Please refer to Fig. 1, what it illustrated is the schematic diagram implementing display power-saving technology according to one embodiment of the invention in a display 10.Display 10 comprises a panel 12 (such as a liquid crystal panel) and a light source 14 (such as a back light); Panel 12 is provided with multiple pixel cell, represents in the 1st figure with pixel cell U [i, j].The transparency (penetrance) of pixel cell U [i, j] to light source 14 is controlled by the input data luminance DataIN [i, j] of a correspondence, such as, Y-component data in YCrCb color space.The light luminance that light source 14 provides then is controlled by an input queued switches PWMin; For example, the brightness of light source 14 can be controlled by the driving signal of pulse-width modulation (pulse width modulation), and this drives work period (duty cycle) size of signal just to represent the motivation value size of input queued switches PWMin; The motivation value of input queued switches PWMin is larger, and drive the work period of signal larger, the brightness that light source 14 provides for panel 12 is also higher.
Display 10 in pixel cell U [i, j] the actual brightness presented can be expressed as display brightness value Y [i, j]; Display brightness value Y [i, j] can depend on the brightness of light source 14 and the corresponding luminance data values size inputting data luminance DataIN [i, j].The brightness controlled provided due to light source 14 is in input queued switches PWMin, therefore display brightness value Y [i, j] can be expressed as input queued switches PWMin and input data luminance DataIN [i, j] function: Y [i, j]=L (DataIn [i, j], PWMin); Wherein, function L (. .) represent the brightness display characteristic of display 10.Different displays can have different display characteristics.In practice, the display characteristic that can pass through measurement display 10 to set up follow-up brightness/motivation value switching foundation, such as, sets up the relation table of a display characteristic.
One is made up of multiple pixel in order to the picture 16 be presented on indicator screen, and the function mode of the plurality of pixel is that essence is identical in category of the present invention; In FIG, representatively chat bright with pixel p [i, j].Pixel p [i, j] can be associated to a raw data brightness Data0 [i, j], and it is the brightness data of pixel p [i, j].When display 10 will show this picture 16 under an original light-source brightness, pixel cell U [i, j] can in order to display pixel p [i, j], therefore raw data brightness Data0 [i, j] can as input data luminance DataIN [i, j], original driving PWM0 corresponding to original light source brightness is then as input queued switches PWMin.
The present invention is that the display 10 of the present embodiment realizes energy-conservation display technique, corresponding Energy-saving Data brightness DataSV [i, j] be provided to drive PWMsv with energy-conservation according to the raw data brightness Data0 [i, j] of image frame 16 and the original PWM0 of driving; Energy-saving Data brightness DataSV [i, j] and the energy-conservation PWMsv of driving can replace raw data brightness Data0 [i, j] and drive PWM0 with original.When display 10 according to raw data brightness Data0 [i, j] with original drive PWM0 display frame 16 time, its power consumption is higher; Relatively, when display 10 according to Energy-saving Data brightness DataSV [i, j] with energy-conservation drive PWMsv display frame 16 time, its power consumption just can reduce, and reaches the object of energy saving.The energy-conservation driving PWMsv that luminance data values luminance data values is lower effectively can reduce the power consumption of light source 14, and even the overall power of display 10, on the other hand, larger Energy-saving Data brightness DataSV [i, j] then can compensation pixel p [i, j] because of darker the lost brightness of light source 12, therefore, in order to suitably maintain image quality, (such as display 10 is in pixel cell U [i, j] in pixel p [i, j] the actual brightness presented, i.e. display brightness value Y [i, j], and/or the bright blindstory of overall picture), Energy-saving Data brightness DataSV [i, j] data value can be greater than raw data brightness Data0 [i, j] data value, make the motivation value of energy-conservation driving PWMsv can be less than the motivation value of original driving PWM0.
Please refer to Fig. 2, what it was illustrated is according to the flow process 100 of one embodiment of the invention, can be applicable to Fig. 1 display 10, to realize energy-conservation display technique of the present invention.The key step of flow process 100 can be described below.
