[0048] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0049] Liquid crystal display is a non-active light-emitting electronic device that does not have the property of emitting light itself and needs to rely on a backlight unit (BLU) to provide light. The backlight unit provides the necessary light source so that the liquid crystal layer in the liquid crystal display (LCD) can adjust the transmittance of light to display images.

[0050] For example, the backlight unit may include an active matrix (AM) driver and a light-emitting unit, and the light-emitting unit may include one or more sub-millimeter light-emitting diodes (Mini Light Emitting Diode, Mini-LED). The backlight unit controls the brightness of each sub-millimeter light-emitting diode through the active matrix driver, and can achieve local dimming (Local Dimming), dynamically adjusting the backlight brightness of different areas according to the image content, thereby improving contrast and color performance. Among them, sub-millimeter light-emitting diodes are a type of light-emitting diode between traditional light-emitting diodes and micro light-emitting diodes (Micro Light Emitting Diode, Micro-LED), usually with a size between 100 microns and 200 microns. Sub-millimeter light-emitting diodes can be used as backlight sources to provide higher brightness and finer regional dimming.

[0051] Specifically, the active matrix (AM) drive uses a thin film transistor (TFT) to control the switching state of each pixel. Each pixel has an independent thin film transistor that can quickly respond and control the brightness of the sub-millimeter light-emitting diode.

[0052] In some embodiments, the brightness of the LED can be controlled by controlling the current. The brightness of the LED is controlled by adjusting the driving current of the LED. The brightness of the LED is proportional to the driving current of the LED. The larger the driving current of the LED, the higher the brightness of the LED. The smaller the driving current of the LED, the lower the brightness of the LED.

[0053] However, if multi-level grayscale brightness is achieved only by controlling current, a multi-bit register is required to achieve current control. For example, using a 6-bit register to control current can achieve 64 levels of grayscale brightness, and using an 8-bit register to control current can achieve 256 levels of grayscale brightness.

[0054] Therefore, when the maximum brightness is the same, more bits are required to achieve more brightness levels.

[0055] The circuit corresponding to each bit register needs to match the corresponding number of electronic devices, such as transistors (MOS), etc. Each electronic device needs to occupy a corresponding unit area in the circuit. As the number of bits increases, the area of ​​the corresponding circuit will also increase exponentially. Therefore, multi-bit registers need to occupy a larger circuit area.

[0056] However, due to the characteristics of the backlight unit, as the number of backlight unit partitions increases, each partition requires more precise light source control, which is usually achieved by reducing the spacing between light-emitting diodes. As the spacing between light-emitting diodes decreases, the density of light-emitting diodes increases, which requires more driving circuits. If current control requires a larger circuit area, it may affect the driving effect of the light-emitting diodes.

[0057] In other embodiments, the brightness of the light-emitting diode can be controlled by pulse width modulation (PWM), which is to control the brightness of the light-emitting diode by adjusting the ratio of the on-off time (duty cycle) of the light-emitting diode. The duty cycle refers to the ratio of the power-on time to the total time in a pulse cycle. The higher the duty cycle, the higher the average brightness of the light-emitting diode, and the lower the duty cycle, the lower the average brightness of the light-emitting diode.

[0058] However, in the pulse width modulation method, there will be a period of time when the light emitting diode is turned off. As the off time increases, a flicker problem may occur, and the longer the light emitting diode is turned off, the more serious the flicker phenomenon is.

[0059] To this end, the present application proposes a brightness adjustment method for a light-emitting unit, which determines that the light-emitting unit has different currents at different time periods within a target cycle, avoids the light-emitting unit from being extinguished, and solves the flicker problem.

[0060] The technical solution of the present application is described in detail with specific embodiments below. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.

[0061] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for adjusting the brightness of a light emitting unit provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, with the electronic device as the execution subject, the method of this embodiment may include the following steps:

[0062] S101, obtaining a set current and a duty cycle of a target period, calculating a target current according to the set current and the duty cycle, and determining a target brightness corresponding to the light-emitting unit according to the target current.

[0063] It should be noted that the target period can be a period corresponding to any frame of the picture, and one period corresponds to the display time of one frame of the picture.

