[0003] However, the related technology suffers from the problem that the display panel does not perform well at low brightness. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a method for debugging a display panel, as well as a display driving method, apparatus, device, and medium, which can improve the display effect of the display panel under low brightness.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a method for obtaining driving parameters of a display panel. The display panel includes sub-pixels with different emitting colors, and the cathodes of the sub-pixels with different emitting colors are disconnected from each other.

[0051] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of this application will now be described in detail. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only configured to explain this application and are not configured to limit this application. For those skilled in the art, this application can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely to provide a better understanding of this application by illustrating examples.

Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0053] It should be understood that when describing the structure of a component, when referring to a layer or region as being "above" or "on top of" another layer or region, it can mean that it is directly above the other layer or region, or that it contains other layers or regions between it and the other layer or region. Furthermore, if the component is flipped over, that layer or region will be located "below" or "under" the other layer or region.

[0054] Various modifications and variations can be made to this application without departing from its spirit or scope, which will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, this application is intended to cover modifications and variations falling within the scope of the corresponding claims (the claimed technical solutions) and their equivalents. It should be noted that the embodiments provided in this application can be combined with each other without contradiction.

[0055] Before describing the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application, in order to facilitate understanding of the embodiments of this application, this application first specifically explains the problems existing in the related technologies:

[0056] Organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display panels have many advantages such as self-illumination, fast response, high brightness, and thinness, and have gradually become the mainstream in the display field.

[0057] With the increasing popularity and technological advancements of OLED displays, the eye-protection features of screens in consumer devices are becoming increasingly important. In low-brightness mode, to improve the display effect, the light-emitting time of the display panel within a single frame can be reduced to increase the OLED current, thus improving the display effect at low brightness. This dimming mode is called PWM dimming. The opposite of PWM dimming is full DC dimming. Full DC mode offers better eye protection because of its stable light-emitting time and virtually no screen flicker.

[0058] Full DC dimming includes: in high-brightness mode, gamma adjustment is performed on the display panel to obtain the target gamma voltage value in high-brightness mode; the target gamma voltage value in low-brightness mode is directly mapped from the target gamma voltage value in high-brightness mode. The target gamma voltage value corresponds to the gamma register value.

[0059] However, when OLED devices change from high brightness to low brightness, the efficiency of OLED devices with different emission colors of sub-pixels changes inconsistently. Therefore, the target register value under low brightness is directly mapped from the target register value under high brightness, which will cause the display panel to have color shift problem under low brightness in full DC dimming mode.

[0060] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a method for debugging a display panel, as well as a display driving method, apparatus, device, and medium. The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will illustrate various embodiments of the display panel debugging method, display driving method, apparatus, device, and medium.

[0061] The method for obtaining driving parameters of a display panel provided in this application embodiment is used to adjust the cathode voltage of the display panel. The display panel may include sub-pixels with different emitting colors, and the cathodes of the sub-pixels with different emitting colors are disconnected from each other.

[0062] For at least one sub-pixel of a luminous color in the display panel, such as Figure 1 As shown, the method for obtaining the driving parameters of the display panel provided in this application embodiment may include S10 to S40.

[0063] S10, acquire multiple first target gamma voltage values ​​corresponding to multiple target brightness values ​​within the target brightness level, where the target brightness level is in the first brightness level range;

[0064] S20, based on multiple first target gamma voltage values, determine the second target gamma voltage value corresponding to the brightness value to be displayed, the brightness value to be displayed is within the brightness range of the second brightness level range, and the maximum brightness value of the second brightness level range is less than the maximum brightness value of the first brightness level range;

[0065] S30, drive the sub-pixel display with the second target gamma voltage value and the initial cathode voltage value, and obtain the actual display parameters of the display panel;

[0066] S40, if the actual display parameters do not match the target display parameters, adjust the initial cathode voltage value so that the actual display parameters of the display panel based on the adjusted cathode voltage value match the target display parameters, and obtain the target cathode voltage value corresponding to the brightness value to be displayed.

[0067] The specific implementation methods of the above steps will be described in detail below.

