Embodiment
In order to make those skilled in the art person understand the present invention program better, and above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage can be become apparent more, be example with the LCD TV below, the present invention is further detailed explanation with embodiment in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Figure 1 shows that the synoptic diagram of a LCD TV.As shown in the figure, televisor 100 comprises LCDs 130.Figure 2 shows that the schematic diagram of televisor 100.As shown in the figure, televisor 100 comprises image input interface 110, image processing apparatus 120, LCDs 130 and backlight 140.Described image processing apparatus 120 comprises image analyzing unit 121, zoning unit 122, liquid crystal interface unit 123, backlight driver 124 and central processing unit 125.Described image processing apparatus 120 can be made up of a plurality of discrete devices, also can be integral structure, is integrated on the chip piece, for example is integrated in a SOC the inside.Described backlight 140 is divided into several backlight subregions.
Image input interface 110 receives picture signal, and sends it to image processing apparatus 120.The picture signal here can be a digital signal, also can be simulating signal, for example rgb signal, CVBS signal, S-video signal or the like.If simulating signal, image input interface 110 at first can carry out analog to digital conversion to it, and analog signal conversion is become digital signal, and then delivers to image processing apparatus 120.
Image processing apparatus 120 receives these picture signals and will wherein riches all the way gives zoning unit 122.Zoning unit 122 is several different picture portions according to the backlight subregion of backlight 140 with image division, and picture portion is corresponding one by one with the backlight subregion.
Picture signal after the subregion is transported to image analyzing unit 121,121 pairs of these picture signals of image analyzing unit are analyzed, calculate the typical brightness data of each area image, and the typical brightness data that will calculate each area image send to central processing unit 125.Central processing unit 125 calculates each regional backlight illumination modified value according to the typical brightness data and the related data (typical brightness data of the backlight illumination of for example current each backlight subregion, former each picture portions of two field picture or the like) of each area image equally.
After calculating current each regional backlight illumination modified value, central processing unit 125 sends to backlight driver 124 and liquid crystal interface unit 123 with this backlight illumination modified value.
Each regional backlight illumination modified value that backlight driver 124 is determined according to central processing unit 125 generates the respective regions of giving described backlight 140 with the corresponding drive signal of this backlight illumination modified value, thereby realizes each regional backlight illumination is regulated.
At present, backlight driver 124 is generally controlled the brightness of backlight by pwm signal.As shown in Figure 3, when the backlight illumination modified value of backlight driver 124 according to each backlight subregion, the PWM drive signal that produces each backlight subregion is given the led driver of each backlight subregion.Because led driver needs to drive a plurality of LED fluorescent tubes simultaneously, the pwm signal itself that backlight driver 124 produces can not produce enough power, therefore all need this PWM drive signal to be amplified in each PWM drive signal, so that corresponding led driver drives the LED fluorescent tube of backlight subregion through a high-power constant-flow driver.Suppose that backlight 140 is divided into N backlight subregion, then backlight driver 124 needs N high-power constant-flow driver that the PWM drive signal of its generation is amplified at most.Because high-power constant-flow driver price general charged is higher, the cost of this driving method is obviously very high, and because the volume of DC/DC amplifier is generally all bigger, it is bigger that this just makes that the volume of backlight becomes.

Central processing unit 125 is connected by series system on hardware with MCU, for example uses SPI or I2C bus communication.
When image processing apparatus 120 work, central processing unit 125 calculates the backlight illumination modified value of each backlight subregion, and communicate by serial communication and MCU, according to the register address of MCU, the backlight illumination modified value of each backlight subregion is write the register the inside of corresponding M CU.
At last, MCU produces the corresponding driving signal and gives corresponding led driver according to the data of each register the inside.The MCU of present embodiment itself is by independent DC/DC power supply power supply, and the drive signal of its generation enough drives corresponding led driver, therefore, does not need to add high-power constant-flow driver between MCU and led driver.
Be that 80 subregions are example with the backlight subregion below, the course of work of the backlight driver 124 of present embodiment is illustrated.For convenience of description, suppose that here all backlight subregions all are equal-sized rectangles, be about to the matrix that the entire backlight source is divided into 10 row, 8 row, and backlight driver 124 adopts 10 MCU, each MCU drives the led driver in 8 zones of every row.
When televisor 100 is started working, image processing apparatus 120 begins the data statistics of a field picture according to the field enable signal of picture signal, at first the view data of 10 picture portions of 121 pairs first row of image analyzing unit is analyzed, count the typical brightness data of first each picture portion of row, and send it to central processing unit 125, central processing unit 125 is according to the typical brightness data of these picture portions, the backlight illumination modified value of 10 the backlight subregions of delegation that calculate.
Image analyzing unit 121 begins to analyze the view data of second 10 picture portions of going then, simultaneously central processing unit 125 respectively sheet select 10 backlight subregion corresponding M CU of first row, the optimum gradation value of these backlight subregions register address according to its pairing led driver is write in the pairing MCU register of this backlight subregion.CU is according to the data in the register for this backlight subregion corresponding M, produces drive signal, drives by pwm signal or the corresponding led driver of level mode.
By that analogy, central processing unit 125 writes the pairing backlight illumination modified value of each backlight subregion in the middle of the relevant register respectively, MCU is according to the data in the register, produce the corresponding driving signal corresponding led driver is driven, so just reached the purpose of dynamic adjustment backlight illumination.
In the present embodiment, because a MCU can drive a plurality of led drivers (for example 16), promptly use a DC/DC power supply to replace several original DC/DC amplifiers, this has just significantly reduced the quantity of DC/DC converter, not only provide cost savings significantly, also reduced the volume of backlight driver simultaneously.
In sum, backlight driving method of the present invention has solved the control problem of a plurality of led drivers under the multi partition situation.Make liquid crystal indicator with a kind of serial mode control backlight driver, reduced data line sum between front-end control device and the driving element, reduced by the sum of light source device, reduced cost, also reduce simultaneously the volume of backlight, reduced the interference between the lead that too much causes because of data line.
Certainly; above-mentioned explanation is not to be limitation of the present invention; the present invention also is not limited in above-mentioned giving an example, and variation, remodeling, interpolation or replacement that those skilled in the art are made in essential scope of the present invention also should belong to protection scope of the present invention.
