Definitions
- This invention pertains to systems and methods for displaying images on displays of the type that have two modulators.
- a first modulator produces a light pattern and a second modulator modulates the light pattern produced by the first modulator to yield an image.
- the modulated light source layer is driven to produce a comparatively low-resolution representation of an image.
- the low-resolution representation is modulated by the display layer to provide a higher resolution image which can be viewed by an observer.
- the light source layer may comprise a matrix of actively modulated light sources, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs).
- the display layer which is positioned and aligned in front of the light source layer, may be a liquid crystal display (LCD).
- the two layers have different spatial resolutions (e.g. the light source layer's resolution may be about 0.1 % that of the display layer) then both software correction methods and psychological effects (such as veiling luminance) prevent the viewer from noticing the resolution mismatch.
- the two layers have different spatial resolutions (e.g. the light source layer's resolution may be about 0.1 % that of the display layer) then both software correction methods and psychological effects (such as veiling luminance) prevent the viewer from noticing the resolution mismatch.
- US 2003/0090455 A1 discloses a method for increasing a dynamic range of a backlit display and a corresponding backlit display. A luminance of a light source illuminating a displayed pixel is varied in response to an intensity value of this pixel.
- LCD computer displays and televisions are commercially available. Such displays and televisions include circuitry for controlling the amount of light transmitted by individual pixels in an LCD panel.
- the task of deriving driving from image data signals to control a light source layer and display layer can be computationally expensive. Deriving such signals can be executed by a processor of a computer's video/graphics card, or by some other appropriate processor integral to a computer, to the display itself or to a secondary device.
- the task of deriving from image data signals to control a light source layer and display layer can be computationally expensive. Deriving such signals can be executed by a processor of a computer's video/graphics card, or by some other appropriate processor integral to a computer, to the display itself or to a secondary device. Performance limitations of the processor can undesirably limit the rate at which successive image frames can be displayed. For example, if the processor is not powerful enough to process incoming video data at the frame rate of the video data then an observer may detect small pauses between successive frames of a video image such as a movie. This can distract the observer and negatively affecting the observer's image viewing experience.
- the invention may be applied in a wide range of applications wherein an image is displayed by producing a light pattern that is determined at least in part by image data, and modulating the light pattern to yield an image.
- the light pattern may be produced by any suitable apparatus. Some examples include:
- rendering image frames or a frame set for display on an LED/LCD layer display entails the following computational steps:
- the point spread function of each LED in an LED layer is determined by the geometry of the LED.
- a simple technique for determining an LED layer's total effective luminance pattern is to initially multiply each LED's point spread function (specifically, the point spread function of the light which is emitted by the LED and passes through all optical structures between the LED and LCD layers) by a selected LED driving value and by an appropriate scaling parameter to obtain the LED's effective luminance contribution, for that driving value, to each pixel on the LCD layer.
- the luminance contributions of every LED in the LED layer can be determined and summed to obtain the total effective luminance pattern, on the LCD layer, that will be produced when the selected driving values are applied to the LED layer.
- these multiplication and addition operations are very computationally expensive (i.e. time consuming), because the effective luminance pattern must be determined to the same spatial resolution as the LCD layer in order to facilitate the division operation of step 4 above.
- the computational expense is especially great if the LED point spread function has a very wide "support.”
- the "support" of an LED point spread function is the number of LCD pixels that are illuminated in a non-negligible amount by an LED.
- the support can be specified in terms of a radius, measured in LCD layer pixels, at which the LED point spread function becomes so small that is perceptually irrelevant to an observer.
- the support corresponds to a number of LCD pixels that are illuminated in a significant amount by each LED.
- each LED has a point spread function having a support of 150 LCD pixels then each pixel in the center portion of the LCD layer will be illuminated by light from approximately 35 of the LEDs. Calculation of the effective luminance pattern for this example accordingly requires 35 operations for each pixel of the LCD layer, in order to account for the light contributed to each pixel by each relevant LED. Where the LCD layer has a high spatial resolution, this is very computationally expensive (i.e. time consuming).
