Description

Liquid crystal indicator
The application be that Dec 19, application number in 2003 are 200310123394.1 the applying date, denomination of invention divides an application for the patented claim of " liquid crystal indicator ".
Technical field
The present invention relates to liquid crystal indicator, particularly be applicable to the liquid crystal indicator that moving image shows.
Background technology
Liquid crystal indicator can be used for for example personal computer, word processor, amusement equipment and TV set device etc.And in order to improve the response characteristic of liquid crystal indicator, the moving image that obtains high image quality shows, further studies.
3-No. 174186 communiques of Japanese patent laid-open (have disclosed the liquid crystal control circuit that the pixel that can be fit to giant-screen, high definition shows and the driving method of liquid crystal panel with reference to Fig. 1~Fig. 4).Specifically the content of Jie Shiing is, with the current magnitude of voltage that applies on the liquid crystal and the magnitude of voltage that on next liquid crystal, applies compare, computing, magnitude of voltage is revised the response time when recovering by shortening liquid crystal like this.
About the driving method of the liquid crystal panel that this communique disclosed, describe below with reference to Figure 13.Voltage data before Figure 13 represents to revise becomes the situation of D5 from D1 in the F4 field.
As shown in figure 13, less in the voltage ratio of representing with V1 and V5, just approach common electric voltage and V5-V1 when 0 relation is set up,, therefore to make the transmission quantitative change to setting because the liquid crystal resume speed is slow, then need the long time.For using twisted nematic liquid crystals (TN liquid crystal with reflective-mode; Be Twisted Nematic liquid crystal) liquid crystal panel, the minimum voltage value that does not see through light with liquid crystal layer is that maximum voltage value that 2.0V, liquid crystal layer see through the light of maximum is that the liquid crystal panel of 3.5V is an example.In this liquid crystal panel, if establishing the making alive V1 of institute is 2.0V, the voltage V5 after the variation is 2.5V, and the time that then transmission amount reaches setting is about 70~100msec.Thereby responding the needed time is more than 2 and 2, therefore produces the conditions of streaking of image.
V5 is big more, and this response time is short more, will reach 2 with interior 33msec with the interior degree that can respond.Like this, during less than setting, in applying the field F4 of voltage V5, voltage data is revised, applied the voltage higher than voltage V5 at voltage V5.Specifically, when the data of utilizing liquid crystal control circuit to field F3 and F4 compare,,, the data of field F4 are modified to D7 from D5 so utilize data modifier (with reference to Fig. 2 of this communique) because the voltage variety of this pixel is known.According to aforementioned correction voltage data D7, the source signal line is applied the voltage of V7 among source electrode driver IC (with reference to Fig. 1 of this communique) F4 on the scene.Thereby, can improve the recovery characteristics of liquid crystal, the transmission amount T5 that in 1 shown in the F4, obtains stipulating.
Adopt this liquid crystal panel,, the response time can be improved as 20~30msec by applying for example 3.0~3.5V voltage V7.
In liquid crystal indicator,, require liquid crystal energy high-speed response in order to obtain the unambiguous high image quality of moving image.Adopt the spy to open the method that flat 3-No. 174186 communiques are disclosed, liquid crystal response will be realized high speed.But under the slow condition of liquid crystal response, the problem of existence is, owing to produce difference between the transmissivity of the transmissivity of the liquid crystal panel steady state (SS) corresponding and actual liquid crystal panel with the added magnitude of voltage of liquid crystal, so can not correctly carry out the correction of magnitude of voltage.For example, because liquid crystal response speed descends under the low temperature environment,, probably can not arrive the target gray shade scale even therefore near middle gray.
In addition, from high gray shade scale to the grayscale voltage setting value when shifting near the corresponding low gray shade scale of the magnitude of voltage of the limit, perhaps from low gray shade scale to the grayscale voltage setting value with near the corresponding high gray shade scale transfer of the magnitude of voltage of the limit time etc. under the situation, owing to, therefore probably can not arrive the target gray scale to the voltage saturation that applies of liquid crystal panel.Perhaps, when the precision of magnitude of voltage modification method was hanged down, the practical modified value that requires that probably is not being met did not reach the target gray scale.Like this, if carry out the driving of next under the state of no show target gray scale, then error will accumulate.Consequently, or it is fuzzy to produce the figure that causes because of persistence of vision when moving image shows, perhaps shows bright spot on the profile of moving image.
Summary of the invention
The present invention makes just in view of the above problems, the liquid crystal indicator that its purpose is to provide the moving image of high image quality to show.

The liquid crystal indicator of the invention process form is described with reference to the accompanying drawings.Below be that example illustrates example of the present invention with the NB mode liquid crystal indicator of vertical orientating type, but the present invention does not limit therewith.For example, also the present invention can be used in the NB mode liquid crystal indicator of horizontal alignment type and have the NW mode liquid crystal indicator of vertical alignment-type liquid crystal layer horizontal alignment type liquid crystal layer.In addition, will be equivalent to 1 interlacing type of drive liquid crystal indicator during vertical with 1 is that example illustrates example of the present invention, but the present invention do not limit therewith, also can be used in 1 frame and be equivalent to 1 the liquid crystal indicator of type of drive line by line during vertical.
Example 1
Overregulate driving
In this manual, what is called overregulate drive be meant with the front vertical during (be right after front vertical during) compared and liquid crystal panel driving method to revising with the present corresponding grayscale voltage of received image signal S during vertical with received image signal S during now vertical.The grayscale voltage of this comparison, correction is called the voltage that is overregulated.For example, with now vertical during the corresponding grayscale voltage of received image signal S when being higher than with the corresponding grayscale voltage Vg of the received image signal S during the front is vertical, be than with now vertical during the high voltage of the corresponding grayscale voltage of received image signal S, otherwise, with now vertical during the corresponding grayscale voltage of received image signal S when being lower than with the corresponding grayscale voltage Vg of the received image signal during the front is vertical, be meant than with the present also low voltage of the corresponding grayscale voltage Vg of received image signal S during vertical.
