Background of invention
1. invention field:
The present invention relates to use the image display device of handheld display device, this handheld display device such as, liquid crystal display or EL (electroluminescence) display device for example; Electronic installation, liquid crystal TV, liquid crystal monitoring apparatus medium, they have used image display device to be used as the display part; Method for displaying image uses this image display device to realize that image shows; Display control program is used for allowing computing machine to carry out this method for displaying image; And computer readable recording medium storing program for performing, record this display control program on it.
2. the explanation of correlation technique:
Traditional image display device is divided into impulse type display device such as CRT (cathode-ray tube (CRT)), film projector etc. haply; And the handheld display device of using handheld display device, this handheld display device such as liquid crystal display, EL display device and similar above-mentioned equipment.
In the impulse type display device, show the light period of image and do not have the shown dark period of image to be alternately repeated.Consider that human eye is perceived as gray scale with brightness, this brightness is the brightness of image to be changed carry out time integral and obtain, during large approximate number frame in this image in fact be displayed on this screen.Therefore, human eye can be observed the image that is presented on the image display device under the sensation of nature, and in the image display device such such as the impulse type display device, brightness changed within a frame or shorter period.Figure 46 show when an object in traditional impulse-type image display apparatus during along with a static background horizontal ground motion brightness according to time of a horizontal line in the screen change.In Figure 46, transverse axis is illustrated in the luminance state of the horizontal direction (position of pixel portion in the horizontal direction) of this screen, and the longitudinal axis represents the time.Figure 46 shows with 3 frames and is presented at image on the screen.
In Figure 46, each frame period T101 is the one-period of update image.In impulse-type image display apparatus shown in Figure 46, light period T102 is the place that begins at each frame period T101.Dark period T103 follows in the back of light period T102, until image is updated in next frame.In dark period T103, brightness is minimum.
For the show state of a horizontal line, the display part A of Moving Objects is sandwiched between the display part B of static background.When the frame by frame update image, display part A is to the right motion just.
Noticing that the observer's of display part A eyes are following display part A, thereby moving in the direction that oblique bold arrow represents.By being changed, the brightness on the direction of object motion carries out the value that time integral obtains, as the brightness of human eye perceives.
Figure 47 shows the Luminance Distribution by the image shown in the viewed Figure 46 of the observer's who is noting Moving Objects eyes.
In the situation of impulse-type image display apparatus, the cycle between image update and the next image update is mainly dark period T103.In dark period T103, brightness is enough low to the brightness that can not offer time integral (value of the longitudinal axis).As a result, observer's eyes are clear that the difference in brightness of the boundary between static background and Moving Objects.Therefore, observer's eyes can clearly be distinguished background and object.
Consider that aspect the quality of moving image, handheld image display device is poorer than impulse-type image display apparatus.This will be described in detail below.
Figure 48 shows the brightness that changes along with time of the horizontal line in the screen during along with the static background horizontal ground motion when object in general traditional handheld image display device changes.In Figure 48, transverse axis is illustrated in the luminance state (position of pixel portion in the horizontal direction) on the horizontal direction of screen, and the longitudinal axis represents the time.Figure 48 shows with 3 frames and is presented at image on the screen.
In Figure 48, from different among Figure 46, each frame period T101 is whole to be light period T102.Dark period is not provided.
Figure 49 shows the Luminance Distribution by the image shown in viewed Figure 48 of eyes of the observer who notes Moving Objects.
Because a frame period T101 is whole to be light period T102, so the object that shows remains on identical position from image update to next image update the time.As a result, the value that the time integral that is changed by brightness on the direction of motion of object obtains can not reflect that static background and Moving Objects are in the difference in brightness of edge.Therefore, observer's eyes are regarded this edge as motion blur.This is a reason of the poor image quality of general traditional handheld image display device.
A solution of this problem of handheld image display device is the duration with light period to reduce to only about half of, and one-period is provided, and in this cycle, it is to realize in minimum brightness level (minimum brightness cycle) that image shows.Hereinafter, this system will be known as " minimum (brightness) insertion system ".
Figure 50 shows when an object is being suitable in traditional handheld image display device of minimum (brightness) insertion system with a static background horizontal ground motion brightness that the time with the horizontal line of screen changes to be changed.In Figure 50, transverse axis is illustrated in the luminance state on the horizontal direction (position of pixel portion in the horizontal direction) of screen, and the longitudinal axis represents the time.Figure 50 shows with 3 frames and is presented at image on the screen.
In Figure 50, from different in Figure 48, each frame period T101 comprises 1/2-frame dark period (perhaps minimum brightness cycle or minimum (brightness) insertion cycle) T103.
Figure 51 shows the viewed Luminance Distribution at image shown in Figure 50 of eyes by the observer who notes Moving Objects.
Compare with the general traditional handheld image display device shown in Figure 49, the motion blur shown in Figure 51 has been alleviated.
Yet, in the traditional handheld image display device that is suitable for minimum (brightness) insertion system, even be when realizing with maximum gray scale when image shows, each frame period comprises the minimum brightness cycle (perhaps minimum (brightness) insertion cycle or dark period).Therefore, the high-high brightness of being felt by observer's eyes is half in the general traditional handheld image display device that is unsuitable for this minimum (brightness) insertion system.
Especially ought launch by the light of nature the display device of bright dipping, such as the EL display device, when being used to this handheld image display device, compare with the general traditional handheld image display device that is unsuitable for minimum (brightness) insertion system, the minimizing of high-high brightness aspect is inevitable.
Another solution to this problem of motion blur has been proposed to be used in transmissible display device, such as transmissible liquid crystal display etc.According to the method for advising, identical approx with the maximum brightness level of the general traditional handheld image display device that is unsuitable for minimum (brightness) insertion system in order to guarantee, increase the brightness of this background illumination.
This solution of advising has following shortcoming.The first, improved the power consumption of background illumination.The second, even when realizing that with minimum brightness (black cycle) this image shows, can transmit by this display device from the light of background illumination.Therefore, minimum brightness level can not be identical approx with the minimum brightness level of the handheld image display device that is unsuitable for this minimum (brightness) insertion system.As a result, reduced contrast.
In order for example to guarantee by the problem that solves motion blur and be unsuitable for minimum (brightness) thereby the maximum brightness level of general traditional handheld image display device of the insertion system quality of identical improvement moving image approx that the open No.2001-296841 of Japan's special permission has proposed following method for displaying image with claim 27 to 41.In the example 7 of the open No.2001-296841 of Japan special permission, describe in detail a kind of for driving this display device and the ad hoc approach of the picture signal of certain gray level being provided.This with the open No.2001-296841 of Japan special permission all in conjunction with as a reference.
Method for displaying image according to being advised by the open No.2001-296841 of Japan's special permission uses two period of sub-frame, and namely the first period of sub-frame and the second period of sub-frame realize that the image of a frame shows.When the gray level of received image signal is 0% or larger and less than 50% the time, the picture signal of 0% to 100% gray level is provided in the first period of sub-frame, and the picture signal of 0% gray level is provided in the second period of sub-frame.When the gray level of received image signal is 50% or larger and less than 100% the time, the picture signal of 0% to 100% gray level is provided in the first period of sub-frame, and the picture signal of 100% gray level is provided in the second period of sub-frame.
Figure 52 show when an object in the open handheld image display device of the disclosed tradition of No.2001-296841 by Japan special permission during along with a static background horizontal ground motion, along with time of the horizontal line in the screen changes and changes brightness and change.In Figure 52, transverse axis is illustrated in the luminance state on the horizontal direction (position of pixel portion in the horizontal direction) of screen, and the longitudinal axis represents the time.Figure 52 shows with 3 frames and is presented at image on this screen.
In Figure 52, from different among Figure 48, each frame period T101 comprises two period of sub-frame T201 and T202.
This is with for a more detailed description.As shown in Figure 52, for the display part B of this static background, the gray level of received image signal is very low.Therefore, display part B only is in luminance in the first period of sub-frame T201, and is to be in not luminance (0%) in the second period of sub-frame T202.For the display part A of this Moving Objects, the gray level of received image signal is enough high.Therefore, display part A is in luminance in high-high brightness (100%) in the second period of sub-frame T202, and is in luminance with the picture signal of 0% to 100% gray level in 20% brightness in the first period of sub-frame T201.With the numeral of " % " intensity level with respect to the image of 100% maximum display capabilities.For example, be used for the brightness of the numeral 40% of being surrounded by dotted line of B1.
This method for displaying image can guarantee the approximately uniform maximum brightness level of maximum brightness level with the traditional handheld image display device that is unsuitable for minimum (brightness) insertion system, and can improve the quality of moving image, in this moving image, the gray level of received image signal is sufficiently low.
The open No.2001-296841 of Japan special permission discloses the another kind of method of minimizing of the brightness aspect of the handheld image display device that is used for suppressing being suitable for minimum (brightness) insertion system.According to by the open disclosed method of No.2001-296841 of Japan special permission, a frame period comprises a plurality of period of sub-frame, and according to the brightness of received image signal, the brightness of the frame in the frame of back is weakened with the ratio of defined.Therefore, can prevent the motion blur in general traditional handheld image display device, felt truly.Therefore because one brightness as mentioned above in the period of sub-frame of back is weakened and be not 0%, so compare with the traditional handheld image display device that is suitable for minimum (brightness) insertion system shown in 51 with Figure 50, can suppress the minimizing of brightness.
For the image that shows with the object of a static background tangential movement, as long as the gray level of received image signal is enough low, just can provide the effect identical in fact with the traditional handheld image display device that is suitable for minimum (brightness) insertion system shown in Figure 50 and 51 by the open disclosed traditional images display device of No.2001-296841 of Japan's special permission.Yet, when the gray level of received image signal was very high, following problem can appear.
Figure 53 shows by the observer's who notes Moving Objects eyes viewed in the distribution aspect the brightness of the image shown in Figure 52.
As shown in Figure 53, the part of this image is brighter than original image, and another part of this image is darker than original image.As a result, observer's eyes are seen singularly bright and dark part singularly in the front end of Moving Objects or end, and these parts be can't see in still image.This has reduced the quality of moving image.
Thisly see that reason bright and singularly dark part is singularly, the time state of the center of gravity of light period (time-wise) center be when the gray level of received image signal less than 50% and between the gray level of received image signal is more than or equal to 50% than big difference.For example, when the gray level of input signal image less than 50% the time, the time state center of the center of gravity of brightness is the first period of sub-frame T201 in light period, because the picture signal of 0% gray level is provided in the second period of sub-frame T202.When the gray level of received image signal more than or equal to 50% the time, the time state center of the center of gravity of light period (display brightness) is the second period of sub-frame T202, because the picture signal of 100% gray level is provided in the second period of sub-frame T202.For this reason, the value that obtains according to the time integral that changes by the brightness on the direction of motion of this object is at the front end of Moving Objects with terminally seen singularly bright and dark part singularly.
Current, consider gamma (gamma) light characteristic of CRT (cathode-ray tube (CRT)) mainly to produce and exported general picture signal, for example TV broadcast singal, rabbit signal and PC (personal computer) picture signal.For consistent with general picture signal, use the display board of handheld display device usually to have the gamma light characteristic identical in fact with CRT, this handheld display device is such as liquid crystal display and EL display device.
Figure 54 is the curve map of the relation between the gray level of explanation received image signal and the display brightness of display board with this gamma light characteristic.As shown in Figure 54, this relation represents to the curve than low-light level with general recessed.Thus, be appreciated that the point of 50% brightness and the point of 50% gray level do not mate mutually.
Figure 55 shows when realizing such as the demonstration control described in the example 7 of the open No.2001-296841 of Japan special permission with the handheld image display with gamma light characteristic, the gray level of input signal and corresponding to the relation between the time integral brightness of the brightness of being felt by observer's eyes.
In the example 7 of the open No.2001-296841 of Japan special permission, when the gray level of received image signal more than or equal to 50% the time, in two period of sub-frame (the first and second period of sub-frame), provide picture signal.On the contrary, when the gray level of received image signal less than 50% the time, only (only in the first period of sub-frame) provides picture signal in a period of sub-frame.Therefore, have two curves on the point of therein 50% brightness of the heart of luminosity response.Adopt this luminosity response, can not realize the reproducibility between suitable color and the general received image signal.
This image is placed at the luminance among of period of sub-frame of back in each frame period by the open disclosed method of No.2001-296841 of Japan special permission, and therefore compare with the general handheld image display device that is suitable for minimum (brightness) insertion type shown in 51 with Figure 50, can be suppressed at the minimizing of brightness and contrast aspect.Yet this method can't provide a kind of useful effect be used to preventing motion blur.In addition, the contrast that obtains by this method is lower than the contrast of general traditional handheld image display device.

