Description
Technical Field This invention relates to the field of mobile phone display control technology, and in particular to a response compensation method for mobile phone display modules under low-temperature conditions. Background Technology When mobile phone display modules operate in low-temperature environments, their display response characteristics deviate significantly from those at room temperature. For LCD modules, low temperatures increase the viscosity of the liquid crystal material and decrease the deflection speed of liquid crystal molecules, leading to prolonged grayscale switching times. This results in problems such as ghosting, image retention, blurred dynamic images, localized screen distortion, and insufficient low-grayscale response. For organic light-emitting diode (OLED) display modules, low temperatures affect the characteristics of thin-film transistors, the efficiency of light-emitting materials, the sub-pixel current build-up process, and color channel consistency, causing changes in the stability of brightness, color coordinates, and gamma curves in low-brightness grayscale, refresh rate switching, and high-brightness display scenarios.
[0001] Existing low-temperature display compensation schemes typically use ambient temperature or the temperature of a single module as the control basis. When the detected temperature is lower than a preset threshold, compensation is achieved by increasing the liquid crystal driving voltage, adjusting the common voltage, calling a temperature compensation lookup table, correcting overdrive grayscale values, or correcting the gamma curve of the OLED display module. These schemes can improve low-temperature display abnormalities to some extent, but they still have shortcomings.
[0002] First, existing solutions mostly rely on a single ambient temperature or a single panel temperature, making it difficult to accurately reflect the actual response status of the mobile phone display module in low-temperature usage scenarios. Even under the same low-temperature environment, the pixel response capabilities of a newly lit cold screen, a display module lit up for several minutes, and high-brightness dynamic images and low-brightness scrolling images are not the same.
[0003] Second, existing LCD low-temperature compensation methods mostly treat temperature-controlled voltage regulation, overdrive compensation, and timing compensation as relatively independent control strategies, lacking a unified modeling of low-temperature response risks. Increasing the driving voltage alone may improve response speed, but it can easily lead to overshoot, flicker, or increased power consumption; increasing the overdrive amount alone may improve grayscale switching speed, but it may also cause reverse ghosting or local brightness fluctuations.
[0004] Third, existing low-temperature compensation methods for OLED displays typically address temperature gamma compensation, digital grayscale compensation, or refresh rate switching compensation separately. They fail to integrate temperature status, inter-frame grayscale shift, refresh rate, brightness level, local motion, and initial voltage into a unified low-temperature response level for coordinated control. Therefore, in scenarios involving low temperature and low brightness, high refresh rate switching, or scrolling displays, brightness jumps, color shifts, low-brightness distortion, or excessively high localized temperatures may still occur.
[0005] Fourth, some compensation schemes place more emphasis on generating the compensation amount, while neglecting to adequately constrain safety boundaries for overshoot, flicker, color shift, power consumption, and temperature rise before applying the compensation parameters. When changes occur in display module batches, refresh rate levels, brightness levels, or image content, over-compensation or compensation mismatch is likely to occur. Summary of the Invention To overcome the above problems, this invention proposes a response compensation method for mobile phone display modules under low-temperature conditions that can effectively solve the above problems.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the mobile phone display module response compensation method for low-temperature operating conditions of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention generates an effective response temperature by measuring panel-side temperature, flexible circuit board-side temperature, display driver chip temperature, ambient temperature, screen illumination duration, and temperature change trend.

Detailed Implementation To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0035] Furthermore, in this invention, descriptions involving "first," "second," etc., are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0036] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The response compensation method for mobile phone display modules under low-temperature operating conditions of the present invention is applicable to smartphones, foldable phones, tablet mobile terminals, or portable terminals with mobile phone display module structures. The mobile phone display module can be a liquid crystal display module or an organic light-emitting diode display module, wherein the organic light-emitting diode display module includes OLED display modules or AMOLED display modules.
[0037] The mobile phone display module is equipped with temperature detection points on the panel side, the flexible circuit board side, and the display driver chip side. Ambient temperature can be provided by a whole-device temperature sensor, a casing temperature sensor, or a system temperature estimation unit. The screen illumination duration is recorded by a system display session timer or a power management unit.
[0038] When the ambient temperature, panel side temperature, or effective response temperature is detected to be lower than the preset low-temperature compensation start temperature, the low-temperature response compensation process of this embodiment is initiated. The low-temperature compensation start temperature can be set according to the display module type, liquid crystal material type, OLED device type, supplier calibration results, or overall system reliability requirements, such as 0℃, -5℃, or other temperature values.
[0039] The control period Δt can be 1 to 8 frames, preferably 2 or 4 frames. Within each control period, the cryogenic response risk calculation, compensation parameter generation, safety boundary constraints, and parameter updates are performed once.
