- an operation for correcting the X coordinate is performed (if necessary) out of the vertex coordinates of the upper left corner of the screen.
- the coordinate indicates a pixel position in the display screen.
- step S200 the sub-screen control unit 10 performs a calculation for correcting the Y coordinate among the reference coordinates as necessary.
- FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen including a sub screen when correction for moving the sub screen is not performed.
- FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen including a sub screen when the above correction is performed. 4 and FIG. 5, three sub-screens SUB1 to SUB3 indicated by bold lines are displayed on the display screen of the liquid crystal panel 7, and correspond to the sub-screen input images Dv1 to Dv3. In addition, among the nine vertical and horizontal 16 LED units 32 indicated by the thin lines, the units that are lit are shaded.
- step S300 the sub-screen control unit 10 determines whether or not a size fixing flag (to be described later) indicating that the size of the sub-screen is fixed, that is, by the processing in steps S100 and S200. It is determined whether or not the number of backlight light sources to be turned on (number of areas) cannot be reduced. As a result of the determination, if the size of the sub screen is fixed because the number of lighting cannot be reduced any more (if Yes in step S300), the process is terminated as it is, and the number of lighting may be further reduced. If the size of the sub screen is not fixed because it is possible (No in step S300), the process proceeds to step S400.
- a size fixing flag to be described later
- step S400 the sub-screen control unit 10 does not move the side aligned with the edge of the area by the processing in steps S100 and S200 so as to move away from the edge, and the number of backlight light sources to be turned on.
- a correction operation for appropriately reducing the size of the sub screen is performed. Similar to the processing in steps S100 and S200, correction is made so that the display screen is not reduced as much as possible from the size of the sub-screen before correction so that the display screen is not greatly changed by the correction processing for reducing the sub-screen in step S300. An operation is performed. This point will also be described in detail later.

- FIG. 6 shows that all the sides of the two sub-screens SUB1 and SUB3 shown in FIG. 5 are aligned with the edge of the area. Therefore, it is not necessary to change the size (it is not necessary to perform a correction operation for changing the size shown in step S400).
- not all the sides of the sub screen SUB2 are aligned with the edge of the area. Therefore, since the number of lighting can be further reduced by changing the size, it is preferable to change the size. Therefore, as shown in FIG.
- FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for the X coordinate correction calculation processing.
- the sub-screen control unit 10 determines that the size Lxp in the X-axis direction of the sub-screen before correction corresponding to the sub-screen input image Dv1 is the size Ax in the X-axis direction of the area. It is determined whether or not k times (k is a natural number). As a result of the determination, if it is k times (Yes in Step S102), the sub screen control unit 10 proceeds to the process of Step S104, and if not k times (No in Step S102), the sub screen control The unit 10 proceeds to the process of step S112.
- the size of the sub-screen or area is represented by the number of pixels on the display screen, and the coordinates are the coordinates of the pixels on the display screen.
- each area is set by dividing the display screen into a plurality of the same size.
- step S102 if the size of the sub screen is an integral multiple of the area size, the position in the X-axis direction, that is, the left and right sides of the sub screen are exactly the same if the sub screen is moved appropriately. Since it overlaps with the positions of the left side and the right side of the area, attention is paid to the fact that the number of lighting of the LED units 32 in the X-axis direction can be reduced.
- step S104 the sub screen control unit 10 determines whether or not the sub screen should be moved to the right. Specifically, the sub-screen control unit 10 sets the X coordinate of the reference coordinates (in this case, the coordinates of the upper left corner) of the sub-screen before correction corresponding to the sub-screen input image Dv1 as Xp, When the minimum remainder (greater than or equal to 0) when divided by the integer p times the size Ax in the X-axis direction is Xps, the sub screen is moved to the right when the following expression (1) is satisfied. Judge that it should be. Xps> Ax / 2 (1)
- moving to the right reduces the movement distance, so when moving to the right, moving the sub screen to the right may cause the sub screen position to move greatly from the original display position. It is possible to prevent deterioration of display quality (such as deterioration of sub-screen layout balance).
