Below, image correction data generation system of the present invention, image correction data generation method, image correction data generator program and image calibrating circuit are described.Explanation improves the situation of image quality by the demonstration inequality (brightness disproportionation) of the display panel of inhibition adjustment object in the present embodiment.In addition, in the present embodiment,, use liquid crystal panel 10 as the display panel of adjusting object.
This liquid crystal panel 10 comprises by the liquid crystal of transparency electrode clamping (liquid crystal portion) with from the backlight of back side illuminaton liquid crystal.So, the image of the limb darkening of the inequality of the overlapping liquid crystal portion of output and backlight on liquid crystal panel 10.
In order to improve the image quality of liquid crystal panel 10, as shown in Figure 3, use correcting circuit 50.This correcting circuit 50 possesses the nonvolatile memory (ROM 51) that is used for the document image table of corrections.
Record the relevant data (image rectification table) of corrected value among this ROM 51 with the signal value that is used to adjust the picture signal of being imported.In the present embodiment, to the plane distribution of each benchmark Grey Scale Recording corrected value.
And as shown in Figure 1, the image correction data generation system that is used to calculate this corrected value comprises image quality adjusting gear 20, video camera 30, test pattern generating apparatus 40 and ROM write device 60.
At this, take as 30 pairs of images that are presented on the liquid crystal panel 10 of video camera of image pickup part, output image data is supplied to image quality adjusting gear 20.In the present embodiment, as video camera 30, use the B that possesses the CCD element.
According to indication, supply with test mode signals as the test pattern generating apparatus 40 of signal generating unit to liquid crystal panel 10 from image quality adjusting gear 20.In the present embodiment, the rgb signal of 8bit is supplied to whole of liquid crystal panel 10.
ROM write device 60 will be written to ROM 51 from the correcting value data of image quality adjusting gear 20 outputs.
Image quality adjusting gear 20 is terminals of carrying out the processing that is used for calculated correction value, and this corrected value is used to adjust the image quality of liquid crystal panel 10.
This image quality adjusting gear 20 possesses control part 21.This control part 21 has CPU, RAM and ROM etc., carries out processing described later (indication step, the image that comprises the supply indication of output common signal value obtained the processing that step, bandpass filtering step, correction data generate step etc.).By carrying out this table of corrections generator program, as shown in Figure 1, control part 21 plays a role as process management portion 211, bandpass filtering portion 212.
Process management portion 211 plays a role as instruction unit, image obtaining section and correction data generating unit.Specifically, process management portion 211 carries out following processing, that is, the signal that is input to liquid crystal panel 10 is controlled, and according to the output image data that is shown on the liquid crystal panel 10, calculated correction value.
Bandpass filtering portion 212 generates the logical data of band of having deleted mild variation composition and fine variation composition from the output image data that video camera 30 is obtained.That is, bandpass filtering portion 212 only isolates the bandpass filtering of intermediate frequency.
(correction data generates and handles)
Then, use Fig. 2, illustrate that correction data generates processing.
At this, each predetermined gray scale is generated the image rectification table that is used to suppress to show inequality.Specifically, the corrected value that each predefined gray scale (benchmark gray scale) is calculated on the liquid crystal panel 10 distributes.In the present embodiment, in the signal value of representing with 8bit, use predetermined number (for example, 10 grades) benchmark gray scale changes 1 grade ground of adjustment object gray scale 1 grade corresponding with the benchmark gray scale successively, each is adjusted the object gray scale generate the image rectification table.
At first, in step S 1, the control part 21 of image quality adjusting gear 20 is carried out test pattern and is generated processing.Specifically, the process management portion 211 of control part 21 is to test pattern generating apparatus 40 indication output rgb signals, and this rgb signal is used to adjust the output of object image gray.At this, in adjusting the object gray scale, whole of liquid crystal panel 10 used R signal value, G signal value, rgb signal (common signal value) that the B signal value is identical.According to this indication, test pattern generating apparatus 40 will supply to liquid crystal panel 10 as the rgb signal of the 8bit that adjusts the object gray scale.
