Background
Currently, the Light sources of LED display screens and LED backlights are mainly provided by Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs).
The LED display screen is a display screen for displaying various information such as characters, graphics, images, animation, quotation, video, or video. The LED display screen is divided into a picture-text display screen and a video display screen which are both composed of LED matrix blocks.
The color reducibility of the LED backlight greatly exceeds that of a Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) backlight, so that the liquid crystal display television mainly adopts the LED backlight. In addition, the dynamic backlight technology of the LED backlight source not only greatly reduces the power consumption of the liquid crystal television adopting the LED backlight source, but also improves the contrast ratio, the color expression and the like of the liquid crystal television. Meanwhile, because the service life of the LED backlight source is very long, which can reach 10 ten thousand hours, the service life of the liquid crystal television adopting the LED backlight source is also very long, for example, if the LED backlight source is started for 5 hours every day, one liquid crystal television adopting the LED backlight source can be used for about 55 years. In addition, it contains no mercury and has good environmental protection performance.
Specifically, the LED backlight used in the lcd tv may be Red, Green and Blue (RGB), and the multi-color LED backlight may also be applied in high-end products to further improve the color expression, for example, a liquid crystal display using a six-primary-color LED backlight is released by mitsubishi motor on SID 2005.
In the prior art, in order to enable light emitted by LEDs to meet requirements of chromaticity and brightness, firstly, chromaticity values and brightness values of LEDs of different primary colors are collected when Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) of driving signals is 100%, and driving signals PWM of LEDs of different primary colors are obtained through a conversion formula according to the chromaticity values and the brightness values of the required colors. And then driving the corresponding three-primary-color LED to emit the required color by using the obtained driving signal PWM of each three-primary-color LED.
Take the example of requiring a three primary LED array board to output white light. Under the condition that the input drive signal PWM is 100%, respectively lighting each red LED, green LED and blue LED on the three-primary-color LED array plate, and collecting the colorimetric value and the brightness value of each red LED, the colorimetric value and the brightness value of each green LED and the colorimetric value and the brightness value of each blue LED, and adopting a formula according to the collected colorimetric values of the three-primary-color LEDs and the preset standard white light colorimetric value
And obtaining the brightness ratio of each tricolor LED, generating a corresponding driving signal PWM according to each brightness ratio, and inputting the driving signal PWM into the corresponding tricolor LED, so that the tricolor LED array plate outputs white light.
However, the obtained driving signal PWM has an error with an actual standard driving signal PWM, so that there are problems such as color spots and bright spots on the entire screen. Taking the three-primary-color LED array board outputting white light as an example, manufacturers need that the three-primary-color LED array board outputting standard white light is (0.31 ), when inputting driving signals PWM to the three-primary-color LED array board, collecting and obtaining red LED chromaticity values, green LED chromaticity values and blue LED chromaticity values of one of the three primary-color LEDs, which are respectively (0.6939, 0.3060) (0.175, 0.7081) (0.1493, 0.0316), and calculating the obtained brightness ratio according to the above formula to be (0.31 ), where
However, the actual standard brightness ratio of the three primary color LED should be
Therefore, the ratio of the brightness obtained by calculation
The generated driving signal PWM cannot make the three primary color LED output a practically standard white light. Therefore, for each three-primary color LED on the three-primary color LED array plate, the driving signal PWM of each three-primary color LED obtained by calculation and the standard of each three-primary color LED actuallyThe driving signal has errors, so that color spots and bright spots appear on the screen.