- the time required to determine the effective luminance pattern produced on the LCD can be reduced by computing the effective luminance pattern at a reduced spatial resolution that is lower than that of the high resolution image which is to appear on the LCD layer. This is feasible because the point spread functions of individual light sources are generally smoothly varying. Therefore, the effective luminance pattern will be relatively slowly varying at the resolution of the LCD. It is accordingly possible to compute the effective luminance pattern at a lower resolution and then to scale the effective luminance pattern up to a desired higher resolution, without introducing significant artifacts.
- the scaling may be done using suitable linear, Gaussian or other interpolation techniques. Such spatial resolution reduction yields an approximately linear decrease in the computational cost of establishing the effective luminance pattern.
- Many available interpolation methods that can be used to scale up an effective luminance pattern computed at a lower resolution are computationally inexpensive as compared to the computational cost of computing the effective luminance pattern at the resolution of the LCD or other second light modulator.
- a 10-times resolution reduction in both the width and height directions yields an approximate 100-times reduction in computational cost. This is because the total number of pixels in the reduced resolution image is 100-times fewer than the total number of pixels in the high resolution image which is to appear on the LCD layer. Each pixel in the reduced resolution image still receives light from 35 LEDs, necessitating 35 computational operations per pixel-but those operations are applied to 100-times fewer pixels in comparison to a case in which the computations are performed separately for every pixel in the actual high resolution image which is to appear on the LCD layer.
- the computational cost of image rendering can also be reduced by decomposing the point spread function of each light source (e.g. each LED) into several components (e.g. by performing a Gaussian decomposition) in such a way that the recombination of all of the components yields the original point spread function.
- An effective luminance pattern can then be determined separately for each component. Once an effective luminance pattern has been determined for each component, those effective luminance patterns can be combined to produce a total effective luminance pattern. The combination may be made by summing, for example.
- Computing the effective luminance patterns contributed by the components may be performed at the resolution of the LCD layer or at a reduced resolution, as described above.
- a speed benefit is attained even if the effective luminance pattern for each component is computed at the resolution of the LCD layer since hardware components specially adapted to perform rapid computations based upon standard point spread functions (e.g. Gaussian point spread functions) are commercially available. Such hardware components are not normally commercially available for the typically non-standard point spread function of the actual LEDs in the display's LED layer-necessitating resort to considerably slower computational techniques using general purpose processors.
- standard point spread functions e.g. Gaussian point spread functions
- Figure 1 depicts (solid line) an example LED point spread function having a steep central portion 10 and a wide tail portion 12.
- the actual point spread function can be decomposed into a narrow base Gaussian component 14A and a wide base Gaussian component 14B, as depicted.
- the wide base Gaussian component 14B (dotted line) contributes relatively little image intensity, in comparison to narrow base Gaussian segment 14A (dashed line). Further, wide base Gaussian component 14B is more slowly varying than narrow base Gaussian component 14A . Accordingly, an effective luminance pattern for narrow base Gaussian component 14A may be determined at a moderately high spatial resolution while an effective luminance pattern for the wide base Gaussian component 14B can be computed at a significantly lower spatial resolution. This preserves a substantial portion of the image intensity information contained in narrow base Gaussian component 14A and is still relatively fast since the effective support of the narrow base Gaussian segment is small and thus few LCD pixels are covered by that component. By contrast, since wide base Gaussian component 14B contains relatively little image intensity information, that component can be processed relatively quickly at low resolution without substantially degrading the resolution of the total effective luminance pattern produced by combining the patterns derived for each component.
- Image data is typically provided in 16-bit word form.
- High-end (i.e. more expensive) graphic processors typically perform computations in the 16-bit domain.
- Such processors may have dedicated 16-bit or floating point arithmetic units that can perform 16-bit operations quickly.
- the need for a high-end processor capable of performing 16-bit operations quickly can be alleviated by computing the effective luminance pattern in the 8-bit domain. Such computations can be performed reasonably quickly by less expensive processors.
- Each LED's point spread function is a two dimensional function of intensity versus distance relative to the center of the LED.
- Such a point spread function may be characterized by a plurality of 16-bit data words. Where the point spread function is represented by a look up table, many 16-bit values are required to define the point spread function; for example, one value may be provided for every LCD pixel lying on or within a circle centered on the LED and having a radius corresponding to the support of the point spread function.