[0068] According to the display panel driving parameter acquisition method provided in this application embodiment, firstly, a second target gamma voltage value corresponding to the brightness value to be displayed is obtained based on a first target gamma voltage value corresponding to the target brightness level. Then, if the actual display parameters of the display panel based on the second target gamma voltage value and the initial cathode voltage value do not conform to the target display parameters, the initial cathode voltage value is further adjusted to obtain the target cathode voltage value, so that the actual display parameters of the display panel based on the second target gamma voltage value and the target cathode voltage value conform to the target display parameters. In this way, on the basis of full DC dimming mode, the cathode voltage under low brightness can be further compensated, thereby helping to improve the display effect of the display panel under low brightness.

[0069] Before introducing the specific implementation methods of S10 to S40, the structure of the display panel is first described. The display panel may include sub-pixels that emit different colors of light. For example, the display panel may include an R sub-pixel that emits red light, a G sub-pixel that emits green light, and a B sub-pixel that emits blue light. The cathodes of the sub-pixels that emit different colors of light are disconnected from each other. For example, the cathodes of the R sub-pixel, the G sub-pixel, and the B sub-pixel can all be disconnected from each other, thereby allowing independent control of the cathode voltage of the sub-pixels that emit different colors of light.

[0070] As an example, please refer to Figure 2 The sub-pixel may include a pixel driving circuit 11 and a light-emitting element 20. The pixel driving circuit 11 is electrically connected to the light-emitting element 20 to drive the light-emitting element to emit light.

[0071] The light-emitting element 20 may include a stacked anode 21, a light-emitting functional layer 22, and a cathode 23. The cathodes 23 of sub-pixels with different light-emitting colors can be disconnected from each other, so that the cathode voltage of sub-pixels with different light-emitting colors can be controlled independently.

[0072] The display panel may include a substrate 10, and the light-emitting element 20 may be located on one side of the substrate 10. The substrate 10 may include a pixel driving circuit 11.

[0073] The display panel may also include a pixel defining portion 40 and an isolation structure 30. The pixel defining portion 40 may include a pixel opening, and a light-emitting functional layer 23 may be disposed within the pixel opening.

[0074] The cathodes 23 of sub-pixels with different emission colors can be disconnected from each other through the isolation structure 30. For example, the isolation structure 30 may include an isolation wall 31 and a barrier portion 32. The projected area of ​​the barrier portion 32 on the substrate 10 may be larger than the projected area of ​​the isolation wall 31 on the substrate 10.

[0075] Optionally, in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the substrate 10, the cross-section of the isolation wall 31 can be a regular trapezoid or an inverted trapezoid.

[0076] The isolation wall 31 and the barrier part 32 can be made of conductive or insulating materials.

[0077] When the isolation wall 31 is made of metal, only one of the cathodes of two adjacent sub-pixels with different emission colors is electrically connected to the isolation wall 31. This can be achieved by adjusting the evaporation angle of the light-emitting functional layer 22 and the cathode 23.

[0078] Figure 2 The way the cathodes are disconnected from each other shown is merely an example and is not intended to limit this application.

[0079] The specific implementation methods of S10 to S40 are described below.

[0080] First, let's introduce S10.

[0081] The display panel can include multiple brightness levels, and can display at different brightness levels. Each brightness level has a certain brightness range. Taking an image bit depth of 8 bits as an example, it includes a grayscale image from 0 to 255. The display panel can display a grayscale image from 0 to 255 at each brightness level, and the brightness of different grayscale images displayed at the same brightness level will be different.

[0082] For example, the multiple brightness levels of a display panel can be divided into a first brightness level range and a second brightness level range, where the maximum brightness value of the second brightness level range is less than the maximum brightness value of the first brightness level range.

[0083] The first and second brightness level ranges may each include at least one brightness level. The maximum brightness value of any brightness level in the second brightness level range is less than the maximum brightness value of any brightness level in the first brightness level range. For example, the first brightness level range may include brightness levels HBM to L1, and the second brightness level range may include brightness levels L2 to Ln. For example, the brightness range of brightness level HBM is 0 to 600 nits, the brightness range of brightness level L1 is 0 to 200 nits, the brightness range of brightness level L2 is 0 to 100 nits, and the brightness range of brightness level Ln is 0 to 2 nits.

[0084] One of the brightness levels in the first brightness level range can be used as the target brightness level.

