Embodiment
In order to make those skilled in the art person understand the present invention better, and make above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage can be more obviously understandable, below in conjunction with accompanying drawing and embodiment the present invention is further described.
As shown in Figure 1; The liquid crystal indicator of first embodiment of the invention comprises image input interface 110, image processing apparatus 120, LCDs 130 and backlight 140, and 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.The image processing apparatus 120 here can be made up of a plurality of discrete devices, also can be integral structure, is integrated on the chip piece.The liquid crystal indicator here can be products such as LCD TV, LCD, palm PC, mobile phone.
The course of work of this device is following:
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.This sentences rgb signal, and to be example describe the image processing process of image processing apparatus 120.
The rgb signal that image processing apparatus 120 receives has one the tunnel can be sent to image analyzing unit 121, is analyzed by 121 pairs of these rgb signals of image analyzing unit.Can carry out through several different methods picture signal analysis, can directly analyze, also can analyze the frequency field of picture signal to the spatial domain of picture signal.The for example directly brightness of computed image signal through such as means such as Fourier transform, Laplace transforms picture signal being analyzed, or is analyzed or the like the frequency spectrum of picture signal through additive method.
This sentences Luminance Analysis, and to be example describe the course of work of image analyzing unit 121.
The frame rgb signal that image analyzing unit 121 at first will receive converts the data-signal of yuv format into, and the purpose of image transitions is in order to extract the luminance signal of rgb signal the inside, so this process also can be replaced by the monochrome information of extracting rgb signal.YUV signal is a kind of picture signal form that is common in, and " Y " represents brightness, and what " U " and " V " represented then is colourity, and effect is to describe image color and saturation degree, is used for the color of specified pixel.Brightness can be created through the RGB input signal, and method is that the specific part with rgb signal is superimposed together.Colourity has then defined two aspects---the tone and the saturation degree of color, representes with Cr and Cb respectively.
Next image analyzing unit 121 is divided into several zonules with entire image; The zonule here can be rectangle, triangle, hexagon, rhombus, cruciform or other irregular figures, and the shape and the size of each zonule can be the same or different.For ensuing convenience of calculation, preferred, image analyzing unit 121 has become M equal-sized rectangular tiles with image segmentation; The M here is a natural number, and its value can confirm according to the size of picture signal, generally speaking; M is big more, and the effect of present embodiment can be good more; When rectangular tiles is enough little, little time the pixel, the value of M is maximum, and its maximal value is the quantity of the pixel that entire image comprised.For convenience, we with each rectangular tiles be labeled as m1, m2 ..., mM, shown in Fig. 2 (a).
Each rectangular tiles that is divided into all comprises the pixel of several images, and each pixel all has corresponding YUV information.Suppose to comprise in each rectangular tiles a pixel, then each rectangular tiles all comprises a Y component.Image analyzing unit 121 is analyzed through the Y component that each rectangular tiles is comprised, and then can calculate or count the monochrome information of each rectangle sub-district.For convenience, we with the monochrome information of each rectangular tiles be labeled as y1, y2 ..., yM.The monochrome information here can be the monochrome information or the like of difference or other of high-high brightness, mean flow rate, high-high brightness and the minimum brightness of each rectangle sub-district.The calculating of these monochrome informations and statistics can no longer specify through existing accomplished in many ways here.
Image analyzing unit 121 is delivered to zoning unit 122 with its Luminance Analysis result, and zoning unit 122 is according to comprising that the analysis result of the monochrome information of each rectangle sub-district carries out subregion to picture signal.The picture portion here is actually the process of a combination; Promptly the monochrome information according to each rectangle sub-district makes up a plurality of rectangles sub-district: according to certain zoning ordinance with monochrome information y1, y2 ..., yM satisfy certain condition the rectangle cell combination together, be combined into a picture portion; With the synthetic another one picture portion of the rectangle cell set that satisfies another condition, the rest may be inferred, all has been combined into corresponding picture portion up to all rectangle sub-districts.For convenience, we with the picture portion that is combined into be labeled as P1, P2 ..., Px, wherein x representes the subregion number, its maximal value is M, generally speaking, x is big more, the effect of present embodiment is good more, handles then more complicated accordingly.If the subregion number is 4, then the image behind the subregion maybe be shown in Fig. 2 (b), and the image behind the subregion can be continuous, also can be discontinuous.
