Description
技术领域 technical field
本发明是有关于一种液晶显示器及其驱动方法,且特别是有关于一种可以改善液晶显示器大视角色偏现象的液晶显示器及其驱动方法。The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display and its driving method, and in particular relates to a liquid crystal display and its driving method which can improve the large-view angle deviation phenomenon of the liquid crystal display.
背景技术 Background technique
液晶显示器(Liquid Crystal Display,LCD)由于具有高画质、空间利用效率佳、低消耗功率、无辐射等优越特性,因而已逐渐成为市场的主流。目前,市场对于液晶显示器的性能要求是朝向高对比(High Contrast Ratio)、快速反应与广视角等特性,而目前能够达成广视角要求的技术例如有:多域垂直配向(Multi-domain Vertically Alignment,MVA)、多域水平配向(Multi-domain Horizontal Alignment,MHA)、扭转向列加视角扩大膜(Twisted Nematic plus wide viewing film,TN+film)及横向电场形式(In-PlaneSwitching,IPS)等技术。Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) has gradually become the mainstream of the market due to its superior characteristics such as high image quality, good space utilization efficiency, low power consumption, and no radiation. At present, the performance requirements of the market for liquid crystal displays are high contrast (High Contrast Ratio), fast response, and wide viewing angle. Currently, the technologies that can meet the wide viewing angle requirements include: Multi-domain Vertical Alignment (Multi-domain Vertically Alignment, MVA), Multi-domain Horizontal Alignment (MHA), Twisted Nematic plus wide viewing film (TN+film) and In-Plane Switching (IPS) and other technologies.
虽然液晶显示器可以透过上述多项技术而达到广视角的目的,但是在现实状况下,由于大视角伽马曲线(gamma curve)会与正视角伽马曲线有所不同,因此当使用者站在较为偏斜的角度(例如60度)观看液晶显示器所显示的影像时,其所看见的影像色彩并不会与从正面观看同一影像画面的色彩相同,此种现象就是所谓的“色偏”。为了要改善液晶显示器大视角的色偏问题,目前已经有人提出以较高灰阶的色彩与较低灰阶的色彩混合成一中间灰阶色彩的方式,并据此发展出两种改善色偏的方法。Although the liquid crystal display can achieve the purpose of wide viewing angle through the above-mentioned multiple technologies, in reality, since the gamma curve of the large viewing angle will be different from the gamma curve of the normal viewing angle, when the user stands When viewing an image displayed on a liquid crystal display at a relatively oblique angle (such as 60 degrees), the color of the image it sees will not be the same as the color of the same image viewed from the front. This phenomenon is the so-called "color cast". In order to improve the color shift problem of the large viewing angle of the liquid crystal display, some people have proposed a method of mixing a higher gray-scale color and a lower gray-scale color into a middle gray-scale color, and based on this, two methods for improving color shift have been developed. method.
现有改善色偏的方法主要是在空间上将显示面板内的每一个像素分成两个子像素,并且依据每一个像素的目标灰阶,分别施加两个不同的驱动电压至其内的两个子像素,使得每一个像素内的两个子像素的等效灰阶等于其目标灰阶。此作法虽然可使液晶显示器大视角的色偏问题转为趋缓,且当使用者从正视或以倾斜的角度来观看液晶显示器所显示的影像画面时,可以看到相近色彩的影像画面,但是依循此类解决方式会降低液晶显示器的画面分辨率。The existing method for improving color shift is to spatially divide each pixel in the display panel into two sub-pixels, and apply two different driving voltages to the two sub-pixels in accordance with the target gray scale of each pixel , so that the equivalent gray scale of the two sub-pixels in each pixel is equal to its target gray scale. Although this method can make the color shift problem of the large viewing angle of the liquid crystal display turn into a slowdown, and when the user watches the image picture displayed by the liquid crystal display from a front view or from an oblique angle, the image picture with similar colors can be seen, but Following such solutions will reduce the picture resolution of the LCD.
