Description

像素驅動方法及面板驅動電路 Pixel driving method and panel driving circuit

本發明是有關於一種像素驅動方法,且特別是有關於一種改善色偏現象的像素驅動方法。 The present invention relates to a pixel driving method, and more particularly, to a pixel driving method for improving a color shift phenomenon.

高對比和廣視角是目前大螢幕電視的發展趨勢。一般電視的視角有限,在超過一定的觀看角度時,觀賞者的視覺上會產生顏色失真及亮度的差異。目前許多電視的廠商都致力於發展液晶電視的廣視角技術(wide view technology),其將同一像素區中的液晶分子區分成多個不同配向領域,即多域(multi-domain),藉以達到廣視角的顯示效果。 High contrast and wide viewing angle are the current development trends of large-screen TVs. The angle of view of a general television is limited. When it exceeds a certain viewing angle, the viewer's vision will produce color distortion and brightness differences. At present, many TV manufacturers are committed to the development of wide-view technology of LCD TVs, which divides liquid crystal molecules in the same pixel area into multiple different alignment domains, that is, multi-domain, so as to achieve wide The display effect of the viewing angle.

然而,由於受限於液晶的光學特性,此種廣視角液晶顯示面板在不同視角觀看下會發生色偏(Color Washout)的現象。為了改善色偏現象,廣視角的液晶顯示面板更將像素分別定義為多個子像素,並以空間域補償技術來差異化各子像素之間的Gamma曲線輸出特性。雖然有效地改善了色偏現象,但也由於各個子像素間的色度和亮度不相同,造成以同一個灰階值驅動的像素有色差(Color Difference)的狀況發生,使得液晶顯示面板顯 示的均勻色塊影像在視覺上亦會有網格斑紋(Mesh)。此外,由於使用了空間域補償技術差異化各子像素,可能造成觀賞者的視覺上感受到畫面的不連續感。 However, due to the optical characteristics of liquid crystals, such a wide-viewing-angle liquid crystal display panel may experience color washout under different viewing angles. In order to improve the color shift phenomenon, the wide viewing angle liquid crystal display panel further defines pixels as a plurality of sub-pixels, and uses a spatial domain compensation technology to differentiate the output characteristics of the gamma curve between the sub-pixels. Although the color shift phenomenon is effectively improved, the color difference between the pixels driven by the same grayscale value occurs due to the different chromaticity and brightness between the sub-pixels, which makes the liquid crystal display panel display The uniform color block image shown in the image will also have a grid pattern (Mesh). In addition, because the spatial domain compensation technology is used to differentiate the sub-pixels, the viewer may feel the discontinuity of the picture visually.

本發明係有關於一種像素驅動方法,用以改善空間域補償技術中的影像品質。 The present invention relates to a pixel driving method for improving image quality in a spatial domain compensation technology.

The first pixel is driven according to a first output grayscale value, and the first output grayscale value is equal to a sum of a product of the first weight and the input grayscale value and a product of the second weight and the first corresponding value. Wherein, when the saturation is greater than the first critical value, the value of the first weight increases as the value of the saturation increases, and the maximum value of the first weight is less than 0.8.

垂直排列液晶(Vertical Alignment,VA)與扭轉向列型(Twisted Nematic,TN)液晶相比有更高的對比度和更廣的可視角度,是目前大螢幕液晶電視採用的主流技術。但VA液晶顯示器可能有大視角色彩洗白的缺點,近年來搭配多域技術進步,可有效降低大視角色偏的缺點。 Compared with Twisted Nematic (TN) liquid crystals, vertical alignment liquid crystals (Vertical Alignment, VA) have higher contrast and wider viewing angles, which is the mainstream technology used in large-screen LCD TVs. However, the VA liquid crystal display may have the disadvantage of large viewing angle color whitening. In recent years, with the advancement of multi-domain technology, the disadvantage of large viewing angle can be effectively reduced.

舉例而言,使用空間域技術,可將面板的像素區分為主要(Main)子像素與輔助(Sub)子像素兩種形式,讓兩種形式 (Main與Sub)的子像素個別有不同的Gamma曲線輸出特性。雖然微觀下Main與Sub子像素不同的Gamma曲線在大視角色偏情況不相同,但是巨觀上Main與Sub綜合混色效果可有效減少色偏情況,提升大視角色彩品質。而由於像素間Gamma曲線差異,可能在視覺上會有菱格紋的感受,或在色塊上容易不連續,造成視覺上明顯的破碎感。 For example, using the spatial domain technology, the pixels of the panel can be divided into two forms: the main sub-pixel and the sub-sub-pixel. The main pixels (Main and Sub) have different Gamma curve output characteristics. Although the Gamma curves of the Main and Sub sub-pixels at the micro level are different in the role of large viewing, the comprehensive mixing effect of Main and Sub on the macro view can effectively reduce the color deviation and improve the color quality of large viewing angles. However, due to the difference in the gamma curve between pixels, there may be a feeling of diamonds in the visual sense, or it may be easily discontinuous in the color block, causing a visually sense of fragmentation.

