Description

Liquid crystal display device and image signal processing method
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of liquid crystal display, and more particularly, to a liquid crystal display device and a method for processing an image signal applied to the liquid crystal display device.
Background
Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) are being used in various fields of production and living gradually due to their advantages of small size, light weight, and the like. Since the LCD is a passive display and does not emit light, the LCD requires a backlight unit as its light source to display images by means of transmitted light.
Conventional LCD display devices have two significant drawbacks: first, the power consumption is high. In electronic products using LCDs, the energy consumption of the LCD accounts for 30% to 70% of the total energy consumption, and the backlight of the LCD is the most power consuming part of the LCD. Second, the contrast is insufficient. Since the backlight is always fully bright and the LCD cannot turn off the unwanted light completely, even a black image does not appear sufficiently black, thereby causing a problem of reduced image contrast.
In order to solve the above problems, a full screen dynamic backlight technology using LEDs as a backlight source is proposed. One method of determining the dynamic backlight is to use the luminance maximum of the input image, but this method of using the maximum has problems of small power consumption saving and being too sensitive to noise. Another common method for determining dynamic backlight is to use the average brightness of the input image, but this method has the problem that the backlight brightness is too low and the image details are lost when processing a dark image.
In US20080291153 of hong kong applied science and technology research institute, a method of calculating the average and variance of brightness of an image by using a histogram of the image and obtaining a backlight adjustment value from the average and variance of brightness is proposed, but it has a problem that the brightness of a monochrome image backlight is too low, for example, the backlight brightness of a blue image calculated by this method is only 0.4, and when the image is displayed on an LCD, the phenomenon of too dark image is obvious.
Accordingly, the prior art is deficient and needs improvement.

A4, the calculation unit 104 calculates the backlight adjustment value T and sends the backlight adjustment value T to the backlight control unit 106. In the calculation unit, first the maximum value of the linear combination of the mean and standard deviation of the signals R ', G ', B ', noted X, is calculated, i.e.
X=Max(R’avg+a0*R’std;G’avg+a0*G’std;B’avg+a0*B’std)
Wherein the value range of a0 is (0, 1), namely, a0 is more than 0 and less than or equal to 1.
Secondly, a brightness adjustment value T is calculated according to X, and the formula is as follows:
T=(1-Tmin)X/255+Tminformula (10)
Wherein T isminIs a pre-specified parameter with a numerical range of [0.5, 0.9 ]]I.e. 0.5. ltoreq. TminLess than or equal to 0.9. When the value of X is larger than 255, the value of T is fixed to 1.
As can be seen from the above formula, when a black image is displayed, that is, when the gray scale of each pixel point is 0, X is 0, and formula (10) is substituted, T is TminThe brightness value during the black screen is reduced to the maximum extent, so that the screen is dark enough, and the contrast is improved.
When the image has a small standard deviationWhen monochrome image, by reasonably presetting parameter TminThe situation that the backlight brightness is too low can be avoided.
A5, the backlight control unit 106 calculates the backlight brightness signal BL according to the backlight adjustment value T, and the preset reference brightness value S or the reference brightness value S input by the user:
BL is S X T formula (11)
The backlight control unit 106 sends the backlight luminance signal BL to the backlight driving module 140, and drives the LED backlight module 150 to emit a backlight with a specified luminance, so as to illuminate the liquid crystal panel 130.
For example, the step a5 further includes a step a51 in which the backlight driving module 140 buffers the backlight luminance signal BL, thereby synchronizing the output of the image signal with the output of the backlight adjustment value.
For example, in any of the image signal processing methods described above, step a0 is further performed before any of steps a1 through a5, and the user input unit 105 presets the luminance reference value S. The user input unit sends S to the backlight control unit 106 for calculating the backlight brightness signal BL.

Calculate outR’avg,G’avg,B’avgAnd R'std,G’std,B’stdThen, the operations are sequentially performed according to the steps a4, a5 and a6 in embodiment 3 until a backlight luminance signal BL is obtained, and the backlight luminance signal BL is output to the backlight driving module 140 to drive the LED backlight module 150 to illuminate the liquid crystal panel 130. And will not be described in detail herein.
By performing the full-screen dynamic backlight processing on the image signal, the method remarkably reduces power consumption and improves contrast. In addition, the luminance average value and the standard deviation of the image are simultaneously considered when calculating the backlight luminance. Since the brightness mean and the standard deviation are statistics, even if there is noise on the image, the backlight adjustment value obtained by the final calculation is not affected. For an image with a small luminance average value and standard deviation, the parameter T in equation (10) is controlledminAn ideal adjustment value can be obtained, and the situation that the backlight brightness is too low can not occur.
It will be understood that modifications and variations can be made by persons skilled in the art in light of the above teachings and all such modifications and variations are intended to be included within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
