[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] In addition, the terms "first", "second" are only used for description purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features, so that the features with "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features, and in the description of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise explicitly and specifically limited.

[0027] With the increasing diversification of the demand for display screens, dynamic switching between different color gamuts can bring each color space to the extreme, achieving the effect of presenting different images in original colors. Among them, different color gamuts can include sRGB color space, DCI-P3 color space, and Adobe color space.

[0028] Color gamut switching display technology refers to supporting dynamic switching between DCI-P3 color space, Adobe, sRGB color space, so as to achieve an ultra-high standard with a mean value (delta E) of color calibration ability less than 1. Flexible switching can be performed according to the visual needs of different application scenarios (such as entertainment, daily office work, professional application, etc.), realizing the matching of display and image color gamut.

[0029] However, different color gamut switching can realize the display requirements of different application scenarios, while there are some display color difference problems between different color gamuts, such as when the display screen is used to take pictures with a camera, the DCI-P3 color space and the sRGB color space have different red and green colors, and compared with the portrait picture presented by the sRGB color space, the portrait picture presented by the DCI-P3 color space will show redness, as shown in Figure 1 .

[0030] The specific reasons why the portrait picture shows redness when taking pictures are as follows: there are differences between the DCI-P3 color space and the sRGB color space in the display process, that is, the same picture shows different color points. For example, a pure color picture of skin with RGB gray levels of 142 / 117 / 120, the color coordinates displayed in the DCI-P3 color space are (0.346, 0.320), and the color coordinates displayed in the sRGB color space are (0.337, 0.319), as shown in Figure 2 . Figure 3 The spectrum results shown in Figure 2 match the redness of the color points in the DCI-P3 color space.

[0031] Among them, in Figure 3 , the curve represented by S1 represents the proportion of red color under the corresponding wavelength in the sRGB color space. The rectangular dashed box represents the proportion of red color under the corresponding wavelength in the DCI-P3 color space. It can be seen that in the oval dashed box, the rectangular dashed box is higher than S1 on the vertical axis, which means that the proportion of red color (R) in the DCI-P3 color space is greater than that in the sRGB color space.

[0032] In view of the above-mentioned problem of display color difference between different color gamuts, the embodiment provides a color difference adjustment method, which is applied to a display screen, the display screen has an sRGB color space and a DCI-P3 color space, and the display screen also has other display modes and other application scenario modes. As shown in Figure 4 , the color difference adjustment method comprises the following steps:

[0033] Step S10: determining the color coordinate difference between the color coordinates displayed in the sRGB color space and the color coordinates displayed in the DCI-P3 color space.

[0034] Step S20: establishing a color calibration matrix library.

[0035] Step S30: calling the third color calibration matrix in other modes according to the color coordinate difference configuration DCI-P3 color space.

[0036] The color calibration matrix library includes the first color calibration matrix, the second color calibration matrix, and the third color calibration matrix, the sRGB color space calls the first color calibration matrix in the display mode, and the DCI-P3 color space calls the second color calibration matrix in the display mode.

[0037] It can be understood that the color difference adjustment method and the liquid crystal display provided by the embodiment can make the colors shown by the DCI-P3 color space in other modes closer to the colors shown by the sRGB color space in the display mode by calling the first color calibration matrix in the display mode according to the sRGB color space, calling the second color calibration matrix in the display mode according to the DCI-P3 color space, and calling the third color calibration matrix in other application scenario modes according to the color coordinate difference configuration DCI-P3 color space, thereby reducing the color difference between the DCI-P3 color space and the sRGB color space in different modes, and further improving the display color difference between different color gamuts.

[0038] It should be noted that the DCI-P3 color space is a wide color gamut standard proposed by the American film industry, and is also one of the color standards of the current digital film playback device. The color gamut coverage of the DCI-P3 color space is wider, and the color gamut coverage is increased by 25% compared with the sRGB color space. Therefore, the color calibration matrix under the DCI-P3 color space is selected for adjustment in the present application, which has a larger adjustable range and does not have a dead angle that cannot be adjusted. Of course, in other embodiments, the color calibration matrix under the sRGB color space can also be selected for adjustment according to the inventive concept of the present application, although the adjustable range is smaller, but the corresponding beneficial effects can still be achieved.

[0039] In one embodiment, the display screen also has an Adobe color space, and the display screen or the user can select the sRGB color space, the DCI-P3 color space, or the Adobe color space for display according to the application scenario. This can realize more different color gamut switching, and is more conducive to achieving the effect of presenting different images in original colors.

[0040] The Adobe color space is a color standard developed by Adobe Company in 1998, which increases the CMYK color gamut based on the sRGB color space, and is mainly improved in the cyan and green color system compared with the sRGB color space, and is more widely used in the printing industry, flat packaging, and printing design field.

[0041] In one of the embodiments, the other application scene modes include a photographing mode, the third color calibration matrix is called in the other modes according to the color coordinate difference configuration DCI-P3 color space, including: the third color calibration matrix is called in the photographing mode according to the color coordinate difference configuration DCI-P3 color space.

[0042] It should be noted that the display mode refers to the normal display of the display screen, for example, displaying a static picture or a dynamic picture. Unlike the display mode, the other modes can also be sensing recognition modes, such as touch mode or fingerprint recognition mode, etc.

