Description

液晶顯示器及其驅動方法Liquid crystal display and driving method thereof

本發明係關於一種液晶顯示器及其驅動方法。The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display and a method of driving the same.

液晶顯示器因其具有重量輕、體積小及耗電少等優點,廣泛應用於電視、筆記本、電腦、行動電話、個人數位助理等現代化資訊設備。惟,液晶係具有黏滯性之物質,因而液晶顯示器之響應時間一般較長,且由於通常液晶顯示裝置係採用穩態(Hold Type)之驅動方式,因此當其用於動態顯示時,容易因為反應速度不足而造成殘影現象,影響動態影像品質。Due to its light weight, small size and low power consumption, liquid crystal displays are widely used in modern information equipment such as televisions, notebooks, computers, mobile phones, and personal digital assistants. However, since the liquid crystal system has a viscous substance, the response time of the liquid crystal display is generally long, and since the liquid crystal display device generally adopts a "Hold Type" driving method, when it is used for dynamic display, it is easy because Insufficient reaction speed causes image sticking and affects the quality of dynamic images.

一種用於解決液晶顯示器動態顯示時殘影現象之方法稱為動態脈衝驅動(Dynamic impulsive driving),亦稱動態插灰(Super Impulse)技術,其係將一幀畫面分成一第一子幀(Sub-frame)及一第二子幀,使該第一子幀之畫面亮度高於該幀畫面之目標亮度,該第二子幀之畫面亮度低於該幀畫面之目標亮度,而該二子幀之總亮度與目標亮度相等。由於該第一子幀與第二子幀之畫面一亮一暗,使得幀與幀之間之灰階變化比較明顯,進而在一定程度上改善動態畫面之殘影現象,提高液晶顯示器在動態畫面顯示時之顯示效果。A method for solving the image sticking phenomenon during dynamic display of a liquid crystal display is called Dynamic Impulsive Driving, which is also called Super Impulse technology, which divides a frame into a first sub-frame (Sub). -frame) and a second sub-frame, the picture brightness of the first sub-frame is higher than the target brightness of the frame picture, the picture brightness of the second sub-frame is lower than the target brightness of the frame picture, and the two sub-frames The total brightness is equal to the target brightness. Since the first sub-frame and the second sub-frame are bright and dark, the gray-scale change between the frame and the frame is relatively obvious, thereby improving the image sticking phenomenon of the dynamic picture to a certain extent, and improving the dynamic display of the liquid crystal display. The effect of the time.

惟,上述動態插灰技術僅係藉由使幀與幀之間之灰階變化比較明顯來改善殘影現象,其實質上並沒有提高液晶分子之響應速度,從而液晶分子在限定時間內可能無法扭 轉至目標灰階,亦無法達到目標亮度,導致液晶顯示器仍然出現殘影現象,影響顯示品質。However, the above dynamic gray insertion technique only improves the image sticking phenomenon by making the gray scale change between the frame and the frame relatively obvious, which does not substantially improve the response speed of the liquid crystal molecules, so that the liquid crystal molecules may not be able to be in a limited time. Twist Going to the target gray level, the target brightness cannot be achieved, which causes the liquid crystal display to still have image sticking, which affects the display quality.

The overdrive processor 40 includes a buffer 41, a first lookup table (LUT) 43, and a second lookup table 45.

該緩衝器41預先存儲第n-1幀之圖像資料(n為自然數,第n-1幀代表前一幀,第n幀代表當前幀;當n=1時,該緩衝器存儲一初始資料),並於輸出該將第n-1幀之圖像資料後一段時間將其存儲內容更新為第n幀之圖像資料。The buffer 41 pre-stores the image data of the n-1th frame (n is a natural number, the n-1th frame represents the previous frame, and the nth frame represents the current frame; when n=1, the buffer stores an initial Data), and after outputting the image data of the n-1th frame, update its storage content to the image data of the nth frame for a while.

