Behind the embodiment of consulting accompanying drawing and describing subsequently, these those skilled in the art just can understand other purpose of the present invention, and technological means of the present invention and embodiment.
The first embodiment of the present invention is a kind of display device 1 as shown in Figure 1, and it comprises a display panel 101, a gate driver circuit 103, one source pole driving circuit 105, a pulse-generating circuit 107 and one source pole controller 109.When display panel 101 desires showed the picture of a vision signal 100, display panel 101 needed to drive by gate driver circuit 103 and source electrode drive circuit 105.Source electrode drive circuit 105 receives source electrode controller 109 and works in the source signal 102 that processing vision signal 100 backs are produced.Display panel 101 can be a liquid crystal display (liquid crystal display; LCD) array of display of array or other type.
103 of gate driver circuits are to work by the pulse signal 104 that pulse-generating circuit 107 is produced.Pulse-generating circuit 107 comprises a Nogata map analysis unit 1071 and a grid-pulse modulation device 1073.Histogram analysis unit 1071 receiving video signals 100, and the GTG ratio value of calculating vision signal 100.The GTG ratio value of vision signal 100 calculates the number of pixels that each the GTG value (GTG value 0 is to GTG value 255) of a picture in the vision signals 100 is comprised by histogram analysis unit 1071, then also further carries out the calculating of ratio and get it.Further, histogram analysis unit 1071 interior reservoir have a critical value, and this critical value can be that display device 1 manufacturing has configured when dispatching from the factory, or is set when using display device 1 by the user.The mode of narrating according to leading portion when histogram analysis unit 1071 is calculated after the GTG ratio value of vision signal 100, this GTG ratio value and this critical value is compared again.When the GTG ratio value of the vision signal 100 of picture during greater than this critical value, then histogram analysis unit 1071 produces one first control signal 1070.And when the GTG ratio value of the vision signal 100 of picture was not more than this critical value, then histogram analysis unit 1071 produced one second control signal 1072.Grid-pulse modulation device 1073 produces pulse signals 104 according to these control signals 1070 and 1072, and wherein the working time of this pulse signal 104 can respond the difference of the received control signal of grid-pulse modulation device 1073 and change.
In more detail, promptly when grid-pulse modulation device 1073 received first control signal 1070, then the working time of pulse signal 104 was adjusted into for one first working time.When grid-pulse modulation device 1073 received second control signal 1072, then the working time of pulse signal 104 was adjusted into for one second working time.Because histogram analysis unit 1071 produces first control signal 1070 and represents in the middle of the vision signal 100, the data of its high gray value are more, therefore need long working time driving grid driving circuit 103, so first working time can be greater than second working time, the picture display brightness when making every effort to promote display panel 101 display video signals 100.
According to two kinds of different operating times of the described pulse signal 104 of leading portion, can find that the first embodiment of the present invention can provide the selection of 101 two kinds of different display brightness of display panel, display panel 101 can use LCD that the display mode of two kinds of different brightness the solves prior art bletilla shortcoming of gray-scale inversion with great visual angle partially with great visual angle.
Be noted that though Fig. 1 transmits first control signal 1070 and second control signal 1072 respectively with two signal line, yet the present invention does not limit first control signal 1070 and second control signal 1072 needs to be transmitted by different signal wires.In more detail, histogram analysis unit 1071 can be designed to utilize " high level " of signal to reach " low level " to represent the data of high gray value of the more and vision signal 100 of the data of high gray value of vision signal 100 less respectively, for example, high level signal is represented first control signal 1070, low level signal is represented second control signal 1072, so only needs a signal line can represent the distribution proportion of the GTG value of vision signal 100.
The second embodiment of the present invention also is a kind of display device, and its structure is approximate with the display device 1 of first embodiment, and difference is in the histogram analysis unit of second embodiment, 1071 interior reservoir and has two critical values: first critical value and second critical value.In a second embodiment, first critical value and second critical value can be that the display device manufacturing of second embodiment has configured when dispatching from the factory, or are set when using the display device of present embodiment by the user.
Similarly, after histogram analysis unit 1071 calculates the GTG ratio value of vision signal 100, again this GTG ratio value and first critical value and second critical value are compared.When the GTG ratio value of vision signal 100 during greater than first critical value, then histogram analysis unit 1071 produces one first control signal.When the GTG ratio value of vision signal 100 is not more than first critical value but during greater than second critical value, then histogram analysis unit 1071 produces one second control signal.When the GTG ratio value of picture 100 was not more than second critical value, then histogram analysis unit 1071 produced one the 3rd control signal.To produce pulse signal 104, further, the working time of pulse signal 104 can respond the difference of these control signals and change grid-pulse modulation device 1073 according to these control signals.
In more detail, when grid-pulse modulation device 1073 received first control signal, then the working time of pulse signal 104 was one first working time; When grid-pulse modulation device 1073 received second control signal, then the working time of pulse signal 104 was one second working time; When grid-pulse modulation device 1073 received the 3rd control signal, then the working time of pulse signal 104 was one the 3rd working time.
When histogram analysis unit 1071 produces first control signal, represent in the middle of the vision signal 100, therefore the data of its high gray value are more, need long working time driving grid driving circuit 103, the picture display brightness when making every effort to promote display panel 101 display video signals 100.When histogram analysis unit 1071 produces the 3rd control signal, represent in the middle of the vision signal 100, the data of its low GTG value are more, therefore need short working time driving grid driving circuit 103, to make every effort to solve with great visual angle the problem of bletilla gray-scale inversion partially.And when histogram analysis unit 1071 produces second control signal, represent in the middle of the vision signal 100, the distribution of its data GTG value is comparatively average, so grid-pulse modulation device 1073 can provide the pulse signal 104 of the second default working time of pulse-generating circuit 107 outputs to come driving grid driving circuit 103.Therefore, second working time was greater than the 3rd working time greater than second working time first working time.
According to three kinds of different operating times of the described pulse signal 104 of leading portion, can find that the second embodiment of the present invention can provide the selection of 101 3 kinds of different display brightness of display panel, display panel 101 can use LCD that the display mode of three kinds of different brightness further the solves prior art bletilla shortcoming of gray-scale inversion with great visual angle partially with great visual angle.The different display brightness of the different GTG ratio values of the adjustment that thus, display panel 101 can be meticulousr.
Second embodiment can utilize 2 digital signal to represent first control signal, second control signal and the 3rd control signal, and an example of 2 the digital signal that result after the GTG ratio value and first critical value and the second critical value comparison and histogram analysis unit are produced is as shown in the table:
When GTG ratio value during greater than first critical value, 2 digital signal is shown as [0,0], and export first control signal, when the GTG ratio value is not more than first critical value, but greater than second critical value, 2 digital signal is shown as [0,1], and export second control signal, when the GTG ratio value was not more than second critical value, 2 digital signal was shown as [1,0], and export the 3rd control signal.But the invention is not restricted to this mode.