According to device of the present invention, method and program, when the luminance level that is applied to Moving Objects in the first period of sub-frame is luminance level than the luminance level less that is applied to the second period of sub-frame, the background luminance level of then using in the first period of sub-frame is also than the luminance level less that is applied to the second period of sub-frame, and, when the luminance level that is applied to Moving Objects in the first period of sub-frame is during than the relatively large luminance level of the luminance level that is applied to the second period of sub-frame, the background luminance level of then using in the first period of sub-frame is also relatively large than the luminance level that is applied to the second period of sub-frame.Therefore, can suppress reducing of the picture quality that causes owing to motion blur, this reducing is a problem that usually can exist in the hand-held image display device.In addition, can alleviate because the moving image quality that motion blur causes worsens, this deterioration often can occur in common hand-held image display device.Even when maximum gray scale showed, the high-high brightness that minimum (brightness) insertion system of use (adopting this system each frame period to comprise the minimum brightness cycle) produces and contrast reduce can be suppressed.
Below, with the function of the present invention of describing by being provided by the above structure.
According to the present invention, in a frame period, be provided with in the handheld image display device of a plurality of period of sub-frame, control like this gray level of each period of sub-frame, that is: when the minimizing aspect high-high brightness or contrast is suppressed, do not move according to the gray level of received image signal in the time state center of the center of gravity of this display brightness.Therefore, prevented that the quality of moving image is owing to this motion blur is lowered.
For example, in by the situation of in n period of sub-frame (wherein n is equal to or greater than 2 integer), asking image demonstration time integral value and that realize a frame that is displayed on the brightness in the image displaying part, in the period of sub-frame that is in time state center or time of closest approach state center in a frame period, surpass in the scope of corresponding intensity level in the gray level of received image signal, provide maximum or sufficiently high gray level (than the large gray level of the value of defined).When reaching the gray level of received image signal, provide in the period of sub-frame minimum or enough low gray levels (less than the gray level of the value of defined) in residue.
Be to be equal to or greater than in the situation of 3 odd number at n, in the period of sub-frame that is in time state center (m period of sub-frame, wherein m=(n+1)/2), provide maximum or sufficiently high gray level (greater than the gray level of the value of defined).In the period of sub-frame before or after central period of sub-frame, provide the gray level that is increased or reduces according to the gray level of received image signal.Provide in the period of sub-frame minimum or enough low gray levels (less than the gray level of the value of defined) in residue.Whether the gray level according to received image signal is higher than threshold level T, determines to be provided for the gray level of each period of sub-frame.
To be equal to or greater than in the situation of 2 even number at n, at the time state center or period of sub-frame (m1 period of sub-frame and the m2 period of sub-frame at time of closest approach state center, wherein m1=n/2 and m2=n/2+1) in, maximum or sufficiently high gray level (greater than the gray level of the value of defined) is provided.Before central period of sub-frame and in the period of sub-frame afterwards, provide the gray level that is increased or reduces according to the gray level of received image signal.Provide in the period of sub-frame minimum or enough low gray levels (less than the gray level of the value of defined) in residue.Whether the gray level according to received image signal is higher than this threshold level T, determines to be provided for the gray level of each period of sub-frame.
By this control, the time state center of the center of gravity of display brightness is fixed to the period of sub-frame that is positioned at time state center or time of closest approach state center in the frame period.Therefore, for example having suppressed, Japan speciallys permit the technical matters that open No.2001-296841 has, namely uneven according to the gray scale of received image signal in the heart the brightness of change Anomalies Caused or color in the time state of the center of gravity of display brightness, namely reduced the problem of picture quality.Because the display brightness in a frame period has carried out suitably changing, fade so alleviated in general traditional handheld image display device caused because the qualitative of moving image that motion blur causes.Even when realize this demonstration at maximum gray scale, can suppress with minimum (brightness) insertion system (therein, each frame period comprises the brightness cycle of a minimum) occur together in the minimizing aspect high-high brightness and the contrast.
2 at n, one of them period of sub-frame is known as period of sub-frame α, and another period of sub-frame is known as in the situation of period of sub-frame β, in period of sub-frame α, and the gray level that maximum or sufficiently high gray level is provided or is increased or reduces according to the gray level of received image signal.Whether the gray level according to received image signal is higher than this threshold level, determines to be provided at the gray level in the period of sub-frame.
By this control, the motion at the time state center of the center of gravity of brightness can be minimized.Therefore, suppressed the problem that the open No.2001-296841 of Japan's special permission for example possesses skills, namely according to the gray scale of received image signal in the heart the brightness of change Anomalies Caused or the color imbalance problem that namely reduced picture quality in the time state of the center of gravity of display brightness.Because the display brightness in a frame period suitably changes, fade so alleviated the qualitative of moving image that caused because motion blur causes in general traditional handheld image display device.Even when realize this demonstration at maximum gray scale, can suppress with minimum (brightness) insertion system occur in the minimizing aspect high-high brightness and the contrast.
In 2 the situation, based on two two field pictures of being inputted continuously, can be created in a two field picture of time-related intermediateness at n.In this case, whether be higher than this threshold level according to the gray level at the image of intermediateness, can determine to be provided at the gray level among the period of sub-frame β.In this case, by estimating to produce the image of the state that mediates in time.Therefore, the mistake that is caused by the interpolation error that may occur in some pixel portion shows and just is difficult to feel.
In 2 the situation at n, whether can determine to be provided at gray level among the period of sub-frame β greater than a value according to this threshold value, this value is according to asking the gray level of (i) received image signal and (ii) picture signal of input or obtained by the mean value of the gray level of the picture signal of input after the frame before a frame period.
Setting is provided at the upper limit (greatest level) of the gray level in the period of sub-frame, so that for the period of sub-frame that is in time state center or time of closest approach state center, the grade of this upper limit is the highest, and because this period of sub-frame is from the distant minimizing in this center, perhaps so that this upper limit is all identical.By this set, even when the gray scale of received image signal is very high, also can provide wherein brightness very low period of sub-frame.Therefore, even when the gray scale of received image signal is very high, the deterioration that also can alleviate (such as what cause in traditional handheld image display device) the moving image quality aspect that is caused by motion blur.When n=2, the upper limit that can be provided at the gray level among of this period of sub-frame is set to be equal to or higher than the upper limit that is provided at the gray level in another period of sub-frame.
Setting is provided at gray level and the threshold level in this period of sub-frame, so that the relation between the gray level of received image signal and the time integral brightness represents a kind of gamma light characteristic.Therefore, can alleviate the deterioration of (such as what cause in traditional handheld image display device) the moving image quality aspect that is caused by motion blur, the picture signal that guarantees simultaneously to produce with the gamma light characteristic of considering CRT is in the consistance aspect the gradation reproducibility.

Near display board 10, temperature sensor IC20 is provided, for detection of near the temperature display board 10 or the display board 10, and be used for exporting this temperature with the temperature levels signal.The frame memory 30 that is used for keeping received image signal also is provided near display board 10.Controller LSI10 also is provided near display board 10, be used for to source electrode driver 13a to 13d and gate drivers 14a to the 14d output signal, be used for access frame memory 30 and store therein data, and be used for reading the temperature levels signal from temperature sensor IC20 output, and according to this temperature correction and control brightness.
Explanation is used the basic display method of the image display device 1 with this structure.
Controller LSI40 sequentially sends picture signal corresponding to the pixel portion of a horizontal line with clock signal synchronization ground to the first source electrode driver 13a.Because the first to the 4th source electrode driver 13a is connected as shown in fig. 1 to 13d, remained on provisionally the first to the 4th source electrode driver 13a corresponding to the picture signal of the pixel portion of a horizontal line in 13d by the clock signal pulse corresponding to the pixel portion of this horizontal line.When controller LSI40 when being in the first to the 4th source electrode driver 13a under this state to 13d output locking pulse signal, each in the 13d of the first to the 4th source electrode driver 13a is to corresponding to the source voltage line output of the pixel portion of this horizontal line demonstration voltage level corresponding to the picture signal of corresponding pixel portion.
Controller LSI40 also the to first to the 4th gate drivers 14a to 14d output enable signal (enable signal), enabling pulse (start pulse) signal and the vertical shift clock signal as control signal.When enable signal was the LOW level, the grid voltage line was in the OFF state.When start dialing signal by in the input of the rising edge of vertical shift clock signal, and enable signal is when being set to the HIGH level, the primary grid voltage line of corresponding gate drivers is set to the ON state.When start dialing signal is not when the rising edge of vertical shift clock signal is transfused to, the grid voltage line that and then is set to the grid voltage line of ON state in the back to back previous moment is set to the ON state.
By a grid voltage line is set to the ON state, to the demonstration voltage of source voltage line output corresponding to the pixel portion of a horizontal line, the TFT12b that is connected in this grid voltage line (corresponding to the pixel portion of a horizontal line) is set to the ON state simultaneously.In this way, electric power (demonstration voltage) is provided for each the pixel electrode 12a corresponding to the pixel of a horizontal line from corresponding source voltage line.Therefore, change has occured in the state of corresponding display element 11a, and carries out image shows.For each horizontal line repeats this demonstration control, thus and carries out image demonstration on whole display screen.

The below will illustrate how to confirm is to which period of sub-frame among the first period of sub-frame and the second period of sub-frame distribution period of sub-frame α and the period of sub-frame β.
In example 1, display board 10 uses the liquid crystal material of the high temperature correlativity with response speed as display element.
Fig. 2 is that controller LSI 40 in the example 1 is (as display control section; Shown in Figure 1) the calcspar of structure.In example 1, represent controller LSI 40 with reference number 40A.
As shown in Figure 2, controller LSI 40A comprises line buffer 41 (row data memory portion), timing controller 42 (timing controlled part), frame memory data selector 43 (frame memory data selection part), the first gradation conversion circuit 44 (the first gradation conversion part), the second gradation conversion circuit 45 (the second gradation conversion part) and output data selector 46 (output data selection part).
Line buffer 41 receives received image signal line by line, and the picture signal of interim storage input.Line buffer 41 comprises receiving port and the transmit port that is independent of each other, and therefore can receive simultaneously and transmitted signal.
Timing controller 42 control frame memory data selector switchs 43, so as alternately to select to the data transmission of frame memory 30 and from frame memory 30 read data.Timing controller 42 is also controlled output data selector 46, in order to alternately select the data output from the first gradation conversion circuit 44, or exports from the data of the second gradation conversion circuit 45.That is, describe in detail as following, timing controller 42 is that output data selector 46 is selected the first period of sub-frame or the second period of sub-frame.
By timing controller 42 control frame memory data selector switchs 43, in order to alternately select data transmission or data to read.In data transmission, 43 1 horizontal line of frame memory data selector connect a horizontal line ground and transmit the received image signal that is stored in the line buffer 41 to frame memory 30.In data read, frame memory data selector 43 read line by line the previous frame period and reads and be stored in received image signal in the frame memory 30, and with the data transmission that reads to the second gradation conversion circuit 45.
The grey level transition of the received image signal that the first gradation conversion circuit 44 will provide from line buffer 41 becomes maximum gray scale, or the gray level that increases or reduce according to the gray level of received image signal.
The grey level transition of the picture signal that the second gradation conversion circuit 45 will provide from frame data selector switch 43 becomes the minimal gray level, or the gray level that increases or reduce according to the gray level of received image signal.
The first gradation conversion circuit 44 and the second gradation conversion circuit 45 have the function that changes conversion value according to the temperature levels signal from temperature sensor IC 20 outputs.In example 1, the first gradation conversion circuit 44 comprises the look-up table that stores the output valve corresponding with input value with the second gradation conversion circuit 45.Alternately, can calculate output valve by counting circuit.
Output data selector 46 is by timing controller 42 control, so that alternately a horizontal line connects a horizontal line ground and selects from the picture signal of the first gradation conversion circuit 44 outputs, or from the picture signal of the second gradation conversion circuit 45 outputs.Output data selector 46 with selected picture signal as the panel image signal output.
The below will comprise the operation of the image display device of the controller LSI 40A with said structure in the case illustrated 1.

In input in the frame that illustrates and the horizontal line.
In operation, represent such as arrow D1 among Fig. 3, at first receive received image signal by line buffer 41.
Then, D2 represents such as arrow, when receiving a horizontal line of picture signal, this picture signal is write frame memory 30 by frame memory data selector 43 from line buffer 41, and is sent to the first gradation conversion circuit 44 from line buffer 41.Picture signal after the first gradation conversion circuit 44 will be changed is as the panel image signal output.
As represented by arrow D3, horizontal line connects a horizontal line ground, with the picture signal that is written into frame memory 30 ground that alternates, picture signal with horizontal line, that is, with the half frame cycle before the horizontal line of the picture signal that is written into, from frame memory 30, read.Change the picture signal that reads by the second gradation conversion circuit 44 by frame memory data selector 43, and as the panel image signal output.
