Description

本発明は、テレビジョン受像機の映像信号回路に関し、弱電界における筐体輻射ノイズ低減に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a video signal circuit of a television receiver, and relates to reduction of housing radiation noise in a weak electric field.

テレビジョン受像機において、ノイズを検出し、カラーキラーや信号の黒レベル補正などの画質補正手段は、実用に供されている。   In television receivers, image quality correction means such as color killer and signal black level correction for detecting noise and being used in practice are in practical use.

実用のノイズ検出自動画質補正方法は、ノイズを含む入力映像信号に対し、画質を如何に最適に制御するかを主目的としている為、カラーキラー回路により色成分によるカラーノイズを低減したり、本来の黒レベルの再現を図っている。   The practical noise detection automatic image quality correction method is mainly aimed at how to optimally control the image quality with respect to the input video signal including noise, so the color killer circuit can reduce color noise due to color components, The black level is reproduced.

従来のテレビジョン受像機を、図3および図4を用いて説明する。図3は従来のカラーキラー回路の構成を示すブロック図である(例えば特許文献1参照。)。水平同期信号H−SYNCに重畳されたノイズ信号をノイズ成分検出回路10で検出して、そのレベルと基準電圧発生電源11で発生される基準電圧Vrefを比較増幅回路12で比較し、比較結果が基準電圧を越えると、カラー信号を最低レベルにする。   A conventional television receiver will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a conventional color killer circuit (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The noise signal superimposed on the horizontal synchronization signal H-SYNC is detected by the noise component detection circuit 10 and the level thereof is compared with the reference voltage Vref generated by the reference voltage generation power supply 11 by the comparison amplifier circuit 12. When the reference voltage is exceeded, the color signal is set to the lowest level.

また、図4は従来の黒レベル補正手段の構成を示すブロック図である(例えば特許文献2参照。)。ノイズレベル検出回路13にて、映像信号処理部14から供給される輝度信号のペデスタル期間のノイズ成分を検出し、そのノイズ成分のレベルに応じた制御信号をブライトネス制御回路15に供給することで、ノイズで浮き上がった黒レベルを本来の黒レベルに下げる。

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a conventional black level correction means (see, for example, Patent Document 2). The noise level detection circuit 13 detects a noise component in the pedestal period of the luminance signal supplied from the video signal processing unit 14, and supplies a control signal corresponding to the level of the noise component to the brightness control circuit 15. Lower the black level raised by noise to the original black level.

しかしながら、図3に示す手段では、色信号のノイズについては低減されるが、輝度信号については低減されない為、筐体輻射ノイズの低減には不十分である。またヒステリシスが無い為、基準電圧を越えた途端に色が消えてしまい、使用者の違和感を招く。   However, with the means shown in FIG. 3, although the noise of the color signal is reduced, the luminance signal is not reduced, so that it is insufficient for reducing the housing radiation noise. Also, since there is no hysteresis, the color disappears as soon as the reference voltage is exceeded, causing the user to feel uncomfortable.

また、図4に示す手段では、白レベルが主要素である輻射ノイズの軽減には不十分である。   Further, the means shown in FIG. 4 is insufficient for reducing the radiation noise whose white level is the main element.

従って、弱電界時などのノイズが大きい信号状態においては、色ノイズの抑制や黒レベルの補正する手段では、筐体輻射ノイズを低減するには、不十分であるという問題点がある。また輻射ノイズを減衰させるために、高減衰の帯域制限フィルタの使用等も考えられるが、ノイズのエッジが鈍り、ブロック状ノイズとして表示される為、視聴者に違和感を与えるという問題点がある。   Therefore, in a signal state with a large noise such as in a weak electric field, there is a problem that the means for suppressing the color noise or correcting the black level is insufficient to reduce the housing radiation noise. In order to attenuate the radiation noise, use of a high-attenuation band limiting filter may be considered. However, since the noise edge is dull and displayed as block noise, there is a problem that the viewer feels uncomfortable.

本発明は、使用者への違和感を軽減しつつ、弱電界時の筐体輻射ノイズのレベルを低減する手段を提供することを目的とするものである。   An object of the present invention is to provide a means for reducing the level of casing radiation noise at the time of a weak electric field while reducing a sense of discomfort to the user.

本発明に係るテレビジョン受像機は、入力された映像信号から検出したノイズに基づいて電界強度信号を検出する電界強度検出手段と、前記電界強度検出手段の出力に基づいて電界強度が弱い場合にコントラスト制御値を小さくするコントラスト制御値演算手段と、前記コントラスト制御値演算手段の出力に基づいて前記映像信号から分離された輝度信号のコントラストを調整するコントラスト調整手段を備えたことを特徴とする。   The television receiver according to the present invention includes an electric field intensity detecting unit that detects an electric field intensity signal based on noise detected from an input video signal, and a case where the electric field intensity is weak based on the output of the electric field intensity detecting unit. Contrast control value calculation means for reducing the contrast control value, and contrast adjustment means for adjusting the contrast of the luminance signal separated from the video signal based on the output of the contrast control value calculation means.

本発明に係るテレビジョン受像機は、コントラスト制御値演算手段の出力に基づいてオンスクリーンディスプレイ信号のコントラストを調整する手段をさらに備えたことを特徴とする。   The television receiver according to the present invention further includes means for adjusting the contrast of the on-screen display signal based on the output of the contrast control value calculation means.

