The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more apparent.

Currently, most display panels of projectors are liquid crystal display panels, and backlight sources are LED (Light-Emitting Diode) Light sources. The liquid crystal display panel is arranged in the airtight optical machine, so that the liquid crystal display panel works under the severe conditions of high brightness and high temperature for a long time, the surface temperature of the liquid crystal display panel can reach about 70 ℃, the illumination irradiated by the backlight source is very high, and great challenges are brought to the heat dissipation of the optical machine. Although active heat dissipation can be provided by installing a fan in the light engine, the heat dissipation effect is difficult to meet for such a highlight product of a projector. Meanwhile, the projector has the double limitations of low noise and low cost, and the space for actively radiating and improving is not large. The temperature in the optical machine is too high and the temperature distribution is uneven, so that the liquid crystal display panel is heated unevenly, and when dark state images (such as black images and 23 gray images) are displayed, the phenomenon of uneven dark state can occur, and the user experience is seriously affected. The high temperature of the whole machine also causes the problems of projector image quality reduction, poor color temperature and brightness uniformity, liquid crystal display panel transmittance reduction, polarizer yellowing in a projection system and the like, and then causes the service life reduction of the projector.
In view of this, the present application provides a display device, which can dynamically adjust the brightness of the backlight module in real time according to the display data, so that the power consumption of the backlight module is within a dynamic range, and the backlight module is prevented from continuously operating with the maximum power consumption, and the power consumption of the backlight module is reduced to the maximum extent on the premise of not affecting the display effect, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the temperature of the optical machine cavity of the projector. The service environment of the liquid crystal display screen is improved through temperature reduction, dark state display unevenness is improved, and image quality and user experience are improved.
Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The application provides a display device, and fig. 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of the display device. As shown in fig. 1, the display device includes a backlight module, a display panel, and a control unit; wherein,
The control unit is electrically coupled with the backlight module and the display panel respectively and is configured to:
acquiring display data and a display mode of the display device; determining target brightness information of the backlight module and target gray scale information of the display panel according to the display data and the display mode; controlling the backlight module according to the target brightness information; and controlling the display panel according to the target gray level information.
Specifically, the control unit is electrically coupled with the backlight module and the display panel respectively, and the control unit can control the light-emitting brightness of the backlight module and the gray-scale brightness of the display panel. The control unit acquires display data and a display mode before display through the display panel. The display data may be a display image or display information capable of characterizing the display image, etc., from which the original brightness of the display image can be determined. The display mode characterizes display content of the display device, for example, the display mode includes a video mode and a non-video mode, and the non-video mode may further include a human-computer interaction interface mode or a detected screen mode, etc. In a video mode, a display screen plays videos; in the man-machine interaction interface mode, a user can perform display function setting or function selection and the like by triggering operation on a display interface of a display panel; in the detection picture mode, the display screen displays a preset specific picture for detecting whether the display effect of the display device is normal. The control unit controls the display panel and the backlight module according to the display data and the display mode, and the gray scale brightness displayed by the display panel is different in different display data and display modes, and the backlight brightness of the backlight module is also different, so that the dynamic adjustment of the backlight brightness and the gray scale brightness is realized. The backlight module is prevented from continuously emitting light with the maximum brightness, the backlight brightness of the backlight module is controlled within a certain dynamic range, and the backlight power consumption is effectively reduced.
Further, the control unit determines target brightness information of the backlight module and target gray scale information of the display panel according to the display data and the display mode. The target brightness information comprises target brightness to be sent out by the backlight module, and the target gray scale information comprises target gray scale brightness to be displayed by the display panel. The gray scale represents the gradation level of different brightness from darkest to brightest, and the more gradation levels, the finer the picture effect can be presented. Taking an 8-bit display panel as an example, 256 brightness levels, referred to as 256 gray levels, can be displayed. Each gray level corresponds to a luminance, and the higher the gray level, the higher the luminance. The control unit controls the backlight module to emit target brightness and simultaneously controls the display panel to display target gray-scale brightness so as to compensate the brightness loss of display data, so that a display image can be displayed with original brightness, and the look and feel of a user are not affected. For example, if the backlight brightness of the backlight module is the maximum brightness, the backlight brightness is reduced to the target brightness corresponding to the target brightness information, and at this time, the brightness of the display image is reduced. And then, the gray-scale brightness of the display panel is increased to the target gray-scale brightness, and the brightness of the display image is improved. In the process, the brightness of the display image is firstly reduced and then increased, the final display brightness is equal to the original brightness, the display image does not have brightness loss, and the reduction of the light-emitting brightness of the backlight module is finally realized, namely the power consumption of the backlight module is reduced.
