OBJECT DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION · Technical Fields of the Invention The present invention is directed to a method of converting a voltage to a crystal, and a method of converting a voltage, in particular, a liquid crystal display according to the amount of a liquid crystal display. The method of adjusting the overdrive voltage of the liquid crystal display. [Prior Art] 液晶 The liquid crystal display is limited by the reaction speed of the liquid crystal. When the halogen display changes the gray scale, the liquid crystal needs a response time to achieve the correct gray level to be displayed. Therefore, the liquid crystal display often utilizes the overdrive ( 〇verdrive,) The way the voltage compensates for the slower reaction time of the liquid crystal. Please refer to Figure 11, Figure 1 for a schematic diagram of overdrive voltage. It is assumed that when the applied electric field intensity is E1, the luminance output corresponding to the gray-scale gossip is generated. When the applied electric field intensity is E2, the luminance output corresponding to the gray level A2 is generated, and the applied electric field intensity is E3. A luminance output corresponding to the gray level A3 is generated (E1 < E2 < E3, A1 < A2 < A3). When a pixel (pixei) wants to change from grayscale A1 to grayscale A2, if the driving voltage is not used, the liquid crystal display converts the electric power intensity from E1 to E2 so that the pixel follows the grayscale curve 2 The desired gray level A2 is output after the delay time. However, if the time for converting the pixel from the gray level A1 to the A2 is to be shortened, the liquid crystal display can convert the electric field intensity applied to the liquid crystal from m to a large electric field intensity E3, and the liquid crystal of the pixel will pass through the gray scale curve 4 Switch to the target k gray level eight 2 'by taking this to shorten the delay time. The general overdrive voltage technique uses a 200803703 ‘overdrive voltage lookup table (LUT) to record the drive voltage required for each grayscale conversion. Please refer to Figure 2, which is a schematic diagram of the overdrive voltage lookup table. The overdrive voltage lookup table includes a first grayscale array 12, a second grayscale array 14, and a target grayscale matrix 16. The first gray scale array 12 represents the current gray scale, the second gray scale array 14 represents the converted gray scale, and the target gray scale matrix 16 records the drive voltage required from the current gray scale to • the conversion gray scale. For example, if a pixel is to be converted from gray scale 4 to gray scale 5, the code of the driving voltage is obtained by the target matrix 16 in the overdrive voltage lookup table. In other words, when the pixel is to be changed from the gray level 4 to the gray level $, the liquid crystal display adjusts the electric field intensity applied to the liquid crystal from the electric field intensity corresponding to the gray level 4 to the electric field intensity corresponding to the gray level 7. Instead of applying an electric field strength corresponding to the gray scale 5, the application of the electric field is stopped when the gray level of the pixel reaches 5, so that the gray scale of the pixel can quickly reach 5. Similarly, when a pixel is to be changed from gray level 6 to gray level _ 3 day, the code of the driving voltage is 0 by the target matrix 过^ in the overdrive voltage lookup table. Therefore, the gray level is changed via the gray level 〇 During the process, the pixel can quickly reach the state of grayscale 3. The overdrive voltage technology can shorten the reaction time of the liquid crystal display and reduce the motion blur of the image. However, when the overdrive voltage is too large, the nighttime redundancy curve will overshoot (〇versh) 〇〇ting/Undersh〇〇ting) The feeling ~ A ' also differs in the brightness of the pixel in reaching the target, the liquid crystal can not stop rotating, the image on the display panel will have a very obvious side effect (2008 effect) (200839703 &gt ; .= The image f of the image, so the overdrive _ pressure can get faster reaction time, but it does not make the image of the liquid crystal display better. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a method for adjusting an overdrive voltage of a liquid crystal display, comprising setting a target value of the liquid crystal display n to achieve a reaction time by an overdrive voltage; and achieving a reaction time according to the overdrive voltage.