本発明に係るテレビジョン受像機は、コントラスト制御値演算手段の出力に基づいて映像信号の微分信号から作成された速度変調信号のゲインを調整する手段をさらに備えたことを特徴とする。   The television receiver according to the present invention is characterized by further comprising means for adjusting the gain of the speed modulation signal created from the differential signal of the video signal based on the output of the contrast control value calculation means.

本発明に係るテレビジョン受像機のコントラスト制御値演算手段は、コントラスト低減ゲイン及び低減開始電界強度の設定を変更することにより機器に合わせることを特徴とする。   The contrast control value calculation means of the television receiver according to the present invention is characterized in that it is adapted to the device by changing the setting of the contrast reduction gain and the reduction start electric field strength.

以上により、弱電界を検出し、映像およびオンスクリーンディスプレイ(OSD)のコントラストを徐々に低減させることができる。   As described above, a weak electric field can be detected, and the contrast of an image and an on-screen display (OSD) can be gradually reduced.

本発明のテレビジョン受像機は、弱電界でのコントラスト低減ゲインを大きくかつ、スムーズに低減させるよう演算することで、空きチャンネル受信時でも、コントラストが急変する等の使用者の違和感を軽減しながら、筐体輻射ノイズを低減できるという利点がある。   The television receiver of the present invention calculates the contrast reduction gain in a weak electric field to be large and smoothly reduced, while reducing the user's uncomfortable feeling that the contrast changes suddenly even when an empty channel is received. There is an advantage that the casing radiation noise can be reduced.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a television receiver according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
A noise detection circuit 7 detects the noise amount of the video signal input from the input terminal 1. An average value of the noise amount data that is the output of the noise detection circuit 7 is referred to as a pre-calculation electric field strength detection value. The electric field strength can be detected by the pre-calculation electric field strength detection value.
The contrast control value is calculated by the calculation and control circuit 3, and the contrast adjustment circuit 6, the speed modulation circuit 8, and the OSD contrast adjustment circuit 9 of the video signal are controlled based on the obtained calculation result, and the contrast and speed modulation signal Reduce the gain. The reduced contrast signal is RGB-converted in the video signal processing circuit 2 and similarly synthesized with the OSD signal with the reduced contrast and the video OSD synthesis circuit 4 and then displayed on the CRT 5.

図2は本発明の実施の形態1における電界強度とコントラストとの関係を示した説明図である。図2は、実際の電界強度に対する演算前電界強度検出値、演算後電界強度検出値及び下記の式(1)によって求められた演算後コントラスト制御値を示している。   FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between electric field strength and contrast in the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows the pre-computation field strength detection value, the post-computation field strength detection value, and the post-computation contrast control value obtained by the following equation (1) with respect to the actual electric field strength.

演算後コントラスト制御値=演算前コントラスト制御値−演算後電界強度検出値x低減傾き量x(固定値B−低減量)/固定値C・・・式(1)
ここで、演算前コントラスト制御値は固定値である。また、演算後電界強度検出値は演算前電界強度検出値/係数Aで与えられる。
Post-computation contrast control value = pre-comparison contrast control value−post-computation electric field strength detection value × reduction slope amount x (fixed value B−reduction amount) / fixed value C (1)
Here, the pre-calculation contrast control value is a fixed value. The post-computation field strength detection value is given by the pre-computation field strength detection value / coefficient A.

係数Aは固定値C/演算前電界強度検出値とし、先に計算し、小数点以下を切り捨てておく。この演算により、電界強度が強い時は、コントラスト低減は行わず、電界強度が弱い時だけスムーズに低減することができる。また、低減傾き量と低減量は、使用機器および所望の減衰量に応じて、自由に設定を変えることができる。   The coefficient A is a fixed value C / pre-calculation electric field strength detection value, calculated in advance, and rounded down after the decimal point. By this calculation, when the electric field strength is strong, the contrast is not reduced, and it can be smoothly reduced only when the electric field strength is weak. Further, the setting of the amount of reduction inclination and the amount of reduction can be freely changed according to the device used and the desired amount of attenuation.

以上により、弱電界以外ではコントラストを変化させず最適な画質設定の状態を維持するが、電界強度が弱いと判断した場合のみ、スムーズに輝度を低減し、筐体輻射ノイズを抑制するという目的を、部品の追加なく、ソフトウェアでの処理のみで実現することができる。   As described above, the optimum image quality setting state is maintained without changing the contrast except for weak electric fields, but only when it is determined that the electric field strength is weak, the purpose is to smoothly reduce the luminance and suppress the housing radiation noise. It can be realized only by software processing without adding parts.

コントラスト低減ゲインの設定や開始電界強度は係数のデータの変更により、容易に可変でき、さまざまな映像表示デバイスにも対応できる。また、筐体輻射ノイズの低減のみならず、空きチャンネル受信での放置時に、消費電力低減し環境にも配慮した機器にも適用できる。   The setting of the contrast reduction gain and the starting electric field strength can be easily changed by changing the coefficient data, and can be applied to various video display devices. In addition to the reduction of housing radiation noise, the present invention can be applied to an environment-friendly device that reduces power consumption when left in an idle channel reception.
