- FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the signal processing unit of the present embodiment, and shows details of the internal configuration of the image processing unit 2 and the laser driver 4 of FIG.
- an image signal input from the outside of the image processing unit 2 is input to the image quality correction unit 20.
- the image quality correction unit 20 performs image distortion correction caused by scanning of the MEMS scanning mirror 7 and gradation adjustment of an image by LUT.
- the tone adjustment of the image by the LUT performed by the image quality correction unit 20 is based on the LUT selection signal 27 from the light emission control unit 22, the image adjustment is performed on the image signal input from the outside, and the correction to the timing adjustment unit 21 is performed.
- An image signal 28 is transmitted.
- the timing adjustment unit 21 generates a horizontal synchronization signal and a vertical synchronization signal from the corrected image signal 28 input from the image quality correction unit 20, and sends it to the MEMS driver 8 and the light emission control unit 22. Further, the image signal is temporarily stored in the frame memory 3.
- the image signal written in the frame memory 3 is read by a read signal generated by the timing adjustment unit 21 and synchronized with the horizontal synchronization signal and the vertical synchronization signal.
- the image signal in the frame memory 3 is read with a delay of one frame with respect to the input image signal.
- the light emission control unit 22 sets the current to the current gain circuit 24 and the threshold current adjustment circuit 25 as a drive signal for the laser driver 4 in order to adjust the amplification factor of the amplifier 9 and determine the current to be passed through the LD. Do.

Have a role. Detailed operations of the light emission control unit 22 and the APC will be described later.
- the read image signal is input to the line memory 23.
- the line memory 23 takes in an image signal in one horizontal period and sequentially reads out the image signal in the next horizontal period.
- the reason for once relaying in the line memory 23 is as follows.
- the read clock frequency of the frame memory 3 may be different from the clock frequency when the image signal is transmitted to the laser driver 4 side. For this reason, once the image signal of one horizontal period is taken in by the line memory 23 at the read clock frequency of the frame memory 3, the process of reading from the line memory 23 at the transmission clock frequency of the image signal is performed. If the readout clock frequency of the frame memory 3 matches the transmission clock frequency of the image signal, the line memory 23 becomes unnecessary.
- the image signal read from the line memory 23 is supplied to the laser driver 4.
- the threshold current adjustment circuit 25 adjusts a threshold current that determines the lower limit value of light emitted by the semiconductor lasers 5a to 5c in accordance with the threshold current value set by the light emission control unit 22. In other words, the threshold current adjustment circuit 25 generates an offset component of the current value flowing through the semiconductor lasers 5a to 5c.
- the current gain circuit 24 controls the current value flowing through the laser light source 5 by multiplying the image signal input from the line memory 23 by a current gain for converting the image signal value into a current value. .
- the current gain is obtained by the light emission control unit 22 and set in the current gain circuit 24.
- the current value 26 that actually flows through the semiconductor lasers 5a to 5c includes the threshold current value set by the threshold current adjustment circuit 25, the current gain set by the current gain circuit 24, and the signal current value corresponding to the image signal.
- FIG. 3 is a characteristic diagram showing an example of the light quantity-forward current characteristic of the semiconductor laser.
- the semiconductor laser has a characteristic that the amount of light sharply increases with a certain threshold current Ith1 as a boundary.
- the amount of change in the amount of light with respect to the current is not constant, and has nonlinear characteristics as depicted by R1.
- the current control range used when forming a bright image is desirably a range from the threshold current Ith1 to the current Im at which the light amount Lm is obtained. That is, when the image signal is 8 bits (maximum 255), the current gain circuit is set so that the forward current is Ith1 when the image signal is 0 or 1, and the maximum forward current is Im when the image signal is 255.
- the light emission control unit 22 controls the threshold current adjustment circuit 25 so that the current value becomes Ith1, and the current gain circuit 24 sets a current gain of (Im ⁇ Ith1) / 255.
- the current gain circuit 24 sets a current gain of (Im ⁇ Ith1) / 255.
- the amount of change in the amount of light with respect to the current of the semiconductor laser in the current control range 1 shown in FIG. 3 is not constant, and has a nonlinear characteristic drawn by R1.
- the light amount has a predetermined change amount with respect to a constant change amount of the image.
- the output light amount for the input image signal becomes linear.
- the output light quantity may be created not only to change linearly but also to have a general gamma characteristic.
