図1は、本発明の第1実施形態による表示装置1の構成を示すブロック図である。表示装置1は、信号処理部10、バックライト11、表示部12、光学センサ13、記憶部14、及び光学測定器15を備えている。信号処理部10は、入力される入力映像信号に対して所定の信号処理を施し、処理映像信号として表示部12に供給する。また、信号処理部10は、処理後映像信号の明るさに基づく明るさ制御信号をバックライト11に供給する。
表示部12は、例えば液晶表示器からなり、信号処理部10からの処理映像信号を画面に表示する。
光学センサ13は、表示部12の表面の隅に取り付けられており、測定対象部12aを測定し、測定値を信号処理部10に供給する。
光学測定器15は、校正時に表示部12の中央部を測定し、測定値を所定のインターフェース(コネクタ)を介して信号処理部10に供給する。すなわち、光学測定器15は、通常の使用時には、接続された状態のまま所定の場所に収納されるか、着脱可能とすることで、表示装置1から外され、所定の場所に収納される。
また、信号処理部10は、表示部12の輝度を黒輝度から白輝度まで変化させたときに前記センサによる測定された測定値のうち、黒輝度を測定したときの測定値と、記憶部14に記憶されている黒輝度との差分に基づいて、センサ(光学センサ13)による測定される測定値を校正する。
一方、このような変化の要素は、画面端であるための要素がほとんどであるので、表示部12の中央部における輝度は、光学測定器15で測定した値からほとんど変化していないとみなせる。このため、本発明では、光学測定器15が測定した略中央の輝度特性を用いて、光学センサ13が測定した表示部12における略周辺部の輝度を校正する。
図2は、本第1実施形態の動作(校正時)を説明するためのフローチャートである。なお、図2に示すフローチャートは、光学センサ13、光学測定器15による測定後に実行される。すなわち、図2に示すフローチャートを実行する時点で、記憶部14には、光学センサ13からの測定値M(0)~M(max)、及び後述する光学測定器15からの測定値である黒輝度値BK0が記憶されているものとする。
(ステップSa2)次に、信号処理部10は、光学センサ13の測定値である測定値M(0)~M(max)を記憶部14から読み出す。
(ステップSa5)次に、信号処理部10は、Mo(i)=M(i)+Offsetを算出する。
(ステップSa6)次に、信号処理部10は、i=MAX(最大)になったか否かを判別する。信号処理部10は、i=MAX(最大)になったと判別した場合(ステップSa6のYES)、ステップSa8に進み、i=MAXに達していないと判別した場合(ステップSa6のNO)、ステップSa7に進む。
以下、信号処理部10は、iがMAXに達するまで、iをインクリメントしながら、ステップSa5で、Mo(i)=M(i)+Offsetを算出し、M(1)~M(max-1)に対して、Offsetだけ校正していく。
図3は、校正後のGSDF(Grayscale Standard Display Function(グレイスケール標準表示関数))カーブを説明する図である。図4は、光モレの変化などの要因で、画面ムラ特性などが変化した場合のGSDFカーブを説明する図である。図5は、本第1実施形態による補正方法を用いた場合のGSDFカーブを説明する図である。図3~図5において、横軸は、JND indexというスケールであり、JND indexの1ステップの差が、人が識別できる最小の輝度差に対応している。縦軸は、(ΔL/L)を表している。なお、Lは輝度を表している。なお、GSDFカーブとは、DICOM規格の14章(DICOM3.0 Part14)で規定されているグレイスケール標準表示関数カーブである。
図3~図5において、曲線g32、g42及びg52は、規格値(理想値)に対する+30[%(パーセント)]を表し、曲線g33、g43及びg53は、規格値に対する+15[%]を表している。曲線g34、g44及びg54は、規格値を表している。曲線g35、g45及びg55は、規格値に対する-15[%]を表し、曲線g36、g46及びg56は、規格値に対する-30[%]を表している。
