Background technology
The main advantage of LCD is to reach easily high display resolution and display slimming, therefore widely be used in the mobile computer, recent lasting exploitation along with large size panel, LCD also becomes the main flow of desktop PC display, and LCD TV also becomes the much-sought-after item in the television product.
Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the parent map of LCD 10.Wherein, liquid crystal panel 12 has a plurality of pixel cells (pixel) 121, by the liquid crystal molecule in each pixel cell 121 is bestowed specific voltage, then can change the anglec of rotation of liquid crystal molecule, thus, the light that the backlight 14 of liquid crystal panel 12 belows is provided has different transmissivities in the different pixel cell 121 of liquid crystal panel 12, the pixel cell 121 of array then and then interweave and form the frame (frame) that is available for users to watch.If trickleer differentiation, then each pixel cell 121 can be divided into three sub-pixels (sub-pixel) 121R, 121G and 121B, to wield redness, green and the blue composition in each pixel cell 121 respectively.
A lcd technology technical bottleneck wherein, it is relevant with the physical characteristics of liquid crystal molecule: because liquid crystal molecule receives after the above-mentioned specific voltage, need one period reaction time, to rotate to another angle (with the corresponding angle of this specific voltage) from an original angle.And when showing dynamic image, the reaction time of liquid crystal molecule is had enough time the renewal rate of frame, causes the delay or the distortion shortcoming of display quality.Therefore, how to shorten the reaction time of liquid crystal molecule, be the important topic in the lcd technology.
" liquid crystal superpotential Driving technique (LCD overdrive) " is for being used for shortening a kind of method in liquid crystal reaction time, its principle makes liquid crystal molecule rotate to required angle in the preset time interval by the voltage of painstakingly bestowing liquid crystal molecule one too high (or low excessively).Below will liquid crystal superpotential Driving technique be described by Fig. 2, the longitudinal axis is represented the angle of liquid crystal molecule rotation among Fig. 2, and transverse axis is a time shaft; As shown in Figure 2, when bestowing liquid crystal cells one control voltage V
CLThe time, liquid crystal molecule needs elapsed time t2 just to be able to by angle θ
0Rotate to and control voltage V
CLCorresponding angle θ

OD(V
ODBe angle θ
2Control voltage), make liquid crystal molecule when time t1, rotate to angle θ ahead of time
1, then can shorten reaction time of liquid crystal thus.
Please refer to Fig. 3, Fig. 3 shows a known liquid crystal drive system (LCD driving system) with superpotential driving (over drive) function.Liquid crystal drive system 20 receives a picture signal (video signal) 21, and picture signal 21 may be from display card or other signal source of VCD player (DVD or VCD), computing machine.Picture signal 21 belongs to a kind of grey scale signal, and more common situation is that a sub-pixel (sub-pixel) can have the ability that shows 256 different gray scales.Each different gray scales utilizes integer (for example 0,1,2,3......254,255) with expression when the computing of data processing.Certainly, on carrying out, represent above-mentioned each integer with binary numeral.
Liquid crystal drive system 20 finally can produce control voltage V
CLWith superpotential V
OD, to drive liquid crystal panel (Fig. 1 label 12).Control voltage V
CLProduce according to a drive signal 21 '; And superpotential V
ODProduce according to a superpotential drive signal 23.Liquid crystal drive system 20 comprises a superpotential driver element 22, and it produces drive signal 21 ' according to view data 21; And, and produce superpotential drive signal 23 according to view data 21 and superpotential drive signal tables of data (for example shown in Figure 4).Be built in the voltage drive signals tables of data in the superpotential driver element 22.Drive signal 21 ' and superpotential drive signal 23 are all the grey scale signal of digital pattern.Liquid crystal drive system 20 also comprises a selector switch 24, receives a logic zero signal or a logical one signal from superpotential driver element 22, to select output drive signal 21 ' or superpotential drive signal 23.Afterwards, after 33 pairs of signal Processing of one or more aft-end assembly, produce control voltage V via driving circuit (driver IC) 35
CLWith superpotential V
ODWherein, aft-end assembly 33 comprises for example Frame-rate Control device or other electronic package.
Drive signal 21 ' directly is equal to the gray scale that picture signal 21 is put down in writing substantially in the gray scale of each time pixel representative of each frame.And superpotential drive signal 23 is in the gray scale of each time pixel representative of each frame, but current frame and former frame need be compared with computing after just computing learn.
The principle of operation brief introduction of superpotential drive signal 23 is as follows:
When image shows, each sub-pixel has " dynamically " and " static state " two kinds of different situation-what is called " dynamically " between frame and frame, refer to that a sub-pixel at former frame (previous frame) and current frame (current frame), shows gray scale inequality; " static state " is meant that then a sub-pixel at former frame and current frame, shows identical gray scale.
