本发明涉及一种温度控制方法,更具体的涉及一种LED背光模组的温度控制方法。The present invention relates to a temperature control method, in particular to a temperature control method of an LED backlight module.
背景技术 Background technique
近年来以薄膜晶体管液晶显示技术(TFT-LCD)为主导的平板显示器(FPD)产业的迅速发展,给上游面板产业、光学材料产业带来前所未有的发展机会,其中背光源的提供以CCFL、EEFL、LED、OLED、FFL等光源,目前较为成熟的是CCFL。CCFL的全称是Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp,即冷阴极灯管,CCFL在一玻璃管内封入隋性气体Ne+Ar混合气体,其中含有微量水银蒸气(数mg),并于玻璃内壁涂布萤光体,于二电极间加上一高压高频电场,则水银蒸气在此电场内被激发即产生释能发光效应,放出波长253.7nm的紫外线光,而内壁的萤光体原子则因紫外线激发而提升其能阶,当原子反回原低能阶时放射出可见光(此可见光波长由萤光体物质特性决定)。CCFL具有很多非常好的特性,例如极佳的白光源、低成本、高效率(电源进到灯光出)、稳定及可预知的操作、亮度可轻易变化、重量轻等等,但CCFL有其自身的色彩、功耗、及含汞的问题难以解决。In recent years, the rapid development of the flat panel display (FPD) industry dominated by thin film transistor liquid crystal display technology (TFT-LCD) has brought unprecedented development opportunities to the upstream panel industry and optical material industry. Among them, the backlight is provided by CCFL, EEFL , LED, OLED, FFL and other light sources, the more mature one is CCFL. The full name of CCFL is Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp, that is, cold cathode lamp. CCFL seals an inert gas Ne+Ar mixed gas in a glass tube, which contains a small amount of mercury vapor (several mg), and coats the inner wall of the glass with phosphor. A high-voltage high-frequency electric field is applied between the two electrodes, and the mercury vapor is excited in this electric field to produce energy-releasing luminescence effect, emitting ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 253.7nm, and the phosphor atoms on the inner wall are excited by ultraviolet light to enhance their Energy level, when the atoms return to the original low energy level, visible light is emitted (the wavelength of this visible light is determined by the material characteristics of the phosphor). CCFL has many very good characteristics, such as excellent white light source, low cost, high efficiency (power goes in and light goes out), stable and predictable operation, brightness can be easily changed, light weight, etc., but CCFL has its own The problems of color, power consumption, and mercury content are difficult to solve.
LED就是指Light Emitting Diode,也就是我们常说得发光二极管,这种产品及其应用不是现在才有,而且其应用在我们现在的现实生活中随处可见,例如路边的广告牌、家用电器上的各色指示灯和手机键盘上的背光照明等等都是采用了LED作为光源,而就其在显示器产品上的应用来说,则还应该算作是一种新兴技术产品。从发光原理上来看,由于LED是由数层很薄的掺杂半导体材料制成,一层带有过量的电子,另一层则缺乏电子而形成带正电的“空穴”,工作时电流通过,电子和空穴相互结合,多余的能量则以光辐射的形式被释放出来,LED正是根据这样的原理实现电光的转换,又根据半导体材料物理性能的不同,LED可发出从紫外到红外不同光谱下不同颜色的光线,特别是LED不能发出白光的技术问题解决之后,为LED在显示领域的应用奠定了根本性的基础。LED refers to Light Emitting Diode, which is what we often call light-emitting diodes. This product and its application are not available now, and its application can be seen everywhere in our real life, such as roadside billboards and household appliances. LEDs are used as the light source for various indicator lights and backlighting on mobile phone keyboards. As far as its application in display products is concerned, it should also be regarded as an emerging technology product. From the perspective of the principle of light emission, since the LED is made of several layers of very thin doped semiconductor materials, one layer has excess electrons, and the other layer lacks electrons to form positively charged "holes". Through the combination of electrons and holes, the excess energy is released in the form of light radiation. LEDs are based on this principle to achieve electro-optic conversion. According to the different physical properties of semiconductor materials, LEDs can emit light from ultraviolet to infrared. Different colors of light under different spectrums, especially after the technical problem that LEDs cannot emit white light have been solved, have laid a fundamental foundation for the application of LEDs in the display field.