Based on the above, the display device of the embodiment includes a backlight module, a display panel and a control unit; the control unit is electrically coupled with the backlight module and the display panel respectively, and can control the backlight module and the display panel through the control unit. The control unit acquires display data and display modes of the display device, and determines target brightness information of the backlight module and target gray scale information of the display panel according to the display data and the display modes. The display mode characterizes different display contents of the display device, and the target brightness information and the target gray scale information are determined together according to the display data and the display mode, so that the target brightness information and the target gray scale information which accord with the current display mode can be accurately determined on the premise of meeting the use requirement of a user, the dynamic adjustment of the target brightness information and the target gray scale information is realized, the display device is prevented from continuously running at high brightness, the backlight power consumption of the display device can be reduced, the overall temperature of the display device is reduced, and the problem of poor display uniformity of a display panel is solved. Controlling the backlight module according to the target brightness information; and controlling the display panel according to the target gray level information. That is, when the brightness of the backlight module is adjusted, the gray scale brightness of the display data is adjusted to compensate the brightness loss of the display data, so that the display effect of the display data is ensured, and the visual experience of a user is ensured.
In order to further reduce the backlight power consumption while ensuring that the user's look and feel is not affected, the method for determining the target gray-scale information of the display panel and the target brightness information of the backlight module are different in different display modes, and will be described by specific embodiments.
In some embodiments, the display modes include a first display mode and a second display mode;
The determining the target brightness information of the backlight module and the target gray scale information of the display panel according to the display data and the display mode includes:
responding to the display mode as a first display mode, and determining first target brightness information of the backlight module and first target gray scale information of the display panel according to the display data; or alternatively
And responding to the display mode being a second display mode, and determining second target brightness information of the backlight module and second target gray scale information of the display panel according to the display data.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the first display mode is a non-video mode or a play mode with a higher requirement for a display effect, and the second display mode is a video mode or a play mode with a lower requirement for a display effect. In the non-video mode, the display content of the display panel comprises a man-machine interaction interface, a screen protection image, a detection picture image and the like; in the video mode, the display panel displays video images. Because the video image is dynamically changed, the requirement on the display effect (such as brightness and contrast) of each frame of image is relatively low, and the proper reduction of the backlight brightness of the backlight module does not influence the visual experience of a user. Thus, the display mode is divided into a non-video mode and a video mode.
Further, when the display mode is determined to be the first display mode, the first target brightness information and the first target gray scale information are determined according to the display data and the preset rule. The first target luminance information includes a first target luminance, and the first target gray-scale information includes a first target gray-scale luminance. The backlight module is controlled to emit light at a first target brightness, and the display panel is controlled to display a display image at a first target gray-scale brightness. And when the display mode is determined to be the second display mode, determining second target brightness information and second target gray scale information according to the display data and preset rules. The second target luminance information includes a second target luminance, and the second target gray-scale information includes a second target gray-scale luminance. The backlight module is controlled to emit light at the second target brightness, and the display panel is controlled to display the display image at the second target gray-scale brightness.
When the display data are the same and the display modes are different, the first target brightness is larger than the second target brightness, and the first target gray scale brightness is smaller than the second target gray scale brightness. For example, when the display images are the same, if the display images are displayed in the non-video mode, the backlight luminance is the first target luminance, and the grayscale luminance is the first target grayscale luminance. If the display image is displayed in the video mode, the backlight brightness is second target brightness, the second target brightness is smaller than the first target brightness, the gray scale brightness is second target gray scale brightness, and the second target gray scale brightness is larger than the first target gray scale brightness. That is, in the case where the display images are the same, in the video mode, the backlight luminance is lower and the backlight power consumption is smaller.
In the method of the embodiment, in each display mode, the target backlight brightness and the target gray scale brightness can be dynamically adjusted according to the display data, and in the second display mode, the backlight power consumption can be further reduced under the condition that the user's look and feel is not affected, so that the internal temperature of the display device is further reduced, and the phenomenon that the display uniformity of the display panel is poor is improved.
In the first display mode, the first target brightness information and the first target gray scale information need to be dynamically adjusted according to the display data. When the display data is a detection image, in order to secure the detection effect of the display device, the detection image needs to be displayed at a predetermined backlight luminance, which is described specifically by the following embodiments.
In some embodiments, the determining the first target brightness information of the backlight module and the first target gray-scale information of the display panel according to the display data includes:
detecting the display data and determining whether the display data is preset display data or not;
and responding to the display data as preset display data, determining that the first target brightness information is preset brightness information corresponding to the preset display data, and determining that the first target gray-scale information is preset gray-scale information corresponding to the preset display data.