A horizontal line of panel picture signal is exported from controller LSI 40A, and is sent to the first to the 4th source electrode driver 13a to 13d by a clock signal.Then, when the locking pulse signal is provided, corresponding to the demonstration voltage of the display brightness of each pixel portion by from corresponding source voltage line output.In this, when needed, vertical shift clock signal or grid start dialing signal are provided for the gate drivers corresponding to horizontal line, will on the source voltage line of described gate drivers, provide electric power (demonstration voltage) so that carries out image shows.Therefore, the sweep signal on the corresponding grid voltage line is placed in the ON state.For the gate drivers that is not used to the image demonstration, enable signal is placed in the LOW level, and the sweep signal of therefore corresponding grid voltage line is placed in the OFF state.
In the example shown in Fig. 3, as being represented that by arrow D4 the M of the picture signal of (N-1) frame capable (horizontal line) is sent to source electrode driver.Then, D5 represents such as arrow, is placed in the HIGH level from the enable signal of controller LSI 40A to the three gate drivers 14c.Represent that such as arrow D6 and D7 start dialing signal and vertical shift clock signal are provided on the 3rd gate drivers 14c.As a result, D8 represents such as arrow, and the TFT 12b (with regard to display position, capable corresponding to the M on the screen) that is connected in the primary grid voltage line of the 3rd gate drivers 14c is placed in the ON state.Thereby carries out image shows.In this, the enable signal of first, second on display position and the 4th gate drivers 14a, 14b and 14d is not set to the LOW level, and the TFT 12b that is connected in first, second and the 4th gate drivers 14a, 14b and 14d is in the OFF state.
Next, shown in arrow D9, the first row of the picture signal of N frame (horizontal line) is sent to source electrode driver.Then, D10 represents such as arrow, and the enable signal from controller LSI 40A to first grid driver 14a is set to the HIGH level.Represent that such as arrow D10 and D11 start dialing signal and vertical shift clock signal are provided for first grid driver 14a.As a result, shown in arrow D13, the TFT12b (with regard to display position, corresponding to the first row on the screen) that is connected in the primary grid voltage line of first grid driver 14a is set to the ON state.Thereby carries out image shows.In this, the second to the 4th gate drivers 14b, the 14c on display position and the enable signal of 14d are not set to the LOW level, and the TFT12b that is connected in the second to the 4th gate drivers 14b, 14c and 14d is in the OFF state.
Fig. 4 shows and how to control by repeating the demonstration shown in Fig. 3, rewrites the picture signal on the screen.Especially, how Fig. 4 shows in the time durations that the picture signal at N frame and (N+1) frame is transfused to and rewrites picture signal.
In Fig. 4, the upright position that a horizontal line of oblique arrow presentation video signal is rewritten and timing.Ci[f] represent to show the picture signal of f frame with the picture signal that conversion was obtained by I gradation conversion circuit (first gradation conversion circuit 44 or second gradation conversion circuit 45) execution.Image display information is retained, until be rewritten with the picture signal of delegation.In Fig. 4, the position that white region representation is such, the image display information that the conversion of being carried out by the first gradation conversion circuit 44 in this position obtains is retained, and the shadow region represents such position, and the image display information that the conversion of being carried out by the second gradation conversion circuit 45 in this position obtains is retained.Dotted line represents that driven the first to the 4th driver 14a is to the boundary line of 14d.
Note the upright position of a horizontal line on the screen, be understood that during half frame in, show with the picture signal carries out image that conversion was obtained of being undertaken by the first gradation conversion circuit 44; And in during the lower half frame of this frame, show with the picture signal carries out image that conversion was obtained of being undertaken by the second gradation conversion circuit 45; First half frame of this frame is called as the first period of sub-frame, and second half frame of this frame is called as the second period of sub-frame.
Response speed characteristic by the brightness transition of employed display board is determined period of sub-frame α is distributed to the first period of sub-frame or the second period of sub-frame, and is that period of sub-frame β is distributed to the first period of sub-frame or the second period of sub-frame.
In the situation of the display board that uses in example 1, the response speed of the brightness transition from the minimum brightness level to the maximum brightness level is low (that is, long to the response time of this brightness transition), and this response can not be finished in a period of sub-frame.On the contrary, the response speed of the brightness transition from the maximum brightness level to the minimum brightness level is high, and this luminosity response can be finished in a period of sub-frame basically.
Use this display board, when the gray level of received image signal changed as shown in Figure 5 like that, period of sub-frame α was assigned to the first period of sub-frame, and period of sub-frame β is assigned to the second period of sub-frame.The brightness that Fig. 6 shows in this case changes.
In Fig. 6, D37-1 represents such as arrow, and when the level of received image signal significantly rose, gray level changed in the first period of sub-frame sharp.As mentioned above, for employed display board in the example 1, the response speed of the brightness transition from the minimum brightness level to the maximum brightness level is low, and therefore luminosity response can not be finished in a period of sub-frame.Therefore, in the ending of the first period of sub-frame that is represented by arrow D37-2, luminosity response is not finished fully.As a result, the state of brightness change changes not identical with the brightness of the back to back subsequent frame of the gray level with identical received image signal.This has caused following inconvenience in the image of reality: produced false profile at the edge of mobile object; Perhaps in the situation of color monitor, destroy the color balance between the different colours, and unusual color occurred.
Then, in the situation that the gray level of input picture changes as shown in Figure 5, period of sub-frame α is assigned to the second period of sub-frame, and period of sub-frame β is assigned to the first period of sub-frame.The display brightness that Fig. 7 shows in this case changes.
In Fig. 7, D38-1 represents such as arrow, and when the voltage of received image signal significantly descended, gray level changed in the first period of sub-frame sharp.As mentioned above, for employed display board in the example 1, the response speed of the brightness transition from the minimum brightness level to the maximum brightness level is high, and has therefore basically finished luminosity response in a period of sub-frame.Therefore, in the ending of the first period of sub-frame that is represented by arrow D38-2, finished fully luminosity response.As a result, the state of brightness change is identical with the state that the brightness of the back to back subsequent frame of the gray level with identical received image signal changes.Therefore, can not appear at the inconvenience that the edge of mobile object produces false profile, or in the situation of color monitor, the color balance between different color can be not destroyed, and abnormal color can not occur.For this reason, in example 1, period of sub-frame α is assigned to the second period of sub-frame, and period of sub-frame β is assigned to the first period of sub-frame.
Explanation is used the method for displaying image of the image display device execution in the example 1.
In example 1, as mentioned above, the second period of sub-frame is called as the α period of sub-frame.In the α period of sub-frame, changed by 44 pairs of received image signals of the first grey level transition circuit, thereby when the gray level of received image signal is equal to or less than a well-determined threshold level, the picture signal of the gray level that provides gray level according to received image signal to increase or reduce, and when the gray level of received image signal during greater than this threshold level, provide the picture signal of maximum gray scale.
The first period of sub-frame is called as the β period of sub-frame as mentioned above.In period of sub-frame β, changed by 45 pairs of received image signals of the second grey level transition circuit, thereby when the gray level of received image signal is equal to or less than well-determined threshold level, the picture signal of minimal gray level is provided, and when the gray level of received image signal during greater than this threshold level, provide gray level according to received image signal to increase or the picture signal of the gray level that reduces.
The intensity level of the desired value that is used for the first period of sub-frame and the second period of sub-frame will be described herein.
Fig. 8 has provided the target brightness levels in the example 1.
In Fig. 8, left part shows the intensity level that is assumed to be for received image signal.Center section shows the interior display brightness of each period of sub-frame in the first period of sub-frame and the second period of sub-frame.Right part shows the interior time integral brightness of two period of sub-frame in a frame period.This value be considered to beholder's eyes actual perceived to brightness be complementary.The probable value of the maximum that herein, can obtain by the time integral to the brightness of display board 10 is set to 100%.Fig. 8 shows and has considered 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% gamma light characteristic, is assumed to be the intensity level for received image signal.
In Fig. 8, the intensity level that is assumed to be for the received image signal of 1/2 (50%) high-high brightness is set to the threshold level, and it is the reference of the intensity level of the picture signal that provides in each period of sub-frame.When the intensity level that is used for received image signal of hypothesis be high-high brightness 1/2 (50%) or more hour, the brightness in the second period of sub-frame is by with following expression.
Brightness for received image signal of brightness in the second period of sub-frame=be assumed to be * 2 (ratio of appointment, that is, and multiple value: 2).
Therefore, the brightness in the second period of sub-frame increases or reduces according to being assumed to be brightness for received image signal.For example, when the brightness that is used for received image signal when hypothesis was 25%, then the brightness in the second period of sub-frame was 25% * 2=50%.
The brightness that is used for received image signal when hypothesis greater than high-high brightness 1/2 (50%) time, the brightness in the second period of sub-frame is high-high brightness (100%).
The brightness that is used for received image signal when hypothesis be high-high brightness 1/2 (50%) or more hour, the brightness in the first period of sub-frame is minimum brightness (0%).
The brightness that is used for received image signal when hypothesis greater than high-high brightness 1/2 (50%) time, the brightness in the first period of sub-frame is expressed as following form.
Brightness * 2-1 for received image signal of brightness in the first period of sub-frame=suppose (ratio of appointment, that is, and multiple value: 2).
Therefore, the brightness in the first period of sub-frame is increased or decreased according to the brightness that hypothesis is used for received image signal.For example, when the brightness that is used for received image signal when hypothesis was 75% (3/4), the brightness in the first period of sub-frame was (3/4) 2-1=50%.
As mentioned above, according to the intensity level of setting, by the first gradation conversion circuit 44 (in the first period of sub-frame) and by the second gradation conversion circuit 45 (in the second period of sub-frame) gray level of received image signal is changed, and the value after the conversion is exported in the first period of sub-frame and the second period of sub-frame respectively.By this way, the gray scale of display brightness center does not in time rely on the gray level of received image signal, and is fixed to the second period of sub-frame.Therefore, for example can suppress the technical matters by the decline of unusual brightness or the uneven picture quality that produces of color among the open No.2001-296841 of Japan's special permission.
Current general picture signal, for example, TV broadcast singal, video dubbing signal and PC (personal computer) picture signal are to have considered the gamma light characteristic of CRT (cathode-ray tube (CRT)) and be produced and export mostly.In this case, the gray level of image display signal and hypothesis do not have linear relationship for the display brightness of this gray level.Therefore, for with display device, realize that such as liquid crystal indicator and EL display device correct gray scale represents that source electrode driver generally includes a circuit, this circuit has the gamma light characteristic substantially the same with the gamma light characteristic of CRT, is used for picture signal is converted to source voltage.
In example 1, the display brightness that the gray level of received image signal and hypothesis are used for this gray level has following relation.
Display brightness=(gray level/maximum gray scale of received image signal) γ(γ=2.2)
Expression formula (1)
(wherein the maximal value of display brightness is " 1 ", and the minimum value of display brightness is " 0 ").
In example 1, the source electrode driver 13a of display board 10 is designed to have the gamma light characteristic identical with expression formula (1) to 13d.Do like this, thereby when a frame of received image signal is copied within a frame period simply, for example, in the handset kind display device of common routine, the relation that the gray level of received image signal and hypothesis are used between the display brightness of this gray level can be replicated.In this case, the gray level of received image signal and hypothesis have the relation shown in Figure 54 for the display brightness of this gray level.
Even in the situation of the frame that carries out image shows in two period of sub-frame in such as example 1, gray level and the hypothesis that can copy received image signal also are preferable for the relation between the display brightness of this gray level.
In order to achieve this end, in example 1, (a) is set as the threshold level of the reference of the gray level of the picture signal in each period of sub-frame, (b) increased according to the gray level of received image signal or reduce after the gray level of the picture signal that in each period of sub-frame, provides, thereby the relation between the time integral value of the brightness in the gray level of received image signal and frame period presents correct gamma light characteristic.
In example 1, provide a right of priority in order to suppress reducing of brightness, rather than solve the motion blur problems of all gray levels.When the gray level of received image signal when being maximum, with possible the brightness carries out image demonstration of the maximum of display board 10.
In this case, the gray level that provides in the gray level that provides in the gray level of received image signal and the first period of sub-frame and the second period of sub-frame has following relation.
(gray level/maximum gray scale of received image signal) γ={ (gray level/maximum gray scale that in the first period of sub-frame, provides) γ+ (gray level/maximum gray scale that in the second period of sub-frame, provides) γ}/2
(γ=2,2)
Expression formula (2)
Relation between the gray level that provides in the gray level that provides in the gray level of the received image signal that satisfies expression formula (2) and the first period of sub-frame and the second period of sub-frame is provided Fig. 9.