采用LED为液晶电视的背光源,最主要目的是提升画质,特别是色彩饱和度上,LED背光技术的显示屏可以取得足够宽的色域,弥补液晶显示设备显示色彩数量不足的缺陷,使之能达到甚至超过Adobe RGB和NTSC色彩标准要求,可以达到NTSC ratio 100%以上,其中有些厂商推出采用LED背光的液晶电视面板,特别强调鲜红和深绿的表现,可显示较以往的方式更为逼真的颜色。同时因为LED的平面光源特性,使LED背光还能实现CCFL无法比及的分区域的色彩和色度调节功能,从而实现更加精确的色彩还原性,以适应平面出版和图形设计工作的需要,画面的动态调整可以使得在显示不同画面时,亮度与对比可以动态修正,以达到更好的画质。The main purpose of using LED as the backlight source of LCD TV is to improve the image quality, especially in terms of color saturation. The display screen with LED backlight technology can obtain a wide enough color gamut to make up for the defect of insufficient number of colors displayed by LCD devices. It can meet or even exceed the requirements of Adobe RGB and NTSC color standards, and can reach more than 100% of NTSC ratio. Some manufacturers have launched LCD TV panels with LED backlights, emphasizing the performance of bright red and dark green, which can display more color than the previous method. Realistic colors. At the same time, because of the flat light source characteristics of LED, the LED backlight can also realize the color and chromaticity adjustment function of sub-regions that cannot be compared with CCFL, so as to achieve more accurate color reproduction, so as to meet the needs of graphic publishing and graphic design. The dynamic adjustment can make the brightness and contrast can be dynamically corrected when displaying different pictures to achieve better picture quality.
另外,LED做为背光源的优点是可以取代color filter的使用。以三色RGBLED采用色序法(color sequential)技术,利用人类视觉暂留的特性,达到全彩的效果,因此可以取代彩色滤光片。不过LED背光模块也不是没有缺点,LED背光模组的温度控制仍然是LED背光模块必须克服的重要课题。由于背光模块的亮度要求较高,因此LED背光模组需要采用大量的LED灯管,这就导致了LED背光模组温度升高的问题。中国专利申请CN200410002701.5提供了一种通过增加风扇的方式来降低LED光源温度的调节装置,但是由于空间的和噪音控制上的限制,这种方法无法适用于LED背光模组。In addition, the advantage of LED as a backlight is that it can replace the use of color filter. The three-color RGB LED adopts the color sequential method (color sequential) technology, and utilizes the characteristics of the persistence of human vision to achieve a full-color effect, so it can replace the color filter. However, the LED backlight module is not without disadvantages. The temperature control of the LED backlight module is still an important issue that the LED backlight module must overcome. Due to the high brightness requirements of the backlight module, the LED backlight module needs to use a large number of LED lamp tubes, which leads to the problem of temperature rise of the LED backlight module. Chinese patent application CN200410002701.5 provides an adjusting device for reducing the temperature of the LED light source by adding a fan, but due to space and noise control limitations, this method cannot be applied to LED backlight modules.