[0043] The color calibration matrix library is established as follows, and Table 1 as shown below is the standard color points under different color gamuts.

[0044]

[0045] These standard color points can be known in advance. Taking the target color coordinates of the white picture in the DCI-P3 color space in the display mode as an example, (0.3127, 0.3290), the following matrix can be obtained based on these standard color points:

[0046]

[0047]

[0048]

[0049]

[0050] wherein w xyz is obtained based on the target color coordinates of the white picture in the DCI-P3 color space in the display mode. Let Y in the three stimulus values under the white picture be 1, then w xyz can be converted into the corresponding three stimulus value coordinates w XYZ , and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0051]

[0052] w XYZ can also be obtained through the following formulas 1-6:

[0053]

[0054] wherein, is the color coordinate matrix, and it can be seen that the color coordinate matrix is obtained by converting the color coordinates of the standard color points.

[0055] The formulas 1-6 can be transformed to obtain the following formula 1-7:

[0056]

[0057] wherein, is the inverse matrix of the color coordinate matrix. is an intermediate matrix.

[0058] is a multi-dimensional matrix converted from the intermediate matrix.

[0059] Then the second color calibration matrix (M) can be obtained as follows:

[0060]

[0061] Based on the above calculation process, the matrices corresponding to different target color coordinates in the sRGB color space and other specific color spaces can be obtained. Based on this, taking the target color coordinate (0.3127, 0.3290) in the sRGB color space as an example, the first color calibration matrix is shown in Table 2 as follows:

[0062]

[0063] Under the DCI-P3 color space, when the target color coordinate changes, for example, changes to (0.3037, 0.3280), the third color calibration matrix calculation process is as follows:

[0064]

[0065] wherein, w xyz is obtained based on the target color coordinate of the white picture in the shooting mode under the DCI-P3 color space. Let Y in the three stimulus values under the white picture be 1, then w xyz can be converted into the corresponding three stimulus value coordinate w XYZ , and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0066]

[0067] is a color coordinate matrix, and it can be seen that the color coordinate matrix is obtained by converting the color coordinates of the standard color points.

[0068] The formula 1-6 can be transformed to obtain the following formula 2-7:

[0069]

[0070] wherein, is the inverse matrix of the color coordinate matrix. is an intermediate matrix.

[0071] is a multi-dimensional matrix converted from the intermediate matrix.

[0072] Thus, a third color calibration matrix (M) can be obtained:

[0073]

[0074] For example, a pure color picture of a skin with RGB gray scales of (142, 117, 120) has color coordinates of (0.346, 0.320) in the DCI-P3 color space and color coordinates of (0.337, 0.319) in the sRGB color space,

[0075] When the camera is used to take a picture, according to the color coordinate difference of the portrait picture in the DCI-P3 color space and the sRGB color space (for example, the color coordinates in the DCI-P3 color space are (Wx, Wy), and the color coordinates in the sRGB color space are (Wx-0.009, Wy-0.001)), the third color calibration matrix shown in Table 3 is called:

[0076]

[0077] For the picture with RGB gray scales of (142, 117, 120), the color coordinates in the DCI-P3 color space can be adjusted from (0.346, 0.320) to (0.337, 0.319), so that the color coordinates in the DCI-P3 color space are close to the color coordinates in the sRGB color space, solving the problem of color difference of the portrait color display when switching different color gamuts when taking a picture, and improving the use experience.

[0078] The above examples are only one implementation of display picture color offset of different DCI-P3 color space tables. The matrix of Table 3 can be extended and updated according to the color coordinate difference of different display modes to solve the display color difference problem of different display application scenarios.

[0079] As shown in Figure 5 In the case where the RGB gray scales are (142, 117, 120), the color coordinates (P1) in the DCI-P3 color space and the color coordinates (P2) in the sRGB color space have obvious differences. The color space of the DCI-P3 color space is richer than that of the sRGB color space. Therefore, by adjusting the color point in the DCI-P3 color space to match the color point in the sRGB color space, the color difference caused by switching different color gamuts in the picture taking application scenario can be solved.

[0080] Specifically, as shown in Figure 6As shown, the adjustment direction of the color point in the DCI-P3 color space is to move the color point in the DCI-P3 color space to the left to be close to the color point in the sRGB color space, and the brightness adjustment scheme corresponding to the RGB of the synthetic white picture is to reduce the gray scale voltage of the red pixel or to increase the gray scale voltage of the green pixel and the blue pixel.

[0081] In one of the embodiments, the embodiment provides a liquid crystal display which executes the color difference adjustment method described above.

[0082] It can be understood that, since the liquid crystal display provided by the embodiment executes the color difference adjustment method described above, the first color calibration matrix is called in the display mode by the sRGB color space, the second color calibration matrix is called in the display mode by the DCI-P3 color space, the third color calibration matrix is called in other modes by the DCI-P3 color space according to the color coordinate difference, which can make the colors shown in the other modes by the DCI-P3 color space closer to the colors shown in the display mode by the sRGB color space, thereby reducing the color difference between the DCI-P3 color space and the sRGB color space in different modes, and further improving the problem of display color difference between different color gamuts.

[0083] It needs to be noted that, in order for the liquid crystal display to execute the color difference adjustment method described above, as shown in Figure 7 The liquid crystal display can include an acquisition module 100, a data module 200, and a calling module 3300.
