The TV broadcast wave may be, for example, a TV broadcast wave using an empty channel, and a channel that has not been tried in that area can be selected from a plurality of channels so that each area can be handled. The content (content) of the television broadcast wave may be a moving image or a still image such as a photograph.
　液晶テレビ４０において、デモ用信号発生器４５からのテレビ放送波を受信することにより、液晶表示装置４１にデモ用の画像を表示することができる。そして、この場合、例えば、液晶表示装置４１の表示画面の左右に、「表示品質が改善された画像」及び「表示品質が改善される前の画像」を同時に表示することが可能となる。従って、消費者或いはユーザは、一つの画面の左右の画像を比較することにより、表示品質の改善効果を直ちに理解することができる。 The liquid crystal television 40 can display a demonstration image on the liquid crystal display device 41 by receiving a television broadcast wave from the demonstration signal generator 45. In this case, for example, “an image with improved display quality” and “an image with improved display quality” can be simultaneously displayed on the left and right of the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 41. Therefore, the consumer or user can immediately understand the improvement effect of the display quality by comparing the left and right images of one screen.

　上記の図４に記載の従来技術によれば、消費者は表示品質の改善効果を容易に理解することは出来るが、デモンストレーションを実施するためには液晶テレビ４０等とは別のデモ用信号発生器４５が必要であり、手軽に表示品質の改善効果をデモンストレーションすることができないという課題を有する。 According to the prior art shown in FIG. 4 above, the consumer can easily understand the effect of improving the display quality. However, in order to perform the demonstration, a demo signal other than the liquid crystal television 40 is generated. The device 45 is necessary, and there is a problem that the display quality improvement effect cannot be easily demonstrated.
　特許文献１に記載の技術によれば、テレビ受像機等の装置本体内にデモンストレーション用の表示を行うための機能が備えられていることから、簡単にデモンストレーションを行うことが可能であるが、特許文献１に示されたデモンストレーションの内容は、テレビ受像機等の装置の使い方等に関するデモンストレーションであり、表示品質に関するデモンストレーションを組み込んでおくものは示されておらず、表示品質の改善効果をデモンストレーションすることはできない。 According to the technique described in Patent Document 1, since a function for performing a display for demonstration is provided in a device body such as a television receiver, the demonstration can be easily performed. The contents of the demonstration shown in Document 1 are demonstrations related to how to use devices such as television receivers, etc., and those that incorporate demonstrations relating to display quality are not shown, but to demonstrate the effect of improving display quality. I can't.
　なお、特許文献１に示された技術において、予めメモリ内に表示品質の改善効果をデモンストレーションする画像を記憶させておくことで、表示品質の改善効果についてのデモンストレーションを含めた種々のデモンストレーションを行うことはできるが、デモンストレーションを行う機能は、テレビ受像機等の装置の本来の機能とは別のものであり、テレビ受像機とは別に、これを実現するための装置を組み込んでおく必要がある。テレビ受像機等の装置自体の小型化が進んでいる中で、テレビ受像機等の装置の中に、余分な機能を実現するための装置等を入れる余地が少なくなっており、組込みのためのハードルが高くなるという課題を有している。また、テレビ受像機等のコスト低減に対する要請も強く、この観点からもデモンストレーション機能をテレビ受像機に組み込むためのハードルがある。 In the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, various demonstrations including demonstrations of display quality improvement effects are performed by storing in advance an image that demonstrates the display quality improvement effects in a memory. However, the demonstration function is different from the original function of a television receiver or the like, and it is necessary to incorporate a device for realizing the function separately from the television receiver. As devices such as television receivers are becoming smaller, there is less room to install devices for realizing extra functions in devices such as television receivers. There is a problem that the hurdle becomes high. In addition, there is a strong demand for cost reduction of television receivers and the like, and from this point of view, there is a hurdle for incorporating the demonstration function into the television receiver.