另一种现有改善色偏的方法主要是将处理影像数据的频率提升为传送影像数据的频率的两倍,亦即改变液晶显示器的画面更新率(frame rate),并且以两张子影像画面叠加成液晶显示器最终所显示的一张影像画面。如此作法,即可不必针对显示面板的像素作分区设计,所以液晶显示器的画面分辨率便不会下降,但是依循此类解决方式会造成液晶显示器所显示的影像画面产生闪烁。Another existing method for improving color shift is mainly to increase the frequency of processing image data to twice the frequency of transmitting image data, that is, to change the frame rate of the liquid crystal display, and to use two sub-image frames superimposed into an image screen finally displayed on the LCD monitor. In this way, there is no need to design partitions for the pixels of the display panel, so the image resolution of the liquid crystal display will not decrease. However, following such a solution will cause flickering of the image displayed on the liquid crystal display.

具体实施方式 Detailed ways
为让本发明的上述和其它目的、特征和优点能更明显易懂,下文特举本发明的较佳实施例,并配合所附图式,作详细说明如下。In order to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below together with the accompanying drawings.
本发明可有效解决前述现有技术用以改善液晶显示器大视角色偏问题的方法所衍生出的缺点,亦即画面分辨率下降与影像画面产生闪烁等问题。The present invention can effectively solve the disadvantages derived from the above-mentioned method for improving the large viewing angle deviation of the liquid crystal display in the prior art, namely, the problems of reduced picture resolution and flickering of the video picture.
图1为本发明一实施例的液晶显示器的系统架构图。图2为图1所示液晶显示器的显示面板内部分像素间的耦接关系示意图。请合并参照图1及图2,液晶显示器100包括时序控制器(timing controller)101、栅极驱动器(gatedriver)103、源极驱动器(source driver)105,以及显示面板107。其中,栅极驱动器103具有多数条栅极配线G1~Gm,且此栅极驱动器103会依据时序控制器101所提供的基本时序,而依序透过栅极配线G1~Gm输出扫描信号(scan signal),藉以对应的开启显示面板107内的每一列像素。FIG. 1 is a system architecture diagram of a liquid crystal display according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the coupling relationship between some pixels in the display panel of the liquid crystal display shown in FIG. 1 . Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 together. The
源极驱动器105具有多数条源极配线S1~Sn,且此源极驱动器105会依据时序控制器101所提供的影像数据(video data),而透过源极配线S1~Sn输出对应的数据信号(data signal)至显示面板107内被栅极驱动器103开启的列像素。由图2所绘示的示意图可看出,显示面板107内具有多数个像素(pixel)P,且每一个像素P会配置在对应的栅极配线G1~Gm与源极配线S1~Sn的交会处。更清楚来说,所有奇数列像素的像素P会配置在奇数条栅极配线G1、G3...与对应的源极配线S1~S3的交会处,而所有偶数列像素的像素P会配置在偶数条栅极配线G2、G4...与对应的源极配线S2~S4的交会处,但本发明像素的配置位置并不以此为限,其它的像素配置方式亦为可能。The
