It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units does not have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but can include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.
[0082] As mentioned in the background, the existing display panel has brightness variation when displaying different pictures, the inventors found that the reason for this problem is that: Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 is a circuit equivalent diagram of a group of sub-pixels in the display panel, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in the existing display panel, the red sub-pixel R, the green sub-pixel G and the blue sub-pixel B are connected to the same first power voltage input end and the same second power voltage input end, that is, the red sub-pixel, the green sub-pixel and the blue sub-pixel are connected in parallel. Referring to Figure 2 , the first power voltage input end is used to input the first power voltage ELVDD, the second power voltage input end is used to input the second power voltage ELVSS, and the red sub-pixel R, the green sub-pixel G and the blue sub-pixel B are connected in parallel. R0 is the resistance on the connection path between the sub-pixel and the first power voltage input end, R1 is the equivalent resistance of the red sub-pixel, R2 is the equivalent resistance of the green sub-pixel, R3 is the equivalent resistance of the blue sub-pixel, I1 is the current flowing through the red sub-pixel, I2 is the current flowing through the green sub-pixel, and I3 is the current flowing through the blue sub-pixel. When the red sub-pixel R, the green sub-pixel G and the blue sub-pixel B are all turned on, based on the characteristics of the parallel circuit, the total current I = I1 + I2 + I3, and the parallel resistance R 并 of the red sub-pixel R, the green sub-pixel G and the blue sub-pixel B satisfies the following relationship, 1 / R 并 = 1 / R1 + 1 / R2 + 1 / R3. When the blue sub-pixel B is turned off, R 并 changes, the load changes, the influence of R3 disappears, R 并 increases, I decreases, the voltage division of R0 becomes smaller, the voltage division of R 并 increases, and the picture brightness becomes brighter. Therefore, in the existing display panel, when the display gray scale of any color sub-pixel changes, it will affect the parallel resistance of each sub-pixel in the panel, the actual power voltage of each sub-pixel brightness, the display brightness of other sub-pixels, resulting in different display brightness of the same gray scale of the sub-pixel in different pictures, and affecting the display picture quality.
[0083] Based on the above problems, the present application provides a compensation method for a display panel, referring to Figure 1 , the display panel comprises a plurality of pixel groups 01, each pixel group 01 comprising at least one sub-pixel, the first end of the plurality of pixel groups 01 being electrically connected to the first power voltage input end, and the second end of the plurality of pixel groups 01 being electrically connected to the second power voltage input end.
[0084] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a compensation method for a display panel provided by an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 3The compensation method of the display panel comprises the following steps:
[0085] S110, determining a compensation intermediate value of the pixel group under the current display picture; wherein the compensation intermediate value comprises a total current of the plurality of pixel groups or a parallel resistance of the plurality of pixel groups.
[0086] The current display picture is a picture that the display panel currently needs to display. Each pixel group contains the same sub-pixel. For example, each pixel group can include a red sub-pixel, or each pixel group includes a green sub-pixel, or each pixel group includes a blue sub-pixel, or each pixel group can include a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel and a blue sub-pixel. The plurality of pixel groups are all pixel groups connected to the same first power voltage input terminal and the same second power voltage input terminal. The plurality of pixel groups can be all pixel groups in the display panel, or can be pixel groups in a partial region. For example, the display panel can include two or more sub-regions, each sub-region including a plurality of pixel groups, the first end of the plurality of pixel groups in each sub-region being electrically connected to the first power voltage input terminal, and the second end of the plurality of pixel groups in each sub-region being electrically connected to the second power voltage input terminal. When different sub-regions are connected to different first power voltage input terminals and different second power voltage input terminals, the compensation intermediate value of each sub-region is determined, and the compensation value of the plurality of pixel groups in the sub-region is determined according to the compensation intermediate value of each sub-region.
