Description

Beschreibungdescription
Anordnung mit einer AnzeigeeinheitArrangement with a display unit
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung mit einer Anzeige¬ einheit zur Darstellung eines Bildes.The invention relates to an arrangement with a display unit for displaying an image.
Um in hellen Räumen den Kontrast eines auf einem mit einer Kathodenstrahlröhre versehenen Monitor dargestellten Bildes zu verbessern, verwendet man gewöhnlich für die Kolbenböden von Bildröhren graues Filterglas. Das Filterglas vermindert sowohl eine durch die im Innern der Röhre reflektierten Strahlen verursachte Aufhellung von dunklen Stellen des Bil¬ des als auch eine durch die Raumbeleuchtung bewirkte Aufhei- lung dieser Stellen. Das Filterglas schwächt dabei das Raum¬ licht auf dessen Hin- und Rückweg zweimal, das durch den Strahlstrom erzeugte (gewünschte) Licht dagegen nur einmal.In order to improve the contrast of an image displayed on a monitor provided with a cathode ray tube in bright rooms, gray filter glass is usually used for the piston crowns of image tubes. The filter glass reduces both a brightening of dark areas of the image caused by the rays reflected in the interior of the tube and a heating up of these areas caused by room lighting. The filter glass weakens the room light on its way there and back twice, the (desired) light generated by the beam current, however, only once.
In gut abgedunkelten Räumen ist der Kontrast wegen des feh- lenden Umgebungslichtes optimal. Dort ist es allerdings sinn¬ voll, auf das Filterglas zu verzichten und statt dessen Klar¬ glas einzusetzen, weil das Filterglas auch das auf der Leuchtschicht des Kolbenbodens entstehende (gewünschte) Licht schwächt. Die LichtSchwächung kann man zwar in Röhren mit Filterglas durch einen größeren Strahlstrom ausgleichen, dies wirkt sich allerdings nachteilig auf die Bildschärfe aus.In well darkened rooms, the contrast is optimal due to the lack of ambient light. There, however, it makes sense to dispense with the filter glass and to use clear glass instead, because the filter glass also weakens the (desired) light which arises on the luminescent layer of the piston head. The attenuation of light in tubes with filter glass can be compensated for by a larger beam current, but this has a disadvantageous effect on the image sharpness.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Anordnung mit einer Anzeigeeinheit der eingangs genannten Art mit einem vom Umgebungslicht unabhängigen guten Kontrast an¬ zugeben.The present invention has for its object to provide an arrangement with a display unit of the type mentioned with a good contrast independent of the ambient light.
Diese Aufgabe wird in einer Anordnung der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, daß im Bildbereich der Anzeigeeinheit ein elektrochromes Mittel angeordnet ist, dessen Lichtdurchläs¬ sigkeit in Abhängigkeit der Umgebungshelligkeit über Steuer¬ mittel einstellbar ist. Die Lichtdurchlässigkeit von sogenannten elektrochromen Glä¬ sern (z. B. aus Wolframtrioxyd) läßt sich durch eine elek¬ trische Spannung an einer elektrochromen Schicht des Glases beeinflussen. Dadurch läßt sich einerseits in dunklen Räumen die Lichtdurchlässigkeit z. B. einer Kathodenstrahlröhre er¬ höhen, um eine hohe Bildschärfe (Auflösung) bei einem einge¬ stellten Kontrast zu erzielen, und andererseits in hellen Räumen die Lichtdurchlässigkeit vermindern, um diesen einge¬ stellten Kontrast bei verminderter Bildschärfe im wesent- liehen unverändert zu lassen.This object is achieved in an arrangement of the type mentioned at the outset in that an electrochromic means is arranged in the image area of the display unit, the light transmission of which can be set as a function of the ambient brightness via control means. The light transmittance of so-called electrochromic glasses (eg made of tungsten trioxide) can be influenced by an electrical voltage on an electrochromic layer of the glass. This allows on the one hand in dark rooms the light transmission z. B. increase a cathode ray tube in order to achieve high image sharpness (resolution) with a set contrast, and on the other hand reduce the light transmission in bright rooms in order to leave this set contrast substantially unchanged with reduced image sharpness.