- the dimming operation will be described with reference to FIG.
- a laser projection display device when used as an in-vehicle display device, a bright image (maximum light amount Lm) may be projected using a large amount of light that can be projected by the laser projection display device in a daytime bright environment.
- the current control range 1 shown in FIG. 3 may be used as the current control range for driving the semiconductor laser.
- the laser projection display device needs to be switched immediately so as to project an image having brightness suitable for the environment around the vehicle body. That is, a dimming operation is required in which the light intensity of the display image of the laser projection display device is changed according to the surrounding environment.
- the normal operation means a state in which a dimming request signal is not input, and is a state in which APC described later is performed.
- the current gain circuit 24 and the threshold current adjustment circuit 25 are controlled so that the forward current is Ith1 when the image signal is 0 or 1, and the maximum forward current when the image signal is 255 is I1. More specifically, the light emission control unit 22 controls the threshold current adjusting circuit 25 so that the current value becomes Ith1, and the current gain circuit 24 sets a current gain of (I1-Ith1) / 255.
- the current of Ith1 flows to the semiconductor laser, and when the image signal is 255, the current of I1 flows to the semiconductor laser, and the number of gradations of the image signal
- the brightness of the display image can be changed without impairing the image quality.
- the LUT for the current control range 1 and the LUT for the current control range 2 have different table shapes, so that a LUT for the current control range 2 is required separately from the LUT for the current control range 1.
- preparing a plurality of LUTs is not particularly problematic. For example, when outputting a bright image (maximum light amount is Lm), the current control range 1 and an LUT corresponding to the current control range 1 are used, and an image having a brightness of 1/4 (maximum light amount is Lm / 4). ) Is output, the light emission control unit 22 instantaneously switches the image quality correction unit 20 to use the current control range 2 and another LUT corresponding to the current control range 2.
- the current control range 1 in which the maximum light amount is Lm and the current control range 2 in which the maximum light amount is Lm / 4 have been described.
- the present invention is not limited to this.
- a plurality of maximum light amounts, an LUT, a threshold current amount set in the threshold current adjustment circuit 25, and a current gain value set in the current gain circuit 24 are stored in a storage area (not shown).
- Switching may be performed according to a dimming request signal sent out by the CPU 12.
- the light quantity-forward current characteristics of a semiconductor laser greatly change as the temperature changes. Therefore, in the dimming operation, even if the threshold current amount and the current gain value stored in advance shown in FIG. 4 are set in the threshold current adjustment circuit 25 and the current gain circuit 24, the intended light amount is not always obtained. Absent. Another possible method is to measure the temperature of the semiconductor laser and set it after converting the threshold current amount and current gain value stored in advance using the conversion coefficient according to the temperature. It is difficult to measure the temperature of the laser itself, particularly the temperature of the chip portion of the semiconductor laser that affects the temperature characteristics.
- FIG. 5 shows the relationship between the threshold current and the average current amount of the displayed image when the temperature near the semiconductor laser is constant.
- the average current amount of the display image is obtained by dividing the total current amount of each pixel in the display image by the total number of pixels, and is hereinafter referred to as ACL (Average Current Level).
- ACL Average Current Level
- the dimming operation for changing the display light amount needs to consider not only the light amount-forward current characteristics of the semiconductor laser when performing the dimming operation, but also the amount of change in the ACL of the display image. is there.
- the light amount-forward current characteristic of the semiconductor laser and the amount of change in the ACL of the display image are taken into consideration during the dimming operation. Thereby, the white balance change of the display image by light control operation
- a specific operation example will be described focusing on the operation of the light emission control unit 22.
- FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the dimming process of the present embodiment.
- FIG. 6 shows a flowchart in the case where the current control range of the display image before the start of the dimming process is the current control range 1 and a dimming request signal for changing to the current control range 2 where the maximum light quantity is Lm / 4 is input. ing.
- the light emission control unit 22 resets the variable i (St100).
- the variable i operates as a frame number counter and operates as a counter that controls the number of times the light intensity is acquired for the dimming operation.
- the light emission control unit 22 increments the variable i (St102).
- the light intensity of the semiconductor laser is acquired (St103). The acquisition of the laser light intensity is performed during the blanking period while avoiding the display period so as not to affect the display image.
- FIG. 7 is an example of the light quantity-forward current characteristic of the semiconductor laser.
- R1 is a characteristic in FIG. 3
- U1 is a characteristic in a certain temperature state when the dimming request signal is received.