[0085] Prior to S10, the method provided in this application embodiment may further include: performing gamma adjustment on multiple target brightness values ​​within the target brightness level to obtain multiple first target gamma voltage values ​​corresponding to the multiple target brightness values ​​within the target brightness level.

[0086] Understandably, the gamma tuning process is the same as the gamma voltage value tuning process. The actual display brightness value of the display panel based on the first target gamma voltage value can basically reach or equal the target brightness value corresponding to the first target gamma voltage value.

[0087] For example, for any target brightness value within the target brightness level, an initial gamma voltage value corresponding to the target brightness value can be set. Then, the display panel is driven to display based on the initial gamma voltage value, and the actual display brightness value is collected. If the difference between the collected actual display brightness value and the target brightness value is outside the preset range, the initial gamma voltage value is adjusted to obtain the adjusted gamma voltage value. This ensures that the difference between the actual display brightness value and the target brightness value of the display panel is within the preset range under the drive of the adjusted gamma voltage value. The adjusted gamma voltage value is then used as the first target gamma voltage value corresponding to the target brightness value.

[0088] For example, gamma adjustment can be performed on the display panel at each brightness level within the first brightness level range to obtain the target gamma voltage value corresponding to each brightness level within the first brightness level range.

[0089] When the target brightness value is known, the gray level corresponding to the target brightness value can be determined according to the following formula (1).

[0090]

[0091] Where Lx represents the target brightness value, Lmax represents the maximum brightness value corresponding to a certain brightness level, Gmax represents the maximum grayscale of the display panel, r represents the gamma index, and gray represents the grayscale value corresponding to the target brightness value Lx.

[0092] It is understandable that different brightness levels correspond to different maximum brightness values, so the same target brightness value can correspond to different grayscale levels at different brightness levels.

[0093] For example, Gmax = 255, r = 2, the maximum brightness of the i-th brightness level is 500 nits, and the maximum brightness of the j-th brightness level is 300 nits. Taking a brightness value of approximately 5.10 nits as an example, this target brightness value corresponds to 32 gray levels at the i-th brightness level and 40 gray levels at the j-th brightness level. The gamma voltage values ​​corresponding to 32 gray levels at the i-th brightness level and 40 gray levels at the j-th brightness level can be the same. Next, we will introduce S20.

[0094] Gamma adjustment of the display panel can be performed only at the high brightness level. The target gamma voltage value at the low brightness level can be mapped from the target gamma voltage value at the high brightness level, thus improving the adjustment efficiency.

[0095] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, S20 may specifically include S21 to S22.

[0096] S21, acquire the target brightness values ​​corresponding to the multiple first target gamma voltage values ​​respectively;

[0097] S22, take the first target gamma voltage value corresponding to the target brightness value that is equal to the brightness value to be displayed as the second target gamma voltage value corresponding to the brightness value to be displayed;

[0098] Alternatively, if multiple target brightness values ​​are not equal to the brightness value to be displayed, the second target gamma voltage value corresponding to the brightness value to be displayed is determined based on the first target gamma voltage value corresponding to the two target brightness values ​​adjacent to the brightness value to be displayed, and based on linear interpolation.

[0099] In this embodiment, within a target brightness level, multiple target brightness values ​​correspond one-to-one with multiple first target gamma voltage values. Specifically, the mapping method is as follows: if one of the multiple target brightness values ​​is equal to the brightness value to be displayed, then the first target gamma voltage value corresponding to that target brightness value can be directly used as the second target gamma voltage value corresponding to the brightness value to be displayed. If none of the multiple target brightness values ​​are equal to the brightness value to be displayed, two target brightness values ​​adjacent to the brightness value to be displayed are selected, and further, based on linear interpolation, the second target gamma voltage value corresponding to the brightness value to be displayed can be determined. In this way, the mapped second target gamma voltage value is relatively accurate.

[0100] For example, the target brightness value range under target brightness level L1 is 0 to 200 nits. For instance, some target brightness values ​​under target brightness level L1 can be selected for gamma adjustment. For example, target brightness values ​​of 0 nit, 40 nit, 80 nit, 120 nit, 160 nit, and 200 nit can be selected for gamma adjustment, and the first target register values ​​corresponding to the target brightness values ​​of 0 nit, 40 nit, 80 nit, 120 nit, 160 nit, and 200 nit can be obtained respectively.

