Description
The present invention relates to an image processing circuit and an image processing method capable of preventing image quality deterioration due to a stereoscopic afterimage from being recognized, and an organic light emitting diode display using the same.
The image display device that realizes various information on the screen is a core technology of the information communication age and it is becoming thinner, lighter, more portable and higher performance. Accordingly, a flat panel display device capable of reducing weight and volume, which is a disadvantage of a cathode ray tube (CRT), has attracted attention. Examples of such flat panel display devices include a liquid crystal display (LCD) using liquid crystal, an OLED display using an organic light emitting diode (OLED), an electrophoretic display using an electrophoretic particle ; EPD).
Among them, the OLED display uses an OLED element, which is self-emitting by the organic light emitting layer between the anode and the cathode, as each subpixel, and shows excellent image quality such as excellent contrast ratio characteristics. .
However, due to the self-emission characteristics of the OLED device, the OLED display device is deteriorated as the driving time elapses, so that a difference in brightness is caused by a deterioration difference between adjacent unit pixels, and a color difference occurs due to a deterioration difference between sub- do. Such a difference in brightness and color is perceived by the user and is recognized as a permanent afterimage.
Particularly, in a regular image area where a fixed image such as a logo or a menu or an icon of a mobile device is displayed for a long time in a fixed image area, the OLED element is relatively rapidly deteriorated as the OLED element emits for a long time. As a result, there is a problem that a stereoscopic afterimage in which the stereoscopic image is recognized as a residual image is generated.
An object of the present invention is to provide an image processing circuit and an image processing method capable of preventing image quality deterioration due to a stereoscopic afterimage from being recognized, and an organic light emitting diode display using the same.
In order to achieve the above object, an image processing circuit and an image processing method according to the present invention, and an organic light emitting diode display using the same, may be configured to detect a specific gravity of blue data for an input image to calculate a blue constant, The blurring processing of the blue data is performed using a predetermined blurring filter.
In the present invention, blurring processing is performed only for blue data with a relatively low luminance contribution, thereby preventing image quality deterioration due to still image retention from being recognized by changing the still image retention to an atypical after-image. Further, in the present invention, blurring processing of blue data slows deterioration of the blue light emitting element, thereby extending the service life.

The pixel driving circuit supplies a data current corresponding to a data signal supplied to the data line DL to the organic light emitting diode OLED in response to a scan signal supplied to the scan line SL. To this end, the pixel driver circuit includes a switching transistor Tr_S, a driving transistor Tr_D, and a capacitor C. The switching transistor Tr_S is switched according to a scan signal supplied to the scan line SL to supply a data signal to the data line DL to the drive transistor Tr_D. The driving transistor Tr_D is switched in accordance with the data signal supplied from the switching transistor Tr_S to control the current flowing from the high potential power supply VDD to the organic light emitting element OLED. The capacitor C is connected between the scan terminal of the drive transistor Tr_D and the low potential power supply VSS and stores a voltage corresponding to the data signal supplied to the scan terminal of the drive transistor Tr_S, (Tr_D) is kept constant for one frame.
The organic light emitting element OLED is electrically connected between the source terminal of the driving transistor Tr_D and the low potential power supply VSS and emits light by a current corresponding to the data signal supplied from the driving transistor Tr_D. To this end, the organic light emitting device OLED includes an anode electrode connected to the source terminal of the driving transistor Tr_D, an organic layer formed on the anode electrode, and a cathode electrode formed on the organic layer. Here, the organic layer may include a hole injection layer / a hole transporting layer / a light emitting layer / an electron transporting layer / an electron injection layer.
Thus, each of the red (R), green (G) and blue (B) sub-pixels is driven by the switching of the driving transistor Tr_D in accordance with the data signal to flow from the high potential power source VDD to the organic light emitting element OLED A predetermined color is expressed by controlling the magnitude of the current to cause the light emitting layer of the organic light emitting element OLED to emit light.
