[0002] To improve the display resolution of the display panel, a pixel arrangement using shared subpixels can be adopted. In this arrangement, the luminous state of a subpixel corresponding to a pixel is affected by the display data of its neighboring pixels that share the same subpixel. This causes a discrepancy between the actual displayed color or brightness of the pixel and its corresponding display data, which may result in phenomena such as color fringing, color distortion, or unclear display edges, thus affecting the user's viewing experience.

Detailed Implementation

[0009] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments should not be regarded as limitations on this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0010] Currently, most OLED screens use a shared subpixel arrangement design. Each pixel does not have all three RGB subpixels. Instead, it needs to share subpixels with adjacent pixels (especially blue and red). When displaying text, lines, or icon edges that require fine details, the edges usually only light up one or two RGB subpixels, resulting in a lack of complete three-color subpixels to depict the edges. This leads to poor continuity of edge lines and the appearance of colored edges (i.e., the edges will show colors other than black and white).

[0011] Taking the white vertical lines as an example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a subpixel arrangement of a conventional display panel, provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the sub-pixel arrangement of an Organic Light Emitting Display (OLED) panel, provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 and Figure 2 All the pixel lighting methods shown can display white vertical lines.

[0012] in, Figure 1 The red, green, and blue subpixels are arranged horizontally in an alternating pattern, with each group of red, green, and blue subpixels forming an independent, complete pixel. The integrated circuit (IC) of this display panel controls the subpixels on a pixel-by-pixel basis, ensuring that each pixel is independent and does not affect the others. All subpixels within the first dashed frame 11 are illuminated, making the area within the frame appear as a white vertical line. The first red subpixel 111, the first green subpixel 112, and the first blue subpixel 113 form a complete pixel. When a specific pixel needs to display white, all three subpixels within that pixel can be illuminated simultaneously. When a pixel needs to display black, all three subpixels within that pixel can be de-illuminated simultaneously.

[0013] Figure 2 In the diagram, the second dashed box 21 represents the left edge of the white line. The second green sub-pixel 212 and the second blue sub-pixel 213 are lit, while the second red sub-pixel 211 and the third green sub-pixel 22 are off. Because only the green and blue sub-pixels are lit at the edge, it appears cyan instead of white.

[0014] To address or partially resolve the issue of color fringing in OLED screens, this application provides a display panel 30 that can be used in electronic devices, such as mobile terminals, displays, automotive display devices, wearable devices, or other devices with image display requirements. Figure 3 As shown, the display panel 30 may include a display module 301 and a control chip 302; the display module 301 includes a plurality of sub-pixels; the plurality of sub-pixels are used to form a plurality of first pixels, and at least some of the sub-pixels are shared by adjacent first pixels; Among them, the control chip 302 is used for: The target display mode is used to control the display module 301 to display data; The target display mode includes a first display mode or a second display mode; the first display mode is a display mode that displays data through a first pixel; the second display mode is a display mode that displays data through at least a second pixel; the second pixel is determined based on the first pixel, and the number of second pixels is less than the number of first pixels, so that each sub-pixel in the second pixel corresponds one-to-one with the second pixel in which it is located.

[0015] In embodiments of this application, multiple sub-pixels are combined according to a first pixel arrangement rule to form multiple first pixel points. Each first pixel point may include multiple sub-pixels of different colors, and the color display of the corresponding pixel point is achieved by controlling the light emission state and light emission grayscale of each sub-pixel.

[0016] Specifically, the sub-pixels in the display panel 30 are arranged as follows: the pixel layer of the display module 301 includes multiple first sub-pixel queues and multiple second sub-pixel queues. Each first sub-pixel queue includes multiple first sub-pixels arranged along a first direction. Each second sub-pixel queue includes multiple second sub-pixels and multiple third sub-pixels. The second and third sub-pixels in each second sub-pixel queue are arranged at intervals along the first direction. The first and second sub-pixel queues are arranged at intervals in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. In the second sub-pixel queue, the perpendicular bisector of the line connecting adjacent second and third sub-pixels passes through multiple first sub-pixels, and the number of first sub-pixels passed through is the same as the number of first sub-pixel queues.

[0017] The first, second, and third sub-pixels have different sub-pixel types. In this way, adjacent rows of sub-pixels in the pixel layer of the display panel 30 can be arranged in an alternating pattern, and a triangular red, green, and blue pixel structure can be formed in a local area to form the first pixel.

[0018] It should be noted that this description of the display panel 30 only uses the diamond subpixel arrangement as an example, but the arrangement of the subpixels of the display panel 30 is not limited to the diamond subpixel arrangement. It can also be used for display panels formed by other arrangements of shared subpixels, such as the Pentile arrangement and Delta arrangement.

[0019] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the subpixel arrangement of an OLED display panel provided in an embodiment of this application. The first subpixel queue 41 contains multiple (four shown in the figure) first subpixels 411, and the second subpixel queue 42 contains multiple second subpixels (three shown in the figure) 421 and multiple (two shown in the figure) third subpixels 422. To ensure a neat arrangement of the subpixels, the perpendicular bisector of the line connecting the second subpixels 421 and the third subpixels 422 (i.e., the line connecting their geometric centers) passes through the first subpixels 411. Specifically, "passes through the first subpixel 411" means "passes through the geometric center of the first subpixel 411." By arranging the subpixels according to the above rule, a regularly arranged subpixels can be obtained, thereby forming an OLED display panel.

[0020] It should be noted that at least some sub-pixels in the display module 301 are shared by multiple adjacent first pixels. That is to say, the same sub-pixel does not correspond to only a single first pixel, but can participate in the formation of multiple first pixels in an adjacent area.

[0021] For example, among multiple adjacent first pixels, some sub-pixels located in adjacent positions can be shared by multiple first pixels, which reduces the number of sub-pixels required per unit display area, thereby improving the sub-pixel utilization efficiency and reducing the manufacturing complexity of the display panel 30 while maintaining the display effect.

[0022] Furthermore, the display panel 30 also includes a control chip 302, which is connected to the display module 301 and is used to provide display control signals to the display module 301. The control chip 302 can also be used to acquire image data to be displayed and determine the corresponding target display mode based on the image data to be displayed.

[0023] In this embodiment of the application, the target display mode includes at least a first display mode and a second display mode.

[0024] The first display mode is a display mode that displays data based on the first pixel. In the first display mode, the control chip 302 controls multiple first pixels according to the image data to be displayed, so that each first pixel corresponds to one pixel of information in the displayed image, thereby achieving high-resolution display.

[0025] The second display mode is a display mode that displays data based on a second pixel. The second pixel is determined based on the first pixel, and the number of second pixels is less than the number of first pixels. Specifically, the control chip 302 can recombine multiple adjacent sub-pixels to form a second pixel according to the arrangement relationship and reuse relationship between multiple sub-pixels.

[0026] The difference between the second pixel and the first pixel is that adjacent first pixels can share one or two sub-pixels, while adjacent second pixels do not share any sub-pixels. In actual controlled illumination scenarios, the brightness of a first pixel is determined not only by its control signal but also by the control signals of other first pixels adjacent to it, to ensure that the brightness gradient in a continuous pixel area does not produce unexpectedly large changes.

[0027] Compared to the first display mode, in the second display mode, a one-to-one correspondence is established between each sub-pixel in the second pixel and the second pixel itself, meaning that each sub-pixel used for display only participates in the data presentation of the corresponding second pixel.

[0028] Through the above settings, the control chip 302 can switch between the first display mode and the second display mode according to actual display requirements. When the first display mode is used, a larger number of first pixels are used for display, which can achieve higher display accuracy and a more delicate image presentation effect. When the second display mode is used, pixel reconstruction is performed, and the reconstructed second pixels are used to display data, which can reduce the complexity of display driving, reduce the amount of data processing, and improve the display efficiency of the display panel 30 in specific display scenarios.

