技术领域 technical field
本发明是相关于一种显示器,尤指一种调整显示器上图像显示品质的方法及相关显示器。The present invention relates to a display, in particular to a method for adjusting image display quality on the display and a related display.
背景技术 Background technique
有机发光二极管(organic light emitting diode,OLED)为现今一种很新颖的显示器技术,其发光原理是有别于现有所熟知的显示器技术,例如像是阴极射线管(cathode ray tube,CRT)、超扭转向列(super twist nematic,STN)液晶显示面板(liquid crystal display,LCD)、等离子体显示面板(plasma display panel,PDP)、场发射显示器(field emission display,FED)、单晶硅液晶显示面板(liquid crystal on silicon,LCOS)、及发光二极管(light emitting diode,LED)等。有机发光二极管采用有机材料架构成一发光二极管元件,其本身具备主动发光的特性。随着现有制程的突飞猛进,有机发光二极管技术也广泛地被应用于显示器产品上,因有机发光二极管具备主动发光的特性,可以减少产品其它零元件,大幅度地降低产品成本,所以,非常适合于次世代的显示器上。Organic light emitting diode (OLED) is a very novel display technology nowadays. Its light emitting principle is different from the existing well-known display technology, such as cathode ray tube (cathode ray tube, CRT), Super twist nematic (STN) liquid crystal display (liquid crystal display, LCD), plasma display panel (plasma display panel, PDP), field emission display (field emission display, FED), monocrystalline silicon liquid crystal display panel (liquid crystal on silicon, LCOS), and light emitting diode (light emitting diode, LED), etc. Organic light-emitting diodes use organic materials to form a light-emitting diode element, which itself has the characteristic of actively emitting light. With the rapid development of the existing manufacturing process, organic light-emitting diode technology is also widely used in display products. Because organic light-emitting diodes have the characteristics of active light emission, other components of the product can be reduced, and product costs can be greatly reduced. Therefore, it is very suitable for on next-generation displays.
现有的平面显示器产品在制造的过程中,因为其制程条件及机台精准度的限制,造成显示器的分辨率无法太高。以有机发光二极管为例,在制造有机发光二极管产品的过程中,因为有机材料是使用蒸镀的方法来制造,需要使用到金属屏蔽(metal shield mask),这不是大家所熟知的半导体制程中的光罩(photo mask)光显影技术,其金属屏蔽在精密度上无法与光罩相比,因而造成有机发光二极管产品的分辨率无法太高。举例来说,现有技术只能做到每英时上约120-150个画素(display pixel),也就是约120-150ppi,因此降低了有机发光二极管产品在画面分辨率规格的竞争力。During the manufacturing process of existing flat panel display products, the resolution of the display cannot be too high due to the limitation of the process conditions and the precision of the machine. Taking organic light emitting diodes as an example, in the process of manufacturing organic light emitting diode products, because organic materials are manufactured by evaporation method, metal shield mask (metal shield mask) needs to be used, which is not in the well-known semiconductor manufacturing process. In the photomask photodevelopment technology, the precision of the metal shield cannot be compared with that of the photomask, so the resolution of the OLED product cannot be too high. For example, the existing technology can only achieve about 120-150 display pixels per inch, that is, about 120-150ppi, thus reducing the competitiveness of OLED products in terms of screen resolution.