Therefore, in liquid crystal drive system 20, need belong to dynamic or static to judge each sub-pixel at frame and interframe according to picture signal 21 with superpotential driving function.When static state, because show same gray scale, therefore can not use superpotential to drive function, therefore, liquid crystal drive system 20 utilizes superpotential driver element 22, directly produces drive signal 21 ' according to picture signal 21.And when dynamic, 22 of superpotential driver elements are according to the grey scale change situation of sub-pixel between frame and frame, and the numerical value of decision superpotential drive signal 23.
For example, the numerical value of superpotential drive signal 23, normally in 256 gray scales that picture signal 21 is had, pick out one and be fit to the person, therefore, the numerical value of each gray scale in the superpotential drive signal 23, on behalf of the numerical value of each gray scale of superpotential drive signal 23, the category that can not break away from the numerical value of the gray scale that picture signal 21 had, meaning promptly-equally under the situation of totally 256 gray scales, also be selected from integer 0,1,2,3......254,255.
As for choosing picture signal 21 which gray scale wherein,, then cooperate following character introduction by Fig. 4 with numerical value as superpotential drive signal 23.
Fig. 4 shows the embodiment of a superpotential drive signal tables of data (overdrive signal look up table).In liquid crystal drive system 20, utilize the numerical value of this superpotential drive signal tables of data with decision superpotential drive signal 23.
As Fig. 4, can show altogether that with a sub-pixel situation of 256 different gray scales is an example, the 0th gray scale is represented white, the 255th gray scale is represented black (certainly also can be anti-).When the inquiry row (Initiallevel) of Fig. 4 are represented former frame (previous frame, for example first frame), the gray scale that a sub-pixel is had; When current frame (current frame, for example second frame) is represented on the inquiry hurdle of Fig. 4 (Final level), the gray scale that this sub-pixel had.Wherein second frame is next to after first frame.
For example, in picture signal 21, if when first frame, one sub-pixel is in the 48th gray scale, and when second frame, this sub-pixel is in the 80th gray scale, at this moment, then can in superpotential drive signal tables of data, table look-up and this moment superpotential drive signal 23 should be the 192nd gray scale.
Please refer to following table, following table is in the process by first frame to the, four frames, the situation of the gray scale that the superpotential drive signal 23 and the drive signal 21 ' of liquid crystal drive system 20 represented respectively:
| |
|
Drive signal 21 ' | |
| First frame | The 48th gray scale | ---- | The 48th gray scale |
| Second frame | The 80th gray scale | The 192nd gray scale | ---- |
| The 3rd frame | The 80th gray scale | ---- | The 80th gray scale |
| The 4th frame | The 224th gray scale | The 255th gray scale | ---- |
In the time of can clearly understanding the renewal of each sub-pixel between frame and frame by last table, not necessarily need to carry out the operation that superpotential drives, for example, when second frame update to the, three frames, because of this sub-pixel maintains the 80th gray scale, promptly static, therefore do not need superpotential drive signal 23 and superpotential V
OD, only need to provide the control voltage that meets the 80th gray scale V
CL, make the liquid crystal molecule of this sub-pixel maintain the identical anglec of rotation, produce identical brightness and get final product.
And when first frame update to the second frame and the 3rd frame update to the four frames, then all having carried out the operation that superpotential drives, this is dynamic situation.For example, during first frame update to the second frame, provide a superpotential V to this sub-pixel
OD(meeting the 192nd gray scale), make liquid crystal molecule can in the required time interval, promptly arrive the required anglec of rotation.
Yet known liquid crystal drive system 20 with superpotential driving function is located in the highest gray scale and minimum gray scale (white frame and black frame), but can't have the superpotential driving capability.
This is because the gray scale numerical value that superpotential drive signal 23 is comprised, be equal to the gray scale numerical value that picture signal 21 is had, therefore, when desire shows the highest gray scale (for example the 255th gray scale), then can't provide a higher grey scale signal to be used as the numerical value of superpotential drive signal 23.In like manner, when desire shows minimum gray scale (for example the 0th gray scale), also can't provide a lower grey scale signal, carry out the operation that superpotential drives.
For example, please cooperate Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, under dynamic situation, picture signal 21 requires a sub-pixel to show the 255th gray scale at current frame, then in liquid crystal drive system 20 the highest numerical value of getable superpotential drive signal 23 also be the 255th gray scale, and fail to be higher than the requirement of picture signal 21.Therefore, the ability that makes liquid crystal molecule quicken to rotate to required angle has then been lost in such superpotential driving.
Therefore how son improves the problem that known technology still has, and more becomes to perfectly having the liquid crystal drive system that superpotential drives function to provide one, is the primary target of the present invention.
