Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for controlling an image display panel comprising a matrix of light elements 5 each capable of emitting a primary color, method intended to manage the luminance of each of these elements; more precisely, each light element of the panel is located at the intersection of an electrode belonging to a first network and an electrode or a pair of electrodes belonging to another network; the method is suitable for applying between these electrodes voltages adapted to activate or not a light emission at each of these intersections; the invention is particularly applicable to plasma panels.
- the electrodes of the addressing network are parallel and arranged vertically while the electrodes or pairs of electrodes, also parallel, of the other network 15 are arranged horizontally; the vertical electrodes are called column electrodes, the electrodes or pairs of horizontal electrodes are called electrodes or pairs of line electrodes.
- Management of the electrical voltages applied to these electrodes is generally carried out: 0 - for the columns, simultaneously on all of the columns, so that voltage signals specific to each column are sent simultaneously to the columns of the panel; thus, the addressing of the columns is selective since each column receives a signal specific to each addressing sequence.
- a method for controlling an image display panel therefore comprises scanning all of the lines or groups of lines
- the scanning period or frame duration must remain less than or equal to the image refresh period in order to ensure the necessary synchronization with the image source; this refresh period corresponds for example to the scanning of a half screen in the case of the so-called “dual scan” mode in English, corresponds to 20 ms in the classic case in Europe of the so-called “50 Hz” television, and corresponds to 16.6 ms in the classic case in the United States of American television called "60 Hz".
- the sum of the duration of different sub-scans SF 0 , SFj, ..., SF, ..., SF ⁇ . ⁇ must remain less than the refresh period of the image to be displayed; the addressing method must be adapted to be able to address all the sub-scans to all the lines or to all the groups of lines for the duration of a frame; the number and duration of the sub-scans are adapted in a manner known per se to obtain a sufficient number of possible combinations of sub-scans capable of forming a sufficiently precise gradation of luminance and to limit the visualization defects, in particular defects of "false contours".
- the luminance to be displayed by a light element is then coded in a manner known per se into a video word (b 0 , b ..., b j , b n .) Of n bits, the value of each bit b j , 0 or 1, corresponding to the ignition or not of this element during the corresponding sub-scanning SF ⁇ .
- each light element corresponds to a panel discharge cell; for addressing the cells, each sub- line or group of line scanning generally comprises a so-called addressing period T a to activate or not the ignition of the cells, and a so-called hold period T s to keep the cell lit for a predetermined activation time T s specific to underscan, the cell being kept lit only if it was activated during the previous addressing period T a , the relative duration T s of an underscan SFQ is generally called "weight" of the underscan ; with reference to the total duration T SF of a sub-scan, we have: T SF > T a + T s .
- the group of lines addressed simultaneously comprises all the lines of the panel; an advantage of this method is that the sequencing of the addressing signals during the panel addressing period and that of the holding signals during the panel holding period can be independently managed; there is no risk of addressing interference between the lines because the sub-scans follow one another for the entire panel according to the sequences: ..., addressing period T a _ SF ( i) - period of hold T s _ SF ( j) of a sub-scan SF - addressing period T a _sF ( i + i ) - hold period T s _
- AWD Address While Display
- the group of lines addressed simultaneously comprises at most half of the lines of the panel
- the article entitled “Reduction of Data Power Voltage to 20V by using AWD Scheme for ACPDPs”, by M.lshii et al., published on pages 162-165 in the document SID 99 DIGEST describes an addressing process of this type; documents FR 2755281 and EP 1014331 also describe an addressing method of this type; in this process, one can even address separately line by line; according to this method, during the addressing period of a group of lines, periods of maintenance of the other groups of lines take place, which leads to a "tangle" of the periods, hence the name of addressing system "Entangled” given to this process;
- AWD AWD
- the addressing method is in able to address all the sub-scans to all the groups of lines: thus, between the start of the first sub-scan engaged in a frame and the end of the last sub-scan engaged in this same frame, the total elapsed time must not not exceed the duration of a frame.
- ATD ATD method
- the overall time spent on addressing is much shorter than in the first method, which allows d '' proportionally increase the hold time and therefore the overall luminance of the panel; a difficulty for the implementation of this method lies in the sequencing of the addressing periods which must be established so as to avoid any interference between different groups of lines.
- a reduced number of underscans is used: for example, 8;
- the subject of the invention is a method for scanning control signals of light elements arranged at the intersections of column electrodes and row electrodes on a display panel for images from a source,
- the line electrodes being grouped in groups of at least one line and at most half the lines of the panel, line signals are sent successively to each group of lines of said panel,
- each frame comprises a succession of sub-scans
- each subscanning includes a period T a of row and column addressing signals suitable for putting a light element in an activated or non-activated state, followed by a period T s of line holding signals and column adapted to maintain said element in said state, activated or non-activated,
- ST1, ST2, ... comprising g1, g2, ... respectively, sub-scans
- each frame consists of at least one subset chosen from said subsets ST1, ST2, ...