[0064] The duty cycle refers to the proportion of the signal being high level in one cycle, and the duty cycle usually ranges from 0% to 100%. The higher the duty cycle, the longer the light-emitting unit is lit in one cycle, and the higher the average brightness; the lower the duty cycle, the shorter the light-emitting unit is lit in one cycle, and the lower the average brightness.

[0065] For example, the product of the set current of the target period and the duty cycle of the target period is calculated to obtain the target current of the target period. In the embodiment of the present application, after obtaining the target current, the target brightness corresponding to the light-emitting unit can also be determined according to the target current. The target brightness can be understood as the average brightness of the light-emitting unit in the target period, that is, the luminous brightness of the light-emitting unit when the picture is displayed normally.

[0066] For example, the corresponding relationship between the current and the brightness can be preset, and the target brightness can be determined according to the target current, or the target current can be determined according to the target brightness.

[0067] In some embodiments, the number of target cycles can be multiple, each target cycle has its own corresponding initial duty cycle, and the initial duty cycles of at least some target cycles are different, so the light-emitting unit has different target brightness in at least some target cycles, so that different pictures have corresponding display brightness.

[0068] For example, the target current of each target cycle can be determined according to the set current and the initial duty cycle of each target cycle, and the target brightness of each target cycle can be determined according to the target current of each target cycle. It should be noted that the set current of each target cycle is the same.

[0069] For example, Figure 2As shown, the number of target cycles is four, which are respectively recorded as the first cycle, the second cycle, the third cycle and the fourth cycle. The duty cycle of the first cycle is 70%, and the target current of the first cycle is 70% of the set current; the duty cycle of the second cycle is 90%, and the target current of the second cycle is 90% of the set current; the duty cycle of the third cycle is 30%, and the target current of the third cycle is 30% of the set current; the duty cycle of the fourth cycle is 40%, and the target current of the fourth cycle is 30% of the set current.

[0070] S102: In a first time period of a target cycle, determine that a driving current of a light-emitting unit is a first current, and a first brightness of the light-emitting unit corresponding to the first time period.

[0071] It should be noted that the first and second time periods of the target cycle are determined to facilitate the subsequent application of different currents in different time periods to avoid the light-emitting unit being extinguished. The first and second time periods of the target cycle can be determined according to actual conditions.

[0072] Among them, the first brightness can be understood as the average brightness of the light-emitting unit in the first time period. In some embodiments, a target duty cycle is set, and the time period corresponding to the target duty cycle is the first time period. In the first time period of the target cycle, the first current is determined according to the set current and the target duty cycle, so that a larger first current can be determined based on a smaller set current by adjusting the target duty cycle. In this way, in multiple target cycles, the first current of each cycle can be determined based on a smaller set current, and multi-level brightness control can be achieved without increasing the area of ​​the control circuit, thereby improving control efficiency.

[0073] It should be noted that if the current is set as an analog signal and the target duty cycle is a digital signal, different first currents can be output by adjusting the digital signal under a certain analog signal, and multi-level brightness control can be achieved without increasing the area of ​​the control circuit.

[0074] For example, the target duty cycle may be an initial duty cycle, or the target duty cycle may be slightly smaller than the initial duty cycle, or slightly larger than the initial duty cycle.

[0075] As an implementation manner, for the convenience of calculation, the target duty cycle may be set to 50%, and the first period of the target cycle is half of the target cycle.

[0076] S103 . Determine, in a second time period of the target cycle, that the driving current of the light-emitting unit is a second current, and that the light-emitting unit has a second brightness corresponding to the second time period.

[0077] The second brightness can be understood as the average brightness of the light-emitting unit in the second time period.

[0078] In some embodiments, the total brightness of the light-emitting unit in the target period can be determined according to the target current and the duration of the target period, and the total brightness of the light-emitting unit in the first period can be determined according to the first brightness and the duration of the first period of the target period. Then, the total brightness of the target period is subtracted from the total brightness of the first period to obtain the total brightness of the second period of the target period, and the total brightness of the second period of the target period is subtracted from the total brightness of the second period to obtain the total brightness of the second period. Subsequently, the second brightness can be obtained according to the total brightness of the second period and the duration of the second period, and the driving current of the light-emitting unit in the second period is determined to be the second current according to the second brightness, so that after determining the current and brightness of the first period, the current and brightness of the second period can be determined according to the current and brightness of the first period.