传统的图像显示方式是将图像信号(image signal)显示于相同分辨率的显示器上。请参阅图1,图1的右半部表示图像信号12,而左半部则为具有相对应分辨率的显示器10,图像信号12被利用电子系统传送至显示器10。举例来说,若显示器10的分辨率为nxm,也就是说,显示器10包含n条水平画素列(display pixel row),而每一条画素列均包含mx3个子画素(display sub-pixel),其中「x3」是代表每一个画素均包含红(R)、绿(G)、及蓝(B)三原色的子画素。该电子系统必需将每一个画面,也就是图像信号12(其亦包含nxmx3笔数据),以一对一的方式传送到相对应于显示器10的画素位置点上,而呈现出完整画面于显示器10上。如图1所示,图像信号12的第一像素列上的第一、第二、第三、及第四像素分别显示于显示器10的第一画素列上的第一、第二、第三、及第四画素上,而图像信号12的第n像素列则显示于显示器10的第n画素列上,因此,显示器10的分辨率与图像信号12是1:1的关系。The traditional image display method is to display the image signal on a display with the same resolution. Please refer to FIG. 1 , the right half of FIG. 1 shows an
然而,随着显示器产品应用的发展趋势,显示器所表现的信息量逐渐增加,对显示器的要求也越来越高,特别是在画面的分辨率上。画面分辨率要求越高,代表显示器所必需具备的画素数目越多,如此一来,将使得每一画素的间隔越来越小,甚至于超出机台的制程极限,因此,平面显示器产品的高分辨率的制造可行性及良率也越来越低了。However, with the development trend of display product applications, the amount of information displayed on the display is gradually increasing, and the requirements for the display are also getting higher and higher, especially in terms of screen resolution. The higher the screen resolution requirements, the more pixels the display must have. In this way, the interval between each pixel will become smaller and smaller, and even exceed the process limit of the machine. Therefore, the high-quality flat-panel display products The manufacturing feasibility and yield of the resolution are getting lower and lower.
请参阅图2,图2的右半部亦表示图像信号12,但左半部是显示另一显示器20,显示器20的分辨率是不对应于图像信号12。具体言之,显示器20的分辨率仅为nxm/6,也就是说,显示器20仅包含n/2条水平画素列,而每一条画素列均仅包含mx3/3个子画素,同样地,「x3」亦是代表每一个画素均包含红(R)、绿(G)、及蓝(B)三原色的子画素。由于显示器20的分辨率仅为图1所显示的显示器10的分辨率的六分之一,所以,图像信号12的nxmx3笔数据一定无法以一对一的方式显示于相对应于显示器20的画素位置点上,相反地,图像信号12中仅有部分数据可被显示于相对应于显示器20的画素位置点上。如图2所示,在实际显示期间(显示于图6)内,图像信号12的第一像素列中的第一、及第四像素可分别被显示于显示器20的第一画素列上的第一、及第二画素上,但第二、及第三像素因显示器20的第一画素列上并没有相对应的画素,所以只好被舍弃;另一方面,图像信号12的第(n-1)像素列可被显示于显示器20的第n/2画素列上,但第n像素列则因显示器20上并没有相对应的画素列,所以只好被舍弃。Please refer to FIG. 2 , the right half of FIG. 2 also shows the

请参阅图3至图6,图3至图5为图像信号12及本发明的第一实施例中显示器50的示意图,图6为显示器50的运作时序图。显示器50包含n条水平画素列,但不同于显示器20的每一条画素列仅包含mx3/3个子画素,显示器50的每一条画素列除了包含mx3/3个子画素外,还包含红(R)子画素52、及绿(G)子画素54。同样地,显示器50的每一画素亦包含依序排列的红(R)、绿(G)、及蓝(B)三原色子画素。Please refer to FIG. 3 to FIG. 6 . FIG. 3 to FIG. 5 are schematic diagrams of the