In liquid crystal indicator of the present invention, the received image signal S during the front is vertical suitably processes corresponding to the transmissivity (predicted value) of present liquid crystal panel.
Overregulate and drive specialized voltages and grayscale voltage
In liquid crystal indicator of the present invention, except grayscale voltage Vg (the V0~V63), also can preestablish to overregulate and drives specialized voltages Vos.Overregulate and drive specialized voltages Vos and comprise and compare the Vos (L) that is in low voltage side with grayscale voltage Vg and be on high-tension side Vos (H), also can set a plurality of different magnitudes of voltage respectively.The on high-tension side driving specialized voltages Vos (H) (being its mxm. under a plurality of situations) that overregulates is set at the withstand voltage size that is no more than driving circuit (driver is typically driver IC).In addition, will overregulate and drive specialized voltages Vos and grayscale voltage (V0~V3 adds and is set at the figure place that is no more than driving circuit together.
Specify the setting of overregulating driving specialized voltages Vos and grayscale voltage Vg below with reference to Fig. 1.Figure 1 shows that voltage-transmissivity (curve of V-T) with overregulate the relation that drives specialized voltages Vos and grayscale voltage Vg.In this example, grayscale voltage Vg (V0 (deceiving)~V63) be set in from transmissivity show more than the voltage of minimum show scope below the voltage of mxm. to transmissivity in.The overregulating of low-pressure side drives specialized voltages Vos (H) Vos (L) 1 to Vos (L) 32 of 32 grades of gray scales (for example from) and is set in more than the 0V in the scope less than V0 (minimum of grayscale voltage Vg).On high-tension side overregulating drives specialized voltages Vos (H) Vos (H) 1 to Vos (H) 32 of 32 grades of gray scales (for example from) and is set in the voltage that is higher than V63 (mxm. of grayscale voltage Vg) and is no more than in the scope of circuit withstand voltage).
In addition, the grey of these grayscale voltages Vg and overregulate the grey that drives specialized voltages Vos and can in the scope that is no more than the driving circuit figure place, set arbitrarily.Also grey that overregulating of low-pressure side can be driven specialized voltages Vos (L) and the on high-tension side grey that drives specialized voltages Vos (H) that overregulates are set at inequality.
In this example, (V0 (deceiving)~V63) is set in transmissivity and shows in the above scope to the voltage of transmissivity demonstration mxm. of voltage of minimum with grayscale voltage Vg.But, transmissivity can be shown that also the voltage of minimum is set in overregulating in the scope that drives specialized voltages Vos (L) of low-pressure side.In addition, the voltage that also transmissivity can be shown mxm. is set in the on high-tension side scope of overregulating driving voltage Vos (H).
Corresponding with the variation of the received image signal S in advance decision of added voltage when overregulating driving is used grayscale voltage Vg and is overregulated the arbitrary voltage that drives among the specialized voltages Vos.
For example, when being higher than with the corresponding grayscale voltage Vg of the received image signal S of front surface field with present the corresponding grayscale voltage Vg of received image signal S, will from grayscale voltage Vg and on high-tension side overregulate to drive select the specialized voltages Vos (H), more be on high-tension side voltage than the corresponding grayscale voltage Vg of tablet pattern signal S and input to liquid crystal panel with present field.Overregulating the voltage that uses in the driving is predetermined like this, just make after the voltage that applies present field, in the stipulated time that is predetermined (for example 8msec), the transmissivity of the corresponding steady state (SS) of received image signal S of arrival and present field.Or be predetermined like this, just make its arrival utilize eyes to observe the transmissivity of not feeling to have the such degree of uncomfortable sensation.
Overregulate the voltage that uses in the driving and be combination (still, for the combination that does not have grey scale change, the amount of overregulating the is 0) decision of received image signal S (for example 64 grades of gray scales) and present received image signal S (64 grades of gray scales) with respect to front surface field.According to the response speed of liquid crystal panel, the gray scale combination that does not need to overregulate driving can be arranged.In addition, overregulating the grey that drives specialized voltages Vos also can suitably change.
Overregulate the circuit of driving: comparative example 1
The formation of the driving circuit 100 in the liquid crystal indicator of comparative example 1 is described below with reference to Figure 14.
Driving circuit 100 is accepted received image signal S from the outside, will driving voltage corresponding with it offer display panels (below be also referred to as " liquid crystal panel ") 115.Driving circuit 100 has image storage circuit 111, combine detection circuit 112, overregulates voltage detecting circuit 113 and polarity inversion circuit 114.
Image storage circuit 111 keeps the field picture of at least 1 width of cloth of received image signal S.The received image signal S of the front surface field that keeps in received image signal S and the image storage circuit 111 that combine detection circuit 112 will be now is compared, and the signal of representing this combination is exported to overregulated voltage detecting circuit 113.Overregulate voltage detecting circuit 113 and detect the corresponding driving voltage of combination that detects with combine detection circuit 112 the specialized voltages Vos with overregulating to drive from grayscale voltage Vg.Polarity inversion circuit 114 will be transformed to AC signal with overregulating voltage detecting circuit 113 detected driving voltages, offer liquid crystal panel (display part) 115.
The following describes in the liquid crystal indicator of comparative example 1, drive the action that specialized voltages Vos overregulates driving with overregulating.For example, overregulating voltage detecting circuit 113 can be corresponding with the received image signal S of 64 grades of gray scales (6), (detects the driving voltage that drives usefulness that overregulates of regulation 64 grayscale voltage Vg (V0~V63) and 64 overregulate voltage Vos (high-voltage side: Vos (H) 1~Vos (H) 32 and low voltage side: Vos (L)~Vos (L) 32)) from 7.
Get recovery as an example, establish the tablet pattern signal and after 1, switch to S63 from S40.Received image signal S40 remains in the image storage circuit 111.Combine detection circuit 112 detects (S40, S63).Then, overregulate that 113 pairs of voltage detecting circuits are predetermined so that for example drive specialized voltages Vos (H) 20 with overregulating of the corresponding stable transmissivity of received image signal S63 and detect with interior reaching, and it is offered polarity inversion circuit 114 as driving voltage at 1.This voltage Vos (H) 20 offers liquid crystal panel 115 after becoming AC signal by polarity inversion circuit 114.