舉例而言,面板上的每個像素可以具有紅色(R)子像素、綠色(G)子像素、和藍色(B)子像素。第1圖繪示依照本發明第一實施例的像素示意圖。在一實施例中,第一像素和第二像素可以用於顯示同一色塊影像,亦即第一像素和第二像素所接收的色塊影像具有相同灰階值。第一像素和第二像素中各別的紅色子像素、綠色子像素和藍色子像素分別是以MSM型式和SMS型式驅動,其中M代表Main子像素,S代表Sub子像素。在以下說明書中,對於具有MSM型式的像素稱作A像素,對於具有SMS型式的像素稱作B像素。 For example, each pixel on the panel may have a red (R) sub-pixel, a green (G) sub-pixel, and a blue (B) sub-pixel. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a pixel according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In an embodiment, the first pixel and the second pixel may be used to display the same color block image, that is, the color block images received by the first pixel and the second pixel have the same grayscale value. The red, green, and blue sub-pixels in the first pixel and the second pixel are respectively driven by the MSM type and the SMS type, where M represents the Main subpixel and S represents the Sub subpixel. In the following description, a pixel having an MSM type is referred to as an A pixel, and a pixel having an SMS type is referred to as a B pixel.

由於Main子像素以及Sub子像素係使用不同的Gamma曲線,如此能夠達到降低色偏的效果。表一列示使用空間域技術,對於相同的輸入灰階值差異化Main子像素與Sub子像素的範例,並且使用如上所述的A像素與B像素結構。表一所示的值例如是根據Gamma曲線函式計算所得到的結果,於硬體實作中,亦可以使用查找表儲存灰階值與輸出Main子像素及Sub子像素的 關係,而能夠藉由查表方式以及內插運算,得到如表一所示的A像素及B像素。 Since the main sub-pixel and the sub-pixel use different gamma curves, the effect of reducing color shift can be achieved in this way. Table 1 shows an example of using the spatial domain technology to differentiate the Main sub-pixel and the Sub sub-pixel for the same input grayscale value, and uses the A pixel and B pixel structures described above. The values shown in Table 1 are calculated according to the Gamma curve function. In hardware implementation, you can also use a lookup table to store the grayscale values and output the values of the Main and Sub subpixels. The relationship can be obtained through the table lookup method and interpolation operation, as shown in Table A and B pixels.

而在一實施例中,更可以依據輸入灰階值所對應的飽和度,據以調整A像素與B像素的灰階值,以得到更佳的顯示效果。以下請參考第2圖以及第3圖說明本發明的實施例。 In one embodiment, the grayscale values of the A pixel and the B pixel can be adjusted according to the saturation corresponding to the input grayscale value to obtain a better display effect. Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

第2圖繪示依照本發明第一實施例的像素驅動方法流程圖。像素驅動方法用以驅動顯示面板,顯示面板具有第一像素,像素驅動方法包括以下步驟。 FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a pixel driving method according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The pixel driving method is used to drive a display panel. The display panel has a first pixel. The pixel driving method includes the following steps.

步驟S100:接收輸入灰階值Xin,此輸入灰階值Xin定義飽和度S。 Step S100: Receive an input grayscale value Xin, and this input grayscale value Xin defines the saturation S.

步驟S102:根據輸入灰階值Xin,設定第一像素對應的第一對應值D1。步驟S104:根據飽和度S設定第一權重w1及第二權重w2,第一權重w1及第二權重w2的總和為固定值。 Step S102: Set a first corresponding value D1 corresponding to the first pixel according to the input grayscale value Xin. Step S104: Set the first weight w1 and the second weight w2 according to the saturation S, and the sum of the first weight w1 and the second weight w2 is a fixed value.

步驟S106:根據第一輸出灰階值Z1驅動第一像素,第一輸出灰階值Z1等於第一權重w1與輸入灰階值Xin的乘積以及第二權重w2與第一對應值D1的乘積之加總。其中,當飽和度S大於 第一臨界值N1時,第一權重w1之值係隨著飽和度S之值的增加而增加,且第一權重w1之最大值wM係小於0.8。 Step S106: The first pixel is driven according to the first output grayscale value Z1. The first output grayscale value Z1 is equal to the product of the first weight w1 and the input grayscale value Xin and the product of the second weight w2 and the first corresponding value D1. Add up. When the saturation S is greater than the first critical value N1, the value of the first weight w1 increases as the value of the saturation S increases, and the maximum value w M of the first weight w1 is less than 0.8.

