Abstract

A liquid crystal display device is provided with a timing control unit to control the brightness of a backlight. The timing control unit divides the data for the respective RGB colors into three or more gray scale groups, counts the number of the data for the respective RGB colors in each gray scale group per one picture frame, comparing the counted numbers with each other, and outputs the brightness control signals to the backlight driving unit depending upon the compared values. The timing control unit applies high driving voltages to the backlight driving unit to increase the brightness of the backlight when the compared values per one picture frame are in the high gray scale level, and applies normal driving voltages to the backlight driving unit to keep the brightness of the backlight to be in a normal state when the compared values per one picture frame are in the low gray scale level. That is, in the case of the display screens locally intensified at the high gray scale (or requiring high contrast ratio), or the display screens bearing wholly the high gray scale (or requiring high brightness), the brightness of the backlight is increased. In the reverse case, the brightness of the backlight is kept to be in a normal state. In this way, the desired high contrast ratio is obtained.

INSTRUCTION DESCRIPTION (1) BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display device and a method of driving the same, and more particularly to a liquid crystal display device having an adaptive brightness enhancer function for display The image adapts to the brightness of the backlight. (b) Description of the Related Art In the cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) which is used as an illumination source for liquid crystal display devices, the brightness system is inversely proportional to the service life. In other words, when the high current is driven to increase the brightness, the life of the CCFL is shortened. Conversely, as low power, the brightness is reduced when the drive is extended for a longer life. However, the high brightness and the use of both features are important factors in the practical application of liquid crystal display devices. - In order to cope with such a demand, a technique of widening the luminance characteristics of a display device and using an effective range has been proposed. The normal display screen is driven by the normal brightness 'but the high current is temporarily applied to the backlight when the display surface particularly requires high brightness. At the same time, in the liquid crystal display device, the amount of current driven by the device is changed depending on the image to be displayed. For example, in the normal white mode, where the liquid crystal molecules are redirected in the direction of the electric field under the condition that the voltage is applied and the light is incident thereon, the more the number of bright pixels is, the power consumption of the device is reduced; but the number of dark pixels The more the device, the higher the power consumption of the device. Considering this feature, it has been proposed that the current value of the backlight should be determined according to the power consumption of the device. However, this technique involves a problem in that additional circuitry is required to detect the power consumption of the device and to change the detection value so that it is suitable for backlighting the inverter.

The second adding unit 203 receives the number of low grayscale data of the individual rGB colors, adds the received data number of each frame, and sends the sum to the comparator 240. Comparator 240 compares the number of data received by individual high grayscale RGB colors with the number of individual data per frame of low grayscale RGB colors. When the number of data of the high grayscale RGB color is relatively larger than the number of data of the individual low grayscale RGB colors, the comparator 240 outputs the brightness control signal 241 to the backlight driving unit 500, so the backlight driving unit 5 〇〇 Apply a high driving voltage to the backlight 1 20 俾 to increase the brightness. In contrast, the comparator 24 outputs the brightness control signal 241 to the backlight driving unit 50, so that the backlight driving unit 5 applies a normal driving voltage to the backlight 1 2 to maintain the brightness in a normal state. . When a normal driving voltage is applied, the comparator 24 输出 also outputs the brightness control signal 2 4 1 to the memory control unit 2 5 〇, so the gray scale of the low gray scale data is further reduced to compensate for the increase in backlight brightness. €Recall control unit 2 5 0 receives from the graphics controller (not shown)