And liquid crystal panel 10 is according to the rgb signal input, and the gray image of object gray scale is adjusted in output.Under this situation, there is the liquid crystal cell thickness ununiformity on the liquid crystal or under the situation that has brightness disproportionation on the backlight, on liquid crystal panel 10, producing these uneven overlapping demonstration inequalities that causes.At this, 30 pairs in video camera is overlapping shows that uneven image takes.
And in step S2, the control part 21 of image quality adjusting gear 20 is carried out the processing that obtains of output image.Specifically, the process management portion 211 of control part 21 obtains from video camera 30 liquid crystal panel 10 is taken the output image data that obtains.And it is the Luminance Distribution of unit that process management portion 211 converts this output image data to constitute with 8 * 8 pixels module, supplies to bandpass filtering portion 212.
Then, in step S3, the control part 21 of image quality adjusting gear 20 is carried out bandpass filtering treatment.Specifically, 212 pairs of output image datas of obtaining of the bandpass filtering portion of control part 21 carry out bandpass filtering, thereby calculate the logical data of band.This is with the interior Luminance Distribution of the logical data and the face of liquid crystal panel 10 corresponding, is made of the distribution of having removed radio-frequency component and low-frequency component.And the logical data of the band that bandpass filtering portion 212 will generate supply to process management portion 211.
Then, in step S4, the control part 21 of image quality adjusting gear 20 is carried out correction value and is handled.Specifically, process management portion 211 generations of control part 21 will be with the image rectification table of logical data reversal.In addition, process management portion 211 is mapped the identifier of image rectification table and the benchmark gray scale that is used for determining using in the image quality adjustment and stores in the storer temporarily.
And the control part 21 of image quality adjusting gear 20 is adjusted the object gray scale to next and is repeated above-mentioned processing.
Under the situation of whole benchmark gray scales having been finished correction data calculating, the control part 21 of image quality adjusting gear 20 is carried out ROM and is write processing in step S5.Specifically, the image rectification table that will temporarily store of the process management portion 211 of control part 21 is written to ROM 51.Thus, in ROM 51,, the module position in the face of liquid crystal panel 10 (xy coordinate) is write down the distribution of corrected value at each benchmark gray scale.
(image display process)
And the ROM 51 that generates accordingly with this liquid crystal panel 10 is gone in correcting circuit 50 by group.This correcting circuit is the circuit that is used to adjust the picture signal that supplies to liquid crystal panel 10.Specifically, the picture signal (rgb signal) that is used for display image on liquid crystal panel 10 is fed into liquid crystal panel 10 and correcting circuit 50.
As shown in Figure 3, except ROM 51, also possess the interpolation portion 52 of selection and addition portion 53 in the correcting circuit 50.
Select interpolation portion 52 to the image rectification table of each rgb signal reference record in ROM 51.At this, selection interpolation portion 52 obtains the corrected value (2 * 4=8) by 4 module grid points decisions of the location of pixels (xy coordinate) that surrounds picture signal in two benchmark image gray table of corrections adjacent with each rgb signal value of picture signal.And, select interpolation portion 52 according to the signal value of picture signal and the distance between each grid point, obtained corrected value is carried out linear interpolation.
And addition portion 53 will be added on the picture signal that is transfused to from the corrected value of selecting interpolation portion 52 to obtain.Liquid crystal panel 10 is obtained this and has been carried out the picture signal of proofreading and correct, display image.
According to present embodiment, can access following advantage.
In the present embodiment, correcting circuit 50 possesses ROM 51, selects interpolation portion 52 and addition portion 53.Record among this ROM 51 by the uneven image rectification table that generates of the demonstration in the image that photographs by video camera 30.Show that inequality is to produce because of the brightness of each pixel is different with ideal value, so, just can show inequality thereby remove according to the input picture value of this each pixel of offset correction as long as determine the brightness of each pixel and the deviation between the ideal value in advance.