搭配參考第2圖所繪示的像素驅動方法,第3圖繪示依照本發明第一實施例的面板驅動電路示意圖。面板驅動電路200用以與顯示面板300電性耦接,顯示面板300具有第一像素,面板驅動電路200包括灰階值產生電路210以及驅動電路220。灰階值產生電路210用以接收輸入灰階值Xin,並根據輸入灰階值Xin設定第一像素對應的第一對應值D1,此輸入灰階值Xin定義飽和度S。驅動電路220可用以計算輸入灰階值Xin對應的飽和度S,並根據飽和度S設定第一權重w1及第二權重w2,驅動電路220並用以根據第一輸出灰階值Z1驅動第一像素,第一輸出灰階值Z1等於第一權重w1與輸入灰階值Xin的乘積以及第二權重w2與第一對應值D1的乘積之加總,驅動電路220可計算第一輸出灰階值Z1。其中第一權重w1及第二權重w2的總和為固定值,當飽和度S大於第一臨界值N1時,第一權重w1之值係隨著飽和度S之值的增加而增加,且第一權重w1之最大值wM係小於0.8。 With reference to the pixel driving method shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of a panel driving circuit according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The panel driving circuit 200 is electrically coupled to the display panel 300. The display panel 300 has a first pixel. The panel driving circuit 200 includes a grayscale value generating circuit 210 and a driving circuit 220. The grayscale value generating circuit 210 is configured to receive an input grayscale value Xin and set a first corresponding value D1 corresponding to the first pixel according to the input grayscale value Xin. This input grayscale value Xin defines the saturation S. The driving circuit 220 may be configured to calculate the saturation S corresponding to the input grayscale value Xin, and set the first weight w1 and the second weight w2 according to the saturation S. The driving circuit 220 is further configured to drive the first pixel according to the first output grayscale value Z1. The first output grayscale value Z1 is equal to the product of the first weight w1 and the input grayscale value Xin and the product of the second weight w2 and the first corresponding value D1. The driving circuit 220 can calculate the first output grayscale value Z1. . The sum of the first weight w1 and the second weight w2 is a fixed value. When the saturation S is greater than the first critical value N1, the value of the first weight w1 increases as the value of the saturation S increases, and the first The maximum value w M of the weight w1 is less than 0.8.

以像素具有紅色子像素、綠色子像素和藍色子像素的例子來說,輸入灰階值Xin定義的飽和度S可以是依據下列公式計算,其中Rin、Gin、Bin分別是輸入灰階值Xin的紅色輸入灰階值、綠色輸入灰階值、藍色輸入灰階值。 Taking the example that the pixel has a red subpixel, a green subpixel, and a blue subpixel, the saturation S defined by the input grayscale value Xin can be calculated according to the following formula, where Rin, Gin, and Bin are the input grayscale values Xin, respectively. Enter the grayscale value for red, grayscale value for green, and grayscale value for blue.

以表一數值為例,第一列的輸入灰階值(192,8,8),所對應的飽和度S為0.96,屬於高飽和度;第二列的輸入灰階值(192,96,96),所對應的飽和度S為0.5,屬於中飽和度;第三列的輸入灰階值(192,192,192),所對應的飽和度S為0,屬於低飽和度。計算飽和度S例如可由驅動電路220執行。 Taking the values in Table 1 as an example, the input grayscale value of the first column (192,8,8) corresponds to a saturation S of 0.96, which is a high saturation; the input grayscale value of the second column (192,96, 96), the corresponding saturation S is 0.5, which belongs to the middle saturation; the input gray level value (192,192,192) in the third column, and the corresponding saturation S is 0, which belongs to the low saturation. The calculation of the saturation S may be performed by the driving circuit 220, for example.

步驟S102根據輸入灰階值Xin,設定第一像素對應的第一對應值D1。若輸入灰階值Xin具有紅色輸入灰階值、綠色輸入灰階值、藍色輸入灰階值,如表一所示,第一對應值D1可以是表一所示的A像素之值或B像素之值;若輸入灰階值Xin具有單一灰階值,第一對應值D1可以是A像素或B像素其中的一個子像素之值。步驟S102可以是根據Gamma曲線的函式而計算得到(對於Main子像素與Sub子像素使用不同的Gamma曲線),亦可以預先建立好對照表,儲存灰階值與第一對應值D1的關係。 Step S102 sets a first corresponding value D1 corresponding to the first pixel according to the input grayscale value Xin. If the input grayscale value Xin has a red input grayscale value, a green input grayscale value, and a blue input grayscale value, as shown in Table 1, the first corresponding value D1 may be the value of A pixel or B shown in Table 1. The pixel value; if the input grayscale value Xin has a single grayscale value, the first corresponding value D1 may be the value of one of the sub-pixels of the A pixel or the B pixel. Step S102 may be calculated according to the function of the Gamma curve (different Gamma curves are used for the Main subpixel and the Sub subpixel), or a comparison table may be established in advance to store the relationship between the grayscale value and the first corresponding value D1.

