Embodiment

(execution mode 1)

Below, an embodiment of the invention are described.In the present embodiment, mainly be to proofread and correct as example take strip that the bearing of trend with source electrode line (data wire, data signal line) that occurs on the display unit is paralleled uneven (brightness disproportionation of strip) to describe, this display unit such as possess for movable-type devices such as portable phones based on the transmissive liquid crystal display device that shows with 6 bits performance RGB view data of all kinds.But applicable object of the present invention is not limited to this.

Fig. 2 is the structured flowchart of the correction data implementing device 10 of expression present embodiment.As shown in the drawing, correction data implementing device 10 comprises demonstration data generating unit 11, shoot part 12, brightness data extraction unit 13, mobile horizontal homogenizing handling part 14, brightness disproportionation test section 15 and correction data generating unit 16.

Show that data generating unit 11 generates for the demonstration data that show at this display floater having or not brightness disproportionation to check on the display floater 21 (check and use view data), and will show that data output to the drive control part 22 of display floater 21.Generally speaking, during the image (the especially image of Dark grey) of GTG, identify easily brightness disproportionation in the middle of on whole picture, showing with identical GTG.Therefore, in the present embodiment, in order to detect brightness disproportionation, show that it is the view data of gray scale image in the middle of all showing with same gray level be used to all pixels that make display floater that data generating unit 11 generation inspections are used view data, this inspection view data.

12 pairs of display floaters 21 of shoot part (filming apparatus), show with showing the inspection that data generating unit 11 generates and take with the display frame of the corresponding image of view data, and obtain photographed data.As shoot part 12, such as using CCD(charge-coupled device: electric charge coupling) camera and CMOS(complementary metal-oxide semiconductor: complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS)) imageing sensor etc.

Brightness data extraction unit 13 is extracted brightness data from the obtained photographed data of shoot part 12.

Zone in the brightness data that extracts for brightness data extraction unit 13, corresponding with the source electrode line of above-mentioned display frame (perhaps, parallel and have the zone of preset width with the bearing of trend of source electrode line) in the set of pixel be the line pixel group, mobile horizontal homogenizing handling part (the 1st mobile horizontal homogenizing handling part) 14 calculates the mean value of the brightness of each pixel that this line pixel group comprises, and with the brightness value of this mean value as this line pixel group.Perhaps, mobile horizontal homogenizing handling part 14 is processed (processing of the 1st mobile horizontal homogenizing) by carrying out the mobile horizontal homogenizing, namely, the neighboring area that the brightness value of above-mentioned each line pixel group is replaced to the preset range that comprises this line pixel group (for example, centered by this line pixel group and with width on the perpendicular direction of the bearing of trend of this line pixel group, be the zone of 3mm) mean value of the brightness value of each pixel of being comprised, calculate mobile horizontal homogenizing data.Below, will carry out the mobile horizontal homogenizing and process the brightness value of each pixel after (processing of the 1st mobile horizontal homogenizing) and be referred to as moving average (the 1st moving average).

Solid line among Fig. 3 is the curve of the brightness value of each line pixel group of calculating of the brightness data that extracts according to brightness data extraction unit 13 of expression, and dotted line is the curve of moving average of the brightness value of above-mentioned each the line pixel group of expression.Above-mentioned rolling average value representation is the brightness of even state invariably, is easily to be identified as the locality brightness disproportionation and will to result from the brightness value that obtains after the milder brightness disproportionations such as brightness disproportionation of backlight are removed in order to extract.In addition, in Fig. 4, solid line represents to deduct above-mentioned moving average in the brightness value of each the line pixel group from Fig. 3, add the state of the mean value (average brightness that display frame is all) of panel luminance, be that expression has been removed and resulted from the curve of brightness value after the impact that the milder brightness disproportionation of variation such as brightness disproportionation of backlight causes, each line pixel group, dotted line is the curve that represents the mean value of panel luminance.At this, the abscissa of above-mentioned each curve represents the position of each line pixel group, and ordinate represents the brightness value (mean value of the brightness value of the pixel in each line pixel group) of each line pixel group.

Brightness value and the moving average thereof of each line pixel group that brightness disproportionation test section (the 1st brightness disproportionation test section) 15 extracts from photographed data according to brightness data extraction unit 13 detect the zone that brightness disproportionation has occured.

Particularly, brightness disproportionation test section 15 calculates, calculate poor between the brightness value of each the line pixel group in the brightness data that brightness data extraction unit 13 extracts and its moving average from photographed data, if the absolute value of the difference that calculates is for more than the predetermined threshold value, just with the formed zone of the set of this line pixel group, detect as brightness disproportionation.Namely, the moving average of the brightness value of each line pixel group is considered as appropriate brightness value in brightness disproportionation does not occur this each line pixel group the situation, and compare by the brightness value to this appropriate brightness value and each line pixel group, detect the zone of brightness disproportionation.According to above-mentioned, can remove the impact of backlight etc., thereby can detect rightly brightness disproportionation.

That is, on transmissive liquid crystal display device, for the irradiation light that makes backlight shines on the display floater equably, generally all be provided with diffuser plate etc., but be difficult to realize completely homogenizing.Therefore, according to the relative position with respect to backlight, difference appears in the brightness of the irradiation light of backlight sometimes.But, take to the relative position of backlight as because of Luminance Distribution in the wide scope of display floater, be milder variation (with reference to the gradient of the dotted line part among Fig. 3), therefore, its situation that is identified as brightness disproportionation is less.That is, what the people can identify brightness disproportionation by eyes is that the situation that larger brightness changes occurs locally, and for brightness spatially with larger cycle continually varying situation, be difficult for being identified as brightness disproportionation.Therefore, it is less that the luminance difference that causes of the Luminance Distribution of the irradiation light of backlight is identified as the situation of brightness disproportionation.

On the other hand, when if the brightness value of not considering the impact of backlight and the appropriate zone of brightness disproportionation will not occuring is considered as keeping a predetermined value in the whole zone of display frame, the anti-situation that but is detected as brightness disproportionation in zone of brightness disproportionation can occur not to be identified as, and the zone of identified brightness disproportionation is detected as the situation in appropriate zone.That is it is different because of the position on the display floater, the brightness value (appropriate brightness value) in the appropriate zone of brightness disproportionation not occur.

To this, in the present embodiment, the brightness data that is extracted for brightness data extraction unit 13 by mobile horizontal homogenizing handling part 14 carries out the processing of mobile horizontal homogenizing, and with the moving average of each line image group's brightness value, be the brightness value (appropriate brightness value) in the situation in appropriate zone as this each luminance picture group.According to above-mentioned, after the impact that the Luminance Distribution of the irradiation light of removing backlight causes, for easily be identified as brightness disproportionation, brightness is than the zone that neighboring region sharply changes, can simply it be identified as brightness disproportionation.

At this, the scope that averages in processing about the mobile horizontal homogenizing (namely, with the scope on the perpendicular direction of the bearing of trend of line pixel group), preferably, be set as on width fully the width greater than strip brightness disproportionation zone, and so that the difference of the brightness value of the locational irradiation light of each in backlight shines this scope fully less than the scope of the brightness value the brightness disproportionation zone with the difference of appropriate brightness value.Specifically, on the display floater such as the hundreds of pixels that possess at mobile devices such as portable phones * hundreds of pixel degree, in the scope of above-mentioned scope preferred settings below the above 5mm of 1mm.In the present embodiment, adopted the display floater 21 of 360 pixels * 480 pixels, above-mentioned scope is 3mm.

Correction data generating unit (the 1st correction data generating unit) 16 is according to brightness disproportionation test section 15 detected brightness disproportionation information, generate to be used for that brightness disproportionation is become and to be difficult for identified correction data, and the correction data of this generation compressed export to display unit 20(drive control part 22 after processing).At this, if the difference of the peak value of the brightness value of the line pixel group that the brightness disproportionation zone comprises and appropriate brightness value namely is considered as not existing the strip brightness disproportionation less than fiducial value, can not make correction data.

In the present embodiment, as mentioned above, adopted the display unit 20 that shows according to 6 bits performance RGB view data of all kinds.On this low GTG display floater, if just merely regulate the GTG of display image data according to the brightness disproportionation testing result, the appropriately situation of correcting luminance inequality appears sometimes.Its reason is, on the display floater of 6 bit GTGs, be identified as the minimum value of deviation of brightness value of brightness disproportionation less than the brightness value suitable with 1 GTG of display image data, therefore, for example in order to proofread and correct dark brightness disproportionation, make data improve the timing of 1 GTG, will cause being identified as bright brightness disproportionation because correcting value is excessive.Otherwise, in order to proofread and correct bright brightness disproportionation, make data reduce the timing of 1 GTG, cause being identified as dark brightness disproportionation.

To this, even the correction data that the brightness disproportionation that 16 generations of correction data generating unit also can make this luminance deviation cause in the situation of luminance deviation less than the brightness value suitable with 1 GTG of view data with respect to appropriate brightness value becomes and is difficult for being identified.

Fig. 5 is the key diagram for the generation method of explanation correcting pattern.More specifically, make each pixel show that respectively its GTG value is 9,10,11 inspection view data, then take showing with the display floater 21 of the corresponding image of above-mentioned each GTG value, and extracting the brightness value of each line pixel group and the mean value of display floater brightness according to taking the photographed data obtain, Fig. 5 is the curve chart of the mean value of the brightness value of each line pixel group of this extraction of expression and display floater brightness.In Fig. 5, shown by carrying out the processing identical with Fig. 4 brightness value after the impact of the brightness disproportionation that the variations such as brightness disproportionation of backlight of resulting from are milder is removed, each line pixel.

In the brightness data that brightness disproportionation test section 15 will extract from photographed data, its brightness value is the part more than the predetermined threshold value with respect to the absolute value of the difference of appropriate brightness value, detect to be brightness disproportionation.Particularly, be that positive number and absolute value are the part more than the threshold value with above-mentioned difference, detect and be bright inequality, and be that negative and absolute value are the part more than the threshold value with above-mentioned difference, detect and be dark inequality.In the example of Fig. 5, part is detected as bright brightness disproportionation shown in C1, the C2, and the part shown in D1, the D2 is detected as dark brightness disproportionation.

Then, correction data generating unit 16 detects poor between the value of each brightness disproportionations part and the appropriate brightness value.In the example of Fig. 5, for brightness disproportionation C1, C2, D1, D2, poor c1, c2, d1, d2 have been detected respectively.

In addition, 16 couples of poor A of correction data generating unit and poor B detect, wherein, be made as poor A than the difference between the brightness value of the corresponding appropriate part of view data of the brightness value of the corresponding appropriate part of view data of high 1 GTG of benchmark GTG value and benchmark GTG value, the brightness value of the corresponding appropriate part of view data of benchmark GTG value and be poor B than the difference between the brightness value of the corresponding appropriate part of view data of low 1 GTG of benchmark GTG value.

Then, correction data generating unit 16 is for bright brightness disproportionation C1, C2, above-mentioned poor c1, the c2 that calculates this brightness disproportionation respectively with ratio c1/B and the c2/B of above-mentioned poor B, and for dark brightness disproportionation B1, B2, calculate the above-mentioned poor d1 of this brightness disproportionation and d2 respectively with ratio d1/A and the d2/A of above-mentioned poor A.

Then, the above-mentioned ratio of bright brightness disproportionation (c1/B, c2/B etc.) is in the situation below 1, correction data generating unit 16 generates the correction data that is used for the display image data of adjusting correction pixels is reduced by 1 GTG, this adjustments correction pixels be in the pixel of the line pixel group corresponding with bright brightness disproportionation, and the pixel of the corresponding ratio of above-mentioned ratio of this brightness disproportionation.

In addition, above-mentioned ratio (c1/B, c2/B etc.) surpasses in 1 the situation, correction data generating unit 16 generates and is used for so that the display image data of the pixel of the line pixel group corresponding with bright brightness disproportionation reduces the correction data (the 1st correction data generates and use data) with the corresponding GTG value of the integer part of above-mentioned ratio, and is used for so that further reduce the correction data (the 1st correction data generation data) of 1 GTG with the display image data of the pixel (adjustment correction pixels) of the corresponding ratio of fractional part of above-mentioned ratio.

Fig. 6 is the curve chart that expression has an example of the relation between the above-mentioned ratio of the position of bright brightness disproportionation and this each brightness disproportionation.

Correction data generating unit 16 is divided into groups to each brightness disproportionation zone according to above-mentioned ratio.For example, as shown in Figure 6, above-mentioned ratio is to be divided into correction intensity 1 more than 0.125 and less than 0.375 brightness disproportionation zone, above-mentioned ratio is to be divided into correction intensity 2 more than 0.375 and less than 0.625 brightness disproportionation zone, above-mentioned ratio is to be divided into correction intensity 3 more than 0.625 and less than 0.875 brightness disproportionation zone, above-mentioned ratio is to be divided into correction intensity 4 more than 0.875 and less than 1.125 brightness disproportionation zone, and above-mentioned ratio is to be divided into correction intensity 5 more than 1.125 and less than 1.375 brightness disproportionation zone.

At this, for the brightness disproportionation zone of correction intensity 1, be 0.25 depending on its above-mentioned ratio, make the correction data (the 1st correction data generates and uses data) that the GTG value that makes 1 pixel in per 4 pixels reduces by 1 GTG.Therefore for example, the value of the locational ck/B corresponding with the ck among Fig. 6 is 0.19, belongs to correction intensity 1, makes according to 1 ratio in per 4 to make the GTG value of 1 pixel in per 4 pixels reduce the correction data of 1 GTG.

In addition, for the brightness disproportionation zone of correction intensity 2, be 0.5 depending on its above-mentioned ratio, make the correction data that the GTG value that makes 1 pixel in per 2 pixels reduces by 1 GTG.Therefore for example, the value of the locational cn/B corresponding with the cn among Fig. 6 is 0.44, belongs to correction intensity 2, makes according to 1 ratio in per 2 to make the GTG value of 1 pixel in per 2 pixels reduce the correction data of 1 GTG.

In addition, for the brightness disproportionation zone of correction intensity 3, be 0.75 depending on its above-mentioned ratio, make the correction data that the GTG value that makes 3 pixels in per 4 pixels reduces by 1 GTG.Therefore for example, the value of the locational cl/B corresponding with the cl among Fig. 6 is 0.80, belongs to correction intensity 3, makes according to 3 ratio in per 4 to make the GTG value of 3 pixels in per 4 pixels reduce the correction data of 1 GTG.

In addition, for the brightness disproportionation zone of correction intensity 4, be 1 depending on its above-mentioned ratio, make the correction data that the GTG value that makes each pixel all reduces by 1 GTG.

In addition, brightness disproportionation zone for correction intensity 5, be 1.25 depending on its above-mentioned ratio, make the GTG value that makes each pixel and reduce by 1 GTG, and make the GTG value of 1 pixel in per 4 pixels further reduce the correction data of 1 GTG (totally 2 GTGs) according to 1 ratio in per 4.For example, the value of the locational cm/B corresponding with the cm among Fig. 6 is 1.29, therefore belong to correction intensity 5, make the GTG value that makes each pixel and all reduce by 1 GTG, and make the GTG value of 1 pixel in per 4 pixels further reduce the correction data of 1 GTG according to 1 ratio in per 4.

