Display panel and display terminal

[0001] This is a continuation-in-part application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 17/780,544 which is a US National Stage Application of International Patent Application NO. PCT/CN2022/080872, filed on Mar. 15, 2022, which claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202210202387.3 filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) on Mar. 3, 2022, disclosures of which are incorporated by reference in their entireties.

[0002] The present disclosure relates to the display field, for example, a display panel and a display terminal.

[0003] With the development of science and technology and the increasing requirement for products, the full-screen product with a high screen-to-body ratio has become a promising development trend of smartphones, and therefore, a technology of under-panel camera (or camera under-panel) is particularly important.

[0004] However, in a conventional display panel having the under-panel camera, since film layer structures stacked in an under-panel camera area are less than film layer structures stacked in an active area (or a main display area) in order to ensure the transmittance of the under-panel camera area in the panel, the heat dissipation effect of the under-panel camera area is superior to that of the active area. However, the performance of a thin film transistor varies with different temperatures. For example, as the ambient temperature of the thin film transistor increases, the performance of the thin film transistor in the active area deteriorates greatly because the heat dissipation effect of the under-panel camera area is superior to that of the active area, resulting in the luminance of the active area being lower than that of the under-panel camera area, thereby reducing the display uniformity of the display panel.

[0005] The present disclosure provides a display panel and a display terminal.

[0006] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display panel.

[0007] The display panel includes sub-pixels in a first region, sub-pixels in a second region, and a processor.

[0008] The processor is configured to determine a luminance compensation signal based on a difference between a first operating temperature of the first region and a second operating temperature of the second region according to a predetermined correlation of temperature to luminance; and control data lines and gate lines associated with the first region or the second region to output the luminance compensation signal to the first region or the second region through the data lines associated with the first region or the second region, to compensate luminance of the first region or the second region.

[0009] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display terminal.

[0010] The display terminal includes a temperature detection unit, a display panel, and a processor.

[0011] The display panel includes sub-pixels in a first region and sub-pixels in a second region.

[0012] The temperature detection unit is disposed on the display panel and is configured to detect a first operating temperature of the first region and a second operating temperature of the second region;

[0013] The processor is configured to determine a luminance compensation signal based on a difference between the first operating temperature of the first region and the second operating temperature of the second region according to a predetermined correlation of temperature to luminance; and control data lines and gate lines associated with the first region or the second region to output the luminance compensation signal to the first region or the second region through the data lines associated with the first region or the second region, to compensate luminance of the first region or the second region.

[0024] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and effects of the present disclosure clearer and more specific, the present disclosure will be described in further below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely intended to explain the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0025] Due to the difference between a structure of an under-panel camera area and a structure of an active area in a conventional display panel, the heat dissipation effect of the under-panel camera area is better than that of the active area, that is, the performance of a thin film transistor in the active area is deteriorated greatly, which causes the luminance of the active area to be lower than that of the under-panel camera area. Specifically, referring to a graph shown in FIG. 1, a curve A shows a change curve of the luminance of the active area with the time, and a curve B shows a change curve of the luminance of the under-panel camera area with the time. When an operating temperature is 40° C., the luminance difference between the active area and the under-panel camera area is small, and as the temperature increases, the luminance difference between the active area and the under-panel display area gradually increases. When the operating temperature is 40° C., the luminance difference between the active area and the under-panel camera area reaches 27 nits. Therefore, the following technical solutions are provided to solve the above technical problems.

[0026] Referring to FIG. 2, the present disclosure provides a method for adjusting luminance of a display panel, which includes:

• • [0027] S10: obtaining a first luminance parameter of a first region of a target panel 100 and a second luminance parameter of a second region of the target panel 100;
  • [0028] S20: when a first difference value between the first luminance parameter and the second luminance parameter is greater than or equal to a first threshold value, obtaining a first operating temperature of the first region of the target panel 100 and a second operating temperature of the second region of the target panel 100;
  • [0029] S30: when a second difference value between the first operating temperature and the second operating temperature is greater than or equal to a second threshold value, obtaining a correlation of luminance to temperature, and a luminance compensation parameter of the first region or the second region according to the second difference value and the correlation of the luminance to the temperature;
  • [0030] S40: compensating the luminance of a corresponding first region or the luminance of a corresponding second region according to the luminance compensation parameter of the first region or the luminance compensation parameter of the second region.