In Fig. 9, left part shows the gray level of received image signal.Center section shows after the gray level of received image signal having been carried out conversion, the gray level that provides in each period of sub-frame in the first period of sub-frame and the second period of sub-frame.Right part shows the time integral value of the interior brightness of two interior period of sub-frame of a frame period.Fig. 9 shows 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% brightness time integral value.
As shown in Figure 9, suppose the brightness for the received image signal of 1/2 (50%) high-high brightness, that is, 72.97% of the gray level of received image signal is set to the threshold level, and it is the reference for the gray level of the picture signal that provides in each period of sub-frame.When the gray level of received image signal is 72.97% or more hour, the gray level of the picture signal that provides in the second period of sub-frame is used for this received image signal according to hypothesis brightness increases or reduces, in order to satisfy expression formula (2).The gray level of the picture signal that provides in the first period of sub-frame is minimum (0%).
When the gray level of received image signal greater than 72.97% the time, the gray level of the picture signal that provides in the second period of sub-frame is maximum (100%).The gray level of the picture signal that provides in the first period of sub-frame is used for the brightness increase of this received image signal or is reduced according to hypothesis, in order to satisfy expression formula (2).
As be stored in the line buffer 41 temporarily, and output is from line buffer 41, and in controller LSI 40A, by the result of the first gradation conversion circuit 44 to its received image signal of changing, obtain the gray level of the picture signal in the first period of sub-frame, provide.As be stored in the frame memory 30 temporarily, and output is from frame memory 30, and in controller LSI 40A, by the result of the second gradation conversion circuit 45 to its received image signal of changing, obtain the gray level of the picture signal in the second period of sub-frame, provide.
When the gray level after the conversion shown in the middle part that Fig. 9 is provided, in the first and second period of sub-frame, with according to display board 10 source electrode driver was had, and by the gamma light characteristic of the expression formula shown in Figure 54 (1) expression, carries out image shows.
As a result, the first period of sub-frame in the frame period shown in Fig. 9 right part and the viewed person's of time integral brightness in the second period of sub-frame eyes perceive as brightness.This time integral brightness has copied by expression formula (1) expression, and the gamma light characteristic that is assumed to be for received image signal shown in Figure 54.Should be appreciated that by the image display device in the example 1 and method for displaying image and copied correct gamma light characteristic.
In order to use image display device and the method in the example 1, demonstration is with the static background image of mobile object in the horizontal direction, when the gray level of received image signal is enough hanged down, in the second period of sub-frame, provide the image of minimal gray level for the display part of the display part of static background and mobile object.Therefore, as in the situation of the image display device that adopts minimum (brightness) insertion system shown in Figure 50 and 51, alleviated mobile fuzzy, thereby improved the quality of moving images.
In the following description, take static background with high brightness more and mobile, have height as 72.97% or the image of the object of higher gray level (50% or higher display brightness) be imported into the image display device of the handset kind of common routine, and also be input to the image display device in the example 1.
Figure 56 shows when above-mentioned image is imported into normal conventional handset kind image display device, the brightness that changes according to time of a horizontal line on the screen.In Figure 56, similar with Figure 48, each frame period T101 is one fully photoperiod T102.The first period of sub-frame neither is provided, the second period of sub-frame is not provided yet.Figure 57 shows the distribution of the brightness of the image shown in Figure 56 that the beholder's who is noting mobile object eyes watch.
Figure 58 shows when above-mentioned image is imported in the image display device in the example 1, the brightness that changes according to time of a horizontal line on the screen.
As shown in Figure 58, each frame period T101 comprises two period of sub-frame T201 (the first period of sub-frame) and T202 (the second period of sub-frame).Because the gray level of the gray level of mobile object and static background all is higher than 72.97%, second period of sub-frame (A2) of mobile object and second period of sub-frame (B2) of static background are shown with high-high brightness.First period of sub-frame (A1) of mobile object and first period of sub-frame (B1) of static background are shown with different intensity levels.Figure 59 shows the distribution of the brightness of the image shown in the Figure 58 that is watched by the beholder's who is noting mobile object eyes.Should be appreciated that with the situation of the display device (Figure 57) of normal conventional handset kind and compare that mobile fuzzy has been alleviated.As will be appreciated, in example 1, maximum (brightness) insertion method provides improvement with the different principle of operation of principle of operation with minimum (brightness) insertion system.
Figure 10 shows when object flatly moves in the image display device in example 1 with static background, changes according to the brightness of time of a horizontal line on the screen.In the example 7 of the open publication number 2001-296841 of Japan's special permission, the movement (Figure 52 and 53) of object with the static background level has been described.
In Figure 10, transverse axis represents the luminance state (pixel portion position in the horizontal direction) on the horizontal direction of screen, and Z-axis represents the time.Figure 10 has provided the image that is presented on the screen in 3 frames.
In Figure 10, each frame period T101 comprises two period of sub-frame T201 (the first period of sub-frame) and T202 (the second period of sub-frame).For the display part B of static background, the gray level of received image signal is low.Therefore, in the first period of sub-frame T201, when 0% minimum brightness, display part B is in without light state.In the second period of sub-frame T202, display part B increases with the gray level according to received image signal when 40% brightness or the picture signal of the gray level that reduces is in light state is arranged.
For the display part A of mobile object, the gray level of received image signal is higher than the threshold value of regulation.Therefore, in the first period of sub-frame T201, display part A increases with the gray level according to received image signal with 20% brightness or the image of the gray level that reduces is in light state is arranged.In the second period of sub-frame T202, display part A is in 100% high-high brightness light state.With the numeral of " % " gradation of image with respect to 100% maximum display capabilities.For example, for the brightness by the circumjacent numeral 0% of dotted line of B1.
Figure 11 shows the distribution of the brightness of the image shown in Figure 10 that the beholder's who is noting mobile object eyes watch.
Figure 11 is illustrated between the left end and right-hand member of the mobile object that is represented by broken circle, and the shape of the line that expression brightness changes is different.Yet, the shortcoming shown in Figure 53, that is, the part that existence and original image are brighter or darker has been alleviated.
Below, with the temperature correction function of the image display device in the case illustrated 1.
Image display device in the example 1 uses liquid crystal cell as the display element of display board 10.The response speed that generally is well known that liquid crystal material is lower when lower temperature, and is higher when higher temperature.Under certain temperature conditions, the response speed of the raising transmittance that changes with respect to gray level may be different from the response speed that reduces transmittance that changes with respect to gray level.The difference of this response speed according to temperature, and which response speed (that is, increasing or reduce the response speed of transmittance) is higher, depends on the use state of liquid crystal material.
In the situation of the liquid crystal material that uses in example 1, when temperature was high, the response speed that increases transmittance was identical with the response speed that reduces transmittance basically, and when temperature reduces, reduces the response speed step-down of transmittance.With this liquid crystal material, even be provided for the time integral brightness of using two period of sub-frame when carrying out the image display device that a two field picture shows when the same gray level of picture signal, under some temperature conditions, brightness also can be different.
When the gray level that Figure 12 shows in being provided for example 1 picture signal of the display board 10 that uses is not regulated according to temperature conditions, according to the difference of the brightness of temperature conditions.Left part shows the response speed of liquid crystal material when high temperature, and right part shows liquid crystal material response speed at low temperatures.Thick line represents gray level.In high temperature and low temperature situation, the same gray level of received image signal.The shadow region represents the brightness that the response speed according to liquid crystal material changes.
As mentioned above, in the situation of the liquid crystal material that in example 1, uses, when temperature reduces, reduce the response speed decline (that is, brightness descends) of transmittance.Therefore, under the low temperature condition shown in Figure 12 right part, and compare under the high-temperature condition shown in the left part of Figure 12, brightness is not reduced fully in the first period of sub-frame.As a result, the brightness of time integral has increased.Therefore, even the identical gray level of received image signal is provided under high temperature and low temperature condition, the brightness that beholder's eyes perceive also is different.For image display device, depend on temperature conditions, the brightness that beholder's eyes perceive is not both worthless.In order to address this problem, the image display device in the example 1 has temperature correction function as described below.
Be imported into the first gradation conversion circuit 44 and the second gradation conversion circuit 45 from the temperature levels signal that is provided near temperature sensor IC 20 outputs the display board 10.As mentioned above, the first gradation conversion circuit 44 and the second gradation conversion circuit 45 comprise look-up table.More specifically, each in the first gradation conversion circuit 44 and the second gradation conversion circuit 45 comprises a plurality of look-up tables, and according to the look-up table that is used for gradation conversion from the temperature levels signal conversion of temperature sensor IC20.
Figure 13 shows when the gray level of the picture signal that is provided for example 1 employed display board 10 is adjusted according to temperature conditions, according to the difference of the brightness of temperature conditions.Left part shows the response speed of liquid crystal material under the high temperature, and right part shows the response speed of liquid crystal under the low temperature.Thick line represents gray level.The shadow region represents the brightness that the response according to liquid crystal material changes.
Because temperature correction function described above, under the low temperature shown in the right part of Figure 13, and to compare under the high temperature shown in the left part of Figure 13, the lower gray level of picture signal is transfused to.Therefore, so that equated with brightness change under the high-temperature condition in brightness change that the delay of the response speed under the low temperature condition produces by liquid crystal material.By this way, with respect to the same gray level of picture signal, the brightness that is perceived by beholder's eyes can be held, and no matter what kind of temperature conditions is.
As mentioned above, according to example 1 of the present invention, when showing the object that moves with static background, alleviated mobile fuzzy, simultaneously only with the maximal value of time integral brightness, be that the brightness that beholder's eyes perceive has reduced 25%, and can not produce and compare brighter or darker singularly part with original image.Therefore, can improve the quality of the moving images of handset kind image display device.In addition, can represent to show image with the gray scale with the gamma light characteristic that is suitable for received image signal.Even when display board 10 uses liquid crystal material, also can keep the relation between the brightness that the gray level of received image signal and beholder's eyes perceive, no matter and what kind of temperature conditions is.
(example 2)
In example 2 of the present invention, by in first subframe and the second period of sub-frame in each frame period, to the time integral value summation of brightness, carry out the demonstration of a two field picture.Image display device in the example 2 comprises display control section, is used in two period of sub-frame the image displaying part carries out image being shown control.
One in described two period of sub-frame is called as period of sub-frame α, and another period of sub-frame is called as period of sub-frame β.Define threshold level T1 and the T2 of the gray level in described two period of sub-frame.Threshold level T2 is greater than threshold level T1.
When the gray level of received image signal is equal to or less than threshold level T1, increase or the picture signal of the gray level that reduces is offered the image displaying part of image display device in period of sub-frame α according to the gray level of received image signal, and the picture signal of minimal gray level is offered image displaying part at period of sub-frame β.
When the gray level of received image signal greater than threshold level T1 and when being equal to or less than threshold level T2, increase or the picture signal of the gray level that reduces is offered the image displaying part of image display device in period of sub-frame α according to the gray level of received image signal, and increase or reduce according to the gray level of received image signal, and the picture signal that the gray level of the gray level that provides in the period of sub-frame α is provided is offered image displaying part at period of sub-frame β.
When the gray level of received image signal during greater than threshold level T2, the picture signal of maximum gray scale is offered image displaying part at period of sub-frame α, and increases or the picture signal of the gray level that reduces is offered image displaying part at period of sub-frame β according to the gray level of received image signal.
For example, supposed that the brightness that is used for received image signal is changed as shown in figure 14 gradually.Figure 15 shows when the object with the brightness shown in Figure 14 flatly moves in the image display device of static background in example 1, changes according to the brightness of the time on the horizontal line on the screen.In example 1, the brightness in the first period of sub-frame (T201) is fixed to 0%, reaches 50% until hypothesis is used for the brightness of received image signal.The brightness that is used for received image signal when hypothesis surpasses after 50%, and the brightness in the first period of sub-frame increases according to the brightness that hypothesis is used for received image signal.Brightness in the second period of sub-frame (T202) increases according to the brightness that hypothesis is used for received image signal, reaches 50% until hypothesis is used for the brightness of received image signal.The brightness that is used for received image signal in hypothesis surpasses after 50%, and the brightness in the second period of sub-frame is fixed to 100%.
Figure 16 shows the distribution of the brightness aspect of the image shown in the Figure 15 that is observed by the observer's who notes Moving Objects eyes.
As shown in Figure 16, discontinuous (the with dashed lines circle is represented) to appear at should be during level and smooth brightness changes.This discontinuous eyes that perhaps can the observed person are regarded profile of unusual part such as falseness etc. as.
In example 2, in order to suppress this trouble, with from example 1 in different mode realize intensity profile in the first and second period of sub-frame.Figure 17 has illustrated the target brightness levels in the example 2.