Step 102: start.When display 10 prepares to show a picture 16, just flow process 100 can be started.
Step 104: many raw data brightness Data0 [i, j] receiving many pixels of picture 16, and provide one to represent data luminance DataRP according to these raw data brightness Data0 [i, j].Because display 10 is be made up of the panel 12 and light source 14 with many pixel cells U [i, j], corresponding to multi input data luminance DataIN [i, j], light source 14 only can provide the single brightness corresponding to same input queued switches PWMin.Accordingly, at calculating input queued switches PWMin with before replacing original driving PWM0, must first from raw data brightness Data0 [i, j] in select or calculate single representative data brightness DataRP, obtain corresponding single input queued switches PWMin in order to do making the present invention through this single representative data brightness DataRP.Thereafter and as the anti-new input data luminance DataIN [i, j] pushed away corresponding to each pixel p [i, j] of benchmark.All the other steps describe in detail as after.In step 104, several different patterns available determine representative data brightness DataRP.In one embodiment, under an image quality mode of priority, can at all raw data brightness Data0 [i of picture 16, j] the middle raw data brightness representatively data luminance DataRP selecting luminance data values maximum, that is the maximal value Data0_max directly making representative data brightness DataRP equal in raw data brightness Data0 [i, j].In another embodiment, under an energy conservation priority pattern, representative data brightness DataRP can be determined according to a certain statistical property of all raw data brightness Data0 [i, j], in such a mode, representative data brightness DataRP can be less than raw data brightness maxima Data0_max.Under being below described in energy conservation priority pattern, select an embodiment of representative data brightness DataRP.
As shown in Figure 3 according to the mode determining representative data brightness in one embodiment of the invention.In step 104, comprise first to many raw data brightness Data0 [i of picture 16, j] carry out a Histogram statistics 18, with by these raw data brightness Data0 [i, j] be sequentially classified to from large to small multiple order group h [1] from high to low, h [2] ..., h [m] to h [M], wherein M can be one preset integer.For example, group h [m] can be associated with one group of luminance data values scope d [m-1] to d [m] preset; If the data value of a certain raw data brightness Data0 [i0, j0] is less than luminance data values d [m-1] and is greater than luminance data values d [m], this raw data brightness Data0 [i0, j0] just can be classified in this group h [m].In this embodiment, in the classified group h [1] the highest to order of raw data brightness maxima Data0_max.
Under energy conservation priority pattern, group H [1] to H [K] can be represented by selecting K in group h [1] to h [M] further, respectively representing group H [k] corresponding and representing number N r [k]; Wherein, by the highest group h [1] of order to each represent group H [k] the number of raw data brightness Data0 [i, j] that adds up meet each representative number N r [k] represented corresponding to group H [k].For example, suppose that picture 16 has N raw data brightness Data0 [i, j], represent a certain number percent that number N r [k] then can equal N; If by group h [1], h [2] to group h [m0] the raw data brightness number that adds up meet represent number N r [k] (such as: accumulative number with represent number N r [k] closest to but be not less than represent number N r [k]), elect one as by group h [m0] and represent group H [k].For example, as shown in Figure 4, in one embodiment, K can equal 4, Nr [1] to Nr [4] and can equal N*1/100 respectively, N*2/100, N*4/100 and N*8/100; That is, by all N raw data brightness Data [i, j] from large to small sequence grouping after, represent group corresponding to module H [1] by the highest group h [1] of order to first to contain luminance data values altogether and sort in the raw data brightness Data0 [i of front 1%, j], by group h [1] to the 4th the raw data brightness Data0 [i representing group corresponding to module H [4] and contain, j] luminance data values then contains the raw data brightness Data0 [i, j] sorted in front 8%.