- step S104 If the result of determination in step S104 is to move to the right (Yes in step S104), the process proceeds to step S106, and if it should not be moved to the right (No in step S104), the process proceeds to step S108. Proceed to
- step S108 the sub screen control unit 10 calculates the X coordinate X of the corrected sub screen so that the sub screen is moved to the left or not moved.
- X is calculated by the following equation (3).
- X p ⁇ Ax (3)
- step S ⁇ b> 110 the sub screen control unit 10 indicates that the number of backlight light sources (number of areas) that can be further lit in the X-axis direction (or Y-axis direction) cannot be reduced.
- Set a fixed flag Note that the correction calculation has not yet been performed for the Y-axis direction, which is the vertical direction, but the size fixing flag is set in this way if the size of the sub-screen is changed, the processing described above This is because the number of backlight light sources (number of areas) that are lit in the axial direction can be minimized, but this is worsened.
- step S300 when the size fixing flag is set, the size of the sub screen is fixed in step S300 (if Yes in step S300), and the size of the sub screen in step S400.
- the process of correcting the height is omitted, and the process ends.
- step S112 the sub screen control unit 10 determines whether or not the sub screen should be moved to the right.
- the sub-screen control unit 10 represents the size Lxp of the sub-screen using the natural number b (where b is not more than the size Ax in the X-axis direction of the area) as in the following equation (4): It is determined whether or not the following expression (5) is satisfied.
- Lxp k ⁇ Ax + b (4) b / 2 ⁇ Ax ⁇ Xps (5)
- the size Lxp of the sub-screen is an extra b larger than k times the size of the area. Therefore, if the sub-screen is moved to an appropriate direction on either the right or left side by an appropriate value that is less than or equal to half of the extra length b, the right side of the sub-screen is displayed in the corresponding area with the minimum movement distance. It is possible to match to the position overlapping the right side or the position where the left side of the sub screen overlaps the left side of the corresponding area. Therefore, for example, when moving the sub screen to the right, the movement distance from the (original) reference position of the sub screen to the right side of the area is (Ax ⁇ Xps).
- the right side of the sub screen is moved to the right so that the left side of the sub screen (that is, the X coordinate of the reference coordinates) is aligned with the left side of the corresponding area. It can be said that the movement distance is shorter than moving to the left so as to match. Therefore, when the above equation (5) is satisfied, it is determined that it should be moved to the right.
- moving to the right reduces the movement distance, so when moving to the right, the sub screen is moved to the right, and as described above, the position of the sub screen is greatly moved from the original display position. It is possible to prevent display quality deterioration that may occur.
- step S112 If the result of determination in step S112 is to move to the right (Yes in step S112), the process proceeds to step S114. If the process is to move to the left (No in step S112), the process proceeds to step S120.
- step S114 the sub-screen control unit 10 calculates X, which is the X coordinate among the corrected reference coordinates of the sub-screen so as to move the sub-screen to the right.
- X may be calculated by the above-described equation (2), or may be calculated by adding the moving distance (Ax ⁇ Xps) to the X coordinate Xp before correction.
- step S116 the sub-screen control unit 10 stores the left side, which is the side matched with the left side of the area by the process in step S114, as a fixed side.
- the reason for storing the fixed side is to prevent the position from being changed in the process of correcting the size of the sub-screen, which will be described later, and if the position of the fixed side is moved when the size of the sub-screen is changed. This is because although the number of backlight light sources (number of areas) that are lit in the X-axis direction can be minimized by the above-described processing, this is worsened.
- the X-coordinate correction calculation process in step S100 shown in FIG. 4 ends, and the subsequent Y-coordinate correction calculation process in step S200 starts.
- step S120 the sub screen control unit 10 out of the reference coordinates of the corrected sub screen so as to move the sub screen to the left.
- X that is the X coordinate is calculated. Specifically, X is calculated by the above-described equation (3).
- step S122 the sub-screen control unit 10 stores the right side, which is the side matched with the right side of the area by the process in step S120, as a fixed side.
