FIG. 4 shows a state in which the liquid crystal display device 200 is looked down from above when the liquid crystal display device 200 is arranged so that the horizontal direction is horizontal.
 図4に示す液晶表示装置200は、その表示画面の横方向の長さ(幅)が、例えば、1.7mである。ユーザが、その表示画面に対して、横方向の中央の位置において画面の正面に向かって立っているとする。このとき、ユーザは液晶表示装置200から0.5m離れた位置にいる。図示の通り、視点Pと液晶表示装置200の端部とを結んだ場合、その角度は60°である。つまり、液晶表示装置200の端部に配置された画素と視点Pとの極角θは30°である。
 この場合、ユーザの視点Pと液晶表示装置200の表示画面の中央の位置は、その位置関係において、視野角特性による色変化が生じない。しかし、液晶表示装置200の表示画面の端部の方では、極角θがきつくなってしまい、視野角特性による色変化が生じる。
 このような場合、表示画面の視野角特性を、ユーザの位置に応じて、全ての画素に対して一様に補正をかけたとしても、ユーザの視点Pに応じて全画面の表示内容の補正を適切に行うことができない。
The liquid crystal display device 200 shown in FIG. 4 has a horizontal length (width) of the display screen of 1.7 m, for example. It is assumed that the user stands toward the front of the screen at the horizontal center position with respect to the display screen. At this time, the user is at a position 0.5 m away from the liquid crystal display device 200. As shown in the figure, when the viewpoint P and the end of the liquid crystal display device 200 are connected, the angle is 60 °. That is, the polar angle θ between the pixel arranged at the end of the liquid crystal display device 200 and the viewpoint P is 30 °.
In this case, the position of the user's viewpoint P and the center position of the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 200 does not change in color due to viewing angle characteristics in the positional relationship. However, at the edge of the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 200, the polar angle θ becomes tight, and a color change occurs due to viewing angle characteristics.
In such a case, even if the viewing angle characteristics of the display screen are uniformly corrected for all pixels according to the position of the user, the display content of the entire screen is corrected according to the user's viewpoint P. Cannot be done properly.
 本願発明は、上述の通り、画素毎に視野角特性補正係数に基づく補正を相対位置情報に応じて行うため、図4に示すような場合であって、液晶表示装置200の表示画面の端部であって、ユーザの視野角に応じて適切に補正された映像を表示することができる。
 なお、測定データによると、視野角特性が良い液晶表示装置にて全白画面の色座標を比べた場合でも、Δxyで約0.010の差が発生している。人間は、0.003の色座標の差が知覚できることから、明確な白色のズレを認識することになる。
 これらの問題は、安価な方式の液晶表示装置の使用や、中間階調の表示などで、より顕著に現れる。これに対し、本願発明は、人感センサ等の検出部102により観測者の顔の位置を位置関係を示す情報を検出し、各ピクセルと観測者(視点P)との角度を計算して、表面で見たときと同じ見え方になるように色を再計算する。
Since the present invention performs correction based on the viewing angle characteristic correction coefficient for each pixel according to the relative position information as described above, the present invention is a case as shown in FIG. 4, and is the end of the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 200. Thus, it is possible to display an image that is appropriately corrected according to the viewing angle of the user.
According to the measurement data, even when the color coordinates of the all white screen are compared in a liquid crystal display device with good viewing angle characteristics, a difference of about 0.010 occurs in Δxy. Since a human can perceive a color coordinate difference of 0.003, he / she recognizes a clear white shift.
These problems appear more prominently when using inexpensive liquid crystal display devices or displaying halftones. On the other hand, the present invention detects information indicating the positional relationship of the position of the observer's face by the detection unit 102 such as a human sensor, calculates the angle between each pixel and the observer (viewpoint P), Recalculate the color so that it looks the same as it looks on the surface.
 なお、本発明に係る視野角補正装置100は、極めて短時間に補正処理を行い、リアルタイムに近い時間差で、入力する映像信号を液晶表示装置200に表示させることが好ましい。これにより、ユーザが表示画面の前を移動して、視点Pが変動する場合であっても、画素毎に視野角特性による色変化を補正した映像を表示することができる。つまり、ユーザが液晶表示装置200の表示画面のどの位置からみてもユーザの位置にあわせて視野角が補正された映像を表示させることができる。 Note that it is preferable that the viewing angle correction apparatus 100 according to the present invention performs correction processing in an extremely short time, and displays an input video signal on the liquid crystal display device 200 with a time difference close to real time. Thereby, even when the user moves in front of the display screen and the viewpoint P fluctuates, it is possible to display an image in which the color change due to the viewing angle characteristic is corrected for each pixel. That is, it is possible to display an image whose viewing angle is corrected according to the position of the user regardless of the position on the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 200.

 この問題に対し、第1実施形態と同様に、視野角特性補正係数による補正を画面Aと画面Bのそれぞれに独立にかけることで、両者共に正面から見たときと同様な色表現を得ることができる。
In this case, as described above, since the viewing angle characteristics of the screen that can be seen differ depending on the user's standing position, even if the same image is displayed on the screen A and the screen B, the appearance of the colors is different. .

The first viewing angle correction unit 141 inputs relative position information corresponding to the viewpoint P1 and screen information corresponding to the viewpoint P1 (relative position information) from the detection unit 102. The first viewing angle correction unit 141 is a correction value of color coordinates to be corrected based on a viewing angle characteristic determined in advance according to the relative positional relationship between the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 1200 and the human face. A certain viewing angle characteristic correction coefficient is acquired based on the relative position information detected by the detection unit 102 with reference to the storage unit 103.

 なお、観測者の人数および表示画面内の画面の枚数は問わず、2組以上(N)でも可能とする。また、表示される映像についても、同一の映像ソースか、異なる映像ソースの組合せとするかは問わない。つまり、同一の映像データを映像分配部106が複製して分配するのではなく、入力部101から入力する映像データを当該映像データに対応付けられた画面情報や入力するタイミングに応じて予め決められている第1視野角補正部141、第2視野角補正部142、・・・、第N視野角補正部140+Nのうちの任意の視野角補正部に対して、映像分配部106が当該映像データを分配するものであってもよい。 It should be noted that the number of observers and the number of screens in the display screen are not limited, and two or more sets (N) are possible. Further, the displayed video may be the same video source or a combination of different video sources.

 視点が複数の場合、そのうちの1つの視点について視野角特性による補正を行った場合、視聴位置を固定してしまう。このため、その他の位置から見た場合は色の見え方が破綻してしまう。例えば姿勢を変えた場合、あるいは、第三者から見た場合は、本来表現されるべき色表示を確認できない場合がある。
 本実施形態によれば、「視聴位置の自由度」および「2つ以上の視点を考慮できない」という課題を解決することができる。
When there are a plurality of viewpoints, the viewing position is fixed when one of the viewpoints is corrected by the viewing angle characteristic. For this reason, when viewed from other positions, the color appearance is broken. For example, when the posture is changed or viewed from a third party, the color display that should be originally expressed may not be confirmed.
According to the present embodiment, it is possible to solve the problems of “degree of freedom of viewing position” and “cannot consider two or more viewpoints”.

In the second embodiment, it is necessary to arrange the screen display so that it does not overlap with the screen display of other observers. In this method, however, it is possible to arrange the screen display freely because it is displayed alternately by dividing time. Become.
 図8Aは、観測者aのメガネのシャッターがONのときの液晶表示装置1200の表示画面を示す。つまり、観測者aが液晶表示装置1200の表示画面をみることができるタイミングにおいて、液晶表示装置1200の表示画面には、画面A´に対応する画像が表示されている。