該第一查詢表43包括第n-1幀之圖像資料與第n幀之第一子幀插值資料所對應之第n幀之第一子幀過驅動灰階。該第n-1幀之圖像資料為第n幀之起始灰階,第n幀之第一子幀插值資料為第n幀之目標灰階,該第n幀之第一子幀過驅動灰階即為自該起始灰階到達該目標灰階所需之過驅動灰階。The first lookup table 43 includes the first subframe overdrive grayscale of the nth frame corresponding to the image data of the n-1th frame and the first subframe interpolation data of the nth frame.

具體而言,該第一查詢表43及第二查詢表45中之過驅動灰階係根據起始灰階及目標灰階並藉由一種動態圖像響應時間(Motion Picture Response Time,MPRT)算法所得到最佳過驅動灰階。該動態圖像響應時間算法中包括二參數,該二參數分別為邊緣殘影時間BET(Blur Edge Time)及過驅動程度Povershoot 。該邊緣殘影時間BET代表施加一過驅動灰階後所測得之畫面出現殘影之時間,通常過驅動灰階越大,畫面之邊緣殘影時間BET越少,殘影之改善越大。該過驅動程度Povershoot 代表施加一過驅動灰階所測得之畫面抖動及閃爍程度,通常過驅動灰階越大,過驅動程度Povershoot 越大,畫面抖動及閃爍程度越大,一般認為,該過驅動程度Povershoot 小於一設定值(如:103%,可根據實際情況定義)時,該畫面抖動及閃爍程度在人眼可接受之範圍內。其中,該過驅動程度Povershoot之計算公式如下: Specifically, the overdrive grayscales in the first lookup table 43 and the second lookup table 45 are based on the initial grayscale and the target grayscale and are subjected to a Motion Picture Response Time (MPRT) algorithm. The best overdrive gray scale is obtained. The dynamic image response time algorithm includes two parameters, namely, edge residual time BET (Blur Edge Time) and overdrive degree P overshoot . The edge afterimage time BET represents the time when the residual image is detected on the screen after the driving gray scale is applied. Generally, the larger the gray scale of the overdrive, the less the residual image time BET of the image, and the greater the improvement of the residual image. The overdrive degree P overshoot represents the degree of image jitter and flicker measured by applying an overdrive gray scale. Generally, the larger the overdrive gray scale, the larger the overdrive degree P overshoot, the greater the jitter and flicker of the screen. It is generally considered that When the overdrive degree P overshoot is less than a set value (for example, 103%, which can be defined according to actual conditions), the jitter and flicker of the screen are within the acceptable range of the human eye. Among them, the calculation formula of the overdrive degree Povershoot is as follows:

其中,Linit 代表施加一過驅動灰階前之畫面起始亮度;Ltarg 代表施加該過驅動灰階所要達到之畫面目標亮度;Lovershoot 代表該過驅動灰階驅動下畫面發生抖動及閃 爍時之最大或最小亮度。根據起始灰階及目標灰階並藉由該動態圖像響應時間算法,選擇最佳之過驅動灰階之方法具體如下:根據起始灰階及目標灰階,提供不同之過驅動灰階;計算不同過驅動灰階所對應之畫面之邊緣殘影時間BET及過驅動程度Povershoot ;在過驅動程度Povershoot 小於該設定值(如:103%)之情況下,選擇邊緣殘影時間BET最少之過驅動灰階為最佳過驅動灰階。該第一查詢表43及該第二查詢表45中所有的過驅動灰階均是藉由該動態圖像響應時間算法得到。Wherein, L init represents the initial brightness of the picture before the application of the gray scale is applied; L targ represents the target brightness of the picture to be achieved by applying the overdrive gray level; L overshoot represents the jitter and flicker of the picture when the overdrive gray scale is driven The maximum or minimum brightness. According to the initial gray scale and the target gray scale and by the dynamic image response time algorithm, the method for selecting the best overdrive gray scale is as follows: according to the initial gray scale and the target gray scale, different overdrive gray scales are provided. Calculate the edge afterimage time BET and overdrive degree P overshoot of the screen corresponding to different overdrive gray scales; select the edge afterimage time BET if the overdrive degree P overshoot is less than the set value (eg: 103%) The least overdrive grayscale is the best overdrive grayscale. All overdrive gray levels in the first lookup table 43 and the second lookup table 45 are obtained by the dynamic image response time algorithm.

