Description

Method and device for converting three-color data into four-color data
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of display, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for converting three-color data into four-color data.
Background
In general, a liquid crystal display generates a color to be displayed by color mixing of three color light sources generated by a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel and a blue sub-pixel. The RGB light source is formed by absorbing non-RGB light wave band by absorbing light resistance material in RGB sub-pixels (red sub-pixel, green sub-pixel and blue sub-pixel), so that RGB sub-pixels generate corresponding RGB light source. For example, the red photoresist of the red sub-pixel absorbs visible light in a non-red wavelength range and transmits visible light corresponding to the red wavelength range, and similarly, the green photoresist of the green sub-pixel absorbs visible light in a non-green wavelength range and transmits visible light corresponding to the green wavelength range, and the blue photoresist of the blue sub-pixel absorbs visible light in a non-blue wavelength range and transmits visible light corresponding to the blue wavelength range. Therefore, it can be understood that only part of the visible light backlight light source mainly comprising white light passes through the red, green and blue sub-pixels.
With the improvement of the display resolution, after the current common 4K resolution display is developed to an 8K resolution display, the increase of the sub-pixels leads to the decrease of the aperture ratio of the corresponding pixels, the transmittance of the high resolution display is reduced, and the light utilization rate is reduced. Therefore, corresponding to the development of the 4-color sub-pixels, except for the original red, green and blue sub-pixels corresponding to mixed colors, the 4 th sub-pixel development adopts a sub-pixel technology with high penetration rate, so that the display can have high resolution and can also take into account the improvement of the penetration rate of the display, the light efficiency is improved, and the high-resolution display can also take into account the cost of a backlight framework. The currently developed and commercialized 4-color sub-pixel is a color-mixed color display device composed of a white sub-pixel, a red sub-pixel, a green sub-pixel and a blue sub-pixel, wherein the white sub-pixel does not need a photoresist absorption material for absorbing visible light energy, so that the light penetration rate in the display device can be improved, and the light utilization efficiency can be further improved.
However, the currently commercially available 4-color sub-pixel product is an IPS (In-Plane Switching) liquid crystal display, which has the same transmittance at all wavelengths In the normal viewing angle and In the wide viewing angle and has the transmittance ratio at all wavelengths, so that the same color performance can be maintained In the optical characteristics of both the normal viewing angle and the wide viewing angle, and no color difference occurs. The VA (Vertical Alignment ) lcd has the characteristics of high throughput and low production cost compared to the IPS lcd, but because the characteristics of the full-wavelength transmittance of visible light at the normal viewing angle and the large viewing angle of the VA lcd are different, the optical characteristics of the VA lcd at the large viewing angle cannot be maintained the same as the colors of the VA lcd at the normal viewing angle, and the VA lcd has the problems of large viewing angle color shift defect, color distortion, and the like.

Detailed Description
In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more comprehensible, embodiments accompanying the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. This application is capable of embodiments in many different forms than those described herein and those skilled in the art will be able to make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the application and it is therefore not intended to be limited to the embodiments disclosed below.
The optical characteristics of the red, green and blue sub-pixels of the VA type LCD are different compared with the IPS LCD. The variation of the red, green and blue sub-pixel signals of the IPS display with respect to the optical luminance stimulus value varies as shown in fig. 1, the optical luminance stimulus value signals RY, GY and BY respectively corresponding to the red, green and blue sub-pixels vary the same, RY is taken as the stimulus value signal having the greatest association with the red sub-pixel, GY is taken as the stimulus value signal having the greatest association with the green sub-pixel, and BY is taken as the stimulus value signal having the greatest association with the blue sub-pixel.
Referring to fig. 2, in order to improve the picture quality, the sub-pixels are gain-processed BY using a fixed gain value, and the minimum value of RY ', GY' and BY 'after the gain processing is used as the normalized stimulus value signal WY of the white sub-pixel, the difference value between RY' and WY is used as the normalized stimulus value signal of the red sub-pixel, the difference value between GY 'and WY is used as the normalized stimulus value signal of the green sub-pixel, and the difference value between BY' and WY is used as the normalized stimulus value signal of the red sub-pixel, and then the corresponding gray level value is calculated and outputted according to the normalized stimulus value signal of each sub-pixel.