- the light emission control unit 22 sets the threshold current and current gain value stored in advance as shown in FIG. 4, which are drive signals of the laser driver 4, in the threshold current adjustment circuit 25 and the current gain circuit 24 (FIG. 4). 7 A current range).
- at least one forward current value It corresponding to an arbitrary image signal is applied to the semiconductor laser, and the light intensity Lt ′ is obtained.
- the variable i is compared with a predetermined number N that controls the number of times the light intensity is acquired for the dimming operation (St104), If the variable i is not equal to the predetermined number N, the process proceeds to St101. Needless to say, when shifting from St104 to St101, the display image is returned to the current control range 1 which is the current control range of the display image before the dimming process is started. When the variable i is equal to the predetermined number N, the process proceeds to the current control range 2 changing process 1 (St105).
- the threshold current and current gain of the semiconductor laser are calculated based on the light intensity obtained in St103, and the current control range 2 is changed. More specifically, the threshold current Ith1 ′ and the current amount Im ′ at which the light amount is Lm / 4 are calculated from the light amount-forward current characteristics of the U1 semiconductor laser obtained in the current range A in FIG.
- the current control range 2 is determined to be B in FIG.
- the ACL of the display image is acquired.
- the ACL value can be calculated from the set values of the threshold current and the current gain of the display image by detecting APL (Average Picture Level) obtained by dividing the total of each pixel level of the display image by the total number of pixels.
- the ACL change amount before and after the light control process is calculated using the ACL of the display image (St107). Since the content of the display image does not change before and after the dimming process, the ACL value after the dimming process is calculated using the APL of the display image and the current control range 2 calculated by St105, as in the calculation of the ACL of the display image. By calculating, the amount of ACL change before and after dimming is obtained. After obtaining the ACL change amount, the process proceeds to the current control range 2 changing process 2 (St108).
- the relationship between the threshold current and the average current amount of the display image shown in FIG. 5 is stored in a storage area (not shown), and the ACL change amount is obtained by referring to the storage area.
- a change in the accompanying threshold current is calculated.
- the current control range 2 is updated by adding / subtracting the change in the threshold current to / from the current control range 2 obtained in St105. For example, if the change amount of the threshold current accompanying the change amount of the ACL in FIG. 7 is ⁇ I, the current control range 2 is a current range C that is shifted from the current range B by ⁇ I.
- display light quantity changing processing is performed to set the determined current control range 2 for a display image (St109).
- an acceleration flag for increasing the threshold current determination process during normal operation is set (St110).
- speeding up is shortening the execution cycle of the APC process during normal operation.
- the display light amount changing process (St109) is so-called feedforward control in which the current control range is changed based on the relationship between the threshold current stored in a storage area (not shown) and the average current amount of the display image in accordance with the amount of change in ACL. For this reason, it is difficult to deal with all of the LD degradation with time and individual variations of the LD, and it does not always match the target light amount every time.
- the temperature change of the chip portion of the semiconductor laser also changes with a time constant immediately after the light control process. It is possible to cope with the change in the light output characteristics due to the temperature change by increasing the speed of the APC processing.
- the threshold current determination process during normal operation will be described later.
- the light emission control unit 22 After setting the speed-up flag, the light emission control unit 22 resets the variable j (St111).
- the variable j also operates as a frame number counter, similarly to the variable i, and operates as a counter that controls a period during which the speed-up flag is valid.
- the light emission control unit 22 increments the variable j (St112). Thereafter, a period during which the speed-up flag is valid is determined and compared with a predetermined number M (St113). If the variable j is not equal to the predetermined number M, the process proceeds to St101, and if the variable j is equal to the predetermined number M, After resetting the high speed flag (St114), the light control process is terminated.
- APC during normal operation will be described.
- the laser emission intensity is changed as shown in FIG. It is necessary to perform APC which is detected by the optical sensor 10 and monitored via the amplifier 9 and fed back to the current gain circuit 24 and the threshold current adjustment circuit 25 based on the obtained light emission intensity.
- APC is divided into threshold current determination processing and current gain determination processing.
- the current gain determination process a case where the maximum light amount of the display image is Lm / 4 will be described.