Specifically, in the first display mode, the display data is detected, if the display data is preset display data, the first target brightness information is determined to be preset brightness information, and the first target gray scale information is determined to be preset gray scale information. The preset brightness information and the preset gray-scale information are brightness information and gray-scale information corresponding to preset display data. The preset display data is a detection image, and the detection image may be a single-color image, such as a red, green, blue, and other solid-color images. In order to detect the display effect of the display panel, the backlight brightness is usually required to be adjusted to the maximum brightness in order to ensure the accuracy of detection, that is, the brightness corresponding to the preset brightness information is the maximum brightness of the backlight module, and at this time, no brightness loss compensation is required for the display data, and no adjustment is required for the gray scale brightness.
On the premise of ensuring the detection accuracy, the backlight brightness can be properly reduced, and the backlight power consumption is further reduced. The brightness of the preset brightness information can be 90% of the maximum brightness of the backlight module, namely, the backlight brightness is reduced by 10%, and the gray-scale brightness is increased by 10% to compensate the brightness loss of the preset display data. The gray-scale brightness corresponding to the preset gray-scale information is the gray-scale brightness after being improved by 10%. That is, when the display data is preset display data, the backlight module is controlled by the fixed preset brightness information, and the display panel is controlled by the fixed preset gray level information, so as to meet the specific use or detection requirement of the user.
How to determine the target luminance information and the target gradation information from the display data and the display mode is described below by way of example.
In some embodiments, the determining the target brightness information of the backlight module and the target gray scale information of the display panel according to the display data and the display mode includes:
determining target brightness information of the backlight module according to the display data and the display mode;
Determining target gray scale information of the display panel according to the target brightness information; wherein the target brightness information and the target gray scale information are inversely related.
Specifically, when determining the target brightness information and the target gray-scale information, the target brightness information is determined according to the display data and the display mode, and then the target gray-scale information is determined according to the target brightness information. As in the previous embodiments, the display modes include a first display mode and a second display mode. When the display mode is determined to be the first display mode, first target brightness information is determined according to the display data, the first target brightness information comprises first target brightness, first target gray scale information is determined according to the first target brightness, and the first target gray scale information comprises first target gray scale brightness. The original brightness of the display image can be determined according to the display data, and the first target brightness and the first target gray-scale brightness are determined according to the original brightness and a preset rule. The first target luminance is positively correlated with the original luminance, and the first target gray-scale luminance is negatively correlated with the original luminance. That is, the larger the original brightness is, the larger the first target brightness is, and the smaller the first target gray-scale brightness is; the smaller the original brightness is, the smaller the first target brightness is, the larger the first target gray-scale brightness is, and the brightness loss of the display image is compensated through the gray-scale brightness. For example, when the display image is a black image, the original brightness is lower, and the determined first target brightness is lower at this time, for example, the first target brightness is determined to be 50% of the maximum backlight brightness (i.e., the backlight brightness is reduced by 50%), and correspondingly, the gray-scale brightness of the display panel is increased by 50% to obtain the first target gray-scale brightness. When the display image is a white image, the original brightness is higher, and the determined first target brightness is higher at this time, for example, the first target brightness is determined as the maximum backlight brightness, and the current gray-scale brightness is taken as the first target gray-scale brightness (which is equivalent to that the gray-scale brightness is not adjusted). When the display image is other monochromatic images except black and white, the first target brightness is determined to be 65% of the maximum backlight brightness (namely, the backlight brightness is reduced by 35%), and correspondingly, the gray scale brightness of the display panel is increased by 35% to obtain the first target gray scale brightness. When the current gray level of the display image is 128, the first target brightness is determined to be 70% of the maximum backlight brightness (i.e. the backlight brightness is reduced by 30%), and correspondingly, the gray level brightness of the display panel is increased by 30% to obtain the first target gray level brightness. It should be noted that, the higher the current gray level of the display image, the higher the original brightness of the display image, and the larger the corresponding first target brightness, the smaller the first target gray level brightness.
Table 1 shows a backlight power consumption comparison table under different display data. The first column of data in table 1 is different display data, which are respectively black image, white image, red image, green image, blue image, and different gray scale display images, from 32 gray scale to 224 gray scale. The second column data is the backlight power consumption of each display data under the condition that the backlight brightness is not adjusted, and the third column data is the backlight power consumption of each display data under the condition that the backlight brightness is dynamically adjusted. As can be seen from the data in table 1, the backlight power consumption corresponding to each display data is substantially the same without adjusting the backlight brightness, and is equal to the maximum power consumption of the backlight module, and the light-emitting brightness of the backlight module is the maximum brightness. When the backlight brightness is dynamically adjusted, the backlight power consumption corresponding to different display data is different, the backlight power consumption corresponding to the black image and the 32 gray scale image is the lowest, 34.2W, and the backlight power consumption is increased along with the increase of the gray scale. The backlight power consumption corresponding to the white image is 124W, which is equal to the maximum power consumption of the backlight module. The red image, the green image and the blue image are preset display data in the foregoing embodiments, the first target brightness information is preset brightness information, the brightness corresponding to the preset brightness information is equal to the maximum brightness of the backlight module, and the backlight power consumption is 124W.