若第一像素為單一子像素,具有單一灰階值,當第一像素顯示為主要像素(Main)時,第一對應值D1係為對應主要Gamma曲線之第一主要對應值;當第一像素顯示為輔助像素(Sub)時,第一對應值D1係為對應輔助Gamma曲線之第一輔助對應值。主要Gamma曲線與輔助Gamma曲線不相同。若第一像素具有多個子像素,例如包括RGB三個灰階值,則如前所述可能是以A像素(MSM)型式顯示或是以B像素(SMS)型式顯示。當第一像素顯示為A像素(MSM,可界定為主要像素)時,其中的R灰階值對應主要Gamma曲線之主要對應值,G灰階值對應輔助Gamma曲線之 輔助對應值,B灰階值對應主要Gamma曲線之主要對應值;當第一像素顯示為B像素(SMS,可界定為輔助像素)時,其中的R灰階值對應輔助Gamma曲線之輔助對應值,G灰階值對應主要Gamma曲線之主要對應值,B灰階值對應輔助Gamma曲線之輔助對應值。 If the first pixel is a single sub-pixel and has a single gray level value, when the first pixel is displayed as the main pixel (Main), the first corresponding value D1 is the first main corresponding value corresponding to the main Gamma curve; when the first pixel is When displayed as an auxiliary pixel (Sub), the first corresponding value D1 is the first auxiliary corresponding value corresponding to the auxiliary Gamma curve. The main gamma curve is different from the auxiliary gamma curve. If the first pixel has multiple sub-pixels, for example, including three gray-scale values of RGB, it may be displayed in the A-pixel (MSM) type or the B-pixel (SMS) type as described above. When the first pixel is displayed as an A pixel (MSM, which can be defined as the main pixel), the R gray level value corresponds to the main corresponding value of the main Gamma curve, and the G gray level value corresponds to the main Gamma curve. Auxiliary corresponding value, the B gray level value corresponds to the main corresponding value of the main gamma curve; when the first pixel is displayed as a B pixel (SMS, can be defined as an auxiliary pixel), the R gray level value thereof corresponds to the auxiliary corresponding value of the auxiliary gamma curve The G gray level value corresponds to the main corresponding value of the main Gamma curve, and the B gray level value corresponds to the auxiliary corresponding value of the auxiliary Gamma curve.

步驟S102例如由灰階值產生電路210所執行,灰階值產生電路210例如是查找表電路,可執行查表及內插運算,或者灰階值產生電路210可以是具有數學運算能力可執行函式運算的電路,可由Gamma曲線函式計算得到第一對應值D1。在以下說明內容中,步驟S102從輸入灰階值Xin轉換為第一對應值D1的步驟,可稱作空間域(Spatial Domain,SD)步驟。 Step S102 is performed by, for example, a gray-scale value generating circuit 210. The gray-scale value generating circuit 210 is, for example, a look-up table circuit that can perform table lookup and interpolation operations. The circuit of the formula operation can be calculated by the Gamma curve function to obtain the first corresponding value D1. In the following description, the step of converting step S102 from the input grayscale value Xin to the first corresponding value D1 may be referred to as a spatial domain (SD) step.

步驟S104根據飽和度S設定第一權重w1與第二權重w2。舉例而言,第一像素最終所對應的第一輸出灰階值Z1,可以是根據以下兩者而決定:(1)SD步驟之後的第一對應值D1,以及(2)SD步驟之前的輸入灰階值Xin。而第一權重w1與第二權重w2可以分別對應輸入灰階值Xin與第一對應值D1所佔的比重。第一權重w1與第二權重w2的總和為固定值,在一實施例中,第一權重w1與第二權重w2總和是1,當然本發明並不限於此,第一權重w1與第二權重w2的總和亦可以是其他常數。 Step S104 sets a first weight w1 and a second weight w2 according to the saturation S. For example, the first output grayscale value Z1 corresponding to the first pixel may be determined according to the following: (1) the first corresponding value D1 after the SD step, and (2) the input before the SD step Grayscale value Xin. The first weight w1 and the second weight w2 may respectively correspond to the proportions of the input grayscale value Xin and the first corresponding value D1. The sum of the first weight w1 and the second weight w2 is a fixed value. In one embodiment, the sum of the first weight w1 and the second weight w2 is 1. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. The first weight w1 and the second weight The sum of w2 can also be other constants.

