A method for converting color gamut of a display device, wherein the display device comprises a display panel comprising a display substrate and a plurality of pixel units arranged on a first surface of the display substrate, each pixel unit comprises a plurality of sub-pixels and the plurality of sub-pixels comprise a variable color sub-pixel which is used for emitting light of at least one predetermined color according to a predetermined color gamut standard;
- wherein the variable color sub-pixels comprise at least one photoluminescent material selected from a reflective material, a fluorescent material, a self-luminous body and a phosphorescent material;
- an exciting light emitting unit which is used for emitting at least one kind of exciting light so as to excite the photoluminescent material to emit the light of the at least one predetermined color;
- and
- an exciting light selecting unit having a liquid crystal panel, which is used for selecting the exciting light according to the light of the at least one predetermined color;
- said liquid crystal panel comprises a first electrode, a second electrode, a liquid crystal layer arranged between the first electrode and the second electrode, and data wires, and said liquid crystal panel is divided into a plurality of first adjustment light units and second adjustment light units, wherein an outline of each first adjustment light unit on the display substrate overlaps with an outline of one variable color sub-pixel from a perspective normal to the first surface of the display substrate, and an outline of each second adjustment light unit on the display substrate overlaps with an outline of at least one non-variable color sub-pixel from a perspective normal to the first surface of the display substrate, and said second electrode and data wires are arranged in an interlacing manner in a same layer;
- and
- the method comprises:
- determining an original color gamut and a target color gamut of the display device;
- determining color of light emitting by the variable color sub-pixels according to the original color gamut and the target color gamut;
- and
- exciting the variable color sub-pixels to emit light, and converting the color gamut of the display device from the original color gamut to the target color gamut.
