Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及一种驱动方法及其系统与应用其的液晶显示器,特别是涉及一种影像驱动方法及其系统与应用其的液晶显示器。The invention relates to a driving method and its system and a liquid crystal display using the same, in particular to an image driving method and its system and a liquid crystal display using the same.
背景技术Background technique
现有的液晶平面显示器的背光模块分为保持式与扫描式两种。保持式背光模块为持续发亮以供应液晶显示面板的光源,此保持式背光模块已证明出有一重大缺点,即是对动态影像的反应不足。当画面上显示快速动态影像时,因为液晶像素单元的开关反应时间过慢,所以会造成影像来不及转换而移动物体之后方出现一灰度较淡的影子,也就是所谓的残影现象。The backlight modules of the existing liquid crystal flat panel display are divided into two types: hold type and scan type. The hold-on backlight module is continuously on to supply the light source for the liquid crystal display panel. This hold-on backlight module has proved to have a major disadvantage, that is, insufficient response to moving images. When a fast moving image is displayed on the screen, because the switching response time of the liquid crystal pixel unit is too slow, the image will not be converted in time, and a shadow with a lighter grayscale will appear behind the moving object, which is the so-called afterimage phenomenon.
图1是说明采用保持式背光模块的动态图像响应曲线(MPRC),其中此图是采用移动速度167 pixel/frame所得的结果,此图的纵轴代表经常态化后的光亮度,此亮度值一般分为0~225,在此光亮度值96灰度转换为192灰度常态化为0~1。横轴代表像素之间的相对位置,如标示600为显示面板左边的像素,标示1000为显示面板右边的像素,而标示800则是显示面板正中间的像素。动态图像响应曲线是经由参考光产生时间、液晶像素单元开关时间、及人眼视觉反应而绘制出的仿真曲线。图1是说明当移动物体亮度值96在背景亮度值192的环境中,物体从横轴600移动至横轴1000所产生的残像现象。所以左边的像素为显示背景,右边的像素为显示移动后的物体。我们可以发现在背景亮度值192与物体亮度值96之间有一斜曲线区域,此曲线区域位于像素700到像素900。斜曲线区因亮度介于背景和物体中间而显示比物体较淡的灰度,在此表示背景与物体间存在有一个模糊区域,即为所谓的残影现象。所以,因液晶像素分子的开关反应速度不够快,故造成物体虽然已经移动到右边而显示常态化亮度0,但是中间的部分仍显示较淡灰度亮度介于0~1之间。此外,在保持型背光模块的结构为持续发亮形式,此因背光模块中的冷阴极荧光灯(CCFL)持续打击荧光粉而持续产生各种原色,所以不受荧光粉激发时间影响,故各原色发出时间并无差异,所以图1的曲线可视为红绿蓝三原色各自的光曲线,亦可视为红绿蓝三原色光迭合而成的曲线。Figure 1 illustrates the dynamic image response curve (MPRC) of the hold-type backlight module. This figure is the result obtained by using a moving speed of 167 pixel/frame. The vertical axis of this figure represents the brightness after normalization. This brightness value It is generally divided into 0~225, where the brightness value is converted from 96 gray levels to 192 gray levels and normalized to 0~1. The horizontal axis represents the relative position between the pixels. For example, 600 is the pixel on the left side of the display panel, 1000 is the pixel on the right side of the display panel, and 800 is the pixel in the middle of the display panel. The dynamic image response curve is a simulation curve drawn with reference to light generation time, liquid crystal pixel unit switching time, and human visual response. FIG. 1 illustrates the afterimage phenomenon generated when the object moves from the
美国专利第6,927,766号揭示了一种影像显示装置,此装置包含一个可控制光传输及反射的像素构成的显像区域及一个可做地址扫描并以固定频率闪烁的光发射区域,此装置即为现有的的液晶显示面板的扫描式背光模块,此扫描式背光模块是仿真阴极射线管(CRT)原理来解决残像问题,扫描式背光模块并采用与一般讯号源相同的频率60赫兹闪烁以增加影像转换效率。U.S. Patent No. 6,927,766 discloses an image display device, which includes a display area composed of pixels that can control light transmission and reflection, and a light emission area that can perform address scanning and flash at a fixed frequency. This device is The scanning backlight module of the existing liquid crystal display panel, this scanning backlight module is to simulate the principle of cathode ray tube (CRT) to solve the afterimage problem, and the scanning backlight module uses the same frequency as the general signal source to flicker at 60 Hz to increase Image conversion efficiency.
