Abstract

A method and structure for allowing a liquid crystal device (LCD) display to be used in a computer running a variety of programs which may provide screen images of a variety of graphic modes, and which center the screen image in the LCD display without operator intervention or adjustment. The video mode of the video signal provided by the video driver is automatically detected without the need for specific instructions from the video driver. The active portion of the display signal is determined and appropriate offsets automatically provided in order to send a video signal to the LCD display having the proper horizontal and vertical frequencies, and a screen image which is centered on the LCD display. The optimum sampling phase is automatically determined by making a number of measurements at the different sampling phases and detecting which sampling phase provides the greatest contrast value, indicating that is the optimum sampling phase to be used.

Description of the Invention (1) Technical Field The present invention relates to a display device, particularly a computer display device including a liquid crystal device L · CD. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Various types of displays or monitors are used in computer systems. These include cathode ray tube (C R T) displays and low power, lighter liquid crystal device (LC D) displays. CRT displays use a raster-based approach, where most of them move across the screen from top to bottom of the screen and from left to right. When the electron beam is moved by this scanning surface pattern, its intensity is changed and the intensity of light in each part of the screen is changed to generate a camp screen image. In LCD monitors, the scanning surface method is not used, but the pixel array provided in the L CD screen is used. Each XY coordinate on the screen corresponds to an individual pixel whose intensity can be changed, and one pixel after another produces the desired screen image. Various industry standards for screen image resolution have been developed. Each such industry standard has unique characteristics, including resolution (the number of pixels per line, and the number of lines on each screen), a corresponding horizontal scanning frequency and a corresponding vertical scanning frequency. Table 1 below shows the relevant parameters of various popular industry standards.

Description of Inventions (3) Contemporary displays allow operation to the most popular industrial standards. In the C R T device, an automatic gain control (A G C) circuit is used to provide appropriate horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies for different resolutions. Although the A G C circuit cannot be perfectly centered for all modes, the entire display image can be displayed according to the horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies and because the CRT has a variable display area (when considering pixels). In order to obtain perfect centralization, users generally have to manually adjust the screen. However, for LCD devices, different problems will be faced. Because the LCD display is a fixed resolution device, and it only accepts fixed horizontal and vertical frequencies, the LCD display cannot be adjusted for different horizontal and vertical scanning frequencies of various industrial standard drawing modes. Centralization is also a problem because the LCD screen is a fixed-resolution display. If this horizontal centering is done incorrectly, data on the left or right side of the screen will be lost. If the vertical centering is not done correctly, the data at the top or bottom of the screen will also be lost. When driving an LCD monitor with a conventional analog monitor interface, there are the following problems: inputting analog data needs to be converted to digital form before driving the LCD monitor. However, the sampling clock information portion appears in the analog monitor interface. The LCD display therefore needs to generate a clock with the correct frequency and phase to correctly sample the analog image data.

Invention Note (4) (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) for image centering. The conventional art LCD monitor performs clock adjustment by delaying clock input data based on the clock. The user's setting can be saved in the E E P ROM of the system, but when the hardware surface of the display is changed, the setting needs to be adjusted again. This conventional LCD display only supports a preset number of display resolutions. Generally speaking, users need to manually adjust the computer system, which is an important disadvantage, especially when the computer becomes more and more complicated and delicate, and user convenience is being vigorously promoted (including complex and delicate technology to allow panels Plug into the motherboard without the user having to worry about bus hedging, interruption requirements, and other complex issues. There is a solution to the VESA standard that requires eight additional bits to be added first, and eight additional bits to be added later, Each horizontal sync (synchronization) pulse (in order to define how the screen image is centralized).

The horizontal sync pulse refers to when the new line of the screen image is about to start, and the R G B data refers to the brightness information in each pixel in a single county of the screen image. The horizontal synchronization appears on different lines and becomes RGB data. It defines when the CRT electron beam begins to sweep horizontally. As shown in Figure 1, the number of pixels from the active edge of the horizontal signal to the valid data is fixed for the special graphics mode, but X 値 is different for different graphics modes.

Invention Description (7) The relationship between the impact. The vertical sync pulses define when a new screen image is about to start 'and therefore' there are multiple horizontal sync pulses after each vertical sync pulse ', each corresponding to each line of the screen image. For each horizontal sync pulse, there is a corresponding r G B data stream (as shown in the above reference to Figure 1). According to the teachings of the present invention, the first step is to decompress a clock with a signal to drive the display. In this embodiment, a fixed clock or a set of fixed clocks that are useful for various most popular industrial standards is not used, because the horizontal clock system assumes that the image signal can be 0ff 'frequency, resulting in the generation of image data And the error in using the clock frequency between driving LCD displays. Therefore, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a one-line locked phase-locked loop (PLL) can be used to decompress the clock from the image signal. FIG. 3 is a timing diagram, describing in more detail a horizontal synchronization signal, RGB data in the form of a plurality of pulses executed at a preset clock frequency, and obtained by locking a PLL with a line driven by a free horizontal synchronization signal, and Compressed clock pulses locked to the frequency of analog RGB data.

