The method includes: obtaining an average image voltage value of each image in previous N images; calculating an average voltage value according to the average image voltage value of each image in previous N images; obtaining a brightness trend regulation coefficient and a brightness regulation coefficient according to the average voltage value; and performing a brightness regulation to a brightness of a (N+1)-th image to be displayed according to the brightness trend regulation coefficient and the brightness regulation coefficient. When an average value of the average image voltage values is smaller, and less than a threshold value, the (N+1)-th image to be displayed will continue a low brightness status so as to regulate and decrease the brightness of the (N+1)-th image in order to avoid a sudden change in current and brightness of the (N+1)-th image.

  • Patent number: 10345666
    Abstract: An array substrate includes a plurality of display pixels arranged in an array. Each of the plurality of display pixels comprises a red subpixel R, a green subpixel G, and a blue subpixel B. Six of the consecutive display pixels arranged horizontally and/or longitudinally as a whole are repeatedly arranged in a pixel unit. An arrangement order of the subpixels in each of the six consecutive display pixels is totally different. The subpixels in the six consecutive display pixels are arranged as RGB, RBG, GRB, GBR, BRG, and BGR successively. The technical problems of the conventional tri-gate driver structure, such as poor image display and display quality, are resolved due to poor charging ability of pixels which are inclined to incomplete charging.