图2所示为扫描式背光模块的动态图像响应曲线,此图是表示此扫描式背光模块与图1的保持式背光模块在相同的影像条件所做的测试。图2显示三条曲线,分别是绿光动态图像响应曲线201、红光动态图像响应曲线202、及蓝光动态图像响应曲线203,绿光的曲线201由于跟红光的曲线202过于接近,所以在图2上红绿光只显示出一条曲线。三原色的动态图像响应曲线的斜曲线区为像素780到像素900,可明显看出三原色的斜曲线区域皆变窄且变陡,且三原色的动态图像响应曲线并不互相重迭。变窄虽代表残像面积减小,但不重迭却代表残像部分出现色差。此因扫描式背光模块以固定频率闪烁,所以背光模块的冷阴极荧光灯每次都要以固定频率激发荧光粉而发光,但冷阴极荧光灯的各色荧光粉受激发而发出所需光亮度的时间不同,所以造成三原色的动态图像响应曲线并不迭合。图3为冷阴极荧光灯内的各色荧光粉受激发的发光曲线,分别为绿色荧光粉发光曲线301、红色荧光粉发光曲线302、及蓝色荧光粉发光曲线303,纵轴显示亮度而横轴显示时间,亮度并经过常态化后的最高值以1表示。由图3可知此蓝色活化曲线303显示蓝色荧光粉在T31激发活化的程度与在T32回复常态的程度为三色光中最快,故造成图2的蓝光动态图像响应曲线203与其它两条曲线具有明显分离的现象。虽然改用扫描式背光模块后使得残像面积减少,但残像却会因此产生色差,更明确的说在此会出现偏蓝色的残像,此一现象对于人类日常视觉来说很不自然。FIG. 2 shows the dynamic image response curve of the scanning backlight module. This figure shows that the scanning backlight module and the holding backlight module in FIG. 1 are tested under the same image conditions. Figure 2 shows three curves, which are green light dynamic image response curve 201, red light dynamic
而图4是说明物体亮度值192在背景亮度值96的环境,从横轴650移动至横轴950产生的三原色光动态图像响应曲线,与图2不同的是此时物体亮度比环境亮度高。三原色光的动态图像响应曲线分别为绿光动态图像响应曲线401、红光动态图像响应曲线402、及蓝光动态图像响应曲线403,在此蓝光动态图像响应曲线较红绿光为低,此因蓝色荧光粉的活化回复时间短,所以可以很快地到达低亮度,却因此会出现偏红绿色的残像。所以扫描型背光虽然减低残像的面积但却出现了残像的色差。无论是图2或图4,变色的残像皆会使面板的观赏者感觉到非常不自然,因而降低了显示品质。Figure 4 illustrates the dynamic image response curve of the three primary colors generated by moving from the

具体实施方式Detailed ways
图5A、图5B、及图5C为本发明实施例的影像讯号及各原色光的像素驱动的时钟图,此时钟图显示当影像讯号从亮度值96变换至亮度值192时,像素执行过激驱动所施电压的时间点。图5A为影像讯号作倍频处理后的时钟图,图5B为通过红光及绿光的像素执行一个过激驱动的时钟图,图5C则为通过蓝光的像素执行一个过激驱动的时钟图。本实施例是一种扫描式背光模块的平面显示器的一种像素驱动方法,此平面显示器为液晶平面显示器,因此光传输的介质为液晶。在本实施例采用的像素驱动方法为对某一原色提供不同的多个过激驱动对应表,所以对于红绿蓝三原色光分别有不同的多个过激驱动对应表。并在进行一过激驱动操作时,分成多个次过激驱动操作。其中,红绿蓝三原色的像素执行一个过激驱动时,可分割成两个次过激驱动,红绿蓝三色的像素分别在时间点T51执行第一个次过激驱动,而在时间点T52执行第二个次过激驱动,而此像素的两个次过激驱动分别对应不同的过激驱动对应表。而红绿蓝光彼此之间皆有的不同的过激驱动对应表,以使传递不同原色色光的光传输介质的反应时间不同。Fig. 5A, Fig. 5B, and Fig. 5C are the clock diagrams of the video signal and the pixel driving of each primary color light according to the embodiment of the present invention. The clock diagram shows that when the video signal changes from a luminance value of 96 to a luminance value of 192, the pixel performs overdrive The point in time of the applied voltage. FIG. 5A is a clock diagram of an image signal after frequency multiplication processing, FIG. 5B is a clock diagram of an overdrive by red and green pixels, and FIG. 5C is a clock diagram of an overdrive by blue pixels. This embodiment is a pixel driving method of a flat panel display of a scanning backlight module. The flat panel display is a liquid crystal flat panel display, so the light transmission medium is liquid crystal. The pixel driving method adopted in this embodiment provides multiple different overdrive corresponding tables for a certain primary color, so there are different multiple overdrive corresponding tables for the three