Description of the invention () The graphic mode of the image of the LCD display is SVGA, and therefore, the image of the display is 800 × 600 pixels. In one embodiment, the incoming display mode detection circuit 407 provides horizontal count information as output data, which is related to being stored in the horizontal count register, and vertical count information related to the vertical frequency is stored in the vertical count register. Device. In one embodiment, the incoming display mode detection circuit 4 0 7 is generally implemented by the above-mentioned table. In another embodiment, the circuit 407 is implemented in software, hardware, or a combination of both, and is understood by those skilled in the art under the teachings of the present invention. The analog R G B signal is applied to the bus 403 to the analog to digital converters 408 — R, 408 — G, and 408 — B. The digital outputs of these analog-to-digital converters (eight bits each in one embodiment) are stored in the storage unit 4 3 (Fig. 5) for later application to the LCD display 4 2 (Fig. 5) . The digital outputs of this analog-to-digital converter 408 — R, 408 — G, and 408-B are also applied to the horizontal and vertical active / non-active detection circuits 409, which determine the role of the RGB data signal related to the horizontal synchronization signal. The position is shown in step 9 3 of FIG. 9. This is obtained by counting the number of compressed clock C L K cycle periods from the start of the horizontal sync pulse to the start of the action data portion of the R G B signal. . u n t i, and the number of clock cycles from the beginning of the horizontal pulse signal to the end of the active part of the R G B data signal is Η. ^ u n t 2 (as shown in Figure 7). This produces the first count He which marks the number of clock cycles to the beginning of the actuation R G B data portion. unt 1, and the moving part marked to the RGB data signal ^ The paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) _ (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) * Installation --- -Order ---- Bu- 丨 Bu, etc. 514858 A7 B7 5. The second count of the number of clock cycles at the end of the description of the invention (12). . u n t 2. This precisely defines the action data part of the horizontal line (such as reflected in the output signal of the horizontal / vertical action / non-action detection circuit 409), and therefore the position of the data is stored in the storage unit 43 (Figure 5). The difference between these two horizontal counts is equal to the number of horizontally actuated data pixels. In the example given above, for S V G A mode, this number should be equal to 8 0 0. If the difference between these two counts is not equal to 800, this means that the decompressed clock does not correspond correctly to the received clock used to generate the video signal. At this time, the line lock P L L 4 0 4 is adjusted as needed so that the difference between the first count and the second count is equal to the expected horizontal resolution of the detected graphics mode. This line locks the internal counter of PL L to increase / decrease to adjust the sampling clock frequency 'so that the counter is set to 80, for example. In the same way, the horizontal and vertical motion / non-motion detection circuits 4 0 9 ′ are counted by H s n from the start of the vertical sync pulse to the start of the action data portion of the R G B signal. The number of pulses gives V. . u n t, and the number of lines (H s y n. pulse) to the end of the active part of the R G B data signal is v. ^, n t 2, as shown in FIG. 8. This results in a first count V. . u n t 1 indicates the number of sweep lines to the beginning of the data portion of actuation r G B, and the second counts V. . u n t 2 is the number of scanning lines marked to the end of the active part of the R G B data signal. This is precisely defined in the action data part of the screen in the vertical direction, and it is reflected in the output signals from the horizontal and vertical motion / non-motion detection circuits 4 〇 This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) -15-(Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page). • Equipment -------- Order ---- r! 514858 A7 B7____ 5.

