Description
The application is that Chinese patent application number is 02826863.6, the application people is Clairvoyante Inc, denomination of invention dividing an application for the patented claim of " arrangement of subpixels of color flat panel display and sub-pixel rendering setting ".
Technical field
The application is relevant with the improvement of display design, particularly, arranges, shows that with colour element the improvement of used addressing method and video data format conversion method is relevant.
Background technology
Full color perception in the eyes is to be produced by the three class color sensitization neurocyte that are referred to as " cone ".This three classes photosensory cell is sensitive to the visible light of different wave length respectively: long, in and short (correspond respectively to " red ", " green " reaches " indigo plant ").The relative density of these three kinds of photosensory cells is obviously different each other.Red photosensory cell is more slightly than green receptor.Compare with red photosensory cell or green receptor, blue receptor is considerably less.
Summary of the invention
The sensory channel that the human visual system handles the detected information of eyes comprises: brightness, colourity and motion.Motion is important to the flicker threshold value only for the imaging system deviser.Therefore luminance channel is only accepted the input from redness and green receptor, is " colour blindness ".Luminance channel is with the such mode process information of the contrast that can strengthen the edge.Chrominance channel does not have the contrast on border humidification.Because luminance channel is used and has been strengthened each redness and green receptor, so the resolution of luminance channel is than the high several times of resolution of colourity passage.Blue receptor can be ignored to the contribution of brightness sensation.Therefore luminance channel is just as same spatial frequency signal bandpass filter.When peak response appears at 35 cycles/(cycle/0).It has limited the response when 0 cycles/and 50 cycles/on transverse axis and the Z-axis.This just means that this luminance channel only can differentiate two interregional relative brightnesses in the ken, and can't differentiate absolute brightness.In addition, if a certain details surpasses 50 cycles/, will mix.On a little higher than Z-axis of limit on the transverse axis.Limit on the inclined shaft is then lower.
Chrominance channel can be further divided into two subchannels, and Given this we just can see whole colors.These passages are different from luminance channel fully, and they are equivalent to two low pass filters.One of them can differentiate the color of object at any time, and no matter this object has much in our ken.Red/green colourity subchannel resolution limiting is to cross in 8 cycles, and yellow/chroma blue subchannel resolution then is cycles/of a specified duration.Therefore, for the spectators that great majority examine, red/green or yellow/error that blue resolution caused by low octave almost can't be noticed, just as not having fully, as Xerox and NASA, Ames Research Center experiment confirmed like that (referring to R.Martin, J.Glue, J.Madmer Detectability of Reduced BluePixel Count in Projection Displays, SID Digest 1993).
Luminance channel is determined image detail by analysis space frequency Fourier transform component.By means of signal theory, any oneself know signal can be represented as a series of various amplitudes and frequency sine wave and.From the arithmetic angle, this process that component sine waves of certain known signal are understood is called Fourier transform.The human visual system on the two dimensional image signal in response to these component sine waves.
Color perception is subjected to the influence of a kind of being referred to as " assimilation " effect or Von Bezold mixed color effect.The pixel (or sub-pixel or luminophor) why Here it is separates on the display can be felt as the reason of color mixture.Mixed color effect betides in a certain given angular distance scope in the visual field.Because blue receptor is rare relatively, therefore, for blue receptor, the angular distance that colour mixture occurs is bigger than red or green.This distance is about 0.25 ° to blue, and is about 0.12 ° for red or green.At 12 inches viewing distance place, 0.25 ° of 50mils (1,270 μ) that is equivalent on the display.Therefore, if blue pixel pitch is less than colour mixture spacing half (625 μ), just color can be mixed and can not be lost picture quality.This mixed effect is directly related with above-described colourity subchannel resolution limiting.Be lower than resolution limiting, just can see separate colors, be higher than resolution limiting, just can see color mixture.
The invention provides a system, comprising:
A display panel, described display panel comprise a plurality of sub-pixel groups of expression output data form; Described sub-pixel group comprises that further four first color sub-pixel, two second color sub-pixel and two the 3rd colours are in pixel; Described second color sub-pixel and described the 3rd sub-pixel constitute a checkerboard style substantially;
Reception is different from the device of the input image data of representing in the input data layout of described output data form; And
The sub-pixel rendering input image data is so that the described input image data in the conversion input data layout is the device of described output data form.

Embodiment
This part is described various implementations and embodiment in detail, has mentioned the part example in the description of drawings.To adopt same reference number to refer to same parts or similar parts in the whole instructions as far as possible.
