- this updating method is a modification example in which updating is performed in a line sequential manner in the vertical direction in accordance with the scanning of the video signal.
- FIG. 9B shows still another example of the updating method in the present embodiment.
- the luminance setting is updated every odd frame
- the luminance setting is updated every even frame.
- the left side in the figure shows the state of scanning of the video signal in the liquid crystal panel 110
- the right side in the figure shows the state of updating the luminance setting in the LED backlight 121.
- a light emitting area written as “Further” indicates an updated area from time to time.
- “Further” written in italic bold in the figure is an update in the light emitting area corresponding to the display area in which writing of the latest video signal is completed during the frame period. Is shown.
- the example shown in FIG. 9B is the same as that in FIG. 9A in that the brightness setting is updated in synchronization with the scanning of the video signal.
- the luminance settings in the light emission areas corresponding to several vertical display area widths are collectively updated for every pixel scan corresponding to one vertical display area width of an odd frame.
- the luminance setting in the light emission areas corresponding to several display area widths in the vertical direction is updated at once for each pixel scan corresponding to one display area width in the vertical direction of even frames.
- the feature amount detection unit 131 may detect the feature amount of only the display region corresponding to the light emitting region of the group to be updated, or may detect the feature amount of the entire display region. Further, the luminance calculation unit 132 may calculate the luminance value of only the light emitting area of the group to be updated, or may calculate the luminance value of all the light emitting areas. Further, regarding the video signal correction unit 140, it is possible to select whether the video signal is not corrected or whether the video signal is corrected. In either case, selecting the latter may result in a more optimized video, but it is better to select the former when reducing the computational load or the required memory capacity. preferable.
- FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a liquid crystal display device 100 having components (motion detection unit 160) for performing such motion vector analysis.
- the brightness setting update frequency is increased for a fast moving part to optimize the contrast.
- the light emitting area corresponding to the corresponding display area is divided into groups, and the light emitting area corresponding to the corresponding display area is changed to a single group. Change the grouping to the grouping to which it belongs.
- the motion detection unit 160 may evaluate the magnitude of motion of the video on the entire screen instead of performing motion vector analysis in units of regions as described above. Then, the backlight control unit 134 changes the light emitting area belonging to each group according to the evaluation result, that is, according to the magnitude of the motion of the video. For example, when the movement of the image on the entire screen is small, the grouping is performed such that each light emitting area belongs to only one group out of the plurality of groups. Grouping is done so as to belong to all. Equivalently, when the motion of the video is small, the light emitting areas belonging to different groups are alternately subject to update of the brightness setting (alternate update), and when the motion of the video is large, all the light emitting areas are always set to the brightness.
- the number of groups may be varied based on the magnitude of movement while keeping the group switching period constant. For example, the larger the movement, the smaller the number of groups, and the smaller the movement, the larger the number of groups. More specifically, when the movement increases, a specific group is merged into another group, or the specific group is divided and then merged into another plurality of groups. When the movement decreases, one or more specific groups are divided into a plurality of groups.
- a large movement means that there is a high possibility that the optimum luminance value of each light emitting area changes. It is clear that this control is more advantageous considering that the smaller the number of groups, the more the entire screen is controlled to light emission brightness based on the latest video.
- the group switching cycle may be varied based on the magnitude of movement. For example, the greater the movement, the shorter the period (higher frequency), and the smaller the movement, the longer the period (lower frequency). It is clear that this control is more advantageous in view of the fact that the shorter the period, the more the entire screen is controlled to light emission brightness based on the latest video.
- the circuit scale may increase with the addition of a circuit for motion vector analysis.
- many of recent television receivers include a circuit unit (frame rate conversion unit) for converting a video signal frame rate, and perform motion vector analysis therein. Therefore, if the vector information from this circuit is utilized, a large increase in circuit scale can be avoided.
- the frame rate conversion unit converts the vertical scanning frequency of the video signal to X times (X is a real number greater than 1) by generating an intermediate frame from the video signal before being input to the liquid crystal panel 110. is there. Assuming an original video signal with a vertical scanning frequency of 60 Hz, for example, when the conversion magnification is double, the vertical scanning frequency of the video signal after the conversion processing is 120 Hz.
- the conversion magnification may be larger than 2 times, for example, 3 times or 4 times, and may be smaller than 2 times, for example, 1.5 times.
- This conversion process realizes a technique known as “double speed drive”, and provides an effect of smoothing the video and reducing the motion blur.
- the transmission load and unnecessary radiation are minimized while performing local contrast control with high quality according to the video, particularly according to the magnitude of motion in the video obtained by motion vector analysis. Can be suppressed.
- FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing a modification of the configuration of the liquid crystal display device 100 for realizing this.
- the LED controller 130 of the liquid crystal display device 100 includes a previous value storage memory 135 in addition to the luminance storage memory 133. Further, the LED controller 130 further includes a comparison unit 136 that calculates a difference between the output of the luminance storage memory 133 and the output of the previous value storage memory 135 for each light emitting area and compares the difference with a predetermined threshold value.
- the output of the luminance storage memory 133 is the latest emission luminance value determined for each emission region by the luminance calculation unit 132 based on the latest video signal.
