Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0058] An LCD typically includes: a display panel, a backlight module for providing backlight to the display panel, and a control unit for controlling the backlight module to emit light. The backlight module can be divided into multiple backlight zones, and the display panel can be divided into display zones corresponding to the backlight zones. The control unit can control the backlight zone corresponding to each display zone to emit light based on the brightness of the sub-pixels in that display zone, thereby providing backlight to that display zone.

[0059] However, large-sized LCDs are easily affected by ambient light, which can cause localized projection and reflection, resulting in poor display quality.

[0060] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0061] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the backlight brightness control method of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the backlight brightness control method of the display device in this embodiment may specifically include steps 101 to 103.

[0062] Step 101: Obtain the characteristic brightness of the display partition to be controlled and the actual brightness of the display partition to be controlled in the current environment among multiple display partitions;

[0063] In a specific implementation, the display device can be set to a preset environment and display corresponding images based on different set display control parameters. This allows the determination of the brightness of each display zone corresponding to each display control parameter under the preset environment. This brightness is defined as the characteristic brightness, and each display control parameter and its corresponding characteristic brightness are associated to construct a characteristic brightness relational library. The display control parameters can include the number of sub-pixels enabled and the backlight brightness of the sub-pixels in each display zone under the preset environment. The number of enabled sub-pixels in each display zone can be obtained by parsing the video data stream of each display zone, and the backlight brightness of the sub-pixels in each display zone can be obtained by parsing the backlight control data of each display zone. The preset environment is a dark environment, which minimizes the influence of ambient light, ensuring that each display zone is only related to changes in its own material brightness characteristics, thus obtaining a more accurate characteristic brightness.

[0064] In a specific implementation, when the display device is placed in the current environment for actual display, it can acquire the current video data stream and the current backlight control data of the display partition to be controlled in the current environment, and determine the characteristic brightness of the display partition to be controlled based on the current video data stream and the current backlight control data.

[0065] Specifically, the characteristic brightness of the display zone to be controlled can be determined by following these steps:

[0066] a. Determine the current number of enabled sub-pixels in the display partition to be controlled based on the current video data stream;

[0067] In a specific implementation, pixel data for each frame can be read from the current video data stream of the controllable display partition of the input display panel, and then the number of sub-pixels to be enabled can be determined for each frame of pixel data.

[0068] b. Determine the current backlight brightness of the display zone to be controlled based on the current backlight control data;

[0069] In a specific implementation process, when the display device is placed in the current environment for actual display, it sends relevant backlight control data to the display module. This backlight control data usually includes information such as the backlight brightness value and zone coordinates of each display zone. Therefore, the current backlight brightness of the display zone to be controlled can be parsed from the current backlight control data.

[0070] c. Determine the characteristic brightness of the display zone based on the current number of activated sub-pixels, the current backlight brightness, and a preset characteristic brightness relationship library;

[0071] After obtaining the current number of sub-pixels turned on and the current backlight brightness, it can be matched with a preset feature brightness relationship library. Based on the relationship between the number of sub-pixels turned on in the display partition to be controlled under the preset environment, the backlight brightness of the display partition to be controlled under the preset environment, and the feature brightness of the display partition to be controlled under the preset environment, the feature brightness relationship library can determine the feature brightness of the display partition to be controlled.

[0072] The specific presentation form of the feature brightness relationship library can be a straight line, curve, or table formed by the number of sub-pixels turned on in the display partition to be controlled under the preset environment, the backlight brightness of the display partition to be controlled under the preset environment, and the feature brightness of the display partition to be controlled under the preset environment. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations.

[0073] Figure 2 It is a specific representation of a feature brightness relational library. Figure 2 The following explanation uses a straight line formed by the number of sub-pixels turned on in the controllable display partition under a preset environment, the backlight brightness of the controllable display partition under a preset environment, and the characteristic brightness of the controllable display partition under a preset environment as an example. Figure 2 The horizontal axis represents the backlight brightness, the vertical axis represents the number of sub-pixels that are turned on, and the straight line represents the feature brightness determined by both the backlight brightness and the number of sub-pixels that are turned on.

