Description

一种液晶显示屏的背光功率控制方法及液晶显示屏 技术领域
本申请涉及液晶显示屏技术领域,具体涉及一种液晶显示屏的背光功率控制方法及液晶显示屏。
背景技术
液晶显示屏(Liquid Crystal Display,简称LCD)是在两片平行的玻璃基板当中放置液晶层,下基板玻璃上设置薄膜晶体管(Thin Film Transistor,简称TFT),上基板玻璃上设置彩色滤光片,通过TFT上的信号与电压改变来控制液晶分子的转动方向,从而达到控制每个像素点偏振光出射与否而达到显示不同颜色的目的。
由于LCD本身并不会发光,即需要让用户看到LCD上的显示内容需要在LCD的背面提供背光光源,目前的常见的LCD的背光光源有两种,一种是采用冷阴极荧光灯管(Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp,简称CCFL)作为背光光源,CCFL的优势是色彩表现好,不足在于功耗较高;另一种是采用发光二极管(Light Emitting Diode,简称LED)作为背光光源,LED的优势是体积小、功耗低,因此用LED作为背光源,可以在兼顾轻薄的同时达到较高的亮度,其不足主要是色彩表现比CCFL差。但是随着LED技术的发展,这种差距正在缩小,而鉴于目前的移动终端设备对设备续航时间要求较高,因此绝大多数的移动终端设备均采用的LED光源。
另外,对于LCD来说,由于LCD的显示原理是透过改变驱动电压来改变液晶层穿透率达到不同的灰阶画素,即从一个灰阶转换到相邻的灰阶是需要一定的时间的,而衡量一个LCD的灰阶转换时间则是其最慢阶的转换时间,传统LCD的最慢阶的转换反应时间会高达30~40毫秒,造成的效果就是显示快速运动的物体会有明显的拖影;快速LCD的最慢阶的转换反应时间则能够降低到5~6毫秒,再搭配背光插黑技术将常亮型显示变成脉冲型显示即可有效降低拖影。
但是由于快速LCD的液晶层穿透率比传统的LCD低,必须要提高背光光源的功耗才能达到传统LCD的显示亮度。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供了一种液晶显示屏的背光功率控制方法及液晶显示屏来解决目前快速LCD的背光消耗高的问题。
本申请实施例的第一方面提供一种液晶显示屏的背光功率控制方法,该方法中,LCD首先会获取该LCD的LED脉冲宽度调制信号,接着对该LED脉冲宽度调制信号对应的待显示内容进行内容适应背光技术(Content Adaptive Brightness Control,简称CABC)处理得到该待显示内容的背光的背光降低比例,接着,按照该背光降低比例调整LED脉冲宽度调制信号的幅值或脉冲宽度之中的至少一个,使得调整后的LED脉冲宽度调制信号的脉冲宽 度与幅值的乘积为调整前的LED脉冲宽度调制信号的脉冲宽度与幅值乘积的背光降低比例;最后,LED背光光源会按照调整后的LED脉冲宽度调制信号发出背光,即按照该LED脉冲宽度调制信号的脉冲宽度和幅值发光。
可以看出,由于在LED脉冲宽度调制信号发出之前便按照计算出的背光降低比例对该LED脉冲宽度调制信号的宽度或幅值之中的至少一个进行调整,而背光按照比例降低则会带来功耗的降低,从而实现LED背光光源在按照该调整后的LED脉冲宽度调制信号发光的功耗比LED背光光源按照调整前的LED脉冲宽度调制信号发光的功耗要低,从而达到在相同的显示效果下降低背光功耗的目的。
在一些实施例中,在根据所述背光降低比例调整所述LED脉冲宽度调制信号的幅值或脉冲宽度中的至少一个之前,还会先获取对应所述背光降低比例的预设的脉冲宽度和预设的幅值。其中,所述预设的脉冲宽度为所述待显示内容对应的LED脉冲宽度调制信号的脉冲宽度的背光降低比例,所述预设的幅值为所述待显示内容对应的LED脉冲宽度调制信号的幅值的背光降低比例。针对背光降低比例设置预设的脉冲宽度和预设的幅值能够使得在对脉冲宽度或幅值中的至少一个进行调整时,能够作为调整参考值,使得调整更为便捷。