　また、特許文献１に開示された技術では、デモンストレーション機能を実現するための「マイコン５３等を含む装置」はテレビ受像機や電子レンジ等の装置と一体構成となっているものであり、一体化された装置の一機能として、当該装置の使用等に関するデモンストレーションを行うものである。従って、特許文献１に記載の技術では、テレビ受像機等の各種装置に組み込む前の、言わば「裸の」液晶モジュール自体の表示品質改善効果等をアピールしたい場合の要請には応えられない。なお、図４に示した従来技術のものでも、特許文献１のものと同様、液晶モジュール自体の表示品質改善効果等をアピールしたい場合の要請に答えられないという課題を有している。 In the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1, the “device including the microcomputer 53” for realizing the demonstration function is integrated with a device such as a television receiver or a microwave oven. As a function of the apparatus, a demonstration regarding the use of the apparatus is performed. Therefore, the technique described in Patent Document 1 cannot respond to a request for appealing the display quality improvement effect of the “naked” liquid crystal module itself before being incorporated in various devices such as a television receiver. Note that the prior art shown in FIG. 4 has a problem that it cannot answer the request for appealing the display quality improvement effect of the liquid crystal module itself, as in the case of Patent Document 1.
　更に、例えば、液晶パネル自体の表示性能の改善であると、一般的には、液晶パネル自体を提供するメーカ以外の装置メーカにとっては詳細が不明であり、どのような形でデモンストレーションを行えば良いのかも不明となり、効果的なデモンストレーションができ難いという課題を有している。 Further, for example, when the display performance of the liquid crystal panel itself is improved, the details are generally unknown to apparatus manufacturers other than the manufacturer that provides the liquid crystal panel itself, and any form of demonstration may be performed. However, there is a problem that it is difficult to make effective demonstrations.
　本発明は、上述の従来技術の課題に鑑みて成されたものであり、液晶モジュールに代表される表示モジュール等における表示品質の改善効果等をきわめて容易に分りやすくデモンストレーションすることができる画像表示機能を内蔵した表示モジュール、前記表示モジュールを備えた表示装置、前記表示モジュールを備えたテレビ受像機、前記表示モジュールを備えた携帯機器及び前記表示モジュールを備えたパソコン等を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the prior art, and an image display function capable of demonstrating the effect of improving display quality in a display module typified by a liquid crystal module very easily and easily. A display module including the display module, a television receiver including the display module, a portable device including the display module, a personal computer including the display module, and the like. .
　更に、本発明では、メモリに記憶させるデータとして、表示品質に関するデータに限らず所望のデータを記憶させ、前記表示品質に関するデモンストレーション以外の所望の画像をも表示することができる画像像表示機能を内蔵した表示モジュール、前記表示モジュールを備えた表示装置、前記表示モジュールを備えたテレビ受像機、前記表示モジュールを備えた携帯機器及び前記表示モジュールを備えたパソコン等を提供することを目的とする。 Furthermore, in the present invention, the data stored in the memory is not limited to data relating to display quality, and desired image data can be stored, and a desired image other than the demonstration relating to display quality can be displayed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a display module, a display device including the display module, a television receiver including the display module, a portable device including the display module, a personal computer including the display module, and the like.

　表示部と、前記表示部を駆動するための駆動回路とを備えた表示モジュールであって、
　情報を記憶するためのメモリと、前記メモリに記憶された情報を読出し、前記メモリに記憶された情報に基づく画像を作成して前記駆動回路に出力する画像信号作成部とをさらに備えたことを特徴としている。 In order to solve the above problem, in the display module according to the present invention,

That is, it is possible to provide a user-friendly display module such that a user can display desired images by storing desired information or data in a memory.
　また、表示モジュールを各種の機器に組み込んだ場合にも、機器全体を稼動させること無く表示モジュール部分のみを稼動することでユーザの所望の情報を表示或いはデモンストレーションすることができ、省エネを実現しながら、ユーザに対して表示モジュールの性能の高さ、或いは機器全体の性能良さ等各種の情報を提示することができる。 Even when the display module is incorporated into various devices, it is possible to display or demonstrate user-desired information by operating only the display module portion without operating the entire device, while realizing energy saving. Various kinds of information such as high performance of the display module or good performance of the entire device can be presented to the user.
