Embodiment
The present invention judges that earlier it is static state or dynamic menu that LCD is desired picture displayed, select comparatively appropriate drive mode to drive backlight according to judged result again or whether in desiring picture displayed, insert black picture, to improve the display quality of LCD according to the judged result decision.Below will the present invention be described, but it is not that those skilled in the art can do modification to following embodiment slightly according to spirit of the present invention in order to qualification the present invention, but it still belongs to scope of the present invention for embodiment.
Fig. 1 shows the flow chart of steps of driving method of the LCD of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 2 A shows LCD shown picture data that goes out in M-1 frame time, and Fig. 2 B shows LCD shown picture data that goes out in M frame time.In addition, Fig. 3 shows the luminosity and the time relation figure of Backlight For Liquid Crystal Display Panels.Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 A, Fig. 2 B and Fig. 3, the driving method of the LCD of present embodiment comprises the following steps:
At first, shown in step S110, record LCD shown picture data in each frame time is for example noted picture data 50 shown in M-1 the frame time.
Then, shown in step S120, compare shown picture data in picture data shown in each frame time and former frame time.For instance, before the picture data 60 in M frame time of liquid crystal display displays, earlier its picture data 50 with M-1 frame time is compared, to 60 whether similar pattern is arranged with detection picture data 50.
Afterwards, shown in step S130, in this frame time, adjust the shown high-high brightness of the pixel of LCD and the gray value differences of minimum brightness according to comparative result.For example, when similar pattern (as pattern E) is arranged in the picture data 50 and 60, then calculate the amount of movement of this pattern E, and make according to amount of movement that the luminous amplitude of Backlight For Liquid Crystal Display Panels changes in this frame time.Wherein, the computing method of amount of movement for example are the distances how many pixels the pattern E that calculates the pattern E of picture data 50 and picture data 60 differs.When the amount of movement of pattern E greater than zero the time, represent that promptly picture data 60 is dynamic menu, and when showing this dynamic menu, adjust the luminous amplitude (shown in line L1) of the backlight of LCD in M frame time according to this amount of movement.Thus, LCD can reach the effect of the luminous demonstration of pulsed of similar cathode-ray tube display when showing dynamic menu, avoid fuzzy pictures, and then promotes the display quality of dynamic menu.
In addition, the amount of movement of pattern E in picture data 50 and 60 is zero, or picture data 50 is not when 60 have similar pattern, then picture data 60 is classified as tableaux, and in showing M frame time of this tableaux, the luminosity of Backlight For Liquid Crystal Display Panels can not change (shown in line L2).Therefore, the problem of film flicker can not take place in LCD when showing tableaux, and it can make beholder's eyes when watching tableaux comparatively comfortable.
Wherein it should be noted that judge LCD be show dynamic pattern also or the method for static pattern also can utilize M frame time of comparison and M-1 frame time gray value differences at the picture data of the same area.When the gray value differences of two frame times was big, then picture data was a dynamic menu; When the gray value differences of two frame times hour, then picture data is a tableaux.
The method that promotes the display quality of LCD in the present embodiment comprises the luminous amplitude of adjusting Backlight For Liquid Crystal Display Panels, or inserts black picture in the shown picture data of LCD.Below will describe at these two kinds of methods respectively.
Fig. 4 shows the luminosity and the time relation figure of Backlight For Liquid Crystal Display Panels.Please refer to Fig. 4, in one embodiment, the method that promotes the display quality of LCD in M frame time for example is to adjust the luminous amplitude of backlight.Wherein because the luminous amplitude of backlight is bigger, then the performance of dynamic menu better, so the luminous amplitude of backlight for example is to become positive correlation with the amount of movement of pattern E in the present embodiment.Particularly, the method for the luminous amplitude of adjustment backlight for example is to judge that whether the amount of movement of pattern E is greater than a reference value earlier.This reference value is decided by demand, for example it can be made as the distance of several pixels.When the amount of movement of pattern E during greater than reference value, then making the luminous amplitude that comes from this frame time backlight is A1 (shown in line L3), and when amount of movement during less than reference value, then making the luminous amplitude that comes from this frame time backlight is A2 (shown in line L4), wherein A1>A2.In addition, when amount of movement equaled reference value, the luminous amplitude that comes from this frame time backlight can be between A1 and A2.
Owing to the luminous amplitude of backlight can change along with the amount of movement of pattern E, when the amount of movement of pattern E during greater than reference value, the luminous amplitude of backlight is higher, so it is fuzzy to avoid dynamic menu to produce, and then promotes picture quality.In addition, because of the amount of movement of pattern E is bigger, beholder's notice when viewing and admiring concentrates on moving of pattern E, thereby does not allow to feel film flicker.On the other hand, when the amount of movement of pattern E during less than reference value, the luminous amplitude of backlight is lower, and is little because of the amount of movement of pattern E though this moment, animate descended, and is not easy to produce fuzzy, and the beholder is not easy to feel film flicker when viewing and admiring.