[0087] Specifically, the display gray scale of each pixel group can be determined according to the current display picture, the output current of each pixel group can be determined according to the display gray scale, and the total current of the plurality of pixel groups can be obtained by adding the output currents of the plurality of pixel groups. The parallel resistance of the plurality of pixel groups can also be calculated according to the total current. Since the voltage change between the two ends of the pixel group is small, the voltage between the two ends of the pixel group when the plurality of pixel groups display the same gray scale is determined in advance, and the approximate value of the parallel resistance is obtained according to the ratio of the voltage to the total current. The approximate value is determined as the parallel resistance. When the display picture changes, the total current and the parallel resistance will change accordingly, and both the total current and the parallel resistance can reflect the load change of the display panel.
[0088] When each pixel group includes a red sub-pixel, the compensation intermediate value of the pixel group including the red sub-pixel can be determined according to the gray scale of the red sub-pixel in the current display picture. When each pixel group includes a green sub-pixel, the compensation intermediate value of the pixel group including the green sub-pixel can be determined according to the gray scale of the green sub-pixel in the current display picture. When each pixel group includes a blue sub-pixel, the compensation intermediate value of the pixel group including the blue sub-pixel can be determined according to the gray scale of the blue sub-pixel in the current display picture.
[0089] S120, determining a compensation value of each pixel group according to the compensation intermediate value.
[0090] Figure 4 is an equivalent circuit diagram of a sub-pixel, referring to Figure 4 , Cst is a storage capacitor, T2 is a driving transistor, OLED is an organic light emitting diode, V1 is a voltage of a first power supply voltage divided to the sub-pixel, including VDS and Voled, VDS is a voltage difference between source and drain of the driving transistor, Voled is a voltage between two terminals of the organic light emitting diode. Under the same driving voltage Vdata, Volde and VDS are both regarded as equivalent resistance division, Volde∝Real ELVDD_U, then: sub-pixel brightness Lum∝Volde 2 ∝(Real ELVDD_U-VDS) 2 ∝Real ELVDD_U 2 , wherein Real ELVDD_U is a voltage between two terminals of a pixel group, i.e. the sum of Voled and VDS.
[0091] and, , wherein Rx is a parallel resistance of a plurality of pixel groups, R0 is a resistance between a first power supply voltage input terminal and the pixel group, and ΔV is a difference between the first power supply voltage and a second power supply voltage. Therefore, the total current of the sub-pixel and the parallel resistance Rx have a certain relationship with the brightness Lum of the pixel group. When the display picture changes, the total current and the parallel resistance can both reflect the load change of the display panel, and the brightness change can be determined according to the total current and the parallel resistance, so that the compensation value can be determined.
[0092] Therefore, the corresponding relationship between the compensation intermediate value and the compensation value can be determined in advance, the corresponding relationship between the compensation intermediate value and the compensation value is stored in the display panel in advance, and the compensation value of each pixel group can be determined according to the compensation intermediate value under the current display picture, in combination with the stored corresponding relationship between the compensation intermediate value and the compensation value. In addition, the compensation value of the pixel group can also be calculated according to the compensation intermediate value.
[0093] In addition, the compensation value can be a compensation gray scale value, a compensation voltage value or a compensation gain coefficient, etc., which is not specifically limited in the present embodiment. When each pixel group includes one sub-pixel, the compensation value of the sub-pixel can be directly determined according to the compensation intermediate value, when each pixel group includes two or more sub-pixels of different light emitting colors, the compensation value of each sub-pixel can be determined according to the compensation intermediate value and the brightness and chroma relationship of the at least three different light emitting color sub-pixels, or the compensation value of the pixel group can be first determined according to the compensation intermediate value, and then the compensation value of each sub-pixel can be determined according to the compensation value of the pixel group and the brightness and chroma relationship of the different light emitting color sub-pixels.
[0094] The embodiment of the present application determines a compensation intermediate value of a pixel group in a current display picture, wherein the compensation intermediate value comprises a total current or a parallel resistance of the pixel group connected to the same first power voltage input terminal and the same second power voltage input terminal; and then determines a compensation value of each pixel group according to the compensation intermediate value. The total current and the parallel resistance can both reflect the load condition of the display panel in the current display picture, and the total current and the parallel resistance both have a certain relationship with the brightness change of the sub-pixel. The compensation value determined according to the total current or the parallel resistance can better compensate the brightness change of the pixel group, improve the display brightness change caused by the display picture change, and improve the picture display quality of the display panel.