[0031] In the present disclosure, the luminance of a target region is compensated by measuring the temperature difference value of different regions in the target panel 100 and based on the correlation between the temperature and the luminance, so that the luminance of the target panel 100 is the same in different regions, and the display uniformity of the target panel 100 is ensured.

[0032] It should be noted that for the luminance difference between the different regions, the luminance of the high luminance region may be negatively compensated according to the luminance difference, that is, the luminance of the high luminance region is reduced, or the luminance of the low luminance region may be positively compensated according to the luminance difference. However, since the display luminance of the display panel has a certain decay over time, the embodiment of the present disclosure will be described by taking the case where the luminance of the low luminance region is positively compensated according to the luminance difference as an example.

[0033] It should be noted that, referring to FIG. 3, the target panel 100 may include a functional addition area 300 and an active area 200 on a periphery of the functional addition area 300. The functional addition area 300 may be an under-panel camera area or other functional areas requiring high light transmittance. The present disclosure is described by taking the under-panel camera area as an example.

[0034] It should be noted that the first region and the second region may be any region of the target panel 100, for example, the first region and the second region may both be in the active area 200 of the target panel 100, or the first region and the second region may both be in the functional addition area 300 of the target panel 100, or the first region may be in the active area 200 of the target panel 100, and the second region may be in the functional addition area 300 of the target panel 100.

[0035] It should be noted that, although there is a temperature difference in the active area 200, since the difference between various film layer structures in the active area 200 is small, the temperature difference between different regions in the active area is small. Therefore, in the following embodiment(s), as an example for description, the first region is the active area 200, and the second region is the functional addition area 300.

[0036] It should be noted that, light emitted by the organic light emitting display panel is determined by the magnitude of the current passing through the light emitting device, and the calculation formula (1-1) of the magnitude of the current is as follows:

[0037] $\begin{array}{cc}I=\frac{1}{2}{\mu }_n{C}_{\mathrm{ox}}\frac{W}{L}{\left(V_{\mathrm{data}}-V_{\mathrm{power}}-V_{\mathrm{th}}\right)}^2& \left(1-1\right)\end{array}$

[0038] Due to the variation of the operating temperatures in the display panel, Vth of the active area and Vth of the under-panel camera area are varied. In order to ensure the uniformity of the luminance of the active area and the under-panel camera area without considering the luminance difference caused by the sub-pixel arrangement, it is necessary to satisfy the formula (1-2):

[0039] $\begin{array}{cc}{V}_{\mathrm{datacup}}-V_{\mathrm{thcup}}=V_{\mathrm{dataAA}}-V_{\mathrm{thAA}}& \left(1-2\right)\end{array}$

[0040] That is, an input voltage of a data line is adjusted to eliminate the luminance difference between the active area and the under-panel camera area caused by Vth.

[0041] In addition, formula (1-2) may be written as follows:

[0042] $\begin{array}{cc}{V}_{\mathrm{data}\_\mathrm{offset}}=V_{\mathrm{datacup}}-V_{\mathrm{dataAA}}=V_{\mathrm{thcup}}-V_{\mathrm{thAA}}& \left(1-3\right)\end{array}$

[0043] Since Vth is greatly affected by the temperature variation, the difference variation V_thcup−V_thAA may be written as a variate mainly affected by the temperature, and the compensation formula may be written as follows:

[0044] $\begin{array}{cc}{V}_{\mathrm{data}\_\mathrm{offset}}=f\left(T\right)& \left(1-4\right)\end{array}$

[0045] Therefore, the present disclosure needs to establish a compensation model of the temperature and the compensation voltage, and may compensate the low luminance region according to the operating temperature obtained in real time, so as to improve the technical problem of the luminance difference between different regions of the display panel.