In the driving method of above-mentioned LCD, backlight for example comprises a plurality of sub-light sources, and when sub-light source was cathode fluorescent tube, the method for then adjusting the luminous amplitude of backlight was to adjust the size of current that feeds these cathode fluorescent tubes.
Above-mentioned backlight also comprises an inverter circuit.This inverter circuit can apply a voltage waveform in the luminous amplitude of cathode fluorescent tube with the adjustment backlight.Fig. 5 A to Fig. 5 E shows the comparison diagram of the voltage waveform of the luminous amplitude of Backlight For Liquid Crystal Display Panels and Nverter circuit.Below with the meaning of key diagram 5A to Fig. 5 E.
Please wherein show the voltage waveform of two curves 100 and 200, one curve 100 expression inverter circuits in each figure respectively earlier with reference to (a) figure of Fig. 5 A and Fig. 5 B to Fig. 5 F, another curve 200 is the luminous amplitude of backlight.Also distinctly show two curves 100 and 300 in (b) figure of Fig. 5 B to Fig. 5 F, the voltage waveform of curve 100 expression inverter circuits wherein, another curve 300 is the viewed luminous amplitude of human eye.Describe with Fig. 5 F, the luminous amplitude of backlight is different with the viewed luminous amplitude of human eye, and this is because human eye has the effect of low-pass filtering (low pass filter).And the luminous amplitude of the backlight among Fig. 5 F (a) is through promptly forming the viewed luminous amplitude of human eye among Fig. 5 F (b) after the low-pass filtering.If utilize this characteristic and cooperate the waveform of adjusting inverter circuit, just can change the luminous amplitude of backlight, and then allow the user observe different light intensities.
Referring again to Fig. 5 A to Fig. 5 F, voltage waveform is divided into a plurality of positive half cycles and a plurality of negative half period.The magnitude of voltage of positive half cycle is greater than zero, and the magnitude of voltage of negative half period is less than zero.What deserves to be mentioned is that the method for adjustment of the luminous amplitude of backlight can adopt the voltage waveform of adjusting inverter circuit and realize.For example, please refer to Fig. 5 A, the method of adjusting the voltage waveform of inverter circuit for example is that the maximum voltage amplitude and the minimum voltage amplitude of sustaining voltage waveform is constant, and in the positive half cycle of voltage waveform, produce a plurality of negative-going pulses, produce a plurality of direct impulses in the negative half period of voltage waveform.Herein, direct impulse refers to the pulse that a voltage rises, and negative voltage pulse refers to the pulse that a voltage descends.Certainly, also can be shown in Fig. 5 B to Fig. 5 F, the method of adjusting the luminous amplitude of backlight is that the maximum voltage amplitude and the minimum voltage amplitude of sustaining voltage waveform is constant, and in the positive half cycle of voltage waveform, produce a plurality of negative voltage pulses, produce a plurality of positive voltage pulses in the negative half period of voltage waveform.Be noted that the magnitude of voltage of said positive voltage pulse is greater than zero herein, and the magnitude of voltage of negative voltage pulse is less than zero.
Inspect the F to Fig. 5 one by one from Fig. 5 A, can observe out, behind the voltage waveform that changes inverter circuit, the luminous amplitude that the luminous amplitude of light source and eye-observation arrive changes really to some extent.
In the prior art, in order to adjust the luminous amplitude of backlight, can in backlight, set plural inverter circuit usually.By driving a plurality of inverter circuits, can make the luminous amplitude of backlight change to some extent to apply the maximum voltage amplitude voltage different in cathode fluorescent tube with the minimum voltage amplitude.In the present embodiment, be that to keep maximum voltage amplitude and the minimum voltage amplitude of voltage waveform constant owing to adjust the method for the luminous amplitude of backlight, therefore in backlight, need only set one group of inverter circuit, so the cost of making backlight is lower.