- the 8-bit values are preferably extracted only after all necessary scaling and manipulation operations have been applied to the input 16-bit data.
- Figure 2A depicts a 16-bit point spread function;
- Figures 2B and 2C respectively depict the 8-bit high and low byte components of the Figure 2A 16-bit point spread function.
- a 16-bit data word is capable of representing integer values from 2 0 -1 to 2 16 -1 (i.e. from 0 to 65535).
- An 8-bit byte is capable of representing integer values from 2 0 -1 to 2 8 -1 (i.e. from 0 to 255).
- the "support" (as previously defined) of a point spread function characterized by an 8-bit high byte component is much smaller (narrower) than the support of the point spread function as a whole. This is because the 8-bit high byte component reaches the lowest value (zero) of its 255 possible values, when the 16-bit data word characterizing the point spread function as a whole reaches the value 255 out of its range of 65535 possible values.
- the remaining 255 values are provided by the low byte component with the high byte component's value equal to zero.
- the effective luminance pattern corresponding to the narrow base 8-bit high byte component can accordingly be rapidly determined, without substantial loss of image intensity information.
- the resolution reduction and/or other techniques described above may be used to further speed up the determination of the effective luminance pattern for the 8-bit high byte component.
- the support of a point spread function characterized by an 8-bit low byte component is comparatively wide. Specifically, although the 8-bit low byte component has only 255 possible values, those values decrease from 255 to 0 (out of 65535 values for the point spread function as a whole) and those 255 values correspond to the 255 lowest intensity levels (i.e. levels at which the value of the high byte component is equal to zero). Those 255 levels represent the valued of the point spread function in its peripheral parts.
- the low byte component can be separated into two regions.
- a central region lying within the boundary on which the point spread function characterized by the high byte component reaches zero.
- the low-byte component typically varies in an irregular saw-tooth pattern (as depicted in Figure 3 ) if the original 16-bit point spread function is reasonably smooth. This is because, in the central region, the portion of the point spread function characterized by the low byte component augments the portion of the point spread function characterized by the high byte component.
- the value of the high byte component's contribution remains at 39, while the value of the low byte component's contribution smoothly decreases from 255 to 0-the point at which the original 16-bit point spread function has the value 9984 (i.e. 39*256+0).
- the value of the high byte component's contribution to the point spread function then changes smoothly from 39 to 38, but that change is accompanied by an abrupt change (from 0 to 255) in the value of the low byte component's contribution to the point spread function.
- the contributions from the low-byte component of the point spread function can be processed differently in these two regions (i.e. the regions inside and outside the radius R ) to avoid unwanted artifacts.
- the effective luminance pattern for that region is preferably determined using the same relatively high resolution used to determine the effective luminance pattern for the high byte component's contribution to the point spread function, as previously described.
- the effective luminance pattern for the region outside the radius R can be determined using a much lower resolution, without substantial loss of image intensity information.
- the results are individually up-sampled to match the resolution of the LCD layer, then recombined with appropriate scaling factors being applied.
- Recombination typically involves summation of the values for the two low byte component regions and the value for the high byte component, after the value for the high byte component has been multiplied by 256.
- an effective luminance pattern value is determined using a resolution lower than the resolution of the LCD layer, it is necessary to up-sample that value to match the resolution of the LCD layer.
- Interpolation techniques for up-sampling low resolution images into high resolution images are well known, with both linear and Gaussian based techniques being common. Although such prior art techniques can be used in conjunction with the above described techniques, accuracy, or speed, or both may be improved by utilizing an interpolation technique which is optimized for a particular display configuration. Optimization facilities higher resolution image compression, minimizes introduction of unwanted interpolation artifacts, and reduces the image rendering time. In extreme cases, an interpolation technique can be used to reduce the resolution of the effective luminance pattern resolution to match the resolution of the LED layer.
- Prior art interpolation techniques are often restricted to use with specific pre-interpolation data, or to use with specific interpolation functions.
