Abstract
A method of displaying an image and an image display device are disclosed. The method is implemented by calculating a total current value of subpixels of an image to be displayed, and comparing the total current value of the subpixels with a total current threshold, thereby to output a gain factor for adjusting brightness of an image to be displayed, so that an original subpixel dataset can be adjusted according to the gain factor, enabling power consumption to be correspondingly limited at the time when an image is displayed to meet a high brightness requirement.
Claims4
A method of displaying an image, the method comprising the following steps:
- step a:
- calculating a total current value of subpixels of an image to be displayed by summing current of each of the subpixels according to original subpixel grayscale data and subpixel current lookup table data of the image to be displayed;
- step b:
- comparing the total current value of the subpixels with a total current threshold, and if the total current value of the subpixels is less than or equal to the total current threshold, a gain factor of a present stage is equal to a gain factor of a previous stage;
- and if the total current value of the subpixels is greater than the total current threshold, the gain factor is equal to the previous stage gain factor multiplied by a current gain factor;
- wherein the previous stage gain factor is a product of a brightness gain factor and a power consumption gain factor, the brightness gain factor is obtained according to original brightness data of the image to be displayed and a predetermined brightness value, the power consumption gain factor is obtained according to original power consumption data of the image to be displayed and a predetermined power consumption value, and the current gain factor is equal to a ratio of the total current threshold to the total current value of the subpixels;
- step c:
- calculating and outputting a target subpixel dataset according to the gain factor and an original subpixel dataset such that the target subpixel dataset is obtained by multiplying the gain factor by data in the original subpixel dataset, wherein the original subpixel dataset is called from a frame buffer and the data in the original subpixel dataset includes the original subpixel grayscale data;
- and
- step d:
- displaying the image according to the target subpixel dataset.