时序控制器101用以接收以第一频率(例如为120Hz)传送的影像数据,并依据所述第一频率与其本身内建的至少第一伽马查找表101a与第二伽马查找表101b处理所接收的影像数据后,而分别产生亮区影像画面与第一暗区影像画面。于本实施例中,时序控制器101用以查找所接收的影像数据的所有数字灰阶值于第一伽马查找表101a中所分别对应的穿透率,并据以控制源极驱动器105提供相应的第一灰阶电压至显示面板107内被栅极驱动器103逐一开启的像素P。藉此,经由源极驱动器105来驱动显示面板107内的所有像素P后,即产生上述亮区影像画面。The
另外,时序控制器101可查找所接收的影像数据的所有数字灰阶值于第二伽马查找表101b中所分别对应的穿透率,并据以控制源极驱动器105提供相应的第二灰阶电压至显示面板107内被栅极驱动器103逐一开启的像素P。藉此,经由源极驱动器105来驱动显示面板107内的所有像素P后,即产生上述第一暗区影像画面。In addition, the
显示面板107电性连接时序控制器101,用以依序叠加上述亮区影像画面与第一暗区影像画面,进而显示影像画面。于本实施例中,相同数字灰阶值在第一伽马查找表101a所查找出的穿透率大于在第二伽马查找表101b所查找出的穿透率,且第一暗区影像画面的显示时间长于所述亮区影像画面的显示时间。举例来说,第一暗区影像画面与亮区影像画面的显示时间比可为2∶1,但本发明并不以此为限。The
基于上述,由于时序控制器101是利用相同的频率(亦即120Hz)来传送并处理影像数据,所以相较于将处理影像数据的频率提升为传送影像数据的频率的两倍的现有作法,本实施例的液晶显示器100所显示的影像画面并不会产生闪烁。另外,由于本实施例并不需要针对显示面板107的像素P作分区设计,所以相较于将显示面板内的每一个像素分成两个子像素的现有作法,本实施例的液晶显示器100的画面分辨率就可以在不降低的前提下,仍可有效地改善色偏的问题,亦即让液晶显示器于大视角观看时的伽马曲线贴近于正视角观看时的伽马曲线。Based on the above, since the
再者,依据显示面板107的各像素P间的耦接关系可知,显示面板107只要采用行反转的驱动方式(column inversion)即能达成点反转(dotinversion)驱动方式所能达到的效果,亦即提升液晶显示器100所呈现的画面质量,且相较于采用点反转驱动方式的现有液晶显示器而言,本实施例的液晶显示器100整体的消耗功率会更低。Furthermore, according to the coupling relationship between the pixels P of the
于本发明另一实施例中,时序控制器101本身除了内建第一伽马查找表101a与第二伽马查找表101b外,亦可以内建第三伽马查找表(未绘示)。例如,时序控制器101同样是依据所述第一频率(亦即120Hz)与其本身内建的第一伽马查找表101a与第二伽马查找表101b处理所接收的影像数据后,而分别产生上述亮区影像画面与第一暗区影像画面。另外,时序控制器101更会依据所述第一频率与其本身内建的第三伽马查找表处理所接收的影像数据后,以产生第二暗区影像画面。In another embodiment of the present invention, besides the built-in first gamma lookup table 101a and the second gamma lookup table 101b, the
于本实施例中,时序控制器101用以查找所接收的影像数据的所有数字灰阶值于第三伽马查找表中所分别对应的穿透率,并据以控制源极驱动器105提供相应的第三灰阶电压至显示面板107内被栅极驱动器103逐一开启的像素P。藉此,经由源极驱动器105来驱动显示面板107内的所有像素P后,即产生上述第二暗区影像画面。In this embodiment, the
显示面板107可依序叠加上述亮区影像画面、第一暗区影像画面与第二暗区影像画面,而显示影像画面。于本实施例中,相同数字灰阶值在第一伽马查找表101a所查找出的穿透率大于在第二伽马查找表101b所查找出的穿透率,而在第二伽马查找表101b所查找出的穿透率大于在第三伽马查找表所查找出的穿透率,且上述第一暗区影像画面的显示时间累加第二暗区影像画面的显示时间长于亮区影像画面的显示时间。举例来说,第一暗区影像画面、第二暗区影像画面与亮区影像画面的显示时间比可以为1∶1∶1,但本发明并不以此为限。The
基于上述,由于时序控制器101还是利用相同的频率(亦即120Hz)来传送并处理影像数据,所以相较于将处理影像数据的频率提升为传送影像数据的频率的两倍的现有作法,本实施例的液晶显示器100所显示的影像画面同样还是不会产生闪烁。另外,由于本实施例也不需要针对显示面板107的像素P作分区设计,所以相较于将显示面板内的每一个像素分成两个子像素的现有作法,本实施例的液晶显示器100的画面分辨率同样可以在不降低的前提下,比上一实施例更有效地改善色偏的问题,亦即让大视角伽马曲线更为贴近正视角伽马曲线。再者,本实施例的液晶显示器100亦具有降低功率消耗的效果。Based on the above, since the
