The illumination light from the plurality of types of light sources is modulated.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to realize a desired good color reproduction without depending on the ratio of the emission intensity of the plurality of types of light sources.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of an image display apparatus according to the present invention. The image display apparatus shown in FIG. 1 includes a color conversion unit 1, a coefficient generation unit 2, and an image display unit 3. The image display unit 3 includes a light emission ratio control unit 4, a first light source 5, and a second light source. 6, illumination light diffusing means 7, and light receiving type light modulating means 8.

  The first image data R1, G1, and B1 are input to the color conversion unit 1 and the light emission ratio control unit 4. Here, R1, G1, and B1 are data representing red, green, and blue, respectively, for each pixel. The color conversion unit 1 performs color conversion processing on the first image data R1, G1, and B1 based on the color conversion coefficient from the coefficient generation unit 2 to generate second image data R2, G2, and B2. The color conversion unit 1 includes a matrix calculation circuit, a lookup table using a memory, and the like. When the color conversion means 1 is constituted by a matrix calculation circuit, the color conversion coefficient is given as a calculation coefficient (matrix coefficient) for matrix calculation. When the color conversion unit 1 is configured by a lookup table or the like, the color conversion coefficient is given as a table value.

  The light emission ratio control means 4 transmits the contents (for example, lightness distribution) of the first image data R1, G1, B1 over each screen, or a predetermined number preceding each screen and several past screens, for example, each screen. Based on the result of the analysis over the screen, the ratio of light emission of the first light source 5 and the second light source 6 when the screen is displayed is controlled. The ratio of light emission of the first light source 5 and the second light source 6 is controlled by the light emission intensity control data V1 and V2. The emission intensity control data V1 is data for controlling the emission intensity of the first light source 5, and the emission intensity control data V2 is data for controlling the emission intensity of the second light source 6. Light from the first light source 5 and the second light source 6 is diffused by the illumination light diffusion means 7 so as to uniformly illuminate the light receiving type light modulation means 8.

  The second image data R2, G2, and B2 are input to the light receiving type light modulation means 8. The light receiving type light modulating means 8 is constituted by a transmissive liquid crystal panel, for example, and changes the transmittance for each pixel based on the second image data R2, G2, B2. Thereby, the intensity of the illumination light diffused by the illumination light diffusing means 7 is modulated for each pixel to display an image.

  The first light source 5 and the second light source 6 emit light having different spectral characteristics. Here, the first light source 5 is a light source capable of displaying an image in a wide color reproduction range, and the second light source 6 is inferior in the color reproduction range, but has excellent luminous efficiency (that is, emits bright light). Possible light source. For example, the first light source 5 may have a configuration in which a plurality of light sources of different colors such as red, green, and blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) are arranged. On the other hand, the second light source 6 is constituted by a cold cathode fluorescent lamp or the like. In general, a light source using red, green, and blue LEDs has a spectrum concentrated near the dominant wavelength of each color and emits light with less unnecessary spectral components, so that it is possible to display an image in a wide color reproduction range. On the other hand, at present, the luminous efficiency of the LED is lower than that of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp, and the cold cathode fluorescent lamp is more advantageous for emitting bright light with the same power.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the light emission ratio control means 4. The light emission ratio control means 4 shown in FIG. 2 includes a lightness calculation means 9, a histogram generation means 10, and a light emission ratio calculation means 11. The first image data R 1, G 1, B 1 are input to the brightness calculation means 9. The brightness calculation means 9 calculates and outputs the brightness L indicated by the first image data R1, G1, B1. The lightness L is calculated, for example, by weighted addition of the first image data R1, G1, and B1. At this time, the weight is determined by the magnitude of the contribution to the brightness of each color. The lightness L is input to the histogram generation means 10. The histogram generation means 10 generates, for example, a histogram D (L) representing the lightness L distribution of each pixel in one screen. The histogram D (L) represents the frequency of occurrence of the pixels having the lightness value in one screen for each value of the lightness L.