The system 2A includes a display panel 22, a measuring device 24, a dynamic image evaluating device 26, and a driving circuit 28. First, the driving circuit 28 drives the display panel 22 with a preset overdrive voltage lookup table (LUT). The preset overdrive voltage lookup table is generated according to the preset reaction time of the display panel 22. Next, the measuring device 24 starts measuring the motion picture response time (Moment Picture Response Time, MPRT) of the φ panel 22, and the dynamic image response time of each gray scale conversion of the display device 24 And then transmitted to the motion image evaluation device 26 for data analysis to obtain an oversh〇oting/undersh〇〇ting width, a blur edge width (Blur_EdgeWidth, BEW), and a color difference performance (Color Difference Performance) ). The dynamic image evaluation device 26 adjusts the target value of the display panel 22 to reach the reaction time by the overdrive voltage according to the overshoot width of each gray scale conversion and the normalized blur edge width (N〇rmaHzed ^ Bkll " EdgeWidth, NBEW ) to obtain each A gray scale converted drive voltage produces a new overdrive voltage lookup table and is uploaded to drive circuit 28. The drive circuit 28 drives the display panel 22 with a new overdrive voltage lookup table, repeating the above described measurement process to update the overdrive voltage lookup table' to finally obtain an optimized overdrive voltage lookup table. Referring to Figure 4, Figure 4 is a plot of the reaction time for grayscale transitions. The driving voltage of each grayscale vanguard is represented by a code. Each grayscale has a reaction time diagram of grayscale conversion, in which the ordinate is brightness and the abscissa is 9 200839703 time (ms). For example, Fig. 4 is a relationship diagram of the reaction time of the gray scale conversion of the gray scale 184. When the gray scale is converted from the gray scale 184 to the gray scale 208, it takes about 28 ms to reach the target brightness, assuming that the display panel 22 is preset. The target value of the reaction time to reach the reaction time is 22 ms. At this time, it is necessary to use the overdrive voltage to speed up the reaction time. As can be seen from the figure, the reaction time of 22 ms and the target brightness of the gray scale 208 intersect the curve of the gray scale 216. Therefore, the code for the drive voltage converted from the gray scale 184 to the gray scale 208 is 216' recorded in the overdrive voltage lookup table, indicating that the gray scale 216 is used to convert the gray scale 184 to the gray scale 208, and so on. Up to each gray level, the driving circuit 28 can generate the overdrive voltage lookup table to drive the display panel 22 according to the preset value of the reaction time to be reached by the overdriving voltage according to the preset of the display panel 22. 5 is a schematic diagram of the overshoot width and the blurred edge width. In the embodiment, the measuring device 24 can measure the dynamic image response time of each grayscale conversion of the display panel 22, and then transmit to The memory of the dynamic image evaluation device 26 performs data analysis. The processing unit of the dynamic image evaluation device 26 can obtain the overshoot width OSW/USW and the blurred edge of the plurality of gray scale conversions from the data of the dynamic image reaction time of each gray scale conversion. Width BEW. The blur edge width BEW is the width of the brightness variation of the plurality of pixels from 10% to 9〇%. The normalized blur edge width NBEW can be used to evaluate the dynamic blur of the image (m〇ti〇nblur). Fuzzy edge = = blurred edge width / rate, where rate = number of pixels / frame rate is basically, the faster the response time of the display panel 22, the displayed image is less ambiguous. The smaller the reaction time, the larger the overdrive voltage is needed, but when the overdrive voltage is too large, a large overshoot will be obtained. 200839703 Visibility ww/usw 'this day' 22 ± image plate will be apparent boundary effects Udeeffect) affect the quality of the image, this time should be provided later

In addition, the smooth image evaluation device 26 can analyze the dynamic image of the display panel 22, take the Wei, and the chromatic aberration can also be used to evaluate the boundary effect of the display panel 22. Therefore, according to the system (4), it is difficult to find a balance point between the dynamic blur and the boundary effect for the image of the liquid crystal display without per-gray conversion of the liquid crystal display.

The relationship diagram is set to be obtained by the known value of the overdrive voltage reaching the reaction time of 12 ms. The target value of the set of gray scale transitions to reach the reaction time by the overdrive voltage is determined according to the measured overshoot width and the normalized fuzzy edge width, and the drive circuit 28 is preset to overdrive voltage.