在一些实施例中,调整脉冲宽度和幅值中的一个的方式,即根据所述背光降低比例调整所述LED脉冲宽度调制信号的脉冲宽度或幅值。脉冲宽度调整具体可以是根据所述背光降低比例将所述LED脉冲宽度调制信号的脉冲宽度缩短为预设的脉冲宽度;幅值调整具体可以是根据所述背光降低比例将所述LED脉冲宽度调制信号的幅值减小为预设的幅值。可以看出,单调整脉冲宽度和幅值中的一个时,仅需直接调整至对应的预设的脉冲宽度或者幅值即可。能够实现快速调整,增强显示器背光功率控制方法的可实现性。
在一些实施例中,仅对脉冲宽度的调整还有另一种方式,即根据所述背光降低比例将所述LED脉冲宽度调制信号中的脉冲宽度调整为至少两个具有间隔的子脉冲宽度,所述至少两个子脉冲宽度的脉冲宽度之和为所述预设的脉冲宽度。此方式中,相当于用高频脉冲代替原本的LED脉冲宽度调制信号的脉冲,使得LED脉冲宽度调制信号的一个脉冲变为多个子脉冲,但是这些子脉冲的脉冲宽度之和为预设的脉冲宽度,同样能够达到调整后的LED脉冲宽度调制信号的脉冲宽度与幅值的乘积为调整前的LED脉冲宽度调制信号的脉冲宽度与幅值乘积的所述背光降低比例这一目的。
在一些实施例中,同时对脉冲宽度和幅值的调整可以是,根据所述背光降低比例缩短所述LED脉冲宽度调制信号的脉冲宽度至大于所述预设的脉冲宽度,并减小所述LED脉冲宽度调制信号的幅值至大于所述预设的幅值。即此方式中,同时将脉冲宽度和幅值的值变小,从而达到调整的脉冲宽度和幅值的乘积是调整前的脉冲宽度和幅值的乘积的背光降低比例。增强显示器背光功率控制方法的可实现性。
在一些实施例中,同时对脉冲宽度和幅值的调整还可以是,根据所述背光降低比例缩短所述LED脉冲宽度调制信号的脉宽至小于所述预设的脉冲宽度,并增加所述LED脉冲宽度调制信号的幅值。此方式中,是将脉冲宽度调整至小于预设的脉冲宽度,而为了使得调整的脉冲宽度和幅值的乘积是调整前的脉冲宽度和幅值的乘积的背光降低比例,则需要对幅值进行增加。能够增强显示器背光功率控制方法的可实现性。
在一些实施例中,同时对脉冲宽度和幅值的调整还可以是,根据所述背光降低比例减小所述LED脉冲宽度调制信号的幅值值小于所述预设的幅值,并增加所述LED脉冲宽度调制信号的脉冲宽度。此方式中,是将幅值调整至小于预设的幅值,而为了使得调整的脉冲宽度和幅值的乘积是调整前的脉冲宽度和幅值的乘积的背光降低比例,则需要对脉冲宽度进行增加。能够增强显示器背光功率控制方法的可实现性。
本申请实施例第二方面还提供一种液晶显示屏,该包括LCD面板,与所述LCD面板电连接的用于驱动所述LCD面板的LCD驱动集成电路(Integrated circuit,简称IC),所述LCD面板的背面还设有LED背光光源,所述LED背光光源上还连接有驱动所述LED背光光源的LED驱动IC,所述LCD驱动IC还与所述LED驱动IC相连接,其中,

具体实施方式
本申请实施例提供了一种液晶显示屏的背光功率控制方法及液晶显示屏来解决目前快速LCD的背光消耗高的问题。
为了使本技术领域的人员更好地理解本申请方案,下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例进行描述。
本申请的说明书和权利要求书及上述附图中的术语“第一”、“第二”、“第三”、“第四”等(如果存在)是用于区别类似的对象,而不必用于描述特定的顺序或先后次序。应该理解这样使用的数据在适当情况下可以互换,以便这里描述的实施例能够以除了在这里图示或描述的内容以外的顺序实施。此外,术语“包括”或“具有”及其任何变形,意图在于覆盖不排他的包含,例如,包含了一系列步骤或单元的过程、方法、系统、产品或设备不必限于清楚地列出的那些步骤或单元,而是可包括没有清楚地列出的或对于这些过程、方法、产品或设备固有的其它步骤或单元。