显示器50的运作过程说明如下。在第一子显示期间sub-frame1(第一子显示期间sub-frame1约为实际显示期间frame的三分之一)内,图像信号12的第一像素列中的第一像素仍显示于显示器50的第一画素列中的第一画素,也就是说,图像信号12的第一像素列的第一像素中的R、G、及B图像子信号是分别显示于显示器50的第一画素列的第一画素中的红(R)、绿(G)、及蓝(B)子画素上,如图3所示;不同于显示于显示器20上的图像信号12的第一像素列中的第二、及第三像素被舍弃,在第二子显示期间sub-frame2(第二子显示期间sub-frame2亦约为实际显示期间frame的三分之一)内,显示于显示器50上的图像信号12的第一像素列中的第二像素是显示于显示器50的第一画素列的第一画素中的绿(G)及蓝(B)子画素、及第二画素中的红(R)子画素上,如图4所示,详言之,显示器50的第一画素列的第一画素中的绿(G)及蓝(B)子画素、及第二画素中的红(R)子画素上系分别显示图像信号12的第一像素列的第二像素所包含的绿(G)、蓝(B)、及红(R)子像素;另外,在一第三子显示期间sub-frame3(第三子显示期间sub-frame3亦约为实际显示期间frame的三分之一)内,显示于显示器50上的图像信号12的第一像素列中的第三像素系显示于显示器50的第一画素列的第一画素中的蓝(B)子画素、及第二画素中的红(R)及绿(G)子画素上,如图5所示。The operation process of the
依此类推,在第一子显示期间sub-frame1内,图像信号12的第一像素列中的第四、第七…、及第(m-2)像素是分别显示于显示器50的第一画素列中的第二、第三…、及第(m/3)画素上,如图3所示;图像信号12的第一像素列中的第五、第八…、及第(m-1)像素则分别显示于显示器50的第一画素列的第二画素中的绿(G)及蓝(B)子画素及第三画素中的红(R)子画素、第三画素中的绿(G)及蓝(B)子画素及第四画素中的红(R)子画素…、及第(m/3)画素中的绿(G)及蓝(B)子画素与显示器50较显示器20所额外增加的红(R)子画素52上;图像信号12的第一像素列中的第六、第九…、及第m像素则分别显示于显示器50的第一画素列的第二画素中的蓝(B)子画素及第三画素中的红(R)及绿(G)子画素、第三画素中的蓝(B)子画素及第四画素中的红(R)及绿(G)子画素…、及第(m/3)画素中的蓝(B)子画素与显示器50较显示器20所额外增加的红(R)子画素52及绿(G)子画素54上。By analogy, in the first sub-display period sub-frame1, the fourth, seventh..., and (m-2)th pixels in the first pixel column of the image signal 12 are respectively displayed on the first pixel of the display 50 The second, the third..., and the (m/3) pixel in the column, as shown in Figure 3; the fifth, the eighth..., and the (m-1) pixel in the first pixel column of the image signal 12 The pixels are respectively displayed on the green (G) and blue (B) sub-pixels in the second pixel of the first pixel column of the display 50, the red (R) sub-pixel in the third pixel, the green (G) in the third pixel ) and blue (B) sub-pixels and the red (R) sub-pixels in the fourth pixel..., and the green (G) and blue (B) sub-pixels in the (m/3) pixel and the display 50 compared to the display 20 On the additionally added red (R) sub-pixel 52; the sixth, the ninth..., and the m-th pixel in the first pixel column of the image signal 12 are respectively displayed in the second pixel of the first pixel column of the display 50 Blue (B) sub-pixel and red (R) and green (G) sub-pixel in the third pixel, blue (B) sub-pixel in the third pixel and red (R) and green (G) in the fourth pixel The sub-pixels..., and the blue (B) sub-pixel in the (m/3)th pixel and the additional red (R) sub-pixel 52 and green (G) sub-pixel 54 of the display 50 compared with the display 20 .