中国专利申请CN200580032859.X提供了一种带有温度传感器的LED阵列,通过检测LED阵列的温度,如果检测到的温度过高,就降低输入给LED灯芯的电流,以此来降低LED灯芯的温度。然而,该专利申请并没有说明如何降低LED灯芯的电流,以及电流减低到多少等关键问题。由于LED背光模组一般用于显示装置,如果LED灯管的电流过低,LED背光亮度就会过低,会影响到用户的收看,而如果LED灯管的电流有限,则对LED背光模组的温度控制影响有限,有可能在降低LED灯管的电流之后,LED背光模组的温度还会继续上升。因此,本领域需要一种能够精确控制LED背光模组温度的控制方法。Chinese patent application CN200580032859.X provides an LED array with a temperature sensor. By detecting the temperature of the LED array, if the detected temperature is too high, the current input to the LED wick is reduced to reduce the temperature of the LED wick. . However, the patent application does not explain key issues such as how to reduce the current of the LED wick and how much the current is reduced. Because LED backlight modules are generally used in display devices, if the current of the LED tube is too low, the brightness of the LED backlight will be too low, which will affect the user's viewing. If the current of the LED tube is limited, the LED backlight module The effect of temperature control is limited, and it is possible that after reducing the current of the LED tube, the temperature of the LED backlight module will continue to rise. Therefore, there is a need in the art for a control method capable of precisely controlling the temperature of the LED backlight module.

具体实施方式 Detailed ways
为了使本领域的技术人员更好地理解本发明方案,并使本发明的上述目的、特征和优点能够更加明显易懂,下面结合附图和具体实施方式对本发明作进一步详细的说明。In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, and to make the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
图1所示为一个普通的LED背光组件的示意图。如图所示,LED背光组件100包括反射板110、若干LED 120、导光板140以及扩散板150。其中,反射板110可以是一种表面设置有反射膜的电路板;LED 120固定在反射板110上,并通过反射板110上面的过孔等连接外部电源。在LED120的外面灌注有导光散热材料,形成一个导光散热层130,导光散热层一般与背光组件100的外壳等能够散热的部件相连接,以便与散热。导光板140和扩散板150则分别置于导光散热层的上端。FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a common LED backlight assembly. As shown in the figure, the
正常工作时,LED 120被点亮开始工作发光,LED 120发出的光线一部分直接照射到导光板140,另一部分经过反射板110的反射到达导光板140;导光散热材料关注在LED 120上将所有的LED 120密封,通过反射板110上面的过孔等结构排放LED 120产生的热量;导光板140置于导光散热层和扩散板150之间,将接收到的LED 120产生的光和反射板110反射的光散射至扩散板150,扩散板150置于导光板140的上方,将LED 120产生的光散射输出。When working normally, the
由于LED灯管数量较多,而LED灯管本身又不能完全将转化为光能,必然会产生一些热能,众多的LED灯管的热能汇集,使得背光组件100在工作过程中会积累大量的热量,另外有一些无法反射到扩散板150的光能最终也会转化为热能,使背光组件100的温度进一步升高。Due to the large number of LED light tubes, and the LED light tubes themselves cannot completely convert into light energy, some heat energy will inevitably be generated, and the heat energy of many LED light tubes will accumulate, so that the
