Embodiment
The present invention summarizes a brightness relationship formula after the needed brightness generation mechanism of display image is done labor, promptly is
(1)L=b*t
Wherein, the needed brightness of L represent pixel, the intensity of light source that on behalf of backlight module, b provide, the penetrance of t represent pixel, the GTG value (being pixel data) that it is corresponding required.As previously mentioned, in traditional mechanism, b is a fixed value, total be exactly the full integrated brightness when bright of backlight module, its corresponding display cycle all maintains equal state, in other words, backlight module can be kept the state of work ratio 100% always, and does not have any change.This has caused the situation of backlight module power consumption.
The present invention proposes dynamically to adjust the b value of backlight module after going into seriously traditional problem, promptly be the work ratio of dynamically adjusting backlight module, its corresponding parameter b.But because the actual needed brightness of pixel still need be kept to produce desired color, the original GTG value that therefore also needs to change pixel becomes the needed GTG value of cooperation backlight module work ratio, and corresponding parametric t is to reach actual needed brightness L.Below for some embodiment as description of the invention, but the present invention be not subject to for some embodiment.And for some embodiment also can do suitable combination mutually, be not limited to other embodiment.
Fig. 2 shows according to the embodiment of the invention, a kind of circuit box synoptic diagram of dynamic backlight source control device.Consult Fig. 2, dynamic backlight source control device is imported corresponding RGB (RGB) data in order to receive pixel, handles the back by analysis with output pixel output data and a pulse-length modulation (PWM) signal.This device comprises an image analyzing unit 110, is used for receiving pixel input data, and carries out exporting a view data after the graphical analysis.One data cell is stored a relation data.This relation data is that data 114 and PWM adjustment data 116 are adjusted in a brightness that corresponds to a grey-scale range.Grey-scale range for example be one by black to white scope.It for example is gamma table 114 that data 114 are adjusted in brightness, in order to carry out brightness correction.PWM adjusts data 116, for example is PWM table, in order to the work ratio of control backlight module, after the mutual relationship between itself and the gamma table will be described in.
Then, one brightness calculation unit (Luminance Calculation Unit) 112 receives by the view data of image analyzing unit 110 outputs and data 114 are adjusted in brightness and a PWM adjusts data 116, and, calculate a required GTG value of the required brightness of corresponding input according to the principle of formula (1).Again, also according to the size of required GTG value, according to gamma table 114 and PWM table 116, export a required pixel brightness data and required PWM data respectively.One PWM work ratio circuit box (Adjust PWMDuty Cycle Unit) 118 receives required PWM data, with output pwm signal, with the work ratio of the PWM that adjusts backlight module.One multiplication unit 122 receives pixel input data and finds the needed brightness adjustment of corresponding required pixel brightness data multiplier according to this by gamma table 114, pixel is imported data be multiplied by its brightness adjustment multiplier, output pixel output data afterwards; Thus, the synthetic effect of pixel data output and adjusted PWM work ratio just can meet original needed brightness.In addition,, in the present embodiment, can increase by a divider 120 in addition, to adjust the usefulness of the correction of multiplier as brightness in order to cooperate the operation of multiplication unit 122.
Fig. 3 shows according to the embodiment of the invention, the content of gamma table 114 and PWM table 116.Consult Fig. 3, the content of gamma table 114 for example is pixel input data and brightness value (G), promptly is the gamma curve that brightness correction is used.The content of PWM table 116 for example is the relation curve of brightness value (G) and PWM value.By preceding described, by gamma table 114 and PWM table 116, brightness calculation unit 112 just can calculate required pixel data output and required PWM work ratio; Yet for the embodiment of Fig. 2, its relation data is to store with two tables of data, therefore needs the desired data of bigger memory size with storage map 3.
The present invention makes the relation table that Several principles is simplified required foundation again, to replace PWM table and gamma table originally.At first, note that at this pixel data value of output is that the pixel data value of importing is multiplied by a multiplier value (k), k=output data/input data.L (total brightness)=b (the peaked brightness value of PWM) * t (brightness value of the pixel data of input)=b (the amended brightness value of PWM) * t (brightness value of the pixel data of output) again.This expression, the b of traditional mechanism such as last equation is set in the PWM maximal value.In order to save energy, the present invention can pass through to adjust t (pixel data of output), and changes b (PWM of output) accordingly, and so the work ratio of backlight module can reduce, also therefore can power saving.
