<1.1 全体的な構成および動作概要>
図1は、本発明の第1の実施形態に係る液晶表示装置2の構成を示すブロック図である。図1に示す液晶表示装置2は、バックライト3、バックライト駆動回路4、パネル駆動回路6、液晶パネル7、およびエリアアクティブ駆動処理部5を備えている。液晶表示装置2は、画面を複数のエリアに分割し、エリア内の入力画像に基づきバックライト光源の輝度を制御しながら、液晶パネル7を駆動するエリアアクティブ駆動を行う。以下、mとnは2以上の整数、iとjは1以上の整数、iとjのうち少なくとも一方は2以上の整数であるとする。
図3は、本実施形態におけるエリアアクティブ駆動処理部5の詳細な構成を示すブロック図である。エリアアクティブ駆動処理部5は、所定の処理を実行するための構成要素として、逆ガンマ補正部511と、LED出力値算出部512と、LED出力値補正部513と、表示輝度算出部514と、画像メモリ515と、LCDデータ算出部516と、ガンマ補正部517とを備え、後述する所定のデータを格納するための構成要素として、逆ガンマ・ルックアップテーブル(以下「逆ガンマLUT」と略称する)11と、図4に示すような特性を有する輝度補正ルックアップテーブル(以下「輝度補正LUT」と略称する)13と、図5に示すような輝度拡散フィルタ14と、ガンマ・ルックアップテーブル(以下「ガンマLUT」と略称する)17とを備えている。なお、LED出力値算出部512にも所定のデータを格納するための構成要素が含まれている。これらの構成要素は、具体的にはEPROMなどの所定の記憶装置に対応する。
図6は、エリアアクティブ駆動処理部5の処理を示すフローチャートである。エリアアクティブ駆動処理部5(に備えられるLED出力値算出部512)には、逆ガンマ補正された入力画像Dvlに含まれるある色成分(以下、色成分Cという)の画像が入力される(ステップS11)。色成分Cの入力画像には(m×n)個の画素の輝度が含まれる。
以上のように、本実施形態におけるLED出力値補正部513は、輝度補正LUT13を参照することにより、LED出力値算出部512で求められたLEDデータDblに対して上記中間値から最大値付近にかけてより高い輝度になるようにシフトする補正を行う。このことにより、バックライトの輝度が小さい場合(典型的には入力画像の平均輝度が小さい場合)にも表示の沈み込みを維持しながらピーク輝度感を強め、コントラスト比を向上させることができ、また、バックライトの輝度不足による高階調での階調飛び(輝度不足)を防止することができるので、表示品質の低下を防止することができる。
<2.1 全体的な構成および動作>
本発明の第2の実施形態に係る液晶表示装置2の構成および動作は、第1の実施形態に係る液晶表示装置2の構成および動作とほぼ同様であるが、本実施形態における輝度補正LUT13の特性のみが、図4に示す第1の実施形態における輝度補正LUT13の特性とは異なる。