[0101] If the brightness value to be displayed in the low brightness level range is, for example, 40 nit, and there is a target brightness value of 40 nit under the target brightness level L1, then the first target register value corresponding to 40 nit under the target brightness level L1 can be used as the second target register value.

[0102] If the brightness value to be displayed LV1 is, for example, 100 nits, since there is a target brightness value of 100 nits under the target brightness level L1, the second target register value can be determined based on the first target register values ​​corresponding to 80 nits and 120 nits under the target brightness level L1, and based on the linear interpolation method.

[0103] As described above, gamma adjustment of the display panel can be performed only at the high brightness level, and the target gamma voltage value at the low brightness level can be mapped from the target gamma voltage value at the high brightness level.

[0104] In some embodiments, to improve the accuracy of the mapped second target gamma voltage value, when the first brightness level range includes multiple brightness levels, the difference between the maximum brightness value of the target brightness level and the maximum brightness value of the second brightness level range can be minimized among the multiple brightness levels within the first brightness level range. That is, the brightness level in the first brightness level range that is closest to the second brightness level range can be used as the target brightness level. Taking the example that the first brightness level range includes brightness levels HBM to L1, and the second brightness level range includes brightness levels L2 to Ln, brightness level L1 can be used as the target brightness level.

[0105] In other embodiments, the first brightness level range may include only the target brightness level. That is, the first brightness level range includes only one brightness level. Since gamma adjustment of the display panel is required within the first brightness level range, the fewer brightness levels included in the first brightness level range, the more efficient the gamma adjustment will be.

[0106] Next, let's introduce the S30.

[0107] The display panel sub-pixels can be driven by the second target gamma register value, gamma voltage value, and initial cathode voltage value. Then, the image displayed on the display panel can be photographed, and the actual display parameters of the display panel can be obtained based on the photographed image.

[0108] Actual display parameters may include at least one of actual display brightness and actual color coordinates. For example, actual display parameters may include actual display brightness and actual color coordinates; correspondingly, target display parameters may include target display brightness and target color coordinates. It is understood that the target display brightness is equal to the brightness value to be displayed.

[0109] For example, the initial cathode voltage values ​​for different emitting colors can be equal. The cathode voltage value of the display panel in the first brightness level range can be the initial cathode voltage value.

[0110] Next, let's introduce the S40.

[0111] If the actual displayed parameters differ significantly from the target displayed parameters, the actual displayed parameters are considered not to meet the target displayed parameters. If the difference between the actual displayed parameters and the target displayed parameters is small or the same, the actual displayed parameters are considered to meet the target displayed parameters.

[0112] If the actual display parameters do not match the target display parameters, the initial cathode voltage value can be increased or decreased to obtain the target cathode voltage value.

[0113] Since the second brightness level range can include multiple brightness values, if the initial cathode voltage value is adjusted for each brightness value within the second brightness level range, the required adjustment time will be relatively long.

[0114] For example, n brightness values ​​can be selected from multiple brightness values ​​within the second brightness level range as the brightness values ​​to be displayed, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 2. It is understood that the n brightness values ​​to be displayed are different.

[0115] For example, n equals 3, and the three brightness values ​​to be displayed are Lv1, Lv2, and Lv3. The target cathode voltage values ​​corresponding to the brightness values ​​Lv1, Lv2, and Lv3 can be obtained according to the methods described in S10 to S40.

[0116] The display panel includes R sub-pixels, G sub-pixels, and B sub-pixels. The target cathode voltage value corresponding to any brightness value to be displayed can include the target cathode voltage values ​​corresponding to the R sub-pixels, G sub-pixels, and B sub-pixels, respectively.

[0117] For any color sub-pixel, the target cathode voltage value can be determined using the methods described in embodiments S10 to S40 of this application.

[0118] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, after S40, the method for obtaining the driving parameters of the display panel provided in this application embodiment may further include S50.

[0119] S50, based on the initial cathode voltage value and n target cathode voltage values, fits a cathode voltage compensation function, which includes a function of the target cathode voltage value with respect to the brightness value to be displayed.