Among these red (R), green (G) and blue (B) sub-pixels, the luminous efficiency of the blue sub-pixel is the lowest. Accordingly, since the blue sub-pixel is required to be driven more than the other sub-pixels in order to achieve the same luminance, the lifetime of the blue sub-pixel is shortened. In this case, when a white image is implemented using red, green, and blue sub-pixels, an afterimage having a non-white color and a yellow color is generated. As such, the blue sub-pixel has the shortest lifetime and has the greatest influence on the afterimage. In order to solve this afterimage, in the present invention, the gray value of the blue data having a low contribution to the brightness value for determining the sharpness of the image is lowered and blurring processing is performed, so that deterioration of the blue sub- It is possible to change the atypical afterimage to the stereoscopic residual image.
Accordingly, in the present invention, blue (B) data is blurred through the image processing method shown in FIG. 4 using the
The
The
In Equation (2), n denotes the number of non-blue sub-pixels that are not blue sub-pixels per unit pixel. For example, when each unit pixel is composed of red, green, and blue sub-pixels, n is 2, and n is 3 when each unit pixel is composed of red, green, blue, and white sub-pixels.
The
Specifically, when the blue constant CB exceeds the threshold value?, Since the image data of one frame is mostly composed of blue (B) data, the blue (B) data is outputted as it is without correction. That is, when the image data of one frame is mostly composed of blue data, if all the data are corrected through the blurring filter, the edge area is lost by blurring filtering and becomes blurred. Therefore, when the image data of one frame is mostly composed of blue data, the blue data is directly output without correction and the sharpness is maintained.
The blurring filter is applied only to the blue (B) data among the red (R), green (G), and blue (B) data of one frame when the blue constant CB is below the threshold value. At this time, the blurring coefficient of the blurring filter changes depending on the blue constant CB. For example, the blurring filter uses a Gaussian filter that generates a blurring mask (BM) using a Gaussian function such as Equation (3). In this case, the mask size (N x N) and standard deviation (?) Of the Gaussian filter are set to be in inverse proportion to the blue constant CB.
As the standard deviation (?) Described in Equation (3) is larger, the Gaussian function G (x, y) spreads more widely as shown in Fig. 5, and a larger blurring effect can be obtained. ) Is larger, the mask size (NxN) also becomes larger. For example, when the blue constant CB is a predetermined first value, the Gaussian filter blurring the blue data using a 3 × 3 blurring mask BM as shown in FIG. 6, and the blue constant ( CB) is smaller than the first value, blurring processing of the blue data is performed using the 5 × 5 blurring mask (BM). In each blurring mask BM, a weight for blue data is set, and the total sum of weights of the blurring mask BM is set to one. The weights are set so as to gradually decrease from the center cell to the outer cell of the blurring mask BM or to have the same value for each cell. On the other hand, the blurring mask BM shown in Fig. 6 is an embodiment, but it is not limited thereto.
The blue data of one frame is converted by repeatedly performing the blurring process on the blue data while shifting the blurring mask BM on a pixel-by-pixel basis. That is, as shown in FIG. 7, the
The
As described above, according to the present invention, blurring processing is performed only for blue data with a relatively low luminance contribution, thereby preventing the image quality deterioration due to the afterimage due to the afterimage by the blue light emitting element from being changed to the atypical afterimage, can do. In addition, since the present invention does not perform blurring processing on red and green data having a relatively high luminance contribution degree, as compared with the case of blurring all the red, green, and blue data as shown in FIG. 8, Sharpness) can be maintained.

As described above, according to the present invention, blurring processing is performed only on blue (B) data of a regular image region, thereby changing the after-image still image caused by the blue light emitting element to an atypical afterimage to improve the deterioration of the perceived image quality. In addition, since the present invention does not perform blurring processing on red and green data with relatively high luminance contribution, sharpness (sharpness) can be maintained.