- the reason for storing this fixed side is as described above.
- the X-coordinate correction calculation process in step S100 shown in FIG. 4 ends, and the subsequent Y-coordinate correction calculation process in step S200 starts.
- a detailed processing procedure for the Y coordinate correction calculation processing in step S200 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
- FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for the Y coordinate correction calculation processing.
- the processes in steps S202 to 222 shown in FIG. 8 have substantially the same contents as the processes in steps S202 to 222 shown in FIG. That is, the processing contents are the same except that the X coordinate is replaced with the Y coordinate, the right is replaced downward, and the left is replaced upward. Therefore, detailed description of these processes is omitted.
- the Y coordinate correction calculation process may be performed first. These arithmetic processes may be performed simultaneously. Moreover, the structure which performs only one of these may be sufficient. This is because the number of lighting in the area in the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction can be reduced by performing only one process.
- a detailed processing procedure for the sub-screen size correction calculation processing in step S400 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
- FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for the sub-screen size correction calculation processing.
- the sub-screen control unit 10 reduces the size of the right side or the left side, which is not the fixed side in the process of step S116 or step S122, by reducing the size.
- the size Lx in the X-axis direction of the sub screen when the position is determined so as to overlap is determined.
- step S404 the sub-screen control unit 10 positions the upper side or the lower side that is not a fixed side in the process of step S216 or step S222 so as to overlap the side of the corresponding area by reducing the size.
- the size Ly in the Y-axis direction of the sub screen is determined. This Ly can also be calculated in the same manner as Lx.
- step S406 the sub-screen control unit 10 determines whether Lx / Lxp is greater than Ly / Lyp. This is to determine whether or not the value of the reduction ratio in the X-axis direction of the sub-screen after the correction before correction is larger than the value of the reduction ratio in the Y-axis direction (vertical direction) of the sub-screen after the correction before correction. In other words, it is determined whether or not the change in the size in the X-axis direction is smaller than the change in the Y-axis direction because the reduction ratio value in the X-axis direction (horizontal direction) is larger. To do.
- step S408 the sub screen control unit 10 determines that the corrected sub screen
- step S410 the sub screen control unit 10 further determines the X of the corrected sub screen.
- the size in the axial direction is determined by the following equation (8) according to the reduction ratio value in the Y-axis direction. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S412.
- Lx Lxp ⁇ Ly / Lyp (8)
- the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction are similarly reduced with the smaller reduction ratio of the size in the X-axis direction and the size in the Y-axis direction.
- a process of reducing the size is performed.
- the aspect ratio of the sub screen is maintained, and display can be performed without deformation.
- the reduction rate with the smaller change is used, it is possible to prevent the display quality from being deteriorated due to a large change in size.
- the number of lighting LEDs that cannot be turned off simply by moving the sub screen is moved on the opposite side (to change the size of the sub screen) without moving the fixed side. This can be further reduced.
- step S412 the sub screen control unit 10 calculates the reference coordinates when the fixed side is the right side or the lower side (the upper left corner of the sub screen).
- the fixed side is the left side or the upper side
- the X coordinate calculated by the process of step S116 and the Y coordinate calculated by the process of step S216 can be used as they are, so it is necessary to calculate the reference coordinate. There is no.
- the multi-screen generating unit 20 stores the sub-screen control information Cs including the corrected position and size received from the sub-screen control unit 10, and the sub-screen including a new input image according to the stored value.

Therefore, of the (i ⁇ j) areas, the number of areas where the sub screen where the LED output value is 0 (non-lighting state) is not displayed is increased compared to before the correction calculation. Therefore, power consumption can be reduced.

Area active drive may be performed.
- the positions and sizes of the sub-screen input images Dv1 to Dv3 included in the multi-screen input image Dv are areas to which each side of each sub-screen corresponds. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the number of LEDs that are turned on during partial display, thereby realizing low power consumption without causing display problems. As described above, even when the display screen is displayed in a dark gradation in a portion other than the multi-screen (because the number of light sources lit at a predetermined luminance or more can be reduced even if the number of lighting is not reduced). Similarly, low power consumption can be realized.
