Definitions
- the present invention relates to an image display apparatus and method for performing color image display by a field sequential method.
- the first method is additive color mixing based on the space color mixing principle. More specifically, the individual sub-pixels of the three primary colors of light of R (red), G (green) and B (blue) are finely arranged in a plane, and each color light is discriminated using the spatial resolution of the human eye Disable and mix colors in the same screen to obtain a color image.
- Most of the first system such as the cathode ray tube system, the PDP (plasma display) system, and the liquid crystal system, which are currently on the market, correspond.
- a display device of a type that modulates light from a light source (backlight) to display an image using this first method for example, an element represented by a liquid crystal element, which does not emit light itself is used as a modulation element
- the following problems occur. That is, in the same screen, three drive circuits for driving the sub-pixels are required to correspond to the respective RGB colors. In addition, RGB color filters are required. Furthermore, since the color filter is present, the light utilization factor is reduced to 1/3 by the light from the light source being absorbed by the color filter.
- the second method is additive color mixing by time mixing. More specifically, the three primary colors of RGB light are divided along the time axis, and planar images of the respective primary colors are sequentially displayed as time passes (time-sequentially). Then, by switching the respective screens at an unrecognizable speed using the time resolution of the human eye, each color light can not be distinguished by time mixing due to the integration effect in the time direction of the eye, and a color image is obtained by time mixing. Is displayed.
- This method is generally called field sequential method.
- the second method is currently mainly used for the modulation method of a high-intensity high-heat light source such as a projector (projection display method) in which a decrease in light amount tends to cause a fatal heat loss. Also, the second method has been studied in various ways because it has the merit of high utilization efficiency of light.
- the second method has serious visual disadvantages.
- the basic principle of display is to switch each screen at a speed that can not be recognized using the time resolution of the human eye.
- the RGB images displayed sequentially in order of time do not mix well due to complex factors such as the restriction on the optic nerve of the eye and the sense of image recognition of the human brain.
- the image of each primary color is viewed as an afterimage, etc., and a significant discomfort is observed It causes a display phenomenon called color breaking which is given to a person.
- Patent Document 1 there is known a technique for reducing color breakup by providing a field in which white light component periods are mixed in each field of RGB field sequential (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
- Patent Document 2 there is a technique of extracting a white component and newly inserting a W field between RGBRGB... Sequentially to prevent color breakup by four sequential processes of RGB W RGB W. It is known (for example, refer patent document 2).
- Patent Document 3 There is also known a technique for preventing color breakup by extracting image information and changing the color origin coordinates of the primary color (basic color) itself to be processed.
- Patent Documents 4 to 7 various proposals for improving the display in the field sequential system have been proposed (see Patent Documents 4 to 7).
- Patent No. 3912999 gazette Patent No. 3878030 gazette JP 2008-310286 A Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2007-264211 Japanese Patent Publication No. 2008-510347 Patent No. 3977675
- Patent Document 4 defines a case where a portion with high color purity of saturated color does not exist in an image as a mild image, and in that case, color mixing is achieved by lighting the entire white color component with backlight. It prevents cracking.
- the to-be-colored image parts with high saturation which are not mild images are scattered in the same image plane. For this reason, the presence of a portion having a high degree of saturation in the screen lowers the saturation by turning on the entire surface of the mixed color, so the partial color purity in the screen is not compatible with the removal of the color break.
- Patent Document 5 describes the luminance on the retina using various space-time diagrams and a retina diagram.
- color breakup is reduced by a configuration such as RGBKKK with K as a black screen.
- the diagram showing the luminance distribution on the retina described in Patent Document 5 is described as a trapezoid of a center symmetry despite the fact that the target image is decomposed into an integration of images having different luminances of RGB.
- the luminance component to be synthesized is a primary color image that is not a uniform black and white image, the luminance on the left and right of the eye-following reference on the retina is not actually in central symmetry as shown in the figure. . That is, the figure lacks strictness, and in fact, as shown in FIG.
- Patent Document 6 detects a moving part of a video signal for the purpose of correcting and correcting the displacement of the image on the retina caused by moving image tracking, and shifts the display video side from the beginning to the moving direction It is a plan to take measures by displaying. In this method, it is effective while following the part in question, but whether to follow or not is a subjectivity problem on the observer side. For this reason, the processing of adding a shift to the originally unshifted image is aggravated due to the fixed vision or simultaneous display of objects with different moving directions, etc., thereby further deteriorating the color breakup. It has a serious disadvantage of being perceived and can not be put to practical use.
- Patent Document 7 describes a scheme of distributing RGBYeMgCy at 6-fold speed.