[0029] Furthermore, the control chip 302 can select the corresponding target display mode based on the characteristics of the content to be displayed.

[0030] For example, when the content to be displayed requires high precision, the control chip 302 controls the display module 301 to adopt a first display mode to display using multiple first pixels; when the content to be displayed meets preset conditions, such as needing to reduce data processing load or needing to improve display efficiency, the control chip 302 controls the display module 301 to adopt a second display mode to display using multiple second pixels.

[0031] Therefore, the display panel 30 provided in this application embodiment can meet both the requirements of high-resolution display and low power consumption and high efficiency display by setting a switchable display mode and using a sub-pixel sharing structure to realize the conversion between the first pixel and the second pixel.

[0032] Based on the above embodiments disclosed in this application, the display method of pixels can be dynamically adjusted according to different display scenarios. Compared with the traditional display panel that uses a fixed single pixel structure for display, it can adapt to different display needs while taking into account display fineness and display accuracy, thereby improving the display effect of the display panel.

[0033] In some embodiments, when the target display mode is the second display mode, the control chip 302 is further configured to: Based on the content to be displayed, determine the first display area of ​​the display panel 30; The sub-pixels of the first display area are grouped to obtain multiple second pixels and multiple first target sub-pixels in the first display area; at least one of the first target sub-pixels and its adjacent sub-pixels is a sub-pixel that needs to be adjusted, so that after adjustment, the first target sub-pixel and its adjacent sub-pixels cooperate to obtain the second pixel. Based on multiple first target sub-pixels, the first display area is adjusted to obtain the second display area; The image content is displayed based on the second pixel in the second area to be displayed.

[0034] Based on the above embodiments, when the control chip 302 determines that the second display mode is used to display data, in order to improve the utilization rate of sub-pixels and ensure that the display area has a regular pixel composition structure, the control chip 302 reorganizes the sub-pixels in the first display area to form a plurality of second pixel points suitable for the second display mode.

[0035] Specifically, the control chip 302 first acquires the content to be displayed and determines the first display area corresponding to the content. The first display area can typically be a display area composed of sub-pixels controlled by control signals, such as a refresh area, display window, or area to be updated corresponding to the content; this application does not limit this.

[0036] After determining the first display area, the control chip 302 can group multiple sub-pixels in the first display area into pixels.

[0037] In this embodiment, each second pixel includes three sub-pixels of different types. The control chip 302 selects three sub-pixels that meet the combination conditions from the first display area according to a preset grouping rule to form a second pixel, and repeats the above grouping process until the construction of multiple second pixels within the first display area is completed.

[0038] The combination conditions can be determined based on at least one of the following: the positional relationship between sub-pixels, color type, arrangement method, and sharing relationship. For example, three spatially adjacent sub-pixels can be selected to form the same second pixel to ensure the continuity of the display area corresponding to the second pixel; at the same time, the three sub-pixels forming the same second pixel can correspond to different color types to ensure the integrity of the displayed color.

[0039] After the second pixel is constructed, the control chip 302 further determines the sub-pixels in the first display area that are not included in any of the second pixel points.

[0040] Due to factors such as the boundary shape of the first display area, the arrangement of sub-pixels, and the composition rules of the second pixel, after the construction of the second pixel is completed, there are usually still some sub-pixels in the first display area that did not participate in the construction of the second pixel. The control chip 302 uses these sub-pixels that did not participate in the construction of the second pixel as candidate sub-pixels for the first target sub-pixel.

[0041] Subsequently, the control chip 302 determines multiple first target sub-pixels from the candidate sub-pixels according to the preset screening rules.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the control chip 302 can determine candidate sub-pixels located at the edge of the first display area as the first target sub-pixel. Since the edge area is more likely to form remaining sub-pixels due to the inability of the second pixel to be fully constructed, prioritizing candidate sub-pixels at the edge as the first target sub-pixel is beneficial for subsequent boundary compensation and display area adjustment.

[0043] In other implementations, the first target sub-pixel can be determined from candidate sub-pixels based on factors such as the positional relationship of sub-pixels, color type, distance from adjacent second pixels, or subsequent display compensation requirements.

[0044] After determining multiple first target sub-pixels, the control chip 302 adjusts the first display area based on the multiple first target sub-pixels to obtain a second display area. This adjustment may include correcting the boundaries of the first display area, adjusting the display state of some sub-pixels, or redetermining the range of areas participating in the display, so that the second display area corresponds to the arrangement range of the multiple second pixels.

[0045] Subsequently, the control chip 302 establishes a correspondence between image data and display units based on multiple second pixels in the second display area, and generates corresponding driving data based on the image data to be displayed, so as to control the three sub-pixels in each second pixel to be displayed.

[0046] Since the second display area is adjusted so that the area to be displayed is mainly composed of multiple second pixels, it can ensure that each display unit in the second display mode has a unified pixel composition structure, avoiding problems such as uneven brightness, color deviation or discontinuous image edges caused by the uncombined remaining sub-pixels directly participating in the display.

[0047] Based on the above embodiments disclosed in this application, multiple second pixel points are first constructed according to preset rules, then the sub-pixels that do not participate in the construction of the second pixel points are used as the first target sub-pixels, and finally the image is displayed through other areas (i.e. the second display area) in the first display area except for the first target sub-pixels. Since there is no situation where the second pixel points share sub-pixels, the color edge can be eliminated. Furthermore, since the number of lit sub-pixels is reduced, the rendering complexity is reduced, and the display efficiency in the second display mode can be further improved and the display power consumption reduced.

[0048] In some embodiments, the control chip 302 is further configured to: The edge sub-pixels of the first area to be displayed are determined as the first target sub-pixels; Determine the sub-pixel type of the first target sub-pixel; The display state of at least one second target sub-pixel whose distance from the edge sub-pixel meets the distance condition and whose type is different from the sub-pixel is determined as the state to be lit; the second target sub-pixel is a sub-pixel outside the first display area, used to cooperate with the first target sub-pixel to form a second pixel; The first display area and the second target sub-pixel are used as the second display area.

[0049] Based on the above embodiments, since the second pixel is composed of three sub-pixels, and the boundary of the first display area usually cannot perfectly match the arrangement rule of the second pixel, after the construction of the second pixel is completed, there are often remaining sub-pixels at the edge of the first display area that did not participate in the construction of the second pixel. If the original display state of the remaining sub-pixels is directly maintained, it can easily lead to problems such as sudden brightness changes, color discontinuity, or incomplete display outlines at the edge of the second display area, thereby affecting the overall display effect in the second display mode. Therefore, in this embodiment, edge compensation processing can be further performed on the first target sub-pixel.

[0050] Specifically, after determining the first display area, the control chip 302 first identifies the edge sub-pixels within the first display area. Edge sub-pixels refer to sub-pixels located on the boundary of the first display area. Because edge sub-pixels are restricted by the display area boundary, they are more likely to be excluded from the complete combination of three sub-pixels during the construction of the second pixel. Therefore, the control chip 302 prioritizes edge sub-pixels as the first target sub-pixels.

[0051] Subsequently, the control chip 302 can determine the sub-pixel type corresponding to each first target sub-pixel. The sub-pixel type can be a different color type, such as a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, or a blue sub-pixel, or it can be the corresponding sub-pixel type in other color arrangements used by the display module 301; this application does not limit this.

[0052] After determining the sub-pixel type of the first target sub-pixel, the control chip 302 searches for candidate sub-pixels outside the first display area that can form a second pixel with the first target sub-pixel.

[0053] In order to ensure that the formed second pixel still conforms to the preset pixel composition rules, the control chip 302 determines at least one second target sub-pixel outside the first display area according to the positional relationship and sub-pixel type of the first target sub-pixel.

