parameter of the dynamic picture area is determined based on the actual display gray scale of the first gray scale parameter, the next frame actual gray scale, and the preset liquid crystal deflection compensation mapping table (that is, OD compensation is performed). The pixel driving parameter is used to control the dynamic picture area to display the next frame actual gray scale, and the liquid crystal deflection degree of the dynamic picture area is the deflection degree corresponding to the next frame actual gray scale.

[0093] The Demura compensation or the OD compensation is only performed in the to-be-adjusted area, and conflict caused by simultaneous performance of the two is avoided to cause water marks. In addition, according to the first gray scale parameter of the current display picture and the second gray scale parameter of the next frame picture to be displayed, a dynamic picture area in which the next frame picture has a large gray scale change relative to the current display picture in the to-be-adjusted area is determined, the dynamic picture area in the to-be-adjusted area reduces the liquid crystal deflection compensation for ensuring the liquid crystal deflection degree, and the liquid crystal deflection degree of the non-dynamic picture area in the to-be-adjusted area changes little, and the second gray scale parameter reduces the liquid crystal deflection compensation for the uneven brightness compensation.