- a maximum image signal is sent as an image signal from the light emission control unit 22 to the current gain circuit 24, the light intensity is detected by the optical sensor 10, and acquired through the amplifier 9, whereby the acquired light intensity and current control range 2 are obtained. Is compared with the target light amount Lm / 4, and the gain set in the current gain circuit 24 is feedback-controlled so that the output light amount when the maximum image signal is input is Lm / 4.
- an image signal that is a threshold current Ith1 or a current value in the vicinity thereof is sent to the current gain circuit 24 as an image signal, and its light intensity Is detected by the optical sensor 10 and acquired through the amplifier 9, and the current value set in the threshold current adjustment circuit 25 so that the output light amount when the image signal is input becomes the threshold current Ith1 or a current value in the vicinity thereof.
- Feedback control in order to determine a set value to be given to the threshold current adjustment circuit 25, an image signal that is a threshold current Ith1 or a current value in the vicinity thereof is sent to the current gain circuit 24 as an image signal, and its light intensity Is detected by the optical sensor 10 and acquired through the amplifier 9, and the current value set in the threshold current adjustment circuit 25 so that the output light amount when the image signal is input becomes the threshold current Ith1 or a current value in the vicinity thereof.

- the white balance can be made constant by holding the light quantity values corresponding to the RGB colors.
- the light intensity detected by the optical sensor 10 and acquired through the amplifier 9 is the maximum image signal and the image signal having the threshold current Ith1 or a current value in the vicinity thereof. Instead, it goes without saying that the light intensity in a certain predetermined image signal may be detected by the optical sensor 10 and acquired via the amplifier 9.
- the threshold current value is changed according to the ACL change amount of the display image.
- This uses the relationship between the threshold current stored in the storage area in advance and the average current amount of the display image. Feed forward control. Therefore, it is possible to promptly correct the deviation from the ideal characteristics due to the feedforward control by advancing the execution period of the threshold current determination process that is the feedback control immediately after the dimming process.
- the light emission control unit 22 resets the variable k after power-on (St200).
- the variable k operates as a frame number counter and operates as a counter that controls the APC execution cycle.
- the light emission control unit 22 increments the variable k (St201). Thereafter, the light intensity of the semiconductor laser is acquired for the threshold current determination process and the current gain determination process described above (St202).

If not immediately after the dimming process, the variable k is compared with a predetermined number P for controlling the APC execution cycle (St204).
- the process proceeds to St101, where the variable k is the predetermined number P. If equal, the process proceeds to the threshold current determination process (St205). In the threshold current determination process, as described above, the current value set in the threshold current adjustment circuit 25 is feedback-controlled using at least P acquired light intensities according to St101 to St203. Thereafter, the process proceeds to a current gain determination process (St206). In the current gain determination process, as described above, the current gain value set in the current gain circuit 24 is feedback-controlled using at least P acquired light intensities according to St101 to St203. Thereafter, after resetting the variable k (st207), the process returns to the previous St101 and the above processing flow is repeated.
- the threshold current determination process as described above, the current value set in the threshold current adjustment circuit 25 is feedback-controlled using at least P acquired light intensities according to St101 to St203. Thereafter, after resetting the variable k (st207), the process returns to the previous St101 and the above processing flow is repeated.
- the variable k is compared with the product of the predetermined number Q for controlling the APC execution cycle and the natural number n (St208). If the variable k is not equal to nQ, the process proceeds to St101. Is equal to nQ, the process proceeds to threshold current determination processing (St205).
- n is a natural number of 0, 1, 2,..., And the predetermined number Q is smaller than the predetermined number P (Q ⁇ P).
- the current value set in the threshold current adjustment circuit 25 is feedback-controlled using at least Q acquired light intensities according to St101 to St203. Thereafter, the variable k is compared with a predetermined number P that controls the APC execution cycle (St204).

In the current gain determination process, as described above, the current gain value set in the current gain circuit 24 is feedback-controlled using at least P acquired light intensities according to St101 to St203. Thereafter, after resetting the variable k (st207), the process returns to the previous St101 and the above processing flow is repeated.
- the threshold current determination process is performed once every 10 frames when the speed-up flag is in the reset state, whereas 1 immediately after every dimming process. Times, threshold current determination processing is performed. Therefore, the execution period of the threshold current determination process that is feedback control is shortened immediately after the dimming process, and the deviation from the ideal characteristic due to the feedforward control can be corrected immediately. In other words, this means that the setting cycle of the threshold current value set from the light emission control unit 22 to the threshold current adjusting circuit 25 is short.
