Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for avoiding overheating a display driver module of a plasma display, which display driver module has multiple display driver elements, which is a variety control lines of the plasma display and each of which one of several image areas of the one to be shown on the display Image is uniquely assigned with a measuring unit for generation a measurement signal which provides information about the power consumption of the display contains, one connected on the output side to the measuring unit Control signal generation unit for generating a control signal and a circuit that shows the brightness of those shown on the display Image signals reduced when the control signal from the control signal generating unit, which is connected on the output side to this circuit, is present.
- the plasma display and the Display driver components of the plasma display temperature measuring devices assign the temperature of the plasma display and the display driver detect, with one of the temperature measuring devices connected downstream Control circuit when a predetermined value of the temperature signal is exceeded, generates a control signal via the display driver control circuit influences the potential or the number of pulses in the sustain period, such that the brightness decreases as the temperature rises.
- An arrangement which has become known with JP09198005 uses the Avoid partial inadmissible heating of a plasma display transparent heat-conducting layer on the front and a heat-conducting Layer on the back of the display, the thermally conductive Layer on the back has a temperature sensor, so that over a Temperature monitoring circuit when the temperature increases Brightness-reducing control signal of the control circuit of the plasma display is fed.
- the applicant's unpublished DE-A-197 20 876.2 a device for contrast adjustment in pulse-width-controlled image displays described.
- picture displays there is between the input size and the luminance of the signal displayed on the screen a digital context.
- the image is displayed using a time-division multiplexing method in which one frame period which is in one Plasma display is 20 ms, is broken down into several part-time intervals. During these part-time intervals, depending on what is desired Brightness value a predetermined number of digital voltage pulses Display control generated.
- the display driver module provided for controlling the display has several display driver elements working in parallel. Each of these display driver elements is a predetermined number of image lines on the Assigned to plasma display. For example, a display driver module a total of 6 display driver elements, each of which 80 of the 480 lines are assigned to a full screen.
- the object of the invention based on showing a way, as well as individual display driver elements of the display driver module can be protected against overheating.
- Driver element can be ensured that all display driver elements Relieving reduction in the brightness of the on the display shown signals is already carried out, if only one single driver element due to special brightness distributions in the Image is overly stressed.
- the device shown has an input E, via which the Device a video signal is supplied.
- This video and / or Image signal is from the video signal path of an image source, such as TV receiver or PC derived, which with a plasma display 1 is provided on which images corresponding to the video signal are shown become.
- an image source such as TV receiver or PC derived
- plasma display 1 is provided on which images corresponding to the video signal are shown become.
- Such plasma displays have a high power consumption Because of which measures are necessary, with the help of overheating of the display is avoided.
- control signal ST1 and / or ST2 generated using the brightness of the on the display shown image signals is reduced.
- the control signal generation unit evaluates to generate this control signal 2 signals from you from a temperature sensor 3 and from a total of six integrators 4a, ..., 4f are supplied.
- the Temperature sensor 3 is arranged in the area of the display 1 and for Measurement of the temperature prevailing in the area of the display 1 intended.
- the integrators 4a, ..., 4f are connected to the output of an Controllable amplifier 5 arranged in the video signal path via an A / D converter 6 and a digital signal processing circuit 7 connected.
- the input of the controllable amplifier 5 is the at the input E Device applied signal supplied.
- An output signal of the digital Signal processing circuit 7 is via a display driver module 8 fed to the plasma display.
- the display driver module 8 has a total of six display driver elements on. Each of these six display driver elements is 80 lines of to be displayed full screen, which has a total of 480 lines having.
- the display driver element 1 is lines 1-80, lines 81-160, the display driver element 2, the display driver element 3 lines 161-240, display driver element 4 lines 241-320, lines 321-400 and the display driver element 5 Display driver element 6 assigned to lines 401-480.
- the digital signal processing circuit 7 includes, among others Image storage circuit and an interpolation circuit, by means of which the input signal delivered according to the PAL standard, which 625 Lines per frame, is converted into a 480-line signal, such as it is intended for display on the plasma display 1.
- the control signal ST1 is fed to the control input of the amplifier 5.
- the control signal ST2 is applied to the display driver module 8.
- the temperature sensor 3 becomes Provided signal with predefined temperature threshold values compared, which are for example at 70 ° C, 80 ° C and 90 ° C by one temperature-dependent reduction in the brightness of the on-screen shown image.
- each of these Integrators 4a, ..., 4f are assigned 80 lines of the video signal, so that Integrator 4a the video content transmitted in lines 1-80, the integrator 4b the video content transmitted in lines 81-160, the integrator 4c in lines 161-240 transmitted video content, the integrator 4d the in the Lines 241-320 transmitted video content, the integrator 4e that in the lines 321-400 transmitted video content and the integrator 4f the in the lines 401-480 transmitted video content is fed.
- the video signal is evaluated in the With regard to the light and dark components contained therein.
- the in the frame of these integration processes signal values are the Control signal generation unit 2 supplied and in this each with a predetermined threshold value compared. Such an evaluation results over a predetermined time interval that the one belonging to an integrator Output signal this predetermined threshold in more than 90% of the Exceeds cases, then this leads to an excessive burden on the each associated display driver element in the display driver module 8 conclude.
- control signal generating unit 2 To overheat and destroy this display driver element prevent, the control signal generating unit 2 generates in this case a control signal ST1 and / or ST2, on the basis of which the gain of Amplifier 5 is reduced or the display driver module 8 is activated, to the brightness of the video signal shown on the display 1 to reduce. This means a reduction in the load on all six in the Display driver module 8 provided display driver elements.
- This Control signal generation for reducing the brightness takes place when present an excessive load on one of the display driver elements then when the signals derived from the temperature sensor 3 are not yet on cause the entire display to overheat.
- An excessive load on one of the display driver elements could result occur, for example, when on the plasma display 1 for one an image signal is displayed for a longer period of time, which in the upper 80th Lines of the picture contains very bright parts of the picture, while the total of 400 lines below have dark image content.
- the Video signal processing circuit 7 provided digital signal into a signal suitable for driving the plasma display 1 converted.
- the digital image signal is timed in divided several part-time intervals, during which depending on the each present brightness value corresponds to the brightness value Number of voltage pulses for display control is generated.
- Such a procedure is, for example, the one already mentioned above DE-A- (Köchel) of the applicant and the status of the Technology described.
- the above reduction in the brightness of the display The image signals shown happen in the display driver module 8 in that that the number of one in one or more part-time intervals Frame period of the video signal generated digital voltage pulses is reduced.