なお、管理グレード1とは、「医用画像表示用モニタの品質管理に関するガイドライン」(社団法人 日本画像医療システム工業会、JESRA X-0093-2005)で決められている医療用モニタに対するものである。具体的には、最大輝度が170[cd/m2]以上、輝度比が250以上、コントラスト応答が±15[%]以内である。
次に、本発明の第2実施形態について説明する。
図6は、本発明の第2実施形態による表示装置1aの構成を示すブロック図である。なお、図1に対応する部分には同一の符号を付けて説明を省略する。本第2実施形態では、上述した第1実施形態と同様に、校正時に、信号処理部10aは、表示部12への処理後映像信号を制御することにより、黒~白へ変化するように表示を変化させる。このとき、光学センサ13は、表示部12の画面隅の測定対象部12aにおける黒~白への変化を測定し、測定値M(0)~M(max)を信号処理部10aに供給する。また、光学測定器15は、表示部12の中央部における黒~白への変化を測定し、黒輝度、白輝度を信号処理部10aに供給する。光学測定器15で測定された、白輝度と黒輝度からはコントラスト比Cが算出される。光学センサ13により測定された、輝度M(0)~M(max)、及び光学測定器15によるコントラスト比Cは、記憶部14に記憶される。なお、コントラスト比とは、Lmax(白を表示したときの輝度)/Lmin(黒を表示したときの輝度)である。
図7は、本第2実施形態の動作(校正時)を説明するためのフローチャートである。なお、図7に示すフローチャートは、光学センサ13、光学測定器15による測定後に実行される。すなわち、図7に示すフローチャートを実行する時点で、記憶部14には、光学センサ13からの測定値M(0)~M(max)、及び後述する光学測定器15からの測定値から得られたコントラスト比Cが記憶されているものとする。
(ステップSb2)次に、信号処理部10aは、光学センサ13の測定値M(0)~M(max)を記憶部14aから読み出す。
(ステップSb4)次に、信号処理部10aは、白輝度Wcとコントラスト比Cから黒輝度BKcを算出する。
(ステップSb6)次に、信号処理部10aは、Mc(i)=(M(i)-M(0))/(M(max)-M(0))×(Wc-BKc)+BKcを算出する。
(ステップSb7)次に、信号処理部10aは、i=MAX-1になったか否かを判別する。信号処理部10aは、i=MAX-1になったと判別した場合(ステップSb7のYES)、ステップSb9に進み、i=MAX-1に達していないと判別した場合(ステップSb7のNO)、ステップSa8に進む。
以下、信号処理部10aは、iがMAX-1に達するまで、iをインクリメントしながら、ステップSb6で、Mc(i)=(M(i)-M(0))/(M(max)-M(0))×(Wc-BKc)+BKcを算出し、M(1)~M(max-1)に対して、コントラスト比Cに基づいて校正していく。
図8に示すように、上述した本第2実施形態によるコントラスト比を用いた補正によれば、コントラスト応答の規格値である±15[%]の中に入ることになる。
また、「コンピュータシステム」は、WWWシステムを利用している場合であれば、ホームページ提供環境(あるいは表示環境)も含むものとする。
また、「コンピュータ読み取り可能な記録媒体」とは、フレキシブルディスク、光磁気ディスク、ROM(Read Only Memory)、CD-ROM等の可搬媒体、USB(Universal Serial Bus) I/F(インタフェース)を介して接続されるUSBメモリ、コンピュータシステムに内蔵されるハードディスク等の記憶装置のことをいう。さらに「コンピュータ読み取り可能な記録媒体」とは、サーバやクライアントとなるコンピュータシステム内部の揮発性メモリのように、一定時間プログラムを保持しているものも含むものとする。また上記プログラムは、前述した機能の一部を実現するためのものであっても良く、さらに前述した機能をコンピュータシステムにすでに記録されているプログラムとの組み合わせで実現できるものであっても良い。