- the invention may also have one or more of the following characteristics: - the number of sub-assemblies is varied during viewing
- the invention also relates to the use of the method according to the invention for adjusting the luminance of said panel.
- the invention can then also have one or more of the following characteristics:
- said luminance adjustment is carried out automatically as a function of the average luminance of the image to be displayed;
- the invention also relates to a plasma display panel comprising a system for implementing this method or for using it.
- the number of luminance coding bits is thus continuously varied as a function of requirements in terms of definition of gray levels, and / or overall luminance of the screen, and / or of image quality; the luminance can thus either be coded in g1, g2, ... bits, or any sum of these digits g1, g2 corresponding to any of the possible combinations of these subsets constituting a frame.
- the circumstances which lead to the change in the number of coding bits may also result from an external command, for example from a luminance adjustment by the user of the panel; they can also result from an internal panel operating process, for example a power management process.
- the invention therefore essentially resides:
- Subframe ST1 bo, bb 2 , b 3 ,
- the luminance bits are addressed in accordance with the order of the sub-frames, by example: first the bits of the subframe ST1 for all the groups of lines, then the bits of the subframe ST2 again for all the groups of lines, finally the bits of the sub-frame ST3 again for all the groups of lines, the order of addressing of the bits can obviously vary from one group of lines to another within the same sub-frame ST1, ST2, or ST3.
- the addressing of the groups of lines is then done by subframes; the addressing of a bit belonging to a new sub-frame does not start until all the addressing periods of all the bits of the previous sub-frame have ended.
- the possible duration of illumination of the light elements of a group of lines is then distributed, that is to say the duration of a frame, no longer over 12 sub-scans but only over the 4 sub-scans of the sub -frame ST1 and the 4 sub-scans of the sub-frame ST2; for a complete frame, the images are then displayed according to the following new sequencing: - during T ' s ⁇ l, all the sub-scans of the sub-frame ST1 are addressed to all the groups of lines,
- T ' ST2 we address all the sub-scans of the sub-frame ST2 to all the groups of lines.
- T's ⁇ TT x P ⁇ s ⁇ / 0 ⁇ s ⁇ + Ts ⁇ 2)
- T ' ST2 T ⁇ x [T ST2 / (T ST1 + T ST2 )],
- the duration of each subscanning is increased by the same factor T " ST1 / T ' ST1 > 1 of the subset ST1 without destroying the coherence of the sequencing specific to the AWD process.
- the invention applies regardless of the number of subframes and also regardless of the number of luminance coding bits, provided that it is high enough so that the frame can be divided into subframes.
- Table I this table indicates the distribution of the sub-scans by sub-frames in accordance with the particular case of FIG. 1, and the maximum duration of each sub-scan b0, b1, ..., b11 for each group of lines 1, 2,. .., 8;
- a plasma panel conventionally comprises two insulating slabs each comprising at least one network of electrodes, one of columns, the other of lines, providing between them a space containing a discharge gas; each luminous element of the panel is formed by a cell positioned between the tiles at each intersection of a column electrode of a tile and an electrode or a pair of row electrodes of the other tile; cells can be separated from each other by barriers; in alternative type plasma panels, the electrode arrays are covered with a dielectric layer adapted to provide a "memory"effect; a protective layer, generally based on MgO, covers the electrode networks, or, where appropriate, the dielectric layers; the cell walls are partially covered with phosphors adapted to emit visible light in the desired primary color under the excitation of a light electrical discharge caused between the electrodes.
- the installation also comprises an electronic system for supplying and addressing the electrodes of the panel, which is known in itself and which will not be described here in detail, except with regard to the elements below relating to the invention.
- the panel control method is adapted in a manner known per se to apply between the electrodes voltage signals adapted to cause or not discharges in each cell, so as to emit or not the phosphors of this cell, that is to say to activate or not the light element; the state, activated or not, of each element of a line or of a group of lines is controlled by sending a suitable signal to the electrode or the electrodes of the corresponding lines and, simultaneously, a suitable signal to the electrode the column at the intersection of which said element is located; in the present case, the lines are grouped in groups of 60 lines so as to obtain a total of 8 groups of lines; we then scan all the groups of lines so as to govern the state of all the elements of the panel; the scanning time must be less than the image refresh period, or frame time; the
- T SF0 1
- T SF1 5
- T SF2 9
- T SF3 17
- T SF5 5
- T SF6 6
- T SF7 19
- T SF9 3
- T SF10 7
- T SF11 19.
- the cumulative weights or running times of these sub-assemblies are here equal and equal to 32; this same subframe configuration durations or the same weights advantageously makes it possible to minimize the time between the addressing of a bit on a group of lines and the addressing of the same bit on the next group of lines, and thus limiting an image artifact manifested by a border between the different groups of lines (“type contouring” in English).