[0040] In this embodiment, low-temperature response compensation is not performed by directly looking up a table based on a single temperature value. Instead, an effective response temperature is first generated, and then a low-temperature response level is established by combining inter-frame grayscale transition state, local motion state, refresh rate, and brightness level. At least two types of compensation parameters are generated in conjunction with the same low-temperature response level. This processing method can reduce the risk of inconsistency between different compensation strategies.
[0041] In low-temperature environments, the actual response state of a display module is not equivalent to a single ambient temperature reading. For liquid crystal display modules, the response of liquid crystal molecules is related to the actual thermal state of the liquid crystal layer, the viscoelasticity of the material, and the self-heating process after lighting. For organic light-emitting diode display modules, at low temperatures, thin-film transistors, current build-up, luminous efficiency, and differences in sub-pixel channels all affect brightness and color stability.
[0042] Therefore, this embodiment defines the effective response temperature. This is used to characterize the actual response capability of a pixel. The effective response temperature is generated according to the following formula: , in, This refers to the panel side temperature. Temperature on the flexible circuit board side. To display the temperature of the driver chip, For ambient temperature, The duration of screen illumination. The thermal stability time constant, This is the cold start thermal hysteresis coefficient. This is the temperature trend correction factor.
[0043] The panel temperature change trend can be determined by the ratio of the panel-side temperature difference between adjacent control cycles to the control cycle, or it can be obtained after low-pass filtering. In one embodiment, the parameter range is as follows: , And satisfy: , In the formula, the first four terms are used to integrate multiple temperature sources; the exponential term reflects the thermal hysteresis caused by the inconsistency between the ambient temperature and the panel temperature during the cold start phase; and the last term reflects the self-heating trend of the panel after the screen is turned on. When the phone is first turned on and the ambient temperature is low, the thermal hysteresis term makes the effective response temperature lower than the single panel temperature reading; as the duration of illumination increases and the panel temperature continues to rise, the temperature trend term makes the effective response temperature gradually decrease, thereby avoiding further strengthening compensation.
[0044] In this embodiment, the current frame and the previous frame are divided into multiple display partitions. The number of display partitions can be from 128 to 2048, for example, divided into 8×16, 16×32, or 32×64 display partitions.
[0045] Establish the inter-frame grayscale transition intensity for the j-th display partition: , in, Let J be the inter-frame grayscale shift intensity of the j-th display partition. Let j be the set of pixels within the j-th display partition. Let j be the number of pixels in the j-th display partition. Let be the grayscale value of the i-th pixel in the current frame. Let be the grayscale value of the i-th pixel in the previous frame. The maximum grayscale value. This represents the grayscale transition weight.
[0046] For LCD modules, low-temperature-responsive migration types include low-grayscale to medium-grayscale migration, medium-grayscale to high-grayscale migration, large-amplitude forward jump migration, and large-amplitude reverse jump migration. For OLED modules, low-temperature-responsive migration types include low-brightness grayscale migration, low-brightness to medium-brightness migration, grayscale migration in low average image brightness scrolling scenarios, and low-grayscale migration during refresh rate switching.
[0047] In one implementation, the weight of normal grayscale migration is 1.00, the weight of low-temperature sensitive migration is 1.10 to 1.25, and the weight of low-brightness grayscale migration within three consecutive frames before and after refresh rate switching is 1.15 to 1.35.
[0048] Local motion states can be determined by block-matching displacement, optical flow estimation, or inter-frame pixel difference. The greater the intensity of local motion, the more easily the display area will expose ghosting, image retention, or lag issues at low temperatures.
[0049] After obtaining the effective response temperature, inter-frame grayscale transition status, and local motion status, a response risk value is further generated by combining the refresh rate and brightness level: , in, The response risk value for the j-th display partition. The intensity of grayscale shift between frames. For local motion intensity, The temperature risk factor is determined by the difference between the effective response temperature and the low-temperature compensation start-up temperature. The refresh rate risk factor is determined by the position of the current refresh rate within the supported refresh rate range. This is a brightness risk factor.
[0050] For LCD modules, the brightness risk factor increases with the current brightness level to reflect the more perceptible response lag under high-brightness dynamic display conditions. For OLED modules, the brightness risk factor includes both low-brightness grayscale distortion risk and high-brightness power consumption and temperature rise risk to reflect both low-temperature low-brightness grayscale distortion and high-brightness power consumption constraints.
[0051] The low-temperature response level is determined based on the response risk value. When When, it is determined to be a no-compensation level; when When, it is determined to be a mild compensation level; when When, it is determined to be at the moderate compensation level; when At that time, it was determined to be at the level of severe compensation.