In addition, surpass in 1 the situation at above-mentioned ratio (c1/B, c2/B etc.), correction data generating unit 16 also can with more than 2 and the severals n except calculating the result that can obtain below 1 come above-mentioned ratio remove calculations, then generate so that with the correction data of the display image data reduction n GTG of the above-mentioned pixel (adjustment correction pixels) of removing the corresponding ratio of calculation result.For example, for the brightness disproportionation zone that belongs to correction intensity 5 shown in Figure 6, be 1.25(=5/4 depending on its above-mentioned ratio), calculate with n=2 and remove the value (5/4 ÷ 2=5/8) of calculating, and according to this except calculating the result, make according to 5 ratio in per 8 and make 5 pixels in 8 pixels reduce the correction data of 2 GTGs.

About dark brightness disproportionation, (d1/A, d2/A etc.) are in the situation below 1 at above-mentioned ratio, correction data generating unit 16 generates correction datas, this correction data be used for so that the pixel of the pixel of the line pixel group corresponding with dark brightness disproportionation and the corresponding ratio of above-mentioned ratio of this brightness disproportionation, display image data improves 1 GTG.

In addition, surpass in 1 the situation at above-mentioned ratio (d1/A, d2/A etc.), correction data generating unit 16 generates correction datas, this correction data so that the display image data of the pixel of the line pixel group corresponding with dark brightness disproportionation improve with GTG value corresponding to the integer part of above-mentioned ratio and so that with further raising 1 GTG of the display image data of the pixel (adjustment correction pixels) of the corresponding ratio of fractional part of above-mentioned ratio.

In addition, under above-mentioned ratio (d1/A, d2/A etc.) surpasses 1 situation, correction data generating unit 16 also can with 2 or more and can obtain 1 below except the severals n that calculate the result to above-mentioned ratio remove calculate and generation so that remove the correction data of display image data raising n GTG of the pixel of the corresponding ratio of calculation result with this.

Although not showing above-mentioned ratio among Fig. 6 is the situation more than 1.375, also can adopt method same as described above in the situation more than 1.375, each luminance area is divided into groups and makes and correction data that each brightness disproportionation zone is corresponding.In addition, the scope of the above-mentioned ratio corresponding with each group also is not limited in example shown in Figure 6.

That is to say, for example under above-mentioned ratio is situation below 1, be larger brightness disproportionation zone in poor (with the deviation of appropriate brightness value) with respect to appropriate brightness value, the shared ratio of pixel of carrying out 1 gray scale correction for display image data becomes large (density of carrying out the pixel of 1 gray scale correction for display image data becomes large), and be less brightness disproportionation zone in poor (with the deviation of appropriate brightness value) with respect to appropriate brightness value, the shared ratio of pixel of carrying out 1 gray scale correction for display image data diminish (density of carrying out the pixel of 1 gray scale correction for display image data diminishes).Fig. 7 is that to be illustrated in above-mentioned ratio in the correction data be in the situation below 1, carries out the key diagram of example of the pixel of 1 gray scale correction for display image data.

For example, in the situation of c1/B=1/3, generate the pixel data that is used for the pixel on the source electrode line corresponding with brightness disproportionation C1 of display image data, carry out along the bearing of trend of source electrode line 1 pixel in per 3 pixels being reduced the correction data (be to be illustrated in all pixel counts that are connected with the source electrode line of calibration object, adjust the correction data of correction pixels proportion) of 1 gray scale correction.In addition, in the situation of d1/A=1/3, generate to be used for the pixel data to the pixel on the source electrode line corresponding with brightness disproportionation D1 of display image data, to carry out along the bearing of trend of source electrode line 1 pixel in per 3 pixels being improved the correction data of 1 gray scale correction.

In addition, can be the integer position, 1 or more of expression brightness disproportionation according to above-mentioned ratio ci/B(i) or above-mentioned ratio dj/A(j be the integer position, more than 1 that represents brightness disproportionation) size, the brightness disproportionation degree (degree that namely differs with appropriate brightness value) of judging each brightness disproportionation zone belongs to which group in predefined a plurality of groups, and organize predefined value according to this judged result and for each, come set and display with the ratio of the adjustment correction pixels in the view data (also can say so, adjust the interval between the correction pixels).

In addition, the value that ci/B or dj/A has been described in above-mentioned example and the ratio of adjusting correction pixels are the situation of identical value.But, be not limited to above-mentioned, for example can be according to ci/B or dj/A on duty with the predetermined in advance value that correction coefficient was obtained, set the ratio of adjusting correction pixels.In addition, can also set above-mentioned correction coefficient according to the GTG value of display image data.As mentioned above, brightness disproportionation is identified in middle GTG easily, and is difficult to be identified under approaching black or white show state.Therefore, the above-mentioned correction coefficient of middle GTG can be set for value greater than the above-mentioned correction coefficient that approaches black and white GTG.

As mentioned above, for example, above-mentioned correction data makes above-mentioned adjustment correction pixels improve the information structure that 1 pixel still reduces by 1 pixel by ratio (adjusting the correction pixels interval), the expression of the adjustment correction pixels in the source electrode line corresponding with brightness disproportionation (position of correcting area), this source electrode line.Surpass at above-mentioned ratio in the situation of 1 brightness disproportionation, except above-mentioned information, also comprise the correcting value (adjusting the correcting value of the pixel beyond the correction pixels) of the GTG value of each pixel that the zone corresponding with this brightness disproportionation comprises.Perhaps, surpass at above-mentioned ratio in the situation of 1 brightness disproportionation, be replaced in expression and make above-mentioned adjustment correction pixels improve the information that 1 GTG still reduces by 1 GTG, can comprise correcting value (value of said n) and the GTG value raising that expression makes this adjustment correction pixels or the information that reduces of the GTG value of above-mentioned adjustment correction pixels.

In the above description, correction data generating unit 16 only with the pixel in the detected brightness disproportionation zone as calibration object, but the present invention is not limited thereto, also can be to comprise that brightness disproportionation zone and neighboring area thereof (for example from the brightness disproportionation zone, apart from the scope of number pixel or the number mm degree) pixel in interior zone is as calibration object.That is, can be with the brightness disproportionation zone as correcting area, also can be with the zone that comprises brightness disproportionation zone and neighboring area thereof as correcting area.As mentioned above, by the neighboring area is also included within the correcting area, can so that the profile in brightness disproportionation zone thicken, thereby the brightness disproportionation zone is become more be difficult for identified.

In addition, and do not require and to proofread and correct all brightness disproportionation zones, can only proofread and correct a part of brightness disproportionation zone in the detected brightness disproportionation zone yet.For example, can according to the size in brightness disproportionation zone and the degree that differs with appropriate brightness value thereof etc., only the brightness disproportionation zone that is identified easily be extracted and be proofreaied and correct.

In addition, correction data generating unit 16 is made respectively paired R(Red: red), G(Green: green), B(Blue: the above-mentioned correction data of each secondary image element indigo plant).

At this, the correction data that also can only generate for the a kind of color (for example G) among R, G, the B also is common to other colors with this correction data.Because the situation that the brightness disproportionation of strip recurs in the zone of preset range is in the majority, therefore, compare to situation about generating respectively for R, G, B correction data of all kinds, when only a kind of color among R, G, the B being generated correction data and then this correction data is used for the secondary image element of other colors of its both sides, image quality does not almost change.In addition, by to R, G, the common correction data of B use of all kinds, than the situation that generates respectively correction data of all kinds, can reduce the required memory capacity of the correction data storage part that is used for the storage correction data that following display unit 20 possesses (the 1st correction data generates and uses data store) 31.　

Then, correction data generating unit 16 is compressed processing for the correction data that generates, and will compress the drive control part 22 that correction data after the processing outputs to display unit 20.At this, the method for processing for compression and the capacity of the correction data after the compression are not particularly limited, and the memory capacity of the correction data storage part 31 that can possess according to display unit 20 etc. is come suitable the setting.For example, can adopt the known methods such as existing stroke (run length) numeralization to compress processing.When carrying out run-length encoding, for example, if the correction data before the compression is 0010000000011 ..., the data after the numeralization just become [2,0] [1,1] [0,8] [1,2].Perhaps, omit 0 value, state [2] [1,1] [8] [1,2] as.

By correction data is compressed as described above, although the result is different because of compression method, can to possessing 360 pixels be arranged for example to store such as the very little memory capacity of 1kbit degree * correction data of the display unit of the display floater of 480 pixels.Therefore, as correction data storage part 31, can utilize these display unit the vacant zone of original memory.

Fig. 8 is the block diagram of the structure of the drive control part 22 that possesses of expression display unit 20.As shown in the drawing, drive control part 22 possesses correction data storage part (correction data generate use data store) 31, lsb decoder 32, spatial dispersion handling part 33, time dispersion treatment section 34, the handling part 35, the 1st that adds latchs section 36, the 2nd and latchs section 37 and D/A converter section 38.At this, by spatial dispersion handling part 33, time dispersion treatment the section 34 and handling part 35 composing images Data correction sections that add.

Correction data storage part 31 is be used to the nonvolatile memory that is stored in when making display unit 20 by the correction datas (the 1st correction data generation data) of correction data implementing device (correction data generates and use the data implementing device) 10 outputs.In the present embodiment, in correction data storage part 31, store correction data after compressing processing by correction data implementing device 10.

When display unit 20 will show the image corresponding with display image data by display floater 21, lsb decoder 32 read the correction data that correction data storage part 31 is stored, and this correction data decoded outputed to spatial dispersion handling part 33 afterwards.The memory capacity of correction data storage part 31 has in the vacant situation, when correction data storage part 31 carries out the storage of correction data, can omit by 16 pairs of compressions that correction data carries out of correction data generating unit and process.In the case, can omit lsb decoder 32.

Spatial dispersion handling part 33 is according to the correction data by lsb decoder 32 inputs, position for the adjustment correction pixels in each source electrode line corresponding with each brightness disproportionation zone is set, and this sets result's correction data to time dispersion treatment section 34 output expressions.Particularly, which pixel that decision will begin from the end of source electrode line is as adjusting correction pixels (deviant), and begins to be set as the adjustment correction pixels every the pixel of preset distance with this pixel and from this pixel.

At this, be brightness disproportionation zone below 1 for above-mentioned ratio, so that the GTG value of the adjustment correction pixels in this brightness disproportionation zone changes 1 GTG, and do not proofread and correct for other pixels.In addition, regional above 1 brightness disproportionation for above-mentioned ratio, so that the brightness value of each pixel in this brightness disproportionation zone change GTG value corresponding with the integer part of above-mentioned ratio, and so that the GTG value of the adjustment correction pixels in this brightness disproportionation zone further changes 1 GTG.In addition, surpass 1 brightness disproportionation zone for above-mentioned ratio, can change the GTG value corresponding with the value of said n so that adjust the adjusted value of correction pixels, and not proofread and correct for other pixels.

At this moment, spatial dispersion handling part 33 can make skew (offset) value automatically generate, only according to the pitch information that comprises in the correction data (represent every several pixel set the information of adjusting correction pixels), set on the source electrode line that need to proofread and correct, every the position of the adjustment correction pixels of predetermined space (pitch information).In such cases, owing to can from correction data, omit the data of relative offset value, therefore can further reduce the amount of information of correction data.And, automatically generate by making at random side-play amount, when the enterprising line scanning of source electrode line direction of display floater 21, can give different side-play amounts at every turn, therefore can become not obvious so that adjust correction pixels.

In addition, in the situation of brightness disproportionation across adjacent source electrode line, each can be adjusted correction pixels and be set in the adjustment correction pixels that makes on these adjacent source electrode lines on the source electrode line bearing of trend is different distributed locations.Fig. 9 is the figure that represents an example of correction data in such cases.

Time, dispersion treatment section 34 was according to the correction data from 33 inputs of spatial dispersion handling part, set the position of adjusting correction data in the mode that changes every the scheduled period (for example each frame), and represent this setting results' correction data to handling part 35 outputs that add.Fig. 1 is expression by the figure of an example of the time correction data set of dispersion treatment section 34.In the example shown in this figure, the time, dispersion treatment section 34 was in the certain situation of the ratio that keeps the adjustment correction pixels, so that the position (deviant) of the adjustment correction pixels in each frame changes at the bearing of trend of source electrode line.

At this, also can change spatial dispersion handling part 33 and time dispersion treatment section 34 order.That is can be from lsb decoder 32 to time dispersion treatment section 34 output calibration datas, again from time dispersion treatment section 34 structures to spatial dispersion handling part 33 output calibration datas.

Add handling part 35 by adding at the display image data that will be imported into display unit 20 by the time correction data exported of dispersion treatment section 34, proofread and correct with view data proofreading and correct thus, and the display image data after will proofreading and correct outputs to the 1st and latchs section 36.That is, in each pixel of display image data, for the shown adjustment correction pixels of correction data, the correction that makes the GTG value of display image data change at least 1 GTG (according to correction data, improve at least 1 GTG or reduce by 1 GTG) is processed.

Particularly, be brightness disproportionation zone below 1 for above-mentioned ratio, make the GTG value of adjusting correction pixels change 1 GTG, and do not proofread and correct for other pixel.In addition, surpass 1 brightness disproportionation zone for above-mentioned ratio, make the GTG value change GTG value corresponding with the integer part of above-mentioned ratio of this each pixel, and make the further change of GTG value 1 GTG of adjusting correction pixels.Perhaps, surpass 1 brightness disproportionation zone for above-mentioned ratio, can make the GTG value change GTG value corresponding with the value of said n of adjusting correction pixels, and not proofread and correct for other pixels.

As mentioned above, the add brightness value of each pixel of comprising at this correcting area of the correcting value of GTG value that each that only needs to comprise in the correcting area with display image data adjusted correcting value, each pixel except the adjustment correction pixels of the GTG value of correction pixels gets final product, therefore do not need to prepare multiplier and mlultiplying circuit etc., simply forming circuit.

The 1st latchs section 36 and the sampling pulse that generates based on clock signal synchronously, and the display image data after the correction that the handling part 35 that adds is exported is sampled successively, and pixel data corresponding to 1 line (1 gate line) latched.The 2nd latchs 37 pairs in section is latched the view data corresponding to 1 line that section 36 latchs by the 1st and latchs.

D/A converter section (digital-to-analog converter section) 38 will latch section 37 view data corresponding with 1 line that carried out latching by the 2nd and convert analog signal to, and at predetermined timing output each source electrode line to display floater 21.

Display floater 21 possesses a plurality of gate lines (scan signal line) and a plurality of source electrode line (data signal line), is respectively equipped with pixel (all not shown) in each that form, rectangular zone being divided by these gate lines and source electrode line.

Each pixel comprises switch transistor and pixel capacitance.Pixel capacitance comprises liquid crystal capacitance and as required and additional auxiliary capacitor (all not shown).Switch is connected with gate line with transistorized grid, and its source electrode is connected with source electrode line, and its drain electrode is connected with an electrode of pixel capacitance.At this, the common common electrode lines of another electrode of pixel capacitance and all pixels is connected.

According to above-mentioned, when selecting gate line by gate drivers (not shown), the switch transistor turns of each pixel that is connected with selecteed gate line, and, synchronously, the voltage that applies to each source electrode line from the D/A converter section 38 of drive control part 22 is applied in therewith on the corresponding pixel capacitance.

