Description

背光控制方法和装置
本申请要求于2015年1月8日提交中国专利局、申请号为201510009475.1的中国专利申请的优先权,以及2014年12月31日提交中国专利局、申请号为201410856892.5的中国专利申请的优先权,以上全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本公开涉及屏幕显示技术领域,特别涉及一种背光控制方法和装置。
背景技术
内容对应背光控制(英文:Content Adaptive Brightness Control;简称:CABC)技术是一种用于具有液晶显示(英文:Liquid Crystal Display;简称:LCD)屏幕的终端中的背光省电技术。
CABC技术可以根据屏幕显示的图像来调整该图像的灰阶值与屏幕背光亮度之间的关系,在有效降低屏幕背光亮度的同时,基本保持图像的显示效果。比如,将图像的灰阶值提高30%使得图像变亮,并将LCD屏幕的背光亮度降低30%使得图像变暗,这样就可以使得图像所呈现的亮度在处理前后基本保持一致,但减少了30%的背光功耗。
然而,当图像中有高灰阶值的像素(如白色像素)时,若采用CABC技术对该图像进行处理,则这部分高灰阶值的像素的灰阶值已无法提高,而其它低灰阶值的像素(如黑色像素)的灰阶值可以提高,就会导致图像对比度大幅降低,严重影响图像显示效果。

当终端的屏幕中设置有一个显示区块时,该一个显示区块通常用于显示一幅完整图像。当然,本实施例并不限定其它可能的实施方式。比如,该一个显示区块也可用于显示一幅完整图像中的部分;或者,该一个显示区块也可用于显示多幅完整图像,等等。
当终端的屏幕中设置有多个显示区块时,该多个显示区块通常用于显示一幅完整图像,且每一个显示区块用于显示一幅完整图像中的部分。当然,本实施例并不限定其它可能的实施方式。比如,该多个显示区块也可用于显示多幅完整图像,每一个或多个显示区块用于显示一幅完成图像,等等。当终端的屏幕中设置有多个显示区块时,对于每一个显示区块,分别采用本实施例提供的背光控制方法对该显示区块的背光亮度进行控制。
对于屏幕中的每一个显示区块,终端获取该显示区块所需显示的图像中各像素的灰阶值。在一种可能的实施方式中,终端可对图像中各像素的灰阶值进行直方图统计,统计每个灰阶值对应的像素数量。如图3B所示,在直方图30中,横轴31表示灰阶值,纵轴32表示像素数量。
另外,屏幕中的显示区块所需显示的图像可以是图片,也可以是视频,本实施例对此不作限定。
在步骤302中,根据各像素的灰阶值获取预定数量的最大灰阶值中的最小值。
其中,预定数量为预先设定的经验值。当对图像进行对比度无损的CABC处理时,设置预定数量为1。当对图像进行允许少量像素的对比度损伤的CABC处理时,设置预定数量大于1,如5、10、15等。但是,为了确保图像对比度和质量,预定数量不宜过大。预定数量越大,表示在对图像进行CABC处理时,所允许的对比度损伤越大,不利于图像显示质量和显示效果。
当预定数量为1时,本步骤即获取图像中各像素的灰阶值的最大值。比如,以图像中各像素的灰阶值由大到小依次为255、255、255、254、254、252、252……为例,当预定数量为1时,本步骤获取的灰阶值即为255。
当预定数量大于1时,以预定数量为5,且图像中各像素的灰阶值由大到小依次为255、255、255、254、254、252、252……为例,本步骤获取的灰阶值即为254。
在步骤303中,当该最小值达到灰阶值阈值时,控制各像素的灰阶值保持不变,并控制该显示区块的背光亮度保持最大背光亮度。