  The histogram D (L) is input to the light emission ratio calculation means 11. The light emission ratio calculation means 11 determines the light emission intensity control data V1 of the first light source 5 and the light emission intensity control data V2 of the second light source 6 according to the contents of the histogram D (L). For example, the center of gravity of the histogram D (L) is obtained, and the light emission intensity of the light source 6 increases when the center of gravity is in a region with a high brightness value, and the light emission intensity of the light source 5 is high when the center of gravity is in a region with a low brightness value. The emission intensity control data V1 and V2 are determined so that That is, when it is determined that the screen is a bright screen, the display is focused on brightness by increasing the light emission ratio of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp having higher luminous efficiency, and the screen is a relatively dark screen. If it is determined that the light emission ratio of the LED having a more excellent color reproduction range is increased, the color reproduction range is emphasized. This makes it possible to achieve both display brightness and color reproduction range. Here, instead of using the center of gravity of the histogram, the light emission ratio calculating means 11 may estimate the brightness of the screen using an average value, a cumulative frequency, or the like.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing another example of the light emission ratio control means 4. The configuration of the light emission ratio control unit 4 shown in FIG. 3 is obtained by replacing the lightness calculation unit 9 with the saturation calculation unit 12 in the configuration shown in FIG. The saturation calculation unit 12 calculates and outputs the saturation S indicated by the first image data R1, G1, and B1. The saturation S is calculated using the maximum value and the minimum value of the first image data R1, G1, B1, for example. The saturation S is input to the histogram generation means 10 and a histogram D (S) is generated for each screen. The light emission ratio calculation means 11 determines the light emission intensity control data V1 and V2 according to the contents of the histogram D (S). Is done. The above operation is the same as that in FIG. In the configuration of the light emission ratio control means 4 shown in FIG. 3, when it is determined that the screen is a vivid screen with high saturation, the light emission ratio of the LED having a more excellent color reproduction range is increased. If the display is focused on the color reproduction range and the screen is determined to be a relatively low-saturation screen, the power consumption can be reduced by increasing the emission ratio of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp with better luminous efficiency. Display with emphasis on. Thereby, both low power consumption and a color reproduction range can be achieved.

  Next, the operation in the coefficient generating means 2 will be described. The coefficient generation means 2 receives light emission intensity control data V1 and V2. The coefficient generating means 2 obtains a light emission ratio from the light emission intensity control data V1 and V2, and generates a color conversion coefficient based on the obtained light emission ratio. Here, if the color conversion processing in the color conversion means 1 is expressed by the following equation (1), the color conversion coefficient is expressed by a matrix coefficient (Aij). The matrix coefficient (Aij) is a 3 × 3 matrix with i = 1 to 3 and j = 1 to 3.

  FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an example of the coefficient generation means 2. The coefficient generation means 2 shown in FIG. 4 includes a light emission ratio calculation means 13, coefficient storage means 14a to 14e, a coefficient selection means 15, and a coefficient interpolation means 16. The light emission intensity control data V 1 and V 2 are input to the light emission ratio calculation means 13. The light emission ratio calculation means 13 calculates a normalized light emission ratio a that is a normalized light emission ratio of the first light source 5. The normalized emission ratio is normalized to be 1 when the emission ratios of the first light source 5 and the second light source 6 are added. Therefore, the normalized emission ratio of the second light source 6 is (1− a). The normalized light emission ratio a is input to the coefficient selection unit 15 and the coefficient interpolation unit 16.

  The coefficient storage units 14a to 14e each store in advance a color conversion coefficient for a representative value of the normalized light emission ratio a. The coefficient storage means 14a is a color conversion coefficient for the normalized emission ratio a = a0 = 0, the coefficient storage means 14b is a color conversion coefficient for the normalized emission ratio a = a1 = 0.25, and the coefficient storage means 14c is normalized. The color conversion coefficient for the light emission ratio a = a2 = 0.5, the coefficient storage means 14d is the color conversion coefficient for the normalized light emission ratio a = a3 = 0.75, and the coefficient storage means 14e is the normalized light emission ratio a = a4 = The color conversion coefficient for 1 is stored. Each color conversion coefficient has a different value.