等效上,图像信号12被分为三个图像子信号(第一图像子信号14包含图像信号12水平方向的第一、第四、第七…点的图像信号,第二图像子信号16包含图像信号12水平方向的第二、第五、第八…点的图像信号,第三图像子信号18包含图像信号12水平方向的第三、第六、第九…点的图像信号),显示器50于第一子显示期间sub-frame1内是显示图像信号12的第一图像子信号14,显示器50于第二子显示期间sub-frame2内是显示图像信号12的第二图像子信号16,显示器50于第三子显示期间sub-frame3内是显示图像信号12的第三图像子信号18,这样周而复始地,以显示完整的图像信号12,如图7所示。如此一来,虽然显示器50的每一画素列仅包含m/3个画素及两个子画素,m/3为图像信号12的每一像素列所包含的像素个数m的三分之一,但是由于显示器50是逐子画素地、而非逐画素地显示图像信号12所包含的各个像素,所以,等效上,显示器50于水平方向的分辨率系相同于图像信号12于水平方向的分辨率。从另一方面言之,显示器50的分辨率是三倍于显示器20的分辨率,尽管显示器50的每一画素列所包含的画素个数是相同于显示器20的每一画素列所包含的画素个数。Equivalently, the
在本发明的第一实施例中,显示器50的每一个画素被假设仅包含三个子画素,亦即红(R)、绿(G)、及蓝(B)子画素,而这三个子画素又是呈直线状排列,亦即最先是红(R)子画素、继之是绿(G)子画素、而最后才是蓝(B)子画素,然而,在本发明的显示器中,每一画素不见得一定要刚好包含三个子画素,也可包含三个以上的子画素。举例来说,本发明的显示器的每一画素除了可包含红(R)、绿(G)、及蓝(B)子画素外,也可还包含白(W)子画素。此外,在本发明的显示器中,每一画素所包含的子画素也不一定要排列成直线状,举例来说,本发明的显示器的每一画素所包含的子画素除了可排列成正三角形状之外,也可排列成直线状或方形状,如图8A、8B及8C所示。在图8A中,本发明的显示器的每一画素均包含三个呈正三角形状排列的子画素,在图8B中,本发明的显示器的每一画素均包含四个呈直线状排列的子画素,而在图8C中,本发明的显示器的每一画素均包含四个呈方形状排列的子画素。In the first embodiment of the present invention, each pixel of the
此外,本发明的显示器除了可将实际显示期间frame分割成约略相等的三个子显示期间,以分别显示第一、第二、及第三图像子信号14、16、及18外,亦可将实际显示期间frame分割成不尽相等的三个子显示期间、或分割成两个相等或不相等的子显示期间。以将实际显示期间frame分割成两个相等的子显示期间为例来说,在第四子显示期间(该第四子显示期间约为实际显示期间frame的二分之一)内,图像信号12的第一图像子信号(其包含图像信号12水平方向的第一、第三、第五…点的图像信号)系分别显示于本发明的显示器的第一、第二、第三…画素上,另一方面,在第五子显示期间(该第五子显示期间亦约为实际显示期间frame的二分之一)内,图像信号12的第二图像子信号(其包含图像信号12水平方向的第二、第四、第六…点的图像信号)是分别显示于本发明的显示器的第一画素中的蓝(B)子画素及第二画素中的红(R)及绿(G)子画素上、第二画素中的蓝(B)子画素及第三画素中的红(R)及绿(G)子画素上、第三画素中的蓝(B)子画素及第四画素中的红(R)及绿(G)子画素上…(当然,在该第五子显示期间内,图像信号12的第二图像子信号也可分别显示于本发明的显示器的第一画素中的绿(G)及蓝(B)子画素及第二画素中的红(R)子画素上、第二画素中的绿(G)及蓝(B)子画素及第三画素中的红(R)子画素上、第三画素中的绿(G)及蓝(B)子画素及第四画素中的红(R)子画素上…)。如此一来,本发明的显示器的分辨率与图像信号12是1:2的关系。In addition, in addition to dividing the actual display period frame into three approximately equal sub-display periods to display the first, second, and third image sub-signals 14, 16, and 18, the display of the present invention can also divide the actual The display period frame is divided into three unequal sub-display periods, or divided into two equal or unequal sub-display periods. Taking the actual display period frame divided into two equal sub-display periods as an example, in the fourth sub-display period (the fourth sub-display period is about half of the actual display period frame), the