According to the statistical property of each raw data brightness Data0 [i, j] represented in group H [1] to H [K], namely can be energy conservation priority pattern and representative data brightness DataRP is provided.For example, the statistical property that can represent the raw data brightness Data0 [i, j] of group H [k] according to group h [1] to each and be respectively represent the accurate representative data brightness PseuMAX [k] that group H [k] provides a correspondence.Such as, accurate representative data brightness PseuMAX [k] can be that group h [1] is to the mean value or the minimum value that represent all raw data brightness Data0 [i, j] in group H [k].Further, the DataRP of the representative data brightness under energy conservation priority pattern can be provided according to accurate representative data brightness PseuMAX [1] to PseuMAX [K].For example, representative data brightness DataRP can be made to equal average to PseuMAX [K] of accurate representative data brightness PseuMAX [1].Representative data brightness DataRP under energy conservation priority pattern can be less than raw data brightness maxima Data0_max.
Except predefined only can set the previous embodiment of representative data brightness DataRP with image quality mode of priority or energy conservation priority model selection, in another embodiment, which kind of in step 104, can be selected pattern will set representative data brightness DataRP with by the user of display 10.In another embodiment, dynamically provide an intensity according to each group h [1] to the number of the raw data brightness Data0 [i, j] in h [M]; If intensity meets a concentrated condition preset, then with image quality mode of priority setting representative data brightness DataRP, namely with raw data brightness maxima Data0_max representatively data luminance DataRP.Relatively, if intensity does not meet concentrated condition, then available energy-conservation mode of priority setting representative data brightness DataRP, makes representative data brightness DataRP be less than raw data brightness maxima Data0_max.In an embodiment, the assessment of intensity can be: in the group that preset number is adjacent the raw data brightness Data0 [i that adds up, j] number whether more than one preset concentrate accumulative number (this concentrates accumulative number can be a preset percentage of total N), if so, be then judged as meeting concentrated condition.In other words, when carrying out flow process 100 to different pictures 16, the indivedual intensities dynamically according to different pictures select different mode to set each self-corresponding representative data brightness DataRP of different pictures respectively.
When meeting concentrated condition, represent that the luminance data values of most raw data brightness Data0 [i, j] is all more or less the same and concentrates near a certain luminance data values; That is the major part of picture can present homogeneous and change little brightness.Such as, an entirely black display frame.When showing the picture of this kind of brightness uniformity, focusing on of focusing on does not make luminance distortion; Therefore, image quality mode of priority can be selected to set representative data brightness DataRP, the bright blindstory of picture can not be compressed.Relatively, if a certain picture does not meet concentrated condition, represent that the light and shade change of this picture is more, user not easily discovers the distortion slightly of the shade of grey when watching picture, therefore energy conservation priority pattern can be selected to set representative data brightness DataRP, to promote energy-conservation effect.
In another embodiment, in time stipulating concentrated condition, also the intensity of raw data brightness Data0 [i, j] can be assessed according to the standard deviation (standard deviation) of all raw data brightness Data0 [i, j] or similar statistical property; For example, compared with the luminance data values scope d [m-1] to d [m] of each group h [m], if standard deviation is divided by luminance data values range size | d [m-1]-d [m] | ratio be less than a certain default ratio, be then judged as meeting concentrated condition.
Step 106: the luminance data values having set representative data brightness DataRP in step 104.Then, in step 106, just can according to the original driving motivation value of PWM0 and the luminance data values of representative data brightness DataRP, by display characteristic L (., .) in check out the display brightness value Y=L (DataRP, PWM0) of a correspondence, using as a target display brightness value Ypr, namely Ypr=L (DataRP, PWM0).Please refer to Fig. 1, equivalence, if display 10 is with original driving PWM0 driving light source 14 and using representative data brightness DataRP as a certain pixel cell U [i, j] input data luminance DataIN [i, j], namely the display brightness value that then this pixel cell U [i, j] presents equals target display brightness value Ypr.In practice, the display characteristic L of in advance measurements (. .) can the form of comparison list present, in detail as following.