In general, the adjustment of backlight illumination can be set some restrictions; Therefore in present embodiment, the scope of suppose PWM is by 0 to 255 expression, and the minimum value that hypothesis PWM sets is 64, and the PWM maximal value is 255, in addition, arrives the deceiving of corresponding output white input grey-scale range also with 0 to 255 expression.Note that at this aforesaid PWM maximal value 255 only is the usefulness of explanation with minimum value 64, but not restriction of the present invention; That is in actual applications, the dealer can set up required maximal value and minimum value on their own.
From the PWM table of Fig. 3, the brightness value of learning PWM minimum value 64 correspondences of tabling look-up for example is 67.Then, learn that from gamma table the pixel input value of corresponding brightness value 67 is 126 as a diacritical point.That is, in the present embodiment, when the pixel input value below 126, the present invention is that the value with PWM is set in minimum value 64, to utilize output data to meet required brightness, thus, because the value of PWM is maintained at minimum value 64, therefore just can reach best power saving effect; And for the pixel input value greater than the situation more than 126, because at this moment required brightness is bigger, if the value of PWM is maintained at minimum value, just can't meet required brightness, therefore, in this case, the present invention is set at maximal value 255 with output data, so just can reach best power saving effect.
As previously mentioned, in order to reach the optimization of power saving, the present invention imports data area with pixel and is distinguished into two scopes, is called low scope and high scope at this, and according to aforesaid mechanism, just all corresponding relations can be based upon in the question blank.See also table one, it has listed pixel input data, PWM value, multiplier value (k), and the corresponding relation of pixel data output.
According to aforesaid principle, it is 64 that the PWM value of output has the PWM minimum value, and the PWM maximal value is 255, and wherein, the grey-scale range of pixel input data is with 126 as a diacritical point, so grey-scale range is distinguished low scope and high scope are arranged.
The situation of low scope at first is discussed, as previously mentioned, when pixel input data less than or when equaling 126, the PWM value of output can be set in PWM minimum value 64.
By aforesaid formula as can be known, L (total brightness)=b (the peaked brightness value of PWM) * t (brightness value of the pixel data of input)=b (the amended brightness value of PWM) * t (brightness value of the pixel data of output), therefore, in the situation of low scope, L=b (255) * t (input)=b (64) * t (out put), hence one can see that, and we can pass through following formula, calculates the required output pixel data of corresponding each input pixel data.In addition, because therefore multiplier value (k)=output data/input data also can be calculated multiplier value easily.
Note that for less input data at this, for example in the scope of 0-16 because output can be in state of saturation, thus the present invention directly to set the output data of this moment be 32.And other corresponding output data all can be calculated by following formula, to build in the question blank 1.
For instance, if the input data are 18, just can be with this substitution following formula, L=b (255) * t (18)=b (64) * t (output), so just, can extrapolate t (output)=b (255) * t (18)/b (64), just can be again by the anti-data output=t that releases desire output of gamma table -1[b (255) * t (18)/b (64)] is 45.Thus, just can extrapolate multiplier value (k)=45/18=2.5.

Under the pixel input value is situation in high scope, promptly be the scope more than 127, as previously mentioned, in order to reach best power saving effect, the pixel output valve can be set in maximum penetrance 255.Therefore, be 127 to be example with the pixel input value, the numerical value of multiplier value (k) can obtain k=2.02 divided by pixel input value (127) by pixel output valve (255), therefore need not set up especially.Yet when the pixel output valve was set in maximal value (255), output PWM value can downgrade relatively, to keep former predetermined brightness, therefore needed to set up output PWM value table.
For instance, if the pixel data of input is 252, the aforesaid equation L=b of substitution (255) * t (252)=b (PWM out put) * t (255) so, because b (255), t (252), t (255) are known, therefore just can release the numerical value of b (PWM output), and and then learn that the required output valve of PWM is 249.
Disclose so far, this field has knows that usually the knowledgeable should understand, and question blank 1 is set up, so the account form of the related data of corresponding other input data is not just given unnecessary details in this in addition.
Please note at this, in the embodiment of Fig. 2, brightness calculation unit 112 is to utilize PWM table 116 and gamma table 114, with according to the input data, calculate required pixel data output and PWM output (be equivalent to and calculate PWM value listed in the table one, multiplier value (k), output data in real time) in real time.Yet, in another embodiment of the present invention, also these data can be stored as showing in advance, thus, just need not calculate in real time according to the input data at every turn, and only must just information such as required PWM value, multiplier value (k), output data can be read out via question blank one.