在虚拟现实(Virtual Reality,VR)领域,目前主要采用头显的方式,即在一个头显中通过设置一块或者两块显示屏分别向两眼显示不同的两幅图像,这两幅不同的图像均由该显示屏的显示芯片来驱动,两幅图像有细微的差别,该差别类似人的双眼视差,人眼到显示屏之间通过一个透镜产生一个放大的虚像来仿真,从而产生真实世界的沉浸感,具体,请参阅图1,图1是VR显示系统的示意图,人眼101到目镜102之间的距离为L1,目镜 102到显示屏103之间的距离为L2,人眼101到虚像面104的距离为L3,即人感知的人眼101前方的L3距离处产生的画面,其中该目镜102可以是菲涅尔透镜,又名螺纹透镜,多是由聚烯烃材料注压而成的薄片,也有玻璃制作的,镜片表面一面为光面,另一面刻录了由小到大的同心圆,它的纹理是根据光的干涉及扰射以及相对灵敏度和接收角度要求来设计的,能够解决普通凸透镜边角变暗、模糊的现象。
当戴有VR头显的人体头部向不同方向移动时,显示屏上会显示出移动过程中的变化的图像,例如,头部向左运动时,显示屏上会显示一个由左往右的动画仿真人眼在真实世界会看到的视觉画面变化。然而由于是运动甚至高速移动的画面,在传统的LCD上显示此类内容时,画面会有严重的拖影存在,会导致使用VR的用户产生晕眩和恶心的问题,所以VR头显一般来说采用是具有背光插黑技术的快速反应液晶显示器,其最慢阶的转换反应事件为5~6毫秒。如图2所示,图2是液晶显示屏中灰阶转换示意图,其中图中横坐标为时间,纵坐标为灰阶百分比,即若灰阶从黑到白有256阶,黑色为0%位置,白色为100%位置。图中的曲线表示液晶从灰阶N转换到灰阶M,再从灰阶M转换到灰阶N的过程,灰阶N图2中以Gray(N)表示,灰阶M图2中以Gray(M)表示,其中N小于M,N和M均是256阶灰阶中的一阶,Tr为灰阶N到灰阶M的反应时间,Tf为灰阶M到灰阶N的反应时间。
如图3所示是传统LCD和VR用的采用插黑技术的快速反应LCD显示高速运动画面的示意图,可以看出,传统LCD的拖影比较严重,而采用插黑技术的快速反应LCD的拖影几乎没有。其中,利用背光插黑技术可达到脉冲型,从而相比于常亮显示的拖影大大减小,具体可参见图4、图5a和图5b,图4是快速反应LCD使用插黑技术的示意图,图5a是无插黑常亮显示的示意图;图5b是有插黑脉冲显示的示意图;图4中,P1阶段表示背光关闭阶段,P2阶段表示背光开启阶段,P1阶段中的S1阶段是数据的扫描阶段,该阶段中,会确定每个像素需要显示的灰阶的电压;P1阶段中的S2阶段是在数据扫描完成后的液晶响应操作部分;在该部分中会按照数据扫描阶段的每个像素需要显示的灰阶电压将液晶转动至相应的角度。在完成这两部分操作之后,即可执行P2阶段开启背光进行显示;P1阶段加P2阶段即表示一帧的时长,可以看出每一帧画面包括背光关闭区段和背光开启区段,Vsync表示每一帧的同步,例如,背光开启区段的长度为一祯显示时间的十分之一。
可以看出,实际上数据扫描阶段和液晶响应阶段是不需要被用户看到的部分,即此部分可以不开启背光的情况下进行即可,而插黑技术则是采用此特点进行的。
图5a和图5b中每个小方格表示一个像素,图5a是无插黑的显示方式,图5b是采用50%插黑的显示方式,对比图5a和图5b中可以看出,在同一帧的情况下,无插黑常亮显示的拖影长度有4个像素,而采用50%插黑的脉冲显示方式的拖影长度仅有2个像素。
另外,对于传统的LCD来说,降低LCD的背光功耗还有环境光侦测适应背光控制(Light Adaptive Brightness Control,简称LABC)和CABC两种方式,亮度自适应通常用于适应环境光,在VR系统的情况下基本用不到,CABC技术是通过识别内容,并根据内容对背光进行控制。
