Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of liquid crystal panels, and in particular to a method for respectively adjusting different frequencies VCOM of high PPI HDM flashing. Background Art

[0002] HMD is also known as wearable head-mounted display. HMD is very sensitive to flicker, so new projects generally have higher requirements for flicker. In order to reduce the screen door effect (the degree to which the black BM around the pixels is visible to the naked eye), higher requirements are placed on the PPI of the display screen (currently reaching 1200+, and there is a need for further improvement).

[0003] In order to increase comfort and reduce battery weight as much as possible, the HMD project uses different refresh rates (60-120Hz) for different application scenarios to effectively control the power consumption of the entire device. The particularity of the experience mode of the HMD project (close distance) has high requirements for flicker, and different refresh rates need to meet customer specifications.

[0004] The main problem is that the size of the charging capacitor corresponding to the high PPI LCD is smaller, resulting in poorer charging and charge retention capabilities than mobile phone projects, and the traditional one-time VCOM burning method cannot meet the specification requirements of all frequencies. Figure 1 In the data in Table 1, taking the 1200+PPI project 72&90Hz as an example, the optimal values ​​corresponding to the two frequencies differ by 3-5 grids. Figure 2 From the data in Table 2, if the optimal VCOM deviation exceeds 3 steps, it may not meet the specification of -30dB. The traditional adjustment method with a frequency of 72Hz or 90Hz may not meet customer specifications. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the problems mentioned in the background technology, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for separately adjusting different frequencies VCOM of high PPI HDM flashing, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0006] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] A method for adjusting different VCOM frequencies of high PPI HDM flashing respectively comprises the following steps:

[0008] Adjust the VCOM value when the screen flickers at 90Hz, confirm the best VCOM value and keep a record of the VCOM value;

[0009] Power off and then on again to switch to 72Hz flashing screen, adjust VCOM value for the second time, and make a record of the best VCOM value;

[0010] Use the algorithm to calculate the best VCOM balance value of 72Hz and 90Hz, and keep a record of the VCOM value;

[0011] Write the above three VCOM values ​​into the corresponding registers of IC through OTP respectively;

[0012] Automatically switch the optimal VCOM value of the corresponding frequency to cover different scenarios of the whole machine.

[0013] Preferably, the register is a digital register or a shift register.

[0014] Preferably, adjust the VCOM value when the image flickers at 90Hz. When confirming the best VCOM value, adjust VCOM and choose the best value based on the image effect.

[0015] Preferably, when using the algorithm to calculate the optimal VCOM balance value of 72Hz and 90Hz, take the average of the two endpoint Vcom values ​​as the test Vcom value, and obtain the test flicker value of the LCD screen under the test Vcom value; determine whether the test Flicker value is less than the preset threshold Flicker value; if so, determine that the test Vcom value is the optimal Vcom value of the LCD screen; if not, take one of the two endpoint Vcom values ​​and the test Vcom value as the new two endpoint Vcom values, and take the flat value as the optimal VCOM value.

[0016] Preferably, the register is connected to a cloud storage module, and the cloud storage module is connected to a cloud platform terminal.

[0017] In summary, the present invention mainly has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] Based on the existing materials and process level of high PPI LCD, the HMD of the present invention integrates the flicker characteristics of different frequencies, makes the best VCOM adjustment for different frequencies and writes all of them into the IC, and customers can automatically switch according to different usage scenarios. In addition, the third balanced value customer can also use the traditional VCOM usage method for customers. Customers can independently select the appropriate application method based on the relevant flicker display evaluation results. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