[0052] In one implementation: In this way, the low-temperature response level is no longer determined solely by temperature, but rather by a combination of factors including the degree of low temperature, grayscale shift, localized motion, refresh rate, and brightness. Therefore, different compensation strategies can be applied to low-temperature static images, high-refresh-rate scrolling images, low-brightness grayscale change images, and high-brightness dynamic images.
[0053] When the mobile phone display module is an LCD display module, the candidate response compensation parameter package includes at least grayscale overdrive parameters and drive voltage correction parameters.
[0054] The grayscale overdrive parameters are generated according to the following formula: , in, Let be the overdrive grayscale value of the i-th pixel. The grayscale value of the current frame. It is the difference between the grayscale value of the current frame and the grayscale value of the previous frame. Let be the low-temperature overdrive coefficient of the j-th display partition. It is an overdrive nonlinear index; the low-temperature overdrive coefficient is determined based on the low-temperature response level, response risk value, and cold start state.
[0055] The driving voltage correction parameters may include at least one of the following: common voltage correction, gate turn-on voltage correction, gate turn-off voltage correction, and source driving voltage correction. Candidate driving voltage correction values for each display zone can be generated based on response risk values and inter-frame grayscale migration intensity, and then aggregated according to risk weight, area weight, or maximum risk principle to form the actual applied driving voltage correction value.
[0056] For example, the common voltage correction range can be [ The gate turn-on voltage correction range is [0, 2.5]V; the absolute correction range for the gate turn-off voltage is [0, 1.5]V. These ranges can be calibrated according to different display module models, driver chip specifications, and reliability requirements.
[0057] The core of this liquid crystal display path does not lie in simply increasing the driving voltage or the overdrive grayscale value, but in the fact that both the grayscale overdrive parameter and the driving voltage correction parameter are generated by the same low-temperature response level and are subject to safety boundary constraints before being applied.
[0058] When the mobile phone display module is an organic light-emitting diode display module, the candidate response compensation parameter package shall include at least the gamma equivalent grayscale correction parameter and the initial voltage correction parameter.
[0059] In one implementation, the set of candidate compensation parameters for the j-th display partition is generated according to the following relationship: , in, Let j be the set of candidate compensation parameters for the organic light-emitting diode display of the j-th display zone. Let be the gamma equivalent grayscale correction parameter for the c-th color channel. These are the initial voltage correction parameters. The current refresh rate, This is the current brightness level. This refers to the compensation mapping relationship obtained through factory calibration.
[0060] The gamma equivalent grayscale correction parameter is used to correct the output grayscale of at least one of the red, green, and blue channels. The correction coefficients for different color channels can be different at low temperatures to compensate for differences in color channel response caused by low temperatures.
[0061] The initial voltage correction parameter is used to correct the initial pixel voltage of the OLED display module during low-temperature refresh rate switching or low-brightness scrolling display. At low temperatures and during 60Hz to 120Hz, 90Hz to 120Hz, or low-brightness scrolling display transitions, the initial voltage correction parameter and the gamma equivalent grayscale correction parameter are generated in conjunction with the same low-temperature response level, thereby improving brightness jumps, low-brightness distortion, and color shift caused by refresh rate switching.
[0062] To avoid overcompensation, this embodiment performs safety boundary constraints before applying the candidate response compensation parameter package. These safety boundary constraints can be implemented through safety boundary projection.
[0063] Let the candidate response compensation parameter package be denoted as The response compensation parameter package after projection correction is denoted as ,but: , in, In response to the compensation parameter package, the first One parameter, For the first The normalization scale of each parameter, For the first Projection weights of each parameter, This is a set of safety constraints. By normalizing the scale, projection bias caused by direct comparison of parameters with different dimensions such as grayscale, voltage, current, and time series can be avoided.
[0064] The set of safety constraints includes at least an overshoot boundary and a flicker boundary. The overshoot boundary is determined based on the deviation of the predicted brightness from the target brightness, and the flicker boundary is determined based on the residual fluctuation of the predicted brightness relative to the target brightness. Preferably, the set of safety constraints further includes at least one of a color shift boundary, a power consumption boundary, and a module temperature rise boundary.
[0065] The color deviation boundary can be determined based on the deviation between the target color coordinates and the predicted color coordinates. The power consumption boundary can be determined based on the driving voltage, current, and backlight power consumption or light emission power consumption. The module temperature rise boundary can be determined based on the current module temperature, predicted power consumption, and heat dissipation coefficient.