The zoning ordinance here has multiple, can be pre-set rule, also can come dynamic definite according to picture signal.By contrast, it is more convenient to use pre-set rule treatments to get up, and dynamic zoning ordinance then more can embody characteristics of the present invention.Respectively it is described below.
When zoning unit 122 uses pre-set rule that image is divided; Suppose that preset rule is: divide with high-high brightness; High-high brightness is divided into 4 grades such as 0-63,64-127,128-191,192-255, the corresponding picture portion of each grade.Then the course of work of zoning unit 122 is following: zoning unit 122 at first receives the monochrome information of each rectangle sub-district.Then zoning unit 122 compares the high-high brightness of each rectangle sub-district and the brightness degree in the division rule: with synthetic first picture portion of the rectangle cell set of high-high brightness between 0-63, be designated as P1; With synthetic second picture portion of the rectangle cell set of high-high brightness between 64-127, be designated as P2; With synthetic the 3rd picture portion of the rectangle cell set of high-high brightness between 128-191, be designated as P3; With synthetic the 3rd picture portion of the rectangle cell set of high-high brightness between 192-255, be designated as P4.At last, zoning unit 122 sends the relevant information of P1, P2, P3 and P4 to central processing unit 125.
Divide different with the predefined division rule of use; When zoning unit 122 uses dynamic division rule that image is carried out subregion; Zoning unit 122 after the Luminance Analysis result who receives image analyzing unit 121, more than the step of a definite zoning ordinance.As a rule; Dynamically the difference of division rule and preset rule only is confirming of subregion threshold values; Be divided into example with high-high brightness equally; It is 4 basic intervals that equate with the full luminance area dividing that division rule in the last example uses 63,127 and 191 3 fixing threshold values, and dynamically division rule can be confirmed similar threshold values according to image itself.Be example to be divided into four subregions equally, a kind of method is to confirm three threshold values through the weighted mean brightness of calculating brightness histogram, and its process is following: the brightness histogram of computed image; Calculate this histogrammic weighted mean brightness, be designated as Ya1; Calculate the weighted mean brightness of the image of brightness between 0-Ya1, be designated as Ya2; Calculate the weighted mean brightness of the image of brightness between Ya1-255, be designated as Ya3.Three weighted mean brightness of calculating like this can be confirmed as three threshold values of dynamic division rule; Division rule then can be confirmed as: divide with high-high brightness; High-high brightness is divided into 4 grades such as 0-Ya2, Ya2-Ya1, Ya1-Ya3 and Ya3-255, the corresponding picture portion of each grade.Then zoning unit 122 compares the high-high brightness of each rectangle sub-district and the brightness degree in the division rule: respectively with synthetic four picture portions of the rectangle cell set of high-high brightness between 0-Ya2, Ya2-Ya1, Ya1-Ya3 and Ya3-255.
Because what histogram was represented is the statistical relationship between each brightness and its probability of occurrence, therefore will be more approaching through the size in the definite several intervals of the weighted mean brightness of compute histograms.For example for the darker image of whole image; Because the probability that its low-light level occurs is bigger; The zone of using above-mentioned preset rule to divide out, meeting the rectangle number of cells of high-high brightness between 0-63 and 64-127 will be many, and the area of corresponding P1 and P2 is bigger; Will be fewer and meet the rectangle number of cells of high-high brightness between 128-191,192-255, the area of corresponding P1 and P2 is less.Use the area of four picture portions that above-mentioned dynamic division rule divides then more approaching.