- the interpolation techniques used to match the resolution of the effective luminance pattern to that of the LCD display do not need to satisfy such restrictions, provided convolution of the pre-interpolation data with the selected interpolation function will yield an effective luminance pattern having adequate similarity to the actual effective luminance pattern.
- the required degree of similarity depends on the display application. Different applications require different degrees of similarity-in some applications relatively small deviations may unacceptably distract an observer, whereas larger deviations may be tolerable in other applications (such as applications involving television or computer game images in which relatively large deviations nonetheless yield images of quality acceptable to most observers). Consequently, it is not necessary to apply the interpolation technique directly to the actual LED driving values or to the actual LED point spread function.
- Figure 5 depicts the result obtained by using an iteratively-derived interpolation technique to reduce the resolution of the effective luminance pattern to match the resolution of the LED layer.
- the pixel values at the LED layer's resolution are not the LED driving values-they are the luminance values of the effective luminance pattern before interpolation.
- the interpolation function can be determined using standard iteration methods and a random starting condition. As seen in Figure 5 , convolution of the iteratively-derived interpolation function with the effective luminance pattern values yields results which are reasonably close to the actual effective luminance pattern.
- interpolation techniques There need not be any correlation between the interpolation function and the LEDs' point spread function, the LED driving values, or any other characteristic of the display, provided the selected interpolation function and the input parameters selected for use with that function yields a result reasonably close to the actual effective luminance pattern.

- the effective luminance pattern computed in block 58 is upsampled to the resolution of display layer 34. This may be done through the use of any suitable interpolation technique for example.
- second driving signals for the display layer are determined from the upsampled effective luminance pattern and the image data. The second driving signals may also take into account known characteristics of the display layer and any desired image corrections, colour corrections or the like.

- Blocks 72 may be performed in any sequence or may be performed in parallel with one another.
- Figure 8 shows three PSF components 73A, 73B and 73C and three corresponding blocks 72. The method could be practised with two or more PSF components 73.
- Each of blocks 72 may comprise, for each light source of light source layer 32, multiplying values that define a component of the point spread function by a value representing the intensity of the light source.
- the effective luminance patters determined in blocks 72 are combined, for example by summing, to yield an overall estimate of the effective luminance pattern that would be produced by applying the first driving signals to light source layer 32.
- Figure 9 illustrates a method 80 that may be applied for computing effective luminance patterns.
- Method 80 may be applied to:
- Method 80 begins in block 82 with data characterizing a point spread function (or a PSF component) for a light source of light source layer 32 and data indicative of how intensely the light source will operate under the control of the first driving signals. Method 80 combines these values (e.g. by multiplying them together) to obtain a set of values characterizing the contribution of the light source to the effective luminance pattern at various spatial locations.
- a point spread function or a PSF component
- Block 84 obtains high-order and low-order components of the resulting values.
- the resulting values are 16-bit words
- the high-order component is an 8-bit byte
- the low-order component is an 8-bit byte.
- Contributions to the ELP are determined separately for the high-order and low-order components in blocks 86 and 88.
- the area of support for which values are included in the high-order contribution of 86 is typically significantly smaller than the area of support for which values are included in the low-order contribution of block 88.
- Block 88 typically computes the low-order contribution for points located within the area of support of the high-order contribution (block 90) separately than for points located outside of the area of support of the high-order contribution (block 92).
- Blocks 86, 90 and 92 may be performed in any order or simultaneously.
- blocks 86, 90 and 92 the contributions from blocks 86, 90 and 92 are combined to yield an overall ELP.
- the computations in blocks 86 90 and 92 may be performed primarily or entirely in the 8-bit domain (i.e. using 8-bit operations on 8-bit operands) in the case that the high-order and low-order components are 8-bit bytes or smaller.
- Certain implementations of the invention comprise computer processors which execute software instructions which cause the processors to perform a method of the invention.
- processors in a computer or other display controller may implement the methods of Figures 7 , 8 or 9 by executing software instructions in a program memory accessible to the processors.
- the invention may also be provided in the form of a program product.
- the program product may comprise any medium which carries a set of computer-readable signals comprising instructions which, when executed by a data processor, cause the data processor to execute a method of the invention.