  As the light emission ratio changes, the spectral characteristics of the illumination light from the light source that illuminates the light-receiving light modulation means 8 change. Therefore, if the modulation in the light receiving type light modulating means 8 is the same (that is, the value of the second image data is the same), the spectral characteristic (that is, the displayed color) of the light after the modulation changes. Therefore, in order for the displayed colors to be the same, the value of the second image data needs to change according to the light emission ratio of the light source. That is, in order for the same color to be displayed for the same first image data value, the corresponding second image data value needs to change according to the light emission ratio of the light source. In other words, the color conversion coefficient for generating the second image data from the first image data needs to change according to the light emission ratio of the light source. Here, the same displayed colors are not necessarily limited to those having the same spectral characteristics, but include that the colorimetric or visual difference is within an allowable range.

The coefficient selection unit 15 selects two appropriate sets of color conversion coefficients stored in the coefficient storage units 14a to 14e based on the value of the normalized light emission ratio a output from the light emission ratio calculation unit 13. Output as (Dij) and (Eij). Here, as the appropriate two sets of color conversion coefficients (Dij) and (Eij), the color conversion coefficients for the two values (two of a0 to a4) closest to the input normalized light emission ratio a are used. Is selected.
For example, when the normalized emission ratio a = 0.6, the coefficient stored in the coefficient storage unit 14c, which is a color conversion coefficient for the normalized emission ratio a = a2 = 0.5, is (Dij) A coefficient stored in the coefficient storage unit 14d, which is a color conversion coefficient for the normalized emission ratio a = a3 = 0.75, is selected as (Eij).

The coefficient interpolation means 16 calculates a color conversion coefficient (Aij) corresponding to the value of the input normalized light emission ratio a from the two selected color conversion coefficients (Dij) and (Eij). For example, the value of each element of the color conversion coefficient (Aij) is obtained by weighted addition of the values of each element of (Dij) and (Eij). The weighting at this time is determined according to the distance between the input normalized emission ratio a and the normalized emission ratio corresponding to the selected coefficient.
If the normalized light emission ratio a output from the light emission ratio calculating means 13 is equal to ai (i = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4), a color conversion coefficient for ai and a (i + 1) or Select a color conversion coefficient for a (i-1). In this case, in weighted addition, 1 is applied to the color conversion coefficient for ai, and 0 is applied to the color conversion coefficient for a (i + 1) or a (i-1).

  The image display apparatus in the present embodiment operates as described above. Therefore, by changing the light emission ratio of multiple types of light sources that emit light having different spectral characteristics depending on the content of the image, for example, it is possible to achieve both display brightness or low power consumption and a wide color reproduction range. It becomes. In addition, since the characteristics of color conversion are determined based on the light emission ratios of a plurality of types of light sources, it is possible to realize desired good color reproduction without depending on the light emission ratios of the plurality of types of light sources.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing another embodiment of the image display device according to the present invention. The image display apparatus shown in FIG. 5 includes a color conversion unit 1, a coefficient generation unit 2b, and an image display unit 3b. The image display unit 3b includes a light emission ratio control unit 4b, an R light source 17, a G light source 18, and a B light source. 19, illumination light diffusing means 7, and light receiving type light modulating means 8. The configuration other than the coefficient generation means 2b, the light emission ratio control means 4b, the R light source 17, the G light source 18, and the B light source 19 is the same as that shown in FIG.

  The first image data R1, G1, and B1 are input to the color conversion unit 1 and the light emission ratio control unit 4b. The color conversion unit 1 performs color conversion processing on the first image data R1, G1, and B1 based on the color conversion coefficient from the coefficient generation unit 2b to generate second image data R2, G2, and B2. When the color conversion means 1 is composed of a matrix calculation circuit, the color conversion coefficient is given as a calculation coefficient for matrix calculation. When the color conversion unit 1 is configured by a lookup table or the like, the color conversion coefficient is given as a table value.

The light emission ratio control means 4b provides the contents of the first image data R1, G1, B1 (for example, distribution of color components) over each screen or each screen and several past screens, for example, a predetermined preceding each screen. Based on the results of the analysis, the ratio of the light emission of the R light source 17, the G light source 18 and the B light source 19 when the screen is displayed is controlled. The light emission ratios of the R light source 17, the G light source 18, and the B light source 19 are controlled by the light emission intensity control data VR, VG, and VB. The emission intensity control data VR is data for controlling the emission intensity of the R light source 17, the emission intensity control data VG is data for controlling the emission intensity of the G light source 18, and the emission intensity control data VB is B. This is data for controlling the light emission intensity of the light source 19.
The R light source 17, the G light source 18, and the B light source 19 emit red, green, and blue light, respectively (that is, emit light having different spectral characteristics). The R light source 17, the G light source 18, and the B light source 19 can be configured by, for example, red, green, and blue light emitting diodes (LEDs).

