Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and apparatus for processing video pictures, in particular for large area flicker effect reduction. More specifically the invention is closely related to a kind of video processing for improving the picture quality of pictures which are displayed on matrix displays like plasma display panels (PDP), display devices with digital micro mirror arrays (DMD)and all kind of displays based on the principle of duty cycle modulation (pulse width modulation) of light emission.
  • PDP plasma display panels
  • DMD digital micro mirror arrays
  • plasma display panels are known for many years, plasma displays are encountering a growing interest from TV manufacturers. Indeed, this technology now makes it possible to achieve flat colour panels of large size and with limited depths without any viewing angle constraints.
  • the size of the displays may be much larger than the classical CRT picture tubes would have ever been allowed.
  • a plasma display panel utilises a matrix array of discharge cells which could only be switched ON or OFF. Also unlike a CRT or LCD in which grey levels are expressed by analogue control of the light emission, in a PDP the grey level is controlled by modulating the number of light pulses per frame. This time-modulation will be integrated by the eye over a period corresponding to the eye time response. For static pictures, this time-modulation, repeats itself, with a base frequency equal to the frame frequency of the displayed video norm. As known from the CRT-technology, a light emission with base frequency of 50 Hz, introduces large area flicker, which can be eliminated by field repetition in 100Hz CRT TV receivers.
  • the duty cycle of light emission in PDPs is ⁇ 50% for middle grey. This reduces the amplitude of the 50Hz frequency component in the spectrum, and thus large area flicker artefact, but due to the larger size of PDPs, with a larger viewing angle, even a reduced large area flicker becomes objectionable in terms of picture quality.
  • the present trend of increasing size and brightness of PDPs will also contribute to aggravate this problem in the future.
  • the reduction of the large area effect is made by utilising an optimised sub-field organisation for the frame period.
  • the sub-fields of a pixel are organised in two consecutive groups, and to a value of a pixel a code word is assigned which distributes the active sub-field periods equally over the two sub-field groups.
  • a vertical blanking period has also to be used where no sub-field is addressed (see claim 4).
  • this vertical blanking period is replaced by two vertical blanking periods, inserted between every pair of consecutive sub-field groups. This is similar to what happens in 100Hz CRT based TV receivers.
  • the concrete sub-field organisation claimed in claim 5 is advantageous for 50Hz video norms. Compared to an optimised sub-field organisation for the 60 Hz video norms, like NTSC, there are more sub-fields used which is easily possible, because the frame period is longer.
  • the frame period will be divided in 8 lighting periods which are also very often referred to sub-fields, each one corresponding to one of the 8 bits.
  • the grey level 92 will thus have the corresponding digital code word %1011100.
  • the sub-fields may consist of a number of small pulses with equal amplitude and equal duration. Without motion, the eye of the observer will integrate over about a frame period all the sub-periods and will have the impression of the right grey level.
  • the above-mentioned sub-field organisation is shown in Fig. 1.
  • Fig. 2 An example of a commonly used sub-field organisation for 60Hz video standards is shown in Fig. 2.
  • the sub-field number has been increased to 12 sub-fields SF.
  • the relative duration of the sub-fields are given in Fig. 2.
  • the lighting phase has a relative duration of 255 relative time units.
  • the value of 255 has been selected in order to be able to continue using the above mentioned 8 bit representation of the luminance level or RGB data which is being used for PDPs.
  • the seven most significant sub-fields have a relative duration of 32 relative time units.
  • the relative duration of a sub-field is often referred to the 'weight' of a sub-field, the expression will also be used hereinafter.
  • each sub-field SF there is a small time period in which no light is emitted. This time period is used for the addressing of the corresponding plasma cells. After the last sub-field a longer time period where no light is emitted is added. This time period corresponds to the vertical blanking period of the video standard. The implementation of such a vertical blanking period is necessary in order to be able to handle non-standard video signals generated in VCR's or video games, etc.
  • a digital representation of the grey level 92 in this subfield organisation is e.g. 000001111100.
  • This figure is a 12 bit binary number corresponding to the 12 sub-fields. It will be used to control the lighting pulses for the corresponding pixel during a frame period. It should be noted, that there exist a few other possible 12 bit code words for the same grey level, due to the fact that there are seven sub-fields width identical weight.
  • Fig. 3 a new sub-field organisation according to the invention is shown for 50Hz video standards.
  • the frame period for 60Hz video standards is 16.6ms and for 50Hz 20ms and thus larger for 50Hz video standards. This allows for the addressing of more sub-fields in 50Hz video standards.
  • the number of sub-fields has been increased to 14. This does not cause extra costs since the added time to the frame period is greater than the added number of sub-fields: (20.0/16.6) > (14/12).
  • the sub-fields are structured in two separate sub-field groups G1, G2.
  • One vertical frame blanking period has been replaced by two vertical frame blanking periods VFB1, VFB2, one at the end of the frame period and the other between the two sub-field groups.
  • the 2 sub-field groups are identical in terms of the six most significant sub-fields and different in terms of the least significant sub-field.
  • the weight of the least significant sub-field is small and does not introduce significant large area flicker, and this is the reason why it is not necessary that they are also identical.
  • a sub-field coding process that distributes luminance weight of a given pixel value symmetrically over the 2 sub-field groups is also applied.
  • a small difference in luminance weight between the 2 sub-field groups means a small 50 Hz luminance frequency component, and thus small levels of large area flicker.
  • For the sub-field coding process there is no need of a complicated calculation.
  • a corresponding table where the code words for the 256 different grey levels/pixel values are stored can be used.
  • the coding process can best be explained with an example.
  • the second and third component, which must be multiples of 4 (because of the fact that the six most significant sub-fields in both groups have weights which are multiples of four) are made as equal as possible. If they cannot be made equal, as this is the case with 87 , the second component, to be coded with the sub-fields of group 1, should be made greater by 4.
  • 44 is to be coded with the sub-fields of group G1
  • 40 is to be coded with the sub-fields of group 2.
  • the difference in weight between the two sub-field groups is never greater than 5.
  • FIG. 4 An apparatus according to the invention is shown in Fig. 4.
  • the apparatus may be integrated together with the PDP matrix display. It could also be in a separate box which is to be connected with the plasma display panel.
  • Reference no. 10 denotes the whole apparatus.
  • the video signal is fed to the apparatus via the input line V in .
  • Reference no. 11 video processing unit wherein the video signal is digitalized and Y,U, V data is produced.
  • interlace video standards require a previous conversion, here.
  • an YUV/RGB data conversion will be made in this unit as the PDPs work with RGB data.
  • the generated RGB data is forwarded to the sub-field coding unit 12. Therein, to each RGB pixel value the corresponding code word will be selected from a table 13.
  • These code words are forwarded to the frame memory in addressing unit 14 of the PDP 10. With these data the addressing unit 14 controls the plasma display 15.
