Abstract

A color compensation method, a compensation device, and a display device. The color compensation method includes: a modeling phase including: obtaining color cast brightness of a first sub-pixel group ( 100 ) at a boundary of a display image in a display panel upon different gray levels being input; obtaining a first initial gray level of the first sub-pixel group ( 100 ); compensating the color cast brightness to obtain compensation brightness; obtaining a compensation gray level corresponding to the compensation brightness; and establishing a correspondence between the first initial gray level and the compensation gray level.

obtaining color cast brightness of a first sub-pixel group at a boundary of a display image in a display panel upon different gray levels being input;

obtaining a first initial gray level of the first sub-pixel group;

compensating the color cast brightness to obtain compensation brightness;

obtaining a compensation gray level corresponding to the compensation brightness; and

establishing a correspondence between the first initial gray level and the compensation gray level,

wherein the first sub-pixel group comprises a plurality of sub-pixels of at least one color in one row,

wherein compensating the color cast brightness to obtain the compensation brightness, comprises: adjusting brightness of a second sub-pixel group, outside the display image and adjacent to the first sub-pixel group, until color cast of the boundary of the display image is corrected,

wherein enhanced brightness of the second sub-pixel group is the compensation brightness; and the second sub-pixel group comprises one row of sub-pixels, and the one row of sub-pixels have a color complementary to a color of the plurality of sub-pixels in the first sub-pixel group,

wherein a value of the color cast brightness is L1, a value of the compensation brightness is L2, and a relationship between L2 and L1 is:

L 2 =K*L 1,

wherein K is a value calculated according to a proportional relationship of red sub-pixels, green sub-pixels and blue sub-pixels in a case where the red sub-pixels, the green sub-pixels and the blue sub-pixels provide a white color.

2. The color compensation method according to claim 1 , wherein compensating the color cast brightness to obtain the compensation brightness, comprises:

reducing brightness of the first sub-pixel group until color cast of the boundary of the display image is corrected,

wherein reduced brightness of the first sub-pixel group is the compensation brightness.

3. The color compensation method according to claim 2 , wherein a value of the compensation brightness is equal to a value of the color cast brightness.

4. The color compensation method according to claim 2 , wherein obtaining the compensation gray level corresponding to the compensation brightness, comprises:

adjusting the first initial gray level to a first corrected gray level to allow the brightness of the first sub-pixel group to be reduced by the compensation brightness,

wherein the compensation gray level is a difference between the first initial gray level and the first corrected gray level.

5. The color compensation method according to claim 1 , wherein obtaining the compensation gray level corresponding to the compensation brightness, comprises:

adjusting a second initial gray level of the second sub-pixel group to a second corrected gray level to allow the brightness of the second sub-pixel group to be increased by the compensation brightness,

wherein the compensation gray level is a difference between the second corrected gray level and the second initial gray level.

6. The color compensation method according to claim 1 , wherein establishing the correspondence between the first initial gray level and the compensation gray level, comprises:

fitting the first initial gray level and the compensation gray level to obtain a compensation function.

7. The color compensation method according to claim 1 , wherein establishing the correspondence between the first initial gray level and the compensation gray level comprises:

allowing the first initial gray level and the compensation gray level to be in a one-to-one correspondence to establish a look-up table.

8. The color compensation method according to claim 2 , further comprising: a compensation phase,

wherein the compensation phase comprises:

detecting the boundary of the display image in the display panel and the first initial gray level of the first sub-pixel group at the boundary;

obtaining the compensation gray level corresponding to the first initial gray level according to the correspondence; and

adjusting the first initial gray level to reduce the compensation gray level.

9. The color compensation method according to claim 1 , further comprising: a compensation phase,

wherein the compensation phase comprises:

detecting the boundary of the display image in the display panel and the first initial gray level of the first sub-pixel group at the boundary;

obtaining the compensation gray level corresponding to the first initial gray level according to the correspondence; and

adjusting the second initial gray level of the second sub-pixel group to increase the compensation gray level.

10. The color compensation method according to claim 8 , wherein detecting the boundary of the display image in the display panel, comprises:

setting a boundary gray level threshold;

detecting an input gray level of each row of sub-pixels in the display image; and

comparing the input gray level with the boundary gray level threshold, and determining one row of the sub-pixels as the boundary of the display image in a case where the input gray level corresponding to the row of the sub-pixels is less than the boundary gray level threshold.

11. The color compensation method according to claim 8 , wherein detecting the boundary of the display image in the display panel, comprises:

detecting input gray levels of two adjacent rows of sub-pixels in the display image, wherein an input gray level of a first row of the sub-pixels is a first gray level, and an input gray level of a second row of the sub-pixels is a second gray level; and

comparing the first gray level with the second gray level, and determining the second row of sub-pixels corresponding to the second gray level as the boundary of the display image in a case where the first gray level is 0 and the second gray level is not 0.
