2. the explanation of embodiment
Then, be described in further detail embodiment.
At the whole accompanying drawings that are used for illustrating embodiment,, and omit its explanation repeatedly in principle with part mark prosign.
In general, when the view data of compression rest image, there are two as representational compression method.At first, first method is to use the method for orthogonal transformation and entropy coding, compresses according to block scheme shown in Figure 2.Another kind method is to be called as BTC (Blocktruncation coding: method block truncation coding).Each method of following simple declaration.
At first, the use orthogonal transformation method shown in Figure 2 and the method for entropy coding are described.In Fig. 2, the 201st, carry out the piece of color space transformation.In general, the display device drive circuit of liquid crystal driver etc. is accepted display image with rgb format from CPU.Therefore the RGB form and aspect are to repeat more form in color space, repeat less color space between general operation parameter when compression is handled.For example propose to have the color space of various compression usefulness such as YUV, YCbCr, YCoCg.Therefore the kind of the color space that compresses does not influence the application, uses that color space can arbitrarily.In color space transformation circuit 201, the RGB data conversion become the compression color space data.
The 202nd, orthogonal intersection inverter.Display image is divided into the piece of 4 pixels * 4 pixels, 8 pixels * 8 pixels, 16 pixels * 16 pixels etc. in orthogonal intersection inverter, carries out computing with orthogonal transform matrix, the color data that will spatially dispose is divided into low-frequency component and radio-frequency component thus.Radio-frequency component generally becomes less value, utilizes this situation to carry out data compression.As orthogonal transformation, the Wavelet of the DCT that Hadamard transform (Hadamard transform) is arranged, in MPEG, JPEG etc., use, use in JPEG2000 etc. etc.In addition, the size of the orthogonal matrix of orthogonal transformation also is various matrixes such as 4 * 4,8 * 8,16 * 16.The kind of these orthogonal transformations can be used kind arbitrarily to not influence of the present invention.
The 203rd, sample circuit.The value that will obtain by orthogonal transformation is divided by constant, thereby the value of making diminishes.This constant is called quantization parameter.
The 204th, entropy coding circuit.Entropy coding is the coded system that is distributed into the different coding of code length according to the probability of occurrence of numerical value.In general, the probability that radio-frequency component is obtained 0,1 equivalent less value is very big, therefore carries out entropy coding, by with probability of occurrence the highest 0 be assigned as 1 coding, therefore can cut down data volume and compress.As entropy coding, Huffman (Huffman) coding, Exp-Golomb coding etc. are arranged.The kind of these entropy codings does not influence the present invention, thereby can use any coding.
The 205th, storer writes controll block.In this piece,, carry out data compression thus by with record in the coded set of variable-length and in storer.
Then, with reference to Figure 11, Figure 12 BTC is described.In BTC, with 4 * 4,8 * 8 equidimensions display image is carried out blocking, and compress.At first as shown in Figure 11, in blocking circuit 1101, display image is carried out blocking.For example can consider to be divided into the piece of 4 pixels * 4 pixels.For example in certain piece, the R value of getting in the rgb signal is 1201 such values.Extract in the circuit 1102 in typical value, extract typical value.The extracting method of typical value proposes to have various extracting method.Following method is for example arranged: as threshold value, the mean value of the mean value of value that will be bigger than threshold value and the value littler than threshold value extracts as typical value with the mean value of piece integral body.Like this, extract typical value 1202 and typical value 1203.For example, the typical value with this moment is taken as 16 and 227.In pixel distributor circuit 1103, the mean value of integral body as threshold value, shown in 1204, is assigned as 0 or 1 with the value of the R of each pixel.Data for G, B are carried out conversion similarly.For example each pixel value of R with 8 situations about showing under, by carrying out such conversion, two typical values are 8 * 2=16 position, each pixel is distributed into 16, therefore can show 32 after the compression.Be 8 * 16=128 position before the compression, therefore can be compressed to 1/4.During expansion, shown in 1205,0 or 1 value of each pixel is replaced with typical value.Thus, compress with BTC.By increasing the number of typical value, the image quality after the expansion is improved, and compressibility reduces.
The compression algorithm of general rest image has such two kinds.In general, the compression method of combination orthogonal transformation and entropy coding is suitable for that the display image inward flange is less, the image of display image smooth change.In addition, BTC is suitable for the less image of number of colors (color category).
[embodiment 1]
Then, describe embodiment 1 in detail.Fig. 1 is the block scheme of the display device of embodiments of the present invention 1.The 100th, the display device of mobile phone etc., the 101st, the display device drive circuit of liquid crystal driver etc., the 102nd, the CPU (central processing unit) of display device integral body such as control mobile phone, the 103rd, the storer of storage video data etc., the 104th, internal bus, the 105th, the display panel that shows by display device drive circuit 101 drivings.Display panel can be any panel so long as display panels such as liquid crystal panel, organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) panel, PDP (PlasmaDisplay Panel), FED (Field Emission Display) panel, electronic paper get final product.