- this proposal there is no concept of a luminance center for eye tracking, and it has been confirmed by the inventors of the present invention that, in fact, measures against color breakup have no effect as compared with the later-described display method proposed in the present application.
- the present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object thereof is to provide an image display apparatus and method capable of suppressing the occurrence of color breakup in moving image tracking in the field sequential system. is there.
- An image display apparatus separates an input image into a plurality of color component images required for color display in frame units, and generates field images of a plurality of colors for display according to the field sequential method.
- the display order control unit that variably controls the display order in one frame period of field images of multiple colors in frame units, and the multiple colors by field sequential method
- a display unit for time-divisionally displaying the field images of the above when the display order control unit displays the moving image on the display unit, the retina is recognized by the field image group constituting one frame or the field image group constituting two temporally consecutive frames.
- the combined luminance distribution of the field image group above is maximum in the central part and the luminance decreases as going to the peripheral part, and the field image of multiple colors is spread so that the spread of the combined luminance distribution becomes symmetrical. It controls the display order of.
- the observer when the moving image is displayed on the display unit, the observer can receive the field image group constituting one frame or the field image group constituting two temporally consecutive frames.
- the composite luminance distribution of the field image group on the retina to be recognized becomes maximum in the central part and the luminance becomes lower as going to the peripheral part, and the spread of the composite luminance distribution becomes symmetrical.
- the display order of field images of multiple colors is controlled.

Abstract
Description
[画像表示装置の全体構成]
図1は、本発明の第1の実施の形態に係る画像表示装置の構成例を示している。この画像表示装置は、入力画像を表すR,G,Bのカラー画像信号が含まれた映像信号が入力される表示制御部1を備えている。また、表示制御部1によって制御され、フィールドシーケンシャル方式によってカラー画像表示を行う表示パネル2およびバックライト3を備えている。
表示制御部1は、映像信号に含まれるカラー画像を入力画像として、フィールドシーケンシャル方式による表示用の複数色のフィールド画像を生成すると共に、それら複数色のフィールド画像の表示順序をフレーム単位で可変制御することが可能となっている。表示制御部1は、画像処理部11と、表示順序制御部12と、出力信号選択スイッチャ18と、バックライト色光選択スイッチャ19とを有している。
表示順序制御部12は、表示パネル2において移動画像を表示したときに、1フレームを構成するフィールド画像群によって観察者に認識される、網膜上でのフィールド画像群の合成輝度分布が所定の分布形状となるように複数色のフィールド画像の表示順序を制御する。所定の分布形状とは、後述する人間の視覚特性を考慮したものであり、中央部で輝度が最大となり周辺部に行くに連れて輝度が低くなり、かつ合成輝度分布の広がりが左右対称的となるような形状である。