也即,当该最小值达到灰阶值阈值时,说明图像中存在一些高灰阶值的像素(如白色像素),此时终端不对图像进行CABC处理,以确保图像对比度。其中,灰阶值阈值为预先设定的经验值。灰阶值阈值的大小与屏幕有关。比如,当屏幕为8bit面板时,屏幕所能显示的灰阶值区间为0至255,则灰阶值阈值可设定为250等接近于最大灰阶值255的数值。再比如,当屏幕为10bit面板时,屏幕所能显示的灰阶值区间为0至1023,则灰阶值阈值可设定为1000等接近于最大灰阶值1023的数值。
可选的,当该最小值达到灰阶值阈值时,向背光驱动IC发送占空比为100%的PWM 信号,该占空比为100%的PWM信号用于指示背光驱动IC控制显示区块的背光亮度保持最大背光亮度。
另外,当该最小值未达到灰阶值阈值时,终端对图像进行CABC处理,以节省背光功耗。在一种可能的实施方式中,终端可执行如下步骤304至步骤306:
在步骤304中,当该最小值未达到灰阶值阈值时,获取该最小值所处的灰阶值子区间。
终端可预先将屏幕对应的灰阶值区间[0,Pmax]划分为M个灰阶值子区间,该M个灰阶值子区间中灰阶值最大的灰阶值子区间为[P0,Pmax]。其中,P0为灰阶值阈值,Pmax为屏幕所能显示的最大灰阶值,0<P0≤Pmax,M≥2且M为整数。
在一种可能的实施方式中,该划分过程可包括如下几个步骤:
1、获取与屏幕对应的灰阶值区间[0,Pmax]。
与屏幕对应的灰阶值区间[0,Pmax]是指屏幕所能显示的最小灰阶值与屏幕所能显示的最大灰阶值所构成的区间。比如,当屏幕为8bit面板时,该屏幕对应的灰阶值区间为[0,255]。再比如,当屏幕为10bit面板时,该屏幕对应的灰阶值区间为[0,1023]。
2、将灰阶值区间[0,Pmax]分成M个灰阶值子区间,M≥2且M为整数。
其中,划分方式可以是等分方式,也可以是非等分方式。
在第一种可能的实施方式中,采用等分方式将灰阶值区间[0,Pmax]分成M个灰阶值子区间,每个灰阶值子区间对应的最大灰阶值与最小灰阶值之间的差值相等。比如,将灰阶值区间[0,255]等分成32个灰阶值子区间,该32个灰阶值子区间依次为[0,7]、[8,15]、…、[8i,8i+7]、…、[240,247]、[248,255]。
在第二种可能的实施方式中,采用非等分方式将灰阶值区间[0,Pmax]分成M个灰阶值子区间。其中,第i+1个灰阶值子区间[P(i+1)min,P(i+1)max]对应的最大灰阶值与最小灰阶值之间的差值P(i+1)max-P(i+1)min大于或者等于第i个灰阶值子区间[P(i)min,P(i)max]对应的最大灰阶值与最小灰阶值之间的差值P(i)max-P(i)min,P(i+1)min=P(i)max+1,1≤i≤M-1且i为整数。换句话说,当采用非等分方式时,低阶部分的灰阶值子区间分布适当密集,而中高阶部分的灰阶值子区间分布适当稀疏,原因在于低阶部分对灰阶调整更为敏感。比如,将灰阶值区间[0,255]分成30个灰阶值子区间,该30个灰阶值子区间依次为[0,5]、[6,11]、…、[130,138]、…、[245,255]。
3、分别为每一个灰阶值子区间设置对应的占空比,并保存灰阶值子区间与占空比之间的对应关系。
为了指导背光驱动IC对背光亮度进行控制,预先分别为每一个灰阶值子区间设置对应的占空比。其中,占空比的大小与灰阶值的大小呈正相关关系,且占空比的大小与背光亮度呈正相关关系。另外,灰阶值最大的灰阶值子区间[P0,Pmax]对应的占空比为100%。比如,将灰阶值区间[0,255]分成30个灰阶值子区间,该30个灰阶值子区间的灰阶值依次增大,第1个灰阶值子区间对应的占空比为40%,第30个灰阶值子区间对应的占空比为100%,且各个灰阶值子区间对应的占空比随序号增加而依次增加。