[0054] Specifically, the second target sub-pixel must satisfy at least the following conditions: First, the distance between the first target sub-pixel and the first target sub-pixel meets the preset distance condition to ensure that multiple sub-pixels that make up the same second pixel point maintain a spatial proximity relationship; Second, the second target sub-pixel corresponds to a different sub-pixel type than the first target sub-pixel, in order to meet the color composition requirements of the second pixel.

[0055] After determining the second target sub-pixel, the control chip 302 sets the display state of the second target sub-pixel to a pending-light state. This pending-light state means that the second target sub-pixel is temporarily added to the second display area and participates in the construction of subsequent second pixels, while the corresponding display data will be calculated uniformly after the second pixel is established.

[0056] Furthermore, the control chip 302 jointly defines the first display area and the second target sub-pixel as the second display area. That is, compared with the first display mode, the second display area not only includes the display content in the original first display area, but also extends to include the second target sub-pixel located outside the first display area.

[0057] Therefore, the first target sub-pixel, which was originally located at the edge of the display area and could not form a complete second pixel, can form a complete second pixel together with the newly added second target sub-pixel, thereby ensuring that each second pixel in the second display mode maintains a unified three-sub-pixel composition structure.

[0058] It should be understood that there may be multiple second target sub-pixels that meet the conditions outside the first display area.

[0059] In one implementation, the control chip 302 can select one or two second target sub-pixels to form a second pixel together with the first target sub-pixel.

[0060] Furthermore, in different implementations, the distance condition can be determined by Euclidean distance, Manhattan distance, chessboard distance, or topological distance defined based on sub-pixel connection relationship. Different distance thresholds can also be set according to the sub-pixel arrangement of different display modules 301. This application does not limit this.

[0061] Based on the above embodiments disclosed in this application, it is possible to preferentially identify the remaining sub-pixels in the edge region that have not participated in the construction of the second pixel as the first target sub-pixel, and introduce the second target sub-pixel that meets the distance conditions and color composition requirements outside the first display area. The first target sub-pixel at the edge position is compensated to construct the second pixel, so that the edge region can maintain the same pixel composition mode as the inner region. This reduces problems such as image breakage, color deviation and brightness discontinuity caused by missing edge pixels in the second display mode, eliminates color edge problems, and improves the integrity of the display area boundary and the overall display quality.

[0062] In some embodiments, the control chip 302 is further configured to: Among the sub-pixels outside the first display area, candidate sub-pixels adjacent to the first target sub-pixel are determined; For each candidate sub-pixel, the minimum distance between the candidate sub-pixel and the reference sub-pixel in the state of waiting to be lit or in the state of being lit is determined; wherein, the reference sub-pixel in the state of being lit is the sub-pixel in the first display area that is different from the first target sub-pixel. The candidate sub-pixel corresponding to the maximum value of each minimum distance is determined as the second target sub-pixel, and the display state of the second target sub-pixel is determined as the state to be lit.

[0063] Based on the above embodiments, when the first target sub-pixel corresponds to multiple candidate sub-pixels that meet the conditions, the control chip 302 can further determine the second target sub-pixel from the multiple candidate sub-pixels according to the spatial distribution relationship between each candidate sub-pixel and the currently displayed sub-pixel. This avoids the newly lit sub-pixels from being excessively concentrated in local positions, resulting in a more uniform sub-pixel distribution in the expanded second display area.

[0064] Specifically, the control chip 302 determines one or more candidate sub-pixels adjacent to the first target sub-pixel among the sub-pixels outside the first display area. The term "adjacent" in this embodiment can refer to geometrical adjacency or topological adjacency predefined according to the sub-pixel arrangement structure of the display module 301. For example, a candidate sub-pixel can be a sub-pixel located above, below, to the left, to the right, or diagonally opposite the first target sub-pixel, or it can be the sub-pixel closest to the first target sub-pixel obtained according to the sub-pixel arrangement rules.

[0065] In one implementation, the control chip 302 can first determine initial sub-pixels adjacent to the first target sub-pixel from the sub-pixels outside the first display area, and then filter the initial sub-pixels according to the aforementioned distance condition and sub-pixel type condition to obtain candidate sub-pixels. Thus, each candidate sub-pixel can meet the basic requirements of forming a second pixel with the first target sub-pixel in terms of color type and spatial position.

[0066] For example, when the first target sub-pixel is a red sub-pixel, the candidate sub-pixel can be a green or blue sub-pixel adjacent to the red sub-pixel. When the second pixel needs to include red, green, and blue sub-pixels, the control chip 302 can determine candidate sub-pixels to supplement the green and blue components, respectively.

[0067] After determining the candidate sub-pixels, the control chip 302 further determines the reference sub-pixel set.

[0068] The reference sub-pixel set includes at least one of reference sub-pixels in a lit state and reference sub-pixels in a state to be lit. The reference sub-pixels in a lit state can be sub-pixels within the first display area other than the first target sub-pixel; the reference sub-pixels in a state to be lit can be sub-pixels that have been selected before the current second target sub-pixel determination process but have not yet undergone actual lighting operation.

[0069] In other words, the reference sub-pixel can represent a sub-pixel that is currently participating in the display or has been arranged to participate in the subsequent display. The first target sub-pixel is not used as the reference sub-pixel for the above-mentioned lighting state, thereby avoiding interference from the inherent proximity relationship between the first target sub-pixel and the candidate sub-pixels on the selection results of the candidate sub-pixels.

[0070] For each candidate sub-pixel, the control chip 302 determines the distance between the candidate sub-pixel and each reference sub-pixel, and determines the minimum distance from the multiple distances obtained.

[0071] For example, let the candidate sub-pixel be The reference sub-pixel set is Then candidate sub-pixels Corresponding minimum distance It can be represented as: .in, Indicates the reference sub-pixel. Represents candidate sub-pixels With reference sub-pixel The distance between them.

[0072] The distance can be a Euclidean distance determined based on the sub-pixel coordinates. For example, when the coordinates of the candidate sub-pixel are... The coordinates of the reference sub-pixel are When the distance between the two can be expressed as: .

[0073] In other embodiments, the distance can also be a Manhattan distance, a chessboard distance, the number of subpixel position intervals, or a topological distance determined based on the subpixel arrangement topology. For display modules 301 with non-rectangular, staggered, or irregular arrangement structures, using topological distance can more accurately reflect the actual adjacency between different subpixels.

[0074] After obtaining the minimum distance corresponding to each candidate sub-pixel, the control chip 302 compares the minimum distances and determines the candidate sub-pixel corresponding to the maximum value as the second target sub-pixel. This selection process can be represented as: .in, This indicates a candidate sub-pixel that has been identified as the second target sub-pixel.

[0075] The above filtering method essentially employs a selection strategy that maximizes the minimum distance. For any candidate sub-pixel, the nearest distance between the candidate sub-pixel and the currently lit or yet-to-be-lit reference sub-pixel is first determined, and then the candidate sub-pixel with the largest nearest distance is selected. Thus, the selected second target sub-pixel can be as far away as possible from existing lit or yet-to-be-lit sub-pixels, thereby reducing the possibility of excessive clustering of newly lit sub-pixels with existing display sub-pixels.

[0076] For example, if the distances between the first candidate sub-pixel and each reference sub-pixel are 1 sub-pixel spacing, 2 sub-pixel spacing, and 3 sub-pixel spacing, respectively, then the minimum distance corresponding to the first candidate sub-pixel is 1 sub-pixel spacing. Similarly, if the distances between the second candidate sub-pixel and each reference sub-pixel are 2 sub-pixel spacing, 3 sub-pixel spacing, and 4 sub-pixel spacing, then the minimum distance corresponding to the second candidate sub-pixel is 2 sub-pixel spacing. Because the minimum distance corresponding to the second candidate sub-pixel is relatively large, the control chip 302 can determine the second candidate sub-pixel as the second target sub-pixel.