When the display mode is determined to be the second display mode, second target brightness information is determined according to the display data, the second target brightness information comprises second target brightness, and second target gray scale information is determined according to the second target brightness, and the second target gray scale information comprises second target gray scale brightness. The original brightness of the display image can be determined according to the display data, and the second target brightness and the second target gray-scale brightness are determined according to the original brightness and a preset rule. The second target luminance is positively correlated with the original luminance, and the second target gray-scale luminance is negatively correlated with the original luminance. When the display images are the same and the display modes are different, the second target brightness is smaller than the first target brightness, and the second target gray-scale brightness is larger than the second target gray-scale brightness. The method for determining the second target gray-scale luminance according to the second target luminance is the same as the method for determining the first target gray-scale luminance according to the first target luminance, and will not be described here again. For example, when the current gray level of the display image is 128, the second target brightness is determined to be 65% of the maximum backlight brightness (i.e. the backlight brightness is reduced by 35%), and correspondingly, the gray level brightness of the display panel is increased by 35% to obtain the second target gray level brightness. The higher the current gray level of the display image is, the higher the original brightness of the display image is, the larger the corresponding first target brightness is, and the smaller the first target gray level brightness is. As shown in table 1, in the second display mode, when the display data is video (the play time is 1H), the power consumption amount under the unadjusted backlight luminance is 0.12kw·h, the power consumption amount under the dynamic adjustment backlight luminance is 0.06kw·h, and the power consumption amount is reduced by 50%. Therefore, the backlight power consumption of the backlight module or the power consumption of the display device can be effectively reduced by dynamically adjusting the backlight brightness in the first display mode or the second display mode, so that the energy consumption is reduced.

That is, when the brightness of the backlight module is adjusted, the gray scale brightness of the display data is adjusted to compensate the brightness loss of the display data, so that the display effect of the display data is ensured, and the visual experience of a user is ensured.
It should be noted that the display control method in the present application may be applied not only to a mobile device (such as a mobile phone, a tablet, etc.), but also to a projector, that is, the display device in the present application may be a mobile device, a projector, and the display panel is a liquid crystal display panel. Because the charging of the mobile equipment terminal is relatively limited, the mobile equipment terminal has higher requirements on the cruising ability of the battery. By adopting the display control method, the backlight power consumption of the mobile equipment end can be reduced, the power range of the backlight module is controlled between 30W and 60W, the purpose of saving electric quantity is realized, and the battery endurance is improved. When the brightness detection is carried out on the mobile equipment end, a color analyzer is used, and the brightness unit is nit (nit).
In the projector, the display control method can obviously reduce the backlight power consumption, control the power range of the backlight module to be between 30W and 130W, further reduce the temperature in the optical machine, improve the use environment of the liquid crystal display panel, improve the non-uniform display of the dark state and improve the image quality and the user experience of the projector. When the projector is used for brightness detection, an illuminometer is used, and the brightness unit is lux (lx is abbreviated as lx).
In order to embody the effect of the application on reducing the temperature of the inner cavity of the optical machine of the projector, the following experimental data are combined for detail description. Fig. 5A shows a schematic view of the light entrance surface of a liquid crystal display panel in a projector, wherein test points include a light entrance point 1, a light entrance point 2, and a light entrance point 3. Fig. 5B shows a schematic view of the light emitting surface of the liquid crystal display panel in the projector, wherein the test point includes the light emitting point 4.

When the display time is 30min, the temperature of each test point is within 73-76.3 ℃ under the condition of not adjusting the backlight brightness, the temperature of each test point is within 57.5-59.6 ℃ under the condition of dynamically adjusting the backlight brightness, and the maximum temperature difference is 16.7 ℃, so that the temperature in the optical machine of the projector is obviously reduced after the dynamic backlight brightness is opened, the service life of the liquid crystal display panel is prolonged, and the service life of the projector is prolonged.

In order to further reduce the backlight power consumption while ensuring that the user's look and feel is not affected, the method for determining the target gray-scale information of the display panel and the target brightness information of the backlight module are different in different display modes, and will be described by specific embodiments.