However, the variation of the red, green and blue sub-pixel signals of the VA lcd corresponding to the optical luminance stimulation value signals RY, GY and BY is as shown in fig. 3, and the variation of the red, green and blue sub-pixel signals corresponding to the optical luminance stimulation value signals is different, i.e. RY ≠ GY ≠ BY.
In the VA-type lcd, the red, green and blue sub-pixels mainly have the largest influence on the color mixture of RX stimulus values in the tri-stimulus value signals (RX, RY, RZ) of the red sub-pixel, GY stimulus values in the tri-stimulus value signals (GX, GY, GZ) of the green sub-pixel, and BZ stimulus values in the tri-stimulus value signals (BX, BY, BZ) of the blue sub-pixel. Referring to fig. 4, the proportional weight of the variation of the stimulus value signals RX, GY and BZ of the red, green and blue sub-pixels in fig. 4 (RX ≈ GY ≈ BZ) is closer to that of the variation of the stimulus value signals RY, GY and BY of the red, green and blue sub-pixels in fig. 3 (RY ≠ GY ≠ BY), and the determined stimulus value signals of the white pixels based on RX, GY and BZ can reduce the luminance difference of the pixel points in all directions to reduce the large viewing angle color difference.
Referring to fig. 5, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for converting three-color data into four-color data, including:
step S110, determining a first stimulus value signal having the largest influence on mixed color in the tristimulus value signals of the red sub-pixels in each pixel point, a second stimulus value signal having the largest influence on mixed color in the tristimulus value signals of the green sub-pixels, and a third stimulus value signal having the largest influence on mixed color in the tristimulus value signals of the blue sub-pixels;
step S120, respectively determining a gain value corresponding to each pixel point according to a preset rule and the first stimulus value signal, the second stimulus value signal and the third stimulus value signal corresponding to each pixel point;
step S130, performing gain processing on the first stimulus value signal, the second stimulus value signal, and the third stimulus value signal corresponding to each of the pixel points by using a gain value in each of the pixel points, and determining a normalized stimulus value signal of the white sub-pixel according to a minimum value among the first stimulus value signal after the gain processing, the second stimulus value signal after the gain processing, and the third stimulus value signal after the gain processing.
In this embodiment, the three-color data refers to RGB data, the four-color data refers to WRGB data, the three-color gamut refers to an RGB gamut, and the four-color gamut refers to a WRGB gamut.
It can be understood that in the conversion method provided by the present application, a gain value corresponding to each pixel point is respectively determined according to a preset rule and the first stimulus value signal, the second stimulus value signal, and the third stimulus value signal corresponding to each pixel point, then gain processing is performed on the first stimulus value signal, the second stimulus value signal, and the third stimulus value signal corresponding to the pixel point by using the gain value, and a normalized stimulus value signal of a white sub-pixel is determined according to a minimum value of the first stimulus value signal after gain processing, the second stimulus value signal after gain processing, and the third stimulus value signal after gain processing, so that the normalized stimulus value signal of the white sub-pixel can be adjusted according to the gain value of the pixel point, so that a gray level value of the white sub-pixel can be subsequently calculated according to the normalized stimulus value signal of the white sub-pixel, the gain of the white sub-pixel point is consistent with the gain of the pixel point, the light penetration rate and the picture brightness are improved, and the difference of the projection brightness of the white sub-pixel in each direction can be reduced, so that the condition of large visual angle color cast is improved.
It is understood that the more the white sub-pixel occupies, the greater the influence on the decrease in color vividness. Conversely, the smaller the proportion of the white sub-pixel, the less the influence on the decrease in the color vividness, but the lower the overall image quality luminance. Therefore, it is necessary to control the ratio of the white sub-pixels to adjust the ratio of the white sub-pixels so that the image with higher color vividness in the three-primary color gamut can have the same better vividness in the four-primary color gamut when the color vividness varies with the input signal. In this embodiment, each pixel is gained by a dynamic gain value to control the proportion of the white sub-pixels, thereby improving the picture quality.