步驟S106根據第一輸出灰階值Z1驅動第一像素,第一輸出灰階值Z1等於第一權重w1與輸入灰階值Xin的乘積以及第二權重w2與第一對應值D1的乘積之加總,亦即, Z1=w1×Xin+w2×D1,根據計算得到的輸出灰階值Z1驅動第一像素。步驟S104及步驟S106可由驅動電路220執行。 Step S106 drives the first pixel according to the first output grayscale value Z1. The first output grayscale value Z1 is equal to the product of the first weight w1 and the input grayscale value Xin and the product of the second weight w2 and the first corresponding value D1. Total, that is, Z1 = w1 × Xin + w2 × D1, and drives the first pixel according to the calculated output grayscale value Z1. Steps S104 and S106 can be performed by the driving circuit 220.

第一權重w1係根據飽和度S而設定。在飽和度S大於第一臨界值N1(舉例而言,N1=0.7)時,可稱為高飽和度區間。在高飽和度區間,第一權重w1之值係隨著飽和度S之值的增加而增加,且第一權重w1之最大值wM係小於0.8。亦即,在飽和度S達到最大飽和度時(例如飽和度S=1),第一權重w1達到的最大值wM小於0.8,表示當最大飽和度時,第一輸出灰階值Z1是由部分的原始輸入灰階值Xin及部分的第一對應值D1(有執行SD步驟)所組成。第一權重w1之最大值wM的數值範圍例如是0.6~0.8。 The first weight w1 is set according to the saturation S. When the saturation S is greater than the first critical value N1 (for example, N1 = 0.7), it may be referred to as a high saturation interval. In the high-saturation interval, the value of the first weight w1 increases as the value of the saturation S increases, and the maximum value w M of the first weight w1 is less than 0.8. That is, when the saturation S reaches the maximum saturation (for example, the saturation S = 1), the maximum value w M reached by the first weight w1 is less than 0.8, which means that when the maximum saturation is reached, the first output grayscale value Z1 is determined by The original input grayscale value Xin of the part and the first corresponding value D1 of the part (with the SD step) are composed. The value range of the maximum value w M of the first weight w1 is, for example, 0.6 to 0.8.

以表一資料為例,輸入灰階值Xin是(192,8,8),飽和度S=0.96,若對應的第一權重w1=0.7,第二權重w2=0.3,則對應的A像素(MSM)的第一輸出灰階值Z1=w1×Xin+w2×D1=0.7×(192,8,8)+0.3×(228,3,11)=(203,7,9),對應的B像素(SMS)的第一輸出灰階值Z1=0.7×(192,8,8)+0.3×(150,12,3)=(179,9,7)。可以看出在經過第一權重w1與第二權重w2的調整後,A像素第一輸出灰階值Z1與B像素第一輸出灰階值Z1之間的色差減少了(相較於A像素第一對應值D1與B像素第一對應值D1之間的色差)。 Taking the data in Table 1 as an example, the input grayscale value Xin is (192,8,8), and the saturation S = 0.96. If the corresponding first weight w1 = 0.7 and the second weight w2 = 0.3, the corresponding A pixel ( MSM) first output grayscale value Z1 = w1 × Xin + w2 × D1 = 0.7 × (192,8,8) + 0.3 × (228,3,11) = (203,7,9), corresponding to B The first output grayscale value of the pixel (SMS) is Z1 = 0.7 × (192,8,8) + 0.3 × (150,12,3) = (179,9,7). It can be seen that after adjustment of the first weight w1 and the second weight w2, the color difference between the first output grayscale value Z1 of the A pixel and the first output grayscale value Z1 of the B pixel is reduced (compared to the first pixel w1 A color difference between a corresponding value D1 and the first corresponding value D1 of the B pixel).

第4圖繪示依照本發明第一實施例的第一權重w1與飽和度S的關係示意圖。在以下實施例中,第一權重w1及第二權重w2的範圍為0到1,第一權重w1及第二權重w2的總和為1,然而 這些數字僅為示例性說明,亦可以使用其他常數。飽和度S的範圍例如為0到1,當飽和度S大於第一臨界值N1的高飽和度區間,第一權重w1之值隨著飽和度S之值的增加而增加,當飽和度S等於飽和度最大值(此例中為1)時,飽和度S係對應至第一權重w1之最大值wM(例如是0.7)。在此實施例中,於高飽和度區間第一權重w1之值係隨著飽和度S之值線性增加,然而並不限於此,第一權重w1之值亦可以是隨著飽和度S之值而非線性增加。 FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the first weight w1 and the saturation S according to the first embodiment of the present invention. In the following embodiments, the range of the first weight w1 and the second weight w2 is 0 to 1, and the sum of the first weight w1 and the second weight w2 is 1. However, these numbers are only exemplary, and other constants may be used. . The range of the saturation S is, for example, 0 to 1. When the saturation S is greater than the high saturation interval of the first critical value N1, the value of the first weight w1 increases as the value of the saturation S increases. When the saturation S is equal to When the saturation maximum value (1 in this example), the saturation degree S corresponds to the maximum value w M (for example, 0.7) of the first weight w1. In this embodiment, the value of the first weight w1 in the high-saturation interval increases linearly with the value of the saturation S, but is not limited thereto, and the value of the first weight w1 may also be a value with the saturation S The non-linearity increases.