[0095] Optionally, the compensation value of each pixel group is determined according to the compensation intermediate value, comprising:
[0096] The compensation value of each pixel group is determined according to the compensation intermediate value and a corresponding relationship between the compensation intermediate value and the compensation value stored in advance.
[0097] Specifically, the corresponding relationship between the compensation intermediate value and the compensation value can be a corresponding relationship table or a corresponding relationship function. By storing the corresponding relationship between the compensation intermediate value and the compensation value in the display panel in advance, the compensation value of the pixel group can be quickly determined according to the compensation intermediate value, and the compensation speed is improved.
[0098] Optionally, the compensation value of each pixel group is determined according to the compensation intermediate value and the corresponding relationship between the compensation intermediate value and the compensation value stored in advance, comprising:
[0099] The compensation value of each pixel group is determined according to the compensation intermediate value and the corresponding relationship table stored in advance by an interpolation algorithm; wherein the corresponding relationship table is a corresponding relationship table between the compensation intermediate value and the compensation value.
[0100] Specifically, the interpolation can be linear interpolation or nonlinear interpolation. The compensation value is determined more quickly by the table lookup and interpolation, and the compensation speed is improved.
[0101] Optionally, the corresponding relationship table comprises compensation intermediate values and compensation values corresponding to at least two different display brightness levels, and the same display brightness level comprises at least two different compensation intermediate values and compensation values corresponding to the at least two different compensation intermediate values.
[0102] Specifically, the display brightness level, namely DBV, the display panel can include a plurality of different display brightness levels. Under different display brightness levels, the maximum display brightness of the display panel is different, and the minimum display brightness is the same, for example, the minimum display brightness can be 0 nit, and the maximum display brightness can be 2 nit, 10 nit, 50 nit, 100 nit, 200 nit, 500 nit, 600 nit, 800 nit or 1000 nit, etc. Under each display brightness level, the display panel can display 0 gray scale to 2 t -1 gray scale, for example, can display 0-255 gray scale.
[0103] After determining the compensation intermediate value corresponding to the current display picture, it can be found in the correspondence table whether the display brightness level corresponding to the current display picture is included. When the display brightness level corresponding to the current display picture is included in the correspondence table, and the corresponding compensation intermediate value, the compensation value of each pixel group can be directly determined according to the compensation value corresponding to the compensation intermediate value.
[0104] For example, the current display picture adopts the first display brightness level, the current display picture includes two gray scales, part of the pixel groups display the first gray scale, and part of the pixel groups display the second gray scale. The calculated compensation intermediate value is a. The correspondence table includes the first display brightness level, and the first display brightness level includes the first gray scale compensation value (the compensation value corresponding to the first gray scale) and the second gray scale compensation value (the compensation value corresponding to the second gray scale) corresponding to the intermediate value a. Then the first gray scale compensation value is directly used as the compensation value of the pixel group displaying the first gray scale, and the second gray scale compensation value is directly used as the compensation value of the pixel group displaying the second gray scale. If the correspondence table includes the first display brightness level, and the first display brightness level includes the third gray scale compensation value (the compensation value corresponding to the third gray scale) and the fourth gray scale compensation value (the compensation value corresponding to the fourth gray scale) corresponding to the intermediate value a, the compensation value of the pixel group displaying the first gray scale and the compensation value of the pixel group displaying the second gray scale are obtained by interpolation according to the third gray scale compensation value and the fourth gray scale compensation value.

If the current display picture includes the third gray scale and the fourth gray scale, and the intermediate compensation value corresponding to the current display picture is d, then the compensation value s111 of the pixel group displaying the first gray scale when the intermediate compensation value is d can be obtained by interpolating s1 and s11 according to a, b, and d, the compensation value s222 of the pixel group displaying the second gray scale when the intermediate compensation value is d can be obtained by interpolating s2 and s22 according to a, b, and d, and the compensation values of the pixel group displaying the third gray scale and the pixel group displaying the fourth gray scale in the current display picture can be obtained by interpolating s111 and s222.