[0066] In computationally limited implementations, safety boundary constraints can be approximated by item-by-item pruning. This involves sequentially pruning the grayscale overdrive coefficient, drive voltage correction, gamma equivalent grayscale correction, and initial voltage correction, and re-verifying the overshoot and flicker boundaries after each pruning until the safety boundary requirements are met.
[0067] Under low-temperature conditions, the response state of the mobile phone display module when it is first turned on differs from its response state after continuous illumination. Therefore, this embodiment divides the update of the response compensation parameter package into a cold start stage, a transition stage, and a stable low-temperature stage.
[0068] When the screen is on for no more than 60 seconds and the effective response temperature is lower than the low-temperature compensation start-up temperature, it enters the cold start phase. At this time, the compensation intensity of grayscale overdrive parameters, drive voltage correction parameters, gamma equivalent grayscale correction parameters, or initial voltage correction parameters is increased to improve ghosting, afterimages, low-brightness distortion, and abnormal refresh rate switching under the low-temperature cold screen that has just been turned on.
[0069] When the screen is on for more than 60 seconds but no more than 300 seconds, and the effective response temperature shows an upward trend, it enters the transition phase. At this time, the compensation intensity gradually decreases as the panel heats up, to avoid overshoot, flicker, color deviation, increased power consumption, or excessive local temperature rise caused by continuous high compensation.
[0070] When the screen remains on for more than 300 seconds and the effective response temperature change is less than the preset threshold, the system enters a stable low-temperature phase. At this point, basic compensation is retained, and only non-safety-critical compensation parameters are allowed to be slightly updated within the factory calibration limits.
[0071] The non-safety-critical compensation parameters may include a small correction amount for the grayscale overdrive coefficient, a gamma equivalent grayscale correction mapping index, and local compensation weights for low-risk zones. The safety-critical parameters may include the upper limit of the driving voltage, the upper and lower limits of the initial voltage, the upper limit of the luminous current, the temperature rise safety threshold, and the overshoot boundary.
[0072] To ensure the feasibility of this invention and the compatibility between different modules, this embodiment provides a factory calibration process.
[0073] The calibrated temperature ranges must include at least 25℃, 0℃, -5℃, -10℃, -15℃, and -20℃. The refresh rate levels must include at least 60Hz, 90Hz, and 120Hz. The brightness levels must include at least 10nit, 50nit, 200nit, and 600nit.

For liquid crystal display modules, it is preferable to measure response time, overshoot, and flicker; for organic light-emitting diode display modules, it is preferable to measure low-brightness error, color deviation, brightness fluctuation during refresh rate switching, power consumption, and temperature rise.
[0076] The model parameter set is obtained by minimizing the normalization error between the measured and predicted indicators. This model parameter set may include effective response temperature model parameters, risk weight parameters, level thresholds, liquid crystal display overdrive parameters, liquid crystal display voltage correction parameters, organic light-emitting diode display gamma equivalent grayscale correction parameters, initial voltage correction parameters, and safety boundary parameters.
[0077] After calibration, the parameter set is associated with the display module model, supplier code, driver chip version, refresh rate level, and brightness level, and stored in the internal storage area of the display driver chip, the system security partition, or the protected configuration area.
[0078] During subsequent operation, only non-safety-critical compensation parameters are allowed to be updated within the preset range of the factory calibration values. It is prohibited to exceed the overshoot boundary, flicker boundary, color deviation boundary, power consumption boundary, and temperature rise boundary.
[0079] In one embodiment of the liquid crystal display, the parameter values are as follows:

The overshoot evaluation value of single-temperature voltage regulation compensation is approximately 0.061, and the overshoot evaluation value of the present invention after safety boundary constraints is approximately 0.029, which can simultaneously improve response time and overshoot risk.
[0082] In one embodiment of an organic light-emitting diode display, under conditions of -15°C, switching between 60Hz and 120Hz, and low brightness of 50nit, the brightness change evaluation value without compensation is approximately 6.8 visually discernible units, and approximately 3.7 after gamma compensation alone. After compensation by gamma equivalent grayscale correction and initial voltage linkage, the value is approximately 0.8. The color shift without compensation is approximately 0.011, and after compensation by this invention, it is approximately 0.003. At the same time, the predicted temperature rise is below the safety threshold.

[0086] The risk modeling module is used to calculate the effective response temperature, inter-frame grayscale transition state, local motion state, and low-temperature response level.
[0087] The compensation generation module is used to generate candidate response compensation parameter packages based on the same low-temperature response level.
[0088] The safety constraint module is used to apply safety boundary constraints to the candidate response compensation parameter package.
[0089] The phased update module is used to implement phased updates, namely the cold start phase, the transition phase, and the stable low temperature phase, based on the screen lighting duration and the effective response temperature change trend.