其中,CABC动态背光调节的是根据具体显示的内容来调整背光。通过对待显示的内 容进行分析,将背光亮度降低,同时为了保证显示的内容与未进行CABC调整之前的效果基本相同,则需要调整内容中灰阶的穿透率来进行亮度补偿。对于液晶显示屏来说,人眼感受到的液晶显示屏的显示亮度是由LED背光光源的发光亮度乘以灰阶的穿透率得到的。其中某一级灰阶的穿透率即该级灰阶对应的电压。
举例来说,LED背光光源的亮度为1000单位,X级灰阶的穿透率为60%,该X的取值为0到255之间,则最终液晶显示屏的显示亮度为600单位。若通过CABC计算发现背光可以降低到80%,即背光变为800单位,而为了使得最终的显示亮度仍然为600单位,则需要对X级灰阶的穿透率进行调整,如穿透率调整为75%(实际是对电压的调整),则最终液晶显示屏的显示亮度为800单位乘以75%,仍然为600单位。从而达到在不损失显示亮度的情况下,降低LED背光光源的发光亮度。
在使用CABC时,需要在LCD驱动IC上增加内容分析的功能,增加该功能可以通过软件实现也可以通过在LCD驱动IC中增加特定的内容分析电路实现内容分析的功能。CABC的具体工作过程如下:
首先由应用处理器向LCD驱动IC发送待显示内容(例如图片数据),由内容分析功能分析该图片数据,并按照一定的规则确定出背光降低比例。该规则例如分析该图片数据中,暗色或者黑色部分的比例超过一定比例,则将背光降低比例设为一个固定的值;当然该规则可以在设计内容分析功能或电路时预先设定的,此外,在该LCD驱动IC中,还存储有背光降低比例与灰阶的穿透率调整的对应关系。接着,在确定出背光降低比例后,便按照背光降低比例与灰阶的穿透率调整的对应关系进行灰阶的穿透率调整,最后LCD驱动IC驱动LCD面板以该调整后的灰阶的穿透率显示待显示的内容,并且LCD驱动IC驱动LCD的背光光源按照背光降低比例降低背光亮度,使得最终显示的图片的效果与进行CABC之前的图片的效果基本上是相同的。而由于降低了背光光源的亮度,能够降低电量消耗。因此,这种CABC技术适合用在采用电池作为电源的移动设备上。
由于快速反应液晶显示屏的特点决定其背光功耗会比较高,为了解决此问题,本申请实施例提供了一种快速反应液晶显示屏的背光功率控制方法即液晶显示屏来解决背光功耗会比较高的问题。首先对本申请的液晶显示屏的架构进行说明,请参阅图6,图6是本申请实施例的液晶显示屏显示屏的架构示意图。该液晶显示屏的包括LCD面板和设置在LCD面板背面的LED背光光源,其中,LCD面板上连接有LCD驱动IC,LED背光光源连接有驱动该LED背光光源的LED驱动IC,LCD驱动IC还连接至LED驱动IC。此液晶显示屏的具体工作过程可以是,LCD驱动IC接收待显示内容,LCD驱动IC产生PWM信号,接着将该PWM信号发送至LED驱动IC,LED驱动IC根据该PWM信号驱动LED发光。
需要说明的是,LED驱动IC和LCD驱动IC可以设置在不同的功能模块上,具体的,可参阅图7,图7是是本申请实施例的液晶显示屏显示屏的架构示意图,其中,主板部分上设有MPU或者CPU,以及LED驱动IC,该LED驱动IC可以是WLED(white LED)驱动IC,而LCD模组上则设有LCD面板、LCD驱动IC以及设置在LCD面板背面的多个LED,当然,这些LED也可以是WLED。该具体工作过程可以是MPU或者CPU向LCD驱动IC发送待显示的内容,接着LCD驱动IC一方面生成PWM信号发送给LED驱动IC, 另一方面LCD驱动IC还会按照待显示内容向LCD面板输出,接着,LED驱动IC在接收PWM信号后,同时会调整向LED输入的电流,使得LED发光。
下面对本申请实施例的液晶显示屏的背光功率控制方法,本申请实施例的液晶显示屏的背光功率控制方法可用于图6或者图7所示的液晶显示屏架构中。下面以基于图6所示架构为例,对本申请实施例的液晶显示屏的背光功率控制方法进行说明。请参阅图8,图8是本申请实施例的液晶显示屏的背光功率控制方法的一个实施例图,该方法可包括:
801、LCD驱动IC获取所述LCD的LED脉冲宽度调制信号。
其中,该液晶显示屏中采用了插黑技术,因此输出至LED背光光源的LED信号是LED脉冲宽度调制信号,该脉冲宽度调制信号的脉冲宽度即在一帧的时长中背光开启的时长。
其中,PWM是对逆变电路开关器件的通断进行控制,使输出端得到一系列幅值相等的脉冲控制方式。若不改变幅值的情况下按一定的规则对PWM信号的各脉冲的宽度进行调制,即调整脉冲的占空比即可改变逆变电路输出电压的大小,当然脉冲宽度的调整也可以改变PWM信号的输出频率。
采用PWM技术进行LED调光的方式是通过周期性地开启和关闭LED来改变正向电流的导通时间来控制LED的亮暗时间;由于人眼感知的亮度是一个累积过程,即在一个周期内,LED亮的时间在整个周期中所占的比例越大,人眼会感觉越亮。如果LED亮暗的频率超过100Hz,那么人眼看到的就是平均亮度,而不是LED在闪烁,此时在幅值不变的情况下,对脉冲宽度进行调整时,增大脉冲宽度便会使得人眼感觉亮度增加,反之,则会感觉亮度减小。采用PWM调光的液晶显示屏的LED背光光源的工作频率一般在200Hz-1000Hz左右,由于PWM发光的本质是“亮-灭-亮-灭”的过程,相当于可见光在对人眼进行一定频率的闪烁冲击,当PWM频率越高,即闪烁的频率越高,对人眼对冲击的感知越弱;同时亮度越高,也可以减少人眼对这种闪烁式冲击的感知。
可见,PWM调光方式区别于通过改变LED的电流大小以改变LED亮度的线性调光方式,PWM调光只是使得LED不连续工作,从而可以在不改变电流大小的情况下便能改变LED亮度。
需要说明的是,对于LCD来说,由于刷新率的不同,一帧的时长也不尽相同,例如LCD的刷新率设为60hz,表示一秒钟重绘60次LCD上显示的图像,此时的一帧的时长则是1/60秒,同理,若LCD的刷新率为90hz,则表示一秒钟重绘90次LCD上显示的图像,此时一帧的时长则变为1/90秒。当然,对于VR领域来说,刷新率越高越好,低刷新率的情况下,如60hz看到的画面会出现明显的闪烁不稳定的情况,而这种情况加上场景随视角移动会出现眼部难受晕眩等症状。对于本申请实施例中的LCD来说,刷新率可以是超过90hz的LCD,能够有效降低上述症状。
802、LCD驱动IC采用CABC算法确定背光降低比例。
其中,该背光降低比例为LED脉冲宽度调制信号对应的待显示内容的背光的背光降低比例,该CABC技术能够根据待显示的内容实时调整背光降低比例,下面进行说明举例来说,请参阅图9,图9是采用CABC动态背光调节显示内容的示意图。其中,第一图像901为原始图片,第二图像903为内容分析后发现可以降低30%背光亮度,将灰阶的穿透率进 行相应的调整为原本的10/7;第一背光亮度902是原始的背光亮度,第二背光亮度903则是经过内容分析后,发现能将背光亮度调暗30%后的背光亮度,第三图像905即结合灰阶穿透率的调整为原本的10/7以及将背光亮度调整为第二背光亮度903时最终在液晶显示屏上显示的图像,第三图像905的显示效果与第一图像901的显示效果基本相同。
需要说明的是,30%功耗的降低对应灰阶调高30%是示意性的,30%功耗的降低并不一定对应该图片的灰阶调高30%,实际情况中会以该图像的实际内容来确定灰阶调高比例,同理,对于LED背光光源来说,功耗降低30%对应背光亮度调暗30%也是示意性的,而实际上功耗降低30%也不一定对应到背光亮度调暗30%,具体调暗的比例依LED背光光源的不同而不同。
803、LCD驱动IC根据背光降低比例调整LED脉冲宽度调制信号的幅值或脉冲宽度之中的至少一个。