In the present embodiment, among the ROM 51 each benchmark Grey Scale Recording there is the image rectification table.Even same pixel shows that uneven generation is also non-constant with respect to input level.For example following variation can take place, promptly show the pixel of 19% grey when having imported 20% grey, show 51% grey in 50% grey, show 83% grey in 80% grey.Among the ROM 51 each benchmark Grey Scale Recording there is the image rectification table, so can carry out the correction corresponding with the signal value of each pixel.
In the present embodiment, use and carried out the distribution of bandpass filtering, generate the image rectification table.Thus, change, do not proofread and correct for brightness slowly.The inequality of liquid crystal self is about 5% below 1% in the time of many only, with respect to this, when the limb darkening of backlight more for a long time, be about 30%.If when the state of not removing low-frequency component (low by) is proofreaied and correct complete white (100% grey) image down, be subjected to the influence of limb darkening, cause near the brightness decline the central part of liquid crystal panel 10.
In this case, human eye is difficult to detect the mild light quantity variation of picture integral body.Therefore, carry out timing under the state that ends not hanging down, the brightness that human eye can only be experienced liquid crystal panel 10 descends.
And human eye is difficult to detect very tiny demonstration inequality (radio-frequency component).In addition, very tiny demonstration inequality is carried out timing, need correctly obtain the relevant of the location of pixels measured between image and the liquid crystal,, also can produce on the contrary and show inequality even little deviation is only arranged.Therefore, by removing radio-frequency component (high by), thus can be simply and generate the image rectification table effectively.
And above-mentioned embodiment can carry out following change.
In the above-described embodiment, using B to carry out brightness disproportionation proofreaies and correct.The demonstration inequality that suppresses object is not limited to brightness, and above-mentioned embodiment can also be applied to the correction of irregular colour.Under the situation that brightness disproportionation and irregular colour both sides are proofreaied and correct, use the optical filter of RGB 3 looks, obtain output image by image pickup part respectively.And, each image is carried out above-mentioned bandpass filtering treatment (step S3), correction value processing (step S4), thus calculated correction value.And, make 3 kinds of image rectification tables that the R signal is used, the G signal is used, the B signal is used, record among the ROM 51.Thus, can proofread and correct, thereby suppress irregular colour the RGB data value of input picture.
In the above-described embodiment, each the signal value uniform images that makes RGB is estimated the correcting luminance inequality.Under the situation of correction of color inequality, also can not use optical filter, but monochromatic R signal, G signal, B signal are supplied to liquid crystal panel 10 respectively independently, handle (step S4) and generate the image rectification table by the obtain processing (step S2), bandpass filtering treatment (step S3), correction value of output image.
In the above-described embodiment, apply the present invention to the inhibition of the demonstration inequality of liquid crystal panel 10, but the display panel of adjustment object is not limited thereto.Image rectification of the present invention can also be applied in the image output devices such as plasma display (PDP), projector.
In the above-described embodiment, each liquid crystal panel 10 execution test patterns generation processing (step S1)~ROM that adjust object is write processing (step S5).Be alternative in this, also can carry out test pattern and generate processing (step S1)~correction value processing (step S4), thereby calculate the representative corrected value the representative display panel of adjusting object.And, in this modification, can also make having write the ROM that represents corrected value, group is gone in correcting circuit 50.
For example, in representing liquid crystal panel, under the situation that the brightness disproportionation that light source (backlight) is caused (showing uneven) is proofreaied and correct, can use above-mentioned modification.In liquid crystal panel, reduce the lamp number of backlight, or remove diffusion sheet, or shorten under the situation of the distance between scatter plate and the lamp, can produce the brightness disproportionation that causes by backlight.By in this liquid crystal panel that has produced the brightness disproportionation that causes by backlight, using above-mentioned modification, can suppress to show uneven.Its result, the quantity by cutting down lamp etc. reduce the number of components that constitutes display panel, thereby can make high-quality display panel when realizing that cost reduces.And, to cut down under the quantity situation of lamp, the light quantity of backlight reduces, but by removing optical sheet etc., or the distance between lamp and the scatter plate of furthering, thereby can keep uniform brightness when adjusting light quantity.
