With original image shown in Figure 3 is example, determines with above-mentioned three kinds the image of the mode gained of each subregion backlight gray scale value shows it is respectively Fig. 4 a, and Fig. 4 b and Fig. 4 c with the original image enlarged drawing comparison of Fig. 4 d, can find out that the bright spot of the high gray of a little quantity becomes dull.
Therefore be necessary to propose a kind of backlight adjustment calculation method, overcome above-mentioned shortcoming.
[summary of the invention]
Fundamental purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of backlight adjustment calculation method, and it can reach better image quality and more energy-conservation under different image modes.
For reaching aforementioned purpose of the present invention, the invention provides a kind of backlight adjustment calculation method and comprise: all picture element values of a subregion picture are added up divided by the maximum gray value summation of this subregion again, obtain picture GTG summation average image load; An one restriction lowest backlight GTG value restriction the highest backlight gray scale value corresponding of decision smallest image load correspondence with largest image load; And according to smallest image load correspondence, restriction lowest backlight GTG value, largest image load is corresponding and the highest backlight gray scale value of restriction determines a Slope Parameters, obtains needed adjustment restrictive curve backlight by this Slope Parameters.
Compared to the method for prior art, backlight adjustment calculation method of the present invention can be according to different mode or picture and is adopted different adjustment restrictive curves backlight, can not sacrifice the bright spot part of the high gray of a little quantity, more can show picture usefulness (performance).
For foregoing of the present invention can be become apparent, preferred embodiment cited below particularly, and cooperate appended graphicly, be described in detail below:
[description of drawings]

Fig. 2 is the average proportionate relationship figure of picture GTG summation of another kind of existing backlight adjustment calculation method.
Fig. 3 is an original image.
Fig. 4 a, Fig. 4 b and Fig. 4 c are respectively the image of original image shown in Figure 3 through existing deciding means gained backlight.
Fig. 4 d is the enlarged drawing of original image shown in Figure 3.
Fig. 5 is the image of original image shown in Figure 3 through backlight adjustment calculation method gained of the present invention.
Fig. 6 a to Fig. 6 d is the different mode that obtains through backlight adjustment calculation method of the present invention or the adjustment restrictive curve backlight of picture.
[embodiment]
But backlight adjustment calculation method of the present invention is at the high dynamic range displays of Region control backlight illumination, adjust restrictive curve based on different images, further after this parameter of curve restriction, obtain the restriction of minimum brightness and high-high brightness backlight gray scale value, can obtain needed adjustment restrictive curve backlight.Therefore can adopt different adjustment restrictive curves backlight according to different mode or picture.
Shown in Fig. 6 a, in a better embodiment of the present invention, the inventive method may further comprise the steps:
All picture element values of this subregion picture are added up divided by the maximum gray value summation of this subregion again, obtain a picture GTG summation average (being image load (Image Loading));
One restriction lowest backlight GTG value Min_BL of decision smallest image load Min_IL correspondence, a restriction the highest backlight gray scale value Max_BL corresponding with decision largest image load Max_IL; And
According to smallest image load correspondence, restriction lowest backlight GTG value, largest image load correspondence and the highest backlight gray scale value of restriction, calculate a slope (slope) parameter, limit by adjustment this Slope Parameters, to obtain needed adjustment restrictive curve backlight, the reference frame that this adjustment restrictive curve backlight is the backlight gray scale value can be applied to arbitrarily in each pattern picture.Wherein adding up of picture element value can be the mean value of all picture elements in each backlight subarea, the maximal value or the middle number of all picture elements ... or the like various can be by the characterisitic parameter that obtains in the probability density function of picture (Probability Density Function is called for short PDF).Backlight adjustment calculation method of the present invention also comprises: add that dynamic adjustment mechanism is applied to each situation.
Because this adjustment restrictive curve backlight can be used as the reference frame of backlight gray scale value, so, just can be applied to arbitrarily (for example shown in Fig. 6 a to Fig. 6 d) in each different pattern picture by changing the slope of this adjustment restrictive curve backlight; That is, thereby the picture effect that method of the present invention obtains wanting with the curve that obtains Different Slope with different parameters decision lowest backlight GTG value and the highest backlight gray scale value.Method of the present invention can also be detected number district picture, dynamically changes the modulation effect.