In example 2, threshold level T1 is defined as works as the gray level of the brightness of supposing when being 25%, and threshold level T2 is defined as works as the gray level of the brightness of supposing when being 75%.When being assumed to be that brightness for received image signal is equal to or less than threshold level T1 (25%), in the first period of sub-frame (period of sub-frame β), realize that in minimum brightness level 0% image shows, and in the second period of sub-frame (period of sub-frame α), realize that in the intensity level that is increased according to the gray level of received image signal or reduces image shows.
When being assumed to be brightness for received image signal greater than threshold level T1 (25%) and being equal to or less than threshold level T2 (75%), intensity level 0% to 50% in the first period of sub-frame (period of sub-frame β) realizes that image shows, and the intensity level 50% to 100% realizes that image shows in the second period of sub-frame (period of sub-frame α).Determine intensity level among the period of sub-frame β and the intensity level among the period of sub-frame α according to the gray level of received image signal, and the difference between the intensity level of period of sub-frame β and period of sub-frame α is maintained 50%.About the relation between period of sub-frame β and the period of sub-frame α, can fix its intensity level, poor between the gray level that provides can be provided, the ratio of the gray level that provides perhaps can be provided.Can with the intensity level of certain functions specify period of sub-frame β and period of sub-frame α or be provided at period of sub-frame α and period of sub-frame β in gray level.
When being assumed to be that brightness for received image signal is greater than threshold level T2 (75%), in the first period of sub-frame (period of sub-frame β), realize that in the intensity level that is increased according to the gray level of received image signal or reduces image shows, and in the second period of sub-frame (period of sub-frame α), realize that in maximum brightness level 100% image shows.
In example 1, when being assumed to be that brightness for received image signal is to be equal to or greater than 25% and less than 75% the time, each the target display brightness level that is used for the first period of sub-frame and the second period of sub-frame is little by little increased to the first period of sub-frame from the second period of sub-frame.On the contrary, in example 2, the target display brightness all has been increased in the second period of sub-frame and the first period of sub-frame.When being assumed to be for the brightness of received image signal less than 25 or when being equal to, or greater than 75%, example 2 with example 1 in identical mode work.
As mentioned above, Figure 17 has illustrated the target brightness levels in the example 2.Figure 17 is compared with Fig. 8 of target brightness levels during example 1 has been described, be appreciated that and work as, for example, be assumed to be that the display brightness level in the first period of sub-frame and the second period of sub-frame was different when brightness for received image signal was 50% between example 1 and example 2.In example 1, the target display brightness is added to 100% in the second period of sub-frame, and then increases since 0% in the first period of sub-frame.On the contrary, in example 2, the target display brightness is added to 100% and be added to 50% from 0% the first period of sub-frame from 50% in the second period of sub-frame.
Next, will describe when being assumed to be that brightness for received image signal is equal to or greater than 25% and be provided at the gray level of each period of sub-frame less than 75% the time in order to keep above-described target display brightness.
In example 2, with the same in the example 1, display board has a kind of gamma light characteristic.Received image signal also has the gamma light characteristic of a kind of CRT of considering.For the difference between the intensity level of the intensity level of the first period of sub-frame and the second period of sub-frame is maintained 50%, the relation between the gray level of the gray level of the first period of sub-frame and the second period of sub-frame can be expressed as follows.
(gray level/maximum gray scale of the second period of sub-frame) γ-(gray level/maximum gray scale of the first period of sub-frame) γ=0.5 (γ=2.2) expression formulas (3)
Identical about the relation of the gray level of received image signal and the expression formula (2) described in the example 1.Based on these expression formulas, Figure 18 show received image signal gray level, be provided at the relation between the brightness that gray level in the first period of sub-frame and the second period of sub-frame and time integral brightness namely felt by observer's eyes.In example 1, Fig. 9 illustrated received image signal gray level, be provided at the relation between the brightness that gray level in the first period of sub-frame and the second period of sub-frame and time integral brightness namely felt by observer's eyes.Relatively Figure 18 and Fig. 9, when time integral brightness in example 2 be in example 1 50% the time, be provided at the gray level in the first period of sub-frame and the difference that is provided between the gray level in the second period of sub-frame smaller.
Figure 19 show when an object with the brightness that changes gradually as shown in Figure 14 during along with the static background horizontal ground motion in the image display device in the example 2 brightness according to time of a horizontal line in the screen change.40%) and the part B3 (brightness that is assumed to be: 60%) notes the part B2 (brightness that is assumed to be:, be appreciated that, different among Figure 15 (example 1), the difference between the brightness among the first period of sub-frame T201 and the second period of sub-frame T292 is 50%.
Figure 20 shows the distribution of the brightness aspect of the image shown in the Figure 19 that is observed by the observer's who notes Moving Objects eyes.Be appreciated that discontinuous disappearance the (the with dashed lines circle is represented in such as Figure 20) aspect brightness changes (the with dashed lines circle is represented in such as Figure 16).
As mentioned above, except the effect that example 1 provides, even example 2 of the present invention provides when an object horizontal ground motion that has as shown in Figure 14 the brightness that little by little a changes when static background is shown simultaneously, also can avoid the observer to see the effect of the discontinuous phenomenon aspect the brightness change.
(example 3)
In example 3 of the present invention, by seeking time integrated luminosity value during the first and second period of sub-frame and, realize that the image of a frame shows.In example 3, image display device comprises display control section, and it is used for realizing that an image displaying part image shows control in two period of sub-frame in a frame period.
One in two period of sub-frame is known as period of sub-frame α, and another period of sub-frame is known as period of sub-frame β.Be defined in threshold level T1 and the T2 of two gray levels in the period of sub-frame.Threshold level T2 is greater than threshold level T1.Threshold level (value) L is determined by unique.
When the gray level of received image signal is equal to or less than threshold level T1, in period of sub-frame α, the picture signal of the gray level that is increased according to the gray level of received image signal or reduces is provided to the image displaying part of image display device, and in period of sub-frame β, provide the picture signal of minimal gray level to image displaying part.
When the gray level of received image signal greater than threshold level T1 and when being equal to or less than threshold level T2, in period of sub-frame α, the picture signal of gray level L is provided to image displaying part, and in period of sub-frame β, provide the picture signal of the gray level that is increased according to the gray level of received image signal or reduces to image displaying part.
When the gray level of received image signal during greater than threshold level T2, in period of sub-frame α, the picture signal of the gray level that is increased according to the gray level of received image signal or reduces is provided to image displaying part, and in period of sub-frame β, provide the picture signal of maximum gray scale to image displaying part.
In example 3, the brightness among the period of sub-frame α is higher than or is lower than brightness among the period of sub-frame β, is to change according to the gray level of received image signal.Therefore, from different in the example 1, being configured to the period of sub-frame of the first period of sub-frame and being configured to the period of sub-frame of the second period of sub-frame can not be by determining for the response time of the luminance transformation from the minimum brightness level to the maximum brightness level and for the relation between the response time of the luminance transformation from the maximum brightness level to the minimum brightness level.Which period of sub-frame is configured to the first period of sub-frame and which period of sub-frame and is configured to the second period of sub-frame, for example preferably determines according to the characteristic of other characteristic of display board or shown image.In this example, period of sub-frame β is configured to the first period of sub-frame, and period of sub-frame α is configured to the second period of sub-frame.
Figure 21 has illustrated the target brightness levels in the example 3.
In example 3, as shown in Figure 21, threshold level T1 is defined as the gray level when the brightness that is assumed to be is 25%, and threshold level T2 is defined as the gray level when the brightness that is assumed to be is 75%, and the gray level L of defined is defined as the gray level when the brightness that is assumed to be is 50%.
When being assumed to be that brightness for received image signal is equal to or less than threshold level T1, in the first period of sub-frame (period of sub-frame β), realize that in minimum brightness level 0% image shows, and in the second period of sub-frame (period of sub-frame α), realize that in the intensity level that is increased according to the gray level of received image signal or reduces image shows.
When being assumed to be brightness for received image signal greater than threshold level T1 (25%) and being equal to or less than threshold level T2 (75%), in the first period of sub-frame (period of sub-frame β), realize that in the intensity level corresponding to gray level L (50%) image shows, and in the second period of sub-frame (period of sub-frame α), realize that in the intensity level that is increased according to the gray level of received image signal or reduces image shows.
When being assumed to be that brightness for received image signal is greater than threshold level T2 (75%), realize that in the intensity level that is increased according to the gray level of received image signal or reduces image shows, and in the second period of sub-frame (period of sub-frame α), realize that in maximum brightness level 100% image shows.
Figure 22 shows the gray level that is provided at the picture signal in the first period of sub-frame and the second period of sub-frame, in order to realize above-described target display brightness.
In example 3, from different in the example 1, display board has with expression formula (1) represented gamma light characteristic, and received image signal is still considered and produced with the represented gamma light characteristic of expression formula (1).
Figure 23 show when an object during along with the static background horizontal ground motion in the image display device in the example 3 brightness according to time of a horizontal line in screen change.This object is along with the static background horizontal ground motion described in the example 7 of the open No.2001-296841 (Figure 52 and 53) of Japan's special permission.With the identical brightness of Figure 10 (example 1) on, show the part B of example 10 static backgrounds.Therefore consider the part A of Moving Objects, be assumed to be that the brightness for received image signal has surpassed 50%, and the intensity level in the second period of sub-frame (T202) is higher than intensity level in the first period of sub-frame (T201).
Figure 24 is the distribution except the brightness aspect of the image shown in the Figure 23 that is observed by the observer's who notes Moving Objects eyes.Be appreciated that discontinuous (the with dashed lines circle is represented among Figure 16) on brightness changes disappeared (the with dashed lines circle is represented among Figure 20).The shape that Figure 24 shows the point that this brightness of expression changes between such as the left end of the represented Moving Objects of with dashed lines circle and right-hand member is different.Yet, from different in the example 1, having reduced the shortcoming shown in Figure 53, this shortcoming is to have the part bright or darker than original image.
(example 4)
Image display device in the example 4 of the present invention has used has the response characteristic different from the display board in the example 1.For one in two period of sub-frame, the gray level that provides is provided a upper limit, in order to reduce motion blur.For for simplicity, this display board can also represent with reference number 10.
In the situation of employed display board, very low for the response speed of the luminance transformation from the maximum brightness level to the minimum brightness level in example 4 of the present invention, and can not in a period of sub-frame, finish this response.On the contrary, very high for the response speed of the luminance transformation from the minimum brightness level to the maximum brightness level, and in a period of sub-frame, realize in fact this response.Therefore, period of sub-frame α is configured to the first period of sub-frame, and period of sub-frame β is configured to the second period of sub-frame.
To the target brightness levels that be used for the first period of sub-frame and the second period of sub-frame in the example 4 be described.
Figure 25 has illustrated the target brightness levels in the example 4.
In Figure 25, left-hand component shows the brightness that is assumed to be for received image signal.Center section shows the display brightness in each of the first period of sub-frame and the second period of sub-frame.Right-hand component shows the time integral brightness in two period of sub-frame in a frame period.Consider this value, so that coupling is by the brightness of the actual institute of observer's eyes perception.The value of the maximum possible that the time integral of brightness that herein, can be by display board 10 obtains is set to 100%.Figure 25 shows the intensity level for received image signal of being assumed to be of considering 0%, 25%, 50%, 66.67%, 75% and 100% gamma light characteristic.
As shown in Figure 25, be assumed to be that the brightness for 2/3 (66.67%) received image signal of high-high brightness is set to a threshold level, this threshold level is a reference for the gray level of the picture signal that is provided at each period of sub-frame.When be assumed to be brightness for received image signal be high-high brightness 2/3 (66.67%) or still less the time, the brightness in the first period of sub-frame is expressed as follows.
Brightness for received image signal of brightness in the first period of sub-frame=be assumed to be * 1.5 (ratio of defined, i.e. multiples: 1.5).
Therefore, the brightness in the first period of sub-frame is to be increased for the brightness of received image signal or to reduce according to being assumed to be.For example, when being assumed to be that brightness for received image signal is 25%, the brightness in the first period of sub-frame is 25% * 1.5=37.5%.
When be assumed to be for the brightness of received image signal greater than high-high brightness 2/3 (66.67%) time, the brightness in the first period of sub-frame maximum (100%).This maximal value 100% is to multiply by 1.5 by threshold level 66.67% to obtain.
When be assumed to be brightness for received image signal be high-high brightness 2/3 (66.67%) or still less the time, the brightness in the second period of sub-frame minimum (0%).
When be assumed to be for the brightness of received image signal greater than high-high brightness 2/3 (66.67%) time, the brightness in the second period of sub-frame is expressed as follows.
Brightness in the second period of sub-frame=(being assumed to be the brightness-2/3 for received image signal) * 1.5 (ratio of defined, i.e. multiple: 1.5).