[0120] According to the embodiments of this application, the cathode voltage value can be adjusted only at a portion of the brightness values ​​in the second brightness level range. The target cathode voltage value at other brightness values ​​that have not been actually adjusted can be determined based on the fitted cathode voltage compensation function. This can shorten the adjustment time and improve the adjustment efficiency.

[0121] For example, n can be greater than or equal to 3, and the cathode voltage compensation function can include the target cathode voltage value as a function of degree m with respect to the brightness value to be displayed, where m is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0122] For example, n=3, m=2,

[0123] When the display panel includes sub-pixels of multiple colors, the cathode voltage compensation function corresponding to each sub-pixel of multiple colors can be fitted separately.

[0124] For example, the cathode voltage compensation function for the R sub-pixel is Equation (1), the cathode voltage compensation function for the G sub-pixel is Equation (2), and the cathode voltage compensation function for the B sub-pixel is Equation (3):

[0125] Yr=a*x1 2 +b*x1+c(1)

[0126] Yg=k*x2 2 +m*x²+n(2)

[0127] Yb=f*x3 2 +h*x3+i(3)

[0128] In the above formula, Yr, Yg, and Yb represent the target cathode voltage values ​​of the R sub-pixel, G sub-pixel, and B sub-pixel, respectively, and x1, x2, and x3 represent the brightness values ​​to be displayed.

[0129] For example, the target cathode voltage values ​​corresponding to the R sub-pixel, G sub-pixel, and B sub-pixel under the brightness value Lv1 to be displayed can be Vr1, Vg1, and Vb1, respectively; the target cathode voltage values ​​corresponding to the R sub-pixel, G sub-pixel, and B sub-pixel under the brightness value Lv2 to be displayed can be Vr2, Vg2, and Vb2, respectively; and the target cathode voltage values ​​corresponding to the R sub-pixel, G sub-pixel, and B sub-pixel under the brightness value Lv3 to be displayed can be Vr3, Vg3, and Vb3, respectively.

[0130] The target cathode voltage value Vr1 can be substituted into Yr in the above equation (1), and the brightness value to be displayed Lv1 can be substituted into x1 in the above equation (1) to obtain the first equation; the target cathode voltage value Vr2 can be substituted into Yr in the above equation (1), and the brightness value to be displayed Lv2 can be substituted into x1 in the above equation (1) to obtain the second equation; the target cathode voltage value Vr3 can be substituted into Yr in the above equation (1), and the brightness value to be displayed Lv3 can be substituted into x1 in the above equation (1) to obtain the third equation; then, based on the three equations obtained, the values ​​of coefficients a / b / c can be calculated.

[0131] Similarly, the values ​​of the brightness to be displayed Lv1, Lv2, Lv3 and the target cathode voltage values ​​Vg1, Vg2, Vg3 corresponding to the G sub-pixel can be substituted into equation (2) above to calculate the value of the coefficient k / m / n. The values ​​of the brightness to be displayed Lv1, Lv2, Lv3 and the target cathode voltage values ​​Vb1, Vb2, Vb3 corresponding to the B sub-pixel can be substituted into equation (3) above to calculate the value of the coefficient f / h / i.

[0132] Understandably, the more brightness values ​​to be displayed, the better the fitted cathode voltage compensation function will match the brightness curve of each luminous color sub-pixel.

[0133] In some embodiments, after S50, the method provided in this application embodiment may further include: obtaining other target cathode voltage values ​​corresponding to other brightness values ​​to be displayed in the second brightness level range based on the cathode voltage compensation function (other target cathode voltage values ​​do not include the target cathode voltage values ​​obtained by the above-mentioned debugging among the target cathode voltage values). For example, any brightness value to be displayed in the second brightness level range can be substituted into the cathode voltage compensation function to calculate the target cathode voltage value corresponding to the brightness value to be displayed.

[0134] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, after S50, the method for obtaining the driving parameters of the display panel provided in this application embodiment may further include S60.

[0135] S60 stores the cathode voltage compensation function to the corresponding storage module of the display panel.

[0136] The embodiments of this application can reduce storage space compared to directly storing the compensation value of the cathode voltage or directly storing the target cathode voltage value under each brightness value to be displayed.