再者,在本发明的第一实施例中,显示器50的每一画素列除了包含m/3x3个子画素外,还包含红(R)子画素52及绿(G)子画素54,然而,本发明的显示器的每一画素也可既不包含红(R)子画素52也不包含绿(G)子画素54、或仅额外包含红(R)子画素52。详言之,若本发明的显示器既不包含红(R)子画素52也不包含绿(G)子画素54,那么,在第一子显示期间sub-frame1内,图像信号12的第一像素列中的第一、第四、第七…、及第(m-2)像素仍分别显示于上述的既不包含红(R)子画素52也不包含绿(G)子画素54的显示器的第一画素列中的第一、第二、第三…、及第(m/3)画素上;但在第二子显示期间sub-frame2内,图像信号12的第一像素列中的第二、第五、第八…、及第(m-4)像素虽仍分别显示于上述的显示器的第一画素列的第一画素中的绿(G)及蓝(B)子画素及第二画素中的红(R)子画素、第二画素中的绿(G)及蓝(B)子画素及第三画素中的红(R)子画素、第三画素中的绿(G)及蓝(B)子画素及第四画素中的红(R)子画素…、及第(m/3)-1画素中的绿(G)及蓝(B)子画素及第(m/3)画素中的红(R)子画素,但由于上述的显示器的每一画素列已没有包含红(R)子画素52,所以,在第二子显示期间sub-frame2内,图像信号12的第一像素列中的第(m-1)像素中仅绿(G)子像素及蓝(B)子像素显示于上述的显示器的第一画素列的第(m/3)画素之中绿(G)及蓝(B)子画素上;类似地,在第三子显示期间sub-frame3内,图像信号12的第一像素列的第m像素中仅蓝(B)子像素显示于上述的显示器的第一画素列的第(m/3)画素中的蓝(B)子画素上。Furthermore, in the first embodiment of the present invention, each pixel column of the
最后,请再参阅图6,在图6中,第三图像子信号18于第三子显示期间sub-frame3内,是对应地显示于每一画素中的蓝(B)子画素及接续于该画素后的画素中的红(R)及绿(G)子画素上,但接续图像信号12后的另一图像信号中的第一图像子信号14于另一第一子显示期间sub-frame1(其是接续于第三子显示期间sub-frame3后)内,是对应地显示于每一画素中的红(R)、绿(G)、及蓝(B)子画素上。然而,本发明的显示器也可依据不同于显示器50的运作时序(也就是首先(R、G、B)、继而(G、B、R)、最后(B、R、G)、再回到(R、G、B))显示图像信号12。请参阅图9,图9为本发明的第二实施例中另一显示器的运作时序图。如图9所示,当第三图像子信号18于第三子显示期间sub-frame3内被对应地显示于每一画素中的蓝(B)子画素及接续于该画素后的画素中的红(R)及绿(G)子画素上后,本发明的第二实施例中的显示器,将接续于图像信号12后的另一图像信号以相反的图像子信号顺序显示,亦即,其图像子信号显示顺序为第三图像子信号18、第二图像子信号16、第一图像子信号14,其中第三图像子信号18仍对应地显示于每一画素中的蓝(B)子画素及接续于该画素后的画素中的红(R)及绿(G)子画素上,第二图像子信号16则对应地显示于每一画素中的绿(G)及蓝(B)子画素及接续于该画素后的画素中的红(R)子画素上,第一图像子信号14则对应地显示于每一画素上。如此,可以尽可能地模糊化图像信号12。Finally, please refer to FIG. 6 again. In FIG. 6, the third image sub-signal 18 is correspondingly displayed in the blue (B) sub-pixel in each pixel in the third sub-display period sub-frame3 and continues in the On the red (R) and green (G) sub-pixels in the pixels behind the pixel, but the first image sub-signal 14 in another image signal following the
上述的方法可提高本发明的显示器于水平方向上的图像显示品质,以下将说明如何提高本发明的显示器于垂直方向上的图像显示品质。The above method can improve the image display quality of the display of the present invention in the horizontal direction, and how to improve the image display quality of the display of the present invention in the vertical direction will be described below.