At this, between the selecting period of gate line after, switch with transistor cut-off during, the voltage when pixel capacitance keeps this cut-off.Owing to the transmissivity of liquid crystal or reflectivity along with the voltage that is applied on the liquid crystal capacitance changes, therefore, by selecting gate line and on source electrode line, applying the voltage corresponding with view data, the show state of pixel is changed with view data.

As mentioned above, the correction data implementing device 10 of present embodiment shows with the inspection of same GTG with the corresponding image of view data and take its display frame and obtain photographed data all pixels of display floater 21, and from photographed data, extract brightness data, from brightness data, extract again the brightness disproportionation of strip.Then, from with each pixel that the corresponding source electrode line of correcting area is connected, select with the pixel of the corresponding ratio of brightness disproportionation degree as adjusting correction pixels, this correcting area is the brightness disproportionation zone in the display image data or the zone that comprises this brightness disproportionation zone and neighboring area thereof.Then, generation be different from for the correcting value that makes the GTG value of adjusting correction pixels the pixel outside the adjustment correction pixels that this correcting area comprises the GTG value correcting value, correction data, and correction data storage part 31 these correction datas of storage that possess in display unit 20.

Next, when display unit 20 shows the image corresponding with display image data by display floater 21, select to adjust correction pixels according to the correction data of storing in the correction data storage part 31, and make the correcting value of GTG value of the adjustment correction pixels of selection be different from the correcting value of the GTG value of other pixels.

As mentioned above, the correcting value of the GTG value by making the adjustment correction pixels in the pixel that correcting area comprises is different from the correcting value of the GTG value of other pixels, can be so that be identified as, be same as the situation of the brightness value of all pixels of this correcting area being proofreaied and correct in the same manner with less than the brightness value of 1 GTG degree of display image data (fractional part that perhaps, is equivalent to display image data is not to be the brightness value of 0 GTG value).Namely, can be similar to, with the situation of in the same manner brightness value of all pixels of correcting area being proofreaied and correct less than the brightness value suitable with 1 GTG of display image data (fractional part that perhaps, is equivalent to display image data is not to be the brightness value of 0 GTG value).Therefore, correcting luminance is uneven accurately, can prevent from more rightly being regarded as brightness disproportionation.

Figure 10 is expression to showing the brightness data in the photographed data of taking with the display floater 21 under the state of the corresponding image of view data with the inspection of proofreading and correct processing and obtaining and processing that inspection is afterwards taken with the display floater 21 of the corresponding image of view data and the curve chart of brightness data in the photographed data that obtains to showing with proofreading and correct.Abscissa represents the position of each line pixel group, and ordinate represents the brightness value (mean value of brightness value that belongs to the pixel of above-mentioned each line pixel group) of each line pixel group.These curves show, according to the bearing calibration of present embodiment, image data correction can be become the degree that identification does not go out its strip brightness disproportionation.

In addition, in the present embodiment, every scheduled period (for example, each frame), the position of the adjustment correction pixels of each correcting area is changed.That is, in the brightness disproportionation zone, spatially with on the time position of adjusting correction pixels is disperseed.

According to above-mentioned, can be so that the image that is identified be more approaching the brightness value of all pixels in the brightness disproportionation zone changed in the same manner less than the image in the situation of the brightness value suitable with 1 GTG of display image data (perhaps, fractional part is not to be 0 GTG value).Therefore, can prevent more effectively that brightness disproportionation is identified.

In the present embodiment, in the correction data storage part 31 that display unit 20 possesses, pre-stored have: the information of the position in expression brightness disproportionation zone, the ratio of the adjustment correction pixels in this brightness disproportionation zone (is adjusted the correction pixels interval, pitch information) and expression above-mentioned adjustment correcting image improved 1 GTG at least or reduces the information of 1 GTG, when showing image according to display image data, the spatial dispersion handling part 33 that is possessed by display unit 20 and the time dispersion treatment section 34 decide spatially with on the time adjustment correction chart the position of image in the brightness disproportionation zone disperseed.According to above-mentioned, can reduce the data capacity of correction data, and can reduce the correction data storage part 31 required memory capacity that possess.

But, the present invention is not limited thereto, can also be in correction data implementing device 10 adjustment correction pixels when carrying out the demonstration of display image data preset, and correction pixels is respectively adjusted in storage in correction data storage part 31 position and expression are adjusted the information that correction pixels improves 1 GTG or reduces by 1 GTG with each.That is, with spatial dispersion handling part 33 and the time dispersion treatment section 34 be arranged in the correction data implementing device 10, rather than be arranged on display unit 20.In such cases, not only can simplify the circuit structure of display unit 20, the high speed of processing speed when the correction that can also realize display image data is processed.

In addition, the situation of proofreading and correct for the strip brightness disproportionation parallel with the bearing of trend of source electrode line has been described in the present embodiment.But the present invention is not limited thereto, and also can be used in the situation of proofreading and correct for the strip brightness disproportionation parallel with the bearing of trend of gate line.In such cases, for example, according to the brightness data that from photographed data, extracts, detect the mean value of the brightness value of the line pixel group corresponding with the bearing of trend of each gate line, for this testing result, carry out the rolling average processing perpendicular to the direction of line pixel group, and coming sensed luminance uneven according to result.In addition, testing result according to brightness disproportionation, from the gate line corresponding with the brightness disproportionation zone, select, to come thus view data is proofreaied and correct so that the GTG value of selected adjustment correction pixels changes 1 GTG at least as the pixel of adjusting correction pixels every predetermined space.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the brightness value that calculate each brightness disproportionation zone is during with respect to the deviation of appropriate brightness value, and the moving average of the brightness value of line pixel group is considered as appropriate mean value, calculates the deviation of above-mentioned brightness value.According to above-mentioned, even such as causing also can calculating simply rightly the brightness value in each brightness disproportionation zone with respect to the deviation of appropriate brightness value in the appropriate brightness value situation different with the position in the display frame in Luminance Distribution of the irradiation light of backlight etc.In addition, in the situation such as the corresponding appropriate brightness value in the position in precognition and the display frame, also can calculate the brightness value in each brightness disproportionation zone with respect to the deviation of appropriate brightness value according to appropriate brightness value.

(execution mode 2)

Below, other execution modes of the present invention are described.For simplicity, for execution mode 1 in parts with identical function of the parts of explanation give identical parts label, and the description thereof will be omitted.

The structure that the strip inequality is proofreaied and correct has been described in the execution mode 1.In the present embodiment, the topology example that the mottled inequality of locality (mottled inequality) is proofreaied and correct will be described.

Figure 11 is the block diagram of structure of the correction data implementing device 10b of expression present embodiment.As shown in the drawing, be replaced in mobile horizontal homogenizing handling part 14, brightness disproportionation test section 15 and the correction data generating unit 16 of correction data implementing device in the execution mode 1, correction data implementing device 10b comprises mobile horizontal homogenizing handling part 14b, brightness disproportionation test section 15b and correction data generating unit 16b.The function of explanation is roughly the same in the function of demonstration data generating unit 11, shoot part 12 and brightness data extraction unit 13 and the execution mode 1.

The brightness data that mobile horizontal homogenizing handling part 14b extracts from photographed data brightness data extraction unit 13 carries out the mobile horizontal homogenizing and processes (processing of the 2nd mobile horizontal homogenizing), the brightness value of each pixel is replaced to the mean value of the brightness value of each pixel that block was comprised with preliminary dimension centered by this each pixel, wherein, this photographed data is that 12 pairs of shoot parts show above-mentioned inspection view data (same GTG (benchmark GTG value, for example the GTG value is 10) view data) state under the display frame of display unit 20 take the photographed data that obtains.Below, will carry out the mobile horizontal homogenizing process after the brightness value of each pixel of (the 2nd mobile horizontal homogenizing process after) be referred to as moving average (the 2nd moving average).

At this, preferably above-mentioned preliminary dimension is set fully greater than the width in mottled brightness disproportionation zone, and can be so that belong in this predetermined size range everybody and be set up, from the difference of the brightness value of backlight irradiation light fully less than the deviation of the brightness value in the brightness disproportionation zone with respect to appropriate brightness value.Particularly, on the display floater of hundreds of pixels that the mobile devices such as portable phone possess * hundreds of pixels, preferably set into the scope of 2mm * 2mm～10mm * 10mm.In the present embodiment, use be the display floater 21 of 360 pixels * 480 pixels, above-mentioned scope is 5mm * 5mm.In addition, and do not require that the longitudinal direction length of above-mentioned preliminary dimension is identical with transverse direction length.

Brightness disproportionation test section (the 2nd brightness disproportionation test section) 15b calculates poor between the brightness value of each pixel of being extracted by brightness data extraction unit 13 and the moving average of this each pixel (the 2nd moving average), and the absolute value that will differ from is that the above continuous pixels of predetermined threshold has the above zone of predetermined number, detects to be mottled brightness disproportionation.In the situation of above-mentioned difference less than predetermined fiducial value, be considered as not existing mottled brightness disproportionation, can not make correction data (the 2nd correction data generates and uses data).In addition, can set aptly above-mentioned predetermined number according to the size of display unit and purposes etc., identified to prevent brightness disproportionation.

In addition, as shown in figure 12, brightness disproportionation test section 15b makes detected mottled each brightness disproportionation zone be approximated to border circular areas, is not particularly limited for its method, can adopt existing known the whole bag of tricks.

Correction data generating unit (the 2nd correction data generating unit) 16b is according to the testing result of brightness disproportionation test section 15, generation is for the correction data that mottled brightness disproportionation become be difficult for being identified (correction data generate generate use data with data, the 2nd correction data), and exports to the drive control part 22b that display unit 20b possesses after the correction data of generation compressed processing.

Particularly, approximate conglobate zone, the zone that correction data generating unit 16b makes brightness disproportionation test section 15b extract as brightness disproportionation, and calculate in the mean flow rate of each pixel in this zone and this zone brightness disproportionation does not occur the time appropriate brightness value (moving average of each pixel in for example should the zone) between poor.That is, in the present embodiment, for the capacity that reduces to store at following correction data storage part 31b, make mottled brightness disproportionation zone be approximately circular zone, and proofread and correct in the zone of the circle that obtains with identical correction intensity pairing approximation.Next, to above-mentioned poor e(e〉0) situation (situation of bright brightness disproportionation occurs) and f(f＜0) situation (situation of dark brightness disproportionation occurs) describe.

In addition, correction data generating unit 16b according to by brightness data extraction unit 13 from the brightness data of shoot part 12 by extracting the photographed data of taking display floater 21 and obtaining, calculate than the poor A between the corresponding appropriate GTG value of view data of the corresponding appropriate GTG value of the view data of high 1 GTG of benchmark GTG value and benchmark GTG value.At this, show that data generating unit 11 makes display floater 21 show and the image more corresponding than the view data of high 1 GTG of benchmark GTG value in its whole zone.In addition, correction data generating unit 16b according to by brightness data extraction unit 13 from the brightness data of shoot part 12 by extracting the photographed data of taking display floater 21 and obtaining, calculate the corresponding appropriate GTG value of view data of benchmark GTG value and than the poor B between the corresponding appropriate GTG value of view data of low 1 GTG of benchmark GTG value.At this, show that data generating unit 11 makes display floater 21 show and the image more corresponding than the view data of low 1 GTG of benchmark GTG value in its whole zone.

Then, for each zone that bright brightness disproportionation occurs, calculate the absolute value of above-mentioned e | the ratio of e| and above-mentioned B | e|/B.Above-mentioned ratio | e|/B is in the situation below 1, in order to proofread and correct this brightness disproportionation, the quantity (number) of adjusting correction pixels is set for, ratio and above-mentioned ratio between the quantity of the pixel that the number of adjusting correction pixels and above-mentioned each zone comprise | e|/B is corresponding, and makes the GTG value of the view data of this adjustment correction pixels reduce by 1 GTG.For example, for above-mentioned ratio | the value of e|/B is 1/3 zone, and the GTG value that generation will be contained in 1 pixel in per 3 pixels in this zone reduces the correction data of 1 GTG.

Equally, for each zone that dark brightness disproportionation is arranged, calculate the absolute value of above-mentioned f | the ratio of f| and above-mentioned A | f|/A.Above-mentioned ratio | f|/A is in the situation below 1, in order to proofread and correct this brightness disproportionation, the quantity of adjusting correction pixels is set for, ratio and above-mentioned ratio between the quantity of the pixel that the quantity of adjusting correction pixels and above-mentioned each zone comprise | f|/A is corresponding, and makes the GTG value of the view data of this adjustment correction pixels improve 1 GTG.For example, for above-mentioned ratio | the value of f|/A is 1/3 zone, and the GTG value that generation will be contained in 1 pixel in per 3 pixels in this zone improves the correction data of 1 GTG.

In addition, above-mentioned ratio (| e|/B, | f|/A etc.) surpass in 1 the situation, same with execution mode 1, each pixel for the zone corresponding with this ratio, carry out the correction of the GTG value corresponding with the integer part of above-mentioned ratio, and generate to be used for further carrying out the correction data of 1 gray scale correction with the display image data of the pixel (adjustment correction pixels) of the corresponding ratio of fractional part of above-mentioned ratio.Perhaps, surpass in 1 the situation at above-mentioned ratio (| e|/B, | f|/A etc.), with the several n more than 2 above-mentioned ratio is removed calculation, at this, above-mentioned ratio is below 1 divided by several n's except calculating the result, and generates correction data so that will improve the n GTG with this display image data except the pixel of calculating the corresponding ratio of result.

In addition, according to above-mentioned ratio | e|/B or above-mentioned ratio | the size of f|/A, (brightness value is with respect to the departure degree of appropriate brightness value to judge the brightness disproportionation degree of each block, correction intensity) belongs to predefined a plurality of groups which group in (for example 8 groups of correction intensity 1～8 shown in Figure 14), and organize predefined value according to judged result with to each, set the ratio of adjusting correction pixels.Perhaps, replace aforementioned proportion, the information of the classification results of expression group can be included in the correction data.

In the above description, correction data generating unit 16b only with the pixel in the detected brightness disproportionation zone as calibration object, but the present invention is not limited thereto, also can will comprise that brightness disproportionation zone and neighboring area thereof the scope of several pixels or number mm degree (for example, stretch out from the brightness disproportionation zone) pixel interior zone is as calibration object.That is, can be with the brightness disproportionation zone as correcting area, also can be with the zone that comprises brightness disproportionation zone and neighboring area thereof as correcting area.As mentioned above, by the neighboring area is also included within the correcting area, the profile in brightness disproportionation zone is thickened, thereby brightness disproportionation be become more be difficult for identified.

In addition, and do not require and to proofread and correct detected all brightness disproportionation zones, can only proofread and correct a part of brightness disproportionation zone in the detected brightness disproportionation zone yet.For example, can according to the size in brightness disproportionation zone and and appropriate brightness value between the degree etc. of deviation, only easy identified brightness disproportionation zone is extracted and is proofreaied and correct.

In addition, correction data generating unit 16b makes above-mentioned correction data, and calculates R(Red respectively), G(Green), B(Blue) correction data of each secondary image element.