[0137] Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of this application also provide a display driving method for a display panel. The display driving method for a display panel provided in this application is used to drive the display panel to display. The display panel may include sub-pixels with different emitting colors, and the cathodes of the sub-pixels with different emitting colors are disconnected from each other.

[0138] For at least one sub-pixel of a luminous color in the display panel, such as Figure 6 As shown, the display driving method for the display panel provided in this application embodiment may include S61 to S64.

[0139] S61, obtain multiple first target gamma voltage values ​​corresponding to multiple target brightness values ​​within the target brightness level, and the cathode voltage compensation function of the sub-pixel. The cathode voltage compensation function includes a function of the target cathode voltage value with respect to the brightness value to be displayed. The target brightness level is in the first brightness level range, and the brightness value to be displayed is within the brightness range of the second brightness level range. The maximum brightness value of the second brightness level range is less than the maximum brightness value of the first brightness level range.

[0140] S62, determine the second target gamma voltage value corresponding to the brightness value to be displayed based on multiple first target gamma voltage values;

[0141] S63, determine the target cathode voltage value corresponding to the brightness value to be displayed based on the cathode voltage compensation function;

[0142] S64, drives the display panel to display the image at the brightness value to be displayed using the second target gamma voltage value and the target cathode voltage value.

[0143] The specific implementation methods of the above steps will be described in detail below.

[0144] According to the display driving method for the display panel provided in the embodiments of this application, a second target gamma voltage value corresponding to the brightness value to be displayed is obtained based on a first target gamma voltage value corresponding to the target brightness level, and a target cathode voltage value corresponding to the brightness value to be displayed is determined based on a cathode voltage compensation function. In this way, on the basis of full DC dimming mode, further compensation can be made for the sub-cathode voltage under low brightness, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel under low brightness.

[0145] The structure of the display panel can be as described in the embodiments of the above-described method for obtaining the driving parameters of the display panel, and will not be repeated here.

[0146] First, let's introduce the S61.

[0147] When the display panel includes a red-emitting R sub-pixel, a green-emitting G sub-pixel, and a blue-emitting B sub-pixel, the cathode voltage compensation function obtained by S61 may include the cathode voltage compensation functions corresponding to the R sub-pixel, G sub-pixel, and B sub-pixel, respectively.

[0148] The target brightness level, target brightness value, first target gamma voltage value, brightness value to be displayed, first brightness level range, second brightness level range, etc. involved in the display driving method of the display panel provided in this application embodiment can be described as described in the above embodiment of the display panel driving parameter acquisition method, and will not be repeated here.

[0149] In S62, the second target gamma voltage value can be determined in accordance with the methods of S21 and S22 described in the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0150] In S63, for example, to determine the target cathode voltage value corresponding to the brightness value Lv4 to be displayed for the R sub-pixel, Lv4 can be substituted into x1 in the above formula (1). For example, the value of Yr can be calculated as Vr4, then the target cathode voltage value corresponding to the brightness value Lv4 to be displayed for the R sub-pixel is Vr4.

[0151] In S64, a data voltage can be generated based on the second target gamma voltage value and the generated data voltage can be provided to the display panel. In addition, a target cathode voltage value is provided to the cathode of the display panel to drive the display panel to display the image at the brightness value to be displayed.

[0152] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a device for obtaining driving parameters of a display panel. The display panel includes sub-pixels with different emitting colors, and the cathodes of the sub-pixels with different emitting colors are disconnected from each other.

[0153] like Figure 7 As shown, the display panel driving parameter acquisition device 700 provided in this application embodiment may include a first data acquisition module 701, a first mapping module 702, a display enable module 703, and a voltage adjustment module 704.

[0154] For a sub-pixel of at least one luminous color in the display panel, the first data acquisition module 701, the first mapping module 702, the display enable module 703, and the voltage adjustment module 704 can perform the following functions.

[0155] The first data acquisition module 701 is used to acquire multiple first target gamma voltage values ​​corresponding to multiple target brightness values ​​within the target brightness level, wherein the gamma voltage values ​​are within the first brightness level range.