　以上に述べたとおり、本願の発明に従った表示モジュールでは、表示部と、前記表示部を駆動するための駆動回路と、各種の情報を記憶するためのメモリと、前記メモリに記憶された情報を読出し、前記メモリに記憶された情報に基づく画像を作成して前記駆動回路に出力する画像信号作成部とを備えていることを特徴としている。 As described above, in the display module according to the present invention, the display unit, the drive circuit for driving the display unit, the memory for storing various information, and the information stored in the memory And an image signal creating unit that creates an image based on the information stored in the memory and outputs the image to the drive circuit.

　以下、本発明の実施の形態について、図面を用いて詳細に説明する。なお、以下の説明では本発明を実施するために好ましい種々の限定が付与されているが、本発明の技術的範囲は以下の実施例及び図面の記載に限定されるものではない。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the following description, various preferred limitations for implementing the present invention are given, but the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the description of the following examples and drawings.
　図１～図３を用いて、本発明の実施の形態を説明する。最初に、図１を用いて、液晶モジュールを用いた場合を例にして、本発明の概要を説明し、次いで、図２を用いて本発明に従った液晶モジュールにおいて、デモンストレーションを行う場合の概要を説明する。更に、図３を用いて、デモンストレーションするに適した代表的な表示品質の例を説明する。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the outline of the present invention will be described using the case of using a liquid crystal module as an example with reference to FIG. 1, and then the outline of the demonstration in the liquid crystal module according to the present invention using FIG. 2. Will be explained. Further, an example of typical display quality suitable for demonstration will be described with reference to FIG.
　なお、図１では、具体的な表示装置として液晶表示装置を想定し、液晶モジュールを用いて本発明を説明しているが、本発明は、液晶表示装置に限らず、プラズマパネルを備えたプラズマ表示装置、およびＥＬパネルを備えたＥＬ表示装置等その他の表示装置にも適用できることは言うまでもない。 In FIG. 1, a liquid crystal display device is assumed as a specific display device, and the present invention is described using a liquid crystal module. However, the present invention is not limited to a liquid crystal display device, and plasma including a plasma panel is described. Needless to say, the present invention can be applied to other display devices such as a display device and an EL display device including an EL panel.
　図１は、本発明を液晶モジュールに適用した場合の液晶モジュールの概要を示す図である。図１において、１０は液晶モジュールであり、液晶パネルよりなる表示部１１、液晶パネルよりなる表示部１１の駆動回路等を含む周辺回路部２０を有している。周辺回路部２０は、表示部駆動回路２４、液晶モジュール１０への外部入力を受け付ける受信部（インターフェース部；ＩＦ）２３の外、画像信号作成部２２、メモリ２１を備えている。なお、バックライトは図示していないが、組み込まれていても良い。画像信号作成部２２では、メモリ２１に記憶されたデータ（情報）を読出し、該データに基づいて該データによって決められた所望の画像信号を作成し、周辺回路部２０内の駆動回路に出力する。 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an outline of a liquid crystal module when the present invention is applied to the liquid crystal module. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a liquid crystal module, which has a display unit 11 made of a liquid crystal panel and a peripheral circuit unit 20 including a drive circuit for the display unit 11 made of a liquid crystal panel. The peripheral circuit unit 20 includes a display unit drive circuit 24, a reception unit (interface unit; IF) 23 that receives external input to the liquid crystal module 10, an image signal creation unit 22, and a memory 21. Although the backlight is not shown, it may be incorporated. The image signal creation unit 22 reads data (information) stored in the memory 21, creates a desired image signal determined by the data based on the data, and outputs it to the drive circuit in the peripheral circuit unit 20. .
　表示部駆動回路２４、受信部２３は、従来の液晶モジュールにおいても備えられていたものであるが、本発明では、液晶モジュール１０内に、更に、画像信号作成部２２、メモリ２１が設けられている。周辺回路部２０は、液晶パネルより成る表示部１１に対して外付けの部品として付加されても良いが、液晶パネルの基板が低抵抗率の低温ポリシリコン等である場合には、液晶パネルの基板に、駆動用の薄膜トランジスタ等を形成する時に同時に形成することも可能である。 The display unit driving circuit 24 and the receiving unit 23 are also provided in a conventional liquid crystal module, but in the present invention, an image signal generating unit 22 and a memory 21 are further provided in the liquid crystal module 10. Yes. The peripheral circuit unit 20 may be added as an external component to the display unit 11 made of a liquid crystal panel. However, when the substrate of the liquid crystal panel is low-resistance low-temperature polysilicon or the like, It is also possible to simultaneously form a driving thin film transistor or the like on the substrate.