At this, also can only generate the correction data to the a kind of color (for example G) among R, G, the B, and this correction data is common to other colors.Because the situation that mottled brightness disproportionation recurs in predetermined regional extent is in the majority, therefore, compare to situation about generating respectively for the correction data of R, G, each color of B, when only then a kind of color generation correction data among R, G, the B being applicable to it secondary image element of other adjacent therewith colors, the image quality degree is almost constant.In addition, can be to R, G, B shared correction data of all kinds by generating, than situation about generating respectively the correction data of each color, can reduce the desired memory capacity of correction data storage part 31b, correction data storage part 31b is the storage part that is used for the storage correction data that following display unit 20b possesses.

In the present embodiment, each brightness disproportionation zone that the brightness disproportionation of spottiness shape will occur correction data generating unit 16b is approximated to the big or small corresponding border circular areas with this brightness disproportionation zone, and the generation correction data, this correction data includes the ratio of adjusting correction pixels in the centre coordinate (or pixel corresponding with centre coordinate) of this each border circular areas and radius, this each border circular areas and expression and above-mentioned adjustment correction pixels is improved 1 GTG also says the information that reduces by 1 GTG.Above-mentioned ratio for the situation that surpasses 1 brightness disproportionation under, except above-mentioned information, also comprise the correcting value (adjusting the correcting value of the pixel beyond the correction pixels) of the GTG value of each pixel that the zone corresponding with this brightness disproportionation comprises.Perhaps, surpass at above-mentioned ratio in the situation of 1 brightness disproportionation, be replaced in expression above-mentioned adjustment correction pixels is improved the information that 1 GTG is also said reduction by 1 GTG, can comprise the correcting value (value of said n) of the GTG value of above-mentioned adjustment correction pixels and represent the GTG value of this adjustment correction pixels is improved the information of also saying reduction.

Then, correction data generating unit 16b compresses processing for the correction data that generates, and will compress the correction data after processing, and outputs to the drive control part 22b of display unit 20b.At this, the method for processing for compression and the capacity of the correction data after the compression are not particularly limited, and the memory capacity of the correction data storage part 31b that can possess according to display unit 20b etc. is set aptly.

Figure 13 is the block diagram of the structure of the drive control part 22b that possesses of expression display unit 20b.As shown in the drawing, drive control part 22b possesses correction data storage part 31b, lsb decoder 32b, spatial dispersion handling part 33b, the time 34b of dispersion treatment section, the handling part 35, the 1st that adds latchs section 36, the 2nd and latchs section 37 and D/A converter section 38.At this, by spatial dispersion handling part 33b, the time 34b of dispersion treatment section and the handling part 35 composing images Data correction sections that add.In addition, drive control part 22b also comprises correcting pattern storage part (not shown), the pattern of the position of the ratio (classification results that perhaps carries out according to the brightness disproportionation degree) of the adjustment correction pixels that this correcting pattern storage part is pre-stored comprises with correction data adjustment correction pixels corresponding, in the above-mentioned block of expression.Figure 14 (a) has represented the brightness disproportionation degree is being divided in the situation of 8 groups of 1～8 example (black circles among the figure represents to adjust correction pixels) of the configuration pattern of the adjustment correction pixels in the above-mentioned block.

Correction data storage part (the 2nd correction data generate use data store) 31b is, the nonvolatile memory of the correction data of being exported by correction data implementing device 10b when being used for being stored in the manufacturing of display unit 20b.In the correction data storage part 31b of present embodiment, store the correction data (the 2nd correction data generates and uses data) after compressing processing by correction data implementing device 10b.

When display unit 20b will show the image corresponding with view data by display floater 21b, lsb decoder (the 2nd lsb decoder) 32b reads the correction data that correction data storage part 31b stores, and this correction data is outputed to spatial dispersion handling part 33b after decoding.The memory capacity of correction data storage part 31b has in the vacant situation, can omit by correction data generating unit 16b when correction data storage part 31b storage correction data the compression that correction data carries out is processed.In the case, can omit lsb decoder 32b.

Spatial dispersion handling part (the 2nd spatial dispersion handling part) 33b is according to the correction data by lsb decoder 32b input, for with each brightness disproportionation zone in the position of adjustment correction pixels set, and this sets result's correction data to the time 34b of dispersion treatment section output expression.

Particularly, spatial dispersion handling part 33b is according to the correction data by lsb decoder 32b input, detect the ratio of adjustment correction pixels (perhaps, the classification results corresponding with the brightness disproportionation degree), and according to the pattern that from correcting pattern storage part (not shown), extracts the correction position corresponding with this testing result, decide the adjustment correction pixels.Pre-stored ratio (classification results that perhaps, carries out according to the brightness disproportionation degree) pattern corresponding, that represent the position of the adjustment correction pixels in the above-mentioned block that the adjustment correction pixels that comprises with correction data (the 2nd correction data generates and uses data) is arranged in the correcting pattern storage part.Figure 14 (a) represented, the brightness disproportionation degree is being divided in the situation of 8 groups of 1～8 example (black circles among the figure represents to adjust correction pixels) of the configuration pattern of the adjustment correction pixels in the above-mentioned block.

Figure 15 (a) and Figure 15 (b) are the representation space dispersion treatment 33b of section according to the figure of an example of the configuration pattern of the adjustment correction pixels that determines from the correction data of lsb decoder 32b input (radius, adjust the information of the ratio etc. of correction pixels).Particularly, Figure 15 (a) has represented that the radius of the border circular areas corresponding with brightness disproportionation zone is 6(6 pixel), this brightness disproportionation zone is classified as the example in the situation of group of correction intensity 3.In addition, Figure 15 (b) has represented that the radius of the border circular areas corresponding with brightness disproportionation zone is 9(9 pixel), this brightness disproportionation zone is classified as the example in the situation of group of correction intensity 4.

Shown in Figure 14 (a) and Figure 14 (b), for each ratio of adjusting correction pixels (perhaps, each group corresponding with the degree of brightness disproportionation), preset the configuration pattern of a plurality of adjustment correction pixels, by use different configuration patterns in adjacent block, it is adjacent to each other to avoid adjusting correction pixels.

More than, the situation that correcting pattern is arranged in the correcting pattern storage portion stores in advance has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto.For example, can be based on the ratio (classification results that perhaps, carries out according to the degree of brightness disproportionation) of the adjustment correction pixels in the block as the calculation formula of parameter, is calculated the position of adjusting correction pixels.

In addition, illustrated that more than configuration pattern that each secondary image element of using R, G, B is shared decides the situation of the position of adjusting correction pixels, but the present invention do not limit therewith, can dispose pattern to each color settings yet.For example, as shown in figure 16, for each group (perhaps adjust the ratio of correction pixels) corresponding with the degree of brightness disproportionation, preset for the correcting pattern of the secondary image element of G and be used for the correcting pattern of the secondary image element of R and B, then select each secondary image of calibration object plain with these two correcting patterns.Perhaps, can alternately use this two correcting patterns.

The 34b of time dispersion treatment section (the 2nd time dispersion treatment section) is according to the correction data from spatial dispersion handling part 33b input, with every the scheduled period (in the present embodiment, by every frame) form that changes sets the position of the adjustment correction pixels in above-mentioned each block, and will represent that this setting result's correction data outputs to the handling part 35 that adds.

For example, shown in Figure 14 (a) and Figure 14 (b), each ratio of the adjustment correction pixels that comprises for correction data (perhaps, with corresponding each group of the degree of brightness disproportionation), preset the configuration pattern of a plurality of adjustment correction pixels, and switch corresponding configuration pattern at each frame.Perhaps, as shown in figure 17, can by move the applicable position of configuration pattern at each frame, the position of adjusting correction pixels all be changed at each frame.

At this, can change the order of spatial dispersion handling part 33b and the time 34b of dispersion treatment section.That is, can be from lsb decoder 32b to time dispersion treatment section 34 output calibration datas, the structure from the time 34b of dispersion treatment section to spatial dispersion handling part 33b output calibration data again.

The handling part 35, the 1st that adds latchs section 36, the 2nd and latchs section 37 and D/A converter section 38 and have the function roughly the same with execution mode 1.

As mentioned above, the correction data implementing device 10b of present embodiment shows with the inspection of same GTG with the corresponding image of view data and take its display frame all pixels of display floater 21, from photographed data, extract brightness data, from brightness data, extract again mottled brightness disproportionation.Then, from with each pixel that source electrode line in the correcting area is connected, select with the pixel of the corresponding ratio of brightness disproportionation degree as adjusting correction pixels, this correcting area refers to, the brightness disproportionation zone in the display image data or comprise the zone of this brightness disproportionation zone and neighboring area thereof.Then, generation becomes the different correction data of correcting value of the GTG value of the pixel except adjusting correction pixels that comprises from this correcting area for the correcting value that makes the GTG value of adjusting correction pixels, and stores this correction data in the correction data storage part 31b that display unit 20b possesses.

Next, when display unit 20b shows the image corresponding with view data by display floater 21, according to the correction data of storing among the correction data storage part 31b, from the pixel that correcting area comprises, select pixel with the corresponding quantity of aforementioned proportion as the adjustment correction pixels, and, make the correcting value of the GTG value of selected adjustment correction pixels be different from the correcting value of the GTG value of other pixels.

As mentioned above, the correcting value of the GTG value by making the adjustment correction pixels in the pixel that correcting area comprises is different from the correcting value of the GTG value of other pixels, can be so that be regarded as the situation identical with following situation, i.e. situation less than the brightness value of 1 GTG degree of display image data (fractional part that perhaps, is equivalent to display image data is not to be the brightness value of 0 GTG value) brightness value of all pixels of this correcting area is proofreaied and correct in the same manner.Namely, can be similar to, with the situation of in the same manner brightness value of all pixels of correcting area being proofreaied and correct less than the brightness value suitable with 1 GTG of display image data (fractional part that perhaps, is equivalent to display image data is not to be the brightness value of 0 GTG value).Therefore, correcting luminance is uneven accurately, can prevent from more rightly being regarded as brightness disproportionation.

In addition, in the present embodiment, every scheduled period (for example, each frame), the position of the adjustment correction pixels in each brightness disproportionation zone is changed.That is, in the brightness disproportionation zone, spatially disperse with upper position to the adjustment correction pixels of time.

According to above-mentioned, can so that the image that is identified closer to so that the brightness value of all pixels in the brightness disproportionation zone all changed in the same manner less than the image in the situation of the brightness value corresponding with 1 GTG of display image data.Therefore, can prevent more effectively that brightness disproportionation is identified.

In the present embodiment, make the approximate border circular areas that becomes in the zone that mottled brightness disproportionation has occured, and the centre coordinate of this border circular areas and radius are included in the correction data as the information of the position in expression brightness disproportionation zone.According to above-mentioned, comprise the ratio of the adjustment correction pixels in the centre coordinate in each brightness disproportionation zone and radius, each brightness disproportionation zone in the correction data (perhaps, the information of the group that expression is classified according to the brightness disproportionation degree), the expression GTG value that will adjust correction pixels improves 4 parameters such as information that 1 GTG still reduces by 1 GTG and gets final product, therefore can reduce the data volume of correction data, thereby reduce the required memory capacity that possesses of correction data storage part 31b of display unit 20b.

In addition, be not limited in correcting area is approximated to border circular areas, can also be approximated to polygonal zone.This kind situation, as the position of expression correcting area and the information of scope, for example, as correction data, the position that can comprise above-mentioned polygonal each summit, be in the situation of regular polygon at above-mentioned polygon, can comprise center and the radius of this polygonal circumcircle or inscribed circle as correction data.

In addition, can in correction data implementing device 10b, make in advance be used to the data that the position of adjusting correction pixels is spatially disperseed with the time, and these data are stored among the correction data storage part 31b.That is, spatial dispersion handling part 33b and the time 34b of dispersion treatment section are arranged on correction data make among the 10b of section, rather than in display unit 20b.This kind situation, when can simplify the circuit structure of display unit 20b, the high speed of required processing speed during the correction that can also realize display image data is processed.

(execution mode 6)

Below, other execution modes of the present invention are described.For the purpose of convenient, give identical symbol for the parts that function is identical with above-mentioned enforcement, and the description thereof will be omitted.

Figure 22 is the block diagram of structure of the drive control part 22f that possesses of display unit 20c of expression present embodiment.In display unit 20c, be replaced in drive control part 22c shown in Figure 180 and possess drive control part 22f is arranged.As shown in the drawing, drive control part 22f comprises that correction data storage part 31, correction data storage part 31b, correction data make section 41, Add-subtract calculator 136, the 1st latchs section 36, the 2nd and latchs section 37, D/A converter section 38, frame comparing section 42, RAM43, inverse conversion data generating unit 45 and the 2nd Add-subtract calculator 46.

Add-subtract calculator 136 is for the display image data of inputting one by one with 1 pixel from frame comparing section 42 at every turn and make integration correction datas that section 41 inputs with 1 pixel at every turn one by one from correction data and add and subtract to calculate and process, and will add and subtract the display image data of calculating after the processing and be stored in RAM43.In addition, Add-subtract calculator 136 will be added and subtracted the result who calculates processing for each pixel and output to inverse conversion data generating unit 45.

RAM43 stores the display image data of 1 line (1 gate line), and in predetermined timing the display image data of storing is latched section 36 take 1 line (1 gate line) as unit outputs to the 1st side by side at every turn.

Inverse conversion data generating unit 45 is according to calculating result from the plus-minus of Add-subtract calculator 136 inputs, generate for the display image data of calculating after processing through plus-minus that RAM43 is stored and be restored to the inverse conversion data of adding and subtracting the display image data before calculating processing, and output to the 2nd Add-subtract calculator.For example, for process the pixel improved 1 GTG by Add-subtract calculator, generate for so that reduce the inverse conversion data of 1 GTG, and process the pixel that has reduced by 1 GTG for calculating by plus-minus, generate for so that improve the inverse conversion data of 1 GTG.

The 2nd Add-subtract calculator 46 is by processing adding and subtracting to calculate from the inverse conversion data of inverse conversion data generating unit 45 inputs, the display image data of storing for RAM43 carries out calculating the opposite processing of processing with the plus-minus of Add-subtract calculator 136, calculates the state before processing and outputs to frame comparing section 42 so that be recovered to add and subtract.

Frame comparing section 42 is for comparing from the display image data of the 2nd Add-subtract calculator 46 input with from the display image data of the next frame of outside input.Then, in the not identical situation of two display image datas, the display image data of next frame is outputed to Add-subtract calculator 136, and calculated by the plus-minus that Add-subtract calculator 136 carries out the integration correction data and to process.On the contrary, in the identical situation of two display image datas; frame comparing section 42 does not make Add-subtract calculator 136 add and subtract to calculate to be processed, latch section 36 but the display image data of the former frame of storing among the RAM43 is outputed to the 1st from RAM43, and this is shown.

As mentioned above, in the present embodiment, comprising: be used for storing the plus-minus that has carried out take the brightness disproportionation correction as purpose and calculate RAM43 that process, 1 frame display image data; Be used for that the display image data that RAM43 stores is carried out inverse conversion and process, carry out inverse conversion data generating unit 45 and the 2nd Add-subtract calculator 46 that above-mentioned plus-minus is calculated the display image data before processing so that be recovered to; Be used for the display image data that carried out 1 frame that inverse conversion processes and the frame comparing section that compares from the display image data of the next frame of outside input.