Individual RGB data of the invention (9), and send it to the SRAM unit 260. For example, in the case of displaying image data of a predetermined range, the memory control unit 25 extracts lower grayscale RGB data R', G', and B from the ROM 2 5 5 and outputs the same to the SRAM unit 260 to compensate for the brightness of the backlight 120. The rise. The ROM 255 used as a look-up table lut can be installed on the outside or inside of the a-day control of the early 20th. The SRAM cell 260 includes a first SRAM 261 to store R data from the memory control unit 250, a second SRAM 264 to store G data, and a third SRAM 266 to store B data. SRAM unit 260 receives the lower grayscale RGB data R, G, and B from memory control unit 250, and sends the adapted RGB data RA, GA, and BA to data driver 4. When the brightness control signal 241 from the comparator 240 is tied to the low gray level, the memory control unit 250 outputs the brightness control signal 251 to the gray level voltage generator 600, so the gray of the low gray level data The gradation further reduces the increase in brightness of the compensated backlight. The ash white voltage generator 600 is synchronized with the R from the external graphics controller (the number of elements of the JB data is synchronized to generate the gray scale voltage, and the voltage is applied to the data drive benefit 400. The gate driver 30 0 opens the path for guidance The data from the data driver = 0 to the pixel.

INSTRUCTIONS (10) When the board is 11 0, the data driver 4 〇 〇 selects the relevant voltage of the individual data and transmits the data to the liquid crystal display panel 1 1 〇. As described above, when the backlight of the liquid crystal display device is driven, when the screen has a high gray scale enhancement (or a high contrast ratio is required), or when it is required to display a screen with all high gray scales (or high brightness), the backlight brightness Increase. In the opposite case, the backlight brightness is maintained in a normal state. In this way, the contrast ratio can be increased. Figure 2 is a line graph showing the number of data in grayscale. As shown in Figure 2, the grayscale distribution of the image is easy to calculate, calculated by counting the number of data with a predetermined grayscale (for example, 4 5 / 6 4 ) or more and counting with another gray scale (for example, 32 /64) or the following number of materials and compare them. The 45/64 gray scale and the 32/64 gray scale indicate that when the gamma value is 2, the brightness is compared with the highest luminance of 1/2 and 1/4. 3 is a flow chart showing the brightness control step of the liquid crystal display device shown in FIG. 1 as an example, when the number of data with gray scale 45/64 or more is 5% or more, or 3% or more, and the ratio is When the number of grayscale 32/64 or more is more than ten times or more, the brightness of the backlight is increased and the gray level of the low gray level is further decreased. As shown in FIG. 3, the gray scale data of the related image is divided into an array, and each count is counted. The number of grayscale data for the group (S1 00). Group A covers data with grayscale 45/64 or negative, Group B covers data with grayscale in the range of 4 5 / 6 4 to 3 2 / 6 4, and Group C covers data with grayscale 3 2 / 6 4 or below. . It is then checked whether A/(A + B + C) exceeds 0.08 and C/A exceeds 5 (S20 0 ). If yes, the backlight lamp current or switch operation ratio is fully controlled.

第15頁 1289695 五、發明說明(11) 白亮度為3 0 0尼特或濁/平方米(S2 1 〇 ),且低灰階資料之灰 階度變得更進一步降低(S 2 2 0 )。 於S2 0 0未滿足前述條件之情況下,查驗a/(a + B + C)是否 超過0.05以及C/A是否超過i〇(s30 0 )。若是,則背光燈電 流或開關工作比控制成全白亮度為4 5 0尼特(S 3 1 0 ),以及 低灰階資料之灰階度更進一步降低(S320 )。Page 15 1289695 V. Description of invention (11) White brightness is 300 nits or turbidity/square meter (S2 1 〇), and the gray scale of low gray scale data becomes further reduced (S 2 2 0 ) . In the case where S2 0 0 does not satisfy the above conditions, it is checked whether a/(a + B + C) exceeds 0.05 and C/A exceeds i 〇 (s30 0 ). If so, the backlight current or switching operation ratio is controlled to a full white luminance of 450 nits (S 3 1 0 ), and the gray scale of the low gray scale data is further lowered (S320).