Eine elektrochro e Vorrichtung ist aus dem Produktblatt "ECD Light Modulator" der Firma Nikon bekannt. Zwischen zwei Glas¬ scheiben sind dort zwei Elektroden zum Anlegen einer Spannung vorgesehen, wobei eine elektrochrome Schicht zwischen denAn electrochro e device is known from the product sheet "ECD Light Modulator" from Nikon. Two electrodes for applying a voltage are provided between two glass panes, an electrochromic layer between the
Elektroden angeordnet ist. In Abhängigkeit der Spannung läßt sich die Lichtdurchlässigkeit der Vorrichtung steuern.Electrodes is arranged. Depending on the voltage, the light transmittance of the device can be controlled.
Vorzugsweise ist das elektrochrome Mittel Bestandteil des Kolbenbodens einer Bildröhre. Um allerdings Bildröhren nach- zurüsten, kann das elektrochrome Mittel am Kolbenboden außer¬ halb des Glaskolbens angeordnet werden.The electrochromic agent is preferably part of the piston crown of a picture tube. However, in order to retrofit picture tubes, the electrochromic means can be arranged on the piston crown outside the glass bulb.
Ein Monitor mit einer Anordnung gemäß der Erfindung ist mit einem Helligkeitssensor versehen, welcher die Umgebungshel- ligkeit erfaßt und einer Steuereinheit zuführt. In Abhängig¬ keit der erfaßten Helligkeit und eines durch einen Bediener voreingestellten Helligkeitsgradschwellwertes steuert die Steuereinheit die Spannung an dem elektrochromen Mittel, wo¬ bei die Lichtdurchlässigkeit derart verändert wird, daß der eingestellte Bildkontrast weitgehend konstant bleibt. Dazu ist der Schwellwert in einem Speicher der Steuereinheit hin¬ terlegt. Erhöht sich der Helligkeitsgrad, z. B. aufgrund von Sonneneinstrahlung, verringert die Steuereinheit die Licht- durchlässigkeit des Kolbenbodens, wodurch der Bildkontrast trotz wechselnder Lichtverhältnisse in der Umgebung des Moni¬ tors weitgehend unverändert bleibt. Entsprechend erhöht die Steuereinheit die Lichtdurchlässigkeit des Kolbenbodens, falls der gespeicherte Schwellwert unterschritten wird. Es ist selbstverständlich möglich, mehrere Schwellwerte bzw. Schwellwertbereiche vorzugeben, um die Lichtdurchlässigkeit der Bildröhre nach Maßgabe der durch den Helligkeitssensor erfaßten Helligkeitsgrade stufenweise zu verändern. Durch ei¬ ne geeignete Wahl der Abstufung wird unabhängig von der Umge¬ bungshelligkeit ein konstanter Bildkontrast erzielt.A monitor with an arrangement according to the invention is provided with a brightness sensor which detects the ambient brightness and feeds it to a control unit. Depending on the detected brightness and a brightness level threshold value preset by an operator, the control unit controls the voltage on the electrochromic means, whereby the light transmittance is changed in such a way that the set image contrast remains largely constant. For this purpose, the threshold value is stored in a memory of the control unit. The degree of brightness increases, e.g. B. due to solar radiation, the control unit reduces the translucency of the piston head, whereby the image contrast remains largely unchanged despite changing light conditions in the vicinity of the monitor. Accordingly, the control unit increases the translucency of the piston crown, if the stored threshold is undershot. It is of course possible to specify a plurality of threshold values or threshold value ranges in order to gradually change the light transmission of the picture tube in accordance with the brightness levels detected by the brightness sensor. Through a suitable choice of gradation, a constant image contrast is achieved regardless of the ambient brightness.
Die Anzeigeeinheit kann als sogenanntes Fiat Panel Display ausgebildet sein. In einer Anordnung mit einem Fiat PanelThe display unit can be designed as a so-called Fiat Panel Display. In an arrangement with a Fiat panel
Display kann durch die einstellbare Lichtdurchlässigkeit des elektrochromen Mittels die Stromaufnahme der Hintergrundlampe des Fiat Panel Display reduziert werden.Display can be reduced by the adjustable light transmission of the electrochromic means, the current consumption of the background lamp of the Fiat Panel Display.
Anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbei- spiels werden die Erfindung, deren Ausgestaltungen sowie Vor¬ teile näher erläutert.The invention, its configurations and advantages are explained in more detail with reference to an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing.
Die Figur zeigt Bestandteile eines Monitors in einer verein- fachten Darstellung.The figure shows components of a monitor in a simplified representation.