Please refer to Fig. 5, what it was illustrated is according to one embodiment of the invention, display characteristic L (. .) the luminance data values DataL of 0 to 255 and the motivation value PWM of 0 to 100 are associated to corresponding display brightness value Y as how comparison list form.In the present embodiment, original driving PWM0 corresponds to motivation value PWM, raw data brightness Data0 [i, j] and representative data brightness DataRP and corresponds to luminance data values DataL.In Figure 5, be 0,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90 and 100 with motivation value PWM, luminance data values DataL be 255,240,224,208,192,176,160,144,128,112,96,80,64,48,32,16 and 0 be combined as example to illustrate display characteristic L (. .) how the luminance data values DataL of 0 to 255 and the motivation value PWM of 0 to 100 are associated to corresponding display brightness value Y.For example, as shown in Figure 5, when motivation value PWM and luminance data values DataL is respectively 100 and 255, the brightness shown on display 10 is the highest, and its display brightness value Y can be turned to 255 by regular.When motivation value PWM and luminance data values DataL is respectively 100 and 128, display brightness value Y then can be reduced to 71.If when motivation value PWM and luminance data values DataL is respectively 70 and 255, display brightness value Y is then 164.Different motivation value PWM and luminance data values DataL combines and also can correspond to same display brightness value Y; For example, when motivation value PWM and luminance data values DataL is respectively 70 and 160, display brightness value Y is 69; When motivation value PWM and luminance data values DataL is respectively 40 and 255, display brightness value Y equals 69 too.
Step 108: the target display brightness value Ypr of step 106 is substituting in a reference curve V (.), by checking out one group of corresponding brightness value and motivation value in reference curve V (Ypr), energy-conservationly drive PWMsv0 respectively as a reference data DataT and.Each display brightness value Y is associated to the luminance data values DataL of the correspondence motivation value PWM corresponding with by reference curve V (Y) respectively, i.e. V (Y)=(DataL, PWM).With reference to the embodiment of figure 5, in display characteristic L (., .) in, one group of luminance data values DataL and motivation value PWM corresponds to a display brightness value Y only, but this display brightness value Y in fact may correspond in not only one group of luminance data values DataL and motivation value PWM.So reference curve V (.) display characteristic L (. .) the table of comparisons under a funtcional relationship, make each display brightness value Y only can be associated to the luminance data values DataL of the correspondence motivation value PWM corresponding with.Namely step 108 is definition this reference curve V (.), and bring target display brightness value Ypr to display brightness value Y into, and namely the input data luminance value DataL that V (Ypr) is associated and motivation value PWM is respectively benchmark inputs data luminance DataT and energy-conservationly drive PWMsv0.
In the part of definition this reference curve V (.), under display 10 does not adopt the situation of power saving display mode of the present invention, display 10 produces brightness usually under original driving PWM is the condition of maximum drive value (100); Please refer to the embodiment of Fig. 5, under original driving PWM is the condition of 100, the pass of input data luminance and display brightness is L (DataL, 100)=Ya, such as, be wherein L (176,100)=131.In the present embodiment, reference curve V (Y) can work out according to following principle.For the relation table L (DataL of the display characteristic of display 10, PWM)=Y, there is the combination (Data [1] of Q group luminance data values and motivation value, PWM [1]), (Data [2], PWM [2]), (Data [q], PWM [q]) to (Data [Q], PWM [Q]) all associate so far display brightness value Ya (i.e. L (Data [q] via display characteristic L, PWM [q])=Ya, to q=1 to Q), then can at this Q combination (Data [1], PWM [1]) to (Data [Q], PWM [Q]) in select one of them (Data [qs], PWM [qs]), make the corresponding a different set of luminance data values of display brightness value Ya and motivation value, to set this reference curve V (.).Namely make V (Ya)=(Data [qs], PWM [qs]).For example, at Q combination (Data [1], PWM [1]) to (Data [Q], PWM [Q]) in, minimum motivation value