In some embodiments, the display modes include a first display mode and a second display mode;
The determining the target brightness information of the backlight module and the target gray scale information of the display panel according to the display data and the display mode includes:
responding to the display mode as a first display mode, and determining first target brightness information of the backlight module and first target gray scale information of the display panel according to the display data; or alternatively
And responding to the display mode being a second display mode, and determining second target brightness information of the backlight module and second target gray scale information of the display panel according to the display data.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the first display mode is a non-video mode, and the second display mode is a video mode or a play mode with a low requirement for display effect. In a non-video mode, the display panel displays non-video forms of contents including a human-computer interaction interface, a screen protection image, a detection picture image and the like; in the video mode, the display panel displays video images. Because the video image is dynamically changed, the requirement on the display effect (such as brightness and contrast) of each frame of image is relatively low, and the proper reduction of the backlight brightness of the backlight module does not influence the visual experience of a user. Thus, the display mode is divided into a non-video mode and a video mode.
Further, when the display mode is determined to be the first display mode, the first target brightness information and the first target gray scale information are determined according to the display data and the preset rule. The first target luminance information includes a first target luminance, and the first target gray-scale information includes a first target gray-scale luminance. The backlight module is controlled to emit light at a first target brightness, and the display panel is controlled to display a display image at a first target gray-scale brightness. And when the display mode is determined to be the second display mode, determining second target brightness information and second target gray scale information according to the display data and preset rules. The second target luminance information includes a second target luminance, and the second target gray-scale information includes a second target gray-scale luminance. The backlight module is controlled to emit light at the second target brightness, and the display panel is controlled to display the display image at the second target gray-scale brightness. When the display data are the same and the display modes are different, the first target brightness is larger than the second target brightness, and the first target gray scale brightness is smaller than the second target gray scale brightness. For example, when the display images are the same, if the display images are displayed in the non-video mode, the backlight luminance is the first target luminance, and the grayscale luminance is the first target grayscale luminance. If the display image is displayed in the video mode, the backlight brightness is second target brightness, the second target brightness is smaller than the first target brightness, the gray scale brightness is second target gray scale brightness, and the second target gray scale brightness is larger than the first target gray scale brightness. That is, in the case where the display images are the same, in the video mode, the backlight luminance is lower and the backlight power consumption is smaller.
In the method of the embodiment, in each display mode, the target backlight brightness and the target gray scale brightness can be dynamically adjusted according to the display data, and in the second display mode, the backlight power consumption can be further reduced under the condition that the user's look and feel is not affected, so that the internal temperature of the display device is further reduced, and the phenomenon that the display uniformity of the display panel is poor is improved.
In the first display mode, the first target brightness information and the first target gray scale information need to be dynamically adjusted according to the display data. When the display data is a detection image, in order to secure the detection effect of the display device, the detection image needs to be displayed at a predetermined backlight luminance, which is described specifically by the following embodiments.
In some embodiments, the determining the first target brightness information of the backlight module and the first target gray-scale information of the display panel according to the display data includes:
detecting the display data and determining whether the display data is preset display data or not;
and responding to the display data as preset display data, determining that the first target brightness information is preset brightness information corresponding to the preset display data, and determining that the first target gray-scale information is preset gray-scale information corresponding to the preset display data.
Specifically, in the first display mode, the display data is detected, if the display data is preset display data, the first target brightness information is determined to be preset brightness information, and the first target gray scale information is determined to be preset gray scale information. The preset brightness information and the preset gray-scale information are brightness information and gray-scale information corresponding to preset display data. The preset display data is a detection image, and the detection image may be a single-color image, such as a red, green, blue, and other solid-color images. In order to detect the display effect of the display panel, the backlight brightness is usually required to be adjusted to the maximum brightness in order to ensure the accuracy of detection, that is, the brightness corresponding to the preset brightness information is the maximum brightness of the backlight module, and at this time, no brightness loss compensation is required for the display data, and no adjustment is required for the gray scale brightness.
On the premise of ensuring the detection accuracy, the backlight brightness can be properly reduced, and the backlight power consumption is further reduced. The brightness of the preset brightness information can be 90% of the maximum brightness of the backlight module, namely, the backlight brightness is reduced by 10%, and the gray-scale brightness is increased by 10% to compensate the brightness loss of the preset display data. The gray-scale brightness corresponding to the preset gray-scale information is the gray-scale brightness after being improved by 10%. That is, when the display data is preset display data, the backlight module is controlled by the fixed preset brightness information, and the display panel is controlled by the fixed preset gray level information, so as to meet the specific use or detection requirement of the user.