[0077] After determining the second target sub-pixel, the control chip 302 sets the display state of the second target sub-pixel to a pending-light state. The pending-light state indicates that the second target sub-pixel has been included in the second display area, but the lighting operation has not yet been performed based on the corresponding display data. Subsequently, the control chip 302 can determine the target grayscale of the second target sub-pixel based on the display data corresponding to the second pixel, and control the second target sub-pixel to display according to the target grayscale.

[0078] When multiple second target sub-pixels need to be determined for a first target sub-pixel, the control chip 302 can iteratively execute the above filtering process. Specifically, after determining a second target sub-pixel and setting its display state to be lit, the control chip 302 adds the second target sub-pixel to the reference sub-pixel set and recalculates the minimum distance between the remaining candidate sub-pixels and the updated reference sub-pixel set. Subsequently, the control chip 302 again selects the candidate sub-pixel corresponding to the maximum value of the minimum distance as the next second target sub-pixel.

[0079] By updating the reference sub-pixel set after each selection, the subsequently determined second target sub-pixel can not only maintain an appropriate distance from the original lit sub-pixel, but also maintain an appropriate distance from the previously selected second target sub-pixel, thereby dispersing multiple newly added second target sub-pixels outside the edge of the first display area.

[0080] In one exemplary embodiment, the first target sub-pixel is a red sub-pixel. Constructing a second pixel including a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel also requires determining a green second target sub-pixel and a blue second target sub-pixel. The control chip 302 can first determine the candidate sub-pixel with the largest minimum distance from the green candidate sub-pixels and designate it as the green second target sub-pixel. Then, it adds this green second target sub-pixel to the reference sub-pixel set, and then determines the candidate sub-pixel with the largest minimum distance from the blue candidate sub-pixels and designates it as the blue second target sub-pixel. Thus, the first target sub-pixel and the two second target sub-pixels can together form a second pixel comprising three sub-pixels.

[0081] When multiple candidate sub-pixels have the same minimum distance, the control chip 302 can also determine the second target sub-pixel according to a preset priority. For example, candidate sub-pixels that are closer to the first target sub-pixel can be selected first to ensure that the structure of the constructed second pixel is compact; or, candidate sub-pixels that are closer to the boundary of the first display area can be selected first to reduce the expansion range of the second display area relative to the first display area.

[0082] In other implementations, secondary filtering can be performed based on the candidate sub-pixel's color type, driving load, remaining usage count, row and column position, or distance from other candidate sub-pixels. The aforementioned secondary filtering rules are primarily used to determine a unique second target sub-pixel when the maximum and minimum distances are the same, without altering the technical concept of using the maximum minimum distance as the primary filtering criterion.

[0083] It should be noted that the reference sub-pixels do not necessarily include all sub-pixels in the display module 301 that are in a lit or pending lit state. In practical applications, the control chip 302 can select only lit or pending lit sub-pixels within a preset range around the first target sub-pixel as reference sub-pixels to reduce distance calculation. For example, relevant sub-pixels centered on the first target sub-pixel and located within a preset-sized search window can be determined as reference sub-pixels.

[0084] By using the aforementioned local search method, the computational burden on the control chip 302 can be reduced while maintaining the validity of the filtering results, thereby improving the generation efficiency of the second display area.

[0085] Furthermore, when processing multiple first target sub-pixels, the control chip 302 can sequentially determine the second target sub-pixels corresponding to each first target sub-pixel according to a preset order. The preset order can be determined based on the arrangement order of the first target sub-pixels on the boundary of the first display area, or based on the sub-pixel type, position coordinates, or compensation priority corresponding to the first target sub-pixels.

[0086] For multiple adjacent first target sub-pixels, the control chip 302 can also, after determining the second target sub-pixel corresponding to any first target sub-pixel, use the determined second target sub-pixel as a reference sub-pixel for the lighting state in the subsequent first target sub-pixel selection process. This allows for the establishment of a correlation between the compensation areas corresponding to different first target sub-pixels, reducing the problem of different second pixels repeatedly selecting the same sub-pixel or newly added sub-pixels being concentrated in one area.

[0087] Based on the embodiments disclosed in this application, by calculating the minimum distance between each candidate sub-pixel and a reference sub-pixel in the lit or unlit state, and selecting the candidate sub-pixel corresponding to the maximum value among the minimum distances as the second target sub-pixel, the newly added sub-pixel in the second display area maintains a relatively balanced spatial spacing with the existing display sub-pixels. Therefore, not only can the sub-pixels required to form a complete second pixel be supplemented for the first target sub-pixel, but problems such as excessive brightness, color shift, or uneven contour caused by local aggregation of edge compensation sub-pixels can also be reduced, improving the display uniformity and integrity of the edge of the second display area.

[0088] In some embodiments, the control chip 302 is further configured to: Based on the pixel type of each sub-pixel in the first display area, determine the target arrangement of the sub-pixels in the first display area; Based on the target arrangement, the sub-pixels of the first display area are grouped to obtain multiple second pixels and multiple first target sub-pixels.

[0089] Based on the above embodiments, in order to increase the proportion of sub-pixels forming second pixels in the first display area and reduce the number of remaining sub-pixels that do not participate in the construction of second pixels, the control chip 302 can determine the target arrangement of sub-pixels in the first display area according to the pixel type of each sub-pixel in the first display area, and group the sub-pixels in the first display area according to the target arrangement to obtain multiple second pixels and multiple first target sub-pixels.

[0090] It should be noted that the target arrangement in this embodiment can be the arrangement rule adopted by the control chip 302 when logically traversing and combining each sub-pixel in the first display area, and does not represent an adjustment of the physical position of the sub-pixels in the display module 301. That is, the physical arrangement of each sub-pixel in the display module 301 remains unchanged, and the control chip 302 changes the logical combination relationship between the sub-pixels so that three sub-pixels that meet the preset combination conditions form a second pixel.

[0091] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a target arrangement provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 exist Figure 4 Based on this, the sub-pixels were grouped according to the target arrangement, resulting in multiple third pixels 51 and multiple fourth pixels 52. Both third pixels 51 and fourth pixels 52 belong to the second pixel group. In the third pixel 51, the three sub-pixels are arranged as follows: green sub-pixel 511 is directly above the pixel, blue pixel 512 is to the lower left of the pixel, and red pixel 513 is to the lower right of the pixel. In the fourth pixel 52, the three sub-pixels are arranged as follows: green pixel 521 is directly above the pixel, red pixel 512 is to the lower left of the pixel, and blue pixel 513 is to the lower right of the pixel. In other words, the target arrangement can include both of these sub-pixel arrangements.

[0092] The control chip 302 first acquires the pixel type and corresponding positional relationship of each sub-pixel within the first display area. The pixel type can represent the color type corresponding to the sub-pixel, such as red, green, and blue sub-pixels, or it can represent other color types used in the display module 301; this application does not limit this.

[0093] The control chip 302 can determine the target arrangement method suitable for the first display area based on the pixel type and spatial distribution of each sub-pixel in the first display area.

[0094] In one implementation, the target arrangement can be the arrangement that minimizes the number of remaining sub-pixels in the first display area. Specifically, the control chip 302 can simulate grouping the sub-pixels in the first display area according to different candidate arrangement methods. Each candidate arrangement method corresponds to a sub-pixel combination rule. According to the corresponding sub-pixel combination rule, the control chip 302 selects three sub-pixels that meet the combination conditions from the first display area to form a second pixel, and counts the number of remaining sub-pixels not included in any second pixel after pixel grouping according to the corresponding candidate arrangement method. The control chip 302 can compare the number of remaining sub-pixels corresponding to each candidate arrangement method and determine the candidate arrangement method with the fewest remaining sub-pixels as the target arrangement method.

