Embodiment
Please refer to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is drive unit according to an embodiment of the invention, and it comprises memory body 210, memory controller 220, overdrive circuit 230 and difference circuit 240.Overdrive circuit 230 is coupled to memory controller 220,220 read-write motion that are used for controlling memory body 110 of memory controller with difference circuit 240.230 of overdrive circuits are the computings that are used for overdriving with the output picture data of overdriving.
The step that difference circuit 240 is calculated the GTG difference is as follows: at first, picture is divided into a plurality of picture element blocks, as shown in Figure 3, Fig. 3 is the picture element block diagram according to present embodiment.Fig. 3 is that the display panel with 192 * 120 esolving degrees is an example, wherein each picture element region block size is 10 * 10 picture element block, its expression mode is SOD (R, C), (R C) is the upper left side picture element coordinate of picture element block, SOD (R, C) numerical value is the GTG difference of above-mentioned picture element block, and its formula is as follows:
(m, n) expression picture element coordinate figure, P (Q represents the height (representing with the picture element number) of picture element block for m, n) the picture element GTG value of expression picture data, and Y represents the width (representing with the picture element number) of picture element block, wherein when n=1, and P (m, 0)=0.As shown from the above formula, the GTG difference be by the difference of GTG value between the picture element on the picture element in the individual block and the adjacent left side with form, and the picture element on border is (as P (1,1) ~ P (10,1)),, therefore keeps original GTG value because its left side has not had picture element.It should be noted that (R only is the wherein a kind of mode that is used for indicating the picture element block C) to SOD, and present embodiment is not limited.The size of each picture element block also can be decided according to design requirement, is not subject to present embodiment equally.
Then, difference circuit 240 can according to the picture order that is received, be calculated its corresponding GTG difference when receiving picture data, then according to the position of individual block, and the GTG difference of picture before and after comparing.When the GTG difference differs by more than threshold value, then classify this picture element block as effective difference block, promptly represent the picture element block that gray scale variation is bigger.The number of adding up all effective difference block can obtain an effective difference number, can judge the gray scale variation degree of picture by the effective numerical value of difference number.As the heterodyne heteromerism during greater than default threshold value, i.e. activation memory controller 120 and the computing of overdrive circuit 130 with the picture data of overdriving.As the heterodyne heteromerism during less than default threshold value, promptly forbidden energy memory controller 120 and overdrive circuit 130 are to reduce power consumption.
Owing to represent that the gray scale variation degree of whole picture is less when effectively the difference number is less than default threshold value, even therefore forbidden energy memory controller 120 can not influence image quality with overdrive circuit 130 yet, but can effectively reduce the consumed power of memory controller 120 and memory body 110.In other words, present embodiment is that the gray scale variation degree according to picture determines whether the computing of activation overdrive circuit 230 to overdrive, propose to judge picture gray scale variation degree methods simultaneously, just be a plurality of picture element blocks with picture segmentation, and the GTG difference in the calculating individual block, tranmittance decides the gray scale variation degree of its picture than the GTG difference of front and back picture then.It should be noted that, because difference circuit 240 only need store the GTG difference of picture out of the ordinary and can compare, therefore in the process that compares the GTG difference, need not store the data of whole picture, only when activation overdrive circuit 230, just need store the data of whole picture.
From another perspective, can summarize a kind of driving method by the foregoing description, as shown in Figure 4, Fig. 4 is driving method according to an embodiment of the invention, be applicable to the drive unit of LCD, this drive unit comprises a memory body, one memory controller and an overdrive circuit, this driving method comprises the following steps: at first, picture is divided into a plurality of picture element blocks (step S410), receive first picture data and second picture data (step S420) then in regular turn, next, obtain GTG difference (step S430) in regular turn corresponding to first picture data and second picture.After obtaining the GTG difference, relatively before and after the GTG difference (step S440) of picture, and whether determine activation memory controller and overdrive circuit (step S450) according to comparative result.In step S450, when the differing greatly of the GTG difference of front and back picture, when promptly effectively the difference number is greater than threshold value, activation memory controller and overdrive circuit.When the difference of the GTG difference of front and back picture hour, when promptly effectively the difference number was less than threshold value, forbidden energy memory controller and overdrive circuit were with the reduction power consumption.
In sum, the present invention proposes to judge front and back picture gray scale variation degree methods with the GTG difference, and according to the change degree of GTG difference optionally forbidden energy memory controller and overdrive circuit to reduce power consumption, allow LCD can when picture changes less or tableaux, reach the effect of energy saving, when dynamic menu, keep its image quality simultaneously.
Though the present invention discloses as above with embodiment; right its is not in order to limit the present invention; have in the technical field under any and know the knowledgeable usually; without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; when doing a little change and retouching, so protection scope of the present invention is as the criterion when looking claims scope person of defining.