请参阅图10,图10为图像信号12及本发明的第三实施例中显示器80的示意图。不同于显示器50系包含n条水平画素列,显示器80仅包含n/2条水平画素列,另外,为了方便说明起见,显示器80的每一条画素列是均包含mx3个子画素。Please refer to FIG. 10 , which is a schematic diagram of the
由于用以显示图像信号12的显示器80所包含的画素列条数仅为图像信号12所包含的像素列条数的二分之一,所以,为了不漏失图像信号12中的任一像素列数据,在本发明的第三实施例中,图像信号12中未能对应于显示器80的画素列的像素列,是平均地显示于显示器80的画素列上。Since the number of pixel columns included in the
显示器80的运作过程说明如下。由于图像信号12的第二像素列于显示器80上未有相对应的画素列,所以,在本发明的第三实施例中,图像信号12的第二像素列的二分之一是显示于显示器80的第一画素列上(显示器80的第一画素列系对应于图像信号12的第一像素列),至于图像信号12的第二像素列剩余的二分之一则显示于显示器80的第二画素列上(显示器80的第二画素列系对应于图像信号12的第三像素列(3=2*2-1))。由于显示器80的第一画素列上除了需显示其所对应的图像信号12的第一像素列外,另需显示二分之一个图像信号12的第二像素列,因此,为了均一化显示器80上所显示的图像信号12的亮度,显示器80的第一画素列是显示(图像信号12的第一像素列*1+图像信号12的第二像素列*1/2)/(1+1/2)。前已言之,图像信号12的第二像素列剩余的二分之一是显示于显示器80的第二画素列上,此外,显示器80的第二画素列上另显示其所对应的图像信号12的第三像素列、以及图像信号12的第四像素列的二分之一。类似地,为了均一化显示器80上所显示的图像信号12的亮度,所以,显示器80的第二画素列是显示(图像信号12的第二像素列*1/2+图像信号12的第三像素列*1+图像信号12的第四像素列*1/2)/(1/2+1+1/2)。依此类推,显示器80的第k画素列上除了显示其所对应的图像信号12的第(k*2-1)像素列外,另显示图像信号12的第(k*2-2)像素列(图像信号12的第(k*2-1)像素列的前一条像素列)的二分之一、及图像信号12的第(k*2)像素列(图像信号12的第(k*2-1)像素列的后一条像素列)的二分之一,同样地,为了均一化显示器80上所显示的图像信号12的亮度,显示器80的第k画素列是显示(图像信号12的第(k*2-2)像素列*1/2+图像信号12的第(k*2-1)像素列*1+图像信号12的第(k*2)像素列*1/2)/(1/2+1+1/2)。最后,显示器80的第n/2画素列上除了显示其所对应的图像信号12的第(n/2*2-1)像素列外,也就是图像信号12的第(n-1)像素列,另显示图像信号12的第(n/2*2-2)像素列(也就是图像信号12的第(n-2)像素列)的二分之一、及图像信号12的第(n/2*2)像素列(也就是图像信号12的第n像素列)的二分之一,同样地,为了均一化显示器80上所显示的图像信号12的亮度,显示器80的第n/2画素列是显示(图像信号12的第(n-2)像素列*1/2+图像信号12的第(n-1)像素列*1+图像信号12的第n像素列*1/2)/(1/2+1+1/2)。The operation of the
如此一来,虽然显示器80所包含的画素列条数仅为图像信号12所包含的像素列条数的二分之一,但是,通过前述的像素列加权方法,显示器80在显示时仍使用到完整的图像信号12,所以,虽然显示器80的分辨率与图像信号12是1:2的关系,但通过该像素列加权方法改善了显示器80的图像显示品质。In this way, although the number of pixel columns included in the
在本发明的第三实施例中,显示器80的第k画素列是对应于图像信号12的第(2*k-1)像素列,然而,本发明的显示器的第k画素列也可对应于图像信号12的其它像素列。In the third embodiment of the present invention, the k pixel column of the
请参阅图11,图11为图像信号12及本发明的第四实施例中显示器90的示意图。相同地,显示器90亦包含n/2条水平画素列,另外,为了方便说明起见,显示器90的每一条画素列亦包含mx3个子画素。Please refer to FIG. 11 . FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of the
