Description
An embodiment of the present invention relates to a stereoscopic image display device and a driving method thereof.
The stereoscopic image display apparatus is divided into a binocular parallax technique and an autostereoscopic technique.
The binocular parallax method uses a parallax image of left and right eyes having a large stereoscopic effect. There are two types of binocular parallax: glasses and no glasses. The spectacle method displays a time-division method by changing the polarization direction of left and right parallax images on a direct view type liquid crystal panel or a projector, and realizes a stereoscopic image using polarized glasses or liquid crystal shutter glasses. The autostereoscopic method is generally provided with an optical plate such as a parallax barrier for separating the optical axis of the left and right parallax images in front of or behind the liquid crystal panel.
Recently, due to the commercialization of the stereoscopic image display device and the development of various technologies, a case of applying a patterned retarder, which is an optical film that changes the light modulation characteristics for each pattern, has been increasing. In the glasses type stereoscopic image display apparatus using a patterned retarder, the left eye image displayed on the liquid crystal panel passes only the left eye retarder and the right eye image passes only the right eye retarder so that crosstalk does not occur in the stereoscopic image. However, in the conventional glasses type stereoscopic image display apparatus using a patterned retarder, the left eye image can pass not only the left eye retarder but also the right eye retarder, and the right eye image can pass the left eye retarder like the left eye image. Measures should be taken to improve the crosstalk caused by the problem.
Embodiments of the present invention provide a stereoscopic image display apparatus and a driving method thereof capable of reducing crosstalk generated at a viewing angle.

Image correction to set the luminance to be converted, determine whether to perform low gray level optimization on the stereoscopic image reflecting the luminance to be converted, and correct the stereoscopic image reflecting the luminance to be converted according to the determination result of whether to perform the low gray level optimization. Provided is a stereoscopic image display device including a portion.
The image correction unit outputs the original stereoscopic image when low gray level optimization is not required for the stereoscopic image reflecting the luminance to be converted. Gradation can be converted.
The image correction unit sets the luminance to be converted using the following Modified Lum (LI) equation, and modifies Lum (LI) = Lum (LI)-| Lum (LI)-Lum (RI) | 3DCT (LI, RI). ), Where Lum (LI) is the luminance of the left eye image in the original stereoscopic image, Lum (RI) is the luminance of the right eye image in the original stereoscopic image, and 3DCT (LI, RI) occurs in the left and right eyes of the original stereoscopic image It may be a crosstalk for each gray level.
When determining whether to perform the low gray level optimization, the image correction unit processes a section in which the Modified Lum (LI) expression is <0, and if the Modified Lum (LI) equation is less than 0, low gray level optimization for the stereoscopic image is not required. If the Modified Lum (LI) equation is greater than 0, it may be determined that low gray level optimization for stereoscopic images is required.
The image corrector may correct a depth area of the stereoscopic image in which the luminance to be converted is reflected.
In another aspect, an embodiment of the present invention, the step of measuring the cross-talk for each gray level of the stereoscopic image display panel using a measuring device and deriving the measured stereoscopic image; Setting a luminance to be converted through a luminance difference between the original stereoscopic image supplied to the stereoscopic image display panel and the measured stereoscopic image; Determining whether to perform low gray level optimization on the stereoscopic image reflecting the luminance to be converted; And correcting the stereoscopic image in which the luminance to be converted is reflected according to the determination result of whether the low gradation optimization is performed.
The correcting of the stereoscopic image may include outputting an original stereoscopic image when low gray level optimization for the stereoscopic image reflecting the brightness to be converted is required, and outputting the original stereoscopic image when low gray level optimization for the stereoscopic image reflecting the brightness to be converted is required. Gradation can be converted to the luminance to be converted.
The step of setting the luminance to be converted is set by the following Modified Lum (LI) equation, where Modified Lum (LI) = Lum (LI)-| Lum (LI) -Lum (RI) | × 3DCT (LI, RI) Where Lum (LI) is the luminance of the left eye image in the original stereoscopic image, Lum (RI) is the luminance of the right eye image in the original stereoscopic image, and 3DCT (LI, RI) is generated in the left and right eyes of the original stereoscopic image. It may be crosstalk for each gray level.
In the step of determining whether to perform the low gradation optimization, the section where the Modified Lum (LI) expression is <0 is processed as 0, and when the Modified Lum (LI) expression is less than 0, it is determined that the low gradation optimization for the stereoscopic image is not required. If the Modified Lum (LI) equation is greater than 0, it may be determined that low gray level optimization for stereoscopic images is required.
In the correcting the stereoscopic image, the depth area of the stereoscopic image reflecting the luminance to be converted may be corrected.
An embodiment of the present invention sets the luminance to be converted through the luminance difference between the original stereoscopic image and the measured stereoscopic image, and reduces crosstalk generated at the viewing angle by performing low gray level optimization according to the characteristics of the stereoscopic image. It is effective to provide a stereoscopic image display device and a driving method thereof.

5 and 6, a left eye image and a right eye image are illustrated as original images. The left eye image and the right eye image included in the illustrated original image are image converted by the correction method according to the embodiment. In the case of the left eye image and the right eye image which are changed by the correction method, the allowable value of the depth area d is corrected to have a reduced profile than the measured value. In the case of the observed image after being changed by the correction method, it is not easy to distinguish the left eye image and the right eye image observed when the crosstalk is not zero.
However, referring to the graph of FIG. 6, the measured value before the image signal correction derived through the measurement indicates an angular range where crosstalk (3DCT)> 2%. However, when the left and right images are converted such that the allowable value is set to 2% and the crosstalk of about 1.5% is compensated by the correction method according to the embodiment, the side crosstalk (3DCT) is reduced and the front crosstalk (3DCT) is reduced.

Therefore, if the depth region of the stereoscopic image is corrected according to the correction method of the embodiment, it is possible to improve from ± 50 degrees before correction to ± 70 degrees after correction in an area of 2% or less due to the change of the crosstalk expected profile after image signal correction. do.
According to the above description, an embodiment of the present invention measures crosstalk generated when a left eye image passes through a right eye retarder and a right eye image passes through a left eye retarder through a patterned retarder, and determines a stereoscopic image according to an expected profile of crosstalk. By correcting the image, crosstalk generated at the viewing angle can be reduced.
Embodiment of the present invention is to set the luminance to be converted by the difference in luminance between the original stereoscopic image and the measured stereoscopic image, and to reduce the crosstalk generated in the viewing angle by the image correction to perform the low gradation optimization according to the characteristics of the stereoscopic image It is effective to provide a stereoscopic image display device and a driving method thereof.