この画像表示装置の動作(表示方法)について説明する前に、まず、従来技術との比較を行うために、従来技術によるフィールドシーケンシャル方式の表示手法およびその問題点について説明する。なお、以下の説明においては、特別な場合を除き、色覚特性と視聴環境は標準的なモデルを想定して説明する。標準的なモデルとして、観察者は正常色覚者であり、明所視の環境で画像を表示するものとする。
例えばSDTVでは、輝度成分Yは、
Y=0.299*R+0.587*G+0.114*B
で表される(*は乗算記号)。なお、厳密には各種規格による種々の変換式があるが、本実施の形態では説明を分かりやすくするため、平易なものを使用する。これは、R,G,Bの各原色信号に、標準的な視感度特性を加味した輝度変換式となっている。標準的な視感度特性を加味した場合、R,G,Bの各原色信号は輝度比率がおおよそ、
R:G:B=0.3:0.6:0.1となるように変換される。
このため、図28では、網膜上で全体的に平坦な輝度分布とされているが、視感度特性を考慮すると正確には図30に示したように、左右端部の輝度レベルの分布が異なっている。すなわち、図30に示したように、黄色成分Yeおよび赤色成分Rのずれが知覚される右側の部分32と、青色成分Bおよびシアン成分Cyのずれが知覚される左側の部分33とでは輝度分布が異なる。つまり、輝度のエネルギー分布が網膜合成画像上で不揃いになり、左右非対称で、いびつになる。
以上の従来技術による表示手法を踏まえて、本実施の形態における表示方法について説明する。人間の視覚特性を考慮すると、移動画像を表示したときに、1フレーム期間内で、時間的に中央で輝度エネルギーが高くなり、かつ時間的に対称的な所定形状の輝度分布になれば、色割れを抑制できると考えられる。本実施の形態は、そのような表示手法を実現したものである。
R:G:B=3:6:1で表される。
次に、人間の視覚特性についてより具体的に説明する。また、色ずれの認識との関係について説明する。
ω=(Δθ/Δt)
G=1として、R<2,B<14のような関係が成り立つ。
図12は、このような人間の視覚特性に基づいた空間的な色ずれの許容量を模式的に示している。
0≦ω≦24deg/s程度といわれている。一方で、図10に示したように、20deg/secの追従速度で、1/3以下の解像力に低下する特徴がある。このことから、追従視線からの表示時間位置による網膜上の合成イメージの各色の逸脱度合いの静止画時の許容量限度は、移動速度に依存する。本実施の形態の表示方法では、時空図(図4)の結果として求めた網膜上の輝度分布に依存して、追従視線30が決まると共に、移動速度に依存して、像の空間的広がりが大きくなったり小さくなったりする。広がりの範囲を静止画状態で限定すれば、動画時にはさらに悪くなり1/3の識別しかできないようになると考えられる。図12に示したずれ許容量は、周波数分解能をずれ許容量と見立てた図である。青は、赤に対して7倍のずれ(緑に対して14倍)の空間的広がりがあっても、容易に識別できにくいだろうことが考えられる。静止画観測時には図9より、赤の空間分解能が緑の半分以下であるので、図12では、緑に対して赤は2倍の空間的広がりが許容できるものとして描いている。実際には、輝度の高い画像は、ずれ許容量が減少し、輝度の低い画像は緩和される方向になる。総合すると、ずれの許容量は輝度比の逆数よりやや差の大きい比率になるとともに移動速度に応じて、知覚能力が衰えるのでさらに条件は緩和される。
ずれ(広がり)量=フレーム間画像移動量/1フレーム内フィールド枚数 …(1)
1. 図12に示したように、G=1として、R<2,B<14以下の帯域空間コントラスト視覚特性比(図9)を満たすずれにあること。
2. 動画時には移動速度に応じて、変化する帯域減衰の量以下に(1)式が収まっていること。
3. 追従視線を中心として、輝度分布の広がりが左右対称になっていること。
次に、本発明の第2の実施の形態に係る画像表示装置について説明する。なお、上記第1の実施の形態に係る画像表示装置と実質的に同一の構成部分には同一の符号を付し、適宜説明を省略する。

次に、本発明の第6の実施の形態に係る画像表示装置について説明する。なお、上記第1ないし第5の実施の形態に係る画像表示装置と実質的に同一の構成部分には同一の符号を付し、適宜説明を省略する。
図24は、第6の実施の形態(図22)に対する比較例による画像の表示状態を模式的に示している。図24には、網膜上で追従視時に重なり合うイメージ(網膜上での輝度分布)を各フレームごとに簡易的に図示してあるが、図25(C)にさらに、図24に示した表示状態における網膜上での2フレーム期間の合成の輝度分布を模式的に示す。図25(A)は、図24に示した表示状態における第1のフレームF1のフィールド画像群による網膜上での輝度分布を模式的に示している。図25(B)は図24に示した表示状態における第2のフレームF2のフィールド画像群による網膜上での輝度分布を模式的に示している。図25(C)には、図25(A)と図25(B)とに示した輝度分布を合成した状態を模式的に示している。
次に、本発明の第7の実施の形態に係る画像表示装置について説明する。なお、上記第1ないし第6の実施の形態に係る画像表示装置と実質的に同一の構成部分には同一の符号を付し、適宜説明を省略する。
本発明は、上記各実施の形態に限定されず種々の変形実施が可能である。
以上の各実施の形態の説明では、複数色のフィールド画像として、赤色、緑色および青色の3原色のフィールド画像を生成して時分割表示する場合を例にしたが、これら3原色とは異なる色でカラー表示を行うものであっても良い。例えば純粋な3原色とは色相がわずかに異なる他の3色でカラー表示を行うものであっても良い。
Ye(=R+G)>Cy(=G+B)>Mg(=R+B)の順である。また、人間の眼による周波数分解能の高さと帯域感度の広さの順も、Ye>Cy>Mgの順である。従って、これら補色3色のフィールド画像群による時分割表示では、位置ずれや空間的広がりの相対的な許容量は、Yeが最も小さくMgが最も大きくなり、Ye>Cy>Mgの順に色ずれを認識しやすいと考えられる。従って、上記各実施の形態における、RGBの各色を、G→Ye,R→Cy,B→Mgと置き換えるような組み合わせで表示すれば、同様の色割れ低減効果が得られる。例えば上記第1の実施の形態における「B,R,G,G,R,B」の表示順に代えて、1フレーム期間内で「Mg,Cy,Ye,Ye,Cy,Mg」の表示順で表示する方法であっても良い。