Arrangement of subpixels
Figure 1 shows that to have a kind of arrangement mode that is organized as 110 the sub-pixel emitters that four look luminophors are arranged 100, each row group moves down a sub-pixel.Thereby the unit group 120 of having duplicated with having formed a bigger rectilinearity that constitutes by 8 sub-pixels.Introduced this an array in ' 094 application, ' 094 application simultaneously also discloses the way of numerous sub-pixels being arranged to same color dot in copied cells, figure is a such example shown in the IB, and wherein four luminophors 106 in 8 luminophor repeat cell groups 120 have been set as same color.For example, these four luminophors 106 can be set as brightness adjustment (that is balance) green.For example, other sub-pixel emitters can be set as red 104 and blue 102.The zone of 106 green sub-pixels is adjusted in brightness, and promptly real estate is equivalent to the twice of redness 104 and blue 102 subpixel area, but is had same brightness by humorous being adjusted to red 104 sub-pixels.Whole green energy can be generated a gratifying white point by humorous being adjusted to when all sub-pixels are fully illuminated.In ' 094 application, disclosed before the method for this harmony green sub-pixels brightness.
Among Fig. 1 C, compare with 102 in pixel emitters 104 with other two, the size and the aspect ratio of four sub-pixel emitters 106 all are reduced. Minority sub-pixels 104 and 102 aspect ratio can be adjusted equally.In this example, the relative size of sub-pixel 106 is adjusted to half of sub-pixel 104 or 102 sizes.As previously mentioned, color can be selected on demand.Most color sub-pixel occupy the second and the 4th row although it is pointed out that simultaneously that 8 one group the marshalling of duplicating is shown, also can satisfy most sub-pixels and occupy first and tertial requirement.
Among another embodiment, color is configured to redness 104, blueness 102 and does not have the green 106 of luminance balance.Because green 106 quantity is the twice of redness 104 and blue 102 quantity, when the result is fully illuminated when all sub-pixels, just can see a gratifying white point.
In these two embodiment,, can adjust the sub-pixel aspect ratio for just array of display 100 comprises foursquare repeat cell groups 120.This need be placed on most colours on the square lattice in pixel emitters 106, and minority color sub-pixel luminophor 102 and 104 is placed on or almost is placed on one Utopian " checkerboard ".For another kind of color the example of embodiment is set, sub-pixel 106 can be configured to redness, and sub-pixel 104 can be configured to green, shown in figure IB and figure IC.Under this color assignment, the sub-pixel rendering algorithm that is about to below discuss will be worked similarly.
Not only green or red sub-pixel can be served as the plurality of colored sub-pixel of 8 one group marshalling 120; Blue subpixels also can be served as most sub-pixels.This type of aligning method was once disclosed in ' 738 provisional application.Therefore, all three kinds of color one redness, green and blue can take most sub-pixel position of marshalling.In addition, what deserves to be mentioned is that when these color one redness, when green and blue is used to present embodiment is described, on behalf of the suitable Color Range one of a demonstration, other suitable selections one of three kinds of colors can realize purpose of the present invention equally.
Shown in Figure 1A, Figure 1B and Fig. 1 C, sub-pixel is rectangular shaped substantially.Other shape of what deserves to be mentioned is sub-pixel also is possible, expects within the scope of the present invention.For example, if can produce, the shape of other numerous regular and irregulars of sub-pixel also is possible.Mode described herein can be used for marking sub-pixel rendering (SPR), but has only when the combination of 8 color sub-pixel is arranged in this mode.
Because the shape of sub-pixel can be various in the scope of the invention, the accurate position of sub-pixel also can be varied in the scope of the invention.For example, figure SA and SB have described a marshalling that similar 8 sub-pixels constitute, and one of them or two most bars 106 have displacement (relatively or in other mode) for sub-pixel 102 and 104.Other perpendicular displacement is also possible.
Other embodiment of 8 one group marshalling is possible equally.Fig. 9 A and 9B have described a kind of 8 one group marshalling, and wherein most sub-pixels 106 are dispersed in the checkerboard that is made of sub-pixel 102 and 104.Most sub-pixel position also have other arrangement mode in this type of checkerboard, and within the scope of the present invention.
Fig. 9 A and 9B can have cylindrical electrode to be zigzag to pass this display.Compare with the RGB stripe system that equal resolution is arranged, the cylindricality driver is saved and be should be 1/3, the quantity of sub-pixel be approximately the RGB stripe system sub-pixel quantity 2/3.
Other embodiments of the invention also are possible.For example, whole 8 one group sub-pixel is organized into groups the effect of the row and column driver that can be rotated by 90 degrees reverses is connected to this group.The copending application of " color monitor with horizontal arrangement of subpixels and design " by name discloses this type of sub-pixel level aligning method, and is incorporated herein by reference.
