Fig. 1 is the block diagram that illustrates according to the exemplary embodiment of data compensating circuit of the present invention.
With reference to Fig. 1, data compensating circuit 100 comprises: storer 110, demoder 120, scrambler-demoder 130, first processor 140, second processor 150 and compensator 160.
In storer 110, store in advance from the data Fc (n-1) of previous frame data F (n-1) compression.In the present embodiment, if frame data F (n-1) comprises 24 bits, then previous packed data Fc (n-1) comprises 1/3rd 8 bits that are compressed to frame data F (n-1).So storer 110 is less than 2
m(m represents the bit number of frame data F (n-1)).That is to say that when previous frame data F (n-1) comprised 24 bits, the size of storer 110 was 2
8Similarly, storage has the packed data of the data volume of the amount that is less than a frame in storer 110, thereby can reduce the size of storer 110.
During present frame, demoder 120 is read the previous packed data Fc (n-1) that is stored in advance in the storer 110, and previous packed data Fc (n-1) is decompressed to export previous decompressed data Fd (n-1).Particularly, demoder 120 is condensed to previous packed data Fc (n-1) decompress(ion) of m/3 bit the previous decompressed data Fd (n-1) of m bit.
During present frame, scrambler-demoder 130 receives current frame data F (n), and with current frame data F (n) the current packed data Fc of boil down to (n) so that current packed data Fc (n) is stored in the storer 110.Current frame data F (n) comprises the m bit, and current packed data Fc (n) comprises the m/3 Bit data.Frame scrambler-demoder 130 decompresses current packed data Fc (n) to export current decompressed data Fd (n) during present frame.
The first difference DELTA F d (n) between first processor 140 output previous decompressed data Fd (n-1) and the current decompressed data Fd (n), second processor 150 based on the first difference DELTA F d (n) and current frame data F (n) generation before once more decompression (re-decompressed) data Fd ' (n-1).Particularly, second processor 150 had been produced before once more decompressed data Fd ' (n-1) with the first difference DELTA F d (n) mutually with current frame data F (n).For freeze frame (free-frame) image, current decompressed data Fd (n) is identical with previous decompressed data Fd (n-1), thereby the first difference DELTA F d (n) equals zero.Therefore, exportable identical with current frame data F (n) before decompressed data Fd ' was (n-1) once more for second processor 150.
Compensator 160 based on before once more decompressed data Fd ' (n-1) and current frame data F (n) compensate current frame data F (n), to export current offset data F ' (n).Particularly, when before once more decompressed data Fd ' (n-1) and second difference between the current frame data F (n) during less than predetermined first reference value, the compensator 160 outputs current offset data F ' identical with current frame data F (n) is (n).Therefore, for the freeze frame image, the first difference DELTA F d (n) equals zero, thereby before decompressed data Fd ' was (n-1) identical with current frame data F (n) once more.
During present frame, output both be not compressed does not have decompressed current frame data F (n) yet.So, do not have processed current frame data F (n) to be used to display image, thereby avoid damaging the freeze frame image.
When described second difference during greater than described first reference value, compensator 160 outputs compare with current frame data F (n) increased the predetermined backoff value current offset data F ' (n).
Below, describe in detail by overdrive (overdrive) the current offset data of (increase or reduce) of compensator 160 with reference to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3.

With reference to Fig. 2, frame data is corresponding to the first target voltage Vt1, and current frame data is corresponding to the second target voltage Vt2 that is higher than the first target voltage Vt1.When the voltage difference between the first target voltage Vt1 and the second target voltage Vt2 during,, within a frame, can not obtain desired destination brightness Lt even second target voltage is applied to liquid crystal layer greater than predetermined reference value.In order to address this problem, compensator 160 (as shown in Figure 1) is overdrived (increase) to the 3rd target voltage Vt3 that is higher than the second target voltage Vt2 with the second target voltage Vt2 during present frame n.Thereby, during present frame n, the 3rd target voltage Vt3 is applied to liquid crystal layer, thus the rise time of the voltage of liquid crystal layer can be reduced, and can in a frame, obtain desired destination brightness Lt.
With reference to Fig. 3, frame data is corresponding to the first target voltage Vt1, and current frame data is corresponding to the second target voltage Vt2 that is lower than the first target voltage Vt1.When the voltage difference between the first target voltage Vt1 and the second target voltage Vt2 during,, within a frame, can not obtain desired destination brightness Lt even the second target voltage Vt2 is applied to liquid crystal layer greater than predetermined reference value.In order to address this problem, compensator 160 (as shown in Figure 1) is overdrived (reducing) to the 3rd target voltage Vt3 that is lower than the second target voltage Vt2 with the second target voltage Vt2 during present frame n.Thereby, during present frame n, the 3rd target voltage Vt3 is applied to liquid crystal layer, thereby can reduces the fall time of the voltage of liquid crystal layer, and can in a frame, obtain desired destination brightness Lt.
As mentioned above, the voltage of will overdrive (increase or reduce) is applied to liquid crystal layer, thereby improves the response speed of the liquid crystal molecule of liquid crystal layer.

Data controlling signal CONT2 is offered the signal of data drive circuit 500 as the driving of control data driving circuit 500.Data controlling signal CONT2 comprises: the switching signal of the driven vertical enabling signal of log-on data driving circuit 500, the polarity of translation data voltage, determine the output indicator signal from the output time of the data voltage of data drive circuit 500.
Form timing controller 600, built-in data compensating circuit shown in Figure 1 100 in timing controller 600 with chip form.Particularly, stores compressed data in storer 110 (as shown in Figure 1), thereby can reduce the size of storer 110, and can be in timing controller 600 internal memory 110.
Data compensating circuit 100 receives current frame data F (n) from the external graphics controller (not shown), and during present frame current frame data F (n) is compensated for as current offset data F ' (n).Data drive circuit 500 receives current offset data F ' (n) in response to the data controlling signal CONT2 from timing controller 600, and from from selecting the gray-scale voltage of gray-scale voltage generator 800 corresponding to current offset data F ' gray-scale voltage (n).Then, data drive circuit 500 is converted to data voltage with the gray-scale voltage of selecting, to export this data voltage.
Therefore, display unit 300 is in response to data voltage and grid voltage display image.Particularly, under the situation of freeze frame image, current offset data F ' (n) is changed into the data voltage that does not also have decompressed current frame data F (n) corresponding to both not being compressed, thereby display unit 300 can use and not have impaired data to come display image.
According to top description, compressed frame data also is stored in it in storer, decompressing after the frame data that storer is read, the frame data that decompress is offered compensator.Therefore, can reduce the size of storer, and can be in timing controller internal memory, thereby reduce manufacturing cost, increase productive rate.In addition, under the situation that shows the freeze frame image, both not being compressed does not have decompressed current frame data to be used to display image yet, thereby avoids corrupt data.
Data compensating circuit compares mutually the packed data corresponding to three successive frames, and output does not have compressed current frame data according to comparative result, perhaps exports the intermediate value between the current frame data and first offset data.Therefore, display device can improve response speed, and avoids the corrupt data owing to compress.