- Figure 1 illustrates the sequencing obtained, with on the ordinate the number of the lines of the 8 groups of lines, and on the abscissa the time divided into three subframes (subframe in English) or in 96 addressing cycles (unit of time) ; it can therefore be seen that, according to the invention, during the sub-frame ST1, all the sub-scans or bits b0, b1, b2, b3 specific to this sub-frame are addressed, respectively of weight 1, 5, 9, 17 ; the same applies to the other sub-frames ST2 and ST3.
- Table I of Figure 2 attached gives, for each sub-scan (b0 to b7 ) and for each group of lines (1 to 8), the effective duration of the sub-scans of each sub-frame ST1, ST2, ST3; in all cases, the weight of each SFQ sub-scan must be reduced to the smallest of the weights of SF ⁇ on the entire panel; thus, the effective weights of the sub-sweeps will be reduced to:
- This adjustment of the effective durations of the sub-sweeps according to the group of lines is carried out by a judicious choice of the location of the erasing operation.
- Table II of Figure 3 attached provides a sequencing of these sub-scans and allows to check the consistency of the proposed sequencing, sub-frame by sub-frame; if we consider that the arbitrary unit of time corresponds to a period or “cycle” of addressing (at most 208 ⁇ s), this table indicates, for each group of lines, the instant of start of addressing period a sub-scan (see the columns whose reference begins with A): we therefore check on this table that there is no overlap of the addressing periods within the frame, and, a fortiori, at within each subframe.
- Table II indicates, for each group of lines, the time of end of the subscanning (see the columns whose reference begins with E); the time which may elapse between this instant and that of the next subscanning on the same group of lines (columns A) is a "dead time"; it is checked in this table II that: - for each group of lines, the weight of each subscanning is equal to the effective weight mentioned in table I;
- all the sub-scans of the same sub-frame are sent only once to each group of lines during the duration of this sub-frame; between the start of the first sub-scan engaged in a sub-frame and the start of the last sub sweep engaged in this same subframe, the total elapsed time does not exceed the duration of this subframe.
- this first display mode therefore corresponds to a 12-bit coding of the luminance.
- the electronic supply and addressing system for the electrodes then transforms the video input signal of the installation into 12 bit video words (b 0 , bi, b 2 , etc.) in a manner known per se. ., b ( n _i)), each word being associated with a luminous element of the panel and having a numerical value as a function of the luminance to be displayed by this element; using the method and sequencing described above, each word is addressed to the light element which is associated with it so as to obtain the temporal modulation of the light emission of this element; at the end of the duration of a frame, a complete image is then displayed on the panel; the succession of frames ST1- ST2-ST3 - ST1-ST2-ST3 - ST1-ST2-ST3 - ... leads to the refresh and scrolling of the image at a rate of 50 Hz.
- the image is scrolling, it may be useful to reduce the number of coding bits for the luminance of the light elements; thanks to the invention, it is very easy to go from the previous 12-bit coding to a coding corresponding to any combination of the number of sub-scans of the sub-frames ST1, ST2 and / or ST3; in addition to 12 bits, the possible combinations lead to 4 or 8 bits of luminance coding.
- the duration of a frame is then distributed over two sub-frames
- a frame then corresponds to the succession ST1-ST2, or ST2-ST3, or ST1-ST3;
- a frame then corresponds to a single sub-frame ST1, ST2 or ST3.
- the duration of the sub-scans and of the sub-frames is extended in the same proportions so as to "fill" any the frame and to keep the relative weight of the remaining bits.
- the electronic supply and addressing system for the electrodes then transforms in a manner known per se the video input signal of the installation into 4 or 8 bit video words and addresses these words to the light element. associated with it, and, at the end of the duration of a frame, a complete image is then displayed on the panel.
- transitions from a display mode with 12 bits of luminance coding to a display mode having a smaller number of coding bits, as well as the reverse transitions, are thus very easily carried out continuously during display. .
- the reduction in the number of bits being displayed makes it possible to increase the duration of the addressing periods and especially that of the holding periods, which makes it possible to increase the luminance of the panel.
- the invention has all the known advantages of “AWD” type processes, in particular the advantage of high luminance and distribution over the entire frame of the electrical power consumed by the panel.
- the scanning method according to l he invention reduces image defects relating to "false contours".
- the invention applies regardless of the number of subframes and also regardless of the number of luminance coding bits, provided that it is high enough so that the frame can be divided into subframes.
- the possible luminance codings are, according to the invention, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 14 bits ; codings which have the same number of bits can even be carried out by different combinations of sub-frames: for example, the combination ST1-ST2 leads to the same number of bits as the sub-frame ST4 alone; the possibility of choosing from several codings having the same number of bits advantageously makes it possible to obtain a progressive luminance adjustment.
- the present invention has been described with reference to an alternative type plasma panel, but applies to other types of plasma panels and to any matrix display panel requiring scanning to control the light elements.
- the invention also applies to the control of liquid crystal panels addressed by plasma (commonly called under the English abbreviation "PALC”), and to the control of liquid crystal matrices on reflective silicon (commonly called under the English abbreviation "LCoS”).
