LED display brightness calculation and gray scale control method introduction

The gray scale referred to in the LED display industry can also be referred to as LED brightness. Gray level is also called midtone. It is mainly used to transmit images, pictures, and videos. There are 16 levels, 32 levels, and 64 levels. It uses matrix processing to process the pixels of the file into 16, 32, and 64 levels. To make the transmitted picture clearer. Whether it is a full-color screen or a two-color screen, to display an image or an animation, it is necessary to adjust the illuminance of each LED constituting the pixel, and the degree of fineness of the adjustment is what we usually call the gradation.

LED display brightness calculation and gray scale control method introduction

First, the brightness calculation method of the display

Take a full color screen as an example. Usually, the red, green, blue and white balance ratio is 3:6:1.

Red LED light brightness: brightness (CD) / M2 ÷ points / M2 & TImes; 0.3 (white balance ratio accounted for 30%) ÷ 2

Green LED brightness: brightness (CD) / M2 ÷ points / M2 & TImes; 0.6 (white balance ratio accounted for 60%)

Blue LED light brightness: brightness (CD) / M2 ÷ points / M2 & TImes; 0.1 (white balance ratio accounted for 10%)

(1) It is known that the brightness of the whole screen is the brightness of a single tube.

For example: 2500 points per square meter, 2R1G1B, and the brightness per square meter is 5000cd/m2, then:

The brightness of the red LED light is: 5000÷2500&TImes; 0.3÷2=0.3cd=300mcd

The brightness of the green LED light is: 5000÷2500×0.6=1.2cd=1200mcd

The brightness of the blue LED light is: 5000÷2500×0.1=0.2cd=200mcd

The brightness per pixel is: 0.3×2+1.2+0.2=2.0cd=2000mcd

(2) It is known that the brightness of the whole screen is the brightness of the single tube.

For example: Take P31.25, Nichia tube as an example.

Because the white balance is matched with the brightness red: green: blue = 3:6:1; the ratio of white balance is matched with other tubes with the brightness of the green tube. So as follows:

From red: green = 3:6, the brightness of the green tube is twice that of the red tube, that is, the brightness of the red tube is: 2400 (blue) ÷ 2 = 1200mcd and because of the red, green and blue tubes, the red tube has 2 Therefore, the brightness of a single red tube is: 1200 ÷ 2 = 600mcd.

From green: blue = 6:1, the brightness of the green tube is 6 times that of the blue tube, that is, the brightness of the blue tube is: 2400 (blue) ÷ 6 = 400mcd, 1 illuminating pixel = 2 red tube +1 green tube +1 Blue tube

That is, the brightness of one pixel = 600 (red) × 2 + 2400 (green) + 400 (blue) = 3400mcd = 3.4cd

Brightness per square meter = brightness of illuminating pixels × pixel density per square meter (number) = 3.4 cd × 1024 (number of pixels) = 3482 cd. Calculated by optical loss of 20%, the actual luminance should be: 2782.28 cd .

Second, the LED display screen controls the gray level of the LED

The following introduces the brightness control methods of the two large screens of led display. One is to change the current flowing through the LED. Generally, the LED die allows a continuous operating current of about 20 mA. In addition to the saturation of the red LED, the brightness of the other LEDs is substantially proportional to the current flowing through it; another method is Utilizing the visual inertia of the human eye, the gamma control is implemented by a pulse width modulation method, that is, the optical pulse width is periodically changed, as long as the period of the repeated lighting is sufficiently short, the human eye does not feel that the illuminating pixel is shaking. Since pulse width modulation is more suitable for digital control, in today's widespread use of microcomputers to provide LED display content, almost all LED screens use pulse width modulation to control gray levels.

The LED control system usually consists of three main parts: the main control box, the scanning board and the display control unit. The main control box obtains the brightness data of each layer of pixels of the screen from the display card of the computer, and then re-allocates to the plurality of scanning boards, each of which is responsible for controlling several rows on the LED screen, and the display control signals of the LEDs on each row Then it is transmitted in serial mode. At present, there are two ways of serially transmitting display control signals: one is to control the gray level of each pixel point on the scanning board, the scanning board decomposes the brightness values ​​of each row of pixels from the control box, and then turns on the LEDs of each row. The signal is transmitted in a pulsed form (illuminated to 1, not lit to 0) in a serial manner to the corresponding LED to control whether it is lit. This method uses fewer devices, but the amount of data transmitted serially is larger because each pixel requires 16 pulses at 16 levels of gray during a repeated lighting period, requiring 256 levels of gray. 256 pulses, due to the device operating frequency limit, generally only enable the LED screen to achieve 16 gray levels.

Another method is that the serially transmitted content of the scan board is not the switching signal of each LED but an 8-bit binary luminance value. Each LED has its own pulse width modulator to control the lighting time. Thus, in a period of repeated lighting, each pixel point requires only 4 pulses in 16-level gray scale, and only 8 pulses in 256-level gray scale, which greatly reduces the serial transmission frequency. With this method of controlling the gradation of the LED, it is convenient to implement 256-level gradation control.