106 comprise the unshowned registers group that is used for being undertaken by CPU102 the setting of various patterns, and are the input/output interface circuits from CPU102 or storer 103 reception video datas.The 107th, a register in the registers group that has in this input/output interface circuit is the compressibility set-up register of the compressibility of the video data that uses in the video data compressor circuit that illustrates after being set in.The 108th, input buffer.In general, from the transmission of the video data of CPU is that a behavior unit with horizontal direction transmits, piece with 4 * 4,8 * 8,16 * 16 etc. in orthogonal transformation is that unit transmits, and therefore need hold the input buffers of 4 * 2 row, 8 * 2 row or 16 * 2 row in advance.The 109th, the video data compressor circuit.In this block scheme, the data after the compression video data also will compress write in the frame memory 110.
The 111st, the video data expanded circuit, to the carrying out of from frame memory, reading the video data of compression expand, and transfer to output buffer 112.Usually the expansion of data be with the unit of orthogonal transformation promptly the piece of 4 pixels * 4 pixels, 8 pixels * 8 pixels, 16 pixels * 16 pixels etc. be that unit carries out, therefore wait accumulates the data of delegation and exports to DA (digital simulation) converter 113 in output buffer 112, and to display panel 105 outputs.At this, under the situation of the control device drive unit of the panel of controlling with aanalogvoltage for liquid crystal panel etc., be DA converter 113, but also can consider the display panel of current drives, pulsed drive etc.DA converter 113 changes according to the type of drive of display panel 105, to convert the piece of circuit function of the mode that can drive display panel to just passable so long as have digital value with display pixel, the circuit block of DA converter 113 changes to the circuit block with other functions, to the present invention also not influence.
Then, describe circuit structure in the video data compressor circuit 109 in detail with reference to Fig. 3.The video data compressor circuit 109 of Fig. 3 is to use the compression method of orthogonal transformation and entropy coding, and it is identical with circuit shown in Figure 2 that color space transformation circuit 201, orthogonal intersection inverter 202, sample circuit 203, entropy coding circuit 204, storer write control circuit 205.Video data compressor circuit 109 is compared with compressor circuit shown in Figure 2, has the long fallout predictor 301 of coding, the long decision-making circuit 302 of target code, quantization parameter decision-making circuit 303.The long decision-making circuit 302 of target code is the preceding data volumes of compression that multiply by an amount with (setting value of 1-compressibility set-up register 107), calculates the long circuit of coding of an amount that becomes target.The long fallout predictor 301 of encoding is circuit that the coding of an amount behind the entropy coding when calculating with the data of predetermined a plurality of quantization parameters after divided by orthogonal transformation, corresponding with separately quantization parameter is grown.Quantization parameter decision-making circuit 303 is according to the output of the long fallout predictor 301 of coding, the output that selection does not exceed the long decision-making circuit 302 of target code is among the long coding length of target code, long with minimum quantization parameter corresponding codes, and exports the circuit of its quantization parameter.The quantization parameter that is used in decision in the quantization parameter decision-making circuit 303 carries out division arithmetic in sample circuit 203, and quantizes.Quantization parameter is generally in entropy coding is stored in storer.
By constituting compressor circuit like this, can carry out the compression of video data with the compressibility of in the compressibility set-up register, setting.
Then, describe circuit structure in the video data expanded circuit 111 in detail with reference to Fig. 4.Read control part 401 at storer, multiply by data volume before the compression of an amount with (setting value of 1-compressibility set-up register 107), to calculate the coding of an amount long, reads the data of growing for the coding that the video data decoding of an amount is calculated.Then, entropy coding is transformed into the numeric data of fixed length in contrary entropy coding circuit 402, in inverse quantization circuit 403, the numeric data of exporting with contrary entropy coding circuit 402 multiply by quantization parameter and carries out re-quantization.In inverse orthogonal transform circuit 404, multiply by the inverse matrix of orthogonal matrix, in contrary color space transformation circuit 405, become the RGB color space with colour space transformation from data compression.By being made as this structure, can expand the video data that has carried out compression with the compressibility of in the compressibility set-up register, setting.
By being made as this structure, can be in present embodiment 1 with the corresponding compressibility write store of setting with CPU of compressibility.For example, CPU shows on display panel 105 when the image taken with digital camera etc. has the image of smoothness properties, by setting the value of compressibility set-up register 107 bigger, can increase compressibility, reduction writes the data volume of frame memory, thereby reduces power consumption.In addition, under the situation of dynamic images such as display video image, for dynamic image, the image quality deterioration is so not eye-catching, therefore sets the value of compressibility set-up register 107 bigger, thereby can increase compressibility, reduction writes the data volume of frame memory, reduces power consumption.
On the contrary, on display panel 105, show when UI image etc. has the image at a lot of trickle edges, set the value of compressibility set-up register 107 less, and increase the data volume that writes frame memory.Can prevent the image quality deterioration thus, make image quality after the expansion remain on certain more than.
This compressibility set-up register might not be set numerical value.For example also compressibility can be defined as a plurality of fixed values, for example one of them be made as the UI pattern, another is set at dynamic image, natural image pattern.
[embodiment 2]
