Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a large display device and a brightness control method thereof, and more particularly, to a large display device including a plurality of unit panels and a brightness control method thereof.
Today's display panels are dominated by flat panel displays such as plasma display panels (PDPs), liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs).
In addition, since one display panel has a limitation on the screen size, in order to display a large screen by expanding the size of the screen area, it is recommended to construct a large display device by continuously arranging and combining unit panels of a certain size in up, down, left, and right directions. It is common.
When a large display device is configured in such a manner that a plurality of unit panels are connected to each other to form a large screen, luminance deviations occur between the unit panels. It affects the characteristics such as temperature.
In particular, when implementing a large display device, each unit panel does not have the same luminance uniformity, and thus, even if all the unit panels have the same luminance setting value, each unit panel may display different luminance. For example, when the luminance setting value of '50' is given to the first unit panel and the luminance setting value of '50' is also given to the second unit panel, when the luminance of the two unit panels is actually measured, different luminance values are obtained. Indicates.
1 is a diagram illustrating an example of luminance deviation of a large display device. (a) is a normal display state before the luminance deviation occurs, and (b) illustrates a state where the luminance decrease occurs in the unit panel on the upper right side.
Conventionally, in order to solve the luminance deviation between unit panels, the user may determine the luminance deviation of the screen by time, or readjust the luminance of each unit panel by external luminance measuring equipment at the upper part of the screen to readjust the luminance. To do the job.
However, it is incorrect to determine whether or not a luminance deviation has occurred depending on time. In addition, when the external equipment is used for the luminance measurement, it is necessary to mobilize additional expensive equipment, and the measurement is complicated and the process for readjusting the luminance is difficult. In other words, it is difficult to perform the brightness adjustment immediately and frequently because it requires complicated processes and equipment, and it is impossible in reality for the general user to adjust the brightness deviation one by one.
The present invention has been proposed to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, the object of which is to improve the screen quality by solving the luminance deviation between the expected unit panel when implementing a large display device using unit panels The present invention provides a large display device and a brightness control method thereof.
A large display device according to the present invention includes a multi display panel composed of unit panels connected to each other; Optical measuring sensors installed in each of the unit panels to measure luminance; And comparing the measured luminance values obtained by the photometric sensors with each other, calculating luminance adjustment information for compensating for the luminance deviation between the unit panels according to a comparison result, and then calculating the luminance adjustment information based on the calculated luminance adjustment information. And a luminance compensation calculating processor for controlling the luminance of the unit panels.
On the other hand, the brightness control method of a large display device according to the present invention is a brightness control method of a large display device including unit panels connected to each other, the large display device by the optical measuring sensors installed in each of the unit panels Obtaining and collecting measured luminance values; Selecting a reference luminance value by comparing the luminance deviation between the unit panels by using the measured luminance values collected by the large display device; And controlling the luminance of the target panel according to the luminance adjustment information calculated by calculating the luminance adjustment information of the target panel among the unit panels according to the selected reference luminance value.
According to the present invention, the screen quality may be improved by solving the luminance deviation that may appear when the multi-display is implemented.
In other words, it is possible to measure and control the luminance value in real time through the optical measuring sensor inside the unit panel, so that no external equipment is required, and the measurement and control of the luminance are automatically performed to improve the convenience of use. Inconsistency in display properties such as luminance uniformity, color uniformity, and color temperature in the entire screen of the display device can be prevented.

Referring to FIG. 2, a large display device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of unit panels connected to each other (DP1, DP2, DP3, DP4, hereinafter referred to as DP when no distinction is necessary). Optical measuring sensors SR1, SR2, SR3, SR4 installed inside each of the
The large display device according to an exemplary embodiment includes a photo measuring sensor SR for measuring actual luminance in each unit panel DP, and measures the luminance of each unit panel DP continuously or at predetermined intervals. The luminance compensation
The
Basically, each unit panel DP exhibits a constant luminance in response to a given luminance setting value. For example, when the luminance setting value is set to '50' in a specific unit panel DP, the panel displays the luminance of '400 cd / m 2'.
As a method of measuring luminance using the optical measuring sensor SR, a method of measuring and controlling luminance in real time by continuously performing measurement simultaneously with driving of the unit panel DP, and measuring / controlling at predetermined time intervals. For example, there may be a method of measuring and controlling luminance by setting a specific time.

For example, the
In this way, all of the unit panels DP constituting the
The luminance
An exemplary process of luminance compensation will be described below.
First, although the same luminance setting value is set in all of the unit panels DP, the actual luminance of each unit panel DP may be different.
For example, although the luminance setting value '50' is set to be the same in all the unit panels DP, the actual luminance of the first unit panel DP1 represents '300 cd / m 2', and the second to third unit panels ( Assume that the actual luminance of DP1, DP2, DP3, DP4) represents '400 cd / m 2'.
In this case, the luminance
Even when the luminance setting value is adjusted through calculation to compensate for the luminance deviation, there is a case where the actual luminance displayed on the target panel is not displayed as a desired value. In order to prevent this, one embodiment may adjust the luminance several times in succession to accurately compare the measured luminance value and the reference luminance value several times to accurately generate the desired actual luminance.
Meanwhile, a method of adjusting the luminance by the luminance
For example, when the unit panel DP is an LCD panel, the

Referring to FIG. 3, each unit panel DP constituting a large screen of the
The photometric sensor SR for luminance measurement is built in the unit panel DP.
For example, when each unit panel DP constituting the
The photometric sensor SR used here is selected to be able to perform a sufficient role as a compact and inexpensive device. For example, a photoconductive cell (Cds), a photodiode, a phototransistor, a photo thyristor, a charge coupled device (CCD), a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor, and the like may be applied. When the photoelectric sensor or the photomultiplier tube is used as the optical measuring sensor SR, more accurate measurement can be realized. These devices are inexpensive, very small (within 1 cm in diameter) and excellent in sensitivity, making them suitable for use in photometric sensors (SR).
The above-described luminance compensation

As such, one embodiment compares and evaluates measured values of real-time luminance of each unit panel when realizing a large display device in order to solve the luminance deviation between unit panels DP. The overall unit panels DP are adjusted to uniform luminance. In this case, by adjusting the luminance several times, the luminance error that may appear in each unit panel DP may be minimized to achieve more accurate luminance uniformity in a large display device.