Therefore, the brightness in the second period of sub-frame is to be increased for the brightness of received image signal or to reduce according to being assumed to be.For example, when being assumed to be that brightness for received image signal is 75% (3/4), the brightness in the second period of sub-frame is (3/4-2/3) * 1.5=12.5%.
In example 4, in order to improve the quality of moving image, the upper limit L1 and the upper limit L2 that is provided at the gray level of the picture signal in the second period of sub-frame of the gray level that is provided at the picture signal in the first period of sub-frame is set, concern L1 〉=L2 in order to satisfy.In this example, the upper limit L1 that is used for the first period of sub-frame is 100%, and the upper limit L2 that is used for the second period of sub-frame is 50%.
Be set to 50% because be used for the upper limit L2 of the second period of sub-frame, so the maximal value of the brightness of being felt by observer's eyes has been reduced 25%.Yet, even when the brightness that is used for received image signal maximum (100%), in brightness, also have difference between the first period of sub-frame and the second period of sub-frame.Therefore, alleviated motion blur.
In example 4, from different in the example 1, display board and brightness have by the represented gamma light characteristic of expression formula (1), and consider by the represented gamma light characteristic of expression formula (1), have also produced received image signal.The gray level of received image signal and be assumed to be that display brightness for this gray level has as by the represented relation of expression formula (1).
In example 4, (a) threshold level in each period of sub-frame is set, this threshold level is a reference that is used for the gray level of picture signal, and the gray level that (b) after being increased according to the gray level of received image signal or reducing, is provided at the picture signal in each period of sub-frame so as the gray level of received image signal and in a frame period relation between the time integral brightness show a kind of suitable gamma light characteristic.
In example 4, consider time integral brightness in two period of sub-frame, so that the brightness that in fact coupling is felt by observer's eyes.Especially in example 4, even when the gray level of received image signal is very high, in order to alleviate motion blur, the intensity level in the second period of sub-frame is restricted to display board the maximum possible value half or still less.In the following description, will be described as the maximum brightness level that can be provided by the image display device in the example 4 to 75% intensity level (time integral brightness in a frame period) of the maximum possible value of display board.
In this case, the gray level of received image signal and be provided at the gray level in the first period of sub-frame and the gray level that is provided in the second period of sub-frame has following relation.
(gray level/maximum gray scale of received image signal) γ={ (being provided at the gray level/maximum gray scale in the first period of sub-frame) γ+ (being provided at the gray level/maximum gray scale in the second period of sub-frame) γ}/2 * (1/0.75) (γ=2.2) expression formulas (4)
Figure 26 show received image signal gray level, be provided at the gray level in the first period of sub-frame and be provided at relation between the gray level in the second period of sub-frame, it satisfies expression formula (4).
In Figure 26, left-hand component shows the gray level of received image signal.Center section shows the gray level each that is provided at the first period of sub-frame and the second period of sub-frame after the gray level from received image signal is converted.Right-hand component shows time integral brightness in two period of sub-frame in a frame period.
Figure 26 shows the time integral value of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 83.2% and 100% brightness.
As shown in Figure 26, be assumed to be that the brightness for 83.2% received image signal is set to a threshold level, this threshold level is the reference for the gray level of the picture signal that is provided at each period of sub-frame.When the gray level of received image signal is 83.2% or still less the time, the gray level that is provided at the picture signal in the first period of sub-frame is increased for the brightness of received image signal or reduces according to being assumed to be, in order to satisfy expression formula (4).Be provided at the gray level minimum (0%) of the picture signal in the second period of sub-frame.
When the gray level of received image signal greater than 83.2% the time, be provided at the gray level maximum (100%) of the picture signal in the first period of sub-frame.The gray level that is provided at the picture signal in the second period of sub-frame is increased for the brightness of received image signal or reduces according to being assumed to be, in order to satisfy expression formula (4).
Acquisition is provided at the gray level of the picture signal in the first period of sub-frame, result as received image signal is temporarily stored in the line buffer 41, and from line buffer 41, export, and changed by the first gradation conversion circuit 44 among the control LSI 40A.Acquisition is provided at the gray level of the picture signal in the second period of sub-frame, result as received image signal is temporarily stored in the frame memory 30, and from frame memory 30, export, and changed by the second gradation conversion circuit 45 among the control LSI 40A.
When the gray level that is converted that provides shown in the center section of Figure 26, on according to the brightness of gamma light characteristic, realize that in the first and second period of sub-frame image shows, this gamma light characteristic is processed by the source electrode driver of display board 10, and shown in expression formula (1), and as shown in Figure 54.
As a result, observer's eyes are perceived as brightness with the time integral brightness in first and second period of sub-frame in a frame period, as shown in the right of Figure 26.This gamma light characteristic is reproduced in this time integral brightness, and this gamma light characteristic is assumed to be for received image signal, as by expression formula (1) represented and as shown in Figure 54.Be appreciated that a suitable gamma light characteristic can be reproduced by the image display device in the example 4 and method for displaying image.
In order to utilize image display device in the example 4 and method to show the image of the object that moves in the horizontal direction with a static background, when the gray level of received image signal is enough hanged down, the second period of sub-frame in the display part of the display part that is used for static background and Moving Objects provides the minimal gray level.Therefore, as in the situation of the image display device that is suitable for minimum (brightness) insertion system shown in Figure 52 and 53, alleviated motion blur, and strengthened contrast, in order to improve the quality of moving image.
Figure 27 show when an object along with example 4 in during static background horizontal ground motion in the image display device brightness according to time of a horizontal line in the screen change.As described in the example 7 of the open No.2001-296841 (Figure 52 and 53) of Japan special permission, this object is along with this static background horizontal ground motion.
In Figure 27, transverse axis is illustrated in the luminance state (position of pixel portion in the horizontal direction) on the horizontal direction of screen, and the longitudinal axis represents this time.Figure 27 shows the image that is displayed on this screen in three frames.
In Figure 27, each frame period T101 comprises two period of sub-frame T201 (the first period of sub-frame) and T202 (the second period of sub-frame).For the display part B of static background, the gray level of received image signal is very low.Therefore, in the first period of sub-frame T201, the picture signal that display part B uses the gray level that is increased according to the gray level of received image signal or reduces is in luminance with 40% brightness.In the second period of sub-frame T202, display part B is in not luminance with minimum brightness 0%.For the display part B of this moving image, the gray level of received image signal is higher than the threshold value of defined.Therefore, in the first period of sub-frame T201, display part A is in luminance with 100% high-high brightness.In the second period of sub-frame T202, the picture signal that display part A uses the gray level that is increased according to the gray level of received image signal or reduces is in luminance with 20% brightness.With the numeral of " % " intensity level with respect to the image of 100% maximum display capabilities.For example, be used for the brightness of the numeral 40% that the with dashed lines of B1 surrounds.
Figure 28 shows the distribution of the brightness aspect of the image shown in the Figure 27 that is observed by the observer's who notes Moving Objects eyes.
The shape that Figure 28 shows the point of expression brightness change is the left end of Moving Objects and the difference between the right-hand member, and is represented such as the with dashed lines circle.
Figure 30 shows when being provided for the gray level of the picture signal of employed display board 10 in the example 4 according to the temperature conditions adjustment according to the difference of temperature conditions in brightness.Left-hand component shows the at high temperature response speed of liquid crystal material, and left-hand component shows the at low temperatures response speed of liquid crystal material.Thick line represents this gray level.The brightness that the region representation of being drawn shade changes with the response speed of liquid crystal material.
Because above-described temperature correction function, in the right-hand component of Figure 30, at low temperatures, provide than the gray level of lower picture signal at high temperature in the left side of Figure 30, especially in the second period of sub-frame.Therefore, so that the brightness that causes by the delay in the response of liquid crystal material at low temperatures changes with at high temperature brightness change equates.By this way, do not consider temperature conditions, for the same grey level of picture signal, can keep the brightness of being felt by observer's eyes.
As mentioned above, according to example 4 of the present invention, when showing the image of the object that moves together along with a static background, alleviated motion blur, reduced simultaneously the maximal value of time integral brightness, it is the brightness of being felt by observer's eyes, only is 25%, and does not produce than the unusual bright or unusual dark part of original image.Therefore, can improve the quality of the moving image of handheld image display device.In addition, can show this image with the gray level expressing with the gamma light characteristic that is suitable for received image signal.
(example 5)
In example 5 of the present invention, the picture signal of the separately gray level by the three primary colors red, green and blue is provided, image display device display color.
Figure 31 show when an object during along with the static background horizontal ground motion of the image display device in the example 5 brightness according to the time of a horizontal line in screen change, wherein the image display device in this example 5 has in fact the identical structure with example 1.With the grade of separately brightness, show the three primary colors red, green and blue.For static background, institute's the colorful one intensity level is 0%.For Moving Objects, be assumed to be that the brightness for red received image signal is 75%, and be assumed to be that each the brightness for green received image signal and blue received image signal is 50%.
As shown in Figure 31, in the red, green and blue each, be assumed to be to have above with reference to figure 8 described relations for the brightness of received image signal and the intensity level of first and second period of sub-frame.Therefore, in the first period of sub-frame, for redness, the brightness with 50% shows the part A of Moving Objects, and in the second period of sub-frame, for red, green and blue, the brightness with 100% shows the part A of Moving Objects.
The dotted arrow of the observer's of attention expression accompany movement object eyes is appreciated that in the core of object, as in the still image, observe a kind of suitable color, but only observe redness at the right-hand member of this object, and the left end of this object is then red not enough.Owing to damaged the luminance balance of three kinds of colors, so can observe unusual color.
Reason is, red received image signal has very high gray level, and is displayed in the first and second period of sub-frame, yet green and blue received image signal has very low gray level, and only is displayed in the first period of sub-frame.This just causes in the time state of center of gravity having any different between red and other two kinds of colors in the heart.
For fear of this phenomenon, in example 5, consider two kinds of colors except the color of high grade grey level with received image signal, control is provided at the meeting of the picture signal in the first period of sub-frame and the second period of sub-frame and loses machine.
This is according to following mode specific implementation.Consider the color of the high grade grey level that in three kinds of colors, has received image signal, picture signal with maximum gray scale is provided in the second period of sub-frame, perhaps is increased according to the gray level of received image signal or the picture signal of the gray level that reduces.In the first period of sub-frame, as in example 1, provide the picture signal with minimal gray level, perhaps be increased according to the gray level of received image signal or the picture signal of the gray level that reduces.Consider each in other two kinds of colors, this gray level is set, in order to be displayed on the intensity level in the first period of sub-frame and be displayed on ratio between the intensity level in the second period of sub-frame, equate with the ratio that is displayed on the intensity level in the first period of sub-frame and is displayed between the intensity level in the second period of sub-frame of the color of the high grade grey level with received image signal.
In example 5, the time of picture signal stream and the method that is used for driving display board 10 are in fact identical with example 1, and will not do repeat specification.Hereinafter, different from method in the example 1, a kind of be used to utilizing the first grey level transition circuit 44 and the second grey level transition circuit 45 to change the method for the gray level of the color except the color of high grade grey level with received image signal with describing.
Employed display board 10 has following gamma light characteristic in the example 5, described in example 1.
Display brightness=(gray level/maximum brightness level of received image signal) γ(γ=2.2)
Expression formula (1)
(wherein the maximal value of display brightness is " 1 ", and the minimum value of display brightness is " 0 ").
For the pixel portion in the frame, gray level and the ratio between the maximum gray scale of picture signal that is provided at the color of the high grade grey level with received image signal in the first period of sub-frame is X 1The gray level and the ratio between the maximum gray scale that are provided at the picture signal of the color in the second period of sub-frame are X 2
X 1Gray level/maximum gray scale in the=the first period of sub-frame
X 2Gray level/maximum gray scale in the=the second period of sub-frame
Because this gamma light characteristic, the display brightness in each period of sub-frame is as follows.
Display brightness=X in the first period of sub-frame 1 γ
Display brightness=X in the first period of sub-frame 2 γ
Similarly, the gray level and the ratio between the maximum gray scale that are provided at the picture signal of the color except the color of high grade grey level with received image signal in the first period of sub-frame are Y 1The gray level and the ratio between the maximum gray scale that are provided at the picture signal of that color in the second period of sub-frame are Y 2
Y 1Gray level/maximum gray scale in the=the first period of sub-frame
Y 2Gray level/maximum gray scale in the=the second period of sub-frame
Because this gamma light characteristic, the display brightness in each period of sub-frame is as follows.
Display brightness=Y in the first period of sub-frame 1 γ
Display brightness=Y in the first period of sub-frame 2 γ
In example 5, as mentioned above, be displayed on the intensity level in the first period of sub-frame and be displayed on ratio between the intensity level in the first period of sub-frame of the color except the color of high grade grey level with received image signal, be displayed on the second period of sub-frame in intensity level and the ratio that is displayed between the intensity level in second period of sub-frame of color of the high grade grey level with received image signal equate.