According to above-mentioned, even in the structure that possesses the RAM43 that has output display arranged side by side to use view data, also can carry out brightness disproportionation to display image data and proofread and correct processing.In addition, only need possess to have the integration correction data of the display image data of 1 pixel and 1 pixel added and subtracted and calculate the Add-subtract calculator 136 of processing and get final product, than the above-mentioned structure of correction data and display image data being taken advantage of calculation of the prior art, multiplier and bit compression circuit need be set, therefore circuit scale can be dwindled significantly, thereby manufacturing cost can be reduced significantly.

In addition, display image data by 1 frame after brightness disproportionation is proofreaied and correct that RAM43 is stored carries out inverse conversion and processes the display image data that obtains 1 frame before the brightness disproportionation correction, the display image data of 1 frame before proofreading and correct for this brightness disproportionation and carry out comparing between the display image data of the next frame of brightness disproportionation before proofreading and correct, under two display image datas are identical situation, can omit the brightness disproportionation that undertaken by Add-subtract calculator 136 and proofread and correct and process (plus-minus is calculated and processed) and omit the display image data of storing for RAM43 and upgrade, the display image data after can proofreading and correct according to the brightness disproportionation of having stored among the RAM43 shows.According to above-mentioned, can improve treatment effeciency, thereby can reduce power consumption.

At this, generally in the middle of showing, identify easily brightness disproportionation in the situation of the pixel (the especially image of Dark grey) of GTG, and in the situation that shows white pixel (perhaps approximate white pixel) and black pixel (perhaps approximate pixel of deceiving) difficulty identify.Therefore, process if carry out the correction of above-mentioned brightness disproportionation in the situation that shows white pixel or black pixel, the zone that can occur proofreading and correct shows factitious situation.

Therefore, in the respective embodiments described above, preset higher limit and the lower limit of processing the display image data of object as the correction of brightness disproportionation, the gray scale level of the display image data before proofread and correct processing is in the situation more than the higher limit or below the lower limit, not proofread and correct processing.For example, make section 41 to frame comparing section 42 input integration correction datas from correction data; frame comparing section 42 will belong to the pixel of correcting area from the display image data of outside input the mean value of GTG value compares with above-mentioned higher limit and above-mentioned lower limit respectively; then by control Add-subtract calculator 136, to prevent proofreading and correct processings (plus-minus is calculated processing) for the correcting area more than the higher limit and the correcting area below the lower limit.

Generally speaking, in the situation that shows the Dark grey image, identify easily brightness disproportionation, therefore, for example lower limit can be set for the GTG value maximum (white pixel) 10%, the GTG value of higher limit sets peaked 80% for.Particularly, for example, be white pixel with respect to the GTG value 0～63(0 that can obtain display image data for black pixel, 63), the GTG value of preset lower limit is 6, the GTG value of higher limit is 51, be correcting area and 51 above correcting areas 6 below for the mean value of the GTG value of each pixel in the display image data before proofread and correct processing, can not carry out brightness disproportionation and proofread and correct processing.

At this, can be according to for example showing the visual test that the brightness disproportionation in the situation with the corresponding image of view data of each gray scale level carries out at display floater 21, and proofread and correct the result of the test that whether has discernible not natural phenomena in the situation of processing and showing in the correcting area by visual view data to each gray scale level, come suitable above-mentioned higher limit and the lower limit set.

In addition, the present invention is not limited to structure that the mean value of the GTG value of each pixel of correcting area is compared with higher limit and lower limit respectively, for example can be from the median of maximum, minimum value, maximum and the minimum value of the GTG value of each pixel of correcting area; Selecting arbitrarily one and higher limit and lower limit to compare in the median of mean value, maximum, minimum value, maximum and the minimum value of the GTG value of the one part of pixel in each pixel of correcting area gets final product.

In addition, can also to the GTG value of each pixel that is contained in correcting area in the display image data and in advance predetermined higher limit and lower limit compare, be that pixel more than the above-mentioned higher limit and the GTG value of the pixel below the above-mentioned lower limit are not proofreaied and correct for the GTG value.

In addition, in the respective embodiments described above, illustrated to come display image data added and subtracted according to the correction data that both proofread and correct to strip brightness disproportionation and mottled brightness disproportionation and calculated the structure of processing, but the present invention is not limited thereto.For example, can be only come display image data added and subtracted to calculate to process according to the correction data that strip brightness disproportionation and mottled brightness disproportionation one are wherein proofreaied and correct.In addition, the present invention is not limited to come display image data is added and subtracted the structure of calculating processing according to the correction data of brightness disproportionation, be in the situation of liquid crystal indicator in display unit for example, can result from the correction data of demonstration image inequality of luminance deviation of irradiation light of backlight and come display image data added and subtracted to calculate to process according to be used for proofreading and correct.In addition, on the display unit with the display frame that is formed by a plurality of display panel combination, can come display image data is added and subtracted the calculation processing to the boundary portion of each display floater correction data nearby, that proofread and correct because of the demonstration image inequality due to the property difference of each panel according to being used for.

(execution mode 7)

Below describe with regard to another embodiment of the present invention.At this, for convenience of description, for above-mentioned execution mode in have an identical function parts give identical parts label and the description thereof will be omitted.

Figure 23 is the structured flowchart of correction data implementing device 10d in the expression present embodiment.As shown in figure 23, correction data implementing device 10d has additional resolution particular portion 17 and N Reference Alignment data maintaining part 18 on the basis of the structure of as shown in Figure 2 correction data implementing device 10.The structure of display unit 20 is identical with structure shown in Figure 8.

Resolution particular portion 17 is used for resolution that the user is inputted by not shown input unit, display floater (predetermined display frame) 21 and carries out specific.

In the present embodiment, the scope of the resolution of display floater 21 is 150ppi(pixel per inch) ~ scope of 400ppi, below illustrated reference resolution scope, be assumed to be the scope of 150ppi ~ 200ppi, yet the scope of resolution is not limited to this scope.

Correction data generating unit 16 is identified for brightness disproportionation is difficult to, and generates correction data according to the information of the detected brightness disproportionation of brightness disproportionation test section 15, the correction data that generates is compressed process and output to drive control part 22.At this, when being contained in maximum in the brightness value of the line pixel group in the brightness disproportionation zone and the difference between the appropriate brightness value less than predetermined fiducial value, can be considered the brightness disproportionation that does not have wire and do not generate correction data.

At this, correction data generating unit 16 in advance according to predetermined algorithm (below, be called N Reference Alignment data generating algorithm) generate and the specific reference resolution (correction data that the display floater (display frame) of 150ppi ~ 200ppi) is corresponding, as the N Reference Alignment data, store this correction data into N Reference Alignment data maintaining part 18 described later.And, in the present embodiment, n * n(n that the resolution of display floater 21 is assumed to be reference resolution is the integer more than 2) doubly, only illustrate that the resolution of display floater 21 is higher than the situation of reference resolution (high definition), yet the resolution of also not getting rid of display floater 21 is lower than the situation of reference resolution (low clear).

Secondly, when the resolution of display floater 21 is reference resolution, correction data generating unit 16 will read the N Reference Alignment data that are stored in the N Reference Alignment data maintaining part 18, and with it directly as correction data.

Yet, when the resolution of display floater 21 is the resolution different from reference resolution, regenerate correction data according to predetermined algorithm (below, be called the correction data generating algorithm).

Just, in the correction data that generate according to the correction data generating algorithm this moment, except the N Reference Alignment data, also include correction data expansion information, it is for generate the correction data corresponding with the display floater 21 of predetermined resolution according to the N Reference Alignment data.

At this, " correction data expansion use information " be, in the situation of fixed correction rate, generates the information of the correction data corresponding with the display floater 21 of predetermined resolution according to the N Reference Alignment data.And " corrected rate " be, in the pixel that correcting area comprises, and the ratio between the number of the pixel that the number that needs at least selecteed adjustment correction pixels in order to change the GTG value comprises with respect to this correcting area.Brightness value when the display floater of reference resolution shows corresponding to the image that checks with view data and corresponding to obtaining luminance difference between the appropriate brightness value of this inspections with view data, be somebody's turn to do " corrected rate " can be according to the display floater demonstration of this luminance difference and reference resolution corresponding to inspection the ratio size between the brightness value that is equivalent to 1 GTG value during with the image of view data calculate.And, " correcting area " is, at least a portion brightness disproportionation zone in the brightness disproportionation zone, or comprise the zone of this part brightness disproportionation zone and its neighboring area, and, above-mentioned brightness disproportionation zone is, and corresponding to checking that appropriate brightness value with view data is the shown zone of the image of different brightness value.

Specifically, as " correction data expansion information ", but illustration is carried out the software of following algorithm.In this algorithm, each pixel that the correcting area of the display floater 21 of predetermined resolution comprises is cut apart take n * n pixel as a unit, and with n * n pixel as 1 unit picture element, come thus to be suitable for N Reference Alignment data (each is adjusted the number of correction pixels and does not increase to n * n doubly as the number of other each pixels of adjusting correction pixels).Above-mentioned software be pre-stored at N Reference Alignment data maintaining part 18(with reference to (c) among Figure 24 and (d)).In addition, for other correction data generating algorithm with aftermentioned.

Pre-stored in N Reference Alignment data maintaining part 18 have reference resolution, N Reference Alignment data, correction data to expand with the software of information, execution N Reference Alignment data generating algorithm and the software (correction data expansion information) of execution correction data generating algorithm etc.

And, in the situation of the capacity adequacy of N Reference Alignment data maintaining part 18, when generating corresponding with the display floater with specific resolution new correction data according to the N Reference Alignment data, the new correction data corresponding to each resolution can be stored into N Reference Alignment data maintaining part 18.That is, the new correction data that generates is according to the method described above stored as new N Reference Alignment data.

Secondly, based on Figure 24, describe according to the correction data generating algorithm that the N Reference Alignment data generate correction data with regard to correction data generating unit 16.

At first, (a) among Figure 24 be, the schematic diagram of an example of the display floater of expression reference resolution, (b) among Figure 24 be, represents the schematic diagram of an example of the display floater of the resolution different from reference resolution.

At this, the resolution (reference resolution) of the display floater shown in (a) among Figure 24 is 176ppi, is employed display floater so far.And the resolution (predetermined resolution) of the display floater shown in (b) among Figure 24 is 300 ~ 350ppi, is the panel that future uses.

Among the present invention, according to identification demonstration inequality is people's eyes, can not be subjected to the high definition restriction on the principle and applicable common correcting pattern, for the display floater of different resolution, the applicable correction data generating algorithm of having used common N Reference Alignment data.Thus, according to high definition, change a little the applicable pattern of correction data, the present invention can be adapted to widely the panel of various uses.

Secondly, based on (c) among Figure 24 and (d), to uneven and an example generate the algorithm of correction data according to the N Reference Alignment data describes in order to proofread and correct wire.

In the algorithm of the correction data shown in (d) that generate according to the N Reference Alignment data shown in (c) among Figure 24 among Figure 24, be each pixel that the correcting area of 2 times display floater of reference resolution comprises with resolution, cut apart take 4 pixels as unit, and be applicable to the N Reference Alignment data with 4 pixels as 1 unit picture element and get final product.

Thus, each can be adjusted the number of correction pixels (black circular pixel) and not increase in the lump 4 times as the number of each pixel (white circular pixel) of adjusting correction pixels, be the corresponding correction data of 2 times display floater of reference resolution thereby can generate simply with resolution.

In above-mentioned algorithm, when wire does not cause by n bar source electrode line, also only need the correction data of 1 source electrode line of storage to get final product, therefore required memory capacity is reduced to 1/n.

Secondly, based on (e) ~ (g) among Figure 24, another example that generates the algorithm of correction data in order to proofread and correct the wire inequality according to the N Reference Alignment data is described.

For the algorithm of the correction data shown in (f) that generate according to the N Reference Alignment data shown in (e) among Figure 24 among Figure 24, can adopt with Figure 24 in (c) and (d) same algorithm.

Secondly, in the algorithm of the correction data shown in (g) that generate according to the N Reference Alignment data shown in (e) among Figure 24 among Figure 24, the correcting area of wire inequality is divided into a plurality of cut zone, so that only comprise 1 adjustment correction pixels in a cut zone, and utilize the pitch information at the interval between the immediate adjustment correction pixels of expression.

In the example shown in (g) among Figure 24, each cut zone is adjusted correction pixels (being attached with the pixel of oblique line) and 4 by 1 and is not consisted of by each pixel (not being attached with the pixel of oblique line) of adjustment correction pixels.

And, being spaced apart between immediate adjustment correction pixels, the interval (pitch information) of 1 pixel in per 5 pixels.

Shown in (g) among Figure 24, on the bearing of trend of the wire inequality of display floater 21, can be to 1 pixel in per 5 pixels, the applicable correction data that generates according to above-mentioned algorithm.

And, by comparing the example shown in (f) among Figure 24 and the example shown in (g) among Figure 24 as can be known, no matter adopt any algorithm, the ratio of 1 pixel in per 5 pixels (corrected rate namely need be selected as adjusting the ratio between the number of the number of correction pixels and the pixel that correcting area comprises) can not change.

In the above-mentioned algorithm, the position that compares to all adjustment correction pixels that the wire inequality is comprised is carried out specific and situations generation N Reference Alignment data, can significantly reduce the amount of information of N Reference Alignment data self.

And, as correction data, except pitch information, usually also need to be about in the pixel that comprises in the wire inequality, which pixel as the adjustment correction pixels of spacing original position, offset information (with reference to (g) among Figure 24).Yet, when generating correction data, in the time can automatically producing the original position of spacing, do not need above-mentioned offset information.

Therefore, for example, can be directly with the pitch information of the display frame of low resolution, directly using high-resolution display floater 21 gets final product, compare during corresponding to the correction data of high-resolution display floater 21 with direct generation, can significantly reduce be used to the amount of information that generates high-resolution correction data.

Dispose the correction data storage part 31 as nonvolatile memory in the drive control part 22 of display unit 20.As mentioned above, store the correction data (having compressed the correction data of processing) of when making display unit 20, inputting from correction data implementing device 10 in this correction data storage part 31.

Yet, the above-mentioned utilization in the method that correction data proofreaies and correct display image data, because along with the resolution of display floater 21 improves, the quantity of pixel obviously increases, thereby the amount of information that is used for the correction data of correcting luminance inequality also obviously increases, thereby the amount of information of this correction data occurs above the problem of the capacity of nonvolatile memory.

In order to address the above problem, store predefined, corresponding with the display floater of reference resolution N Reference Alignment data in the correction data storage part 31 in the present embodiment, and expand the information of using for generating according to these N Reference Alignment data with display floater 21 correction datas corresponding, correction data of predetermined resolution.

Therefore, even have the display floater 21 of different resolution for the display floater with reference resolution, also can be according to the N Reference Alignment data corresponding with the display floater of reference resolution, generate the correction data corresponding with the display floater 21 of predetermined resolution.

And, generate in advance the N Reference Alignment data corresponding with the display floater of reference resolution, can be irrelevant with the resolution of display floater 21 generate correction data (that is, with whether high definition has nothing to do).Therefore, need not the display frame different to each resolution, set up for the algorithm that generates correction data.

And, for example when predetermined resolution is higher than reference resolution, utilize the few N Reference Alignment data of amount of information just can generate the correction data corresponding with high-resolution display floater 21.

