Embodiment
In general, reflect the picture signal and can be divided into a lightness composition (luminance component) and a colourity composition (chrominance component), this reflects the picture signal and is convertible into two pixel data sequences (pixeldata sequence), is respectively lightness composition pixel data sequence and colourity composition pixel data sequence.Be different from the prior art is that pixel with non-active area is set at constant color and brightness, display system of the present invention is according to the pixel data sequence of active area, to produce additional pixel data, utilize this additional pixel data to adjust the lightness and the colourity of the pixel of non-active area, make the lightness of each pixel of non-active area 10 and 11 can prevent phosphor or other pixel material aging inequality of active area and non-active area by this near the lightness mean value of the selected pixel of active area.
One embodiment of the invention are the pixel data that utilizes in the active area, calculate extra pixel data and set pixel lightness/chromatic value in the non-active area, make it near selected pixel lightness/colourity mean value in the active area.As shown in Figure 7, non-active area 10 and 11 pixel system periodically adjusts its lightness and colourity with average lightness and average chrominance near selected pixel in the active area 12.In addition, according to an alternate embodiment of the present invention, second pixel data (active area calculates extra pixel data) also can only be set the lightness of non-active area 10 and 11, chrominance section then is set at a constant, irrelevant with the pixel colourity of active area, perhaps only set colourity, lightness then is set at a constant, and is irrelevant with the pixel lightness of active area.See also Fig. 8, it illustrates the pixel lightness L on the same horizontal row of display frame of Fig. 7, and pixel lightness L is the function of picture X-axis.Non-active area 10 and 11 (0 and XL between and between XR and the XMAX) the pixel lightness be the average lightness LM of the selected pixel of active area 12.The pixel lightness system of active area 12 (between XL and the XR) is controlled by reflecting the picture signal.Similarly, non-active area 10 and 11 pixel colourity are all consistent at any time, and all are set at the average chrominance of the selected pixel of active area.In an embodiment of the present invention, the average lightness of active area 12 and average chrominance system is according in the active area 12 near N frame page or leaf of this picture, the lightness of representative pixels sampled or colourity average (mean) calculate, and N equals 1 or greater than 1.Representative pixels sampled is made up of i pixel of the row of the j in the active area, and i and j are the integer greater than 0.In another embodiment of the present invention, can other method select in order to the pixel of calculating average lightness or average chrominance in the active area 12.For example select the pixel of all active area 12, or only select in the active area pixel near non-active area 10 and 11.In addition, the lightness that can selected pixel or the mediant (median) of colourity or mode (mode) are as the average lightness or the average chrominance of selected pixel.
In another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 9, the sharp keen phenomenon (sharpness) on the active area of picture and the border of non-active area can reduce by the lightness that changes the pixel in non-active area 10 and 11 gradually, as shown in figure 10.Among Figure 10, in zone 10 and 11 (between X1 and the XL and between XR and the X2), set near the pixel lightness system of the position XL of active area 12 and XR similar to the lightness LK of active area border 13 and 14, and away from active area (0 to X1 between and between X2 and the XMAX) the lightness of pixel be set similar to the average lightness of all pixels of regional 12.Between X1 and the XL and between XR and the X2, the pixel lightness is linear the change along with the variable in distance of LM and LK.Lightness by non-active area 10 and 11 changes gradually, can reduce that brightness changes loftyly between the active area of picture and the non-active area.The width that reaches between XR and the X2 between X1 and the XL can optionally be adjusted.In Figure 10, between X1 and the XL and the lightness transformation series between XR and the X2 meet the linear function of a distance, also other function of available range is as the quadratic power function.
See also Figure 11, this figure is an exemplary block diagram of reflecting picture system 20 of the present invention.The ratio of reflecting the image scaled of picture signal and screen 22 when input is not simultaneously, for example working as screen 22 is the 16:9 ratio, and reflect the image that the picture signal transmits a 4:3 ratio, in the case, screen 22 provides a picture, and this picture has the K row, and each shows N+2M pixel, as shown in figure 12, and (N+2M): K=16:9.And the image of the 4:3 ratio that the VIDEO signal is transmitted system is shown in the active area NxK of picture, and N:K=4:3.When reflecting picture system 20 when producing images in active area 25, also periodically adjust the lightness and the colourity of the pixel of two non-active area 27 of MxK and 29, produce aging and prevent the ghost phenomenon to relax these zones.
Reflect picture system 20 and comprise an analog-digital converter (A/D) 24, it is signal digitalized to produce a digit data sequence D1 that it will export VIDEO.One comb filter 26 (comb filter), a colourity filter 28 (chroma filter) and a briliancy filter 23 (luma filter) convert data sequence D1 to two pixel data sequence CA and YA.CA and YA data sequence continuous each key element is all defined the lightness and the colourity of the pixel in the active area 25.If image system is shown in the picture of 4:3 ratio, then filter 28 and 23 need periodically produce data sequence CA and YA with a speed, if image system is shown in the picture of 16:9 ratio, then data sequence CA and YA need paragraph ground to produce (burst).For example, when display 22 is a CRT monitor, electron beam is inswept one when having the row of N+2M pixel, and this N pixel only just needs during the N in electron beam scanning to active area pixel, does not need data sequence CA and YA during to 2M pixel of non-active area 27 and 29 at electron beam scanning.Ratio corrector (aspect ratio corrector) circuit 32 comprises first-in first-out buffer (FIFO buffer), it stores according to the generation speed of the colourity briliancy filter key element with data sequence CA and YA, and when electron beam scanning arrives active area, data sequence CA and YA are exported, in addition, reflect picture system 20 and comprise a pair of digital filter 30 and 31, its processing sequence C A and YA are to produce extra lightness and chroma pixel data sequence CB and YB, when electron beam scanning arrives non-active area 27 and 29, sequence C B and YB will be output to screen.Multiplexer 34 is to be used for control signal according to a sequential circuit 38, optionally export CB, CM, pixel to the one RGB transducer 36 of YM and YB, when electron beam scanning arrives non-active area 27 and 29, the key element of multiplexer 34 transfer sequence CB and YB to RGB transducer 36 is imported data C as lightness input data Y and colourity, in like manner, when electron beam scanning arrives active area 25, the key element of multiplexer 34 transfer sequence CM and YM to RGB transducer 36 is imported data C as lightness input data Y and colourity, that is to say, the purpose of this multiplexer is input picture (CM, CY) with the calculating picture (CB that is calculated, YB) do combination.In addition, RGB transducer 36 is to be used for converting sequence C and Y to rgb signal, with the brightness of redness, green and the blue pixel of adjusting electron beam scanning CRT22 picture.One sequential circuit 38 provides clock signal with control device 23,24,26,28,30-32,36 and the operating clock of deflection circuit (deflection circuit) 39, deflection circuit 39 is the position of controlling electron beam, and conventional synchronization circuit 40 is to handle the clock signal that the VIDEO signal is produced with synchronizing sequential circuit 38.