當飽和度S小於第二臨界值N2(例如N2=0.3)時,可稱為低飽和度區間,第一權重w1之值隨飽和度S之值的增加而減少,例如是線性減少,但亦不限於此,第二臨界值N2小於第一臨界值N1。當飽和度S等於飽和度最小值(此例中為0)時,第一權重w1實質上等於權重最大值(此例中為1)。此權重最大值等於第一權重w1與第二權重w2總和的固定值。當飽和度S為0時,第一權重w1=1、第二權重w2=0,相當於沒有進行SD步驟,第一輸出灰階值Z1等於原始的輸入灰階值Xin。 When the saturation S is less than the second critical value N2 (for example, N2 = 0.3), it can be called a low saturation interval. The value of the first weight w1 decreases as the value of the saturation S increases, such as a linear decrease, but also Not limited to this, the second critical value N2 is smaller than the first critical value N1. When the saturation S is equal to the minimum saturation (0 in this example), the first weight w1 is substantially equal to the maximum weight (1 in this example). The maximum value of this weight is equal to the fixed value of the sum of the first weight w1 and the second weight w2. When the saturation S is 0, the first weight w1 = 1 and the second weight w2 = 0 are equivalent to not performing the SD step, and the first output grayscale value Z1 is equal to the original input grayscale value Xin.

在此實施例中,當飽和度S介於第二臨界值S2與第一臨界值S1之間時,稱為中飽和度區間,第一權重w1實質上等於權重最小值,即第一權重w1維持一個定值。在一實施例中,此權重最小值等於0,在其他實施例中,此權重最小值亦可以是其他數值。如第4圖所示的例子,當飽和度S=0.5,第一權重w1=0,第二權重w2=1,代表第一輸出灰階值Z1等於第一對應值D1。在其 他實施例中,於中飽和度區間,第一權重w1亦可以是隨著飽和度S之值而線性變化,此處係以第一權重w1維持固定值舉例說明。 In this embodiment, when the saturation S is between the second critical value S2 and the first critical value S1, it is called a middle saturation interval, and the first weight w1 is substantially equal to the minimum weight, that is, the first weight w1 Maintain a fixed value. In one embodiment, the minimum value of the weight is equal to 0. In other embodiments, the minimum value of the weight may be other values. As shown in the example in FIG. 4, when the saturation S = 0.5, the first weight w1 = 0, and the second weight w2 = 1, it means that the first output grayscale value Z1 is equal to the first corresponding value D1. In its In his embodiment, in the middle saturation interval, the first weight w1 may also change linearly with the value of the saturation S. Here, the first weight w1 is maintained at a fixed value as an example.

如第4圖所繪示的飽和度S與第一權重w1的關係,可以使用下列式子表示:當0SN2 As shown in FIG. 4, the relationship between the saturation S and the first weight w1 can be expressed by the following formula: When 0 S N2

w1=0當N2SN1 w1 = 0 when N2 S N1

當N1S1,其中w M 代表於高飽和度區間,第一權重w1之最大值。 When N1 S 1, where w M represents the maximum value of the first weight w1 in the high saturation interval.

根據飽和度S設定第一權重w1與第二權重w2,可以是依據上述的多個式子計算,或者在另一實施例中,可以將飽和度S與第一權重w1的對應關係儲存於查找表中。例如若第一權重w1與飽和度S的關係並非於每一個飽和度區間皆是線性相關,則可以使用查找表預先儲存對應關係。如第3圖所示的驅動電路220可以包括儲存有第一權重w1與飽和度S對應關係的查找表,或可以依照前述的多個式子依據飽和度S計算第一權重w1。 The first weight w1 and the second weight w2 are set according to the saturation S, which may be calculated according to the foregoing multiple expressions, or in another embodiment, the correspondence between the saturation S and the first weight w1 may be stored in the search. In the table. For example, if the relationship between the first weight w1 and the saturation S is not linearly related in each saturation interval, a lookup table may be used to store the corresponding relationship in advance. The driving circuit 220 shown in FIG. 3 may include a lookup table storing a correspondence between the first weight w1 and the saturation S, or may calculate the first weight w1 based on the saturation S according to the foregoing multiple expressions.

