Abstract
Description
このため、輝度を一定に維持する表示装置では、表示装置が経時変化しても、出荷時のホワイトバランスに対する補正値を用いて補正することで、装置色度と設定色度との色度の差を一定に保つことで、輝度の低下を低減していた。
以下、図面を用いて本発明の実施形態について詳細に説明する。
図1は、本実施形態に係る表示装置1の概略構成のブロック図である。図1に示すように表示装置1は、設定輝度指定部10、駆動部20、バックライト30、光検出部40、設定色度指定部50、色度制御部60、ホワイトバランス補正部70、および表示部80を備えている。
なお、光検出部40が検出するタイミングは、予め定められている周期、予め定められている日時、ランダム、利用者により指定されたとき等であってもよい。
なお、装置色度推定部601は、光検出部40が出力した検出色度を設定色度としてBL劣化推測部602に出力するようにしてもよい。
点111は、設定色度を示し、点112は、装置色度を示す。また、点113は、補正後の色度を示す。
バックライト30の劣化が発生し、kが0.5の場合、表示色度は、0.5×設定色度+0.5×装置色度である。すなわち、設定色度と装置色度が同じ比率で混合され、点113の位置は、点111と点112とを結ぶ直線の中間である。換言すると、表示色度補正部604は、所定の色空間において、目標色度と無補正時色度とを結ぶ線分に載るように補正値である表示色度を生成する。なお、ここで、目標色度と無補正時色度とを結ぶ線分に載るとは、図3のように、点111と点112とを結ぶ線分、およびこの線分の近傍も含む。また、この点111と点112とを結ぶ線分は、図3では直線の例を示したが、これに限られず、曲線であってもよい。
さらに使用時間が長くなってバックライト30の劣化が進みkが0になった場合、表示色度は、装置色度に等しい。すなわち、劣化が進んだ状態では、点113の位置は、点112の位置と等しい。
(ステップS1)装置色度推定部601は、光検出部40が出力した検出色度と、設定色度指定部50が出力した設定色度とに基づいて、周知の手法によって装置色度を推定し、推定した装置色度をBL劣化推測部602に出力する。
すなわち一般的な表示装置では、初期の装置色度である点201に対する点203の色差と、長時間使用した後の装置色度である点202に対する点205の色差はほぼ同一である。同様に点201に対する点206の色差と、前記点202に対する点209の色差もほぼ同一である。
このため、装置色度と表示色度の色差がバックライト30の劣化に依存して変化する。すなわち設定色度によっては、長時間使用に伴い、装置色度と表示色度との色差が拡大していく。この場合は色度補正による輝度損失が大きくなる。これを補い表示装置に表示する白点の輝度を維持するよう、バックライト30の出力を増加するため、短時間でバックライト30の出力上限に達していた。この結果、所定の輝度を維持できる時間(バックライト30の出力上限に達するまでの時間)が短くなっていた。
図9において、横軸は使用時間、曲線401の縦軸はビデオゲイン、曲線402の縦軸はバックライトの輝度、曲線403の縦軸はバックライトの駆動電力、曲線404の縦軸は表示輝度である。
また、曲線402は、指定輝度を得るために必要なバックライト30の輝度の使用時間に伴う変化を表している。また、曲線402のように、初期のバックライト30の輝度はc1である。
また、曲線403は、バックライト30の劣化に伴うバックライト30の駆動電力の変化を表している。また、曲線403のように、初期のバックライト30の駆動電力はp1である。
また、曲線404のように、初期の表示輝度はc3である。なお、初期の表示輝度c3は、予め利用者により指定された指定輝度、または予め表示装置1に設定されている指定輝度である。
上述した色度の補正を本実施形態のように行わない従来の表示装置では、図10に示すように、初期のバックライト30の輝度を最大輝度に制御し、所定の輝度になるように映像信号の大きさを制御していた。従来の表示装置では、このような使用方法のため、前述したように駆動部が発する熱が大きく、使用時間t11において駆動電力が飽和する。
また、本実施形態の表示装置において、生成部は、劣化値で示される劣化の度合いが大きくなるに従って、設定色度と表示色度との色差を大きくし、装置色度と表示色度との色差を小さくするように表示色度を生成する。
また、本実施形態の表示装置は、映像信号のゲインまたはバックライトを駆動する駆動値を、生成部が生成した表示色度に基づいて調整する映像信号調整部を備える。
図11は、本実施形態に係るBL劣化の値を説明する図である。図11において、横軸はバックライト30のLED31が劣化していない度合い、縦軸はBL劣化の値であるkを示している。なお、劣化していない度合いは、0%が劣化していないときの度合いであり、劣化に従って100%に近づいていく。
BL劣化推測部602は、図11の示した劣化の度合いに対するBL劣化の値であるkの値を関連づけたLUT(ルックアップテーブル)を、予め記憶部603に記憶させておくようにしてもよい。そして、BL劣化推測部602は、駆動部20が出力した駆動値に基づいて、記憶部603に記憶されているLUTを用いてBL劣化の値を推定するようにしてもよい。
第1実施形態では、表示装置1が、表示色度に応じてビデオゲインの調整を行う例を説明したが、これに限られない。本実施形態では、表示色度の生成を、例えば映像信号を出力する装置が行う例を説明する。
記憶部914には、設定輝度と設定色度とが記憶される。
色度制御部60aは、記憶部914に記憶されている設定色度、表示装置902から受信した駆動値、および取得した検出色度に基づいて、表示色度を算出し、算出した表示色度をホワイトバランス補正部70aに出力する。なお、色度制御部60aの構成は、第1実施形態で説明した色度制御部60と同様である。このため、色度制御部60aは、表示色度の算出を、第1実施形態と同様に、式(2)を用いて算出する。また、第1実施形態と同様に、算出に用いるBL劣化の値は、直線補間による式(1)に限られず、自部内に記憶されている図11に示したような劣化度合いとk値とが関連づけられているLUTを用いて算出するようにしてもよい。
制御信号入出力部912は、記憶部914に記憶されている設定輝度と、カラーセンサ905が出力した検出値とを、制御信号ケーブル904を介して表示装置902に送信する。制御信号入出力部912は、表示装置902が備えるバックライト30aを駆動するための駆動値を示す情報を、制御信号ケーブル904を介して表示装置902から受信する。
駆動部20a、バックライト30a、および表示部80aは、それぞれ図1に示した機能部のうち駆動部20、バックライト30、および表示部80に相当する機能部である。
バックライト30aは、駆動部20aが出力する駆動値によって発光する。
制御信号入出力部922は、駆動部20aが出力した駆動値に基づく駆動値を示す情報を生成し、生成した駆動値を示す情報を、制御信号ケーブル904を介して映像出力装置901に送信する。また、制御信号入出力部922は、設定輝度と検出値とを、制御信号ケーブル904を介して映像出力装置901から受信する。
表示部80aは、映像信号入力部921が映像出力装置901から受信した映像信号を表示する。
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。