由于用以显示图像信号12的显示器90所包含的画素列条数仅为图像信号12所包含的像素列条数的二分之一,所以,为了不漏失图像信号12中的任一像素列数据,在本发明的第四实施例中,图像信号12中未能对应于显示器90的画素列的像素列,亦是平均地显示于显示器90的画素列上。Since the number of pixel columns included in the
显示器90的运作过程说明如下。由于图像信号12的第一像素列及第三像素列于显示器90上均未有相对应的画素列,所以,在本发明的第四实施例中,图像信号12的第一像素列的二分之一及图像信号12的第三像素列的二分之一是显示于显示器80的第一画素列上,显示器80的第一画素列是对应于图像信号12的第二像素列(2=1*2)。由于显示器90的第一画素列上除了需显示其所对应的图像信号12的第二像素列外,另需显示二分之一个图像信号12的第一像素列及二分之一个图像信号12的第三像素列,因此,为了均一化显示器90上所显示的图像信号12的亮度,显示器90的第一画素列是显示(图像信号12的第一像素列*1/2+图像信号12的第二像素列*1+图像信号12的第三像素列*1/2)/(1/2+1+1/2)。依此类推,显示器90的第k画素列上除了显示其所对应的图像信号12的第(k*2)像素列外,另显示图像信号12的第(k*2-1)像素列(图像信号12的第(k*2)像素列的前一条像素列)的二分之一、及图像信号12的第(k*2+1)像素列(图像信号12的第(k*2)像素列的后一条像素列)的二分之一,同样地,为了均一化显示器90上所显示的图像信号12的亮度,显示器90的第k画素列是显示(图像信号12的第(k*2-1)像素列*1/2+图像信号12的第(k*2)像素列*1+图像信号12的第(k*2+1)像素列*1/2)/(1/2+1+1/2)。最后,显示器90的第n/2画素列上除了显示其所对应的图像信号12的第(n/2*2)像素列外,也就是图像信号12的第n像素列外,另显示图像信号12的第(n/2*2-1)像素列(也就是图像信号12的第(n-1)像素列)的二分之一,同样地,为了均一化显示器90上所显示的图像信号12的亮度,显示器90的第n/2画素列是显示(图像信号12的第(n-1)像素列*1/2+图像信号12的第n像素列*1)/(1/2+1)。The operation of the
如此一来,虽然显示器90所包含的画素列条数仅为图像信号12所包含的像素列条数的二分之一,但是,通过前述的像素列加权方法,显示器90在显示时仍使用到完整的图像信号12,所以,虽然显示器90的分辨率与图像信号12是1:2的关系,但通过该像素列加权方法改善了显示器90的图像显示品质。In this way, although the number of pixel columns included in the
相较于先前技术,本发明的调整显示器上图像分辨率的方法及相关显示器,由于采用了该分割时钟方法、该像素列加权方法、以及画素分享(pixelsharing)方法(也就是,将图像信号所包含的多个像素逐子画素地显示于该显示器上),所以,尽管显示器的分辨率不够大,却仍能于显示图像数据时,不丧失任何图像数据。Compared with the prior art, the method for adjusting image resolution on a display and the related display of the present invention adopt the division clock method, the pixel row weighting method, and the pixel sharing (pixelsharing) method (that is, the image signal is divided into A plurality of pixels included in the display are displayed on the display sub-pixel by sub-pixel), therefore, even though the resolution of the display is not large enough, it is still possible to display the image data without losing any image data.
以上所述仅为本发明的较佳实施例,凡依本发明权利要求范围所做的均等变化与修饰,皆应属本发明的涵盖范围。The above descriptions are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and all equivalent changes and modifications made according to the claims of the present invention shall fall within the scope of the present invention.