於前述S30 0之條件未滿足之情況下,查驗a/(A + B + C)是 否超過0.03以及C/A是否超過20(S4 00 )。若是,則背光燈 電流或開關工作比控制成全白亮度為60 0尼特(S41 0),以 及低灰階資料之灰階度更進一步降低(S420 )。 於前述S40 0之條件未滿足之情況下,背光燈電流或開關 工作比控制成全白亮度為2 0 0尼特(S510),以及低灰階資 料之灰階度更進一步降低(S 5 2 0 )。 如前述,相關圖像之灰階資料平分成帶有灰階45/64或 以上之A組,帶有灰階於45/64至3 2 /64範圍之B組以及帶有 灰階32/64或以下之C組且計數各組的灰階數目。三組的灰 階資料數目彼此比較,背光亮度係依據比較結果控制。In the case where the condition of the above S30 0 is not satisfied, it is checked whether a/(A + B + C) exceeds 0.03 and whether C/A exceeds 20 (S4 00 ). If so, the backlight current or switching operation ratio is controlled to a full white luminance of 60 nits (S41 0), and the gray scale of the low gray scale data is further lowered (S420). In the case that the condition of the foregoing S40 0 is not satisfied, the backlight current or the switching operation ratio is controlled to have a full white luminance of 200 nits (S510), and the gray scale of the low gray scale data is further lowered (S 5 2 0 ). As mentioned above, the grayscale data of the relevant image is divided into Group A with grayscale 45/64 or above, Group B with grayscale in the range of 45/64 to 3 2 /64 and with grayscale 32/64 Or Group C below and count the number of gray levels for each group. The number of grayscale data of the three groups is compared with each other, and the backlight brightness is controlled according to the comparison result.

實際液晶顯示面板中,當背光亮度增高時,帶有低灰階 之像素亮度也同時提高。因此低灰階之灰階度須進一步下 降俾維持如同背光亮度未增高之例的相等亮度。唯有採用 此種補償,才可實際拓寬背光之動態範圍。 圖4為線圖說明於調整前或後’亮度變化呈灰階之函 數。圖中說明背光亮度分別調整至2 0 0尼特以及4 5 0尼特面 板亮度。In the actual liquid crystal display panel, when the brightness of the backlight is increased, the brightness of the pixel with a low gray level is also improved. Therefore, the gray scale of the low gray scale must be further lowered to maintain the same brightness as in the case where the backlight brightness is not increased. Only with this kind of compensation can the actual dynamic range of the backlight be fully expanded. Figure 4 is a line graph illustrating the function of grayscale changes in brightness before or after adjustment. The figure shows that the backlight brightness is adjusted to 200 nits and 450 nit panel brightness, respectively.

Invention Description (12) ^ --------- As shown in Figure 4, although the backlight brightness is thumb. 9-direction, but maintain normal in low gray level. Figure 5 is a line graph showing the brightness as the back is as shown in Figure 5. The bright part becomes more A hr tt X Θ正七^ is the moon 売 ' while maintaining the dark part of the same The shell degree can significantly increase the contrast ratio of the image display. In other words, the contrast ratio of 20 nits is 35 〇 _ 4 〇〇 : 丨, but the effective contrast ratio of 奋 显示 昼 is about J 〇 〇 i : i. If you don't have a simple stomach. The I5 injury image data is enhanced by high gray level, and most of the image data is enhanced by low f-order. The brightness of the backlight is required to increase the image of the southerly gray image in a significant way. At the same time, the low-gray image resource: the degree of step-down is reduced to compensate for the increase in backlight brightness. Conversely, in the case where the gray scale of the image data is evenly distributed, the Rayleigh is consumed from the brightness. There is no need to increase the brightness control signal to the backlight drive unit by simply operating the digital data. No separate circuit is required and no additional manufacturing cost is involved. 0 As explained above, first check the RGB of each frame. The gray level voltage level of the data and the brightness based on the gray level voltage level. In the case of high brightness levels, the backlight brightness is controlled to a higher brightness level than the normal brightness of t匕. Conversely, in the case of low-brightness levels, the backlight brightness is maintained at the normal brightness while the gray level of the low-gradation data is further lowered, thus increasing the contrast ratio. In other words, the high-gray scale enhancement (or high contrast ratio) is displayed locally, or the display screen has a high gray level (or high brightness), and the backlight is increased. In the opposite case, the backlight brightness is maintained in a normal state.