Overregulate the circuit of driving: example 1
Usually, the transmissivity of the liquid crystal panel of field is consistent with the transmissivity of the received image signal S defined of the previous field of present received image signal S now.Therefore, in the image storage circuit 111 of comparative example 1, write down the received image signal S of previous field.
But the response time of general liquid crystal panel, great changes have taken place because of environmental baseline and drive condition etc.For example, under low temperature environment, overregulate voltage, can not arrive desirable transmissivity even apply sometimes.At this moment, because the transmissivity of the received image signal S defined of the previous field that keeps in the transmissivity of liquid crystal panel 115 and the image storage circuit 111 is different, so next voltage that overregulates that should apply produces error.
In order to eliminate this error, so long as not the received image signal S of the previous field of simple record received image signal S now, the signal of suitably processing gets final product but the transmissivity of record and present liquid crystal panel adapts.For example, wherein have a kind of method to be, prediction utilizes overregulates the transmissivity that voltage will reach in this, again will with the corresponding signal of this predicted transmittance as the signal of previous field record in addition.
Specify an example of above-mentioned proper circuit combination below with reference to Fig. 2.The structural representation of the driving circuit 10 that Fig. 2 has for the liquid crystal indicator of the invention process form 1.In addition, in Fig. 2, omitted unwanted part in the explanation.
Driving circuit 10 receives received image signal S from the outside, driving voltage corresponding with it offered liquid crystal panel 15.Driving circuit 10 has combine detection circuit 12, overregulates voltage detecting circuit 13, polarity inversion circuit 14, prediction testing circuit 16 and predicted value memory circuit 17.
Combine detection circuit 12 compares the prediction signal of maintenance in the predicted value memory circuit 17 and present received image signal S, and the signal of this combination of expression is exported to predicted value testing circuit 16 and overregulated voltage detecting circuit 13.Prediction testing circuit 16 detects and the corresponding prediction signal of combine detection circuit 12 detected combinations.
Predicted value memory circuit 17 keeps with predicted value testing circuit 16 detected prediction signal (predicted value).The prediction signal (predicted value) that keeps is equivalent to the field picture of at least 1 width of cloth of received image signal.When 1 frame was not divided into a plurality of, predicted value memory circuit 17 was preserved the prediction signal (predicted value) of the two field picture that is equivalent to 1 width of cloth at least.
In addition, overregulate potential circuit 13 from grayscale voltage Vg and overregulate to drive and detect the corresponding driving voltage of combination that detects with combine detection circuit 12 the specialized voltages Vos.Polarity inversion circuit 14 will be transformed to AC signal with the driving voltage that overregulates voltage detecting circuit 13 detections, offer liquid crystal panel (display part) 15.
Below by the signal of continuous 2 explanations with 16 detections of predicted value testing circuit.For example, the received image signal of establishing for certain pixel changes for per 1 order by S0, S128, S128.
At the 1st, when present received image signal is S128, establish predicted value memory circuit 17 for this pixel holding signal S0.At this moment, combine detection circuit 12 detects the combination (S0, S128) of the prediction signal S0 that keeps in present received image signal S128 and the predicted value memory circuit 17.Predicted value testing circuit 16 detects the prediction signal S64 that is predetermined according to utilizing combine detection circuit 12 detected combinations (S0, S128), and predicted value memory circuit 17 is kept it.
On the other hand, overregulate voltage detecting circuit 13, detect the grayscale voltage V160 that is predetermined, grayscale voltage V160 as driving voltage, is offered polarity inversion circuit 14 according to by combine detection circuit 12 detected combinations (S0, S128).In addition, when received image signal S did not change, driving voltage did not overregulate.For example, in case combine detection circuit 12 is detected (S40, S40), then overregulate voltage detecting circuit 13 will with the corresponding grayscale voltage V40 of S40 as driving voltage, export to polarity inversion circuit 14.
Then, at the 2nd, received image signal is S128.Combine detection circuit 12 detects the combination (S64, S128) of the prediction signal S64 that keeps in present received image signal S128 and the predicted value memory circuit 17.Predicted value testing circuit 16 detects the prediction signal S96 that is predetermined according to the combination (S64, S128) that is detected by combine detection circuit 12, and predicted value memory circuit 17 is kept it.In addition, overregulate voltage detecting circuit 13, detect the grayscale voltage V148 that is predetermined, grayscale voltage V148 as driving voltage, is offered polarity inversion circuit 14 according to by combine detection circuit 12 detected combinations (S64, S128).
The prediction signal that detects with predicted value testing circuit 16 preferably is equivalent to apply the signal of the transmissivity behind when overregulating voltage detecting circuit 13 detected grayscale voltages 1.In other words, 1 vertical during before prediction signal preferably with now vertical during the transmissivity of liquid crystal panel corresponding.
Like this, if adopt driving circuit 10 with predicted value testing circuit 16 and predicted value memory circuit 17, then when pressing S0, S128, S128 variation for each field of received image signal of certain pixel, grayscale voltage is V0, V160, V148, can overregulate driving in continuous field.Even response speed is slow, apply and overregulate voltage, at 1 during with interior miss the mark transmissivity, continuous like this to overregulate driving also be effective.
Fig. 3 is the diagrammatic cross-section (when voltage applies) of the liquid crystal indicator of this example.The liquid crystal indicator 30 of this example is the NB mode liquid crystal indicator with vertical alignment-type liquid crystal layer, has driving circuit shown in Figure 2 10 and liquid crystal panel 15.
Liquid crystal panel 15 has TFT (Thin Film Transistor; Thin film transistor (TFT)) substrate 21 and colour filtering chip basic board (below be called " CF substrate ") 22.These substrates all utilize well-known method to make.Liquid crystal indicator 30 of the present invention is not limited to TFT type liquid crystal indicator, but in order to realize high response speed, preferably active array type LCD such as TFT type or MIM (Metal Insulator Metal, metal-insulator-metal) type.