其中,在通过CABC技术获取了待显示内容的背光的背光降低比例后,便可以根据该比例调整LED脉冲宽度调制信号的幅值或脉冲宽度之中的至少一个,并且,使得调整后的LED脉冲宽度调制信号的脉冲宽度与幅值的乘积为调整前的LED脉冲宽度调制信号的脉冲宽度与幅值乘积的背光降低比例。即,若背光降低比例为70%,即背光降低为原背光的70%,此时,调整后的LED脉冲宽度调制信号的脉冲宽度与幅值乘积为调整前的LED脉冲宽度调制信号的脉冲宽度与幅值的乘积的70%。其中,脉冲宽度实际上背光点亮的时长,而幅值实际上是背光点亮时的电流值,即该乘积在物理上为电流与时间的乘积。
需要说明的是,该CABC调整的最小时长单位可以是一个帧的时长,而液晶显示屏获取的待发送的LED脉冲宽度调制信号则是包括连续至少一个帧的LED脉冲宽度调制信号。即相当于在一个LED脉冲宽度调制信号上的不同帧可以采用不同的CABC调整,从而达到根据待显示的内容实时调整背光降低比例的作用。
可选的,液晶显示屏内还设置与背光降低比例对应的预设的脉冲宽度和预设的幅值,该预设的脉冲宽度和预设的幅值有多种获取方式,如该预设的脉冲宽度和预设的幅值直接存储在LED驱动IC上,当然,也可以存储在LED驱动IC能够读取数据的存储器上,具体的方式并不作限定。该预设的脉冲宽度为所述待显示内容对应的LED脉冲宽度调制信号的脉冲宽度的背光降低比例;即,相当于仅调整脉冲宽度使得脉冲宽度与幅值的乘积达到背光降低比例;该预设的阈值为所述预设的幅值为所述待显示内容对应的LED脉冲宽度调制信号的幅值的背光降低比例,即,相当于仅调整幅值使得脉冲宽度与幅值的乘积达到背光降低比例。
在具有预设的脉冲宽度和预设的幅值的基础上,液晶显示屏根据所述背光降低比例调整LED脉冲宽度调制信号的幅值和/或脉冲宽度的方式可以有如下几类,下面分别进行说明。
第一类,仅对脉冲宽进行调整。此种方式中具有两类不同的情形,第一种情形是将脉冲宽度缩短。第二种是通过比LED脉冲宽度调制信号更高频有间距的至少两个子脉冲代替原本的一个脉冲。下面进行说明:
第一种,将脉冲宽度缩短。此时,步骤803可变为根据背光降低比例将LED脉冲宽度 调制信号的脉冲宽度缩短为预设的脉冲宽度。即,直接按照背光降低比例仅将脉冲宽度缩短为预设的脉冲宽度即可,而不调整幅值。具体可参见图10和图11,图10是本申请实施例的液晶显示屏的背光功率控制方法的一个实施例图,图11是本申请实施例的液晶显示屏的背光功率控制方法的一个实施例图,其中该图10和图11均表示两帧的时长的脉冲波形图,两图中均以背光降低比例为70%为例,横坐标为时间,纵坐标为电流;其中实线表示调整后的LED脉冲宽度调制信号,虚线则表示调整前的LED脉冲宽度调制信号;图10和图11的区别在于实际的调整方式略有不同,图10中是将脉冲的上升沿固定,将下降沿提前,从而达到脉冲宽度和幅值的乘积为调整前的脉冲宽度和幅值的乘积的70%;而图11中则将下降沿固定,而将上升沿滞后,同样能够实现脉冲宽度和幅值的乘积为调整前的脉冲宽度和幅值的乘积的70%。
第二种,通过比LED脉冲宽度调制信号更高频有间距的至少两个子脉冲代替原本的一个脉冲。步骤603可变为根据所述背光降低比例将所述LED脉冲宽度调制信号中的脉冲宽度调整为至少两个具有间隔的子脉冲宽度,并且所述至少两个子脉冲宽度的脉冲宽度之和为所述预设的脉冲宽度。相当于至少两个子脉冲的宽度的宽度之和为调整前的LED脉冲宽度调制信号的脉冲宽度的70%。具体可参见图12,图12是本申请实施例的液晶显示屏的背光功率控制方法的一个实施例图,其中该图12表示两帧的时长的脉冲波形图,图12中均以背光降低比例为70%为例,横坐标为时间,纵坐标为电流;图12下方为第一帧的脉冲的放大示意图,其中实线表示调整后的LED脉冲宽度调制信号,虚线则表示调整前的LED脉冲宽度调制信号;可以看出,通过将一个脉冲调整为多个幅值相同的子脉冲,这些子脉冲的间距并不限定,只要这些子脉冲的脉冲宽度之和达到调整前的LED脉冲宽度调制信号的脉冲宽度的70%即可,即可达到这些子脉冲的脉冲宽度和幅值的乘积并累加的结果为调整前的脉冲宽度和幅值的乘积的70%。