[0156] The first mapping module 702 is used to determine the second target gamma voltage value corresponding to the brightness value to be displayed based on multiple first target gamma voltage values. The brightness value to be displayed is within the brightness range of the second brightness level range, and the maximum brightness value of the second brightness level range is less than the maximum brightness value of the first brightness level range.

[0157] The display enable module 703 is used to drive the display panel to display with the second target gamma voltage value and the initial cathode voltage value, and to obtain the actual display parameters of the display panel.

[0158] The voltage adjustment module 704 is used to adjust the initial cathode voltage value if the actual display parameters do not conform to the target display parameters, so that the actual display parameters of the display panel based on the adjusted cathode voltage value conform to the target display parameters, and obtain the target cathode voltage value corresponding to the brightness value to be displayed.

[0159] According to the display panel driving parameter acquisition device provided in the embodiments of this application, firstly, a second target gamma voltage value corresponding to the brightness value to be displayed is obtained based on a first target gamma voltage value corresponding to the target brightness level. Then, if the actual display parameters of the display panel based on the second target gamma voltage value and the initial cathode voltage value do not conform to the target display parameters, the initial cathode voltage value is further adjusted to obtain the target cathode voltage value, so that the actual display parameters of the display panel based on the second target gamma voltage value and the target cathode voltage value conform to the target display parameters. In this way, on the basis of full DC dimming mode, the cathode voltage of the sub-pixels can be further compensated at low brightness, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel at low brightness.

[0160] In some optional embodiments, the second brightness level range includes n brightness values ​​to be displayed, and the target cathode voltage value includes n target cathode voltage values ​​that correspond one-to-one with the n brightness values ​​to be displayed. The n brightness values ​​to be displayed are different, and n is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0163] In some optional embodiments, the function fitting module can also be used to: obtain the target cathode voltage value corresponding to the brightness value to be displayed in the second brightness level range based on the cathode voltage compensation function.

[0164] Preferably, n is greater than or equal to 3, and the cathode voltage compensation function includes the target cathode voltage value as a function of degree m with respect to the brightness value to be displayed, where m is an integer greater than or equal to 2.

[0171] The first target gamma voltage value, which is equal to the target brightness value to be displayed, is used as the second target gamma voltage value corresponding to the brightness value to be displayed.

[0172] Alternatively, if multiple target brightness values ​​are not equal to the brightness value to be displayed, the second target gamma voltage value corresponding to the brightness value to be displayed is determined based on the first target gamma voltage value corresponding to the two target brightness values ​​adjacent to the brightness value to be displayed, and based on linear interpolation.

[0173] In some optional embodiments, the first brightness level range includes multiple brightness levels, and among the multiple brightness levels in the first brightness level range, the difference between the maximum brightness value of the target brightness level and the maximum brightness value of the second brightness level range is the smallest.

[0174] Alternatively, the first brightness level range may only include the target brightness level.

[0175] Preferably, the second brightness level range includes at least one brightness level, and the maximum brightness value of any brightness level in the second brightness level range is less than the maximum brightness value of any brightness level in the first brightness level range.

[0176] It should be noted that the driving parameter acquisition method for the display panel provided in this application embodiment can be executed by a driving parameter acquisition device for the display panel, or by a control module within that driving parameter acquisition device for executing the driving parameter acquisition method for the display panel. This application embodiment uses the driving parameter acquisition device for the display panel executing the driving parameter acquisition method for the display panel as an example to illustrate the driving parameter acquisition device for the display panel provided in this application embodiment.

This device can be a mobile electronic device or a non-mobile electronic device. For example, mobile electronic devices can be mobile phones, tablets, laptops, PDAs, in-vehicle electronic devices, wearable devices, ultra-mobile personal computers (UMPCs), netbooks, or personal digital assistants (PDAs), etc., while non-mobile electronic devices can be servers, network-attached storage (NAS), personal computers (PCs), televisions (TVs), ATMs, or self-service machines, etc. This application embodiment does not impose specific limitations.

[0179] Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of this application also provide a driving chip for driving a display panel.

[0182] The second data acquisition module 801 is used to acquire multiple first target gamma voltage values ​​corresponding to multiple target brightness values ​​within the target brightness level, and a cathode voltage compensation function.