[0079] For example, the product of the target current and the duration of the target cycle can be calculated to obtain the total brightness of the light-emitting unit in the target cycle; the product of the first brightness and the duration of the first period of the target cycle can be calculated to obtain the total brightness of the light-emitting unit in the first period; the total brightness of the target cycle minus the total brightness of the first period can be obtained to obtain the total brightness of the light-emitting unit in the second period of the target cycle; the total brightness of the second period is divided by the duration of the second period to obtain the second brightness; according to the corresponding relationship between brightness and current, the driving current of the light-emitting unit in the second period is determined to be the second current. In this way, it can be ensured that the average brightness of the light-emitting unit in the target cycle under the control of the first current and the second current is the target brightness, and the normal operation of the light-emitting unit is ensured.

[0080] In some embodiments, the number of target cycles is multiple, such as Figure 3 As shown, each target cycle has a corresponding first time period and a second time period, each first time period has a corresponding first current, and each second time period has a corresponding second current. The average brightness of the light-emitting unit under the control of the first current and the second current corresponding to each target cycle is equal to the target brightness of the corresponding cycle, thereby avoiding flickering problems in each frame.

[0081] In some examples, the first current may be smaller than the target current corresponding to the target brightness, and accordingly, the second current needs to be larger than the target current to ensure that the average brightness of a first brightness corresponding to the first current and a second brightness corresponding to the second current is equal to the target brightness.

[0082] For example, if the initial duty cycle is x%, the target current is x% of the set current; and the first current is y% of the set current; the set target duty cycle is a%, then the first period is a% of the target cycle. The second current of the second period can be calculated based on the above parameters. For ease of description, the set current is marked as A and the target cycle is marked as T. The second current of the second period is: (A×x%×TA×y%×T×a%) / (1-a%)T

[0083] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the number of target cycles is four, the target current of the first cycle is 70% of the set current, denoted as A×70%, the target current of the second cycle is 90% of the set current, denoted as A×90%, the target current of the third cycle is 30% of the set current, denoted as A×30%, and the target current of the fourth cycle is 40% of the set current, denoted as A×40%.

[0084] In the first cycle, the first current of the first time period can be 65% of the set current, recorded as A×65%. If the target duty cycle is 50%, the first time period is half of the target cycle, recorded as T×50%. In order to make the light-emitting unit reach the target brightness under the drive of the first current and the second current, the second current of the second time period can be: (A×70%×TA×65%×T×50%) / T×50%=A×75%. Accordingly, the average brightness of the light-emitting unit driven by the first current and the second current in the first cycle is: A×65%×T×50%+A×75%×T×50%=A×75%×T.

[0085] In the second cycle, the first current of the first period can be 80% of the set current, recorded as A×80%. If the target duty cycle is 50%, the first period is half of the target period, recorded as T×50%. In order to make the light-emitting unit reach the target brightness under the drive of the first current and the second current, the second current of the second period can be: (A×90%×TA×80%×T×50%) / T×50%=A×100%. Accordingly, the average brightness of the light-emitting unit under the drive of the first current and the second current in the second period is: A×80%×T×50%+A×100%×T×50%=A×90%×T.

[0086] In the third cycle, the first current of the first period can be 25% of the set current, recorded as A×25%. If the target duty cycle is 50%, the first period is half of the target period, recorded as T×50%. In order to make the light-emitting unit reach the target brightness under the drive of the first current and the second current, the second current of the second period can be: (A×30%×TA×25%×T×50%) / T×50%=A×45%. Accordingly, the average brightness of the light-emitting unit driven by the first current and the second current in the third period is: A×25%×T×50%+A×45%×T×50%=A×30%×T.

[0087] In the fourth cycle, the first current of the first period can be 30% of the set current. If the target duty cycle is 50%, the first period is half of the target period, recorded as T×50%. In order to make the light-emitting unit reach the target brightness under the drive of the first current and the second current, the second current of the second period can be: (A×40%×TA×30%×T×50%) / T×50%=A×50%. Accordingly, the average brightness of the light-emitting unit driven by the first current and the second current in the fourth period is: A×30%×T×50%+A×50%×T×50%=A×40%×T.