primary colors of red, green and blue. And when an overdrive operation is performed, it is divided into a plurality of overdrive operations. Among them, when the red, green, and blue primary color pixels perform one overdrive, it can be divided into two overdrives. The red, green, and blue pixels perform the first overdrive at the time point T51, and perform the second overdrive at the time point T52. Two secondary overdrives, and the two secondary overdrives of this pixel respectively correspond to different overdrive corresponding tables. The red, green, and blue lights have different overdrive correspondence tables, so that the response times of the optical transmission media that transmit different primary colors of light are different.
此实施例的设计原理请参阅图6A与图6B,图6A为输入频率为60赫兹的影像讯号的时钟图,图6B为红绿蓝三原色执行一个相同的过激驱动的时钟图,其中原点到T60为起始影像讯号的输入时间,起始影像讯号的亮度值为96,而红绿蓝光的起始亮度值也为96。T62为影像讯号的输入的另一个时间点,由于此影像讯号的频率为60赫兹,所以原点到T62的时距为16.67毫秒,且T62到T620为此影像讯号输入的时间。在T62输入的影像讯号指示此显示区域需达到亮度值192,由于考虑到像素的反应时间较长,在此红绿蓝光在T62执行一个过激驱动。我们将输入影像讯号的指示与像素电压的运作做成一个过激驱动对应表,当影像讯号指示某显示区域亮度需为亮度值192时,三原色像素的电压皆执行过激驱动增加至亮度值202所需的电压。所以每一影像讯号指示改变的每一亮度值在此过激驱动对应表上都会对应不同的像素电压,因为各色色光的光产生时间不同,所以藉由提高电压来加强像素的反应时间以增加显示效果。For the design principle of this embodiment, please refer to FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B. FIG. 6A is a clock diagram of an image signal with an input frequency of 60 Hz. FIG. 6B is a clock diagram of the red, green and blue primary colors performing the same overdrive, wherein the origin is to T60 is the input time of the initial video signal, the brightness value of the initial video signal is 96, and the initial brightness value of the red, green and blue light is also 96. T62 is another time point when the video signal is input. Since the frequency of the video signal is 60 Hz, the time distance from the origin to T62 is 16.67 milliseconds, and T62 to T620 are the time when the video signal is input. The image signal input at T62 indicates that the display area needs to reach a brightness value of 192. Considering the longer response time of the pixel, the red, green and blue light performs an overdrive at T62. We make an overdrive correspondence table between the indication of the input image signal and the operation of the pixel voltage. When the image signal indicates that the brightness of a certain display area needs to be 192, the voltages of the three primary color pixels are all required to perform overdrive to increase the brightness to 202. voltage. Therefore, each luminance value indicated by each image signal will correspond to a different pixel voltage on the overdrive correspondence table. Because the light generation time of each color light is different, the response time of the pixel is enhanced by increasing the voltage to increase the display effect. .