[0109] If the compensation intermediate value and the corresponding compensation value corresponding to the second display brightness level q2 and the third display brightness level q3 closest to the first display brightness level q1 are included in the correspondence table, then the compensation value corresponding to the compensation intermediate value of the current display picture is determined by interpolation according to the compensation intermediate value of the current display picture and the compensation intermediate values of the second display brightness level q2 and the third display brightness level q3, and the compensation values of the pixel groups are determined according to the compensation value corresponding to the compensation intermediate value of the current display picture.

[0123] Specifically, according to the brightness change rate of the i-th pixel group, the brightness compensation amount can be determined to determine the gray scale compensation amount or the driving voltage compensation amount, or the compensation gain coefficient.
[0124] Optionally, each pixel group includes at least three sub-pixels of different light emitting colors; after the compensation value of each pixel group is determined according to the compensation intermediate value, the method further includes:
[0125] The compensation value of each sub-pixel in the pixel group is determined according to the compensation value of the pixel group.
[0126] Specifically, when all the sub-pixels in the display panel are connected to the same first power voltage input end and the same second power voltage input end, the sub-pixels can be grouped, and each pixel group can include a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel, for example. The multiple pixel groups in the above embodiment are all the pixel groups in the display panel. First, the compensation value of the pixel group is determined, and then the compensation value of each sub-pixel in the same pixel group is determined according to the white balance requirement or the brightness ratio of red, green, and blue. In this way, on the one hand, the compensation difficulty is reduced, and on the other hand, the brightness of each pixel group when displaying the same gray scale in different pictures is ensured to be similar or consistent, thereby improving the picture display quality.
[0127] In addition, in order to avoid the mutual influence of the loads between sub-pixels of different colors, the embodiment further provides a new type of display panel, Figure 6 is an equivalent diagram of a display panel provided by the embodiment of the present application, for reference Figure 6 The display panel includes at least three sub-pixels of different light emitting colors, each pixel group includes one sub-pixel, the first end of a plurality of pixel groups including sub-pixels of the same light emitting color is connected to the same first power voltage input end, the second end of the plurality of pixel groups including sub-pixels of the same light emitting color is connected to the same second power voltage input end, and the first power voltage input end and the second power voltage input end connected by the sub-pixels of different light emitting colors are different.

[0131] The compensation values of the sub-pixels of the same light-emitting color are determined according to the compensation intermediate values of the pixel groups containing the sub-pixels of the same light-emitting color.
[0132] Specifically, all the sub-pixels of the same light-emitting color in the display panel can be connected to the same first power voltage input end and the same second power voltage input end according to requirements. Alternatively, the display panel can be divided into at least two sub-regions, and the sub-pixels of the same light-emitting color in each sub-region are connected to the same first power voltage input end and the same second power voltage input end. In this case, the pixel groups in the above embodiments are all the sub-pixels of the same light-emitting color in the same sub-region. When compensation is performed, the compensation intermediate values of the pixel groups containing the sub-pixels of the same light-emitting color in the sub-region can be determined according to the current picture, and then the compensation values of the sub-pixels of the light-emitting color are determined according to the compensation intermediate values. The sub-pixels of different colors are connected to different first power voltage input ends and different second power voltage input ends, and the change of the display gray scale of the sub-pixels of one color does not affect the voltages across the sub-pixels of other colors, thereby avoiding the mutual influence of the sub-pixels of different colors, improving the picture display quality of the display panel, and reducing the difficulty of compensation.
[0133] Alternatively, all the sub-pixels of the same light-emitting color in the display panel are connected to the same first power voltage input end and the same second power voltage input end, and the sub-pixels of different light-emitting colors are connected to different first power voltage input ends and different second power voltage input ends.
[0134] Specifically, referring to Figure 6 , all the red sub-pixels R are connected to the same first power voltage input end ELVDD1 and the same second power voltage input end ELVSS1, all the green sub-pixels G are connected to the same first power voltage input end ELVDD2 and the same second power voltage input end ELVSS2, and all the blue sub-pixels B are connected to the same first power voltage input end ELVDD3 and the same second power voltage input end ELVSS3. The sub-pixels of different colors are connected to different first power voltage input ends and different second power voltage input ends, and the change of the display gray scale of the sub-pixels of one color does not affect the voltages across the sub-pixels of other colors, thereby avoiding the mutual influence of the sub-pixels of different colors, improving the picture display quality of the display panel, and reducing the difficulty of compensation.