Mit 1 ist ein Glaskolben einer Bildröhre mit einem Sockel 2 zum Anschluß an eine elektronische Schaltung, z. B. an einen Videoverstärker, bezeichnet, in dessen Röhrenhals eine Elek- tronenquelle 3 und eine Bündeleinrichtung 4 angeordnet ist. Die Elektronenquelle 3 sendet einen Elektronenstrahl in Rich¬ tung einer LeuchtSchicht 5 einer Glasscheibe 6 des Glas¬ kolbens 1, wobei die Bündeleinrichtung 4 den Elektronenstrahl konzentriert, welcher durch hier nicht dargestellte Ablenk- spulen in horizontaler und vertikaler Richtung abgelenkt wird. Die Elektronen des Elektronenstrahls durchdringen eine leitende Schicht 7, z. B. aus Aluminium, am Kolbenboden, re¬ gen die Leuchtschicht 5 zum Leuchten an und werden schlie߬ lich über die leitende Schicht 7 am trichterförmigen Teil des Glaskolbens 1 zu einem Anodenanschluß 8 abgeleitet. Die rest¬ lichen Elektronen erreichen die Leuchtschicht 5, wodurch auf dieser Schicht ein Leuchtfleck 9 entsteht. Die erste Glasscheibe 6 mit der Leuchtschicht 5, eine zweite Glasscheibe 10 und eine zwischen den Scheiben 6, 10 angeord¬ nete, mit zwei Elektroden 11, 12 versehene elektrochrome Schicht 13 sind Bestandteile des Kolbenbodens. Eine Steuer- einheit 14 führt den Elektroden 11, 12 über Leitungen 15 eine Spannung zu, mit welcher die Steuereinheit 14 die Lichtdurch¬ lässigkeit der elektrochromen Schicht 13 und somit des Kol- benbodens steuert. Um den Bildkontrast unabhängig von dem Umgebungslicht der Röhre weitgehend konstant zu halten, ist in einem hier nicht dargestellten Speicher der Steuereinheit 14 eine Steuer¬ tabelle hinterlegt, welche während des Monitorbetriebs durch die Steuereinheit 14 mit einem geeigneten Steuerprogramm be¬ arbeitet wird. Die Steuertabelle umfaßt mehrere Helligkeits- gradschwellwertbereiche mit zugeordneten SteuerSpannungen. Ein Helligkeitssensor 16 erfaßt den Helligkeitsgrad im Be¬ reich vor dem Kolbenboden des Monitors, welchen der Sensor 16 der Steuereinheit 14 anzeigt. Die Steuereinheit 14 prüft, in welchem Schwellwertbereich der erfaßte Helligkeitsgrad liegt, und führt der elektrochromen Schicht 13 über die Elektroden 11, 12 eine dem ermittelten Bereich zugeordnete Spannung zu. Entsprechend dieser Spannung verändert der Kolbenboden seine Lichtdurchlässigkeit. With 1 is a glass bulb of a picture tube with a base 2 for connection to an electronic circuit, for. B. on a video amplifier, referred to, in the tube neck an electron source 3 and a bundle device 4 is arranged. The electron source 3 sends an electron beam in the direction of a luminescent layer 5 of a glass pane 6 of the glass bulb 1, the bundling device 4 concentrating the electron beam, which is deflected in the horizontal and vertical directions by deflection coils (not shown here). The electrons of the electron beam penetrate a conductive layer 7, e.g. B. made of aluminum, on the piston crown, stimulate the luminescent layer 5 to light up and are finally derived via the conductive layer 7 on the funnel-shaped part of the glass bulb 1 to an anode connection 8. The remaining electrons reach the luminous layer 5, as a result of which a luminous spot 9 is formed on this layer. The first glass pane 6 with the luminous layer 5, a second glass pane 10 and an electrochromic layer 13 arranged between the panes 6, 10 and provided with two electrodes 11, 12 are components of the piston crown. A control unit 14 supplies the electrodes 11, 12 with a voltage via lines 15, with which the control unit 14 controls the light transmission of the electrochromic layer 13 and thus of the piston crown. In order to keep the image contrast largely constant regardless of the ambient light of the tube, a control table is stored in a memory of the control unit 14 (not shown here), which is operated by the control unit 14 with a suitable control program during monitor operation. The control table comprises several brightness level threshold ranges with assigned control voltages. A brightness sensor 16 detects the degree of brightness in the area in front of the piston head of the monitor, which the sensor 16 indicates to the control unit 14. The control unit 14 checks in which threshold value range the detected degree of brightness lies, and supplies the electrochromic layer 13 with a voltage associated with the determined range via the electrodes 11, 12. The piston crown changes its light transmission in accordance with this voltage.
