Recently, a flat panel display device having advantages of thinning and low power consumption has appeared. Particularly, attention has been paid to a liquid crystal display (LCD) and an organic light emitting diode (OLED).
The flat panel display includes a display panel for displaying an image, and the display panel includes a plurality of unit pixels composed of R, G, and B sub-pixels.
In recent years, a display device having an RGBW pixel structure or an RWGWBW pixel structure in which at least one W subpixel is added to an RGB pixel structure in order to enhance the luminance has appeared.

In the case of the Sobel edge extraction method, a 3 × 3 mask is used to detect edges in the vertical and horizontal directions. Since the text is arranged in the background, it is scanned in the background-text-background order. Thus, an edge is detected once at the background-text boundary, and an edge is detected again at the boundary of the text-background. As a result, the edges are formed in a double manner, and both the vertical and horizontal directions are detected. Thus, the edge forms a closed curve surrounding the text.

The
The first threshold value and the second threshold value define the width and length of the strokes constituting the text, respectively. RWGWBW is a value for separately extracting and correcting a text having a certain size or less in readability in a display device having a pixel structure.
Since the display device according to the embodiment of the present invention needs to improve readability in the case of text having a size of 22 unit pixels or less, the first threshold value defining the width of the stroke is set to 4 unit pixels, The second threshold value is preferably set to 22 unit pixels. That is, when the size of the text character is 22 unit pixels, the line width does not exceed 4 unit pixel size. Accordingly, the first threshold value is set to 4 unit pixels, and the second threshold value is set to 22 unit pixels.
Referring to FIG. 4, there are two closed curves. When measuring the distance between the edge and the edge in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction at the

The
When the unit pixel in which the text data is to be displayed is the first unit pixel, the RGB data (R, G, B) corresponding to the text unit pixel is R data, G data and B data, The W data is set to a value obtained by subtracting the minimum value from the R, G, and B data of the R, G, and B data of the R, G, and B data. That is, the RWG data can be represented by (R-MIN (R, G, B), MAX (R, G, B) .
If the unit pixel to be displayed with the text data is a second unit pixel composed of W, B and W subpixels, the RGB data (R, G, B) corresponding to the text unit pixel is converted into WBW data MAX (R, G, B) - MIN (R, G, B), B - MIN (R, G, B) That is, the W data of the WBW data is set to a value obtained by subtracting the minimum value from the maximum value among the R, G, and B data of the RGB data, and the B data of the WBW data is set to the R, G, B data, that is, the W data value of the WBW data.
The display device of the present invention corrects the W data of the text area in order to improve the readability of the small text because each unit pixel does not include all R, G, and B subpixels. The W data of the RWGWBW corresponding to the unit pixel in which the text data is to be displayed is converted into the W data of the RWGWBW by subtracting the minimum value among the R, G, and B data of the RGB data from the maximum value among the R, G, and B data of the RGB data Setting. In the case of converting into RGBW data in the same manner as described above, the readability of a small-sized text can be improved.
For example, when the text color is a pure B color, the first unit pixel composed of R, W, and G subpixels does not include B subpixels, and thus can not represent B colors. The W data of the RWBWGW is set to the difference between the largest value and the smallest value among the R, G, and B data of the RGB data, so that the W data has the same gray level value as the B data, and as the gray level of the B color becomes larger, The gradation of the B color becomes smaller as the gradation of the B color becomes smaller, and the read W color of the B color can be corrected so as not to be larger than the R color, the G color and the B color so that the readability of the text of a smaller size can be improved.

The process of converting the R, G, and B data among the RGBW data into the RWGWBW data is as follows.
Referring to FIG. 6, when the unit pixel in which the background data is to be displayed is the first unit pixel, the R data R0 of the first unit pixel is the R data of the RGBW corresponding to the first unit pixel 150 (151, 153, 155, 154, and 157) of RGBW data corresponding to a unit pixel in which background data adjacent to the left, right, lower, lower left, and right sides of the first unit pixel are to be displayed, ) Are weighted averaged and set. The second color data of the first unit pixel is composed of the second color data of RGBW corresponding to the first unit pixel and the second color data of RGBW that are adjacent to the left, right, lower, lower left, and right sides of the first unit pixel, The second color data of the RGBW data corresponding to the unit pixel not including the second color data is weighted averaged. That is, a weighted average is performed except for a unit pixel including text information or when a unit pixel does not exist.
When the unit pixel on which the background data is to be displayed is a second unit pixel, the B data of the second unit pixel is divided into B data of RGBW corresponding to the first unit pixel and B data of RGBW corresponding to the left, , B data of RGBW data corresponding to the unit pixel in which the background data adjacent to the lower left and lower sides are to be displayed is weighted averaged and set. That is, a weighted average is performed except for a unit pixel including text information, or when a unit pixel does not exist.
That is, the weight of the RGBW data corresponding to the unit pixel to be corrected is increased, and the weight of the RGBW data value corresponding to the unit pixel adjacent to the right, lower, left, and right side of the unit pixel is made small. The following equation is expressed by the following equation.
In the equation (1), a formula for obtaining the data R 0, R 0 represents an R data of RWGWBW data, using the R 1 to R 6 of the RGBW data is obtained the R 0 of RWBWGW data. Where a to f are weights. The weight of the R 2 data of the RGBW data corresponding to the unit pixel in which the background data is to be displayed is increased. That is, the weight b is larger than the remaining weights a, c to f.