[0095] Because this target arrangement method allows more sub-pixels to participate in forming a complete second pixel, it can reduce the number of sub-pixels that need to be edge-compensated or adjusted in display mode, thereby improving the utilization rate of sub-pixels in the second display mode.

[0096] For example, when the number of remaining sub-pixels corresponding to the first candidate arrangement is four and the number of remaining sub-pixels corresponding to the second candidate arrangement is two, the control chip 302 can determine the second candidate arrangement as the target arrangement and formally group the sub-pixels in the first display area according to the second candidate arrangement.

[0097] In another implementation, the target arrangement can also be a preset arrangement. Specifically, the control chip 302 can pre-store one or more arrangement methods. The preset arrangement method can be pre-designed according to the sub-pixel arrangement structure of the display module 301, such as RGB strip arrangement, Pentile arrangement, Delta arrangement, diamond arrangement, or other sub-pixel arrangement structures. Among them, RGB strip arrangement means that each logical pixel independently has three sub-pixels of equal size: red (R), green (G), and blue (B). The three color sub-pixels are arranged in a long rectangle, closely side by side in the horizontal direction, and extend vertically to form a continuous vertical color bar (see reference). Figure 1(The text then discusses various subpixel arrangements, including Pentile and Delta arrangements.) Pentile arrangement means that subpixels are no longer independently assigned to each pixel. Green subpixels are the most numerous, while red and blue subpixels are halved. Adjacent pixels share subpixels, with a subpixel ratio of G:R:B = 2:1:1. Each logical pixel is not assigned a complete, independent RGB subpixel; instead, it relies on algorithmic interpolation and neighborhood color mixing to reconstruct the image. Delta arrangement means that the R, G, and B subpixels form triangular units arranged alternately, without continuous vertical color bars (see reference). Figure 2 (The arrangement of subpixels in the image).

[0098] After the control chip 302 obtains the pixel type of each sub-pixel in the first display area, it can directly call the preset arrangement corresponding to the current display module 301 and group the sub-pixels in the first display area according to the preset arrangement, without having to perform a simulation comparison between different arrangement methods.

[0099] By using a preset arrangement, the computational load required for the control chip 302 to determine the target arrangement can be reduced, thereby improving the generation efficiency of the second display area. Therefore, when the sub-pixel arrangement rules of the display module 301 are fixed and the display content changes little, the preset arrangement can be used first to complete the construction of the second pixel.

[0100] In some implementations, the control chip 302 can also select a target arrangement method according to different application scenarios. For example, when the control chip 302 has sufficient data processing capabilities, or when the first display area corresponding to the displayed content changes, the control chip 302 can adopt an arrangement method that minimizes the number of remaining sub-pixels as the target arrangement method to increase the construction ratio of the second pixel. When the control chip 302 needs to reduce computational complexity, or when the sub-pixel arrangement method corresponding to the display module 301 is fixed, the control chip 302 can directly adopt a preset arrangement method as the target arrangement method to reduce the calculation process of the arrangement method and improve the display response speed.

[0101] After determining the target arrangement, the control chip 302 groups the sub-pixels in the first display area according to the target arrangement, so that three sub-pixels that meet the combination conditions form a second pixel point, and the sub-pixels not included in any second pixel point are regarded as the remaining sub-pixels.

[0102] Subsequently, the control chip 302 can determine the first target sub-pixel from the remaining sub-pixels according to the method of the aforementioned embodiment, and adjust the first display area based on the first target sub-pixel to obtain the second display area.

[0103] Based on the embodiments disclosed in this application, the target arrangement can be dynamically determined according to the actual distribution of sub-pixels within the first display area, or a preset arrangement can be directly used for pixel grouping. On the one hand, it can increase the construction ratio of the second pixel points and reduce the number of remaining sub-pixels according to the actual sub-pixel distribution; on the other hand, it can directly use a preset arrangement according to system performance requirements, reducing the data processing complexity of the control chip and improving the display efficiency in the second display mode.

[0104] In some embodiments, the control chip 302 is further configured to: Control the display state of the first target sub-pixel to be off; The sub-pixels in the first display area, excluding the first target sub-pixel, are used as the second display area.

[0105] Based on the above embodiments, after grouping the sub-pixels in the first display area according to the target arrangement, there may be remaining sub-pixels in the first display area that are not included in any second pixel. The control chip 302 can determine the first target sub-pixel from the remaining sub-pixels and adjust the first target sub-pixel to an off state, so as to form the second display area based on the other sub-pixels besides the first target sub-pixel.

[0106] The first target sub-pixel can be a sub-pixel within the first display area that did not participate in the construction of the second pixel and is located at the edge of the first display area. Since the second pixel consists of three sub-pixels, the boundary shape of the first display area may not completely coincide with the grouping boundary of the second pixel. Therefore, after grouping the sub-pixels within the first display area, it is easy to form residual sub-pixels at the edge of the first display area that cannot form a complete second pixel.

[0107] If the remaining sub-pixels continue to be displayed according to the display data in the first display mode, the remaining sub-pixels may exist as isolated sub-pixels between the second pixels or at the edge of the second display area. Since isolated sub-pixels cannot form a complete second pixel with other sub-pixels, their emission may cause color deviation, local bright spots, outline burrs, or brightness discontinuity at the edge of the display area.

[0108] Based on this, in one embodiment, the control chip 302 can adjust the determined first target sub-pixel to an off state and remove the display position corresponding to the first target sub-pixel from the first display area to obtain a second display area. In other words, the second display area can be composed of the areas corresponding to other sub-pixels in the first display area besides the first target sub-pixel.

[0109] It should be noted that adjusting the first target sub-pixel to an off state means that the first target sub-pixel does not emit light in the current display frame or multiple display frames corresponding to the second display mode, and does not mean that the first target sub-pixel is removed from the physical structure of the display module 301. The first target sub-pixel is still set in the display module 301 and can re-participate in the display after the display mode is switched or the display content changes.

[0110] The control chip 302 can put the first target sub-pixel into an off state in a variety of ways. For example, the control chip 302 can set the target grayscale corresponding to the first target sub-pixel to zero grayscale; it can also stop writing valid display data to the pixel circuit corresponding to the first target sub-pixel; it can also control the data line, scan line, light emission control line or other driving signal corresponding to the first target sub-pixel so that the light emission device corresponding to the first target sub-pixel does not emit light.

[0111] When using pulse width modulation (PWM) to control the emission of sub-pixels, the control chip 302 can set the emission duration corresponding to the first target sub-pixel to zero, or not provide a valid emission enable signal to the first target sub-pixel. When using current driving to control the emission of sub-pixels, the control chip 302 can set the driving current corresponding to the first target sub-pixel to zero or below a preset emission threshold. The specific shutdown control method can be determined according to the driving structure of the display module 301, and this application does not impose specific limitations on it.

[0112] After determining the first target sub-pixel, the control chip 302 can update the region information corresponding to the first display area. The region information may include at least one of the following: sub-pixel identifiers, sub-pixel coordinates, region boundary data, or display mask data contained in the first display area.

[0113] For example, the control chip 302 can adjust the display mask value corresponding to the first target sub-pixel from an active state to an inactive state, while keeping the display mask values ​​corresponding to the remaining sub-pixels active. Based on the updated display mask data, the areas corresponding to the other sub-pixels in the first display area, excluding the first target sub-pixel, can be determined as the second display area.

[0114] In some implementations, the second display area can be composed of the area covered by multiple second pixels. Since each second pixel includes three sub-pixels, and the first target sub-pixel is not included in any of the second pixels, after the first target sub-pixel is turned off, the sub-pixels participating in the display within the second display area can be uniformly organized and driven according to the second pixels.