第二类,仅对幅值进行调整。此时,步骤603可变为根据背光降低比例将LED脉冲宽度调制信号的幅值减小为预设的幅值。即,直接按照背光降低比例将幅值减小为预设的幅值即可,而不调整脉冲宽度。具体可参见图13,图13是本申请实施例的液晶显示屏的背光功率控制方法的一个实施例图,其中该图13表示两帧的时长的脉冲波形图,图13中均以背光降低比例为70%为例,横坐标为时间,纵坐标为电流;其中实线表示调整后的LED脉冲宽度调制信号,虚线则表示调整前的LED脉冲宽度调制信号;可以看出,直接将幅值减小为70%,即可达到脉冲宽度和幅值的乘积为调整前的脉冲宽度和幅值的乘积的70%。
第三类,同时对脉冲宽度和幅值进行调整,将两种同时调整时,会有三种不同的情形,第一种是调整后的脉冲宽度大于预设的脉冲宽度且调整后的幅值大于预设的幅值。第二种是调整后的脉冲宽度小于预设的脉冲宽度且调整后的幅值相对调整前的幅值有增加。第三种是调整后的脉冲宽度相对于调整前的脉冲宽度有增加且调整后的幅值小于预设的幅值。
需要说明的是,从第一类和第二类中的各种情形可以发现,不论是调整前的还是调整后的脉冲宽度与幅值的乘积实际上表示脉冲的面积。调整前和调整后的面积的比例直接与背光降低比例相对应,例如,背光降低比例为70%,实际上是将调整前的LED脉冲宽度调制信号的一个脉冲的面积减小为原来的的70%。在此方式的基础上,可以从而该面积的两 个维度来调整,即脉冲宽度和幅值。因此,第三类情况中的三种情形中,第一种是在原本的基础上通过将脉冲宽度和幅值均调小的方式,使得面积满足为调整前的70%的需求,第二种则是在原本的基础上缩短脉冲宽度并增加幅值使得面积满足为调整前的70%的需求。第三种则是在原本的基础上增加脉冲宽度并减小幅值使得面积满足为调整前的70%的需求。
804、LCD驱动IC向LED驱动IC输出调整后的LED脉冲宽度调制信号。
可以理解的是,LED驱动IC在完成了LED脉冲宽度调制信号的调整后,会将该调整后的LED脉冲宽度调制信号发送给LED驱动IC,使得LED驱动IC驱动LED背光光源发光。
805、LED驱动IC根据调整后的LED脉冲宽度调制信号控制LED背光光源发光。
可以理解的是,LED驱动IC在接收到调整后的LED脉冲宽度调制信号后,会根据该调整后的LED脉冲宽度调制信号向LED背光光源按照调整后的LED脉冲宽度调制信号的脉冲进行供电,使得LED背光光源根据调整后的LED脉冲宽度调制信号发出背光。
806、LED背光光源根据调整后的LED脉冲宽度调制信号发出背光。
其中,在完成LED脉冲宽度调制信号的调整后,即可将该LED脉冲宽度调制信号发送至LED背光光源,由LED背光光源根据该调整后LED脉冲宽度调制信号发出背光,从而使得LCD显示出的待显示内容与根据调整前的LED脉冲宽度调制信号发出背光显示出的待显示内容的效果基本一致,即图像显示质量的损失在预设的可接受的范围内。
此外,需要说明的是,图8所示实施例是采用本申请实施例的背光功率控制方法的液晶显示屏的一种实现方式,本申请实施例的液晶显示屏中,除了采用图6或者图7所示的液晶显示屏架构,LCD驱动IC通过CABC算法确定背光降低比例,并对LED脉冲宽度调制信号进行调整之外,还可以单独设计一块调整IC,请参阅图10,图10所示是本申请实施例的IC连接示意图,其中,该调整IC位于LCD驱动IC与LED驱动IC之间,在液晶显示屏工作时,首先由LCD驱动IC产生LED脉冲宽度调制信号,调整IC接收到该LED脉冲宽度调制信号的同时,会通过CABC算法确定背光降低比例,然后对该LED脉冲宽度调制信号的脉冲宽度和幅值进行调整,得到调整后的LED脉冲宽度调制信号,再将其发送到LED驱动IC。
需要说明的是,该调整IC可以是专门为CABC算法以及调整LED脉冲宽度调制信号设计的芯片,也可以是另一个LCD驱动IC,该LCD驱动IC能接收前一个LCD驱动IC发出的LED脉冲宽度调制信号。