[0074] In one specific implementation, a brightness detection device can be set on the surface of the display panel away from the touch module. The brightness detection device detects the brightness signal of each display zone. In this way, after receiving the brightness signal detected by the brightness detection device in the display zone to be controlled, the actual brightness of the display zone to be controlled can be determined based on the brightness signal.

[0075] Specifically, the brightness detection device can be a photoresistor material layer laid on each of the display zones; or, the brightness detection device can be a photoresistor device separately set on each display zone. The brightness signal detected by the brightness detection device can be a resistance value signal. Upon receiving the resistance value signal, the brightness corresponding to that resistance value signal can be obtained based on the correlation between the resistance value and the brightness.

[0076] Step 102: Determine the difference between the actual brightness of the display zone to be controlled and the characteristic brightness of the display zone to be controlled;

[0077] In a specific implementation process, when the display device moves from one environment to another, the brightness change of each display zone is usually not very different. Therefore, the brightness change of each display zone can be used as the basis for whether it is affected by the light of the current environment. In this way, the actual brightness of the display zone to be controlled can be compared with the characteristic brightness of the display zone to be controlled, and the difference between the two can be obtained, thereby obtaining the brightness change of the display zone to be controlled.

[0078] Step 103: Based on the feedback signal obtained by comparing the difference with the preset threshold corresponding to the display partition to be controlled in the current environment, send a first control command to the backlight module so that the backlight module controls the brightness of the backlight partition corresponding to the display partition to be controlled.

[0079] In a specific implementation, threshold values ​​for allowable brightness changes can be set for different environments. The higher the brightness of the environment, the larger the allowable brightness change threshold; conversely, the lower the brightness of the environment, the smaller the allowable brightness change threshold. The comparison result between the difference between the actual brightness of the display partition to be controlled and the characteristic brightness of the display partition to be controlled, and the preset threshold value corresponding to the display partition to be controlled in the current environment, can be obtained in the following two ways:

[0080] The first method involves retrieving a preset threshold value corresponding to the display zone to be controlled under the current environment from the storage medium. This preset threshold value is then compared with the difference between the actual brightness of the display zone and its characteristic brightness, yielding a feedback signal for the comparison result. In other words, a corresponding program can be set up to calculate the difference between the preset threshold and the value using software, and generate a corresponding feedback signal. This allows for quantitative adjustments to the backlight zone brightness in subsequent adjustments.

[0081] The second method involves setting up a comparator, inputting the difference between the actual brightness of the display partition to be controlled and the characteristic brightness of the display partition to be controlled into the first input terminal of the comparator, and inputting the preset threshold corresponding to the display partition to be controlled into the second input terminal of the comparator. After comparing the two using the comparator, the feedback signal corresponding to the comparison result is output for feedback until the difference between the two is less than the preset threshold.

[0082] After receiving the feedback signal, a first control command can be sent to the backlight module based on the feedback signal, so that the backlight module controls the brightness of the backlight zone corresponding to the display zone to be controlled.

[0083] Specifically, when the feedback signal indicates that the difference between the actual brightness of the display partition to be controlled and the characteristic brightness of the display partition to be controlled is greater than the preset threshold corresponding to the display partition to be controlled, it means that the display partition to be controlled is greatly affected by the ambient light in the current environment. In this case, a first control command can be generated and sent to the backlight module. In this way, the backlight module can control the brightness of the backlight partition corresponding to the display partition to be controlled, thereby adjusting the brightness of the display partition to be controlled.

[0084] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the principle of using a comparator to control backlight brightness, such as... Figure 3 As shown, after the photoresistor material layer senses the light of each display zone, the resistance of the photoresistor material corresponding to each display zone changes, and the resistance value rn corresponding to each display zone can be obtained. Then, the resistance value corresponding to each display zone is converted into a voltage value as the actual brightness LAn corresponding to each display zone. Then, the difference ΔLAn between the actual brightness LAn and the corresponding characteristic brightness of each display zone is calculated and sequentially input into the first input terminal of the comparator. After the comparator compares ΔLAn with a preset threshold, it feeds back the feedback signal corresponding to the comparison result so as to send a first control command to the backlight module, so that the backlight module controls the brightness of the backlight zone corresponding to the display zone to be controlled. Then, the photoresistor material layer further feeds back the actual brightness LAn corresponding to each display zone. Finally, all ΔLAn are less than the preset threshold.