如上所述,在經過第一權重w1與第二權重w2的調整後,在高飽和度區間以及在低飽和度區間,因為第一權重w1>0,A像素第一輸出灰階值Z1與B像素第一輸出灰階值Z1之間的色差減少了(相較於A像素第一對應值D1與B像素第一對應值D1之間的色差);在中飽和度區間,因為第一權重w1=0,A像素第一輸出灰階值Z1與B像素第一輸出灰階值Z1之間的色差維持不變(相較於A像素第一對應值D1與B像素第一對應值D1之間的色差)。當顯 示同一個色塊影像的像素藉由執行SD步驟分別以A像素及B像素驅動時,色塊影像在大視角上的色偏現象可以改善,但色塊影像的網格斑紋現象較為明顯。由於人眼對於高、低飽和度色彩的視角色偏較不敏感,因此藉由降低高、低飽和度區間中A像素與B像素的顯示差異,不僅可以使得在大視角減少色偏現象,亦可以改善色塊影像的網格斑紋問題。 As described above, after the first weight w1 and the second weight w2 are adjusted, in the high-saturation interval and the low-saturation interval, because the first weight w1> 0, the first output grayscale values Z1 and B of the A pixel The color difference between the pixel's first output grayscale value Z1 is reduced (compared to the color difference between the first corresponding value D1 of the A pixel and the first corresponding value D1 of the B pixel); in the middle saturation range, because the first weight w1 = 0, the color difference between the first output grayscale value Z1 of the A pixel and the first output grayscale value Z1 of the B pixel remains unchanged (compared to the first corresponding value D1 of the A pixel and the first corresponding value D1 of the B pixel) Color difference). Dangxian When pixels of the same color block image are driven by A pixel and B pixel respectively by performing the SD step, the color shift phenomenon of the color block image at a large viewing angle can be improved, but the grid speckle phenomenon of the color block image is more obvious. Because the human eye is less sensitive to the viewing roles of high and low saturation colors, by reducing the display difference between A and B pixels in the high and low saturation intervals, not only can the color shift phenomenon be reduced at a large viewing angle, but also Can improve the grid speckle problem of color patch images.

另一方面,當影像畫面中的色彩飽和度具有高頻切換的特性時,且觀賞者於近距離檢視影像畫面時,則可能在視覺上產生不連續感。為了保持在近距離檢視時影像畫面的連續性,解決方法為增加高飽和度色彩執行SD步驟的比例,即是對應於前述內容的在高飽和度區間設定第一權重最大值wM為0.8以下。如此可以使得近距離觀賞時,皆可以一定程度看到SD步驟所產生的網格班紋,而保持畫面的連續性。 On the other hand, when the color saturation in the image frame has the characteristic of high-frequency switching, and when the viewer views the image frame at a close distance, a visual discontinuity may occur. In order to maintain the continuity of the image when viewing at close range, the solution is to increase the proportion of high-saturation color to perform the SD step, that is, set the maximum value of the first weight w M in the high-saturation interval corresponding to the foregoing content is 0.8 or less . In this way, when watching from a close distance, the grid pattern generated by the SD step can be seen to a certain extent, and the continuity of the picture is maintained.

如第4圖所示的第一權重w1與飽和度S的對應關係,其參數設定(例如第一權重w1於高飽和度區間的最大值wM)可依據人類視覺感受而設定,此處可採用色彩對比敏感度(Contrast Sensitivity)進行分析。針對給定的Gamma曲線,於特定的顯示面板尺寸(例如60吋面板),以及特定的觀賞距離(例如距離面板60cm以內),進行不同第一權重最大值wM的模擬與實驗。計算在高飽和度區間,不同第一權重最大值wM所產生顯示畫面對應的對比敏感度。找出可以使得對比敏感度小於一個臨界值的第一權重最大值wM,使得人眼可以看得到網格斑紋,而維持畫面連續。經 模擬與實驗後,可得到第一權重最大值wM小於0.8,例如可以是0.6~0.8的數值。 As shown in Figure 4, the corresponding relationship between the first weight w1 and the saturation S, the parameter settings (such as the maximum value of the first weight w1 in the high saturation interval w M ) can be set according to human visual perception, here can be Contrast Sensitivity was used for analysis. For a given Gamma curve, a specific first display panel size (for example, a 60-inch panel) and a specific viewing distance (for example, within 60 cm from the panel) are simulated and experimented with different maximum weights w M. Calculate the contrast sensitivity corresponding to the display image generated by different first weighted maximum values w M in the high-saturation interval. Find the first weighted maximum value w M that can make the contrast sensitivity less than a critical value, so that the human eye can see the grid pattern while maintaining the continuous picture. After simulation and experiment, it can be obtained that the maximum value of the first weight w M is less than 0.8, for example, it can be a value of 0.6 to 0.8.

而在低飽和度區間,由於大部分低飽和色彩都是位於網格斑紋可見區,因此低飽和色影像比較沒有不連續感,因此如第4圖所示,當飽和度S接近於0時,第一權重w1接近於1,相當於幾乎沒有執行SD步驟,亦能夠維持畫面連續。 In the low-saturation range, because most of the low-saturation colors are located in the visible area of the grid pattern, the low-saturation color image is less discontinuous. Therefore, as shown in Figure 4, when the saturation S is close to 0, The first weight w1 is close to 1, which is equivalent to hardly performing the SD step, and the picture can be maintained continuously.