And, in said method, except the N Reference Alignment data, also need correction data expansion information, can by to being optimized with the algorithm that generates correction data according to the N Reference Alignment data, its amount of information be compared significantly corresponding to the correction data of high-resolution display floater 21 with direct generation reduce.

According to said structure, utilize simple circuit, can have nothing to do with high definition (fineness), suitably the brightness disproportionation of correcting display device 20.

(execution mode 8)

Below, describe with regard to another embodiment of the present invention.At this, for convenience of description, for above-mentioned execution mode in have an identical function parts give identical parts label and the description thereof will be omitted.

In execution mode 7, the structure of proofreading and correct the wire inequality is illustrated, in the present embodiment, will be to proofreading and correct mottled brightness disproportionation (the mottled brightness disproportionation of locality; Rectangular correcting area) structure describes.

Figure 25 is the block diagram of structure of the correction data implementing device 10e of expression present embodiment.As shown in figure 25, correction data implementing device 10e replaces mobile horizontal homogenizing handling part 14, brightness disproportionation test section 15 and the correction data generating unit 16 of the correction data implementing device in the execution mode 7, and has mobile horizontal homogenizing handling part 14b, brightness disproportionation test section 15b and correction data generating unit 16b.Roughly the same in the function of demonstration data generating unit 11, shoot part 12, brightness data extraction unit 13, resolution particular portion 17 and N Reference Alignment data maintaining part 18 and the execution mode 7.And, the function of mobile horizontal homogenizing handling part 14b, brightness disproportionation test section 15b and correction data generating unit 16b is identical with the function of mobile horizontal homogenizing handling part 14b, brightness disproportionation test section 15b among the correction data implementing device 10b that is provided in as shown in figure 11 and correction data generating unit 16b.And the structure of display unit 20b is identical with the structure of display unit 20b as shown in figure 11.

And brightness disproportionation test section 15b can be approximately detected mottled each brightness disproportionation zone border circular areas as shown in figure 12, also detected mottled each brightness disproportionation zone can be approximately rectangular area as shown in figure 26.At this, do not do restriction for the method that is approximated to border circular areas and rectangular area, can utilize well-known the whole bag of tricks.

And, among Figure 26, enumerated the example that detects 5 brightness disproportionation zone No1 ~ No5.And the size of brightness disproportionation zone No1 ~ No5 is according to the size of detected mottled brightness disproportionation and difference.And, No1:(X1 among this figure, Y1; Pattern A) (the X1 in, X2) centre coordinate of expression brightness disproportionation zone No1, pattern (correcting pattern information, N Reference Alignment data) A represents, brightness disproportionation zone No1 has selected pattern A according to the size in brightness disproportionation zone in predetermined correcting pattern information.Pattern shown in this figure (correcting pattern information, N Reference Alignment data) A ~ C aftermentioned.

Yet, the size of mottled brightness disproportionation, usually irrelevant with the high definition of panel, roughly remain unchanged, for example about 1.5 ~ 3.0mm.Therefore, the size of brightness disproportionation zone No1 ~ No5 also is about about 1.5 ~ 3.0mm.

It is identified for mottled brightness disproportionation is difficult for, correction data generating unit 16b generates correction data according to the testing result of brightness disproportionation test section 15b, and after the correction data that generates compressed processing, output to the drive control part 22b that display unit 20b possesses.

At this, correction data generating unit 16b in advance according to predetermined algorithm (below, be called N Reference Alignment data generating algorithm) generate and the specific reference resolution (correction data that the display floater (display frame) of 150ppi ~ 200ppi) is corresponding, as the N Reference Alignment data, store this correction data into above-mentioned N Reference Alignment data maintaining part 18.And, in the present embodiment, n * n(n that the resolution of display floater 21 is assumed to be reference resolution is the integer more than 2) doubly, only illustrate that the resolution of display floater 21 is higher than the situation of reference resolution (high definition), yet also do not get rid of the situation that the resolution that is applicable to display floater 21 is lower than reference resolution (low clear).

Secondly, when the resolution of display floater 21 was reference resolution, correction data generating unit 16b read the N Reference Alignment data that are stored in the N Reference Alignment data maintaining part 18, and it is directly used as correction data.

On the other hand, when the resolution of display floater 21 is the resolution different from reference resolution, generate separately correction data according to predetermined algorithm (below, be called the correction data generating algorithm).

Just, in the correction data that generates according to the correction data generating algorithm at this moment, except the N Reference Alignment data, also include correction data expansion information, this correction data expansion is used to the correction data corresponding according to the display floater 21 of the generation of N Reference Alignment data and predetermined resolution with information.

At this, " correction data expansion use information " be, in the situation of fixed correction rate, generates the information that the correction data corresponding with the display floater 21 of predetermined resolution utilizes according to the N Reference Alignment data.And " corrected rate " be, in the pixel that correcting area comprises, needs at least the ratio between the number of the number of selecteed adjustment correction pixels and the pixel that this correcting area comprises in order to change the GTG value.Brightness value when the display floater of reference resolution shows corresponding to the image that checks with view data and corresponding to the appropriate brightness value of this inspections with view data between obtain luminance difference, be somebody's turn to do " corrected rate " can be according to the display floater demonstration of this luminance difference and reference resolution corresponding to inspection the size of the ratio between the brightness value that is equivalent to 1 GTG value during with the image of view data calculate.And, " correcting area " is, at least a portion brightness disproportionation zone in the brightness disproportionation zone, or comprise the zone of this part brightness disproportionation zone and its neighboring area, and, above-mentioned brightness disproportionation zone is the shown zone of image of the brightness value different from the appropriate brightness value of using view data corresponding to inspection.

Specifically, as " correction data expansion information ", but illustration is carried out the software of following algorithm.In this algorithm, each pixel that comprises in the correcting area to the display floater 21 of predetermined resolution, cut apart take n * n pixel as a unit, and with n * n pixel as 1 unit picture element, come thus to be suitable for N Reference Alignment data (each is adjusted the number of correction pixels and does not increase to n * n doubly as the number of other each pixels of adjusting correction pixels).Above-mentioned software is stored in advance in N Reference Alignment data maintaining part 18(with reference to (a) among Figure 27 and (b)).In addition, about other correction data generating algorithm with aftermentioned.

Pre-stored in N Reference Alignment data maintaining part 18 have reference resolution, N Reference Alignment data, correction data to expand with the software of information, execution N Reference Alignment data generating algorithm and the software (correction data expansion information) of execution correction data generating algorithm etc.

And, in the situation of the capacity adequacy of N Reference Alignment data maintaining part 18, when generating corresponding with the display floater with specific resolution new correction data according to the N Reference Alignment data, the new correction data corresponding to each resolution can be stored into N Reference Alignment data maintaining part 18.That is, the new correction data that generates is according to the method described above stored as new N Reference Alignment data.

Secondly, based on Figure 27, describe according to the correction data generating algorithm that the N Reference Alignment data generate correction data for correction data generating unit 16b.

At this, based on (a) among Figure 27 and (b), the algorithm example that generates correction data according to the N Reference Alignment data in order to proofread and correct mottled brightness disproportionation is described.

According to the N Reference Alignment data shown in (a) among Figure 27, generate in the algorithm of the correction data shown in Figure 17 (b), be that each pixel that the correcting area of 2 times display floater of reference resolution comprises is cut apart take 4 pixels as a unit with resolution, and with 4 pixels as 1 unit picture element, be applicable to the N Reference Alignment data and get final product.

Thus, in fact can adjust the number of correction pixels (black circular pixel) and not increase to 4 times for the number of each pixel (white circular pixel) of adjusting correction pixels, be the corresponding correction data of 2 times display floater of reference resolution thereby can generate simply with resolution.And this algorithm is applicable to above-mentioned Figure 14 ~ uneven bearing calibration shown in Figure 17.

In above-mentioned algorithm, owing to can represent with 1 positional information the positional information separately of n * n pixel, thus can reduce significantly the amount of information of correction data.

Secondly, (d) other examples for the N Reference Alignment data of proofreading and correct mottled brightness disproportionation are described based on (c) among Figure 27.In the present embodiment, be 176ppi with regard to reference resolution, the size of rectangular area is 1.5mm * 1.5mm, all pixel counts are that the situation of 16 * 16 pixels describes, but the large I of rectangular area is set as arbitrary value according to the size of mottled brightness disproportionation in the scope of 1.5mm * 1.5mm ~ 3.0mm * 3.0mm.

At this, if the rectangular area is divided into 4 * 4 cut zone, then the number of the pixel that comprises of each cut zone is 4 * 4 pixels.At this, the number of the adjustment correction pixels that cut zone is comprised is called correction intensity.

An example of the correcting pattern information that (c) expression among Figure 27 is corresponding with above-mentioned cut zone, correction intensity is divided into 4 grades, be respectively and be divided into " intensity 1 " when the number of adjusting correction pixels is 2, the number of adjustment correction pixels is divided into " intensity 2 " when being 4, the number of adjustment correction pixels is divided into " intensity 3 " when being 6, the number of adjustment correction pixels is divided into " intensity 4 " when being 8.But correction intensity is not limited to and is divided into 4 grades, also can be divided into as required 5 more than the grade.At this, because positive correction and negative correction are arranged, therefore, there are on the whole 8 kinds of correcting pattern information.

Yet, in order to save the amount of information of correction data, can omit corresponding in the correcting pattern information of each cut zone about the information of the configuration of adjusting correction pixels, only the information of storage expression correction intensity reads corresponding correcting pattern information from the information of expression correction intensity.

Setting above-mentioned correcting pattern information is because the concentration of brightness disproportionation is different because of display floater, is necessary the degree according to brightness disproportionation, and each display floater is set correction intensity.

And, in each the correcting pattern information shown in (c) among Figure 27, adjust spatially decentralized configuration of correction pixels.This correcting pattern information can be utilized 0 ~ 15 numeral, the simple generation according to the dither matrix of rectangular dispersed arrangement.Specifically, if " intensity n(n is natural number) ", then can the numerical value in the numeral " n " in the dither matrix (dither matrix) and the dither matrix be compared, will be positioned at the pixel of position of the following numerical value of n in the dither matrix as adjusting correction pixels.And, can be to R, G, the different dither matrix of B preparation.

(d) among Figure 27 expression is to each cut zone that the rectangular area of 1.5mm * 1.5mm comprises, an example of the correction matrix (correcting pattern information) of applicable correcting pattern information.

And, in each correction matrix shown in (d) among Figure 27, the closer to the position at the center of correction matrix, the correcting pattern information that applicable correction intensity is larger.And according to pattern (N Reference Alignment data, correcting pattern information) A ~ D, it is large that correction matrix becomes successively.

In the present embodiment, in order to reduce the capacity of nonvolatile memory, as correction matrix, according to the positive negativity of size and correction, 8 kinds of utilizing the pattern A ~ D shown in (d) among Figure 27.At this moment, the data mode of correction data is the (position coordinates of rectangular area as shown in figure 14; The information of expression correction matrix kind)=(X1, Y1; Pattern A), (X2, Y2; Pattern A) ...

Secondly, based on Figure 28, illustrate in order to proofread and correct mottled brightness disproportionation, generate another example of the algorithm of correction data according to the N Reference Alignment data.

At first, generating in the algorithm of pattern (correction data) A-1 shown in Figure 28 (b) according to pattern (N Reference Alignment data) A shown in (a) among Figure 28, be the cut zone that the correcting area of 2 times display floater 21 of reference resolution comprises for resolution, with 4 cut zone as 1 unit zone, applicable pattern A, and for 4 cut zone that each unit zone comprises, the applicable identical correcting pattern information of correction intensity gets final product.

Secondly, based on (c) among Figure 28, the method for deleting of data among the pattern A-1 is described.Shown in (c) among Figure 28, each cut zone that comprises for pattern A-1, when regional as 1 unit with per 4 cut zone, in 4 identical cut zone of correcting pattern information, only stay the correcting pattern information that is positioned at " upper left ", deletion is positioned at the correcting pattern information of " lower-left " " upper right " " bottom right ".Then, when generating correction data, can be according in 4 cut zone, be positioned at the correcting pattern information of " upper left ", will the correcting pattern information identical with the correcting pattern information that is positioned at " upper left " be applicable to be positioned at the cut zone of " lower-left " " upper right " " bottom right ", get final product as correcting pattern information.

At this, among the pattern A, corresponding to each cut zone, there are 16 correcting pattern information, among the pattern A-1, there are 64 correcting pattern information in each cut zone.

But, utilize pattern (correction data expansion information, the N Reference Alignment data) A-2 that from pattern A-1, deletes data, only need 16 correcting pattern information of storage, thereby can significantly reduce the amount of information of correction data.

And, in the above-mentioned algorithm, increase the number of the cut zone with identical correcting pattern information, can generate simply the correction data corresponding to high-resolution display floater 21.Therefore, compare corresponding to the correction data of high-resolution display floater 21 with direct generation, can significantly reduce for the amount of information that generates corresponding to high-resolution correction data.

Yet, the above-mentioned utilization in the method that correction data proofreaies and correct display image data, because the raising along with the resolution of display floater 21, the quantity of pixel obviously increases, thereby the amount of information that is used for the correction data of correcting luminance inequality also obviously increases, thereby the amount of information of this correction data occurs above the problem of the capacity of nonvolatile memory.

In order to address the above problem, in correction data storage part 31b, to store predefined, corresponding with the display floater of reference resolution N Reference Alignment data and be used for generating correction data expansion information with the corresponding correction data of the display floater 21 of predetermined resolution according to these N Reference Alignment data.

Thus, even the display floater 21 that has different resolution from the display floater of reference resolution, also can be according to the N Reference Alignment data corresponding with the display floater of reference resolution, generate the correction data corresponding with the display floater 21 of predetermined resolution.

And, generate in advance the N Reference Alignment data corresponding with the display floater of reference resolution, can be irrelevant with the resolution of display floater 21 generate correction data (that is, with whether high definition has nothing to do).Therefore, need not the display frame different to each resolution, establishment is used for generating the algorithm of correction data.

And, for example, when predetermined resolution is higher than reference resolution, can utilize the few N Reference Alignment data of amount of information, can generate the correction data corresponding with high-resolution display floater 21.

In addition, in the above-mentioned method, although except the N Reference Alignment data, also need correction data expansion information, but can the algorithm that generate correction data according to the N Reference Alignment data be optimized, make its amount of information, compare corresponding to the correction data of high-resolution display floater 21 with direct generation, significantly reduce.

Because said structure utilizes simple circuit, can have nothing to do with high definition, suitably the brightness disproportionation of correcting display device 20.

Secondly, brightness value and its moving average of each line pixel group that brightness disproportionation test section 15 extracts from photographed data according to brightness data extraction unit 13 detect the zone that brightness disproportionation occurs.

Specifically, brightness disproportionation test section 15 calculates first the poor of the brightness value of brightness data extraction unit 13 each lines pixel group from the brightness data that photographed data extracts and its moving average, the absolute value that reexamines by the difference that calculates is the zone that the line pixel group more than the predetermined threshold forms, as the brightness disproportionation zone, enter subsequently below the step S(, omit " step ") 101.

Secondly, pixel reads out above-mentioned each value of being calculated by parts number count section 110 than calculating part 120 from storage device 180.And, pixel will be on position 1 and position 2 than calculating part 120, photographing the shared ratio of parts number that checks with the capturing element of image in the capturing element of the shoot part 12 corresponding with the pixel count of display floater 21 is the pixel ratio, compares as the 1st pixel respectively and the 2nd pixel ratio calculates.Further describe based on Figure 33, Figure 34.