is selected as motivation value PWM [qs] in motivation value PWM [1] to PWM [Q], to make reference curve V (.), display brightness value Ya is associated to combination (Data [qs], PWM [qs]).In other words, (Data [1], PWM [1]) to (Data [Q], PWM [Q]) will be combined respectively as input data luminance DataIN [i, j] and input queued switches PWMin, display 10 all can demonstrate identical brightness display brightness value Ya; But the motivation value PWM [qs] of combination (Data [qs], PWM [qs]) is minimum, also just maximum power consumption can be saved.Accordingly, luminance data values Data [qs] can be maximum in luminance data values Data [1] to Data [Q].In one embodiment, a certain display brightness value Ya=131 being 100 times generations based on said PWM is example, in the relation table of the display characteristic of display 10 (as shown in Figure 5), finds the display brightness being similar to or equaling Ya=131.Following combination can be found in Figure 5, as: (192,90)=132, (208,80)=136, (255,60)=133 ... etc..Minimum at PWM have (being similar to) display brightness 133 met when being 60, and therefore, input data luminance 255 is obtained a respective value as working out in reference curve V (.).This embodiment takes the mode finding approximate former display brightness to the input data luminance finding reference curve corresponding, may in the mode of interpolation in other embodiment, and find the simulation corresponding with former display brightness and input data luminance, details are as follows.
On the other hand, when working out reference curve V (.), also light leakage phenomena can be considered in the lump.Because light leakage phenomena is started because the brightness in light source 14 is too low, in order to avoid/subtracting and press down light leakage phenomena, the brightness of light source 14 should have a brightness lower limit, and jointly, the motivation value of input queued switches PWMin also should have facing of a lower limit to limit motivation value PWM_th; Input queued switches PWMin should be greater than this and face limit motivation value PWM_th to avoid the generation of light leakage phenomena.Therefore, when stipulating reference curve V (.), when will from the combination of same display brightness value Ya (Data [1], PWM [1]) to (Data [Q], PWM [Q]) in when selecting one of them, if motivation value minimum in motivation value PWM [1] to PWM [Q] has been less than face limit motivation value PWM_th, then reference curve V (Ya) can be associated to combination (Data_Ya, PWM_th); Wherein, luminance data values Data_Ya can make L (Data_Ya, PWM_th)=Ya.Otherwise, if motivation value PWM [qs] minimum in motivation value PWM [1] to PWM [Q] is still greater than face limit motivation value PWM_th, then display brightness value Ya still can be associated to combination (Data [qs], PWM [qs]) by reference curve V (.).
Similarly in the 5 embodiment of figure 5, the motivation value of original driving PWM0 equals 100, and limit motivation value PWM_th (refer step 108) of facing avoiding light leakage phenomena to occur then is assumed to be 50.Upper limit luminance data values D_max then equals 255.Luminance data values extremely associated by reference curve V (Y) and combination of drive values (DataL, PWM) form track TR.Due to display characteristic L (.,) threshold value PWM_th (being 50 in this example) and upper limit luminance data values D_max (its value is 255) will be driven to be associated to the display brightness value Y of numerical value 100, therefore can be stipulated by numerical value 100 be accordingly face limit display brightness value Y_th.As shown in Figure 5, in this example, equal the horizontal line of upper limit luminance data values D_max along luminance data values DataL, reference curve V (.) is associated to upper limit luminance data values D_max by being greater than the display brightness value Y facing limit display brightness value Y_th; That is V (Y)=(D_max, PWM_hrz), to Y > Y_th; Wherein, motivation value PWM_hrz makes L (D_max, PWM_hrz)=Y.Moreover, equal to face limit display brightness value Y_th place at display brightness value Y, track TR transfers to vertically, reference curve V (.) equals to face limit motivation value PWM_th horizontal line along motivation value PWM faces limit motivation value PWM_th by being less than unified being associated to of the display brightness value Y facing limit display brightness value Y_th, i.e. V (Y)=(Data_vrt, PWM_th), to Y < Y_th; Wherein, luminance data values Data_vrt makes L (Data_vrt, PWM_th)=Y.