The interpolation processor 50 receives the image data of the nth frame, and performs black insertion or gray insertion processing on the image data of the nth frame according to the grayscale size of the image data of the nth frame.

具體而言,當該第n幀之圖像資料之灰階小於或等於一預定值(如160灰階)時,該插黑處理器53對該第n幀之圖像資料進行插黑處理並輸出第n幀之第一子幀插值資料及第二子幀插值資料,其中,該第n幀之第一子幀插值資料之灰階高於該第n幀之圖像資料之灰階,該第n幀之第二子幀插值資料為黑畫面資料。例如:當該第n幀之圖像資料之灰階為100灰階時,該插黑處理器53輸出之第一、第二子幀插值資料分別為170及0灰階。Specifically, when the gray level of the image data of the nth frame is less than or equal to a predetermined value (such as 160 gray scale), the black insertion processor 53 performs black insertion processing on the image data of the nth frame.

For example, when the gray level of the image data of the nth frame is 100 gray scale, the first and second subframe interpolation data output by the black insertion processor 53 are respectively 170 and 0 gray scales.

當該第n幀之圖像資料之灰階大於該預定值時,該插灰處理器55對該第n幀之圖像資料進行動態插灰處理,並輸出該第n幀之第一子幀插值資料及第二子幀插值資料。其中,該第n幀之第一子幀插值資料之灰階大於該第n幀之圖像資料之灰階,該第n幀之第二子幀插值資料之灰階小於該第n幀之圖像資料之灰階,該第一、第二子幀之灰階總和基本等於該目標灰階之二倍。例如:當該第n幀之圖像資料之灰階為200灰階時,該插灰處理器55輸出之第一、第二子幀插值資料分別為220及180灰階。When the gray level of the image data of the nth frame is greater than the predetermined value, the gray insertion processor 55 performs dynamic gray insertion processing on the image data of the nth frame, and outputs the first subframe of the nth frame. Interpolation data and second sub-frame interpolation data.

請一併參閱圖2,係該液晶顯示器之訊號波形圖。該第n幀(Frame)時間被劃分為相等的一第一子幀時間T1及一第二子幀時間T2。在該第一子幀時間T1內,該掃描驅動電路20依次施加掃描訊號至每一列掃描線11,該掃描脈衝訊號作用期間,與該掃描線11相連接之一列薄膜電晶體151導通。同時該資料驅動電路30藉由該資料線13將該複數第一子幀過驅動灰階電壓施加至對應之薄膜電晶體151之源極,並藉由該薄膜電晶體151之汲極傳送至該畫 素電極153,使得該列之液晶電容157處於充電狀態,且充電完成後該液晶電容157在該第一子幀時間T1中保持該第一子幀過驅動灰階電壓。由於該公共電極155之電壓係一穩定之公共電壓,而該畫素電極153之第一子幀過驅動電壓大於或小於該第一子幀插值資料對應之灰階電壓,則該公共電極155與畫素電極153之間(即該液晶電容157)之電壓差使得液晶分子響應速度加快而在指定時間內達到該第一子幀插值資料對應之灰階(即目標灰階)。Please refer to FIG. 2 together for the signal waveform diagram of the liquid crystal display. The nth frame time is divided into an equal first subframe time T1 and a second subframe time T2. During the first sub-frame time T1, the scan driving circuit 20 sequentially applies a scan signal to each column of scan lines 11. During the period of the scan pulse signal, a row of thin film transistors 151 connected to the scan line 11 is turned on. At the same time, the data driving circuit 30 applies the plurality of first sub-frame overdrive gray scale voltages to the source of the corresponding thin film transistor 151 by the data line 13, and transmits the drain through the thin film transistor 151 to the source. painting The element electrode 153 is such that the liquid crystal capacitor 157 of the column is in a charging state, and after the charging is completed, the liquid crystal capacitor 157 maintains the first sub-frame overdrive gray scale voltage in the first sub-frame time T1. Since the voltage of the common electrode 155 is a stable common voltage, and the first sub-frame overdrive voltage of the pixel electrode 153 is greater than or less than the gray scale voltage corresponding to the first sub-frame interpolation data, the common electrode 155 is The voltage difference between the pixel electrodes 153 (ie, the liquid crystal capacitor 157) causes the response speed of the liquid crystal molecules to increase and reaches the gray level corresponding to the first sub-frame interpolation data (ie, the target gray level) within a specified time.