[0135] Further, in the process of determining the compensation value of the pixel group, the total current or parallel resistance of all red sub-pixels is determined according to the display gray scale of the red sub-pixels in the current display picture, and the compensation value of each red sub-pixel is determined according to the total current or parallel resistance of the red sub-pixels. The total current or parallel resistance of all green sub-pixels is determined according to the display gray scale of the green sub-pixels in the current display picture, and the compensation value of each green sub-pixel is determined according to the total current or parallel resistance of the green sub-pixels.

Optionally, the ith total output current output by all ith pixel groups is determined, and the total current of the plurality of pixel groups is determined according to the first total output current, the second total output current, the (n-1)th total output current, and the nth total output current, including:
[0141] the output current of each pixel group is determined according to the following formula:
[0142] pixel_unit_Ii=K*pixel_unit_I*(Grayi / Gray255) Gamma *ratioi; wherein,
[0143] Grayi is the i-th gray scale, pixel_unit_Ii is the i-th total output current of all the i-th pixel groups, ratioi is the proportion of all the i-th pixel groups in the plurality of pixel groups, pixel_unit_I is the total output current when the plurality of pixel groups display 255 gray scale, K is a coefficient, and Gamma is a gamma value.
[0144] The first total output current, the second total output current, the (n-1)-th total output current, and the n-th total output current are added to obtain the total current of the plurality of pixel groups.
[0145] Specifically, since the brightness of the pixel group is positively correlated with the current of the pixel group, it can be obtained from the relationship between the gray scale and the brightness that pixel_unit_L = pixel_unit_L255 * (Grayi / Gray255). Gamma pixel_unit_Ii ∝ pixel_unit_I * (Gray64 / Gray255). Gamma Thus, the total current of the pixel group displaying the i-th gray scale pixel_unit_Ii = K * pixel_unit_I * (Grayi / Gray255) Gamma *ratioi. The coefficient K can be determined according to the actual situation of the sub-pixel, and an example can be determined according to calibration.

[0149] The preset gray scale can be any gray scale, for example, the preset gray scale can be 255 gray scale, Real ELVDD_U1 can be calculated in advance, and Real ELVDD_U1 is stored in the display panel. For reference Figure 2Since R0 is smaller than the parallel resistance Rx of the pixel group, when the display gray scale of the pixel group changes, the voltage change between the pixel group is small, so the voltage between the pixel group at any preset gray scale can be calculated, and the approximate value of the parallel resistance is obtained according to the voltage and the total current, and the approximate value is determined as the parallel resistance. The parallel resistance is calculated by the voltage between the pixel group and the total current when the plurality of pixel groups display the same preset gray scale in the embodiment, which simplifies the calculation process and improves the compensation speed.

[0167] Specifically, the jth output current is a total output current of all the jth pixel groups connected to the same first power voltage input terminal and the same second power voltage input terminal. It is referred to Figure 6 Different color sub-pixels are connected to different first power voltage input terminals and second power voltage input terminals, and the first preset picture is a red picture including two gray scales. The process of determining the first compensation value of the red sub-pixel is taken as an example for illustration:

[0185] The total current of all the red sub-pixels displaying 64 gray scale: pixel_unit_I22' =
[0186] pixel_unit_I22 * ratio1 = K * pixel_unit_I1 * (Gray64 / Gray255) Gamma * ratio2;

[0192] The above embodiment only exemplarily shows the case that part of the red sub-pixels display 64 gray scales and part of the red sub-pixels display 255 gray scales, and is not a limitation to the present application. When the first preset display screen includes multiple gray scales, the total current of the pixel group displaying each gray scale can also be determined according to the above method, then the total current and the parallel resistance of the pixel groups connected to the same first power voltage input terminal and the same second power voltage input terminal are determined, so as to determine the parallel voltage, and the first compensation value is determined according to the parallel voltage and the jth voltage.