In TFT substrate 21, on glass substrate 31, form the pixel electrode 32 that constitutes by ITO (Indium Tin Oxide indium tin oxide), form alignment films 33 on its surface of liquid crystal layer 27 1 sides.At CF substrate 22, on glass substrate 35, form the counter electrode (common electrode) 36 that constitutes by ITO, form alignment films 37 on its surface of liquid crystal layer 27 1 sides.
(not shown) in addition, electrode slit or concaveconvex shape that direction of orientation that (not shown) be used to limit liquid crystal molecule 27a and 27b is used also are set, liquid crystal molecule 27a in the time of utilizing the influence of electric field or pre-tilt angle to control to apply voltage with this and the vergence direction of 27b.Fig. 3 be at this moment liquid crystal molecule 27a and the orientation synoptic diagram of 27b.Liquid crystal molecule 27a shown in Figure 3 and 27b swing to different direction (be typically and differ 180 °) applying voltage.Like this,, then can make the display characteristic equalization, therefore can make viewing angle characteristic even with littler unit if in 1 pixel region, form a plurality of liquid crystal molecule 27a, zone that the 27b direction of orientation is different.
Alignment films the 33, the 37th has the vertical alignment layer that makes the vertical orientated character of liquid crystal molecule 27a and 27b, forms with for example a kind of organic high molecular layer polyimide film.The surface of alignment films 33,37 rubs to 1 direction respectively.TFT substrate 21 and CF substrate 22 are pasted mutually, made its frictional direction antiparallel each other, inject dielectric constant anisotropy △ ε then, obtain vertical alignment-type liquid crystal layer 27 for negative nematic liquid crystalline material.Liquid crystal layer 27 utilizes encapsulant 38 to seal.
Sticky position differs compensating element, 23 and 24 respectively in the outside of TFT substrate 21 and CF substrate 22, and makes frictional direction vertical with the phase lag axle of phasic difference compensating element, 23,24.A pair of polaroid (for example Polarizer or light polarizing film) 25,26 disposes to such an extent that make its absorption axes orthogonal, and intersects the angle of 45 degree respectively with aforementioned frictional direction.
The concrete formation of driving circuit 10 is described below with reference to Fig. 2.If received image signal S is a signal in proper order 6 (64 grades of gray scales), a 60Hz.Combine detection circuit 12 is represented in present received image signal S and the predicted value memory circuit 17 signal (below be also referred to as composite signal) of the combination of the prediction signal that keeps to each pixel detection.Detected composite signal is exported to and is overregulated voltage detecting circuit 13 and predicted value testing circuit 16.
(low-pressure side is overregulated the driving specialized voltages: from 32 grades of gray scales between the 0V to 2V from 7 to overregulate voltage detecting circuit 13, grayscale voltage: from 64 grades of gray scales between the 2.1V to 5V, the driving specialized voltages is overregulated in the high-pressure side: from 32 grades of gray scales between the 5.1V to 7V) signal, detect and utilize the corresponding driving voltage that is predetermined of combine detection circuit 12 detected composite signals.Here detected driving voltage (signal) is 60Hz, be transformed to AC signal with polarity inversion circuit 14 after, supply with liquid crystal panel 15.
On the other hand, predicted value testing circuit 16 detects and utilizes the predicted value of the corresponding transmissivity that is predetermined of composite signal of combine detection circuit 12 detections.Here, remain on detected prediction signal (predicted value) in the predicted value memory circuit 17 after, export to combine detection circuit 12, compare (combination) with next received image signal.
In Fig. 4, represent the response characteristic (transmissivity I (t)) of the liquid crystal indicator 30 of this example with solid line.In Fig. 4, dot the response characteristic (transmissivity I (t)) of comparative example 1 simultaneously.In comparative example 1, be with the front vertical during the received image signal of (be right after front vertical during) compare with present received image signal S during vertical, overregulate driving, and the received image signal of front during vertical do not processed corresponding to the transmissivity of present liquid crystal panel.
In this example, sharply change second middle signal level, in second and third, apply the voltage that overregulates.By means of this, optical response I (t) is improved with respect to comparative example 1 shown in solid line.

Driving circuit 10a accepts received image signal S from the outside, will drive voltage supply liquid crystal panel 15 corresponding with it.Driving circuit 10a has combine detection circuit 12, overregulates voltage detecting circuit 13, polarity inversion circuit 14, predicted value testing circuit 16, predicted value memory circuit 17, overregulate (below be also referred to as " OS ") parameter list 18 and caluclate table 19.And, OS parameter list 18 and caluclate table 19 be store in the memory circuit, the set of the information relevant with gray shade scale.
Combine detection circuit 12 compares the prediction signal of maintenance in the predicted value memory circuit 17 and present received image signal S, and the signal (composite signal) of this combination of expression is exported to predicted value testing circuit 16.In addition, combine detection circuit 12 detects and the corresponding gray shade scale of aforementioned combination with reference to OS parameter list 18, exports to and overregulates voltage detecting circuit 13.Overregulate predicted value testing circuit 16 with reference to caluclate table 19, the corresponding predicted value of composite signal (gray shade scale) that detects and utilize combine detection circuit 12 to detect.Below the gray shade scale of setting in the OS parameter list 18 is also referred to as " OS parameter ".
The signal that predicted value memory circuit 17 will utilize predicted value testing circuit 16 to detect is kept.The signal that keeps is equivalent to the field picture of at least one width of cloth of received image signal S.When a frame was not divided into a plurality of, predicted value memory circuit 17 was preserved the signal of the two field picture that is equivalent at least one width of cloth.
On the other hand, overregulate voltage detecting circuit 13 from grayscale voltage Vg and overregulate and drive the corresponding driving voltage of OS parameter that detects the specialized voltages Vos with 12 outputs of combine detection circuit.The driving voltage that polarity inversion circuit 14 overregulates voltage detecting circuit 13 detections with utilization is transformed to AC signal, supplies with liquid crystal panel (display part) 15.