Light from the R light source 17, the G light source 18, and the B light source 19 is diffused by the illumination light diffusing unit 7 so as to uniformly illuminate the light receiving type light modulating unit 8.
The second image data R2, G2, and B2 are input to the light receiving type light modulation means 8. The light receiving type light modulating means 8 is constituted by a transmissive liquid crystal panel, for example, and changes the transmittance for each pixel based on the second image data R2, G2, B2. Thereby, the intensity of the illumination light diffused by the illumination light diffusing means 7 is modulated for each pixel to display an image.

  FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing an example of the light emission ratio control means 4b. The light emission ratio control unit 4b illustrated in FIG. 6 includes a chromatic color component calculation unit 20, a histogram generation unit 10b, and a light emission ratio calculation unit 11b. The first image data R 1, G 1, B 1 is input to the chromatic color component calculation means 20. The chromatic color component calculation means 20 calculates and outputs chromatic color component data r, g, b representing the chromatic color component in the first image data R1, G1, B1. The chromatic color component data r, g, and b are obtained by the following equation (2), for example.

  In Expression (2), α is the minimum value of the first image data R1, G1, and B1, and represents an achromatic component in the first image data R1, G1, and B1. The chromatic color component data r, g, b is input to the histogram generation means 10b. The histogram generation unit 10b generates, for example, histograms D (r), D (g), and D (b) representing the distribution of chromatic color component data r, g, and b in one screen for each screen. Histograms D (r), D (g), and D (b) represent the occurrence frequency within one screen of pixels having the values for each value of chromatic color component data r, g, and b.

  The histograms D (r), D (g), and D (b) are input to the light emission ratio calculation unit 11b. The light emission ratio calculating means 11b is configured to emit light intensity control data VR of the R light source 17, light emission intensity control data VG of the G light source 18, and B light source according to the contents of the histograms D (r), D (g), D (b). 19 emission intensity control data VB are determined. For example, the respective centroids of the histograms D (r), D (g), and D (b) are obtained, and the emission intensity of the R light source 17 is increased when the centroid of the histogram D (r) is larger than the others. When the center of gravity of the histogram D (b) is higher than the others, the emission intensity of the G light source 18 becomes stronger when the center of gravity of the histogram D (b) is higher than the others. The emission intensity control data VR, VG, and VB are determined so as to increase. In other words, when it is determined that the screen is a strong red screen as a whole, the display is made by increasing the light emission ratio of the R light source 17 to improve the red reproducibility, and the screen is a strong green screen as a whole. If it is determined that the light emission ratio of the G light source 18 is increased to improve the green reproducibility, and if it is determined that the screen is a strong blue screen as a whole, The light emission ratio of the light source 19 is increased so that the display is improved in blue reproducibility. As a result, the color reproducibility of the display image can be improved.

When the light-receiving type light modulation means 8 is a color liquid crystal panel, each pixel is provided with a color filter. Generally, the color filter tends to transmit light having a wavelength other than the transmission band. Further, in order to perform bright display with low power consumption, the transmission band of the color filter is often very wide. Therefore, the light that has passed through the color filter often transmits some light that is originally unnecessary (not to be transmitted).
In the image display device of the present embodiment, for example, when the light emission ratio of the R light source 17 is made higher than the others, the illumination light that illuminates the light-receiving light modulating means 8 is in the green and blue regions (short to medium wavelength). The wavelength component becomes relatively small. As a result, the red color that is displayed after being modulated by the light receiving type light modulating means 8 is displayed as a red having a higher purity because unnecessary wavelength components are reduced. As a result, there is an effect that the reproducibility of red is very high. The same applies to green and blue.
Here, instead of using the center of gravity of the histogram, the light emission ratio calculating means 11b may use an average value or a cumulative frequency.