但是,为了增加过激驱动的电压驱动效果,所以我们可把影像讯号先倍频后再做输入,当影像讯号倍频后,可将像素电压所执行的过激驱动分割成两个次过激驱动。图5A、图5B、及图5C即为分割成两个次过激驱动的实施例,图5A为倍频后的影像讯号,时间原点到T51的时距为8.3毫秒,于此计算频率为120赫兹。在此,我们采用如图6A的同一影像讯号倍频得到图5A的影像讯号,而图5A中原点到T50、T51到T510、及T52到T520为影像讯号的输入时间。因为倍频的缘故,输入影像讯号的亮度值的增加分为两阶段,原点到T50为起始亮度值96,T51到T510则增至192,T52到T520仍为亮度192。However, in order to increase the voltage driving effect of the overdrive, we can double the frequency of the image signal before inputting it. After the frequency of the image signal is doubled, the overdrive performed by the pixel voltage can be divided into two overdrives. Fig. 5A, Fig. 5B, and Fig. 5C are examples of dividing into two overexcited drives. Fig. 5A is the image signal after frequency doubling. The time distance from the time origin to T51 is 8.3 milliseconds, and the calculated frequency here is 120 Hz. . Here, we use the frequency multiplication of the same video signal as in FIG. 6A to obtain the video signal in FIG. 5A , and in FIG. 5A , the origin to T50 , T51 to T510 , and T52 to T520 are the input times of the video signal. Because of frequency doubling, the increase of the brightness value of the input video signal is divided into two stages, the initial brightness value is 96 from the origin to T50, the brightness value is increased to 192 from T51 to T510, and the brightness value is still 192 from T52 to T520.
其中,起始影像讯号的亮度值为96,而红绿蓝光的起始亮度值也为96。影像讯号指示在T51到T510需达到亮度值192,本实施例为了消除残影色差现象,将红绿光与蓝光分开执行过激驱动而各有不同的过激驱动对应表,其中,红绿光的像素在T51到T510执行第一个次过激驱动,对应本身的一个过激驱动对应表,在此时红绿光的像素需施予亮度值202的电压,而蓝光的像素在T51到T510亦执行第一个次过激驱动,但蓝光的像素依据本身的一个过激驱动对应表,在此蓝光的像素则施予亮度值198的电压。Wherein, the initial brightness value of the video signal is 96, and the initial brightness value of the red, green and blue lights is also 96. The video signal indicates that the luminance value needs to reach 192 from T51 to T510. In order to eliminate the residual image and color difference phenomenon, this embodiment separates the red and green light and the blue light to perform overdrive and each has a different overdrive corresponding table. Among them, the pixels of red and green light Execute the first overdrive from T51 to T510, which corresponds to its own overdrive correspondence table. At this time, the red and green pixels need to be given a voltage with a brightness value of 202, and the blue pixels also perform the first overdrive from T51 to T510. The pixels of blue light are driven according to their own overdrive corresponding table, and the pixels of blue light are given a voltage with a brightness value of 198.