In OS parameter list 18, for each gray scale transfer mode that will be made up with the corresponding respectively gray shade scale of each signal of two signals, setting will make the optic response of liquid crystal panel 15 finish target gray shade scale as target in one.In addition, in OS parameter list 18, set the limit gray shade scale that miss the mark gray shade scale and liquid crystal panel 15 can show.Limit gray shade scale, in other words, in NB mode liquid crystal indicator, be in the setting value with grayscale voltage near the corresponding high gray shade scale of peaked magnitude of voltage, or with the setting value of grayscale voltage near the corresponding low gray shade scale of the magnitude of voltage of minimum value.In addition, limit gray shade scale is in NW mode liquid crystal indicator, be in the setting value with grayscale voltage near the corresponding low gray shade scale of peaked magnitude of voltage, or with the setting value of grayscale voltage near the corresponding high gray shade scale of the magnitude of voltage of minimum value.
Figure 6 shows that the OS parameter list 18 of this example.In the OS of this example parameter list 18,, write down and overregulated corresponding target gray shade scale of voltage and limit gray shade scale representational gray scale transfer mode every 32 grades of gray scales.For other gray scale transfer mode, can obtain by calculating according to the gray shade scale of record in the table 18.
Specify target gray shade scale and limit gray shade scale below with reference to Fig. 6.The target grey level is that the optic response that makes liquid crystal panel 15 in 1 is finished gray shade scale as target, according to predicted value memory circuit 17 in the corresponding gray shade scale of prediction signal that keeps and set with the combination of present the corresponding gray shade scale of received image signal.Promptly come the target setting gray shade scale according to the gray scale transfer mode.For example, according to signal S96 that keeps in the predicted value memory circuit 17 and the combination (S96, S128) of the received image signal S128 of field now, come target setting gray shade scale S147.
But, under the situation about having,, have to set the gray shade scale that does not reach the target gray shade scale according to the combination (gray scale transfer mode) of prediction signal and received image signal.For example, from the grade of low gray scale to the setting value of grayscale voltage under corresponding high gray shade scale shifts near peaked magnitude of voltage the situation (for example, from S0 under the situation that S255 shifts), or from high grey level to the setting value of grayscale voltage (for example shift near the corresponding low gray shade scale of the magnitude of voltage of minimum value, shift to S0 from S255) situation under, have to set the gray shade scale that does not reach the target gray shade scale sometimes.Its reason is, owing in the liquid crystal panel 15 of 256 grades of gray scales, can only set the some gray shade scales from 0 grade of gray scale (deceiving) to 255 grades of gray scales (in vain) that liquid crystal panel 15 can show sometimes.For example, from S0 when S255 shifts, the situation of gray shade scale S255 that can only capping is also arranged, same, from S255 when S0 shifts, the situation of the gray shade scale S0 that can only set lower limit is also arranged.Even owing to will be added on the liquid crystal panel 15 with these gray shade scales SO and the corresponding grayscale voltage of S255, it is also saturated to apply voltage, so no show is as the gray shade scale of target.In other words, utilize the gray scale transfer mode sometimes, fail to arrive the target gray shade scale, and have to set the limit gray shade scale that liquid crystal panel 15 can show.
Like this, the OS parameter of storage is the target gray shade scale that determines in order to reach the target gray scale after 1 in the OS parameter list 18, or the limit gray shade scale of no show goal gradient.But when adopting the gray scale transfer mode, liquid crystal response lags behind, and therefore promptly uses the target gray shade scale of setting, and the situation of miss the mark gray shade scale after is also arranged.In this example, obtain the predicted value of present the actual gray shade scale that arrives according to caluclate table 19, obtain in the predicted value of an actual gray shade scale that arrives now according to this predicted value, revise the received image signal of next according to this predicted value.
In caluclate table 19, to each gray scale transfer mode, when setting was overregulated voltage detecting circuit 13 and applied target voltage level or limiting voltage level by 14 pairs of liquid crystal panels 15 of polarity inversion circuit, display panels is the actual arrival gray shade scale that arrives after one.In addition, so-called target voltage level is and the corresponding magnitude of voltage of target gray shade scale that so-called limiting voltage level is and limit grey level corresponding voltage value.Target voltage level and limiting voltage level apply selectively according to the gray scale transfer mode.
Figure 7 shows that the caluclate table 19 of this example.In the caluclate table 19 of this example,, write down to utilize and overregulated the gray shade scale that voltage arrives in this for the representational gray scale transfer mode of per 32 grades of gray scales.For example, with reference to OS parameter list 18 shown in Figure 6, when the target voltage level that applies with the corresponding target gray shade scale S147 of combination (S96, S128) of prediction signal S96 and received image signal S128, the actual arrival gray shade scale that arrives is S125 after one.In caluclate table shown in Figure 7 19, corresponding with combination (S96, S128), write down arrival gray shade scale S125.The gray shade scale of record is obtained by measuring in advance in the table 19, for other gray scale transfer mode, can obtain by calculating according to the gray shade scale of record in the table 19.
Below by continuous 2 actions that the driving circuit 10a of these examples is described.If received image signal is 8.For example, each order by S255, S64, S128 of received image signal S of establishing for certain pixel changes.
At first, when present received image signal is S64, establish 17 pairs of these pixel holding signals of predicted value memory circuit S255.At this moment, combine detection circuit 12 detects the combination (S255, S64) of the signal S255 that keeps in present received image signal S64 and the predicted value memory circuit 17.Also have, detect with this from OS parameter list 18 and make up corresponding OS parameter S 0, export to and overregulate voltage detecting circuit 13.That is to say that combine detection circuit 12 is set the corresponding OS parameter S 0 of combination (S255, S64) with received image signal S64 and prediction signal S255 according to OS parameter list 18.In other words, combine detection circuit 12 is according to the gray scale transfer mode setting device of target setting gray shade scale and limit gray shade scale selectively.