终端根据各像素的灰阶值获取预定数量的最大灰阶值中的最小值后,获取该最小值所处的灰阶值子区间。当该最小值所处的灰阶值子区间为上述灰阶值最大的灰阶值子区间[P0,Pmax]时,也即说明该最小值达到灰阶值阈值。当该最小值所处的灰阶值子区间不是[P0,Pmax]时,也即说明该最小值未达到灰阶值阈值。
如图3C所示,其示出了一种灰阶值分布的示意图33。其中,横轴34表示灰阶值子区间的序号,随着序号的增加灰阶值依次增大;纵轴35表示像素数量。以将灰阶值区间[0,255]分成30个灰阶值子区间为例,当上述最小值为255时,可确定其所处的灰阶值子区间为第30个灰阶值子区间(比如该第30个灰阶值子区间为[245,255])。如图3D所示,其示出了另一种灰阶值分布的示意图36。当上述最小值为187时,可确定其所处的灰阶值子区间为第22个灰阶值子区间(比如该第22个灰阶值子区间为[182,190])。
在步骤305中,根据预设对应关系获取与灰阶值子区间对应的占空比。
其中,预设对应关系包括不同的灰阶值子区间与不同的占空比之间的对应关系,该预设对应关系即为通过上述步骤3预先设置并保存的对应关系。比如,上述第30个灰阶值子区间[245,255]对应的占空比为100%。再比如,第22个灰阶值子区间[182,190]对应的占空比为80%。
在步骤306中,向背光驱动IC发送具有上述占空比的PWM信号,该PWM信号用于指示背光驱动IC根据该占空比控制上述显示区块的背光亮度。
占空比的大小与背光亮度呈正相关关系。比如,当向背光驱动IC发送占空比为100%的PWM信号时,该占空比为100%的PWM信号用于指示背光驱动IC控制显示区块的背光亮度保持最大背光亮度。再比如,当向背光驱动IC发送占空比为80%的PWM信号时,该占空比为80%的PWM信号用于指示背光驱动IC控制显示区块的背光亮度变为最大背光亮度的80%。
另外,当PWM信号的占空比为100%时,终端控制图像的灰阶值保持不变。当PWM信号的占空比小于100%时,终端增加图像的灰阶值,使得图像的灰阶值的增加与背光亮度的减弱达到平衡,使得图像所呈现的亮度在处理前后基本保持一致。这样,当终端所需显示的图像中不存在高灰阶值的像素(如白色像素)时,采用CABC技术对图像进行处理,可以达到节省背光功耗的效果;当终端所需显示的图像中存在高灰阶值的像素(如白色像素)时,不采用CABC技术对图像进行处理,保证了图像对比度和显示效果。
另外,当设置预定数量为1时,当图像中有一个高灰阶值的像素(如白色像素)时,即输出占空比为100%的PWM信号以指示背光驱动IC控制背光亮度保持最大背光亮度,完全避免了对比度损伤。
需要说明的一点是:终端在根据各像素的灰阶值获取预定数量的最大灰阶值中的最小值后,可不必将该最小值与灰阶值阈值进行比较,终端可直接执行上述步骤304以获取该最小值所处的灰阶值子区间,进而根据该获取的灰阶值子区间对应的占空比决策是否对图像进行CABC处理。
还需要说明的一点是:在实际应用中,对屏幕所能显示的灰阶值进行划分时,划分方式和划分数量可根据实际需求进行设定,上述例子进行示例性和解释性的。另外,在实际应用中,也可根据实际需求设定不同灰阶值子区间对应的占空比,上述举例仅是示例性和解释性的。

另外,本实施例提供的背光控制方法,当图像中不存在高灰阶值的像素(如白色像素)时,采用CABC技术对图像进行处理;当图像中存在高灰阶值的像素(如白色像素)时,不采用CABC技术对图像进行处理。上述动态控制的方式既可以达到节省背光功耗的效果,又保证了图像对比度和显示效果。
另外,本实施例提供的背光控制方法,还通过将屏幕所能显示的灰阶值区间划分为若干个灰阶值子区间,并为每一个灰阶值子区间设置对应的PWM信号占空比,可以简化计算和处理流程,提高背光控制效率。