图2所示为本发明的LED背光模组的实施例的示意图。如图所示,本实施例的LED背光模组200包括LED背光组件100、温度传感器210以及控制器220。LED背光模组200在普通的LED背光组件100的基础上增加了温度传感器210和控制器220。温度传感器210用于检测LED背光组件100的温度,并将检测到的温度数据传输给控制器220。控制器220接收温度传感器210发送来的温度数据,将该温度数据与一个预先设定的温度相比较(例如50℃),如果温度传感器210检测到的当前温度小于这一预先设定的温度,控制器220则继续等待新的数据;如果温度传感器210检测到的当前温度大于这一预先设定的温度,控制器200控制降低LED背光组件100的LED灯管的亮度。FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the LED backlight module of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the LED backlight module 200 of this embodiment includes an
具体的,温度传感器210既可以是接触式温度传感器,紧贴LED背光组件100上或者设置在LED背光组件100之内。由于接触式温度传感器的测温元件与被测对象要有良好的热接触,通过热传导及对流原理达到热平衡,这是的示值即为被测对象的温度。这种测温方法精度比较高,并可测量物体内部的温度分布。温度传感器210也可以是非接触式温度传感器,设置在LED背光组件100附近或者内部都可。由于非接触测温的测温元件与被测对象互不接触,常用的是辐射热交换原理,此种测温方法的主要特点是可测量运动状态的小目标及热容量小或变化迅速的对象,也可测量温度场的温度分布,但受环境的影响比较大。优选的,本实施例的温度传感器210采用接触式的温度传感器。为了不影响LED背光组件100结构,本实施例的温度传感器210设置在LED背光组件100的外部。当然,温度传感器210的位置不同,上述预先设定的温度也应该不同。如果温度传感器210设置在LED背光组件100内部,预先设定的温度数值可以相对高一些;如果温度传感器210设置在LED背光组件100外部,预先设定的温度数值可以相对低一些。为了获得更为全面的LED背光组件的温度,本实施例的温度传感器可以设置多个,分布在LED背光组件100的周围,通过计算多个温度传感器的温度平均值或者最大值来获得LED背光组件100的温度。Specifically, the
控制器220可以是一个嵌入式处理器、或者是一个MCU(Micro ControllerUnit),也可以是一个可编程器件。控制器220接收温度传感器210检测到的温度数据,将该温度数据与一个预先设定的温度相比较(例如50℃),如果温度传感器210检测到的当前温度小于这一预先设定的温度,控制器220则继续等待新的数据;如果温度传感器210检测到的当前温度大于这一预先设定的温度,控制器200控制降低LED背光组件100的LED灯管的亮度。这里的预先设定的温度是一个临界值,可以通过用户的设定而改变,也可以根据LED背光模组本省的性能指标来设置。例如,LED背光模组的最佳工作温度应当小于50℃,则这里的预先设定的温度可以为50℃,或者是低于50℃,例如45℃、40℃等等。The
对于LED背光组件100亮度的控制,可以通过向LED背光组件100发送一个控制指令来实现。该驱动信号可以为一定占空比的PWM(pulse widthmodulation)信号(也即脉宽调节信号),所述PWM驱动信号也就是驱动电流,因为亮度是由RGB-LED(RGB发光二极管)的光通量决定的,而LED光通量与电流成线性关系,所以也可以说亮度是由驱动电流决定。The brightness control of the
由于LED背光组件100一般用于显示装置,如果LED背光组件100的亮度变化过快,一次性减低过多,LED背光组件100就会突然变暗,肯定会对用户的观看造成影响。而如果在温度传感器210检测到的温度大于上述预先设定的温度之后,由于LED背光组件100一直处于工作状态,其温度还会持续上升,如果LED背光组件100的亮度降低幅度过小,则无法改变温度持续上升的状态,这样,如果温度持续升高,可能会对LED背光组件100本身造成损坏。因此,在温度传感器210检测到的温度大于上述预先设定的温度之后,如何降低LED背光组件100的亮度,亮度降低多少就成为本发明的一个关键问题。Since the
本实施例通过以下方式对LED背光组件100的亮度进行控制:In this embodiment, the brightness of the
如前面所述,如果在温度传感器210检测到的温度大于上述预先设定的温度之后,LED背光组件100的亮度降低幅度过小,则无法改变温度持续上升的状态。那么,为了使得在检测到的温度大于临界温度之后,LED背光组件100的温度不再持续上升,只需要使得LED背光组件100产生的热量小于或等于LED背光组件100散发的热量即可。As mentioned above, if the brightness of the
不考虑LED背光亮度的渐变过程,这里假设控制器220发出控制指令之后,LED背光的亮度马上降低。由于LED背光组件在使用时,与显示装置的背板间夹有导热绝缘片,因而可粗略的认为LED背光组件与背板间是无隙的,其间的接触热阻设为N,单位℃/W。所以单位功率的产生的温度为δT=N·δw(1)。Regardless of the gradual change process of the brightness of the LED backlight, it is assumed here that the brightness of the LED backlight decreases immediately after the
设背光调整精度的最大值为Cycle,设背光单位调整的幅度M与单位消耗的功率δw有线性关系,设为δw=k·M(2)。Let the maximum value of the backlight adjustment accuracy be Cycle, and let the unit adjustment range M of the backlight have a linear relationship with the power δw consumed per unit, and set δw=k·M (2).