[0085] The backlight brightness control method of the display device in this embodiment obtains the characteristic brightness of the display partition to be controlled and the actual brightness of the display partition to be controlled under the current environment among multiple display partitions, and sends a first control command to the backlight module based on the feedback signal obtained by the difference between the two and the preset threshold corresponding to the display partition to be controlled under the current environment. This enables the backlight module to control the brightness of the backlight partition corresponding to the display partition to be controlled. In this way, adjustments can be made according to the degree and situation of the influence of ambient light on different display partitions, so that the brightness of all display partitions is not affected by the external environment, thereby improving the display effect.

[0086] In a specific implementation, the influence of ambient light may be temporary. Therefore, after sending a first control command to the backlight module to control the brightness of the backlight zone corresponding to the display zone to be controlled, a detection signal can be received to characterize whether the brightness interference of the display zone to be controlled has been eliminated. If the detection signal indicates that the interference has been eliminated, a second control command is sent to the backlight module to restore the brightness of the backlight zone corresponding to the display zone to be controlled.

[0087] In a specific implementation, if the interference is not eliminated, the actual brightness of the display area to be controlled will still be determined by the ambient light and the brightness of the backlight area corresponding to the display area to be controlled, and the actual brightness of the display area to be controlled will not change significantly. However, if the interference is eliminated, the actual brightness of the display area to be controlled will be determined by the brightness of the backlight area corresponding to the display area to be controlled, and the actual brightness of the display area to be controlled will change significantly. Therefore, if the change value of the actual brightness of the display area to be controlled corresponding to the detection signal is within a preset range, the detection signal indicates that the interference has not been eliminated, and the brightness of the backlight area corresponding to the display area to be controlled can be maintained. If the change value of the actual brightness of the display area to be controlled is outside the preset range, the detection signal indicates that the interference has been eliminated, and a second control command is sent to the backlight module to restore the brightness of the backlight area corresponding to the display area to be controlled.

[0088] Furthermore, the present invention also provides a control unit for backlight brightness.

[0089] See appendix Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a main structural block diagram of a backlight brightness control unit according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 As shown, the backlight brightness control unit in this embodiment may include a processor 41 and a memory 42.

[0092] In a specific implementation, there can be multiple memories 42 and processors 41. The program executing the backlight brightness control method of the above method embodiment can be divided into multiple subroutines. Each subroutine can be loaded and run by the processor 41 to execute different steps of the backlight brightness control method of the above method embodiment. Specifically, each subroutine can be stored in a different memory 42, and each processor 41 can be configured to execute programs in one or more memories 42 to jointly implement the backlight brightness control method of the above method embodiment. That is, each processor 41 executes different steps of the backlight brightness control method of the above method embodiment to jointly implement the backlight brightness control method of the above method embodiment.

[0093] The aforementioned multiple processors 41 can be processors deployed on the same device. For example, the device can be a high-performance device composed of multiple processors, and the multiple processors 41 can be processors configured on that high-performance device. Alternatively, the aforementioned multiple processors 41 can also be processors deployed on different devices. For example, the device can be a server cluster, and the multiple processors 41 can be processors on different servers within the server cluster.

[0094] Furthermore, this application also provides a computer-readable storage medium.

The brightness detection device can be a photoresistive material layer, deposited on each of the display zones, and led out from the display area of ​​the display panel to the edge of the visible area of ​​the display panel via traces, and then led to the control unit via an MFPC.

[0096] Figure 5 This is a planar schematic diagram of a display panel with a layer of photoresistive material laid on it. For example... Figure 5As shown, the surrounding black area can be the edge of the visible area of ​​the display panel, and the rest is the display area of ​​the display panel. The photoresistor material layer is represented by the equivalent resistance in each display partition (only part of the equivalent resistance is shown in the figure).

[0097] In one specific implementation, the display device further includes a comparator.