  Next, the operation in the coefficient generating means 2b will be described. The coefficient generation means 2b receives light emission intensity control data VR, VG, VB. In the coefficient generation means 2b, a light emission ratio is obtained from the light emission intensity control data VR, VG, VB, and a color conversion coefficient is generated based on the obtained light emission ratio. Here, even in the case of a strong red screen, for example, there are generally green and blue pixels in the screen. At this time, when the light emission ratio of the R light source 17 is higher than the others, unnecessary wavelength components are reduced for pixels that display red, while they are unnecessary for display of green and blue pixels. The wavelength component (red) increases and color reproducibility deteriorates. The coefficient generating means 2b generates a coefficient that reduces unnecessary color components from the image signal for pixels whose unnecessary wavelength components increase and color reproducibility deteriorates by changing the light emission ratio of the light source. .

  When the emission ratio of the R light source 17 is higher than the others, a coefficient for reducing the red component in the image signal is generated for the display of the green and blue pixels. In other words, if the first image data R1, G1, B1 represents green or blue, a coefficient is generated so that the ratio of R2 in the second image data R2, G2, B2 is small. Here, if the color conversion processing in the color conversion means 1 is expressed by the following equation (3), the color conversion coefficient is expressed by a matrix coefficient (Aij).

  In the above equation (3), a11, a21, and a31 are coefficients that determine the ratio of the second image data R2, G2, and B2, respectively, when the first image data represents red, and a12, a22, and a32 are the first. Coefficients for determining the ratio of the second image data R2, G2, and B2 when one image data represents green, a13, a23, and a33 are the second image data when the first image data represents blue It is a coefficient that determines the ratio of R2, G2, and B2, respectively. Accordingly, in the light emission ratio obtained from the light emission intensity control data VR, VG, VB, for example, when the light emission ratio of the R light source 17 is higher than the others, the coefficient generating means 2b generates coefficients with the values of a12 and a13 made smaller. .

  The color conversion process in the color conversion unit 1 may be a process represented by the following expression (4) instead of the above expression (3). In equation (4), the matrix coefficient (Hij) is the color conversion coefficient generated by the coefficient generating means 2b. In Expression (4), α is the minimum value of the first image data R1, G1, B1, and represents an achromatic component in the first image data R1, G1, B1.

  According to the above equation (4), it is possible to adjust achromatic color reproduction in addition to red, blue, and green color reproduction. In the above equation (4), h14, h24, and h34 are coefficients that respectively determine the ratios of the second image data R2, G2, and B2 when the first image data represents an achromatic color. According to the color conversion process of the above formula (4), it is possible to improve the color reproduction of achromatic colors such as white on a strong red screen. When the light emission ratio of the R light source 17 is higher than the others, the reproduction of achromatic colors such as white has a strong redness. Therefore, the coefficient generating means 2b reduces the ratio of the second image data R2 when the first image data R1, G1, B1 represents an achromatic color by decreasing the value of d14. This eliminates the intensity of the achromatic red color displayed.

  Furthermore, the color conversion process in the color conversion unit 1 may be a process represented by the following formula (5) instead of the above formula (3) or formula (4). In equation (5), the matrix coefficient (Kij) is the color conversion coefficient generated by the coefficient generating means 2b. In the formula (5), hr, hg, hb, hc, hm, and hy are calculation terms that are effective only for the hues of red, green, blue, cyan, yellow, and magenta, respectively, and the first color data R1, It is generated from G1 and B1. α is the minimum value of the first image data R1, G1, B1, and represents an achromatic component in the first image data R1, G1, B1.

  According to the above equation (5), by adjusting the value of the matrix coefficient related to each calculation term, the six hues of red, blue, green, cyan, yellow, and magenta, and achromatic color reproduction can be independently performed. It becomes possible to adjust to. When the light emission ratio of the R light source 17 is higher than the others, the color reproduction of the adjacent yellow and magenta becomes strong reddish. Can be adjusted independently of the red color reproduction, and the redness of the displayed yellow and magenta can be eliminated.

  The image display apparatus in the present embodiment operates as described above. Therefore, the light emission ratios of a plurality of types of light sources that emit light of different colors according to the contents of the image are changed, and the characteristics of color conversion are determined based on the light emission ratios of the light sources, so that good color reproduction can be realized. Is possible.