[0088] In other examples, the first current may be greater than the target current corresponding to the target brightness, and accordingly, the second current needs to be less than the target current to ensure that the average brightness of a first brightness corresponding to the first current and a second brightness corresponding to the second current is equal to the target brightness.

[0089] For example, Figure 5 As shown, the number of target cycles is four, the target current of the first cycle is 70% of the set current, denoted as A×70%, the target current of the second cycle is 90% of the set current, denoted as A×90%, the target current of the third cycle is 30% of the set current, denoted as A×30%, and the target current of the fourth cycle is 40% of the set current, denoted as A×40%.

[0090] In the first cycle, the first current of the first time period can be 75% of the set current, recorded as A×75%. If the target duty cycle is 50%, the first time period is half of the target cycle, recorded as T×50%. In order to make the light-emitting unit reach the target brightness under the drive of the first current and the second current, the second current of the second time period can be: (A×70%×TA×75%×T×50%) / T×50%=A×65%. Accordingly, the average brightness of the light-emitting unit driven by the first current and the second current in the first cycle is: A×75%×T×50%+A×65%×T×50%=A×75%×T.

[0091] In the second cycle, the first current of the first period can be 80% of the set current, recorded as A×100%. If the target duty cycle is 50%, the first period is half of the target period, recorded as T×50%. In order to make the light-emitting unit reach the target brightness under the drive of the first current and the second current, the second current of the second period can be: (A×90%×TA×100%×T×50%) / T×50%=A×80%. Accordingly, the average brightness of the light-emitting unit driven by the first current and the second current in the second period is: A×100%×T×50%+A×80%×T×50%=A×90%×T.

[0092] In the third cycle, the first current of the first period can be 25% of the set current, recorded as A×45%. If the target duty cycle is 50%, the first period is half of the target period, recorded as T×50%. In order to make the light-emitting unit reach the target brightness under the drive of the first current and the second current, the second current of the second period can be: (A×30%×TA×45%×T×50%) / T×50%=A×25%. Accordingly, the average brightness of the light-emitting unit under the drive of the first current and the second current in the third period is: A×45%×T×50%+A×25%×T×50%=A×30%×T.

[0093] In the fourth cycle, the first current of the first period can be 50% of the set current. If the target duty cycle is 50%, the first period is half of the target period, recorded as T×50%. In order to make the light-emitting unit reach the target brightness under the drive of the first current and the second current, the second current of the second period can be: (A×40%×TA×50%×T×50%) / T×50%=A×30%. Accordingly, the average brightness of the light-emitting unit driven by the first current and the second current in the fourth period is: A×50%×T×50%+A×30%×T×50%=A×40%×T.

[0094] In some embodiments, the first time period can be divided into at least one first sub-period. In each first sub-period, the driving current of the light-emitting unit is determined to be the first sub-current. According to the first sub-current in each first sub-period, the first sub-brightness corresponding to the light-emitting unit in each first sub-period is determined. The average brightness of each first sub-brightness is equal to the first brightness, so that the brightness of the first time period can be controlled more flexibly.

[0095] In other embodiments, the second time period can be divided into at least one second sub-time period. In each second sub-time period, the driving current of the light-emitting unit is determined to be the second sub-current. According to the second sub-current in each second sub-time period, the second sub-brightness corresponding to the light-emitting unit in each second sub-time period is determined. The average brightness of each second sub-brightness is equal to the second brightness, so that the brightness of the second time period can be controlled more flexibly.

[0096] The brightness adjustment method of the light-emitting unit provided in the present application determines that the driving current of the light-emitting unit is the first current and the first brightness of the light-emitting unit corresponding to the first period in the first period in the target cycle, and determines that the driving current of the light-emitting unit is the second current and the second brightness of the light-emitting unit corresponding to the second period in the second period in the target cycle, thereby avoiding the time when the light-emitting unit is extinguished and solving the flicker problem. And the average brightness of the first brightness of the light-emitting unit in the first period and the second brightness in the second period is equal to the target brightness, thereby ensuring the normal display of the picture.