然后,影像讯号指示在T52到T520此显示区域仍为达亮度值192,此时红绿光的像素与蓝光的像素仍分开驱动,红绿光的像素在T52到T520执行第二个次过激驱动,对应本身的另一个过激驱动对应表,在此时红绿光的像素仍施予亮度值202的电压,而蓝光的像素在T52到T520亦执行第二个次过激驱动,但蓝光的像素依据本身的另一个过激驱动对应表,在此蓝光的像素施予亮度值202的电压。所以在此实施例中,对不同原色提供不同的过激驱动对应表,以使传递不同原色色光的光传输介质的反应时间不同。所以红绿光的像素先执行一个次过激驱动到达亮度202所需的电压,而蓝光的像素先执行一个过激驱动到达亮度198所需的电压,在此提供蓝光的像素较低的过激驱动电压在于使传递蓝色色光的光传输介质的反应时间长于传递红色色光或绿色色光的光传输介质的反应时间。Then, the image signal indicates that the display area still has a brightness value of 192 from T52 to T520. At this time, the pixels of red and green light and the pixels of blue light are still driven separately, and the pixels of red and green light perform the second overdrive from T52 to T520. , corresponding to its own overdrive correspondence table, at this time the red and green pixels are still given a voltage with a brightness value of 202, and the blue pixels also perform the second overdrive from T52 to T520, but the blue pixels are based on Another overdrive corresponding table itself, where the pixels of blue light are given a voltage with a brightness value of 202. Therefore, in this embodiment, different overdrive corresponding tables are provided for different primary colors, so that the response times of the optical transmission media transmitting light of different primary colors are different. Therefore, the pixels of red and green light first perform an overdrive to reach the voltage required for the brightness of 202, while the pixels of blue light first perform an overdrive to reach the voltage required for the brightness of 198. Here, the lower overdrive voltage of the pixel for blue light lies in The reaction time of the light transmission medium that transmits the blue color light is made longer than the reaction time of the light transmission medium that transmits the red color light or the green color light.
在此,蓝光的像素的两个次过激驱动分别施予两个不同的次过激驱动电压,而红绿色光的像素均施予相同的过激驱动电压。由此可见,在进行多个次过激驱动操作时,只须使一部分原色具有多个不同的过激驱动对照表,以造成此原色的光传输介质与其它原色的光传输介质的反应时间不同,而能弥补各色色光的光产生时间的差异以消除残影像差现象即可。Here, two different sub-overdrive voltages are respectively applied to the two sub-overdrives of the pixels of blue light, and the same overdrive voltage is applied to the pixels of red and green lights. It can be seen that, when performing multiple times of overdrive operations, only a part of the primary colors need to have multiple different overdrive comparison tables, so that the response time of the optical transmission medium of this primary color is different from that of other primary colors. It is enough to compensate for the difference in the light generation time of each color light to eliminate the residual image aberration phenomenon.
所以每一影像讯号指示改变至每一亮度值在各原色光的过激驱动对应表上都会对应不同的像素电压,且同一原色光的像素执行每一个次过激电压都有各自的过激电压对应表,此藉由提高电压来加强像素的反应时间以弥补各色色光的产生时间的差异,进而增加显示效果。在此执行一个过激驱动并不局限于分割成两个次过激驱动,可以分割成多个次过激驱动而红绿光亦可分别过激驱动。Therefore, each image signal indicates that each luminance value will correspond to a different pixel voltage on the overdrive corresponding table of each primary color light, and the pixels of the same primary color light have their own overdrive voltage corresponding table for each secondary overdrive voltage. This enhances the response time of the pixel by increasing the voltage to compensate for the difference in the generation time of each color light, thereby increasing the display effect. The implementation of one overdrive here is not limited to being divided into two sub-overdrives, it can be divided into multiple overdrives and the red and green lights can also be overdriven separately.