[0115] For example, the first display area includes multiple second pixels and several first target sub-pixels located at the edge of the first display area. After the control chip 302 adjusts the first target sub-pixels to an off state, the area covered by the multiple second pixels can be determined as the second display area, and the multiple second pixels can be controlled to perform display according to the display data corresponding to each second pixel.

[0116] In one possible scenario, the edge of the first display area is stepped, curved, diagonal, or other irregular in shape. When constructing the second pixel according to the target arrangement, some sub-pixels located at the aforementioned irregular edges may not be able to form a complete second pixel with other sub-pixels. The control chip 302 can identify the aforementioned edge sub-pixels that cannot form a complete second pixel as the first target sub-pixels and turn them off, so that the edge of the second display area is reformed along the outer boundary of the adjacent second pixel.

[0117] Therefore, the second display area can locally shrink relative to the first display area. This local shrinkage only occurs at the edge where the first target sub-pixel is located, while other areas within the first display area where the second pixel has already formed remain unchanged. Thus, by reducing isolated sub-pixels, the shape change of the second display area relative to the first display area can be minimized.

[0118] In some implementations, the control chip 302 can also adjust the display data corresponding to the second pixel adjacent to the first target sub-pixel after the first target sub-pixel is turned off. For example, it can compensate for the target grayscale of the same or different types of sub-pixels in the adjacent second pixels according to the color components corresponding to the first target sub-pixel before it was turned off, so as to reduce the impact of the first target sub-pixel being turned off on the brightness and color of the edge of the display area.

[0119] The aforementioned display data adjustments may include at least one of brightness compensation, color compensation, edge smoothing, or anti-aliasing. However, it should be noted that compensating the display data of adjacent second pixels is not a necessary step in forming the second display area, and can be selectively performed according to specific display quality requirements.

[0120] For multiple adjacent first target sub-pixels, the control chip 302 can uniformly set all the first target sub-pixels to an off state, and determine the boundary of the second display area based on the outer boundary of the second pixels adjacent to the multiple first target sub-pixels. In this way, the formation of discontinuous boundaries at the edge of the second display area can be avoided by processing the first target sub-pixels one by one.

[0121] The control chip 302 can also determine whether to adopt the extinguishing processing method of this embodiment based on the number or distribution of the first target sub-pixels. For example, when the number of the first target sub-pixels is less than or equal to a preset number threshold, or when the first target sub-pixels are mainly distributed at the edge of the first display area, the second display area can be formed by extinguishing the first target sub-pixels. This method does not require determining new sub-pixels outside the first display area, thus reducing the amount of computation required for pixel search and area expansion.

[0122] When the number of first target sub-pixels is large, or when extinguishing the first target sub-pixels may cause a significant shape change in the second display area relative to the first display area, the control chip 302 may also use the edge compensation method described in the previous embodiment to determine the second target sub-pixels outside the first display area. The extinguishing processing method and the aforementioned edge compensation method in this application embodiment can be used as different edge processing schemes, and can also be applied to different edge positions according to the actual shape of the first display area.

[0123] After the displayed content or display mode changes, the control chip 302 can redetermine the display area and pixel grouping relationship. When the original first target sub-pixel can participate in forming a new first pixel or second pixel, the control chip 302 can deactivate the first target sub-pixel from its off state and control its illumination according to the new display data. Therefore, the deactivation control of the first target sub-pixel is reversible and will not affect the normal use of the sub-pixel in other display scenarios.

[0124] Based on the embodiments disclosed in this application, the first target sub-pixel not included in the second pixel can be adjusted to an off state, and the second display area can be formed by other sub-pixels within the first display area excluding the first target sub-pixel. This avoids the remaining sub-pixels that cannot form a complete second pixel emitting light individually, reducing isolated bright spots, color deviations, and contour burrs at the edges of the display area. Simultaneously, this method eliminates the need to search for and introduce new sub-pixels outside the first display area, reducing the computational complexity of the control chip 302 and the cost of adjusting the display area, thereby improving the generation efficiency of the second display area.

[0125] In some embodiments, when the target display mode is the second display mode, the control chip 302 is further configured to: Multiple sub-pixels in the display module 301 are grouped to obtain multiple second pixel points; In response to obtaining the content to be displayed, the display state of multiple second pixels is controlled to display the image content.

[0126] Based on the above embodiments, in order to reduce the amount of computation required for real-time grouping of sub-pixels in the second display mode and improve the efficiency of display mode switching, the control chip 302 can pre-group the sub-pixels in the display module 301 before entering the second display mode to establish the sub-pixel combination relationship corresponding to multiple second pixel points.

[0127] It should be noted that the pre-grouping in this embodiment refers to establishing a fixed grouping relationship for the sub-pixels in the display module 301 according to the sub-pixel arrangement method corresponding to the display module 301 after the sub-pixel arrangement structure of the display module 301 is determined. The grouping relationship can be pre-stored in the control chip 302 or other storage units and directly called in the second display mode without having to re-execute the sub-pixel grouping according to the content to be displayed.

[0128] Specifically, the control chip 302 can acquire the pixel type and positional relationship of each sub-pixel in the display module 301, and group the sub-pixels according to a preset arrangement, so that every three sub-pixels that meet the preset combination conditions form a second pixel. The three sub-pixels forming the same second pixel can each have different pixel types. For example, a second pixel may include a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel, and a blue sub-pixel to meet subsequent color display requirements. Of course, in other embodiments, the sub-pixel types forming the second pixel can be adjusted according to the actual sub-pixel arrangement adopted by the display module 301; this application does not limit this.

[0129] After completing the sub-pixel grouping, the control chip 302 can establish corresponding identification information for each second pixel. The identification information may include at least one of the following: second pixel number, sub-pixel identifiers that make up the second pixel, sub-pixel position coordinates, and correspondence between sub-pixels.

[0130] For example, for any given second pixel, the control chip 302 can record the numbers corresponding to the three sub-pixels that make up that second pixel and establish a mapping relationship between the second pixel and the three sub-pixels. When the control chip 302 enters the second display mode, it can directly determine the sub-pixels that make up each second pixel based on the mapping relationship, without having to search for matching sub-pixels again.

[0131] In some implementations, the control chip 302 can also establish a second pixel mapping table corresponding to the entire display module 301. The second pixel mapping table records the sub-pixel number, sub-pixel type, and sub-pixel position corresponding to multiple second pixels.

[0132] After entering the second display mode, the control chip 302 can read multiple second pixels located in the second display area from the second pixel point mapping table according to the position corresponding to the second display area, without having to re-execute the sub-pixel grouping process.

[0133] For example, when the second display area includes several second pixels, the control chip 302 can determine the corresponding second pixel number based on the boundary of the second display area, and directly call the sub-pixel combination relationship corresponding to the second pixel number, so that the corresponding sub-pixel participates in the display according to the pre-established grouping relationship.

[0134] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the control chip 302 can establish corresponding second pixel mapping tables for different display modules 301. For example, for an RGB strip arrangement display module, a second pixel mapping table suitable for RGB strip arrangement can be established; for a Pentile arrangement display module, a corresponding Pentile second pixel mapping table can be established; for Delta arrangement or other sub-pixel arrangement structures, corresponding second pixel mapping relationships can also be established separately. The control chip 302 can select the corresponding second pixel mapping table according to the sub-pixel arrangement type of the current display module 301, thereby adapting to the sub-pixel structure of different display modules 301.

[0135] In another embodiment, the control chip 302 can also establish pre-grouping relationships according to different areas of the display module 301.

[0136] For example, since the sub-pixel arrangements in the edge and central regions of the display module 301 may differ, the control chip 302 can establish separate mapping relationships for the second pixel points corresponding to the edge regions and the central regions. When the second display area is located in different regions, the control chip 302 calls the mapping relationship of the corresponding region to determine the second pixel point.