[0046] The technical solution of this application is described below in accordance with specific embodiments.

[0047] In the luminance adjustment method of the present disclosure, the step S10 may include:

• • [0048] S101: obtaining the first luminance parameter of the target panel 100 in the functional addition area 300; and
  • [0049] S102: obtaining the second luminance parameter of the target panel 100 at any position in the active area 200.

[0050] In the present embodiment, the order of obtaining the first luminance parameter and the second luminance parameter is not limited in this application.

[0051] In the present embodiment, the first luminance parameter and the second luminance parameter may include a luminance value, a grayscale, a grayscale voltage, and a pixel voltage. For example, the first luminance value of the target panel 100 in the functional addition area 300 and the second luminance value at any position in the active area 200 are obtained by photographing or other auxiliary devices, or the grayscale, the grayscale voltage, the pixel voltage and the like inputted to the corresponding area are directly obtained by external devices, as long as the relevant parameters may reflect the luminance difference between the active area 200 and the functional addition area 300, they are all applicable to the present embodiment.

[0052] In the luminance adjustment method of the present disclosure, the step S20 may include:

• • [0053] S201: obtaining the first difference value between the first luminance parameter and the second luminance parameter;
  • [0054] S202: when the first difference value is greater than or equal to the first threshold, obtaining the first operating temperature of the first region of the target panel 100 and the second operating temperature of the second region of the target panel 100; and
  • [0055] S203: when the first difference value is less than the first threshold value, the target panel 100 is displayed normally.

[0056] In the present embodiment, although the temperature difference in different areas of the target panel 100 may lead to the difference in the performance of the thin film transistor, the most directly related difference is in the display luminance of the panel; for example, the luminance value of the first region is 300 nits, and the luminance value of the second region is 303 nits, while the luminance difference of the 3 nits may not cause a uniformity difference in the user experience, and this difference value is within an allowable difference range; for example, when the luminance difference is 10 nits or more, it may cause the uniformity problem of the display luminance.

[0057] In the present embodiment, the value of the first threshold is not limited, and may be set according to the user's requirements or other standards.

[0058] In the present embodiment, the step of obtaining the first operating temperature of the first region of the target panel 100 and the second operating temperature of the second region of the target panel 100 may include:

• • [0059] S2021: in a current measurement period, obtaining a plurality of first measured temperatures of the first region of the target panel 100 and a plurality of second measured temperatures of the second region of the target panel 100 by a temperature detection unit; and
  • [0060] S2022: processing the plurality of first measured temperatures and the plurality of second measured temperatures using a mathematical model to obtain the first operating temperature of the first region of the target panel 100 and the second operating temperature of the second region of the target panel 100 during the current period.

[0061] In the present embodiment, the position of the temperature detection unit is not limited in the present disclosure, and since there are a large number of metal lines on the array substrate side of the display panel and the thin film transistor is greatly affected by the temperature, the temperature detection unit(s) may be arranged on the array substrate side of the display panel.

[0062] In the present embodiment, the measurement of the operating temperature has a certain difference, and therefore the measurement of the real-time operating temperature has a large error; in addition, the panel may compensate the luminance of the low luminance region only after the temperature measurement result is obtained, which has a certain delay. Therefore, the technical solution of the present disclosure is generally to measure the temperature of the current period, and compensate the luminance of a next measurement period according to the temperature measurement result of the current measurement period.

[0063] In the present embodiment, duration of the measurement period may be set according to user's requirements or related standards. For example, in the present disclosure, a measurement period of 30 s is used, the temperature detection unit may detect the operating temperature of the panel once at intervals of 1 s, 2 s or 3 s, and the specific detection frequency may be set according to the user's requirement or the load of the processor. In the present disclosure, the operating temperature of the panel may be detected once at intervals of 2 s, so that 15 measured temperatures may be obtained within one measurement period, and the operating temperatures of different areas in the current measurement period may be obtained later by using the corresponding mathematical model.