Therefore, obtain lower relation of plane.
Y 1 γ: Y 2 γ=X 1 γ: X 2 γExpression formula (5)
Wherein the gray level of the received image signal of the color except the color of maximum gray scale with received image signal is Y, for a suitable gamma light characteristic being offered the gray level of received image signal and the relational expression between the time integral brightness in a frame period, described in example 4, the expression formula below needing to satisfy.
Y γ=(Y 1 γ+ Y 2 γ)/2 ... expression formula (6)
According to expression formula (5) and (6),
Y 1=Y{2X 1 γ/ (X 1 γ+ X 2 γ) 1/ γExpression formula (7)
Y 2=Y{2X 2 γ/ (X 1 γ+ X 2 γ) 1/ γExpression formula (8)
Therefore, by utilizing the first gradation conversion circuit 44 and the second gradation conversion circuit 45 among the controller LSI 40A, execution is according to the calculating of expression formula (7) and (8), determines the output gray level of the color except the color of high grade grey level with received image signal.
Figure 32 show when an object during along with the static background horizontal ground motion of the image display device in the example 5 brightness according to time of a horizontal line in a screen change.For this static background, institute's the colorful one intensity level is 0%.For Moving Objects, be assumed to be that the brightness for red received image signal is 75%, and be assumed to be that each the brightness for green received image signal and blue received image signal is 50%, as among Figure 31.
As shown in Figure 32, from different among Figure 31, in each period of sub-frame, the brightness ratio between the red, green and blue is maintained a suitable value.Therefore, in the end of Moving Objects owing to the phenomenon that anomalous trichromatism appears in the luminance balance that has destroyed three kinds of colors can not occur.
(example 6)
In example 6 of the present invention, the frame that image shows by the time integral value of the brightness during period of sub-frame (i.e. the first period of sub-frame and the second period of sub-frame) and realization.According to two frames of the image of continuous input, produce by estimating at the image of intermediateness according to the time.When the gray shade scale of received image signal is equal to or less than by well-determined threshold level, increase according to the gray shade scale of the picture signal of input or the picture signal of the gray shade scale that reduces is provided in by a well-determined subframe (for example the first period of sub-frame).When the gray shade scale of picture signal of input during greater than the threshold level, also in the picture signal that maximum gray shade scale is provided by a well-determined period of sub-frame (for example the first period of sub-frame).When the gray-scale value in the picture signal of intermediateness is equal to or less than the threshold level, in other period of sub-frame (for example the second period of sub-frame), provide the picture signal of minimal gray grade.When the gray-scale value in the picture signal of intermediateness is equal to or less than the threshold level, also in other period of sub-frame (for example the second period of sub-frame), provides according to the gray-scale value of the picture signal of intermediateness and increase or the picture signal of the gray-scale value that reduces.
Figure 33 is the block scheme (display control section shown in Figure 1) of the structure of the controller LSI 40 in example 6.In example 6, controller LSI 40 is represented by label 40B.
As shown in figure 33, controller LSI 40B comprises single file impact damper 41a (row data storage area), timing controlled part 42 (timing controlled part), frame memory data selector 43 (frame memory data selection part), the first gradation conversion circuit 44 (the first gradation conversion part), the second gradation conversion circuit 45 (the second gradation conversion part), output data selector 46 (output data selection part), the first multirow impact damper 47 (the first multirow data store is divided), the second multirow impact damper 48 (the second multirow data store is divided), buffered data selector switch 49 (temporarily storing the data selection part) and intermediate image produce circuit 50 (intermediate image generating portion).
Single file impact damper 41a one by one horizontal line ground receives the picture signal of input, and temporarily stores the picture signal of input.Single file impact damper 41a comprises independently receiving port and transmit port, therefore can receive simultaneously and transmitted signal.
Frame storage data selector 43 is timed controller 42 controls, and being used for one by one, horizontal line ground passes to frame memory 30 to the received image signal of storing at single file impact damper 41a.Thereby received image signal is delivered to frame memory 30 within a frame period.Frame memory 30 can not transmit and receive data simultaneously.Therefore, timing controller 42 such converted frames storage data selectors 43 (timing controlled) are so that be read out from frame memory 30 when received image signal does not transmit to frame memory 30.More particularly, read out in to horizontal line one by one with the previous frame period and be read out and be stored in received image signal in the frame memory 30, and be delivered to the first multirow impact damper 47.Meanwhile, and in the mode of timesharing, that two frame periods before reading out in to horizontal line one by one read and be stored in received image signal in the frame buffer 30, and be delivered to the second multirow impact damper 48.
Intermediate image produces circuit 50 and relatively is stored in picture signal in the first multirow impact damper 47 and the second multirow impact damper 48, so as to estimate and produce one between the picture signal of inputting before the frame period and the picture signal inputted before two frame periods in the picture signal of state that mediates aspect the time.
The first multirow impact damper 47 and the second multirow impact damper 48 can be stored the picture signal of tens horizontal line.The scope of the quantity of the pixel portion by in the horizontal direction * tens horizontal line, intermediate image produces circuit 50 more above-mentioned two picture signals, in order to produce the picture signal of the state that mediates in time.Produced such picture signal, for example, as following.From by the picture signal of inputting between two frame periods, pick up a regional area.In this regional area, obtain pixel portion gray level and.The picture signal of before a frame period, inputting, find out and have identical shaped regional area, so as the gray level of the pixel portion in the regional area of the picture signal of (a) before by two frame periods, inputting and and the regional area of the picture signal (b) before by a frame period, inputted in pixel portion gray level and between difference minimum.From being estimated as by the transmission destination of the regional area of the picture signal of input before two frame periods by the regional area of being found out the picture signal of input before the frame period.By the distance that will be transmitted by the regional area motion of the picture signal of input before two frame periods half, obtain a picture signal.By this way, produce the picture signal of the state that mediates in time.Because example 6 is not provided to describe in detail the method for generation of a kind of like this picture signal, thus will be not to the method detailed description of making comparisons.Adopt the method for this picture signal for generation of the state that mediates in time, be not easy to produce an image with insertion of entirely accurate.Therefore, because the error of insertion may cause incorrect demonstration in some pixel portion.
The picture signal that is produced by intermediate image generation circuit 50 is sequentially sent to the second gradation conversion circuit 45.
By input before a frame period and be stored in the picture signal in the first multirow impact damper 47 and also be transmitted to buffer data selector switch 49 by input before two frame periods and picture signal that be maintained in the second multirow impact damper 48.
By timing controller 42 controller buffer data selectors 49, so that according to this Displaying timer, selection is by input before the frame period and picture signal that provide from the first multirow impact damper 47, perhaps by input before two frame periods and picture signal that provide from the second multirow impact damper 48.Selected picture signal is transmitted to the first gradation conversion circuit 44.
With identical in the example 4, the grey level transition of the received image signal that the first gradation conversion circuit 44 will provide from impact damper data selector 49 is maximum gray scale or the gray level that is increased or reduces according to the gray level of received image signal.
With identical in the example 4, the grey level transition that the second gradation conversion circuit 45 will produce the picture signal that provide the circuit 50 from middle image is minimal gray level or the gray level that is increased or reduces according to the gray level of received image signal.
By timing controller 42 control output data selectors 46, in order to select the picture signal of output from the first gradation conversion circuit 44, in order to export this picture signal as the horizontal image signal in the first period of sub-frame, perhaps select the picture signal of output from the second gradation conversion circuit 45, in order to export this picture signal as the horizontal image signal in the second period of sub-frame.
The below comprises description the operation of the image display device in the example 6 of the controller LSI 40B with the above structure.
Figure 34 is the sequential chart by the signal in the image display device of horizontal cycle in example 6.
In Figure 34, a transmission cycle of a frame of each rectangular block presentation video.Letter in the rectangular block, for example which frame of " N " and " N+1 " each presentation video signal will be transmitted.Ci[f in the rectangular block of horizontal image signal] signal of expression, this signal is that i gradation conversion circuit (the first gradation conversion circuit 44 or the second gradation conversion circuit 45) obtains by the received image signal that conversion is used for the f frame.Picture signal with state that mediates between two frames in time of bracket ([,]) expression of comma.For example, C2[N-1, N] signal of expression will be transmitted, and to be the second gradation conversion circuit obtain by mediate the before picture signal of state of conversion (N-1) frame and N state this signal.
For frame memory 30, the region representation one-period of hatching, write signal in this cycle, and white space represents one-period, read signal in this cycle.Because frame memory 30 can not read and data writing simultaneously, write so realize in the mode of timesharing that data read with data.
As shown in Figure 34, in example 6, one-period, the picture signal in a frame period is transfused in this cycle, comprises two period of sub-frame (the first and second period of sub-frame).In the first period of sub-frame, export a picture signal, this picture signal is by utilizing 44 conversions of the first gradation conversion circuit to be obtained by the picture signal of input before two frames.In the second period of sub-frame, export a picture signal, this picture signal is by being obtained by the picture signal of input before the frame period with by the picture signal of the state that mediates in time between the picture signal of input before two frame periods by 45 conversions of the second gradation conversion circuit.
In example 6, by with the diverse ways of the example 1 shown in Fig. 3 and 4, drive display board 10.Example 6 employings begin the general method that a horizontal line one horizontal line ground sequentially transmits this picture signal from the uppermost row on this screen.
How Figure 35 shows and rewrites picture signal at a screen in the image display device in example 6.Especially, Figure 35 shows in the cycle of inputting the picture signal that is used for N frame and N+1 frame how to rewrite this picture signal.
In Figure 35, tiltedly arrow represents lengthwise position and timing, in this timing, rewrites the picture signal of a horizontal line.Ci[f] expression, show picture signal for the f frame by a picture signal utilizing i gradation conversion circuit (the first gradation conversion circuit 44 and the second gradation conversion circuit 45) to change.Picture signal with state that mediates between two frames in time of bracket ([,]) expression of comma.Keep this image display information, until be used for being rewritten with the picture signal of delegation.In Figure 35, white space represents a position, on this position, the image display information that reservation is changed by the first gradation conversion circuit 44, and draw position of region representation of shade, on this position, keep the image display information of being changed by the second gradation conversion circuit 45.Dotted line represents the boundary line between driven first to fourth gate drivers 14a to 14d.
The lengthwise position of attention horizontal line on this screen, the below will understand: during half of a frame, by utilizing the picture signal that the picture signal of input obtains before 44 two frame periods of conversion of the first gradation conversion circuit, realize that image shows; And in next of this frame during half, by the picture signal that the picture signal of being changed the state that mediates in time between the picture signal of inputting before the frame periods and the picture signal of the inputting before two frame periods by the second gradation conversion circuit 45 obtains, the realization image shows.The first half of this frame is known as the first period of sub-frame, and this frame the second half be known as the second period of sub-frame.
Figure 36 show when an object during along with the static background horizontal ground motion in the image display device in the example 6 brightness according to time of a horizontal line in a screen change.Identical among the display brightness level of Moving Objects and static background and Figure 27 (example 4).
In Figure 36, transverse axis represents the luminance state of (position of the pixel portion on the horizontal direction) on the horizontal direction of this screen, and the longitudinal axis represents the time.Figure 36 shows with three frames and is displayed on image on this screen.
In Figure 36, each frame period T101 comprises two period of sub-frame T201 (the first period of sub-frame) and T202 (the second period of sub-frame).For the display part B of this static background, the gray level of received image signal is very low.Therefore, in the first period of sub-frame T201, display part B is increased or 40% brightness of the picture signal of the gray level that reduces is in luminance at the ratio of regulation having according to the gray level of received image signal.In the second period of sub-frame T202, display part B is in not luminance in 0% minimum brightness level.For the display part A of this Moving Objects, the gray level of received image signal is enough high.Therefore, in the first period of sub-frame T201, display part A is in luminance in 100% brightness.On the second period of sub-frame T202, display part A is increased or 20% brightness of the picture signal of the gray level that reduces is in luminance at the ratio of regulation having according to the gray level of (by what estimate to produce) picture signal of the state that mediates in time.With the numeral of " % " intensity level with respect to 100% maximum display capabilities image.For example, be used for the brightness of the numeral 40% that the with dashed lines of B1 surrounds.
Image based on the state that mediates in time between the picture signal of in advance input produces the image that is displayed in the second period of sub-frame.Therefore, on the position on the row of being followed by the observer's who notes this Moving Objects eyes, show this Moving Objects.
Figure 37 shows the distribution by the brightness aspect of the image shown in viewed Figure 36 of eyes of the observer who notes this Moving Objects.