要抑制温度的持续上升,背光亮度降低等效降低的温度要大于等于LED背光组件本身产生的温度,故δTbl≥δT,引入浮动系数(稍大于1),设
代入(1)、(2)得:Substitute into (1), (2) to get:
得:
背光调整的实时系数:Real-time factor for backlight adjustment:
coef=M·T/Cyclecoef=M·T/Cycle
实时的温度控制的背光调整:Real-time temperature-controlled backlight adjustment:
BL′=BL·(1-coef)BL'=BL·(1-coef)
其中,BL为正常情况下LED背光的亮度。Among them, BL is the brightness of the LED backlight under normal conditions.
上面所述为一次性调整LED背光亮度时,调整后的LED背光亮度的计算方法,然而,正如前面所说,如果一次性调整的亮度过大,可能会造成用户的不适,因此,本实施例的LED背光模组可以通过渐变的方式调整LED背光的亮度。The above is the calculation method of the adjusted brightness of the LED backlight when the brightness of the LED backlight is adjusted at one time. However, as mentioned above, if the brightness of the one-time adjustment is too large, it may cause discomfort to the user. Therefore, this embodiment The LED backlight module can adjust the brightness of the LED backlight in a gradual manner.
如果通过通过渐变的方式调整,则背光调整的实时系数:If it is adjusted by gradient, the real-time coefficient of backlight adjustment:
coef′=coef+δcoef,coef'=coef+δcoef,
coef’是由渐变周期控制的背光调整系数;δcoef是调整背光系数的单位变化量,正负是由渐变周期控制的调整背光的实时系数与前一背光调整系数的差值决定的。coef' is the backlight adjustment coefficient controlled by the fading period; δcoef is the unit change of the backlight adjustment coefficient, and the positive or negative is determined by the difference between the real-time coefficient of the backlight adjustment controlled by the fading period and the previous backlight adjustment coefficient.
由此可见,本实施例的LED背光模组通过降低LED的背光亮度,拟制了LED背光模组温度的不断上升,从而保护了LED灯管的光学性能,避免了LED寿命的下降。同时,本实施例的LED背光模组仅仅在通用的LED背光组件的基础上增加了温度传感器等外围器件,成本低廉,而且通用型强。It can be seen that the LED backlight module of this embodiment reduces the brightness of the LED backlight to suppress the continuous rise of the temperature of the LED backlight module, thereby protecting the optical performance of the LED lamp tube and avoiding the reduction of the life of the LED. At the same time, the LED backlight module of this embodiment only adds peripheral devices such as temperature sensors on the basis of general-purpose LED backlight components, which is low in cost and strong in versatility.
图3所示为一个本发明的LED背光模组温度控制方法的实施例的示意图。如图所示,本实施例的LED背光模组温度控制方法包括:FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a temperature control method for an LED backlight module of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the LED backlight module temperature control method of the present embodiment includes:
步骤310:获得LED背光模组的亮度BL;Step 310: Obtain the brightness BL of the LED backlight module;
步骤320:检测LED背光模组的温度;Step 320: detect the temperature of the LED backlight module;
步骤330:将LED背光模组的温度与一个预先设定的温度相比较;Step 330: comparing the temperature of the LED backlight module with a preset temperature;
步骤340:如果LED背光模组的温度大于或等于该预先设定的温度相比较,计算LED背光模组的目标亮度BL’;Step 340: If the temperature of the LED backlight module is greater than or equal to the preset temperature comparison, calculate the target brightness BL' of the LED backlight module;
步骤350:根据目标亮度BL’对LED背光模组的亮度进行调整;Step 350: adjust the brightness of the LED backlight module according to the target brightness BL';
步骤360:对图像信号的亮度进行调整。Step 360: Adjust the brightness of the image signal.
具体的,对于一般的LED背光模组来说,LED背光模组的亮度BL可以通过读取用户设置等等数据来获得;而对于一些能够根据图像信号自动调整背光亮度的LED背光模组来说,LED背光模组的亮度BL可以通过分析接收到的图像信号来获得,例如计算图像信号的平均亮度等等。Specifically, for general LED backlight modules, the brightness BL of the LED backlight module can be obtained by reading data such as user settings; and for some LED backlight modules that can automatically adjust the brightness of the backlight according to the image signal , the brightness BL of the LED backlight module can be obtained by analyzing the received image signal, for example, calculating the average brightness of the image signal and so on.
LED背光模组的温度一般通过温度传感器来检测。为了避免瞬间的温度变化对LED背光模组的显示造成影响,本实施例通过温度传感器的多次检测获得的稳定值来确定LED背光模组的当前温度,例如通过计算连续1秒钟之内的温度的平均值来获得LED背光模组的当前温度等。本实施例也可以通过读取多个温度传感器的数据来获得LED背光模组的温度。The temperature of the LED backlight module is generally detected by a temperature sensor. In order to avoid the impact of instantaneous temperature changes on the display of the LED backlight module, this embodiment determines the current temperature of the LED backlight module through the stable value obtained by multiple detections of the temperature sensor, for example, by calculating the temperature of the LED backlight module within 1 second. The average temperature of the temperature is used to obtain the current temperature of the LED backlight module, etc. In this embodiment, the temperature of the LED backlight module can also be obtained by reading data from multiple temperature sensors.
在获得LED背光模组的温度之后,本实施例通过将LED背光模组的温度与一个预先设定的温度相比较。这里的预先设定的温度是一个临界值,可以通过用户的设定而改变,也可以根据LED背光模组本省的性能指标来设置。例如,LED背光模组的最佳工作温度应当小于50℃,则这里的预先设定的温度可以为50℃,或者是低于50℃,例如45℃、40℃等等。After obtaining the temperature of the LED backlight module, this embodiment compares the temperature of the LED backlight module with a preset temperature. The preset temperature here is a critical value, which can be changed by the user's setting, and can also be set according to the performance index of the LED backlight module itself. For example, the optimal operating temperature of the LED backlight module should be less than 50°C, so the preset temperature here can be 50°C, or lower than 50°C, such as 45°C, 40°C and so on.
如果LED背光模组的温度小于该预先设定的温度相比较,则表示LED背光模组目前工作正常,不需要对温度进行控制。而如果LED背光模组的温度大于或等于该预先设定的温度相比较,则需要对LED背光模组的温度进行控制。本实施例首先根据LED背光模组的亮度BL计算出LED背光模组的目标亮度BL’:If the temperature of the LED backlight module is lower than the preset temperature, it means that the LED backlight module is currently working normally and there is no need to control the temperature. And if the temperature of the LED backlight module is greater than or equal to the preset temperature, the temperature of the LED backlight module needs to be controlled. In this embodiment, at first the target brightness BL' of the LED backlight module is calculated according to the brightness BL of the LED backlight module:
BL′=BL·(1-coef)BL'=BL·(1-coef)
其中,coef为背光调整的实时系数:Among them, coef is the real-time coefficient of backlight adjustment:
coef=M·T/Cyclecoef=M·T/Cycle
其中,M为背光单位调整的幅度,T为LED背光模组的温度,Cycle为背光调整精度的最大值。由于M、T以及Cycle都为正数,因此背光调整的实时系数coef也为正数,由此可见,目标亮度BL’必然小于正常情况下的LED背光模组的亮度BL。Among them, M is the adjustment range of the backlight unit, T is the temperature of the LED backlight module, and Cycle is the maximum value of the backlight adjustment accuracy. Since M, T, and Cycle are all positive numbers, the real-time coefficient coef for backlight adjustment is also positive. It can be seen that the target brightness BL' must be smaller than the brightness BL of the LED backlight module under normal conditions.