[0137] It should be noted that the pre-grouping relationship in this embodiment can remain fixed, or it can be regenerated when the configuration of the display module 301 changes. For example, when the display module 301 is replaced, the sub-pixel arrangement changes, or the control chip 302 reloads the display configuration, the control chip 302 can re-perform the pre-grouping of sub-pixels and update the corresponding second pixel mapping relationship.

[0138] After entering the second display mode, the control chip 302 can directly call the pre-established second pixel mapping relationship, determine the multiple second pixels to be displayed according to the second display area, and control the corresponding sub-pixels to be displayed, without having to re-execute the process of real-time grouping of sub-pixels.

[0139] Based on the embodiments disclosed in this application, the second pixel is established by pre-grouping sub-pixels, enabling the second pixel to be determined directly by calling the pre-established sub-pixel combination relationship in the second display mode. On the one hand, this avoids repeated sub-pixel grouping calculations during display, reducing the data processing load of the control chip 302; on the other hand, it shortens the switching time between the first and second display modes, improving the display response speed in the second display mode. Simultaneously, since the composition relationship of the second pixel is pre-determined, it also helps ensure the consistency of the second pixel composition across different display frames, improving display stability.

[0140] In some embodiments, the control chip 302 is further configured to: Determine the content characteristics and / or color distribution characteristics of the data to be displayed; If the content features and / or color distribution features meet the target conditions, the second display mode is used to control the display module to display data. The target conditions include at least one of the following: Content feature indicates that there are display objects in the data to be displayed whose pixel area is less than or equal to a first preset threshold; The color distribution characteristics indicate that the number of colors contained in the data to be displayed is less than or equal to a second preset threshold. The color distribution characteristics indicate that the area ratio of the target color in the data to be displayed is greater than or equal to the third preset threshold.

[0141] Based on the above embodiments, the display panel 30 can operate in either a first display mode or a second display mode. The control chip 302 can determine whether the display panel 30 adopts the first display mode or the second display mode according to the current display requirements, and control the display panel 30 to perform display only in the determined display mode.

[0142] It should be noted that the first display mode and the second display mode correspond to different display methods. The first display mode can use the original first pixel of the display module 301 for display; the second display mode can use the second pixel of the aforementioned embodiment for display. Since the display units corresponding to the first and second display modes are composed differently, the display panel 30 will only use one of the display modes at any given time, and will not simultaneously activate both the first and second display modes.

[0143] Specifically, the control chip 302 can acquire the content characteristics and / or color distribution characteristics of the data to be displayed on the display panel 30, and determine the target display mode based on the content characteristics and / or color distribution characteristics of the data to be displayed.

[0144] In one embodiment, if the aforementioned content features and / or color distribution features meet the target conditions, the display panel 30 can be controlled to display the data to be displayed in a second display mode. The target conditions can be set empirically, and for example, they may include at least one of the following: the content features indicate that there are display objects in the data to be displayed with a pixel area less than or equal to a first preset threshold; the color distribution features indicate that the number of colors contained in the data to be displayed is less than or equal to a second preset threshold; and the color distribution features indicate that the area ratio of the target color in the data to be displayed is greater than or equal to a third preset threshold.

[0145] When the content feature indicates that there is a display object in the data to be displayed with a pixel area less than or equal to the first preset threshold, it means that the display object to be displayed needs to occupy a small area of ​​the display panel 30 (for example, this condition is met when the display panel 30 needs to display text, lines, outlines, etc.). At this time, the second display mode can be enabled to display the data to be displayed, so as to restore the true content of the display object to the greatest extent.

[0146] The color distribution characteristics indicating that the number of colors in the data to be displayed is less than or equal to a second preset threshold, and the color distribution characteristics indicating that the area ratio of the target color in the data to be displayed is greater than or equal to a third preset threshold, can both be considered as indicating that the color distribution characteristics of the data to be displayed are relatively simple. Specifically, "the color distribution characteristics indicating that the number of colors in the data to be displayed is less than or equal to the second preset threshold" means that the data to be displayed contains few colors (e.g., only one or two colors), and "the color distribution characteristics indicating that the area ratio of the target color in the data to be displayed is greater than or equal to the third preset threshold" means that there is at least one color whose display area is close to the total display area occupied by the data to be displayed (e.g., a white background image containing only black text or black graphics). In these two cases, it can be considered that the content to be displayed needs to highlight non-color elements, and therefore the second display mode can be used to display the data to maximize the presentation of non-color elements.

[0147] In another implementation, if the above-mentioned content features and / or color distribution features do not meet the target conditions, the display panel 30 can be controlled to display the data to be displayed in a first display mode.

[0148] In one embodiment, the control chip 302 can also control the display panel 30 to switch between a first display mode and a second display mode. For example, when the display panel 30 needs to display normally in the original pixel arrangement, the control chip 302 can enable the first display mode; when the display panel 30 meets the enabling conditions corresponding to the second display mode, the control chip 302 can exit the first display mode and enable the second display mode.

[0149] After determining the target display mode, the control chip 302 can shut down the display control process corresponding to another display mode. For example, when the control chip 302 switches from the first display mode to the second display mode, it can stop outputting drive data according to the display control method corresponding to the first pixel and enable the display control method corresponding to the second pixel; when the control chip 302 switches from the second display mode to the first display mode, it stops the display control method corresponding to the second pixel and restores the display control method corresponding to the first pixel.

[0150] In other words, at any given time, the control chip 302 maintains only one of the first display mode or the second display mode in an active state, while the other display mode remains off. Therefore, the sub-pixels in the display module 301 will not simultaneously perform display according to both the first pixel and second pixel organization methods.

[0151] Furthermore, when a display mode switch occurs, the control chip 302 can first complete the data output of the current display frame, and then execute the display mode switch, so that the new display mode takes effect from the next display frame. For example, when switching from the first display mode to the second display mode, the control chip 302 can first complete the driving of the first display mode corresponding to the current display frame, close the first display mode after the current display frame ends, and enable the second display mode, so that the next display frame is displayed according to the second display mode. Similarly, when switching from the second display mode to the first display mode, the display mode switch can also be completed after the current display frame ends.

[0152] Since the switching of display modes occurs between adjacent display frames, it can prevent the first display mode and the second display mode from participating in the display at the same time within the same display frame, thereby ensuring the continuity and stability of the entire display screen.

[0153] In some implementations, the control chip 302 can also store the mode identifier corresponding to the current display mode. When the control chip 302 determines that the target display mode is consistent with the current display mode, it can maintain the current display mode and continue to execute without having to switch modes again; when the target display mode is inconsistent with the current display mode, the display mode switch is then performed to reduce unnecessary mode switching operations and improve display control efficiency.

[0154] For example, if the current state is already in the second display mode and the current working state still meets the activation conditions corresponding to the second display mode, the control chip 302 can continue to maintain the second display mode; when the current working state changes to meet the activation conditions corresponding to the first display mode, the control chip 302 turns off the second display mode and turns on the first display mode.

[0155] Based on the embodiments disclosed in this application, the control chip determines whether to enable the first display mode or the second display mode according to the current working state of the display panel, and ensures that the two display modes operate mutually exclusively, that is, only one display mode is enabled at any given time. This not only avoids display abnormalities caused by sub-pixels in the display module displaying simultaneously according to two different pixel organization methods, but also improves the stability of the display mode switching process, ensuring the continuity and consistency of the displayed image.

[0156] It should be noted that the technical solution of this application is only described using the diamond arrangement of subpixels as an example in the embodiments of this application. However, the technical solution of this application is not limited to the diamond arrangement of subpixels, and can also be used for other arrangement methods with shared subpixels such as Pentile arrangement and Delta arrangement.