- the position of the sub screen is moved greatly from the original display position by performing processing so that it does not move or changes as much as possible. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a deterioration in display quality that may occur when the size is changed greatly.
- FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure for the X coordinate correction calculation processing in the present modification.
- the processing of steps S502 to S520 shown in FIG. 14 is substantially the same as the processing of steps S102 to S120 shown in FIG.
- the processing in this modification example omits the processing of steps S110, S116, and S116 related to the sub-screen size correction processing, and the processing of steps S518 and S519. Have been added. Therefore, these added processes will be mainly described below, and description of other processes will be omitted.
- step S518 shown in FIG. 14 the sub screen control unit 10 determines whether or not the sub screen should be moved to the left.
- step S112 in the above embodiment, the case where it should not be moved to the right (in the case of No in step S112) is the case where it should be moved to the left, but here it is left even if it is not the case where it should be moved to the right. It is further determined when it should not be moved, that is, when it should not be moved to the right or left.
- the moving distance described above is If it is less than b / 2, it should be appropriate to move it to the left.
- the left side of the sub screen extends beyond the left side of the area and moves to the left adjacent area by moving in this way, the backlight light source corresponding to the left adjacent area is turned on.
- the number of lighting light sources cannot be reduced.
- the condition that does not apply to the area on the left in this way is when Xps is equal to or greater than (Ax ⁇ b). From this, the above formula (9) can be derived.
- b 1, the number of lighting of the backlight source cannot be reduced no matter how the sub screen is moved in the left-right direction. From this, the above equation (10) can be derived.
- step S518 determines whether the result of determination in step S518 is to move left (in the case of Yes in step S518). If the result of determination in step S518 is to move left (in the case of Yes in step S518), the process proceeds to step S520 (performs the same process as step S120) and should not be moved to the left, that is, should not be moved. If (No in step S518), the process proceeds to step S519.
- step S519 the sub-screen control unit 10 cannot reduce the number of lighting of the backlight light source even if the sub-screen is moved. Therefore, the Xp that is the X coordinate of the reference coordinates of the sub-screen before correction is used as it is. The corrected X coordinate X is calculated.
- the multi-screen generation unit 20 stores the sub-screen control information Cs including the corrected position received from the sub-screen control unit 10, and determines the position of the sub-screen including the new input image according to the stored value.
- the multi-screen input image Dv is generated.
- the area is set by simply dividing the screen as described above.
- the area is set to include a portion that overlaps the surrounding area.
- Such an area is also called a search area to distinguish it from a simple divided area.
- search area to distinguish it from a simple divided area.
- FIG. 15 is a diagram simply showing the positional relationship between the area and the LED unit in this modification.
- each LED unit 32 included in the backlight 3 corresponds to each area on a one-to-one basis, and the area is indicated by a dotted line in the drawing.
- the area is set so as to include a portion overlapping the surrounding area.
- the slanted lines in the figure are for easy understanding of this overlap.
- the correction calculation may be performed by regarding the left side of the area A2 adjacent to the left side that is on the right side of the left side of the corresponding area A1 as the left side of the corresponding area A1 in step S114. Further, the correction calculation is performed in the same manner for the other sides. If it does so, since the same correction calculation as the case of the said embodiment can be performed, the same effect can be acquired.
- step S406 shown in FIG. 9 the value of the reduction ratio in the X-axis direction of the sub-screen after the correction before correction is the value of the reduction ratio in the Y-axis direction of the sub-screen after the correction before correction. Is larger (that is, the change in size is smaller), and the change in size is reduced in the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction with a small reduction rate. It may be determined whether the ratio of the corresponding length of the sub screen to the length of the area is greater than the ratio of the corresponding length of the sub screen to the length of the area in the X-axis direction.
- the side where the ratio of the corresponding length of the sub-screen to the length of the area is larger has a smaller number of areas where the side of the sub-screen approaches than the smaller side.