And for easy understanding, in the following description, display floater 21 is assumed to be has horizontal 360, vertical 480 pixels.And, in the above description, pixel reads out above-mentioned each value that is calculated by parts number count section 110 than calculating part 120 from storage device 180, but also can adopt pixel to realize than the structure that calculating part 120 directly obtains above-mentioned each value from parts number count section 110.

Among Figure 33, photographing the parts number that checks with the capturing element of image in the capturing element of shoot part 12 is that horizontal X1, vertical Y1 is individual.And the pixel count of display floater 21 is horizontal 360, to indulge 480.Therefore, the 1st pixel is " X1/360 " than at transverse direction, is " Y1/480 " at longitudinal direction.Similarly, in the example shown in Figure 34, the 2nd pixel is " X2/360 " than at transverse direction, is " Y2/480 " at longitudinal direction.

Therefore, in Figure 33, situation shown in Figure 34, pixel reads out above-mentioned each value of being calculated by parts number count section 110 than calculating part 120 from storage device 180 and (is " horizontal X1 " " vertical Y1 " at position Z1, be " horizontal X2 " " vertical Y2 " at position Z2), calculate as the 1st pixel ratio, at transverse direction for " X1/360 ", be the ratio of " Y1/480 " at longitudinal direction, with as the 2nd pixel ratio, be " X2/360 " at transverse direction, be the ratio of " Y2/480 " at longitudinal direction.

And in the above-mentioned explanation, transverse direction refers to the left and right directions of drawing, and longitudinal direction refers to the above-below direction of drawing.And display floater 21 is when carrying out inequality correction processing, and its position usually arranges in alignment with panel and is fit to carry out the uneven preposition of proofreading and correct in the section 260.Thus, such as Figure 33 and shown in Figure 34, make easily the capturing element of the pixel of display floater 21 and shoot part 12 consistent with longitudinal direction at transverse direction.

The 1st pixel that is calculated than calculating part 120 by pixel is than (at position Z1, transverse direction is " X1/360 ", longitudinal direction is " Y1/480 ") and the represented point of the 1st hypothesis shooting condition (height Z1) be the 1st shooting point (P1), the 2nd pixel that is calculated than calculating part 120 by pixel is than (at position Z2, transverse direction is " X2/360 ", longitudinal direction is " Y2/480 ") and the represented point of the 2nd hypothesis shooting condition (height Z2) be the 2nd shooting point (P2), function configuration part 130 will the inverse ratio curve by the 1st shooting point (P1) and the 2nd shooting point (P2), be set as for the shooting condition determining function L that determines shooting condition.Further describe based on Figure 35.

Figure 35 is, for the chart for the shooting condition determining function (L) that determines shooting condition is described.Transverse axis represents height (Z), and the longitudinal axis represents the pixel ratio.

As shown in figure 35, the 1st pixel ratio on the 1st shooting point (P1) the expression position Z1, the 2nd pixel ratio on the 2nd shooting point (P2) the expression position Z2.At this, the 1st pixel ratio includes, and is " X1/360 " at transverse direction, is two pixel ratios of " Y1/480 " at longitudinal direction.But usually, the pel spacing of display floater 21 is identical at transverse direction and longitudinal direction.Equally, the capturing element spacing of shoot part 12 is identical at transverse direction and longitudinal direction.So " X1/360 " and " Y1/480 " is same value, " X2/360 " and " Y2/480 " is same value.Therefore, as shown in figure 35, the pixel of shooting point P1 and P2 is than representing respectively 1 value.

And, 130 inverse ratio curves by the 1st shooting point (P1) and the 2nd shooting point (P2) in function configuration part, the shooting condition determining function (L) of the shooting condition of shoot part 12 when being set as for decision correcting luminance inequality.

Shooting condition determination section 140 determines pixel than being the hypothesis shooting condition of integer in the shooting condition determining function L that function configuration part 130 sets, as the shooting condition of the reality of the shoot part 12 of uneven timing.Therefore, in the example shown in Figure 35, shooting condition determination section 140 determine and pixel than the position for shoot part 12 corresponding to some Q1, the Q2 of integer, as the shooting condition of the reality of the shoot part 12 of uneven timing.

And, in the above-mentioned explanation, only understand for example that pixel is than being the some Q1 of integer, Q2.But, in fact except a Q1, Q2, also there is pixel than being the point of integer.Therefore, shooting condition determination section 140 also can determine with pixel than being the some Q1 of integer, and the Q2 position point correspondence, shoot part 12 in addition is as the shooting condition of the reality of the shoot part 12 of uneven timing.

In addition, about the shooting condition (highly) of the shoot part 12 that carries out uneven timing, hypothesis shooting condition that preferably will be corresponding with larger integer determines as shooting condition.Thus, can maximally utilise the capturing element number of shoot part 12, obtain more accurately the monochrome information of display floater 21.

Therefore, compare to and determine be the situation of Q2, shooting condition determination section 140 determines to be that Q1 is even more ideal carrying out the shooting height of uneven timing with shoot part 12.That is, in the example shown in Figure 35, because the pixel count of display floater 21 is 360 pixels * 480 pixels, the parts number of shoot part 12 is 2592 elements * 3888 elements (digital cameras of 1,000 ten thousand pixels), so, preferred so that the pixel ratio is 7 times when taking.Therefore, shoot part 12 is taken this inspection image preferably becoming the shooting height of 2520 elements * 3360 elements for taking the parts number of inspection with the shoot part 12 of image.

Secondly, shooting condition determination section 140 sends the shooting condition information of the shooting condition that is illustrated in uneven timing shoot part 12 for distance adjusting means 250.

Distance adjusting means 250 is obtained above-mentioned shooting condition information from shooting condition determination section 140.Then, distance adjusting means is regulated the shooting condition (shooting height) of shoot part 12 according to this shooting condition information.

Such as, in the example as shown in figure 35, distance adjusting means 250 is adjusted to pixel the shooting height of shoot part 12 than being some Q1(or the Q2 of integer) corresponding position.Further specifically, distance adjusting means 250 is adjusted to pixel than the camera site that is 7 (becoming the shooting height of 2520 elements * 3360 elements at the parts number of the shoot part 12 that is used for image taking) with the shooting height of shoot part 12.Then, shoot part 12 is taken the inspection image that utilizes at uneven timing on the shooting height of being regulated by distance adjusting means 250.

Yet in the above-mentioned explanation, the shooting condition of shoot part 12 is expressed as the shooting height of shoot part 12.But the shooting condition of shoot part 12 is not limited to the shooting height that is expressed as shoot part 12, also can be expressed as the shooting multiplying power of shoot part 12.Below, describe based on Figure 36.

Figure 36 is for the lens that utilize shoot part 12 are described, the shooting condition of shoot part 12 namely to be taken the figure that multiplying power is regulated.

As shown in figure 36, the pixel count of display floater 21 is assumed to be 360 pixels * 480 pixels, and the parts number of shoot part 12 is assumed to be 2592 elements * 3888 elements.At this moment, the shooting multiplying power of shoot part 12 is regulated, so that the pixel of display floater 21 (360 pixels * 480 pixels) is corresponding to parts number (n * 360) * (n * 480) of the capturing element of shoot part 12.Similarly, although do not do diagram, also can change the shooting multiplying power, make the pixel (pixel count 360 pixels * 480 pixels) of display floater 21 corresponding to parts number (m * 360) * (m * 480) (n, m are integer) of the capturing element of shoot part 12.Thus, the shooting condition of shoot part 12 is not limited to be expressed as the shooting height of shoot part 12, also can be expressed as the shooting multiplying power of the shoot part 12 that utilizes lens.

And at this moment, shooting condition determination section 140 is adjusted the distance adjusting device 250 namely to the shooting multiplying power adjusting portion (not shown) of shoot part 12, sends the shooting condition information of the actual photographed condition of the shoot part 12 that is illustrated in uneven timing.And above-mentioned shooting multiplying power adjusting portion is obtained above-mentioned shooting condition information from shooting condition determination section 140, and regulates the shooting condition (shooting multiplying power) of shoot part 12 according to this shooting condition information.

Thus, the shooting condition of shoot part 12 can be expressed as the shooting height of shoot part 12, or is expressed as the shooting multiplying power of the shoot part 12 that utilizes lens.

[action of shooting condition determination device 100]

Secondly, the motion flow of shooting condition determination device 100 is described based on Figure 37.Because the detailed content of each action as mentioned above, herein detailed.

At first, at S10, the height that shoot part 12 is set at apart from display floater 21 is the position of Z1.Then, shoot part 12 is being taken with image the inspection that is presented on the display floater 21 on the height Z1.

Secondly, at S20, parts number count section 110 from shoot part 12 obtain shoot part 12 height Z1 photographs to inspection with the view data of image.Then, photographing inspection in the capturing element of 110 pairs of shoot parts 12 of parts number count section counts with the parts number of the capturing element of image.Then, parts number count section 110 stores the value that counts to get into storage device 180.

Secondly, at S30, pixel reads out the above-mentioned value that is calculated by parts number count section 110 than calculating part 120 from storage device 180.Then, on height Z1, calculating and photograph the parts number that checks with the capturing element of image in the capturing element of shoot part 12 is the pixel ratio with respect to the ratio between the pixel count of display floater 21, as the 1st pixel ratio.

At S40 ~ S60, the above-mentioned exercises of carrying out at height Z1, on height Z2, carry out too, its result, calculating and photograph the parts number that checks with the capturing element of image in the capturing element of shoot part 12 is the pixel ratio with respect to the ratio between the pixel count of display floater 21, as the 2nd pixel ratio.

At this, the step of S10 ~ S30 and the step of S40 ~ S60 can the transposing orders.And pixel also can directly be obtained above-mentioned each value of being calculated by parts number count section 110 from parts number count section 110 than calculating part 120.

Secondly, at S70, suppose that by the 1st pixel ratio and the 1st that pixel calculates than calculating part 120 the represented point of shooting condition (height Z1) is the 1st shooting point (P1), suppose that by the 2nd pixel ratio and the 2nd that pixel calculates than calculating part 120 the represented point of shooting condition (height Z2) is the 2nd shooting point (P2), function configuration part 130 is set as the inverse ratio curve by the 1st shooting point (P1) and the 2nd shooting point (P2) for the shooting condition determining function L that determines shooting condition.

Secondly, at S80, shooting condition determination section 140 determines among the shooting condition determining function L that sets in function configuration part 130 pixel than being the shooting condition of integer, and with this shooting condition as the shoot part 12 of uneven timing.Then, adjust the distance adjusting device 250 of shooting condition determination section 140 sends the shooting condition information, and this shooting condition information is the information of shooting condition of the reality of the uneven timing shoot part 12 of expression.

Secondly, at S90, distance adjusting means 250 is obtained above-mentioned shooting condition information from shooting condition determination section 140, and regulates the shooting condition (shooting height) of shoot part 12 according to this shooting condition information.

At last, at S100, under the shooting condition (shooting height) of the shoot part 12 that distance adjusting means 250 is regulated, utilize shoot part 12 to carry out inequality and proofread and correct.

[effect of shooting condition determination device 100]

Below, illustrate and utilize shooting condition determination device 100 resulting effects.

According to said structure, in shooting condition determination device 100 and shooting condition determining method of the present invention, the 1st pixel that will be calculated than calculating part 120 by pixel than and height Z1 represented o'clock as the 1st shooting point (P1), the 2nd pixel that will be calculated than calculating part 120 by pixel than and height Z2 represented o'clock as the 2nd shooting point (P2), function configuration part 130 is set as the inverse ratio curve by the 1st shooting point (P1) and the 2nd shooting point (P2) for the shooting condition determining function L that determines shooting condition.

At this, height Z1 and height Z2 are, by 2 the hypothesis shooting conditions of shoot part 12 shootings when image is used in the inspection of display floater 21 demonstrations.And, the 1st pixel than and the 2nd pixel ratio be respectively, on height Z1 and height Z2, photograph in the capturing element of shoot part 12 and check that be the pixel ratio with the parts number of the capturing element of image with respect to the ratio of the pixel count of display floater 21.

And pixel is shooting condition than determining for the hypothesis shooting condition of integer (Q1, Q2) among the shooting condition determining function L that shooting condition determination section 140 sets function configuration part 130.

Namely, in shooting condition determination device 100 and shooting condition determining method of the present invention, photographing the proportionate relationship that checks with between the pixel count of the parts number of the capturing element of pixel and display floater 21 in the capturing element of shoot part 12 is that N:1(N is the integer more than 1) hypothesis shooting condition Q1, Q2 be decided to be shooting condition.Thus, can make N pixel element of shoot part 12 corresponding to 1 pixel of display floater 21, thereby can make N capturing element of shoot part 12 come the brightness data of 1 pixel of display floater 21 is taken.

For example compare to photograph in the capturing element of shoot part 12 have 2.7:1 between the pixel count that checks with the parts number of the capturing element of pixel and display floater 21 relation (namely, do not have integer relation) situation, under above-mentioned shooting condition with integer ratio relationship, owing to can make N capturing element of shoot part 12 corresponding to 1 pixel of display floater 21, thereby can make the capturing element of shoot part 12 more reliably and correctly take the brightness data of 1 pixel of display floater 21.

Therefore, in the correction (the uneven correction) of the brightness disproportionation of the display floater 21 that after according to shooting condition determination device 100 and shooting condition determining method of the present invention decision shooting condition, carries out, shoot part 12 can be more reliably and is correctly obtained the monochrome information of each pixel of display floater 21, its result can carry out better inequality and proofread and correct.

Again it, shooting condition is to decide according to the shooting condition determining function L that function configuration part 130 sets, rather than decides according to computing.Therefore, can be rapidly and correctly determine the shooting condition of realizing that good inequality is proofreaied and correct.

And, because inspection shown on the display floater 21 occurs sharply to change in its brightness of the end of display floater 21 (brightness data) with image, so, can utilize the variation of above-mentioned brightness, easily calculate and photograph the parts number that checks with the capturing element of image in the capturing element of shoot part 12.

And height Z1 and height Z2 are optional hypothesis shooting condition.So, when determining shooting condition, can not cause excessive burden to the user, thus can be to the good shooting condition determination device 100 of facilitating property of user.

At this, illustrate by shooting condition determination device 100 and the resulting above-mentioned effect of shooting condition determining method of the present invention based on Figure 38 ~ Figure 40.In each figure, for convenience of description, the pixel count of display floater 21 is assumed to be 8, photographs the parts number that checks with the capturing element of image in the capturing element of shoot part 12 and is assumed to be respectively 16,20,12, and, show the pixel of display floater 21 and the capturing element of shoot part 23 with 1 dimension.And " zero " among each figure in the chart shown in the brightness of pixel represents this locational brightness, will be taken by the capturing element of shoot part 12.

Figure 38 is, in order to illustrate that the pixel count at display floater 21 is 8, photographs the parts number that checks with the capturing element of image in the capturing element of shoot part 12 and is in 16 the situation, the skeleton diagram of the brightness (brightness data) that capturing element is captured.And, among Figure 38, be considered as distance adjusting means 250 and shoot part 12 be adjusted to the state shown in the shooting condition.