　２５は受信部２３の入力端子の一部を示しており、液晶モジュールをデモンストレーションモードでスタートさせるための信号、周辺回路部２０を動作させるための電源、及びバックライト点灯のための電源等が接続される。勿論、バックライト点灯用の電源は、別途設けておいても良い。入力端子２６は、液晶モジュール１０の表示部１１を駆動するために必要な信号であって、入力端子２５に入力される信号以外の信号等であり、例えば、液晶モジュールを液晶テレビに用いた場合には、受信したチャンネルの画像（映像）信号等が入力される端子である。 Reference numeral 25 denotes a part of the input terminal of the receiving unit 23, to which a signal for starting the liquid crystal module in the demonstration mode, a power source for operating the peripheral circuit unit 20, and a power source for lighting the backlight are connected. Is done. Of course, a power source for lighting the backlight may be provided separately. The input terminal 26 is a signal necessary for driving the display unit 11 of the liquid crystal module 10 and is a signal other than a signal input to the input terminal 25. For example, when the liquid crystal module is used for a liquid crystal television Is a terminal to which an image (video) signal or the like of the received channel is input.
　図１では、本発明に係る液晶モジュール１０の動作を説明する上で便利なように、入力端子２５、入力端子２６を分けて記載しているが、特に、分けて設けることは必須ではなく、要は、液晶モジュール自体でも、デモンストレーションモードで駆動できれば良い。また、図１において、周辺回路部２０は、メモリ２１、画像信号作成部２２、受信部２３、表示部駆動回路２４の複数のブロックにより構成されるように記載されているが、この複数のブロックは、単一のＩＣに形成しておくこともできるし、メモリのみを別のＩＣで作成しておくこともできる。また、既に述べたように、液晶パネルの薄膜トランジスタ等の形成時に、同時に液晶パネルと同一基板上に形成しておくこともできる。 In FIG. 1, the input terminal 25 and the input terminal 26 are separately shown for convenience in explaining the operation of the liquid crystal module 10 according to the present invention. In short, the liquid crystal module itself may be driven in the demonstration mode. In FIG. 1, the peripheral circuit unit 20 is described as including a plurality of blocks including a memory 21, an image signal creation unit 22, a reception unit 23, and a display unit drive circuit 24. Can be formed in a single IC, or only the memory can be created in another IC. Further, as already described, at the time of forming a thin film transistor or the like of the liquid crystal panel, it can be formed on the same substrate as the liquid crystal panel at the same time.
　周辺回路部２０へのメモリ２１及び画像信号作成部２２等の組込みは、最初の設計時には、それなりの費用が必要になるが、設計を済ましてしまえば製造自体において格別な追加コストはかからない。従って、デモンストレーション機能を多数の液晶モジュールに組み込むことによって、設計時にかかった費用を分散すれば、デモンストレーション機能を追加することに伴うコスト上昇を殆ど無視できる程度に抑え込むことができる。 The incorporation of the memory 21 and the image signal creation unit 22 into the peripheral circuit unit 20 requires a certain amount of cost at the time of the initial design, but if the design is completed, there is no particular additional cost in manufacturing itself. Therefore, by incorporating the demonstration function into a large number of liquid crystal modules, if the cost for designing is distributed, the increase in cost associated with the addition of the demonstration function can be suppressed to a level that can be almost ignored.
　メモリ２１、画像信号作成部２２には、予めデモンストレーション用のデータが組み込まれている。液晶モジュールは、通常、液晶パネルメーカによって作成されることが多く、この場合、液晶パネルメーカは、液晶パネルの表示品質に関する詳細なデータを有していることから、特定の液晶モジュールに最適なデモンストレーション用データ類を作成することができる。 Demonstration data is incorporated in the memory 21 and the image signal creation unit 22 in advance. Liquid crystal modules are usually created by a liquid crystal panel manufacturer. In this case, the liquid crystal panel manufacturer has detailed data on the display quality of the liquid crystal panel, and is therefore the best demonstration for a specific liquid crystal module. Data can be created.