For example, if output valve Y equal respectively 255,221,194,164,133 and be greater than face limit display brightness value Y_th (=100) time, reference curve V (Y) draws luminance data values and combination of drive values (255 respectively, 100), (255,90), (255,80), (255,70), (255,60); In these combinations, luminance data values DataL is equal to upper limit luminance data values D_max.If output valve Y equal respectively 93,59,34 and be less than face limit display brightness value Y_th (=100), reference curve V (Y) draws combination (240 respectively, 50), (192,50), (144,50), motivation value PWM is equal to and faces limit motivation value PWM_th (=50).
Step 110: benchmark data DataT (drawing in step 108) provides a ratio A, as A=DataT/DataRP with the ratio DataT/DataRP of representative data brightness DataRP (drawing in step 104).
Step 112: provide corresponding Energy-saving Data brightness DataSV [i, j] according to the ratio A of step 110 and the product of each raw data brightness DataIn [i, j].For example, ratio A can equal DataT/DataRP, and Energy-saving Data brightness DataSV [i, j] can be: DataSV [i, j]=A*DataIn [i, j].Moreover, also can provide energy-conservation driving PWMsv (Fig. 1) according to the energy-conservation driving PWMsv0 of step 108.In one embodiment, step 110 can provide the energy-conservation driving PWMsv of a normal energy saver mode, and namely the energy-conservation driving PWMsv of normal energy saver mode equals energy-conservation driving PWMsv0.And/or step 110 can provide the energy-conservation driving PWMsv of a reinforcement energy saver mode; Strengthen under energy saver mode at this, the difference of dPWM (PWMsv0-dPWM) can be driven to provide energy-conservation drive PWMsv, such as, say it is make energy-conservation driving PWMsv=(PWMsv0-dPWM) according to default reduction of energy-conservation drivings PWMsv0 and.Or in another embodiment strengthening energy saver mode, energy-conservation driving PWMsv also can equal product Ap*PWMsv0, and wherein, ratio Ap is a preset value being less than 1.
Step 114: energy-conservation driving PWMsv and Energy-saving Data brightness DataSV [i, j] is substituting to respectively input queued switches PWMin and input data luminance DataIN [i, j], with display frame 16, and process ends 100.So, just energy-conservation display technique can be realized when taking into account image quality and light leakage phenomena.
Utilize Fig. 5 display characteristic L (. .) situation of carrying out flow process 100 with reference curve V (.) can be described below.In all raw data brightness Data0 [i, j] of picture 16, can maximal value wherein be elected as representative data brightness DataRP (step 104).Suppose that the representative data brightness DataRP of picture 16 equals 208, and the motivation value of original driving PWM0 is 100, then by display characteristic L (., .) can check out, when luminance data values DataL be 208, motivation value PWM be 100 time, the display brightness value Y of its correspondence is 181, i.e. target display brightness value Ypr=181 (step 106).Target display brightness value Ypr=181 is substituting to reference curve V (.), luminance data values DataL and the motivation value PWM that can check out its correspondence are respectively 255 and 75 (numerical value 75 can be obtained by numerical value 80 and 70 interpolation), that is, reference data DataT and the energy-conservation PWMsv0 that drives equals 255 and 75 (step 108) respectively.Then, ratio A=DataT/DataRP=255/208 (step 110) can be obtained by reference data DataT and representative data brightness DataRP, and can by DataSV [i, j]=A*Data0 [i, j] with PWMsv=PWMsv0 and provide Energy-saving Data brightness DataSV [i, j] to drive PWMsv (step 112,114 and Fig. 1) with energy-conservation.Display 10 can drive PWM0 display frame 16 according to raw data brightness Data0 [i, j] with original originally; But, when display 10 changes according to Energy-saving Data brightness DataSV [i, j] with energy-conservation drive PWMsv display frame 16 time, the image quality (as the shade of grey) not only shown can not be deteriorated, energy-conservation object can also be reached, because energy-conservation driving PWMsv=75, be less than original driving PWM0=100.Via the gain of ratio A, Energy-saving Data brightness DataSV [i, j] can be greater than raw data brightness Data0 [i, j], with the energy-conservation driving PWMsv that compensate for slower is low, and then maintains the image quality of picture display.For example, the maximal value in raw data brightness Data0 [i, j] is 181, and after via the gain of ratio A, the maximal value in Energy-saving Data brightness DataSV [i, j] can be increased to 255, namely the upper limit of luminance data values DataL; Therefore, the range of decrease between original driving PWM0 to energy-conservation driving PWMsv also can be maximum.Moreover, face limit motivation value PWM_th because energy-conservation driving PWMsv=75 is still greater than, therefore can not light leakage phenomena be caused.