根據上述方式可以解決顯示畫面大區塊不連續的問題,而對於在小面積處有少數像素變化太快,形成畫面過於銳利的情形,則可以使用空間濾波器。在一實施例中,如第3圖所示的顯示面板300更具有多個第二像素,第二像素係鄰近第一像素,像素驅動方法更可包括:使用空間濾波器依據第二像素所對應之第一權重w1調整第一像素所對應之第一權重w1。所使用的空間濾波器不限定類型,在一實施例中,空間濾波器是平滑濾波器,例如是低通濾波器,用以抑制過於高頻的成份,降低銳利程度,使得各像素對應之第一權重w1變化較為平滑。 According to the above method, the problem of discontinuity in large blocks of the display screen can be solved, and for a situation where a small number of pixels change too quickly in a small area and the screen is too sharp, a spatial filter can be used. In an embodiment, the display panel 300 shown in FIG. 3 further has a plurality of second pixels, and the second pixels are adjacent to the first pixels. The pixel driving method may further include: using a spatial filter to correspond to the second pixels. The first weight w1 adjusts the first weight w1 corresponding to the first pixel. The type of spatial filter used is not limited. In one embodiment, the spatial filter is a smoothing filter, such as a low-pass filter, to suppress excessively high-frequency components and reduce sharpness, so that each pixel corresponds to the first A weight w1 changes smoothly.

第5圖繪示依照本發明第一實施例的空間濾波器示意圖,於此例中使用的空間濾波器為一個3×3的均值濾波器。如第5圖所示,中間為第一像素對應的第一權重w1,例如為1,周圍8個鄰近像素(第二像素)所對應的第一權重w1如第5圖所示的數值,可看出各像素之間的第一權重變化較劇烈。經過3×3的均值濾波器處理之後(例如計算以第一像素為中心的9個像素對應第一權重 w1的平均值),第一像素對應的第一權重w1改變為0.2,減緩了畫面中過於銳利的第一權重變化情形。 FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a spatial filter according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The spatial filter used in this example is a 3 × 3 mean filter. As shown in FIG. 5, the first weight w1 corresponding to the first pixel in the middle is, for example, 1, and the first weight w1 corresponding to the surrounding 8 neighboring pixels (second pixels) is as shown in FIG. 5. It can be seen that the first weight between each pixel changes drastically. After 3 × 3 mean filter processing (e.g. calculating the first weight corresponding to 9 pixels centered on the first pixel w1), the first weight w1 corresponding to the first pixel is changed to 0.2, which slows down the excessively sharp first weight change in the picture.

此範例所使用的空間濾波器僅為示例性說明,於其他實施例中,空間濾波器的大小並不限定於3×3,亦可以是其他尺寸,或者亦可以是根據第一像素上下左右的像素進行空間濾波,形狀並不限定於正方形。此外,空間濾波器亦不限定於是均值濾波器,可以採用其他的平滑運算方式,例如可以是對於與第一像素距離不相同的像素給予不同權重的空間濾波器,或例如可以使用中位數空間濾波器。 The spatial filter used in this example is only an illustrative illustration. In other embodiments, the size of the spatial filter is not limited to 3 × 3, and may be other sizes, or it may be up, down, left, and right according to the first pixel. The pixels are spatially filtered, and the shape is not limited to a square. In addition, the spatial filter is not limited to a mean filter, and other smoothing calculation methods can be used. For example, a spatial filter that gives different weights to pixels that are not at the same distance from the first pixel, or for example, a median space can be used. filter.

如本發明以上實施例所述,可根據影像的色彩飽和度決定使用空間域技術步驟的權重,不僅改善在大視角上的色偏現象,並且改善色塊影像的網格斑紋問題,而藉由設定於高飽和度區間的第一權重最大值,能夠在觀賞者近距離觀賞時保持影像畫面的連續性。此外,應用空間濾波器處理,能夠減緩過於銳利的第一權重變化,亦能夠有效善顯示畫面的連續性。 As described in the above embodiments of the present invention, the weight of the steps of using the spatial domain technology can be determined according to the color saturation of the image, which not only improves the color shift phenomenon at a large viewing angle, but also improves the grid speckle problem of the color block image. The maximum value of the first weight set in the high-saturation section can maintain the continuity of the image frame when the viewer watches from a short distance. In addition, the application of spatial filter processing can slow down the excessively sharp first weight change and effectively display the continuity of the picture.

綜上所述,雖然本發明已以實施例揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本發明。本發明所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者,在不脫離本發明之精神和範圍內,當可作各種之更動與潤飾。因此,本發明之保護範圍當視後附之申請專利範圍所界定者為準。 In summary, although the present invention has been disclosed as above with the embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention.