　メモリ２１へのデモンストレーションに関するデータ類の登録は、液晶モジュールの組込みの前に予め登録しておいても良いし、受信部２３を介して適宜書き込めるようにしておいても良い。また、液晶モジュールをテレビ受像機として使用する場合には、テレビのリモートコントローラから入力可能なように構成しても良い。 Registration of data related to the demonstration in the memory 21 may be registered in advance before the liquid crystal module is incorporated, or may be appropriately written via the receiving unit 23. Further, when the liquid crystal module is used as a television receiver, it may be configured to be input from a remote controller of the television.
　図２は、図１に示した本願発明に係る液晶モジュール１０を、デモンストレーションモードで動作させた場合の概要を説明する図である。図２において、図１と同じ構成部分には同一の番号を付与しているので、これらの構成部分に関する詳細な説明は省略する。 FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the outline when the liquid crystal module 10 according to the present invention shown in FIG. 1 is operated in the demonstration mode. In FIG. 2, the same reference numerals are given to the same components as those in FIG. 1, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
　図２において、３０は、液晶モジュール１０をデモンストレーションモードで駆動するためのデモモード駆動部であり、液晶パネルよりなる表示部１１のバックライトを動作させるための電源、表示部駆動回路２４等を含む周辺回路部２０を動作させるための電源、及び液晶モジュール１０をデモンストレーションモードで動作させるためのスタート信号発生部を含んでいる。換言すれば、前記デモモード駆動部３０は、セット側に含まれる液晶駆動電源やデータ信号を送ってくる部分に相当する部分であるということもできる。 In FIG. 2, 30 is a demonstration mode drive unit for driving the liquid crystal module 10 in the demonstration mode, and includes a power source for operating the backlight of the display unit 11 made of a liquid crystal panel, a display unit drive circuit 24, and the like. A power supply for operating the peripheral circuit unit 20 and a start signal generating unit for operating the liquid crystal module 10 in the demonstration mode are included. In other words, the demo mode driving unit 30 can be said to be a part corresponding to a part for sending a liquid crystal driving power source and a data signal included in the set side.
　本発明に係る液晶モジュール１０においては、液晶モジュール１０を液晶テレビ等の装置に組み込まずに単独で用いても、液晶モジュール１０の例えば表示品質に関するデモンストレーションを行うことができる。デモンストレーションを行う場合には、先ず、図２の（ａ）、（ｂ）に示すように、デモモード駆動部３０を、液晶モジュール１０に接続し、表示駆動回路を含む周辺回路部２０、及びバックライトに電源を供給して、前記液晶モジュール１０を動作状態にする。表示用データの入力がない状態では、図２の（ａ）に示すように、液晶モジュール１０の表示画面には何も表示されない（ノーマリー黒の液晶パネルでは黒画面）状態となる。 In the liquid crystal module 10 according to the present invention, for example, the display quality of the liquid crystal module 10 can be demonstrated even if the liquid crystal module 10 is used alone without being incorporated in an apparatus such as a liquid crystal television. When performing the demonstration, first, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the demo mode driving unit 30 is connected to the liquid crystal module 10 and the peripheral circuit unit 20 including the display driving circuit, and the backside. Power is supplied to the light to bring the liquid crystal module 10 into an operating state. When there is no display data input, as shown in FIG. 2A, nothing is displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal module 10 (a black screen on a normally black liquid crystal panel).
　そこで、デモモード駆動部３０に設けられたスイッチ等（図示されていない）の操作により、デモンストレーションモードをスタートさせる。即ち、スイッチ等の操作により、図１に示す画像信号作成部２２がメモリ２１に記憶されたデモンストレーション用のデータを読み出して、デモンストレーション用の画像信号を表示部駆動回路２４に供給し、液晶パネルよりなる表示部１１にデモンストレーション用の画像を表示する。 Therefore, the demonstration mode is started by operating a switch or the like (not shown) provided in the demonstration mode driving unit 30. That is, by the operation of a switch or the like, the image signal creation unit 22 shown in FIG. 1 reads the demonstration data stored in the memory 21 and supplies the demonstration image signal to the display unit drive circuit 24, from the liquid crystal panel. An image for demonstration is displayed on the display unit 11.
