Description

Flashing type back lighting device and its method of operating
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of back lighting device, and be particularly related to and a kind ofly can determine whether activation according to device current state (static or dynamically), and flashing type back lighting device and its method of operating that can adjust brightness in good time.
Background technology
Liquid crystal (Liquid Crystal Display, be called for short LCD) be the material between crystal and liquid, is subjected to outside stimuluss such as electric field, and the assortment meeting of liquid crystal molecule is subjected to voltage and the characteristic that changes, and constitutes the demonstration assembly.
Liquid crystal material is to find the compound by Austrian zoophytologist F.Rinitzer fragrant acid and acetic acid from the breath of cholesterol in 1888 the earliest.It is used approximately since 1963, but until Japanese Sharp company successfully develops the counter LCD.The commercialization that has just confirmed lcd products is worth.Hereafter, Japanese manufacturer constantly is engaged in technical development, and the function of improved products makes LCD acquisition on various products gradually use widely.Be generalized to gradually by wrist-watch, electronic calculator on the numeral and figure indication of automobile, game machine and other testing tool, afterwards because the development of LCD colorize more is subjected to very big gazing at.Advantages such as LCD has gently, approaches, low voltage drive, volume are little, low consumpting power and applied range, be applied to recent years such as micro television, the demonstration of OA machine, mobile computer, projection color tv etc. gradually, and the trend that replaces iconoscope (CRT) is gradually arranged, be one of present product component of being gazed at most.
In known technology, the flashing type back lighting device is for when playing dynamic image, makes picture have more continuity and allows the user can clearlyer see the image of being play.So when the flashing type back lighting device activates, promptly activate a flashing type backlight simultaneously, to keep the brightness of picture.But the mean flow rate that the flashing type backlight is generated will be low than fixing mode backlight, and therefore when showing static image with the flashing type back lighting device, its display result will be fixing backlight darker than adopting, and picture has the sensation of flicker.
Summary of the invention
Therefore the object of the present invention is to provide a kind of flashing type back lighting device and its method of operating, that utilizes that the image verification unit detects that present picture plays is dynamic image or static image, to determine the whether activation backlight that glimmers.
The present invention provides a kind of flashing type back lighting device and its method of operating in addition, can control the work period of fluorescent lamp after computing, and can be equilibrated at dynamic image and the picture brightness when static image whereby.
The present invention proposes a kind of flashing type back lighting device, and this flashing type back lighting device can be when device detects dynamic image, activation flicker backlight, and when detecting static image flasher, this flicker backlight of forbidden energy.This flashing type back lighting device comprises flicker control module and storage element.
Above-mentioned storage unit stores has at least the (N-1) data frame.
Above-mentioned flicker control module comprises the image verification unit, according to the dynamic image inspection rule with N data frame being received with after (N-1) data frame that storage element is read is done computing, output check signal.Wherein, N is the positive integer more than or equal to 2.
Above-mentioned dynamic image inspection rule is in order to judge whether the flashing type back lighting device is to play dynamic image or static image.Wherein, when judgement is learnt the flashing type back lighting device when playing dynamic image, the check signal is with the activation backlight that glimmers; Otherwise when judgement is learnt the flashing type back lighting device when playing static image, the check signal is with the forbidden energy backlight that glimmers.
Above-mentioned flashing type back lighting device more comprises the light-source brightness balance module, and after the light-source brightness balance module comprises that cycle and brightness control unit are responsible for the scanning signal that will obtain and time pulse signal and are dealt with, output light source work period (duty cycle) signal and brightness (luminance) controlling signal.
Above-mentioned cycle and brightness control unit comprise work period controlling mechanism and brilliance control mechanism.Wherein, the work period when work period controlling mechanism control fluorescent lamp activates is when brilliance control mechanism determines then that the flashing type back lighting device is play static image and the brightness of the fluorescent lamp during dynamic image.
Above-mentioned backlight control module more comprises data latch, and it is responsible for exporting N data frame and N data frame is copied to storage element.
The present invention proposes a kind of method of operating of flashing type back lighting device, its operating process be the image verification unit of flashing type back lighting device according to two continuous data frame, judge whether the present demonstration of flashing type back lighting device is dynamic image.Judge when the image verification unit and to learn when being shown as dynamic image i.e. activation flicker backlight function; Otherwise, when the judgement of image verification unit learns that demonstration is not dynamic image, i.e. forbidden energy flicker backlight function.
Above-mentioned method of operating more comprises the adjustment light-source brightness, judges according to scanning signal and time pulse signal whether the flashing type back lighting device shows is dynamic image.Judge when brilliance control mechanism and to learn and when the flashing type back lighting device is shown as dynamic image, promptly export the brilliance control signal, to heighten light-source brightness; Otherwise, when the demonstration of flashing type back lighting device is not dynamic image, promptly export the brilliance control signal, to turn down light-source brightness.
The present invention is because of adopting the image verification unit, therefore can detect picture when playing to dynamic image, activation flicker backlight, and detecting picture when playing, forbidden energy flicker backlight to static image.
For above and other objects of the present invention, feature and advantage can be become apparent, preferred embodiment cited below particularly, and conjunction with figs. elaborate.
