Abstract

Disclosed is a method of compensating for a color shift of a display panel, a display module, and an electronic device, in which the method includes: in the case where a color shift occurs in a white screen of the display panel, determining a position where the color shift occurs; changing a timing of sub-pixels lighting the white screen in the position to a timing of red, green and blue pixels; adjusting brightness of the red pixel, brightness of the green pixel and brightness of the blue pixel to compensate for the color shift in the position. The present disclosure solves the technical problem that a color shift repairing technology in the related art can only solve unevenness of brightness within a certain range, resulting in poor repairing effect of the display panel.