After image was divided, zoning unit 122 then can be divided backlight according to the result of picture portion, for convenience, we will cut apart good backlight subregion be labeled as B1, B2 ..., Bx (x representes the subregion number).Generally speaking, backlight subregion and picture portion are corresponding one by one, and division methods is identical, and for example B1 is all identical with shape, size, the position of P1.It is pointed out that the notion of cutting apart, dividing that the present invention mentions, being construed as only is that image or backlight have been carried out symbolistic division, and can not be interpreted as physically or the division on the circuit.
Central processing unit 125 is confirmed the brightness regulation rule of each backlight subregion according to results, and the regulation rule that results is corresponding with each backlight subregion is sent to liquid crystal interface unit 123 and backlight driver 124.This process of realization for ease, preferred, central processing unit 125 of the present invention calculates the brightness normalization coefficient of each picture portion according to the high-high brightness of each picture portion, confirms the regulation rule of each backlight region with this.
Being example with backlight subregion B1 below describes the course of work of central processing unit 125: the picture portion that backlight subregion B1 is corresponding is P1; Suppose that the image high-high brightness in the picture portion P1 is Lp1; And the high-high brightness of luminance signal is defined as Lmax, then can confirm a numerical value through the ratio that calculates Lp1 and Lmax, and this numerical value promptly can be used as the brightness normalization coefficient of backlight subregion B1; Be designated as u1, i.e. u1=Lp1/Lmax.Can find out that u1 is generally speaking less than 1.In order to embody effect of the present invention to greatest extent, the general value of Lmax is 255, and the calculating of brightness normalization coefficient also is not limited to this a kind of computing method.Calculate after the brightness normalization coefficient u1 of backlight subregion B1, central processing unit 125 then calculate B2, B3 ..., the brightness normalization coefficient of Bx, be designated as u2, u3 ..., ux.After calculating finished, central processing unit 125 sent the brightness normalization coefficient of each backlight subregion to backlight driver 124 and liquid crystal interface unit 123.
The brightness regulation rule that backlight driver 124 is confirmed according to central processing unit 125 produces the drive signal of each backlight subregion and gives said backlight 140.Different with common backlight driver; Because the brightness of common backlight can not be adjusted according to the difference of display frame; All can be operated in as the one of which under the high-high brightness, the drive signal to each backlight lamp tube of corresponding backlight Source drive is all identical.Backlight driver 124 of the present invention can send different drive signals for different backlights according to the difference of backlight subregion.
The brightness regulation rule that continues below to confirm with above-mentioned brightness normalization coefficient is that example is explained the course of work of backlight driver 124: backlight driver 124 is adjusted the drive signal of each backlight subregion according to the brightness normalization coefficient of each backlight subregion after receiving the brightness normalization coefficient of each backlight subregion.
With backlight subregion B1 is example, and backlight driver 124 confirms to the display brightness of backlight subregion B1 needs according to u1 at first that after the brightness normalization coefficient that receives backlight subregion B1 is u1 the display brightness that B1 needs is designated as Lb1.Brightness when supposing the backlight operate as normal is that Lb, normal working current are ib.Then backlight driver 124 is confirmed Lb1, i.e. Lb1=Lb * u1 through the product that calculates Lb and u1.After confirming the display brightness Lb1 that good B1 needs, next backlight driver 124 is adjusted the corresponding driving signal.Because the brightness of backlight is by the luminous flux decision of LED backlight, and LED luminous flux and its working current are linear, according to Lb1=Lb * u1, the working current that can be easy to draw the B1 correspondence should be ib * u1.If backlight driver 124 uses the PWM pulse width modulated signals that backlight is driven, then need adjust the dutycycle of corresponding pwm signal.The dutycycle of supposing the pwm signal that iB is corresponding is Db, and then backlight driver 124 is adjusted into Db * u1 with the dutycycle of the drive signal of backlight subregion B1.Then, backlight driver 124 with same method to B2, B3 ..., the drive signal of each subregion of Bx adjusts.At last, backlight driver 124 sends to backlight 140 with the adjusted drive signal of each subregion, the brightness of control backlight 140.