Overregulate voltage detecting circuit 13 and detect and OS parameter S 0 corresponding grayscale voltage V0, grayscale voltage V0 as driving voltage, is offered polarity inversion circuit 14.Polarity inversion circuit 14 overregulates voltage detecting circuit 13 detected driving voltages (grayscale voltage V0) with utilization and is transformed to AC signal, supplies with liquid crystal panel 15.In other words, overregulate voltage detecting circuit 13 and polarity inversion circuit 14 be selectively to liquid crystal layer apply and utilize the corresponding target voltage level of target gray shade scale that setting means (combine detection circuit 12) set and with the voltage bringing device of the corresponding limiting voltage level of limit gray shade scale that utilizes setting means (combine detection circuit 12) to set.
On the other hand, predicted value testing circuit 16 detects prediction signal S134 according to utilizing combine detection circuit 12 detected combinations (S255, S64) from caluclate table 19, and predicted value memory circuit 17 is kept it.
Then, at second, received image signal is S128.Combine detection circuit 12 detects the combination (S134, S128) of the prediction signal S134 that keeps in present received image signal S128 and the predicted value memory circuit 17, detect with this by calculating from OS parameter list 18 and to make up corresponding OS parameter S 120, export to and overregulate voltage detecting circuit 13.Overregulate voltage detecting circuit 13 and detect and OS parameter S 120 corresponding grayscale voltage V120, grayscale voltage V120 as driving voltage, is supplied with limit circuit for reversing 14.
In addition, (S134 S128), detects prediction signal S128 from caluclate table 19 by calculating to predicted value testing circuit 16, and predicted value memory circuit 17 is kept it according to utilizing the 12 detected combinations of combine detection circuit.
The detection action that utilizes combine detection circuit 12 to carry out more specifically is described below.In this embodiment, carrying out gray scale from the gray scale (S255) of n-1 received image signal to the gray scale (S64) of n received image signal shifts.In other words, the gray scale of n-1 received image signal and n received image signal is inequality.In this case, with the corresponding OS parameter S 0 of combination (S255, S64) of n-1 received image signal and n received image signal and inequality with the gray shade scale of combination (S255, S64) corresponding prediction signal S134.In other words, in order to utilize n received image signal that gray shade scale is shifted to S64 from S255, n received image signal S64 revised, even the corresponding voltage of n received image signal (OS parameter) S0 that applies and revise, the actual arrival gray shade scale that arrives also is S134 after one.
Establishing under the situation of target gray shade scale for S128 of utilizing n+1 received image signal, preferably the arrival gray shade scale S134 that arrives according to reality revises n+1 received image signal S128.Therefore, combine detection circuit 12 detects and makes up (S134, S128) corresponding OS parameter S 120 from OS parameter list 18 by calculating, exports to and overregulates voltage detecting circuit 13.
According to above explanation, combine detection circuit 12 can be described as such correcting device, promptly shift to the gray scale of the gray scale (S64) of n received image signal for gray scale (255) from n-1 received image signal, at n-1 received image signal during with n the different gray shade scale of received image signal, the arrival gray shade scale (S134) that obtains according to reference caluclate table 19, the correcting device that the target gray shade scale of n+1 received image signal (S128) is revised.Judge whether n-1 received image signal is different gray shade scales with n received image signal, for example can utilizing, combine detection circuit 12 carries out.In addition, also OS parameter and prediction signal (arrival gray shade scale) can be compared, replacing the comparison of n-1 received image signal and n received image signal, or therewith be carried out; Perhaps also n received image signal and prediction signal (arrival gray shade scale) can be compared.
On the other hand, when the gray shade scale of n-1 received image signal and n received image signal is identical, because gray shade scale does not change, therefore n-1 received image signal (gray shade scale), a n received image signal (gray shade scale), OS parameter are identical numerical value with prediction signal (arrival gray shade scale).For example, be S128 and n received image signal when being S128 at n-1 received image signal, from OS parameter list 18 shown in Figure 6 as can be known, the OS parameter is S128, from caluclate table shown in Figure 7 19 as can be known, prediction signal (arrival gray shade scale) is S128.Like this, when the gray shade scale of n-1 received image signal and n received image signal is identical, in other words, in OS parameter and prediction signal (arrival gray shade scale) when being identical value, also can the target gray shade scale of n+1 received image signal be revised according to the OS parameter.
As mentioned above, from high gray scale when low gray scale shifts (for example shifting to S0) from S255, or from low gray scale when high gray scale shifts (for example shifting to S255) from S0, overregulate voltage even apply, also, therefore fail to arrive the target gray shade scale sometimes owing to the voltage saturation that applies to liquid crystal panel 15.In addition, because liquid crystal response speed reduces under low temperature environment,, also probably can not arrive gray shade scale as target even therefore near middle gray.Adopt this example,, therefore will slowly eliminate with the error of the actual gray shade scale that arrives as the gray shade scale of target owing to, the received image signal of next is revised according to the predicted value of the actual gray shade scale that arrives in now.
In addition, in this example, combine detection circuit 12 is set the OS parameter with reference to OS parameter list 18, but also can not have the OS parameter list, only sets the OS parameter by calculating.
In addition, in this example, be representational gray scale transfer mode record gray shade scale in the OS parameter list 18, but also can use OS parameter list for the gray scale transfer mode record gray shade scale of each grade gray scale to per 32 grades of gray scales.For example, if the liquid crystal panel of 256 grades of gray scales also can adopt the OS parameter list of 256 * 256 matrixes.By adopting detailed like this OS parameter list, the advantage that has is not need to set the OS parameter by calculating, simultaneously the precision height.But its shortcoming is in order to generate the OS parameter list, to spend time and time.About this shortcoming, will in following example 3, be described in detail.
Comparative example 2
The structural representation of the driving circuit 100a that Figure 15 has for the liquid crystal indicator of comparative example 2.In addition, will have with the inscape of comparative example 1 in fact the inscape of identical function represent with identical reference symbol, and omit its explanation.In addition, the OS parameter list of reference is shown in Figure 69 * 9 rectangular table in this comparative example.Respectively " prediction signal " among Fig. 6 being reached " received image signal " renames as " received image signal of front surface field " respectively and reaches " now received image signal ".