See also Fig. 4, Fig. 4 is the circuit box synoptic diagram of the dynamic backlight source control device of another embodiment of the present invention.In the present embodiment, the dynamic backlight source control device can be a mechanism of using two charts simultaneously.Wherein, PWM output table unit 162a includes two fields importing data and PWM value in the table one; And multiplier table unit 162b includes two fields of input data and multiplier value (k).Therefore, image analyzing unit 150 can directly be exported and analyze data to two lookup unit 163a, 163b, inquire about PWM output table unit 162a and multiplier table unit 162b respectively accordingly, with export accordingly respectively required PWM value to PWM work ratio circuit box 156 and required multiplication value to multiplication unit 158.Again, according to the variation of actual design, two lookup unit 163a, 163b also can be integrated into a lookup unit, so that PWM output table unit 162a and multiplier table unit 162b are inquired required data.
In addition, the present invention in addition can be with table one more to simplify.Note that owing to be distinguished into two pixel input ranges according to display characteristic at this, all is in minimum value 64 for the PWM output valve of low scope, need not special storage.Multiplier value (k) for high scope is the ratio of unalterable rules, need not special storage.Therefore, further save under the considering of internal memory and table one can be simplified to single consolidated statement, as shown in Table 2.

By table two as can be seen, the data of required storage only are consolidated statements of 255 data.When importing data in low scope, for example be that the storage data content in the 0-126 scope is the data of multiplier value (k) wherein, the input data for example are that the storage data content in the 127-255 scope is the data of PWM output valve in high scope.Therefore, also reduce effectively in order to storage list two required memory sizes.
The characteristic that cooperates table two, Fig. 2 or the embodiment of Fig. 4 just can streamline any further.Fig. 5 shows according to another embodiment of the present invention, a kind of circuit box synoptic diagram of dynamic backlight source control device.Consult Fig. 5, compared to the circuit box of Fig. 2, the consolidated statement of present embodiment (General Table) 154 for example is to set up according to the data of table two to comprise multiplier value and PWM value.Brightness calculation square 152 can be given adjustment PWM work ratio circuit box 156 by consolidated statement 154 is exported corresponding data in the mode of tabling look-up, and then exports adjusted PWM output; Again or the export multiplier value give multiplier 158, to obtain adjusted pixel output.As for divider 160 is to cooperate the calculating of brightness calculation 152 just to need according to the content of consolidated statement (General Table) 154.In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, can also contraction in division device 160.In addition, image analyzing unit 150 is the same with the image analyzing unit 110 of previous Fig. 2.Therefore, the circuit structure of Fig. 5 more can be simplified the foundation of relation database table, to save the use of internal memory.
Further again, the structure of Fig. 5 more is simplified to the mechanism of tabling look-up and gets final product.As long as that is to say the work of brightness calculation 152 can find the needed output data of corresponding input pixel from consolidated statement 154 and give adjustment PWM work ratio circuit box 156 and divider 160 respectively.In this, divider 160 for example in high scope, calculates multiplier value according to unalterable rules and gives multiplier 158, makes the pixel penetrance maintain maximal value after adjusting, and it belongs to the high scope in table two.Because of the pixel penetrance fixedly maintains maximal value, the data that therefore will present the brightness variation are to reach by dynamic adjustment PWM value.
Under the mechanism based on single integrated table, Fig. 6 shows according to the embodiment of the invention again, a kind of circuit box synoptic diagram of dynamic backlight source control device.Consult Fig. 6, after brightness calculation unit 164 receives image analyzing unit 150, learn and to export to the PWM work ratio circuit box 156 or the data of multiplication unit 158.Can and cooperate the content of consolidated statement 154 do the design of circuit according to actual function as for the content of brightness calculation unit 164, be not limited to particular electrical circuit, also the use that therefore can save divider.In other words, under identical operations mechanism, circuit design, and the conversion in advance of consolidated statement 154 numerical value all are to change according to actual design, do not enumerate one by one.
Under identical required brightness, change the GTG value that increases former pixel count certificate in the present invention, therefore allow to reduce the intensity of backlight.The change of the intensity of backlight is to reach by adjusting work ratio.Again, relation table also can be simplified to single integrated table, also therefore saves memory size.
Though the present invention discloses as above with preferred embodiment; right its is not in order to limit the present invention; anyly have the knack of this skill person; without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; when can doing a little change and retouching, so protection scope of the present invention is as the criterion when looking the claim person of defining of the present invention.