Said backlight 140 receives the drive signal after the adjustment, converts drive signal into LED backlight that corresponding drive current flows to corresponding backlight subregion.Because the drive signal that each backlight subregion is corresponding is different, the brightness of backlight 140 each subregions is also different accordingly.Because the brightness normalization coefficient is generally speaking less than 1 (being 1 to the maximum), the brightness Lb of the brightness of the backlight of each backlight subregion during all less than the backlight operate as normal, therefore, liquid crystal indicator of the present invention can effectively reduce the power consumption of backlight.
Owing to the brightness of backlight is adjusted,, must also be adjusted accordingly to picture signal itself for the original image of correct demonstration.The brightness regulation rule that liquid crystal interface unit 123 is confirmed according to subregion result and central processing unit 125 is adjusted picture signal itself.
The brightness regulation rule that continues below to confirm with above-mentioned brightness normalization coefficient is that example is explained the course of work of liquid crystal interface unit 123.With picture portion P1 is example; Because the brightness of the backlight subregion B1 that picture portion P1 is corresponding has been adjusted to Lb1 by original Lb; Lb1=Lb * u1, the brightness of B1 has become original u1 doubly, and the brightness of picture portion P1 need be divided by the image of correct this subregion of demonstration of u1 ability so.Liquid crystal interface unit 123 is adjusted the brightness of image of P1 in view of the above, and the brightness of all pixels in the picture portion P1 is obtained new monochrome information divided by u1.Then, liquid crystal interface unit 123 is also similarly adjusted the brightness of image of other each picture portions.At last, liquid crystal interface unit 123 converts adjusted picture signal to meet the LCDs interface specification signal, is sent to LCDs 130, is shown by LCDs 130.
Except the brightness of picture signal was adjusted, liquid crystal interface unit 123 can also carry out the colourity optimization process to the picture signal of each picture portion with reference to a configurable two-dimentional reference table.Generally speaking, the parameter values in the said configurable two-dimentional reference table is the experience ginseng value that obtains through a large amount of subjective evaluation and tests.
Can find out that from the computing method of above-mentioned brightness normalization coefficient because u1=Lp1/Lmax, the brightness of picture portion P1 is after divided by u1, its high-high brightness has become Lmax by original Lp1.Suppose that the original high-high brightness of picture portion P1 is 50, Lmax value 255, the brightness section of then adjusted picture portion P1 has become 0-255 by original 0-50, and the contrast of picture signal has increased significantly.This has just solved, and existing liquid crystal display contrast when low-light level is low, the shortcoming of level fuzzy.Except simple brightness to corresponding image performs mathematical calculations; The picture signal of picture portion is adjusted other several different methods in addition; For example the histogram-equalized image enhancement algorithms can effectively increase information content of image, more perfectly display image signals.
Need to prove that it is to accomplish synchronously that the said signal that drive signal is sent to backlight 140 and meets the LCDs interface specification is sent to LCDs 130.The just explanation for ease and it being defined according to its function of each functional unit in the image processing apparatus 120, in fact, these unit can only be included among a chip or the one section software program.Said backlight 140 also can be an ingredient of LCDs 130.
Shown in Figure 3 is the schematic diagram of second embodiment of the invention, different with Fig. 1, and the image processing apparatus 120 of the liquid crystal indicator of second embodiment also comprises a storer 126.Storer 126 is used for the data processed result of memory image treating apparatus 120 each unit, and like this, each unit of image processing apparatus 120 can be handled through calling the data of preserving in the storer 126 accordingly.
As shown in Figure 4, the schematic diagram of third embodiment of the invention is a kind of schematic diagram of liquid crystal display method.
Concrete, step 410 receives picture signal, and picture signal can be that digital signal also can be a simulating signal, if simulating signal, pass through analog to digital conversion is digital signal with analog signal conversion.
Step 420 can be to be that the zonule of a plurality of rectangles also can be the zonule of other multiple shape with image division for several zonules with image division, or even the combination of multiple figure.The size of each zonule can equate also can not wait.Preferably, the present invention becomes equal-sized rectangular tiles with image segmentation.