The display part A of this Moving Objects is on the row of being followed by the eyes of the observer in the image that is displayed in the second period of sub-frame.Therefore, for the observer, be easy to distinguish the border between static background and the Moving Objects.As a result, little in the situation of traditional handheld image display device of half shown in Width Figure 49 of motion blur.The width of motion blur even little than in the situation of the image display device in the example 4 shown in Figure 28.The phenomenon of the part that the existence shown in Figure 53 is bright or darker than original image does not occur.
Estimating based on two frame image signals and producing in the situation of picture signal of the state that mediates, because the error of insertion may cause incorrect demonstration on some pixel portion.By the time aspect that this picture signal is configured in the second period of sub-frame state that mediates, in this second period of sub-frame, be implemented to the conversion of relatively low end gray level, and configuration is input to the picture signal of the first period of sub-frame from the outside, in this first period of sub-frame, be implemented to the conversion of relatively high gray level, can be so that this incorrect demonstration be difficult to sensation.
In example 6, as in example 4, be provided at the picture signal among of period of sub-frame gray level upper limit L1 and be provided at the upper limit L2 of the gray level of the picture signal in another period of sub-frame, be set to satisfy relational expression L1 〉=L2.By this set, even also can between the first period of sub-frame and the second period of sub-frame, provide the luminance difference that is equal to or greater than a setting when being assumed to be when maximum for the brightness of received image signal.Therefore, can alleviate motion blur.
In example 6, (a) can be set as the threshold level of the reference of the gray level that in each period of sub-frame, is used for picture signal, and the gray level that (b) after being increased according to the gray level of received image signal or reducing, is provided at the picture signal in each period of sub-frame, so that the relation between the time integral value of the gray level of received image signal and the brightness in a frame period represents a suitable gamma light characteristic.By this set, can show to have the image that gray scale represents, this gray scale shows to have the gamma light characteristic that is suitable for received image signal.
In example 6, can be according to from the temperature level signal setting (a) of the temperature sensor IC 20 threshold level as the reference of the gray level that in each period of sub-frame, is used for picture signal, and the gray level that (b) after being increased according to the gray level of received image signal or reducing, is provided at the picture signal in each period of sub-frame, wherein this temperature sensor IC 20 is for detection of the temperature of display board 10 or near the temperature it.By this set, even when display board 10 uses liquid crystal material, do not consider temperature conditions, also can keep the gray level of received image signal and the brightness felt by observer's eyes between relation.
In example 6, have at received image signal in the situation of a plurality of colour components, the gray level that is provided at the picture signal in each period of sub-frame is set up as follows.Consider except the color of high grade grey level with received image signal (for example, redness) each in two kinds of colors outside, this gray level is set, in order to be displayed on the intensity level in the first period of sub-frame and be displayed on ratio between the intensity level in the second period of sub-frame, be displayed on the first period of sub-frame in intensity level and the ratio that is displayed on the color of the high grade grey level with received image signal between the intensity level in the second period of sub-frame equate.Adopt this set, the brightness ratio between the color is maintained at a suitable value, and can prevent because the deterioration on picture quality that incorrect color balance causes.
(example 7)
In example 7 of the present invention, the time integral value by during two period of sub-frame (that is, the first period of sub-frame and the second period of sub-frame), asking brightness and, realize that the image of a frame shows.
When the gray level of received image signal is equal to or less than by well-determined threshold level, at one of the period of sub-frame of being stipulated by displacement (for example, the first period of sub-frame) in, provides the picture signal of a gray level that is increased according to the gray level of received image signal or reduces.
When the gray level of received image signal during greater than this threshold level, or in by one (for example, the first period of sub-frame) of the period of sub-frame of unique regulation, provide the picture signal of a maximum gray scale.
When before the gray level of the picture signal in current frame period and the frame or the mean value of the gray level of the picture signal that is transfused to after the frame when being equal to or less than this threshold level, in another period of sub-frame (for example, the second period of sub-frame) in, provides the picture signal of a minimal gray level.
When this mean value during greater than this threshold level, or in this another period of sub-frame (for example, the second period of sub-frame), provide the picture signal of a gray level that is increased according to this mean value or reduces.
Figure 38 is that controller LSI 40 in the example 7 is (as display control section; Shown in Fig. 1) the calcspar of structure.In example 7, controller LSI 40 usefulness reference number 40C represent.
As shown in Figure 38, controller LSI 40C comprises the gray level circuit 51 (gray level average part) of averaging, rather than the intermediate image among Figure 33 (example 6) produces circuit 50.Gray level is averaged circuit 51 with being stored in respectively the gray level addition of two picture signals in the first multirow impact damper 47 and the second multirow impact damper 48, in order to calculate the mean value of the gray level of two picture signals.The mean value that obtains is provided for the second gradation conversion circuit 45.
Controller LSI 40C with example 6 in the identical in fact mode of controller LSI 40B operate.
The stream that one frame of the image in the example 7 connects a frame as shown in Figure 34, with identical in the example 6.Yet should be noted that, in example 7, the picture signal that the mean value of bracket ([, the]) expression with comma by the picture signal of two frames obtains.
By this way, in the first period of sub-frame, export a picture signal, it is to obtain by the picture signal input of having been inputted by 44 conversions of the first gradation conversion circuit, and in the second period of sub-frame, the picture signal that mean value obtained of two frame image signals of being inputted is continuously changed in output by the second gradation conversion circuit 45.
Figure 39 show when an object during along with the static background horizontal ground motion in the image display device in the example 7 brightness according to time of a horizontal line in a screen change.Identical among the display brightness level of this Moving Objects and this static background and Figure 27 (example 4).
In Figure 39, transverse axis is illustrated in the luminance state of (position of pixel portion in the horizontal direction) on the horizontal direction of this screen, and the longitudinal axis represents the time.Figure 39 shows the image that is displayed on this screen reward with three frames.
In Figure 39, each frame period T101 comprises two period of sub-frame T201 (the first period of sub-frame) and T202 (the second period of sub-frame).For the display part B of this static background, the gray level of received image signal is very low.Therefore, in the first period of sub-frame T201, display part B is in luminance in 40% brightness of the picture signal with the gray level that is increased according to the gray scale of received image signal or reduces.In the second period of sub-frame T202, display part B is in not luminance in 0% minimum brightness.For the display part A of this Moving Objects, the mean value of the gray level of the gray level of received image signal and two frame image signals is all enough high.Therefore, in the first period of sub-frame T201, display part A is in luminance in 100% brightness.In the second period of sub-frame T202, display part A is 10%, 20% and then have according to the mean value of the gray level of two frame image signals of sequentially being inputted and be increased or the brightness of the picture signal of the gray level that reduces is in luminance.Wherein brightness is to be a kind of like this cycle in 10% cycle, in this cycle, by the gray level of the second gradation conversion circuit 45 conversion according to the mean value of the gray level of the gray level of Moving Objects and static background.With the numeral of " % " intensity level with respect to 100% maximum display capabilities image.For example, be used for the brightness of the numeral 40% of being surrounded by dotted line of C.
According to this set, when the gray level of received image signal is enough low, in both the second period of sub-frame of the display part B of the display part A that is used for Moving Objects and static background, provide the picture signal of minimum brightness level.Therefore, can improve the quality (as in the image display device that adopts minimum (brightness) insertion system as shown in Figure 50 and 51) of moving image.
Figure 40 shows the distribution by the brightness aspect of the image shown in viewed Figure 39 of eyes of the observer who notes this Moving Objects.

Figure 43 shows how to write picture signal by repeating the demonstration control shown in Figure 42 at this screen.Especially, Figure 43 shows in the cycle of inputting the picture signal that is used for N frame and N+1 frame how to write this picture signal.
In Figure 43, tiltedly arrow represents lengthwise position and timing, in this timing, writes the picture signal of a horizontal line.Ci[f] expression shows picture signal for the f frame according to the picture signal of being changed by i gradation conversion circuit (the first gradation conversion circuit 44 and the second gradation conversion circuit 45).Keep this image display information, until write for the picture signal with delegation.In Figure 43, white space represents to keep the position of the image display information of being changed by the first gradation conversion circuit 44, and the region representation of picture shade keeps the position of the image display information of being changed by the second gradation conversion circuit 45.Dotted line represents the boundary line between driven first to fourth gate drivers 14a to 14d.
The lengthwise position of attention horizontal line on this screen will be understood following aspect: during half of a frame, realize that according to the picture signal of being changed by the first gradation conversion circuit 44 image shows; And before the field and a frame afterwards per 1/4 during, realize that according to the picture signal of being changed by the second gradation conversion circuit 45 image shows.First of one frame period 1/4 is known as the first period of sub-frame, and half frame period after this is known as the second period of sub-frame, and a frame period last 1/4 be known as the 3rd period of sub-frame.
As shown in Figure 42, when inputting the picture signal of a frame, (a) cycle that the picture signal of wherein being changed by the first gradation conversion circuit 44 is used to show, and the picture signal of (b) wherein being changed by the second gradation conversion circuit 45 cycle of being used to show, all be half of a frame period.Therefore, the first gradation conversion circuit 44 and the second gradation conversion circuit 45 can be changed this picture signal, so that the gray level that is converted has in fact and the relation identical such as the gray level of the received image signal in the example 4.Therefore, alleviate motion blur, thereby improved the quality of moving image, and obtained a kind of suitable gamma light characteristic.
In order to utilize image display device in the example 8 and method to show the image of an object that moves in the horizontal direction along with static background, when the gray level of received image signal was enough low, the first period of sub-frame and the 3rd period of sub-frame in the display part of the display part that is used for static background and Moving Objects provided the minimal gray level.Therefore, the situation as at the image display device that is suitable for the minimum as shown in Figure 50 and 51 (brightness) insertion system has alleviated motion blur, thereby has improved the quality of moving image.
Figure 44 show when an object during along with the static background horizontal ground motion in the image display device in the example 8 brightness according to time of the horizontal line in a screen change.Identical among the display brightness level of Moving Objects and static background and Figure 27 (example 4).
In Figure 44, transverse axis is illustrated in the luminance state of (position of pixel portion in the horizontal direction) on the horizontal direction of screen, and the longitudinal axis represents the time.Figure 44 shows with three frames and is displayed on image on this screen.
In Figure 44, each frame period T101 comprises three period of sub-frame T301 (the first period of sub-frame), T302 (the second period of sub-frame) and T303 (the 3rd period of sub-frame).For the display part B of static background, the gray level of received image signal is very low.Therefore, in the second period of sub-frame T302, display part B is in luminance in 40% brightness of the picture signal with the gray level that is increased according to the gray level of received image signal or reduces.In the first and the 3rd period of sub-frame T301 and T303, display part B is in not luminance in 0% minimum brightness.For the display part A of Moving Objects, the gray level of received image signal is enough high.Therefore, in the second period of sub-frame T302, display part A is in luminance in 100% brightness.In the first and the 3rd period of sub-frame T301 and T303, display part A is in luminance in 20% brightness of the picture signal with the gray level that is increased according to the gray level of received image signal or reduces.The numeral that adopts " % " is with respect to the intensity level of 100% maximum brightness level image.For example, be used for the brightness of the numeral 0% that the dotted line of C surrounds.
Figure 45 shows the distribution by the brightness aspect of the image shown in viewed Figure 44 of eyes of the observer who notes Moving Objects.
Phenomenon shown in Figure 28 (example 4) has been solved, and the shape of the row that this phenomenon changes for expression brightness is different between such as the left end of the represented Moving Objects of with dashed lines circle and right-hand member.
In example 8 (in example 4), (a) can be set according to the temperature level signal from temperature sensor IC 20 as the threshold level that is used in the reference of the gray level of the picture signal of each period of sub-frame, and the gray level that (b) after being increased according to the gray level of received image signal or reducing, is provided at the picture signal in each period of sub-frame, this temperature sensor IC 20 is for detection of the temperature of display board 10 or near the temperature it.By this set, even when display board 10 uses liquid crystal material, do not consider temperature conditions, also can keep the gray level of received image signal and the brightness felt by observer's eyes between relation.
In example 8, comprise at received image signal in the situation of multicolour composition, the gray level that is provided at the picture signal in each period of sub-frame can be set up as follows.Consider be in the high grade grey level with received image signal color (for example, redness) two kinds of colors outside (for example, green and blue) each in, this gray level is set, in order to be displayed on the intensity level in the first period of sub-frame and be displayed on ratio between the intensity level in the second period of sub-frame, equate with the ratio that is displayed on the intensity level in the first period of sub-frame and is displayed between the intensity level in the second period of sub-frame of the color of the high grade grey level with received image signal.Adopt this set, the brightness ratio between the color is maintained at a suitable value, and can prevent because the deterioration on the picture quality that incorrect color balance causes.