- the horizontal direction in the sub-screen The number of areas to which the side (for example, the upper side) approaches is larger than the number of areas to which the side in the vertical direction (for example, the left side) approaches.
- the side to be moved to reduce the size of the sub screen is a side having a large area to reach, so that more backlight light sources can be turned off. Therefore, in this case, reducing the size of the sub screen in the horizontal direction with the reduction ratio when reducing the size of the sub screen in the vertical direction (perpendicular to the horizontal direction) is more effective than the opposite case. Since many backlight light sources can be turned off, it can be said to be preferable. Therefore, when the above determination method is used instead of step S406, in the above example (the result is the same as the case where it is determined No in step S406), the size of the sub screen is determined by the process in step S410. Is reduced at a reduction ratio of Ly / Lyp.
- the size of the sub screen is reduced in the horizontal and vertical directions at a reduction ratio in the direction orthogonal to the side with the larger ratio of the corresponding side length of the sub screen to the length of the area side. If the size is set, more backlight light sources can be turned off, and low power consumption can be realized.
- step S40 the case where only the X-coordinate correction calculation is performed has been described. Similarly, even when only the sub-screen size correction calculation process (step S40) is performed, the same applies. A partial effect can be obtained.
- the side of the sub screen is aligned with the side of the closest corresponding area.
- the configuration may be such that the side of the sub screen is aligned with the corresponding side of the inner area.
- the direct type or tandem type backlight device in which the LED units are arranged in the X axis direction and the Y axis direction has been described as an example.
- the light source is arranged only in the X axis direction (or Y axis direction).
- the present invention can be similarly applied as long as area active control using an area provided in series in the X-axis direction (or Y-axis direction) is performed. .
- a display element using a material other than liquid crystal may be adopted as long as the light transmittance can be controlled, and the area active is also applied to an image display device including such a display element.
- the present invention can be similarly applied as long as control is performed.
- the present invention is applied to an image display device including a backlight, and is suitable for an image display device such as a liquid crystal display device having a function of controlling the luminance of the backlight for each of a plurality of areas. Yes.

図12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には、マルチ画面入力画像Dv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、本実施形態のサブ画面制御部10によれば、マルチ画面入力画像Dvに含まれるサブ画面入力画像Dv1~Dv3の位置および大きさは、各サブ画面の各辺が対応するエリアの各辺に重なるように設定されるので、部分表示の際に点灯するLEDを低減させることができ、そのことにより表示上の不具合を生ずることなく低消費電力化を実現することができる。なお、前述したように表示画面のうちマルチ画面以外の部分において暗い階調で表示がなされる場合であっても(点灯数が低減しないとしても所定輝度以上で点灯する光源数を低減できるため)同様に低消費電力化を実現することができる。
<5.1 第1の主たる変形例>
上記実施形態において前述したように、図3に示されるステップS100~S400のうち、ステップS100、S200における処理の少なくとも一方が行われるだけでも部分的な消費電力低減効果が得られる。ここで、ステップS100におけるX座標の補正演算のみが行われる場合について図14を参照して説明する。
b/2<Ax-Xps≦b …(9)
b=1 …(10)
上記実施形態において上記エリアは、前述したように画面を単純に分割することにより設定されているが、本変形例では、上記エリアは周囲のエリアと重なる部分を含むように設定される。このようなエリアは単純な分割エリアと区別するために探索エリアとも呼ばれる。以下、このようなエリアと対応するLEDユニット32との位置関係について、図15を参照して説明する。
上記実施形態では、この図9に示されるステップS406において、補正前に対する補正後のサブ画面のX軸方向の縮小率の値が補正前に対する補正後のサブ画面のY軸方向の縮小率の値よりも大きい(すなわち大きさの変化が小さい)か否かを判定し、大きさの変化が小さい縮小率でX軸方向およびY軸方向に縮小するが、この判定に代えて、Y軸方向におけるエリアの長さに対するサブ画面の対応する長さの割合が、X軸方向におけるエリアの長さに対するサブ画面の対応する長さの割合より大きいか否かを判定してもよい。