　図２の（ｂ）は、液晶パネルよりなる表示部１１上にデモンストレーション用の画像が表示されている様子を示している。図２の（ｂ）に示した例では、液晶パネルよりなる表示部１１を縦方向に２画面に分割して、例えば、画面左半分１２には表示品質の改善効果が現れた画像を表示し、画面右半分１３には表示品質の改善効果が現れない画像（通常モードの画像）を表示する。前記表示部１１が縦方向に２分割されていて、画質が改善されない画像と改善された画像とが同一の表示画面に隣接して表示されるため、画像品質の改善効果が極めて明確に認識できる。 (B) of FIG. 2 shows a state in which a demonstration image is displayed on the display unit 11 made of a liquid crystal panel. In the example shown in FIG. 2B, the display unit 11 made of a liquid crystal panel is divided into two screens in the vertical direction, and for example, an image showing an effect of improving display quality is displayed on the left half 12 of the screen. In the right half 13 of the screen, an image (normal mode image) in which the effect of improving the display quality does not appear is displayed. Since the display unit 11 is divided into two in the vertical direction, an image whose image quality is not improved and an improved image are displayed adjacent to the same display screen, so that the effect of improving the image quality can be recognized very clearly. .
　図３は、画面を２分割して表示することが適している表示品質の例を示している。図３の（ａ）は、表示品質として「応答速度の改善」を示す例であり、例えば、画面左半分Ａ（他方の画面）に応答速度改善モードの画像（表示品質改善後の画像）を表示し、画面右半分Ｂ（一方の画面）に応答速度が改善されない通常モードの画像（表示品質改善前の画像）を表示している。図３の（ｂ）は、表示品質として「視野角の改善」を示す例であり、図３の（ａ）と同様、画面左半分Ａに視野角特性が改善された後の画像を表示し、画面右半分Ｂに視野角特性の改善がなされない通常モードの画像が表示されている。図３の（ｃ）は、表示品質として「輝度の改善」を示す例であり、画面左半分Ａには輝度特性が改善された後の画像を表示し、画面右半分Ｂには輝度特性が改善されない通称モードの画像を表示している。 FIG. 3 shows an example of display quality suitable for displaying the screen in two parts. FIG. 3A shows an example of “response speed improvement” as the display quality. For example, an image in the response speed improvement mode (image after display quality improvement) is displayed on the left half A of the screen (the other screen). A normal mode image (image before display quality improvement) in which the response speed is not improved is displayed on the right half B (one screen) of the screen. FIG. 3B shows an example of “viewing angle improvement” as the display quality. Similar to FIG. 3A, the image after the viewing angle characteristics are improved is displayed on the left half A of the screen. In the right half B of the screen, a normal mode image in which the viewing angle characteristics are not improved is displayed. FIG. 3C is an example showing “improvement of luminance” as the display quality. The left half A of the screen displays the image after the luminance characteristic is improved, and the right half B of the screen has the luminance characteristic. An image of the common name mode that is not improved is displayed.
　表示部１１の分割は、縦方向に限らず、横方向に分割しても良く、更に、２分割に限らず、３分割以上であっても良い。表示部１１を３以上に分割する場合は、表示品質の改善の度合いを３以上の場合に分け、それぞれの改善の度合いに応じた画像を表示することができる。また、例えば、視野角特性の改善について、３以上の方式がある場合では、各方式別の表示品質の改善効果を比較できることになる等、多様なニーズに応じた表示が可能となる。 The division of the display unit 11 is not limited to the vertical direction, and may be divided in the horizontal direction, and is not limited to two divisions, and may be three or more divisions. When the display unit 11 is divided into three or more, the degree of improvement in display quality is divided into three or more cases, and an image corresponding to each degree of improvement can be displayed. In addition, for example, when there are three or more methods for improving the viewing angle characteristics, it is possible to display according to various needs, such as the effect of improving the display quality of each method can be compared.