[0064] In the present embodiment, the step of processing a plurality of first measured temperatures and a plurality of second measured temperatures using a mathematical model includes:

• • [0065] removing a maximum measured temperature and a minimum temperature from the plurality of first measured temperatures to obtain a first group of measured temperatures, and removing a maximum measured temperature and a minimum temperature from the plurality of second measured temperatures to obtain a second group of measured temperatures; and
  • [0066] taking an average value of the first group of measured temperatures as the first operating temperature of the first region in the current period, and taking an average value of the second group of measured temperatures as the second operating temperature of the second region in the current period.

[0067] In the present embodiment, due to the existence of the operating temperature measurement error, it is generally possible to remove the maximum and minimum measured temperatures measured in one measurement period, and to take the average value of the remaining plurality of measured temperatures as the operating temperature of the current measurement period; for example, in a measurement period of 30 s, a total of 15 measurement operating temperatures are obtained at an interval of 2 s, a maximum value and a minimum value among the 15 measurement operating temperatures are removed, and an average value of the remaining 13 measurement operating temperatures is taken as the operating temperature in the current measurement period to compensate the luminance in a next measurement period.

[0068] In the luminance adjustment method of the present disclosure, step 30 may include:

• • [0069] S301: obtaining the second difference value between the first operating temperature and the second operating temperature;
  • [0070] S302: when the second difference value is greater than or equal to the second threshold value, obtaining the correlation of the luminance to the temperature; and
  • [0071] S303: obtaining the luminance compensation parameter of the first region or the second region based on the second difference value according to the correlation of the luminance to the temperature.

[0072] In the present embodiment, the value of the second threshold is not limited, and may be set according to the user's requirements or other standards.

[0073] In the luminance adjustment method of the present disclosure, the step of obtaining the correlation of the luminance to the temperature includes:

• • [0074] S3021: obtaining luminance parameters of the first regions and the second regions of a plurality of test panels at different operating temperatures;
  • [0075] S3022: obtaining luminance compensation parameters corresponding to the different operating temperatures according to the luminance parameters of different areas;
  • [0076] S3023: according to the luminance compensation parameters corresponding to the different operating temperatures, obtaining correlation curves between the operating temperatures and the luminance compensation parameters of the plurality of test panels; and
  • [0077] S3024: obtaining the correlation of the luminance to the temperature according to the correlation curves between the operating temperatures and the luminance compensation parameters of the plurality of test panels.

[0078] In the present embodiment, the correlation between the temperature and the luminance may be obtained according to the measurements of the plurality of panels in the same series, for example, a plurality of test panels are randomly selected to measure luminance parameters and operating temperatures of each test panel in different areas, and the luminance parameter may be display luminance value of the test panel.

[0079] For example, taking a certain test panel as an example, firstly, at the operating temperature of 25° C., the luminance value L1 of the first region and the luminance value L2 of the second region are obtained. The first region may be the active area 200, and the second region may be the functional addition area 300.

[0080] Next, the grayscale compensation values corresponding to different operating temperatures are obtained according to formula B=(L₁/L₂){circumflex over ( )}(1/2.2)*255−255, wherein the parameter B is the grayscale compensation value.

[0081] In the present embodiment, the compensation value B1 at the operating temperature of 25° C. may be obtained according to the above steps, and then the compensation values B2 to B5 corresponding to 30° C., 35° C., 40° C., 45° C. are continuously measured at intervals of 5° C. respectively. The six sets of data are fitted into the curve of Panel 1 shown in FIG. 4; the above steps are repeated while the curves of Pane 2 to Panel 10 as shown in FIG. 4 are obtained.

[0082] In the present embodiment, the temperature interval is not limited to 5° C., which may be set according to the accuracy or user's requirements, and the smaller the temperature interval, the higher the accuracy of the curve.

