技术领域technical field
本发明涉及一种液晶显示器,特别涉及一种具有发光二极管背光模块及校正单元的液晶显示器。The invention relates to a liquid crystal display, in particular to a liquid crystal display with a light emitting diode backlight module and a correction unit.
背景技术Background technique
液晶显示器(liquid crystal display,LCD)的背光模块(backlight unit)可提供液晶显示器所需的光源。也就是说,由于液晶显示器的液晶面板(liquid crystalpanel)本身不发光,因此,液晶显示器中背光模块的表现即可决定液晶显示器表现在外的视觉感。随着液晶显示器制造技术的提升以及大尺寸与低价格的趋势下,为了要保持市场竞争力,开发设计新型的背光模块使得背光模块符合高亮度、低消耗电力就是最新的趋势。A backlight unit (backlight unit) of a liquid crystal display (LCD) can provide a light source required by the liquid crystal display. That is to say, since the liquid crystal panel of the liquid crystal display does not emit light itself, the performance of the backlight module in the liquid crystal display can determine the external visual sense of the liquid crystal display. With the improvement of liquid crystal display manufacturing technology and the trend of large size and low price, in order to maintain market competitiveness, it is the latest trend to develop and design a new type of backlight module to make the backlight module meet high brightness and low power consumption.
一般来说,公知液晶显示器的背光模块的光源是由冷阴极灯管(coldcathode fluorescent lamp,简称CCFL)所组成。然而,由于冷阴极灯管(CCFL)的色彩饱和度不高,因此,利用发光二极管(light emitting diode,LED)来作为背光模块的光源已经是新的趋势。再者,利用发光二极管作为背光模块的光源具有较高的色彩饱和度、薄型化、以及不含汞等优点,并且该发光二极管背光模块可再进一步搭配液晶面板的驱动方式来作动态的控制用以补偿液晶面板的视角以及反应速度的限制,因此,现在已经有厂商将该发光二极管背光模块应用在笔记型计算机屏幕以及液晶电视(LCD TV)。Generally speaking, the light source of the backlight module of the conventional liquid crystal display is composed of cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL for short). However, since the color saturation of CCFL is not high, it is a new trend to use light emitting diode (LED) as the light source of the backlight module. Furthermore, using light-emitting diodes as the light source of the backlight module has the advantages of high color saturation, thinness, and mercury-free, and the light-emitting diode backlight module can be further matched with the driving method of the liquid crystal panel for dynamic control. To compensate for the limitation of the viewing angle and response speed of the LCD panel, some manufacturers have applied the LED backlight module to the notebook computer screen and LCD TV (LCD TV).
请参照图1,其为发光二极管背光模块中的发光二极管排列的示意图。发光二极管背光模块是利用多个红色(R)、绿色(G)、蓝色(B)的发光二极管交互排列所形成,而发光二极管之间的布局(layout)距离也会影响实际的颜色表现。由于红色(R)、绿色(G)、蓝色(B)发光二极管所产生的白光接近光的三原色的波长,因此,由发光二极管背光模块所组装的液晶显示器具有较高的色彩饱和度Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of the arrangement of LEDs in the LED backlight module. The LED backlight module is formed by alternate arrangement of multiple red (R), green (G), and blue (B) LEDs, and the layout distance between the LEDs will also affect the actual color performance. Since the white light generated by red (R), green (G), and blue (B) light-emitting diodes is close to the wavelengths of the three primary colors of light, the liquid crystal display assembled by the light-emitting diode backlight module has high color saturation.
请参照图2,其为公知冷阴极灯管背光模块以及发光二极管背光模块的色域表现比较图。图中的区域100代表色彩空间(color gamut)的示意图,而虚线所围成的区域110代表公知冷阴极灯管背光模块所能表现的颜色范围,再者,实线所围成的区域120则代表发光二极管背光模块所能表现的颜色范围。很明显地,由图2可知,发光二极管背光模块所能表现的颜色范围较传统的冷阴极灯管背光模块还要大。Please refer to FIG. 2 , which is a comparison diagram of the color gamut performance of a conventional CCFL backlight module and an LED backlight module. The
然而,发光二极管背光模块的颜色表现120与区域100的色彩空间还是有一段差距,因此增加发光二极管背光模块的颜色表现范围以及控制发光二极管实际的颜色表现则为现今液晶显示器业者想要解决的问题。However, there is still a gap between the
如美国专利号码US7,068,333所公开的具有极化片光检测器的液晶显示器及其校正方法(liquid crystal display with photodetectors having mountedthereon and its correcting method)。该专利于液晶显示器中提供光检测器于背光模块中背光光源与挡光板之间。然而,光检测器位于背光光源与挡光板之间并无法检测到液晶显示器实际的显示亮度,并且该光检测器也无法根据液晶显示器外围的亮度改变而改变。再者,由于该光检测器仅能检测出背光模块中的部分区域的亮度,并无法进行液背光模块中所有区域的亮度检测,因此,该光检测器所输出的检测结果可能与背光模块实际输出的亮度产生误差。A liquid crystal display with photodetectors having mounted thereon and its correcting method disclosed in US Patent No. US7,068,333. In this patent, a light detector is provided in a liquid crystal display between a backlight light source and a light shield in a backlight module. However, the light detector is located between the backlight light source and the light baffle and cannot detect the actual display brightness of the liquid crystal display, and the light detector cannot change according to the brightness of the periphery of the liquid crystal display. Furthermore, since the light detector can only detect the brightness of some areas in the backlight module, and cannot detect the brightness of all areas in the liquid backlight module, the detection result output by the light detector may be different from the actual backlight module. An error occurs in the brightness of the output.