Another kind of luminophor " checkerboard " when being numbered 09/916,232 (' 232 application) in pending trial and the common transfer U.S. Patent application disclosed redness and green " checkerboard " similar.This patented claim by name " being used to have the arrangement of colour element of the full color imaging device of simplified addressing ", file July 25 calendar year 2001, employing is numbered 10/150, the sub-pixel rendering technology of 355 U.S. Patent Application Publication, this patented claim " the sub-pixel rendering method and system that adopts gal to adjust " by name, on May 17th, 2002 filed.These copending applications are drawn herein does reference.The disclosed method of above-mentioned copending application can be made amendment and is used for embodiment disclosed herein.
Figure 2 shows that drive arrangement 200 a kind of graphic of the colorful light-emitting body arrangement of subpixels shown in Figure 1A, Figure 1B and Fig. 1 C.For simplicity, the sub-pixel in the given example is identical with the quantity of the sub-pixel shown in the figure IC.Because parts 210 can be represented one or several electronic component (diagram does not show this point in order to avoid masking device), these drive arrangement can be used in a large amount of display techniques.Particularly they can represent the capacitive display element that is used for passive addressing liquid crystal display (LCD) or electroluminescence demonstration (EL).Can also represent the gaseous state arresting element in the plasma display panel (PDP), the semiconductor diode element of passive addressed inorganic light-emitting diode or organic light emitting diode display, transistor, electric storage means and the capacity cell of active matrix liquid crystal display (AMLCD) also can be represented multiple transistor, electric storage means and the light-emitting component of active matrix organic light-emitting H utmost point tube display (AMOLED).Generally speaking, can represent color sub-pixel in other known or display technology of remaining to be invented and relevant electronic component thereof.
Known in the industry driving timing and method can be used for above-mentioned NXM and drive matrix.But need be selected according to concrete color, particularly to adjust according to the color change of passing in dull and stereotyped checkerboard or the independent row.For example, can improve known in the industry technology be in the passive liquid crystal display " multi-line addressing " or " multi-line addressing " so that the marshalling of row be limited in the row combination of odd and even number.This will reduce potential color colour contamination and disturb, because in the row that two interactive color sub-pixels are arranged, have only a kind of color to be marked at every turn.
Inversion schemes is applicable among the embodiment disclosed herein, is pure zero and gas current thereby the electric polarity at these two ends, graphic crossover display terminal unit provides a time average at two ends, unit.Be two kinds " points be inverted " graphic 300 and 310 shown in Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B, refer to respectively " 1 * 1 " and " 2 * 1 " on the active matrix liquid crystal display that these two kinds graphic all can obtain good effect.Photoemissive when unbalance when taking place between the both positive and negative polarity, especially when the motion of the picture that shows on the eyes tracking screen, the graphic better effects if shown in Fig. 3 B.Every width of cloth chart has all shown the polarity of half display mark field, and the polarity of another half-court is opposite, and these alternately occur, and will draw pure zero current (zero Dc bias), and the insider knows this point.
Data Format Transform
At an embodiment of the Data Format Transform that adopts district's resampling technology, Fig. 4 A, Fig. 4 B and Fig. 4 C are depicted as respectively green 406 for green, blue and red plane, blue 402 and red 404 resample area array.Notice that each color resample area array 406,402 and 404 is made of resample area 426,422 and 424, and each resample area all there is the resample points that is associated with it 416,412 and 414 separately.In each color plane, resample points 416,412 and 414 respectively with green 106, blue 102 and the relevant position of red 104 subpixel area be complementary; But inter-color-plane-phase relationship is then dispensable accurately for it.Number that what deserves to be mentioned is phase relation is can be arbitrarily.
Fig. 4 D is depicted as a kind of specific inter-color-plane-phase relationship 400.This relation can be used to change traditional square lattice red, green, blue look rgb format that is converged fully, and this form will show one to one with the square green 106 sub-pixel grid shown in the figure IC.In this inter-color-plane-phase relationship 400, green 406, blueness 402 and red 404 resample area array are confirmed as making redness 414 and blue 412 resample points to overlap with green 416 sampled points substantially.This just makes green sub-pixels 106 as is located on red 104 and the top of blue 102 sub-pixel checkerboards or closely related with it.