In addition, in the driving method of above-mentioned LCD, when sub-light source was light emitting diode matrix, the method for then adjusting the luminous amplitude of backlight module was the size of current of adjusting these light emitting diodes of feeding or the number of adjusting the lumination of light emitting diode of these light emitting diode matrixs.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, when backlight was the scanning type backlight, a plurality of sub-light sources that backlight corresponds respectively to different blocks of LCD are switch periodically.At this moment, adjust backlight luminous amplitude method except as the luminous amplitude of above-mentioned all sub-light sources of adjustment, also can only adjust the luminous amplitude of sub-light source of the block at pattern E place.In other words, the method for the luminous amplitude of adjustment backlight for example is to judge that whether the amount of movement of pattern E is greater than above-mentioned reference value.When amount of movement during greater than reference value, then making the luminous amplitude of sub-light source in M frame time of the block at backlight corresponding pattern E place is A1, when amount of movement during less than reference value, then making the luminous amplitude of sub-light source in M frame time of the block at backlight corresponding pattern E place is A2, wherein A1>A2.In addition, when amount of movement equaled reference value, the luminous amplitude that comes from this frame time backlight can be between A1 and A2.
Similarly, if sub-light source is that cathode fluorescent tube and backlight comprise an inverter circuit, then also can utilize the voltage waveform of adjusting inverter circuit to reach the purpose of the luminous amplitude that changes scanning type backlight.Because the method for the luminous amplitude of adjustment scanning type backlight and advantage are to aforementioned similar, those skilled in the art can extend according to this, so do not give unnecessary details at this.
In the present embodiment, the method that promotes the display quality of LCD in M frame time also can be to insert in the picture data shown in M frame time to deceive picture, promptly be the picture data of input one low gray scale during a certain in M frame time, to obtain the effect of the luminous demonstration of similar pulsed.Wherein, the gray-scale value of the black picture that is inserted for example is to become negative correlation with the amount of movement of pattern E.For example, inserting the method for deceiving picture for example is to judge that whether amount of movement is greater than above-mentioned reference value earlier.When amount of movement during greater than reference value, then insert one first black picture, and, then insert one second black picture when amount of movement during less than reference value, wherein the gray-scale value of the second black picture is higher than first gray-scale value of deceiving picture.In addition, when amount of movement equaled reference value, the gray-scale value of the black picture that inserts can be between the gray-scale value of the first black picture and the second black picture.
Owing to the gray-scale value of the black picture that is inserted can change along with the amount of movement of pattern E,,,, and then carry picture quality so it is fuzzy to avoid dynamic menu to produce because of the gray-scale value of black picture is lower when the amount of movement of pattern E during greater than reference value.In addition, because of the amount of movement of pattern E is bigger, beholder's notice when viewing and admiring concentrates on moving of pattern E, thereby does not allow to feel film flicker.On the other hand, when the amount of movement of pattern E during less than reference value, the gray-scale value of black picture is higher, and is little because of the amount of movement of pattern E though this moment, animate descended, and is not easy to produce fuzzy, and the beholder is not easy to feel film flicker when viewing and admiring.In addition, carry out, therefore can in the whole image data, insert black picture, or only in the partial picture data of display pattern E, insert and deceive picture because the black plug picture is the distribution that scans by LCD.
What deserves to be mentioned is that the picture brightness that goes out for the plug-in effect LCD that remedies black picture is shown in the present embodiment for example can improve the gray-scale value of picture data shown in M the frame time earlier before inserting black picture.In addition, in the present embodiment also can be by improving the mode that comes from M the luminous intensity in the frame time backlight, remedy the shown picture brightness that goes out of the plug-in effect LCD of deceiving picture.
With regard to spirit of the present invention, no matter be that the method adjusting the luminous amplitude of backlight or insert black picture all is that to make LCD can be the advantage that the character of the shown picture of LCD selects class pulsed drive or freeze mode to drive.Promptly when the shown picture data of LCD is dynamic menu, then select to use the mode of class pulsed to drive; And when the shown picture data of LCD is tableaux, then select to use the mode of freeze mode to drive.Wherein, along with the difference of the mobile degree of picture, the high-high brightness that same pixel is presented in each frame time also can be different thereupon with the gray value differences of minimum brightness.Be the mobile degree of picture when big more, the shown high-high brightness of same pixel is just big more with the gray value differences of minimum brightness in each frame time; And when picture when being static, the shown high-high brightness of same pixel equates with minimum brightness in each frame time.
In addition on the one hand, select class pulsed or freeze mode to drive the determination methods of LCD, except being dynamic menu or the tableaux, also can select with freeze mode or class pulsed drive LCD according to the dullness or the complexity of picture data according to picture data.So-called picture data dull or complicated promptly is meant the relation of the gray-scale value that each pixel in the same picture data is shown.The gray-scale value shown when the pixel of a picture data is close, then represents this picture data dullness, then selects to drive LCD with freeze mode; The gray-value variation shown when the pixel of a picture data is very big, then represents this picture data complexity, then selects to drive LCD with the class pulsed.
Though the present invention discloses as above with preferred embodiment; right its is not in order to limit the present invention; those skilled in the art can do some changes and retouching under the premise without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, so protection scope of the present invention is as the criterion with claim of the present invention.