Flow process 100 discloses advantage of the present invention: as shown in Figure 2, via target display brightness value Ypr, reference curve V (.) can when considering light leakage phenomena by representative data brightness DataRP (corresponding raw data brightness Data0 [i, j]) drive PWMsv0 with the reference data DataT (corresponding Energy-saving Data brightness DataSV [i, j]) that the original PWM0 of driving is associated under identical display brightness value with energy-conservation; Because display brightness value is identical, image quality can maintain.Moreover the luminance data values of representative data brightness DataRP can lower than reference data DataT, therefore energy-conservation driving PWMsv0 can lower than original driving PWM0, with power and energy saving.
If display 10 is for showing a series of multiple picture, such as, multiple picture frame pictures in dynamic image, then can carry out flow process 100 respectively to different pictures, to obtain different energy-conservation driving PWMsv, different ratio A and corresponding Energy-saving Data brightness adaptively for different pictures.
Another act one example; If the representative data brightness DataRP of picture 16 equals 112, the target display brightness value Ypr of numerical value 57 can be demonstrated under original motivation value PWM0, i.e. L (112,100)=57.V (57)=(189,50) can be checked out, i.e. reference data DataT=189 by reference curve V (.).Ratio A=DataT/DataRP=189/112 can be obtained thus, therefore raw data brightness Data0 [i, j] can be multiplied by ratio A with by gain to larger Energy-saving Data brightness DataSV [i, j], energy-conservation driving PWMsv then can drop to the lower energy-conservation driving PWMsv0=50 of power consumption by the original driving PWM0=100 that power consumption is higher accordingly.By display characteristic L (., .) known, if by representative data brightness DataRP gain to upper limit luminance data values D_max (namely 255), corresponding motivation value PWM can drop to about 35 (i.e. L (255,35)=L (112,100)=57); But, motivation value PWM=35 is lower than facing limit motivation value PWM_th (being 50 in this example).Therefore, when display brightness value Y be less than light leakage phenomena face limit display brightness value Y_th time, energy-conservation drivings PWMsv0 fixed correlation can be limit motivation value PWM_th, to avoid light leakage phenomena to facing by reference curve V (Y) in Fig. 5.
At proportion of utilization A by raw data brightness Data0 [i, j] gain is to Energy-saving Data brightness DataSV [i, j]=A*Data0 [i, j] time (such as step 112), if raw data brightness Data0 is [i, j] the red, green, blue three colouring component R [i of corresponding rgb color space, j], G [i, j] and B [i, j], then Energy-saving Data brightness DataSV [i, j] namely corresponding red, green, blue three colouring component be respectively component A * R [i, j], A*G [i, j] and A*B [i, j].If raw data brightness Data0 is [i, j] three-component Y [i, j], Cr [i, j] and the Cb [i of corresponding YCrCb color space, j], Y, Cr and the Cb three-component that then Energy-saving Data brightness DataSV [i, j] is corresponding is respectively component A * Y [i, j], Cr [i, j] and Cb [i, j], only luminance component Y [i, j] needs by gain.