[0157] This application also provides a display method, such as... Figure 6 As shown, this display method is applied to a control chip in a display panel; the method includes: Step S61: The target display mode is used to control the display module to display data; the display panel includes a display module, the display module includes multiple sub-pixels, the multiple sub-pixels are used to form multiple first pixels, and at least some sub-pixels are shared by adjacent first pixels; The target display mode includes a first display mode or a second display mode; the first display mode is a display mode that displays data through a first pixel; the second display mode is a display mode that displays data through at least a second pixel; the second pixel is determined based on the first pixel, and the number of second pixels is less than the number of first pixels, so that each sub-pixel in the second pixel corresponds one-to-one with the second pixel in which it is located.

[0158] In some embodiments, when the target display mode is the second display mode, step S61 can be implemented by steps S601 to S604: Step S601: Based on the content to be displayed, determine the first display area of ​​the display panel; Step S602: The sub-pixels of the first display area are grouped to obtain multiple second pixels and multiple first target sub-pixels in the first display area; at least one of the first target sub-pixels and its adjacent sub-pixels is a sub-pixel that needs to be adjusted, so that after adjustment, the first target sub-pixel and its adjacent sub-pixels cooperate to obtain the second pixel. Step S603: Based on multiple first target sub-pixels, adjust the first display area to obtain the second display area; Step S604: Display the image content based on the second pixel in the second area to be displayed.

[0159] In some embodiments, step S603 can be implemented by steps S631 to S634: Step S631: Determine the edge sub-pixels of the first display area as the first target sub-pixels; Step S632: Determine the sub-pixel type of the first target sub-pixel; Step S633: Determine the display state of at least one second target sub-pixel whose distance from the edge sub-pixel meets the distance condition and whose type is different from the sub-pixel as a state to be lit; the second target sub-pixel is a sub-pixel outside the first display area, used to cooperate with the first target sub-pixel to form a second pixel; Step S634: The first display area and the second target sub-pixel are used as the second display area.

[0160] In some embodiments, step S603 further includes: Step S635: Among the sub-pixels outside the first display area, determine the candidate sub-pixels adjacent to the first target sub-pixel; Step S636: For each candidate sub-pixel, determine the minimum distance between the candidate sub-pixel and the reference sub-pixel in the state to be lit or in the lit state; wherein, the reference sub-pixel in the lit state is a sub-pixel in the first display area that is different from the first target sub-pixel. Step S637: Determine the candidate sub-pixel corresponding to the maximum value of each minimum distance as the second target sub-pixel, and determine the display state of the second target sub-pixel as the state to be lit.

[0161] In some embodiments, step S602 can be implemented by steps S621 and S622: Step S621: Based on the pixel type of each sub-pixel in the first display area, determine the target arrangement of the sub-pixels in the first display area; Step S622: Based on the target arrangement, the sub-pixels of the first display area are grouped into multiple second pixels and multiple first target sub-pixels.

[0162] In some embodiments, step S603 can also be implemented through steps S638 and S639: Step S638: Control the display state of the first target sub-pixel to be off; Step S639: Take the sub-pixels in the first display area other than the first target sub-pixel as the second display area.

[0163] In some embodiments, when the target display mode is the second display mode, step S61 can also be implemented through steps S605 and S606: Step S605: Group the multiple sub-pixels in the display module to obtain multiple second pixel points; Step S606: In response to obtaining the display content to be displayed, control the display state of multiple second pixels to display the image content.

[0164] In some embodiments, step S61 can also be implemented via steps S607 to S608: Step S607: Determine the content characteristics and / or color distribution characteristics of the data to be displayed; Step S608: If the content features and / or color distribution features meet the target conditions, the second display mode is used to control the display module to display data; The target conditions include at least one of the following: Content feature indicates that there are display objects in the data to be displayed whose pixel area is less than or equal to a first preset threshold; The color distribution characteristics indicate that the number of colors contained in the data to be displayed is less than or equal to a second preset threshold. The color distribution characteristics indicate that the area ratio of the target color in the data to be displayed is greater than or equal to the third preset threshold.

[0165] In some embodiments, the control chip can be used to execute the steps in the above method embodiments to achieve the same technical effect as the foregoing embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0166] The following describes the application of the processing method provided in the embodiments of this application in a real-world scenario.

[0167] Currently, most OLED screens use a shared subpixel arrangement design. Each pixel does not have all three RGB subpixels. Instead, it needs to share subpixels with adjacent pixels (such as blue and red). When displaying text, lines, or icon edges that require fine details, the edges usually only light up one or two RGB subpixels, resulting in a lack of complete three-color subpixels to depict the edges. This leads to poor continuity of edge lines and the appearance of colored edges (i.e., the edges will show colors other than black and white).

[0168] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a solution where, in certain display scenarios (such as fine text), pixels sharing a subpixel arrangement can be dynamically combined with adjacent RGB subpixels using an algorithm to virtually create a standard RGB arrangement to eliminate color fringes, i.e., to compensate for and illuminate the subpixels at the edges. During compensation, firstly, an initial illumination command for displaying the target content is obtained. Secondly, based on the position information to be illuminated contained in the initial illumination command, the edge position pixels to be illuminated are determined. Then, the pixel type of the edge position pixels is determined. If the pixel type includes the target type, a compensation illumination command is generated for the unilluminated pixel closest to the target type. Finally, the display panel is illuminated using the initial illumination command and the compensation illumination command.

[0169] The core of this process is the virtual recombination of physical sub-pixels. It does not change the physical hardware, but achieves "adaptation" through driver chips and algorithms, transforming "pixel arrangement" from a hardware attribute into a dynamic service that can be defined by software and content.

[0170] Mode switching: The control IC has multiple preset "pixel rendering modes".

[0171] Content Recognition: Real-time image analysis. When fine text is detected, the "RGB bar virtual arrangement" mode is activated, "bundling" adjacent irregularly shaped physical subpixels into standard RGB stripes, completely eliminating font color edges. When regular color images are detected, the system switches back to the standard diamond arrangement rendering mode to preserve color and detail.

[0172] like Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7This is a flowchart illustrating a specific implementation of a display method provided in this application. When the control IC receives a control signal 701 (i.e., an image rendering signal) for a sub-pixel, it first determines whether the image content to be displayed is fine text, lines, or icon edges. If so, the RGB strip virtual arrangement mode is enabled through the RGB strip virtual arrangement module 703, and the control signal 701 is sent to the second virtual pixel reconstruction module 707 via the RGB strip virtual arrangement module 703. In the second virtual pixel reconstruction module, sub-pixels can be grouped (i.e., the sub-pixel display mode of the display panel is adjusted to the second display mode), and the driving signal converted from the control signal 701 is used for sub-pixel redistribution, so that only groups of lit sub-pixels exist in the display module of the display panel during final rendering (i.e., only complete pixels are lit, and individual sub-pixels are not lit). This process may include a compensation lighting process for sub-pixels that would not normally be lit. Finally, display content with clear logical pixel outlines can be obtained, achieving a sharp text edge output effect. If the image content to be displayed is not fine text, lines, or icon edges, the standard diamond rendering mode is enabled through the standard diamond rendering module 702, and the control signal 701 is sent to the first virtual pixel reconstruction module 704 via the standard diamond rendering module 702. The first virtual pixel reconstruction module 704 can generate corresponding driving signals according to the control signal 701 and output the display in a shared sub-pixel manner, ultimately obtaining display content with blurred logical pixel outlines, achieving a rich color and detail output effect.

[0173] like Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the sub-pixel arrangement after sub-pixel compensation lighting, provided in an embodiment of this application. The third dashed frame 81, the fourth dashed frame 82, and the fifth dashed frame 83 represent the edges of the displayed content. For the sub-pixels included in the third dashed frame 81, the red pixel 811 is compensated and lit, allowing the three sub-pixels in the third dashed frame 81 to form a complete pixel. When these three sub-pixels are lit simultaneously, the area emits white light, thereby eliminating the visual edge effect and improving the user experience.