图7为此实施例在平面显示器上移动物体亮度值96及背景亮度值192的动态图像响应曲线(MPRC),此曲线为三原色光迭合的曲线,在此已克服残像色差的问题。而图8为此实施例在平面显示器上移动物体亮度值192及背景亮度值96的动态图像响应曲线(MPRC),可看到绿光动态图像响应曲线801、红光动态图像响应曲线802、及蓝光动态图像响应曲线803差距甚小,因此可有效解决残像色差的问题。Fig. 7 shows the moving image response curve (MPRC) of moving
图9A、图9B、及图9C为本发明另一实施例的影像讯号及各原色光的像素驱动的时钟图,此时钟图显示当影像讯号从亮度值96变换至亮度值192时,像素执行过激驱动所施电压的时间点。图9A为影像讯号的时钟图,图9B为通过红光及绿光的像素执行一个过激驱动的时钟图,图9C则为通过蓝光的像素执行一个过激驱动的时钟图。本实施例亦为一种扫描式背光模块的平面显示器的一种像素驱动方法,此平面显示器为液晶平面显示器,所以光传输的介质为液晶。图9A~9C与图5A~5C的差别在于图9A~9C的时钟图显示红绿蓝三原色光的像素均仅执行过激驱动,而并不分割过激驱动为多个次过激驱动。Fig. 9A, Fig. 9B, and Fig. 9C are the clock diagrams of the video signal and the pixel driving of each primary color light according to another embodiment of the present invention. The point in time at which the applied voltage is overdriven. FIG. 9A is a clock diagram of an image signal, FIG. 9B is a clock diagram of an overdrive by red and green pixels, and FIG. 9C is a clock diagram of an overdrive by blue pixels. This embodiment is also a pixel driving method of a flat panel display of a scanning backlight module. The flat panel display is a liquid crystal flat panel display, so the light transmission medium is liquid crystal. The difference between FIGS. 9A-9C and FIGS. 5A-5C is that the clock diagrams in FIGS. 9A-9C show that the pixels of the red, green, and blue primary colors only perform overdrive, and do not divide the overdrive into multiple overdrives.
图9A中影像讯号的输入时间为原点到T90及T93到T930,而在此原点到T90为各原色的像素的起始亮度为96,并且,T93到T930各原色的像素需达到亮度192。在此,原点到T90红绿光与蓝光的起始亮度为96。然而,在时间T93到T930红绿光的像素与蓝光的像素分别进行不同的过激驱动。在T93到T930红绿光的像素进行过激驱动,而对照红绿光的过激驱动对照表,而施予亮度值202的电压。而在T93到T930时,蓝光的像素进行过激驱动,而对照蓝光过激驱动对照表施予亮度值198的电压。于此可藉红绿光与蓝光的过激驱动对照表不同,而能施予通过红绿光的像素与蓝光的像素不同的电压,而加强像素的反应时间。于是,在此对不同原色提供不同的过激驱动对应表,以使传递不同原色色光的光传输介质的反应时间不同,使传递蓝色色光的光传输介质的反应时间长于传递红色色光或绿色色光的光传输介质的反应时间。因此能弥补各色色光的光产生时间的不同,进而消除残影像差现象,本发明并不限定为倍频。The input time of the image signal in FIG. 9A is from the origin to T90 and from T93 to T930. From the origin to T90, the initial brightness of each primary color pixel is 96, and the brightness of each primary color pixel from T93 to T930 needs to reach 192. Here, the initial brightness from the origin to T90 red, green and blue light is 96. However, from time T93 to T930 , the pixels of red and green lights and the pixels of blue light are respectively overdriven differently. From T93 to T930, red and green pixels are over-driven, and a voltage with a brightness value of 202 is applied according to the red-green over-drive table. From T93 to T930, the blue light pixels are over-driven, and a voltage with a brightness value of 198 is applied according to the blue light over-drive comparison table. Here, different voltages can be applied to the pixels passing the red and green light and the pixels passing the blue light by virtue of the difference in the overdrive comparison tables of the red, green and blue light, thereby enhancing the response time of the pixels. Therefore, different overdrive corresponding tables are provided for different primary colors, so that the response time of the optical transmission medium that transmits different primary color light is different, and the response time of the optical transmission medium that transmits blue light is longer than that of the light transmission medium that transmits red or green light. Response time of the optical transmission medium. Therefore, the difference in the light generation time of each color light can be compensated, thereby eliminating the afterimage aberration phenomenon. The present invention is not limited to frequency doubling.