[0083] In the present embodiment, the 10 curves in FIG. 4 are fitted into a curve applicable to a plurality of test panels, which is used as a general correlation curve between the temperature and the luminance.

[0084] In the present embodiment, when the ratio of L₁/L₂ is greater than 1, B is a positive number, and the luminance of the functional addition area 300 needs to be compensated. When the ratio of L₁/L₂ is less than 1, B is a negative number, and the luminance of the active area 200 needs to be compensated. In the present embodiments, the ratio of L₁/L₂ may be less than 1.

[0085] In the present embodiment, the compensation of the luminance is generally realized by adjusting the grayscale voltage, and therefore, even if the luminance value or the grayscale value is measured, it is necessary to convert the luminance value or the grayscale value to the grayscale voltage.

[0086] In the present embodiment, when the second difference value is less than the second threshold, that is, the difference in luminance occurs, even it is small, which may be caused by other reasons such as capacitance and resistance, and is not discussed in the present disclosure.

[0087] In the luminance adjustment method of the present disclosure, since it is usually necessary to compensate the luminance value of the low luminance area according to the high luminance area, for example, for a panel having a maximum luminance value of 500 nits, when the active area 200 and the functional addition area 300 both display the luminance corresponding to the grayscale of 250, the luminance of the functional addition area 300 is 495 nits, and the luminance of the active area 200 is 460 nits. According to the above compensation principle, the active area 200 needs to be compensated from 460 nits to 495 nits, but at this time, the active area 200 may only be compensated to a grayscale of 255, and the luminance corresponding to the grayscale of 255 may not make the luminance of the active area 200 reach 495 nits. Therefore, before the luminance compensation, the compensation space (or compensation range) needs to be reserved.

[0088] In the present embodiment, before the step of obtaining the luminance compensation parameters corresponding to the different operating temperatures according to the luminance parameters of different areas, the method further includes:

• • [0089] obtaining a measured luminance peak value of a plurality of test panels;
  • [0090] adjusting measured luminance peak values of the plurality of test panels to a target luminance peak value according to a compensation peak value of the luminance compensation parameters; and
  • [0091] setting the target luminance peak value of the test panels as a luminance peak value of the target panel 100.

[0092] In the present embodiment, since there are different luminance compensation parameters at different temperatures, when the luminance compensation parameters are larger, and the luminance value to be compensated may be larger than the corresponding grayscale value and exceed the compensable threshold space (or threshold range), the present embodiment increases the compensable threshold space of the test panel according to the maximum luminance compensation parameter in the test panel.

[0093] In the present embodiment, firstly, obtaining the measured luminance peak values Lmax of the plurality of test panels and the compensation peak values Bmax of the luminance compensation parameters of the plurality of test panels; next, adjusting the measured luminance peak values of the plurality of test panels to the target luminance peak value according to the formula BT=((255+Bmax)/255){circumflex over ( )}2.2*Lmax, wherein the parameter BT is the target luminance peak value.

[0094] For example, the luminance compensation parameter is represented by the grayscale compensation value, if the measured luminance peak value of the plurality of test panels is 500 nits, and the grayscale compensation peak value of the plurality of test panels is 10 grayscales, an available compensation peak luminance of the test panel is ((255+10)/255){circumflex over ( )}2.2*500 nits, and an increased compensation space of the test panel is (((255+10)/255){circumflex over ( )}2.2*500−500) nits.