Driving circuit 100a is identical with example 2, has OS parameter list 118.In this comparative example, with the front vertical during the received image signal S of (be right after front vertical during) compare with present received image signal S during vertical, with reference to OS parameter list 118, overregulate driving.Thereby in this comparative example, the received image signal S during the front is vertical does not have to process corresponding to the transmissivity of the liquid crystal panel 115 of present field.
Identical with example 2, each order by S255, S64, S128 of received image signal of establishing for certain pixel changes.At first, when present received image signal is S64, establish the signal S255 that 111 pairs of these pixels of image storage circuit keep previous field.Combine detection circuit 112 detects the combination (S255, S64) of the received image signal of present field and front surface field, again according to this combination, detects OS parameter S 0 from OS parameter list 118, exports to and overregulates voltage detecting circuit 113.Overregulate voltage detecting circuit 113 and detect the grayscale voltage V0 corresponding with OS parameter S 0.
At second, received image signal is S128.The combination (S64, S128) of the received image signal S64 of the front surface field that keeps in received image signal S128 that 112 detections of combine detection circuit are present and the image storage circuit 111.Then,, detect with this and make up corresponding OS parameter S 176, export to and overregulate voltage detecting circuit 113 from OS parameter list 118.Overregulate voltage detecting circuit 113 and detect and OS parameter S 176 corresponding grayscale voltage V176, grayscale voltage V176 is offered polarity inversion circuit 114 as driving voltage.
Even received image signal S changes equally, in example 2 and comparative example 2, the OS parameter of utilizing the combine detection electric circuit inspection to go out is also different.Specifically, in example 2, the OS parameter becomes S120 from S0 in 2, and different therewith is to be to become S176 from S0 in comparative example 2.In comparative example 2, owing to second OS parameter increases significantly than example 2, so the transmissivity of the liquid crystal layer of this pixel improves.So the shown image of the liquid crystal indicator of comparative example 2 is brighter than original image in this pixel portion, looked inharmonic sensation.
Example 3
Therefore the liquid crystal indicator of this example omits about the formation of driving circuit and the explanation of action owing to have the formation identical with the driving circuit 10a of example 2.But the OS parameter list 18 and the caluclate table 19 of the driving circuit of this example are different with example 2.
For correct decision OS parameter, must be to each gray scale transfer mode actual measurement gray shade scale.For example, for each gray scale transfer mode,, must change the measurement of voltage repeatedly in order to determine in one, to arrive the grayscale voltage of target gray shade scale.This measurement is made needs time and time, becomes the main cause that manufacturing cost is risen.
In this example,, adopt smaller OS parameter list 18a in order to save this time and time, in other words, be to adopt the OS parameter list 18a that simplifies, for unwritten gray scale transfer mode among the table 18a, then the gray shade scale that writes down from table 18a is obtained by calculating.
Figure 8 shows that the example of the OS parameter list 18a of simplification.As with table 18a shown in Figure 8 method, can enumerate following computing method for the calculating gray shade scale of unwritten gray scale transfer mode among the table 18a.
For (prediction signal, received image signal)=(a0, b0), establish a=(with 128 remainders), b=(with 128 remainders) except that b0 except that a0.For example, if establish a0<128, and also b0<128, then a=a0, and b=b0.When a≤b, utilize OS parameter=A+[(B-A) * b+ (E-B) * a]/128 obtain, at a during b, utilize OS parameter=A+[(D-A) * a+ (E-D) * b]/128 obtain.
Figure 9 shows that the object lesson of the OS parameter list 18a of simplification.Illustrate that below with reference to Fig. 9 OS parameter list 18a is the situation of 3 * 3 rectangular table.In this table 18a,, write down and overregulated the corresponding gray shade scale of voltage for the representational gray scale transfer mode of per 128 grades of gray scales.If show 18a, will obtain in the above-mentioned formula of gray shade scale substitution under the situation of the gray scale transfer mode of (prediction signal, received image signal)=(64,96), then OS parameter=0+[(168-0 with this) * 96+ (128-168) * 64]/128=106.
But, because there is very cataclysm the response time of general liquid crystal panel because of the gray scale transfer mode, can not describe, therefore by the OS parameter that calculates and by there are differences between the OS parameter that measures with linear function.
Figure 10 is with the OS parameter list 18a calculating shown in Figure 9 and the OS parameter list 18b of the corresponding gray shade scale of gray scale transfer mode of per 32 grades of gray scales.In other words, the table 18b of Figure 10 expands into 9 * 9 rectangular table from 3 * 3 rectangular table 18a.Figure 11 is 9 * 9 the rectangular OS parameter list 18 that obtains by the measurement under the same terms.
If relatively the table 18b of Figure 10 and the table 18 of Figure 11 then there are differences because of the corresponding gray shade scale of the difference of gray scale transfer mode as can be known.In order to consider that this difference determines the suitable OS parameter of next, in this example, if correct prediction is the show state of the liquid crystal panel of field now, make the gray scale transfer mode number of setting in the caluclate table more than the gray scale transfer mode number of setting in the OS parameter list.
Usually the OS parameter of storing in the OS parameter list is to determine to such an extent that make after one and can arrive the target gray shade scale, but because of the difference of gray scale transfer mode, produces picture noise sometimes.In such cases, in order not produce picture noise, also set gentle OS parameter sometimes.In this example,, set the gray shade scale of comparing suitable mitigation with arrival target gray shade scale after 1 according to the gray scale transfer mode.In other words, in the OS of this example parameter, for will with each of the gray scale transfer mode of the respectively corresponding gray shade scale combination of each signal of two signals, setting will make the optic response of liquid crystal panel 15 finish as the target gray shade scale of target or the mitigation gray shade scale that will relax than target gray shade scale in one.Consequently, compare with the situation of not overregulating driving, the response of liquid crystal is accelerated, but is also contained in the gray scale transfer mode of no show target gray shade scale after.In addition, in the OS of this example parameter, also set the limit gray shade scale described in the example 2.