- the output of the previous value storage memory 135 is a light emission luminance value indicating the current actual light emission state for each light emission region.
- the comparison unit 136 outputs the latest light emission luminance value determined for the light emitting region together with the write command only when the difference for a certain light emitting region exceeds the threshold value.
- this is the phase in which the brightness setting of group A is updated.
- the light emission luminance values of the light emission regions belonging to the group A are written in the luminance storage memory 133.
- the comparison unit 136 sequentially reads the light emission luminance of each light emission region belonging to the group A.
- the previous value storage memory 135 stores the light emission luminance value of each light emission area of group A and the light emission luminance value of each light emission area of group B at the time of the previous update. That is, these are the light emission luminance values representing the current actual light emission state in the entire light emission region.
- the comparison unit 136 sequentially reads out the light emission luminance values of the respective light emission regions belonging to the group A from the previous value storage memory 135.
- the comparison unit 136 calculates a difference between values read from both the previous value storage memory 135 and the luminance storage memory 133 for the same light emitting area, and compares the difference with a threshold value. As a result of the comparison, when the difference with respect to the light emitting area is larger than the threshold value, the comparison unit 136 outputs the value read from the luminance storage memory 133 and the write command thereof. When the difference is smaller than the threshold value, the comparison unit 136 outputs nothing for the light emitting region.
- the backlight control unit 134 When there is an output from the comparison unit 136, the backlight control unit 134 generates a control signal for the backlight drive unit 122 based on the light emission luminance value of each light emitting area output from the comparison unit 136, This is output to the backlight drive unit 122.
- the backlight drive unit 122 drives the LED backlight 121 based on this control signal as described above. Therefore, when the difference calculated by the comparison unit 136 is large for a certain light emitting area, the brightness setting in the light emitting area is updated. On the other hand, when the difference calculated by the comparison unit 136 is small for a certain light emitting area, the update of the luminance setting in the light emitting area is avoided.
- the previous value storage memory 135 always stores the value output from the comparison unit 136, that is, the latest light emission luminance value actually adopted.
- this control is performed by the LEDs corresponding to (1) and (3) among the LED driving IC classifications (1) to (4) described above.
- the driving IC is used, the maximum effect is exhibited. This is because it is possible to realize execution or avoidance of luminance update for each light emitting area.
- this method can be used in combination with control called backlight scanning. That is, this method can also be used for control known as backlight scanning in which afterimages are reduced by sequentially turning off part of the backlight sequentially in accordance with the scanning of the video signal.
- the turn-off control is sequentially performed only for the group in which the luminance setting is updated (or not) in the corresponding frame.
- a period for turning off the illumination unit 120 is provided in accordance with the scanning of the video signal, and the group to be turned off is switched for each turn-off period. In this way, it is possible to suppress a decrease in luminance due to the backlight being turned off (normally, the luminance during the lighting period is increased in order to ensure the luminance, but a load is applied to the light source and the power source accordingly) .
- Some LED driving ICs can turn on and off the LED by a method other than sequentially turning off the LED and then turning it on again.
- the LED driving IC controls the lighting and extinguishing of the LED by the luminance setting command or by the current source ON / OFF command of each channel or all channels sent by the same transmission method and line as the luminance setting command.
- Such an LED driving IC is, for example, a driving IC that can be realized by simply controlling a certain dedicated pin to a high level or a low level.
- the turn-off control can be easily applied sequentially to a group different from the group for updating the luminance setting. is there.
- the update of the brightness setting aims to improve the contrast
- the sequential turn-off control aims to improve the motion blur. Distributing these improvements to multiple groups reduces the load for control and transmission, while improving the contrast and video blurring not only for specific groups but also for the whole group. It is possible to show.
- the LED to be turned off may be switched for each group. That is, in this case, a period for turning off the illumination unit 120 is provided for each frame, and the group to be turned off is switched for each turn-off period.
- a plurality of light emitting areas are divided into a plurality of groups, and the group for updating the setting of the light emission luminance is switched every N frames (N is a natural number) of the video signal.
- N is a natural number
- the light source of the LED backlight 121 is a configuration in which white light is obtained by mixing three LEDs of R (red), G (green), and B (blue), renewal of these color mixture ratios is required.
- This method may be applied. It is known that there are three patterns of local contrast control: luminance direction control, chromaticity direction control, and mixed control combining both.
- luminance direction control not the luminance of the video signal but the feature amount is detected for each RGB signal level (also referred to as the luminance level of each color), the LED luminance of each color is calculated, and the LED luminance of each color is stored. .
- image correction correction is performed for each of the R component, G component, and B component.
- the outline is the same as the control of only the luminance (the video signal is an RGB signal or a color difference signal).
- the video signal is an RGB signal or a color difference signal.
- the calculation load and transmission load are generally heavier than in the case of only luminance.
- this method is also used, the load can be reduced without significantly degrading the quality of the displayed video.
- the backlight device according to the present invention has the effect of being able to perform local contrast control with high quality while reducing the transmission load, and is useful as, for example, a backlight of a video display device that requires a light source such as a liquid crystal display. It is.
- a video display device using the backlight device can be used as a liquid crystal display device such as a liquid crystal television or a liquid crystal monitor.