在获得LED背光模组的目标亮度BL’之后,本实施例的LED背光模组的温度控制方法开始对LED背光模组的亮度进行调整。这里的调整方法有多种,最简单的方法就是直接将LED背光模组的亮度设置为目标亮度BL’。但是如果目标亮度BL’与BL的差距过大或者BL’变化频繁,LED背光模组的亮度会突然变暗或忽明忽暗,可能会对用户的收看造成影响。为了避免这一情况的出现,本实施例可以通过步进的方式对LED背光模组的亮度进行调整,例如一秒钟调整一次,每次调整1的亮度级别,直到达到目标亮度BL’为止等等,本发明不限于此。After obtaining the target brightness BL' of the LED backlight module, the method for controlling the temperature of the LED backlight module in this embodiment starts to adjust the brightness of the LED backlight module. There are many adjustment methods here, and the simplest method is to directly set the brightness of the LED backlight module to the target brightness BL'. However, if the gap between the target brightness BL' and BL is too large or BL' changes frequently, the brightness of the LED backlight module will suddenly dim or flicker, which may affect the user's viewing experience. In order to avoid this situation, this embodiment can adjust the brightness of the LED backlight module step by step, for example, adjust once a second, adjust the brightness level of 1 each time, until the target brightness BL' is reached, etc. etc., the present invention is not limited thereto.
在对LED背光模组的亮度进行调整之后,为了使用户的观看不受影响,本实施例还可以对图像信号的亮度进行调整。以直接将LED背光模组的亮度设置为目标亮度BL’为例,由于BL′=BL·(1-coef),调整后的背光亮度变成了正常情况下的(1-coef)倍。由于用户收看到的图像的亮度是背光亮度和图像信号亮度共同作用的结果,因此只要将图像信号的亮度调整到原来的1/(1-coef),用户就难以发觉其中的变化。当然,这可能会使图像信号本身的一些信号失去作用,但是总的来说对用户来说是有利的。After adjusting the brightness of the LED backlight module, in order not to affect the user's viewing, this embodiment can also adjust the brightness of the image signal. Taking directly setting the brightness of the LED backlight module as the target brightness BL' as an example, since BL'=BL·(1-coef), the adjusted backlight brightness becomes (1-coef) times under normal conditions. Since the brightness of the image viewed by the user is the result of the joint effect of the brightness of the backlight and the brightness of the image signal, as long as the brightness of the image signal is adjusted to the original 1/(1-coef), it is difficult for the user to notice the change. Of course, this may disable some signal of the image signal itself, but overall it is beneficial to the user.
由此可见,本发明的LED背光模组温度控制方法通过检测LED背光模组的温度,当LED背光模组的温度达到或超过一个临界温度的时候,本发明通过降低LED背光模组的亮度,拟制了LED背光模组温度的进一步上升,从而保护了LED背光模组,避免了LED背光模组寿命的下降。同时,本发明的LED背光模组温度控制方法在降低了LED背光模组的亮度的同时,还对图像信号的亮度进行了修正,使得用户很难察觉背光亮度的变化,对用户的正常观看不会造成任何影响。It can be seen that the LED backlight module temperature control method of the present invention detects the temperature of the LED backlight module. When the temperature of the LED backlight module reaches or exceeds a critical temperature, the present invention reduces the brightness of the LED backlight module. The further rise of the temperature of the LED backlight module is simulated, thereby protecting the LED backlight module and avoiding the decline of the service life of the LED backlight module. At the same time, the temperature control method of the LED backlight module of the present invention not only reduces the brightness of the LED backlight module, but also corrects the brightness of the image signal, making it difficult for the user to perceive the change of the brightness of the backlight, which is not beneficial to the normal viewing of the user. will have any effect.
当然,上述说明并非是对本发明的限制,本发明也并不仅限于上述举例,本技术领域的普通技术人员在本发明的实质范围内所做出的变化、改型、添加或替换,也应属于本发明的保护范围。Of course, the above descriptions are not intended to limit the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above examples. Changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention shall also belong to protection scope of the present invention.