As shown in figure 38, photograph inspection in the capturing element of shoot part 12 and have the relation of 2:1 with the parts number (16) of the capturing element of image and the pixel count (8) of display floater 21.Thus, can make 2 capturing elements of shoot part 12 corresponding to 1 pixel of display floater 21, thereby can make N capturing element shooting of shoot part 12 about the brightness data of 1 pixel of display floater 21.

And among Figure 38, each pixel of display floater 21 and the gap between pixel are depended in the position of " zero ".According to the method described above, by the predetermined position that can obtain brightness data, the captured brightness data of the capturing element of shoot part 12 is corresponding to the gap between pixel and pixel, and becomes and periodically produce the bright and dark shape (Figure 38) that is similar to sine wave.This means that the capturing element of shoot part 12 can be more reliable and be correctly taken the brightness data of 1 pixel of display floater 21.Therefore, after having determined shooting condition by shooting condition determination device 100 and shooting condition determining method of the present invention, the brightness disproportionation that carries out again display floater 21 is proofreaied and correct in (the uneven correction), can make shoot part 12 more reliably and correctly obtain the monochrome information of each pixel of display floater 21, its result, after inequality proofread and correct to process, can carry out better inequality and proofread and correct.

As mentioned above, shooting condition determined be, photographs the parts number that checks with the capturing element of pixel in the capturing element of shoot part 12 and have the relation of N:1 with the pixel count of display floater 21, can after inequality correction processing in, obtain better result.

Figure 39 is, for illustrate pixel count at display floater 21 be 8 and the capturing element of shoot part 12 in to photograph the parts number that checks with the capturing element of image be in 20 the situation, the skeleton diagram of the brightness (brightness data) that capturing element is captured.And in the figure, distance adjusting means 250 is not adjusted to shooting height the state shown in the shooting condition of shoot part 12.Also identical in Figure 40.

As shown in figure 39, photograph inspection in the capturing element of shoot part 12 and have the relation of 2.5:1 with the parts number (20) of the capturing element of image and the pixel count (8) of display floater 21, namely do not have the relation of above-mentioned ratio of integers.Thus, 2.5 capturing elements of shoot part 12 are corresponding to 1 pixel of display floater 21, thereby the capturing element of shoot part 12 can not correctly be taken the brightness data of the pixel of display floater 21.

Thus, picture is not as shown in Figure 38, position (" zero " position) to the brightness data of the capturing element of shoot part 12 pixel that will take, display floater 21 determines, and the taken brightness data of the capturing element of shoot part 12 can not form and periodically produce the bright and dark sinusoidal wave shape that is similar to.

Therefore, when photographing the pixel count that checks with the parts number of the capturing element of image and display floater 21 in the capturing element of shoot part 12 and not having concerning of ratio of integers, the capturing element of shoot part 12 can not correctly photograph the brightness data of 1 pixel of display floater 21.

Figure 40 is, for illustrate pixel count at display floater be 8 and the capturing element of filming apparatus in to photograph the parts number that checks with the capturing element of image be in 12 the situation, the skeleton diagram of the brightness (brightness data) that capturing element is captured.At this moment, photograph inspection in the capturing element of shoot part 12 and have the relation of 1.5:1 with the parts number (12) of the capturing element of image and the pixel count (8) of display floater 21, namely do not have the relation of above-mentioned ratio of integers.Therefore, identical with situation shown in Figure 39, the capturing element of shoot part 12 can not correctly photograph the brightness data of 1 pixel of display floater 21.

Thus, photographing the pixel count that checks with the parts number of the capturing element of pixel and display floater 21 in the capturing element of shoot part 12, to have N:1(N be integer more than 1) concern the time, can after inequality correction processing in, obtain better result.And, for shooting condition determination device 100 of the present invention and shooting condition determining method, exactly shooting condition is determined as having the pixel ratio of N:1.

Again it, shooting condition determination device 100 of the present invention can constitute, shooting condition determination section 140 than having when a plurality of for the hypothesis shooting condition of integer, will determine to be shooting condition in pixel with the corresponding hypothesis shooting condition of larger integer.

When the pixel ratio is a plurality of for the hypothesis shooting condition of integer has, preferably will determine to be shooting condition with the corresponding hypothesis shooting condition of larger integer.Thus, can maximally utilise the capturing element of shoot part 12, thereby more accurately obtain the monochrome information of display floater 21.In the situation of the scope of the capturing element that is no more than shoot part 12, can determine to be shooting condition with the corresponding hypothesis shooting condition of larger integer.

Again it, in shooting condition determination device 100 of the present invention, shooting condition can be expressed as, the device space that display floater 21 and shoot part are 12 is from, the perhaps shooting multiplying power of shoot part 12.

The device space that display floater 21 and shoot part are 12 from, perhaps the shooting multiplying power of shoot part 12 is, as the shooting condition of shoot part 12 and the condition of regulating easily.

Therefore, according to said structure, the user can easily regulate shooting condition, thereby can realize for the user, the shooting condition determination device 100 that convenience is good.

Again it, shooting condition determination device 100 of the present invention can constitute, shooting condition determination section 140 will represent that the shooting condition information of shooting condition sends to distance adjusting means 250, and distance adjusting means 250 is adjusted to the state shown in the shooting condition according to shooting condition information with shoot part 12.

According to said structure, the shooting condition information of expression shooting condition sends to distance adjusting means 250 from shooting condition determination section 140, and distance adjusting means 250 is adjusted to the state shown in the shooting condition according to shooting condition information with shoot part 12.

Therefore, because shooting condition is regulated by distance adjusting means 250, the user there is no need the self-regulation shooting condition.And distance adjusting means 250 is adjusted to the state shown in the shooting condition with shoot part 12, thereby, compare with user's self-regulation, can expect to obtain more reliable adjusting.Therefore, according to said structure, can carry out better uneven calibration result.

And, shooting condition be device space from the time, distance adjusting means 250 has the function of distance between adjusting device.At this moment, the method for distance is not done restriction between the adjusting device of adjusting the distance 250 adjusting devices, can utilize the prior art in the every field.

In addition, shooting condition is when taking multiplying power, and distance adjusting means 250 has regulates the function of taking multiplying power.At this moment, distance adjusting means 250 is regulated the method for taking multiplying power and is not done restriction, can utilize the prior art in the every field.

And, shooting condition determination device 100 can utilize computer to realize, at this moment, computer can be used as each one (pixel is than calculating part 120, function configuration part 130, shooting condition determination section 140) execution action, therefore, make the shooting condition determination procedure of computer realization shooting condition device 100 and the recording medium that stores the embodied on computer readable of this program, be also contained in the category of the present invention.

And, have shooting condition determination device 100, be used for uneven corrective system that the brightness disproportionation of display floater 21 is proofreaied and correct, be also contained in the category of the present invention.

And, as uneven corrective system, can be existing uneven means for correcting, also can utilize uneven corrective system 200 shown in Figure 32.

(execution mode 11)

Below, describe with regard to another embodiment of the present invention.At this, for convenience of description, for above-mentioned execution mode in have an identical function parts give identical label, and description thereof is omitted.

In the present embodiment, for inspection image shown on display floater 21, when each pixel of display floater 21 has the systematicness demonstration, shoot part 12 will be taken respectively the inspection image that systematicness shows, pixel with 1 image that image obtains, calculates above-mentioned pixel ratio than the synthetic inspection with systematicness demonstration that photographs respectively of calculating part 120 bases.Below, describe based on Figure 41.

Figure 41 is that expression shoot part 12 is taken respectively the inspection image that systematicness shows, and each inspection that will photograph synthesizes the situation of 1 image with image.

As shown in figure 41, be divided into to a plurality of pixel systematicness on the display floater 21 4 zones.And, for 4 zones that systematicness ground is cut apart, give respectively 1 ~ 4 number.At this, Segmentation Number is not limited in 4, can be other numbers.

At this, shoot part 12 is taken respectively the inspection image that above-mentioned systematicness shows.And, the inspection with systematicness demonstration that photographs is respectively synthesized 1 image with image.At this, a plurality of pixels that photograph are synthesized the method for 1 image, can utilize well-known method.

Secondly, pixel according to the inspection with systematicness demonstration that photographs is respectively synthesized 1 image that obtains with image, calculates above-mentioned pixel ratio than calculating part 120.Thereafter, function configuration part 130 and shooting condition determination section 140 are carried out above-mentioned each action, thus, can determine to make display floater 21 to carry out the suitably shooting condition of the uneven shoot part 12 of proofreading and correct.

As mentioned above, on the display floater 21 shown inspection with image when each pixel of display floater 21 has systematicness and shows, shoot part 12 is taken respectively has the inspection image that above-mentioned systematicness shows, pixel than calculating part 120 according to systematicness shows to having of photographing respectively inspection with 1 image that image is synthesized into, calculate the pixel ratio.Thus, the display floater 21 that also can determine to send as an envoy to carries out the shooting condition of suitable uneven timing shoot part 12.

At this, about the structure of present embodiment, high in the resolution of display floater 21, the resolution of shoot part 12 is low, and shown inspection also can realize when each pixel of display floater 21 has the systematicness demonstration with image on the display floater 21.

And, according to said structure, for example, a plurality of pixels of display floater 21 are divided into 4 zones according to rule, and will check when showing successively according to this rule with image, can obtain the resolution of shoot part 12 is brought up to another effect of 4 times (identical with Segmentation Number).And, according to said structure, high in the resolution of display floater 21, in the low situation of the resolution of shoot part 12, also can take the inspection image that each pixel at display floater 21 shows, the brightness (brightness data) of obtaining each pixel by shoot part 12.

[proofreading and correct processing about inequality]

Below, the inequality correction processing of carrying out behind the shooting condition that determines shoot part 12 with regard to shooting condition determination device 100 describes.Yet following inequality is proofreaied and correct and processed only is 1 example, also can utilize well-known method to carry out inequality and proofread and correct processing.

At first, before correction is processed and described to inequality, based on Figure 42 the uneven treatment process flow process before of proofreading and correct is described.Figure 42 is for the uneven flow chart that treatment process panel before checks of proofreading and correct is described.

At first, at S200, carry out the inspection of lighting a lamp of display floater.At this, display floater is liquid crystal indicator, plasma display or OLED display etc., has to be configured to rectangular a plurality of image element circuits.

Secondly, in S210, confirm whether there is brightness disproportionation on the display floater 21.At this, brightness disproportionation is that the display brightness of display floater 21 is secretly in the locality zone of the brightness of expecting or bright brightness in expecting.And, when S210 confirms as "No", enter S220.That is, enter S220 when not having brightness disproportionation, can judge that therefore this display floater 21 is good product.

When in S210, confirming as "Yes", enter S230.At S230, judge whether storing correction data in the memory of display floater 21.And, when S230 is judged as "Yes", entering S240, display floater 21 is judged as defective products.That is, when storing correction data in the above-mentioned memory, illustrate that finishing uneven the correction processes.Usually, only carry out 1 uneven correction and process, therefore, when in the S230 memory, storing correction data, judge that this display floater 21 is defective products.

In other words, in said structure or method, the gimmick of processing by expanding so-called halftoning (halftone), one part of pixel in the contained pixel of correcting area is chosen as the adjustment correction pixels, and makes for the correcting value of the GTG value of adjusting correction pixels different with the correcting value for the GTG value of the contained pixel except the adjustment correction pixels of this correcting area.

So, can make the people visual to image effect close to: make the brightness value of all pixels in the correcting area increase in the same manner or reduce less than the brightness value suitable with 1 GTG of display image data (in other words, be equivalent to fractional part in the display image data non-be 0 GTG value, brightness value) the rear effect of resulting image.Namely, can simulation ground realize and will implement in the same manner to proofread and correct to the brightness value of all pixels in the correcting area: less than the brightness value suitable with 1 GTG of display image data (in other words, be equivalent to fractional part in the display image data non-be 0 GTG value, brightness value).Therefore can prevent definitely visual to brightness disproportionation.

In addition, by above method, as long as merely each that the correcting area of display image data is contained GTG value correcting value of adjusting the correcting value of GTG value of correction pixels and each pixel except the adjustment correction pixels adds to the brightness value of contained each pixel of this correcting area and just can, therefore need not to arrange multiplier or integrating circuit, and can realize simple structure.Thus, can come the definitely brightness disproportionation of correcting display device with simple circuit.

About proofread and correct the method for display image data with above-mentioned correction data, because the fineness of the display of display unit is higher, resolution is just higher, the increase of pixel count is also more remarkable, and therefore this Secondary cases problem of nonvolatile storage capacity can occur to exceed in order to the amount of information of correcting luminance inequality.

For solving such Secondary cases problem, in correction data storage part or correction data storage operation, corresponding to the display frame of reference resolution predefined correction data namely, N Reference Alignment data and be stored with information in order to the correction data expansion that generates according to these N Reference Alignment data for the correction data of the demonstration image of predetermined resolution.

In addition, generate in the operation in correction data generating unit or correction data, the correction data expansion of using the correction data storage part to store is used information with the correction data expansion of storing in information or the correction data storage operation, generates correction data according to the N Reference Alignment data.

At this, " correction data expansion use information " is: the information of utilizing when corrected rate being fixed generate the correction data corresponding with the display frame of predetermined resolution.

In addition, " corrected rate " is, ratio between the quantity of the pixel that the quantity of the adjustment correction pixels that will select at least among the contained pixel of correcting area in order to change the GTG value is contained with respect to this correcting area, this ratio is to calculate with respect to the size of the ratio between the suitable brightness value of 1 GTG according to luminance difference, the brightness value that this 1 GTG is suitable is, the suitable brightness value of 1 GTG when the image corresponding with display image data is shown in the display frame of reference resolution, above-mentioned luminance difference is, with check when being shown in the display frame of reference resolution with image corresponding to view data brightness value and corresponding to obtaining difference between the appropriate brightness value of this inspection with view data.

Thus, even have the display frame of the resolution different from reference resolution, also can according to the N Reference Alignment data corresponding with the display frame of reference resolution, generate the correction data corresponding with the display frame of predetermined resolution.

For example, each contained in the correcting area corresponding with the display frame of predetermined resolution pixel is divided into groups take 4 as a unit, and 1 group as 1 unit picture element, at this moment, if with the N Reference Alignment data application in this unit picture element, the quantity that can make so in fact the quantity of respectively adjusting correction pixels and adjust each pixel beyond the correction pixels increases by 4 times, therefore can make simply the correction data corresponding with the demonstration image of 2 times resolution.

Therefore, as long as corresponding reference resolution generates the N Reference Alignment data in advance, regardless of the resolution of display frame (that is, no matter the height of high definition), can both generate correction data so.Therefore, need not to make to generate by the display frame of each different resolution the algorithm of correction data.

For example, when predetermined resolution is higher than reference resolution, can generate the correction data corresponding with high-resolution display frame with the less N Reference Alignment data of amount of information.

In addition, in above-mentioned method, except the N Reference Alignment data, also need correction data expansion information.About the amount of information of correction data expansion with information, if the algorithm when generating correction data according to reference data improves, than the direct generation correction data corresponding with high-resolution display frame, can significantly reduce the amount of information that information is used in the correction data expansion so.

Thus, no matter the height of high definition can both come the definitely brightness disproportionation of correcting display device with simple circuit.