[0095] In the present embodiment, after the reservation of the compensation space is completed, it is further necessary to remap each grayscale value and each luminance value of the display panel using the Gamma curve. For example, the luminance value corresponding to the original grayscale of 255 is mapped from the original 500 nits to (255+10/255){circumflex over ( )}2.2*500 nits, and the luminance value corresponding to each grayscale is correspondingly increased. When the luminance of the functional addition area 300 is 495 nits, and the luminance of the active area 200 is 460 nits, the grayscale value of the active area 200 may be updated from the original grayscale value of 250 to the grayscale value of 240, leaving the compensation space of 15 grayscales. When the active area 200 is compensated from 460 nits to 495 nits, in a new mapping table, the grayscale value corresponding to 495 nits is the grayscale value of 250, thus, it is necessary to increase the luminance value of the display area by 10 grayscales, so that the luminance uniformity of the active area 200 and the functional addition area 300 may be ensured.

[0096] In the present embodiment, referring to FIG. 5, the curve 1 in FIG. 5 is the correlation curve between the original luminance and the grayscale, and the curve 2 in FIG. 5 is the correlation curve between the luminance and the grayscale after the remapping. In the curve 2, the 500 nits corresponding to the grayscale value of 255 is mapped to correspond to the grayscale of 239, and mapping is performed according to the corresponding formula for the other grayscale values.

[0097] In the present embodiment, due to the existence of inaccuracy of the compensation peak value, a certain amount of compensation value may be added to the obtained compensation peak value. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the grayscale compensation peak value of the plurality of test panels is 10 grayscales, and 2 grayscale values may be added when calculating the compensation peak luminance.

[0098] In the present embodiment, since the luminance compensation is to increase the luminance of each sub-pixel, and there is also uniformity between the luminance of respective sub-pixels, the luminance value in the above embodiment may be an average value of respective area.

[0099] In the present embodiment, since the area of the active area 200 is far larger than that of the functional addition area 300, and the active area 200 presents different luminance values in different regions due to the in-plane resistance and capacitance, or other reasons, the active area 200 may be divided to perform the luminance compensation; for example, in a region far away from the signal emitting end and a region near the signal emitting end, there is a certain difference in luminance due to the wire impedance, and thus different correlation curves of luminance and grayscale may be obtained for the comparison between different regions and the functional addition area 300 when testing the test panel, that is, the region far away from the signal emitting end may correspond to a first correlation curve of luminance and grayscale, and the region near the signal emitting end may correspond to a second correlation curve of luminance and grayscale.

[0100] In the present embodiment, for example, when both the first region and the second region are in the active area 200 of the target panel 100, due to the display luminance difference between different regions of the display panel or the difference in wiring in different regions, for example, the arrangement of the fan-out wires close to the end is relatively dense, the difference in the operating temperature between the different regions of the active area 200 may occur, thereby causing different luminance in the active area 200.

[0101] In the present embodiment, referring to FIG. 6, a temperature detection unit(s) is provided near the under-panel camera area of the target panel to obtain the operating temperatures of the target panel in real time, and transmit the obtained temperatures to a driving chip of the display panel, and the driving chip compensates the luminance of the under-panel camera area according to the received temperature data.

[0102] The specific operating process is shown in FIG. 7, which is a block diagram showing the luminance adjustment of the display panel of the present disclosure. Before the target panel 100 performs the luminance adjustment, it is necessary to write the correlation curve between the temperature and the luminance into the compensation range register of the panel, that is, the mapping table between the temperature and the luminance; at the same time, the temperature detection unit is turned on, for example, the temperature is sampled at a time interval of 2 s, the temperatures within 30 s are then selected as the temperature values during the measurement period, a temperature value signal(s) is sent to the processor of the panel, that is, in the luminance compensation unit, a luminance compensation value for an area to be compensated during a next measurement is obtained through the mapping table of the temperature and the luminance in the compensation range register and in combination with the measured temperature difference. Finally, the temperatures of different regions are monitored in real time to compensate the luminance of the low luminance region, and the luminance compensation is performed mainly by applying grayscale voltage compensation to the region to be compensated.

[0103] Referring to FIG. 8, the present disclosure further provides a luminance adjustment device 400 for a display panel, including:

• • [0104] a luminance obtaining unit 10 configured to obtain a first luminance parameter of a first region of a target panel and a second luminance parameter of a second region of the target panel;