The difference between the two vertical counts is equal to the number of vertical actuation lines. In the example given above, this number should be equal to 600 for the sV G A mode. If the difference between the two counts is not equal to 6 0 0 ′, the current drawing mode is a standard drawing mode. One non-standard mode of operation is a mode derived from the standard mode table (as an example of Table 1). For example, the standard 1024x768 60 Hz XGA mode is printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and has a pixel (horizontal) rate of 65 MHz. In non-standard mode, this frequency can be set to 65 · 5Hhz. In the 65 · 5 Mh z example, the number of pixels for each display width will not be equal to 1 0 2 4 when using the standard X G A mode setting. In one embodiment, when the firmware adjustment line locks the cycle of PL L 4 0 4 so that the number of pixels of each actuated display width is equal to 10 2 4. If the adjustment line in the preset range locks the PLL 4 0 4 bits to generate the correct number of pixels for each display width (1 0 2 4 at this time), the firmware will default to the standard XGA setting. , Otherwise use the new PLL clock period. By continuously monitoring the RGB data received from the analog to digital converters 4 0 8-R '4 0 8-G and 4 0 8 — B, horizontal and vertical motion / non-motion detection circuits 4 0 9 can be used for most After the start of the horizontal synchronization pulse to the RGB data, the minimum counter is determined to determine the start of the RGB action data part of the signal. This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm ~-16-514858 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (14) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page), and determine the maximum counter for valid RGB data 値 to determine the action data part of the RGB signal The end. By monitoring multiple horizontal lines (such as all lines in a box) in this way, it is ensured that the leftmost pixel on the line is valid data, and an effective line is valid data on its rightmost pixel. To effectively determine the full width of the active RGB data portion. In a similar manner, by monitoring one or more screen images, it is possible to determine (or at least very similar) to receive a first line in an image with at least one moving pixel, and a last line in In an image with at least one moving pixel, the full extension of the vertical moving part is determined by this. As shown in steps 9 6 and 9 7 of FIG. 9, by determining the moving and non-moving parts of the horizontal and vertical extensions of the screen image, the screen image can be automatically centered. This is to properly guide the blank rows of each frame and properly guide the blank pixels of each row by sending a valid screen image to the display controller. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Assume that the line lock PLL 4 0 4 is used as a decompression time from a horizontal synchronization signal with a frequency equal to the clock used by a graphics card (not shown) Clock to send screen image information, the clock signal CLK can be the same frequency, but it is outside the clock phase used by the graphics card. If it is always out of phase, the R G B data will not be properly sampled from the analog to digital converters 4 0 — R, 4 0 — G, and 4 8 — B, but it will be an inappropriate screen image. Therefore, under the features of the present invention, the line lock P L L 4 0 4 has the ability to phase-adjust its output clock signal C L K. In one embodiment, -17- is used as an automatic adjustment line to lock the phase of the PLL clock signal CLK. This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm). Consumption by employees of the Intellectual Property Bureau Printed by the cooperative 514858 A7 —— ___ B7____ V. Description of the invention (15) The method is shown in Figure 10. The first step is to select the line that displays the image with the highest change in intensity (as shown in step 101 of the flowchart of Fig. 10). This is done to avoid using blank or solid white lines when processing (and will produce very poor results). In one embodiment, in order to determine which line has the greatest change in intensity, adjacent pixels are compared and the sum is tabulated. Therefore, for each line of the box, the following 値 will be calculated: ^ Intensity = ~ PL I2 i = l 丨 丨 where η = number of pixels on a line, P i = pixel intensity. Providing a button on the LCD display to manually adjust the phase of the sampling clock CLK by the user to a point where the user thinks that the pixels look good has a significant advantage. Deciding which line has the largest change in intensity is performed synchronously for a number of boxes or each line of a box, or sequentially on a single line of each box up to the entire box (or a desired part of it) Has its detected line intensity changes. If required, the video driver (Figure 5) executed by the computer 41 can provide a specific image to the screen, although it is known that this is generally not needed because it is not needed because when the computer is turned on, an image is sent to the The screen and hold the image for a considerable period of time to allow operation. Further, it is better that the screen image during this time is not sent, because the L CD display 4 2 in FIG. 5 is not sent from the screen control circuit 4 0 0 to allow the LCD display 4 2 to change during this time.

Description of the invention (16) Although the computer 4 1 provides video signal screen control circuit 4 0 0. In this embodiment, Only after the screen control circuit 400 is actuated, the screen control circuit 400 provides an active video signal to the LCD display 4 2 〇 Figure 1 1 shows the general magnified part of the RGB signal, the display of which corresponds to several consecutive pixels Analog signal. Because this is an analog signal, the sampling point is very important. For example, the possible sampling points S i and S 2 will produce incorrect data, and the sampling point S 3 will produce correct data, so it provides the maximum Screen image contrast. Once the front line is selected to have the largest contrast At the same time, the line will be sampled several times, each time with a different phase, so as to use analog to digital converters 408-R, 408 — B, 408 — G and other analog RGB data. The delta intensity of the line is stored For each variation in the sampling phase, the results are shown in Figure 12. The maximum delta intensity is used as the optimal phase for the selected sampling, and it is the phase adjusted by the line lock PLL 4 0 4 to provide The clock signal CLK has the optimal phase for sampling. In another embodiment, the sampling phase detection is performed by comparing the intensity of the sampled pixels in different frames. By using the storage device of FIG. The screen control circuit in FIG. 5 is internally stored within 400, and the previous block element intensity is stored and compared with the existing block element intensity. If the sampling phase is correct, the intensity difference (Δ intensity) is minimal値.