Be respectively the green 406 shown in Fig. 4 A Fig. 4 B and Fig. 4 C, blueness 402 and red 4D4 resample area array shown in Fig. 5 A, Fig. 5 B and Fig. 5 C, it is overlapping that these arrays are schemed 100 of the arrangement of subpixels shown in the IC, has the inter-color-plane-phase relationship 400 shown in Fig. 4 D.Fig. 5 D is depicted as the inter-color-plane-phase relationship 400 of Fig. 4 D, and it is overlapping by 100 of the arrangement of subpixels modes shown in Fig. 1 C.These charts only are indicative, just assist to understand resample points among this embodiment, reconstruction point, resample area with the relation between the sub-pixel position.
Having described in ' 355 patented claims of above institute reference and will having introduced the data format conversion is the method that is suitable for this display.Method is as follows: (1) determines the sample region in secret of each data point of introducing three color pixel data; (2) determine the resample area of each color sub-pixel in the display; (3) draw the coefficient of each resample area, this coefficient is made of mark, and the denominator of mark is the function of resample area, and molecule is the function of the area of above-mentioned each sample region in secret, and sample region in secret may partially overlap with resample area; (4) the introducing pixel data and the multiplication of each sample region in secret are amassed; (5) each addition is obtained the brightness value of each resample area.
Investigate re-sampling operations " one to one " the format conversion situation shown in Fig. 4 D and the figure SD, green plane conversion is a single optical filter.Red and blue color planes adopts and goes through one 3 * 3 filter factor matrix that draws in ' 355 applications:
| 0 | 0.125 | 0 |
| 0.125 | 0.5 | 0.125 |
| 0 | 0.125 | 0 |
Fig. 5 E is depicted as the result who inserts two panchromatic input data pixels.These two pixels are converted into two groups of sub-pixels that insert with different amplitudes, are called " logical pixel " 500.One of them logical pixel be positioned at red sub-pixel 104 the center or near it.Green sub-pixels 106 is configured to 100% illumination.Red sub-pixel 104 is configured to 50% illumination, and four blue subpixels 102 on every side are configured to each illumination of 12.5%.The result is in the central authorities of redness 104 and green 106 sub-pixels, and human eye can be seen a white point.Another logical pixel 500 is arranged to 100% illumination with green sub-pixels 106 equally, and the blueness on next door is arranged to 50% illumination in pixel 102, and four red sub-pixel 104 on every side are arranged to each illumination of 12.5%.
Fig. 6 B and 6C are depicted as one selectable blue 602 and red 604 color plane resample area array one are expressed as square (60X) optical filter ([0.5 0.5]) herein---replace blueness 402 shown in Fig. 4 B and Fig. 4 C and red 404 resample area array respectively.Fig. 6 D has illustrated a kind of inter-color-plane-phase relationship 610 that adopts green 406, blueness 602 and red 604 resample area array.Fig. 6 A is depicted as the re-sampling operations that adopts inter-color-plane-phase relationship 610 and inserts the logical pixel 600 that two input data format pixels produce, and inter-color-plane-phase relationship 610 is to get the input data of pixel one to one from having with green sub-pixels 106.These logical pixel 600 can have same relative position with two logical pixel 500 shown in the figure SE.Simultaneously, its central authorities that also may be positioned at green box filter is complementary with an input pixel substantially by regulating grid a little.
The adaptivity filtering technique also can be embodied in the disclosed herein pixel arrangement mode, will further specify this point below.
Say once again, the green resampling used a single optical filter.Red and blue color planes adopts very simple 1 * 2 a coefficient optical filter: [0.5 0.5].
Adopt a block adaptive optical filter to reach 3 * 3, use the minimum value of two row memories with regard to the sampling that does not require the input data.This adaptivity optical filter, with be numbered 10/215, disclosed similar in the U.S. Patent application of pending trial and common transfer in the time of 843 (' 843 application), this patented claim is called " method and system with sub-pixel rendering of auto adapted filtering ", on August 8th, 2002 filed, herein by incorporated by reference.This test can be used the less sampling of input data, as the matrix of IX3 or IX2.Green data is sampled so that perpendicular line or oblique line are detected, and subsequently, the redness and the blue data of contiguous green test point may be changed.
Therefore, whether an adaptivity filtering detects and can be undertaken being detected to detect the high-contrast limit by following step: green data (G) and a minimum value and a maximal value are made comparisons, if G＜minimum value or G〉maximal value, a record value is set to 1 so, otherwise record value is set to 0; Relatively three continuous green data point record values judge to detect template (mask) whether the edge is detected; If detect, that just to redness and/or blue data take appropriate measures just like, use gal or a kind of new value or different filter factors.