當該掃描脈衝訊號施加至最後一掃描線11之後,進入第二子幀時間T2。在該第二子幀時間T2中,該掃描驅動電路20連續產生複數掃描脈衝訊號,並依次施加至每一掃描線11。該掃描脈衝訊號作用期間,與該掃描線11相連接之一列薄膜電晶體151導通。同時該資料驅動電路30藉由該資料線13將該複數第二子幀過驅動灰階電壓施加至對應之薄膜電晶體151之源極,並藉由該薄膜電晶體151之汲極傳送至該畫素電極153,使得該列之液晶電容157處於充電狀態,且充電完成後該液晶電容157在該第二子幀時間T2中保持該第二子幀過驅動灰階電壓。當該掃描脈衝訊號施加至最後一掃描線11之後,該液晶顯示器1完成該第n幀畫面之顯示。同理,因該公共電極155之電壓穩定,而該畫素電極153之第二子幀過驅動電壓大於或小於該第二子幀插值資料對應之灰階電壓,則該液晶電容157之電壓差使得液晶分子響應速度加快而在指定時間內達到該第二子幀插值資料對應之灰階(即目標灰階)。After the scan pulse signal is applied to the last scan line 11, the second sub-frame time T2 is entered. In the second sub-frame time T2, the scan driving circuit 20 continuously generates a plurality of scan pulse signals and sequentially applies to each of the scan lines 11. During the operation of the scan pulse signal, a row of thin film transistors 151 connected to the scan line 11 is turned on. At the same time, the data driving circuit 30 applies the second sub-frame overdrive gray scale voltage to the source of the corresponding thin film transistor 151 by the data line 13, and transmits the drain through the thin film transistor 151 to the source. The pixel electrode 153 is such that the liquid crystal capacitor 157 of the column is in a charging state, and after the charging is completed, the liquid crystal capacitor 157 maintains the second sub-frame overdrive gray scale voltage in the second sub-frame time T2. After the scan pulse signal is applied to the last scan line 11, the liquid crystal display 1 completes the display of the nth frame picture. Similarly, since the voltage of the common electrode 155 is stable, and the second sub-frame driving voltage of the pixel electrode 153 is greater than or less than the gray-scale voltage corresponding to the second sub-frame interpolation data, the voltage difference of the liquid crystal capacitor 157 The response speed of the liquid crystal molecules is increased to reach the gray level corresponding to the second sub-frame interpolation data (ie, the target gray level) within a specified time.

The first sub-frame is driven by the gray-scale voltage to quickly respond to display a normal picture; and during the second sub-frame time T2, the pixel unit 15 will overdrive the gray-scale voltage in the second sub-frame. Driven, it responds quickly and displays a black screen. If the interpolation processor 50 performs gray insertion processing on the image data of the nth frame according to the gray insertion processor 55, the pixel unit 15 will be in the first subframe in the first subframe time T1. Driven by the overdrive gray scale voltage, a high luminance picture higher than the target gray level of the nth frame is displayed; and during the second subframe time T2, the pixel unit 15 will overdrive the gray in the second subframe Driven by the step voltage, a low-brightness picture lower than the target gray level of the nth frame is displayed, but the total brightness of the nth frame picture is guaranteed to be unchanged.