Figure 12 shows that the example of the caluclate table 19 of this example.The caluclate table 19 of this example be 9 * 9 rectangular, for each gray scale transfer mode, measure in advance, write down to utilize and overregulate voltage actual gray shade scale that arrives after this.
Below by continuous 2 actions that the driving circuit of these examples is described.For example, each order by S128, S0, S128 of received image signal S of establishing for certain pixel changes.In addition, following reference symbol is represented inscape shown in Figure 5.
In first, when present received image signal is S0, establish 17 pairs of these pixel holding signals of predicted value memory circuit S128.At this moment, combine detection circuit 12 detects the combination (S128, S0) of the signal S128 that keeps in present received image signal S0 and the predicted value memory circuit 17.Also detect the OS parameter S 0 corresponding, export to and overregulate voltage detecting circuit 13 with this combination according to OS parameter list 18b.Overregulate voltage detecting circuit 13 and detect and OS parameter S 0 corresponding grayscale voltage V0, grayscale voltage V0 as driving voltage, is offered polarity inversion circuit 14.
On the other hand, predicted value testing circuit 16 with utilize combine detection circuit 12 detected combinations (S128, S0) corresponding, detect prediction signal S28 according to caluclate table 19, predicted value memory circuit 17 is kept it.
Then, at second, received image signal is S128.Combine detection circuit 12 detects the combination (S28, S128) of the prediction signal S28 that keeps in present received image signal S128 and the predicted value memory circuit 17.Again, combine detection circuit 12 detects with this by calculating from OS parameter list 18b and makes up corresponding OS parameter S 159, exports to and overregulates voltage detecting circuit 13.Overregulate voltage detecting circuit 13 and detect and OS parameter S 159 corresponding grayscale voltage V159, grayscale voltage V159 as driving voltage, is offered polarity inversion circuit 14.
On the other hand, predicted value testing circuit 16 detects prediction signal S128 corresponding to utilizing combine detection circuit 12 detected combinations (S28, S128) according to caluclate table 19, and predicted value memory circuit 17 is kept it.
Like this, adopt the driving circuit of this example, when pressing S128, S0, S128 variation for each field of received image signal of certain pixel, grayscale voltage becomes V128, V0, V159.
The relation that the variation of the received image signal described in this example and grayscale voltage change is an example only, can carry out not changing on an equal basis of computing method that interpolation uses because of the precision of characteristic, drive condition even the OS parameter of liquid crystal panel and his-and-hers watches.
In addition, in this example, the OS parameter list is 3 * 3 rectangular table, and caluclate table is 9 * 9 rectangular table, but this is nothing but an example, and the gray scale transfer mode number of these tables is not limited thereto.The gray scale transfer mode number of caluclate table so long as the degree that can compensate because of simplifying the error that the OS parameter list produces get final product.For example, the gray scale transfer mode number of setting in the caluclate table is set at more than the gray scale transfer mode number of setting in the OS parameter list.
Preferably OS parameter list 18 is simplified more, and caluclate table 19 is set in detail.Thereby, by simplifying OS parameter list 18, can make and measure the experiment number that the OS parameter uses and reduce, increase but measure the experiment number that predicted value uses sometimes.But, because the experiment that measurement OS parameter is used is compared with the experiment that the measurement predicted value is used, and needs more spended time and time, therefore, even even how many experiment number that the measurement predicted value is used increases, the advantage that the experiment number that still has measurement OS parameter to use reduces.Specify its reason below.
For example, for determine with present received image signal S128 and predicted value memory circuit 17 in the corresponding OS parameter S 168 of combination (S0, S128) of the signal S0 that keeps, must at first apply V0, apply V168 (V0 → V168), confirm in, to become corresponding transmissivity with S128 in next field.But, because next voltage is that the such fact of V168 is not distinguished in advance, therefore for example as (V0 → V167) or (V0 → V166), change voltage repeatedly and measure confirms that each time the operation of transmissivity is necessary.
On the other hand, when in the same grayscale transfer mode, carrying out the parametric measurement of caluclate table, because the OS parameter determines, therefore only by (one-shot measurement of V0 → V168) just can be finished.In addition, in order to measure the OS parameter, changing voltage repeatedly measures, accumulate the data that can be used as predicted value with this, even when therefore measuring predicted value, also not necessarily must measure for whole gray scale transfer modes for the gray scale transfer mode beyond the gray scale transfer mode of setting in the OS parameter list 18.For example, even be that 3 * 3 rectangular table, caluclate table 19 are under the situation of 9 * 9 rectangular table,, also not necessarily must carry out 9 * 9-3 * 3 72 times experiment in order to measure predicted value at OS parameter list 18.Thereby, be expected to reduce the experiment number that the measurement predicted value is used.
Comparative example 3
The liquid crystal indicator of this comparative example has the formation (with reference to Figure 15) identical with comparative example 2.In addition, the OS parameter list 118 of reference in this comparative example is shown in Figure 93 * 3 rectangular table, respectively " prediction signal " among Fig. 9 is reached " received image signal " and renames as " received image signal of front surface field " and reach " received image signal now ".
Received image signal S for certain pixel is identical with example 3, establishes each order by S128, S0, S128 and changes.The OS parameter is with respect to the S0 that is combined as of (S128, S0), in next, with respect to the S168 that is combined as of (S0, S128).Thereby when pressing S128, S0, S128 variation for each field of received image signal of certain pixel, grayscale voltage is V128, V0, V168.
The image that shows on the liquid crystal indicator of comparative example 3 is brighter than original image in this pixel portion, has looked inharmonic sensation.
Utilize the present invention, the liquid crystal indicator that can more suitable judgement overregulates voltage can be provided.Liquid crystal indicator of the present invention, can alleviate the deficiency of liquid crystal response and excessive, therefore can prevent that bright spot from appearring in the image blurring and moving image profile that produces because of persistence of vision in moving image shows, the moving image that can carry out high image quality shows.
