Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of liquid crystal panels, and in particular to a high PPI HDM flicker adjustment process. 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] The pixel size corresponding to high PPI LCD will become smaller, and the smaller the pixel, the smaller the size of the charging capacitor, and the corresponding flicker value will become worse. The traditional flicker adjustment results of the 1200+ppi project are confirmed to not meet customer specifications, and due to the limitations of existing technology and process of process and materials, it is difficult to increase the capacity of the charging capacitor in the short term for 1200+ppi, and related changes will reduce the yield of the LCD screen.

[0013] After OTP burning, power off and then on, and the flashing screen will be displayed to read the OTP burning parameters and make a judgment.

[0014] Preferably, after the flickering image is displayed, a flickering curve is captured after a short period of time or by optical exploration, and the VCOM setting parameter corresponding to the minimum flickering value is recorded.

[0015] Preferably, the duty backlight control signal is sent by a duty module, which receives a PWM signal transmitted from a display driver chip CABC module, calculates its duty value and a gate threshold Y with a duty value preset in advance, and when it is calculated that the duty value of the PWM signal transmitted from the display driver chip CABC module is lower than the gate threshold Y, the control signal is transmitted to the backlight driver IC module through a data transmission protocol to reduce the screen brightness.

[0016] Preferably, when recording the VCOM setting parameters corresponding to the minimum flicker value, a storage recording module is used to record the VCOM setting parameters, and an encryption module is used to encrypt the data.