Step 430 is analyzed the brightness of the picture signal of each zonule has several different methods equally; For example can be through calculating the mean flow rate of each zonule; Also can calculate high-high brightness and minimum brightness poor of each zonule, perhaps just calculate the high-high brightness of each zonule.With the mean flow rate of calculating each zonule is example, and each above-mentioned rectangular tiles all can corresponding average brightness value.This average brightness value can be that mathematical mean also can be a weighted mean value, uses weighted mean value more can accurately represent the monochrome information of each zonule.
Step 440: the analytical approach and the analysis result that need according to step 230 are made up in a plurality of zonules carry out.Several above-mentioned brightness values can be divided into a plurality of grades, form several picture portions thereby the rectangular tiles of average brightness value within an interval is combined into a zone, and like this, the process of picture portion can be accomplished.Use fixing brightness value carry out grade classification implement fairly simple, but for most picture signal, this division methods is not best division methods.Preferably, more approaching for the quantity of the zonule that makes each grade, method of the present invention can be divided into groups to each zonule according to brightness histogram.The benefit of using brightness histogram to carry out subregion is, the picture signal of concentrating for brightness ratio (for example whole dark or integral body is brighter) can be told more level.
Step 450, generally speaking, in order to make processing more convenient, the backlight subregion is identical with picture portion to get final product.
Step 460 is adjusted generally and can be accomplished through following steps the brightness of different backlight area backlights: the brightness normalization coefficient that calculates each backlight subregion; Generate and the corresponding drive signal of this brightness normalization coefficient.The calculating of brightness normalization coefficient has had illustrated in front, repeats no more here.Calculate after the brightness normalization coefficient, can generate a drive signal and can be a drive current, also can be a driving voltage for corresponding backlight source partition, this drive signal.With the drive current is example, and the size of current of the drive current of this moment equals the product of initial current and this brightness normalization coefficient, and said initial current refers to the maximum current of said backlight subregion work.The reduction of backlight driver electric current can effectively reduce the power consumption of liquid crystal indicator.
Step 470: the picture signal to each picture portion is adjusted.Because the brightness of step 260 pair backlight subregion is adjusted, and for the original image of correct demonstration, must adjust picture signal.Because the brightness of backlight subregion decreases, the brightness of image of corresponding picture portion must improve.The high-high brightness of supposing certain picture portion is 50, and adjusted high-high brightness is 255, and then the brightness section of this picture portion has become 0-255 by original 0-50, and the contrast of picture signal has increased significantly.This has just solved, and existing liquid crystal display contrast when low-light level is low, the shortcoming of level fuzzy.Except simple brightness to corresponding image performs mathematical calculations; The picture signal of picture portion is adjusted other several different methods in addition; For example the histogram-equalized image enhancement algorithms can effectively increase information content of image, more perfectly display image signals.
As shown in Figure 5, the schematic diagram of fourth embodiment of the invention is the schematic diagram of other a kind of liquid crystal display method.
Different with embodiment shown in Figure 4, step 520 that picture signal is converted into YUV signal that embodiment shown in Figure 5 is many.
Step 530,540,550,560 and 570 can be with reference to the correlation step among the figure 4; Different is; Owing to formerly picture signal has been carried out format conversion; YUV signal after the conversion has directly comprised the monochrome information of picture signal, and about relating in Luminance Analysis and the calculation process, the correlation step that these steps among this embodiment are compared Fig. 2 deals with more easy.
Also have a bit different with embodiment shown in Figure 4, except the brightness of picture signal is adjusted, more than the embodiment shown in Figure 5 the step 580 that the colourity of the YUV signal of each picture portion is optimized.The carrier chrominance signal of step 580 pair YUV signal is optimized, and with reference to a configurable two-dimentional reference table, said picture signal is carried out the colourity optimization process.Generally speaking, the parameter values in the said configurable two-dimentional reference table is the experience ginseng value that obtains through a large amount of subjective evaluation and tests.
As shown in Figure 6, the schematic diagram of fifth embodiment of the invention is the schematic diagram of another liquid crystal display method.
