Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the display device 1 is a device that takes in a video signal supplied from an external video signal generator and displays a video. The video signal is, for example, data of 12 bits for each of red, green, and blue (RGB).
The display device 1 includes a pre-correction image quality characteristic storage unit 20, a target image quality characteristic storage unit 30, a target image quality characteristic acquisition unit 40, a correction data generation unit 50, a lookup table 60, a display unit 70, and an operation unit. 80 and a control unit 90.
 図1において、表示装置1には画質特性検出部10が接続されている。画質特性検出部10は、例えば光学センサであり、その受光部側を表示部70の表示面に対向して設けた状態で画質特性値を検出する。画質特性値は、表示部70の画質特性を表すデータであり、例えば、ガンマ特性を表す輝度対階調データ、表示画像における白色点(ホワイトポイント)の座標値、色域におけるRGBの各色度座標値である。本実施形態では、画質特性検出部10は、表示部70が表示する非画質補正画像の光束の一部を受光して補正前画質特性値を検出する。非画質補正画像は、画質の補正を行っていない状態で表示部70に表示される画像である。よって、補正前画質特性値は、画質を補正する前の画質特性値である。
 画質特性検出部10は、表示装置1の画質の校正を行うときに設けられるものとしてもよいし、表示部70が発光する光束の一部を常に受光可能に設けられるものとしてもよい。
In FIG. 1, an image quality characteristic detection unit 10 is connected to the display device 1. The image quality characteristic detection unit 10 is an optical sensor, for example, and detects the image quality characteristic value in a state where the light receiving unit side is provided facing the display surface of the display unit 70. The image quality characteristic value is data representing the image quality characteristic of the display unit 70. For example, luminance versus gradation data representing the gamma characteristic, the coordinate value of the white point (white point) in the display image, and each chromaticity coordinate of RGB in the color gamut. Value. In the present embodiment, the image quality characteristic detection unit 10 receives a part of the light flux of the non-image quality corrected image displayed by the display unit 70 and detects the pre-correction image quality characteristic value. The non-image quality corrected image is an image displayed on the display unit 70 in a state where the image quality is not corrected. Therefore, the pre-correction image quality characteristic value is an image quality characteristic value before the image quality is corrected.
The image quality characteristic detection unit 10 may be provided when the image quality of the display device 1 is calibrated, or may be provided so that a part of a light beam emitted from the display unit 70 can always be received.
 表示部70は、ルックアップテーブル60から供給される、補正された映像信号(補正映像信号)または補正されない映像信号(非補正映像信号)を取り込んで映像を表示する。表示部70は、画像を表示する表示パネルを含むものであり、例えば、液晶表示パネル、PDP(Plasma Display Panel)、有機EL(Electro-Luminescence)表示パネル等を含んで実現される。なお、表示部70は、D/A(デジタル/アナログ)変換回路とCRT(Cathode Ray Tube)とを含んで実現されるものであってもよい。 The display unit 70 captures the corrected video signal (corrected video signal) or the uncorrected video signal (uncorrected video signal) supplied from the lookup table 60 and displays the video. The display unit 70 includes a display panel that displays an image. For example, the display unit 70 includes a liquid crystal display panel, a PDP (Plasma Display Panel), an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display panel, and the like. The display unit 70 may be realized by including a D / A (digital / analog) conversion circuit and a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube).
 表示部70は、長期間にわたって映像を表示することにより、表示パネルやCRTの劣化が発生して画質特性が変化することがある。よって、表示装置1は、表示部70の画質特性が変化する可能性がある使用期間を経過するたびに、画質の校正処理が実施される。本実施形態では、当該使用期間を例えば1000時間とする。 When the display unit 70 displays an image for a long period of time, the display panel or the CRT may be deteriorated to change image quality characteristics. Therefore, the display device 1 performs an image quality calibration process every time a use period during which the image quality characteristics of the display unit 70 may change is passed. In the present embodiment, the use period is, for example, 1000 hours.

The “computer-readable recording medium” refers to a portable recording medium such as a flexible disk, a magneto-optical disk, an optical disk, and a memory card, and a storage device such as a magnetic hard disk built in the computer system. Furthermore, the “computer-readable recording medium” dynamically holds a program for a short time like a communication line when transmitting a program via a network such as the Internet or a communication line such as a telephone line. In this case, it may include a device that holds a program for a certain period of time, such as a volatile memory inside a computer system serving as a server device or a client. Further, the above program may be for realizing a part of the functions described above, or may be realized by a combination with the program already recorded in the computer system. .
 以上、本発明の実施の形態について図面を参照して詳述したが、具体的な構成はその実施形態に限られるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲の設計等も含まれる。
 例えば、図2の校正手順では補正データの作成を行わず、補正前画質特性値の記憶だけを行うことが考えられる。この場合は、後日、特定のプロファイルデータが指定された時点で補正データを計算する。指定された時点とは、例えば、電源投入時やユーザによる画質設定変更時である。補正データを記憶するルックアップテーブルは、現在表示されているプロファイルデータの容量だけを有すればよい。このため、プロファイルデータの数が多くなった場合の、ルックアップテーブル数や計算時間等、実装コストを削減することができる。
As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail with reference to drawings, the specific structure is not restricted to that embodiment, The design of the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention, etc. are included.
For example, in the calibration procedure of FIG. 2, it is conceivable that correction data is not created but only the image quality characteristic value before correction is stored. In this case, correction data is calculated later when specific profile data is designated. The designated time is, for example, when the power is turned on or when the image quality setting is changed by the user. The lookup table that stores the correction data need only have the capacity of the currently displayed profile data. For this reason, when the number of profile data increases, the mounting cost such as the number of lookup tables and the calculation time can be reduced.
 本発明は、表示装置、例えば、表示パネルを含む直視型の表示装置、CRTを含む表示装置、投射型投影装置であるプロジェクタに利用可能である。 The present invention is applicable to a display device, for example, a direct-view display device including a display panel, a display device including a CRT, and a projector that is a projection-type projection device.