Following table has been explained this detection method:
| Data (at three continuous points) | 0.98 | 0.05 | 0.0 |
| Low detect (G, 0.1) | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| High detection (G＞0.9) | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| Lower and not high | Correctly | Correctly | Correctly |
For above-mentioned example, a limit is detected, and a large amount of selections can be arranged and/or take a large amount of measures in this point.For example, gal correction can be applicable to the output to red and/or blue box filter; Perhaps adopt representative to require a new fixed value of the output of balance color; Or be used in pixel painted (SPR) filtering.
In this case, similar to the detection method of black line, stain, black border and black oblique line, because have only three values detected:
In the last table, one side first row can be represented any black pixel that white pixel is arranged.Second row is represented a limit of a black line or stain.The third line is represented a limit of a black line of another position.Binary numeral is used as a coding of detection.
Detection method to white straight line, white point, white edge and white oblique line is as shown below:
If it is correct detecting, for example, high detection and low the detection were respectively for 24 0 and 16 (exceeding 255), and the output valve of using these limits of box filter (box filter) so may be 128+/-4 or other suitable values.Pattern match (patternmatching) is near the binary numeral of record value.128 one that is enhanced a suitable gal power simply resets and can be output in the display.For example, for gal-2.2, output valve is near 186.Even input has variation, this is an edge modifications item, therefore can use a fixed value and can not violate manifest error.Certainly, for more accurate, can use a gal look-up table equally.What deserves to be mentioned is difference but may similar modified value can be used for white edge and black border.What deserves to be mentioned is equally as the result who detects the edge, redness and/or blue data all can by a different set of filter factor handle just like, use (10) filtering (being single filtering), it can effectively close the sub-pixel rendering at that pixel value.
Above-mentioned detection was mainly at green test, with aftertreatment redness and blue in the past.As selection, red and blueness can be detected respectively, and skill need be taken measures.If only need correction technique is used in black border and white edge, all three look data sets all can be detected so, and carry out logical operation (and the result ANDedtogether) together.
Further simplification can be carried out as follows.If delegation has only two pixels to accept rim detection, so above-mentioned detection can further be simplified, and still can reach high threshold and low threshold value.If (01) or (10) be detected, just can use a new value once otherwise use original value.
Also have another kind of short-cut method can use (being example with the redness): from being right after the red value value R on the left side
N-1If in deduct red data value Rn Δ for example 240 1 the edge be detected so one by one greater than a predetermined number.If a limit is detected, just can change a new value, or use gal, will be worth Rn and output to display, or use new spr filter coefficients; Otherwise if there is not the limit detected, the result of box filter outputs on the display.Because Rn or R
N-1One of them is big slightly, and the absolute value of Δ can be detected.Same simplification can be applied on the blueness; As fruit green is the division pixel in marshalling, and that does not just need to detect or adjust.As selection, can (be Rn-R to falling the limit
N-1＜0) and to rise the limit (be Rn-R
N-1＞0) adopts diverse ways.
The result obtains each logical pixel of having only H sub-pixel 600.For obtaining a white point, red and blue data are adopted box filter, the illumination of green sub-pixels 106 is set to 100% as previously mentioned.The redness 104 on next door and blue 102 illumination all are set to 50%.The re-sampling operations of the inter-color-plane-phase relationship 610 shown in Fig. 6 D is very simple, with low cost, but its picture quality well.
Above-mentioned two data format conversion methods are placed on a fairly large number of green sub-pixels by the center with logical pixel and are complementary with human eye.The width of green sub-pixels has only half of red sub-pixel, and its brightness is but identical with the brightness of red sub-pixel.In fact, the good brightness of each green sub-pixels 106 looks like to have only half of relevant logical pixel in each zone, remaining brightness with near the red sub-pixel that is illuminated relevant.Therefore, green sub-pixels provides most high resolving power intensification modulation, and redness and blueness provide lower resolution color modulation, are complementary with human eye.
Fig. 7 A is depicted as an alternative inter-color-plane-phase relationship 700 using the green 406 shown in Fig. 4 A, 4B and the 4C, blueness 402 and red 404 resample area array.Notice that the relative phase in this inter-color-plane-phase relationship 700 is identical with the relative phase of the color sub-pixel arrangement 100 shown in Fig. 7 B, the relative phase of the resample points of this inter-color-plane-phase relationship 700 is identical with the relative phase of inter-color-plane-phase relationship 610.If this inter-color-plane-phase relationship 700 is used as the Data Format Transform of " one to one ", green will be a single filtering again, and redness and blueness will adopt 3 * 2 coefficient filtering cores:
| 0.0625 | 0.0625 |
| 0.375 | 0.375 |