In one embodiment, referring to fig. 6, the determining the gain value corresponding to each pixel point according to a preset rule and the first stimulus value signal, the second stimulus value signal, and the third stimulus value signal corresponding to each pixel point respectively includes:
determining a maximum value and a minimum value in the first stimulation value signal, the second stimulation value signal and the third stimulation value signal corresponding to the pixel point;
judging whether the maximum value is less than 2 times of the minimum value;
if yes, the gain value of the pixel point is 2;
otherwise, calculating the color mixing saturation corresponding to the pixel point in the three primary color gamut according to the first stimulus value signal, the second stimulus value signal and the third stimulus value signal;
calculating the color mixing saturation corresponding to the pixel point in the four primary color gamut according to the color mixing saturation corresponding to the pixel point in the three primary color gamut and a preset mapping relation; and
and determining the gain value of the pixel point according to the color mixing saturation corresponding to the pixel point in the four primary color gamut.

Stimulus value signal R in the red sub-pixel tristimulus value signalXThe stimulus value signal with the maximum color mixing color in the red sub-pixel tri-stimulus value signals is the stimulus value signal RX。

Stimulus value signal B in the blue sub-pixel tristimulus value signalZThe stimulus value signal with the maximum color mixture color in the blue sub-pixel tri-stimulus value signals is the stimulus value signal BZ。
When the stimulus value signal RX、GYAnd BZSatisfies Max (R)X，GY，BZ)-2×Min(RX，GY，BZ) When the color is less than 0, the color mixing is closer to unsaturated neutral color, and the white sub-pixel is based on the stimulus value R input by the red sub-pixel and the green sub-pixelX，GYAnd BZThe Gain value is dynamically adjusted to 2, wherein the limit of the Gain value cannot exceed 2 because the sum of the transmittances of the red, green and blue three-color sub-pixels in the preferred four sub-pixels is equal to the transmittance of the white sub-pixel. The reason why the limit of Gain value cannot exceed 2 is that the stimulus values of the three-color sub-pixels of red, green and blue plus the stimulus value of the white sub-pixel are only 2 times as large as the stimulus values of the three-color sub-pixels of red, green and blue at the maximum.
When the stimulus value signal RX、GYAnd BZSatisfies Max (R)X，GY，BZ)-2×Min(RX，GY，BZ) When the color is more than 0, the mixed color is closer to the saturated color, the output proportion of the white sub-pixel is dynamically adjusted, the influence of the white sub-pixel on the saturated color is reduced, and the white sub-pixel is based on the stimulus value R input by the red, green and blue sub-pixelsX、GYAnd BZThe Gain value Gain is dynamically adjusted so that Gain is 1/S '(S) and S' (S) indicates the color purity S (Max (R)X，GY，BZ)-Min(RX，GY，BZ))/Max(RX，GY，BZ) The function of (1) is that the Gain value is dynamically adjusted between 1 and 2, the Gain value is reduced along with the improvement of the coloring purity value, the minimum Gain value is 1, the reduction of the coloring purity value represents that the color mixing is closer to unsaturated neutral color, and the white sub-pixel is based on the stimulus value R input by the red, green and blue sub-pixelsX、GYAnd BZAnd dynamically adjusting the Gain value to increase the Gain, wherein the maximum Gain value Gain takes 2.
S 'is dynamically adjusted according to S, and the following figure 7 illustrates the relationship between S' and S, namely the stimulus value signal R input by the red, green and blue sub-pixelsX、GYAnd BZCalculating color purity S ═ (Max (R)X，GY，BZ)-Min(RX，GY，BZ))/Max(RX，GY，BZ) Wherein the color purity S satisfies 0 ≦ S ≦ 1, and if it is desired that the white, red, green, and blue subpixels output stimulus value signals R relative to the red, green, and blue subpixels inputX、GYAnd BZIf the color purity is higher, the Gain value is dynamically adjusted to improve the Gain output of the color purity S.
In one embodiment, the calculating the color mixture saturation corresponding to the pixel point in the four-primary-color gamut according to the color mixture saturation corresponding to the pixel point in the three-primary-color gamut and a preset mapping relationship includes:
