Image analyzing unit 310 can generate color dim signal based on determining representative color.
However, above description is only example, and image analyzing unit 310 can also generate correspondence in other various methods In the color dim signal of the first image block DB1.The one side of the disclosure is each image for being analyzed It is (or more that the specific color dim signal (either multiple color dim signals) of block (for example, DB1) is different from brightness dim signal A brightness dim signal), wherein brightness dim signal is/is not specific color, and specific color dim signal is specific face Color.Therefore it provides the control of the more minute differences of backlight dimming function, wherein the image block (for example, DB1) analyzed Specific color attribute together with the image block (for example, DB1) analyzed more common brightness attribute be considered.Pass through consideration Specific color attribute can produce the image with smaller cross-color and/or can consume less power.
In some embodiments, image analyzing unit 310 not only can produce corresponding color dimming information, Er Qieke To generate the corresponding bright dimming information of each image block (for example, DB1).For example, image analyzing unit 310 can extract first The representative luminance value of image block DB1 and representative luminance value based on extraction generates brightness dim signal.
Data by analyzing each image block obtain the picture of each pixel corresponding to each image block (for example, DB1) Plain distortion value and pixel improved values (operation S50) can carry out as follows.
Referring to figs. 1 to Fig. 5 and Figure 10 to Figure 12, in the exemplary embodiment, operation S50 may include: to pass through analysis The hue coordinate and coordinates computed that will carry out color light modulation of each pixel coordinates computed system of corresponding first image block The hue coordinate (because they do not carry out color light modulation) (operation S51) as non-dimmable hue coordinate of system, determines non- Whether light modulation hue coordinate is located in the color region including preset reference coordinate (operation S52), if it is determined that non-dimmable color Coordinate is located in the color region including preset reference coordinate, calculates between color light modulation hue coordinate and non-dimmable hue coordinate Coordinate system in the first separating distance (operation S53), and determine whether calculated first distance is pixel " distortion " Value (operation S57).If determining that non-dimmable hue coordinate is not at the color area including preset reference coordinate in operation 52 In domain, then first distance, reference coordinate and the color light modulation between color light modulation hue coordinate and non-dimmable hue coordinate are calculated Third distance (operation S54) between second distance and reference coordinate between hue coordinate and non-dimmable hue coordinate.So Afterwards, determine whether calculated second distance is equal to or more than the calculated third distance in operation S54 in operation S54 (operation S55).If determining that second distance is equal to or more than third distance in operation S55, first distance is confirmed as picture Plain " improvement " value (operation S56).If determining that second distance is less than third distance in operation S55, first distance can be by It is determined as pixel " distortion " value (operation S57).
Operation S51 can be executed by hue coordinate computing unit 330.
More specifically, hue coordinate computing unit 330 can analyze the first image block DB1 (image block analyzed), and And based on correspond to the first image block DB1 in each pixel P pixel data Px determine its color light modulation hue coordinate and Its non-dimmable hue coordinate.
Color light modulation hue coordinate and non-dimmable hue coordinate can be positioned at preset color seat as shown in fig. 11 Coordinate in mark system 90.In the exemplary embodiment, preset color coordinate system 90 can be 1976 hue coordinate of CIE System.The advantages of 1976 color coordinate system of CIE, is that the geometric distance between the hue coordinate point of 1976 coordinate systems is basic Perception difference between the color of upper and human visual system perception is linearly related.
As shown in fig. 11, reference zone 910, reference coordinate point W can be defined in preset color coordinate system 90 With determining region 930.
When display device 10 is not limited when (for example, power limit) dims it (or in other words, when its progress is non- Light modulation), reference zone 910 (the reproducible gamut regions of a.k.a.) can be the color region expressed by display device 10.It can Alternatively, reference zone 910 can be national television system committee (NTSC) reference color region.
Reference coordinate point W can be white point red, that green and blue gray value is equal.In other words, reference coordinate point W It can be the hue coordinate of specific display device generated white when its R, G, B light source is driven by equal gray level.
Determine that region 930 is less than reference zone 910 and interior in reference zone 910 (the producible gamut regions of device), and And the determination region 930 is used as calculating a standard of pixel improved values and pixel distortion value.Determine region 930 It is construed as including reference coordinate point W.Its R, G, B light source for being also structured to driving display device, so that not in reference area Light source in the larger boundary in domain 910 (the producible gamut regions of device) is strong.In other words, if it is determined that the side in region 930 Boundary is not disturbed, and there will be no fully saturated R, G or B pixels, but on the other hand, when human visual system is not light Easy perceptual image and initially expected when being slightly away from of image, the luminance energy of the image will be more uniform in rgb light source Ground distribution, and electric power can be preferably saved.More specifically, if the pixel number for the image block (for example, DB1) analyzed According to the Rg as the red gray value for including, the Gg as the green gray value for including and as the blue gray scale for including The Bg of value, it is determined that region 930 can be defined as the region for meeting whole constraint conditions of equation (1) to (3):
|Rg-Gg|≤C1 (1)
|Gg-Bg|≤C2 (2)
|Bg-Rg|≤C3 (3)
Wherein, C1 to C3 can have the integer value selected in from 0 to 255 range, but not all can be 255.In other words, it is lower than 255 by reducing the one or more of C1, C2 and C3 constant, so that between the gray level of specific color Permission difference it is less obvious.
That is, determining that region 930 can be the absolute value of the difference met between red sum of the grayscale values green gray value and should wait It should be equal in or less than absolute value of the difference between the condition of the first setting value of C1, green sum of the grayscale values blue gray value Or the absolute value of the difference between the condition of the second setting value less than C2, blue sum of the grayscale values red gray value should be equal to or The region of the condition of third setting value of the person less than C3.Here, the first setting value to third setting value can be respectively 0 to 255 In the range of change, but it is not all can simultaneously be 255.Determine that the definition in region 930 can be predetermined and be stored in In display device 10 or light supply apparatus BLU.
For the multiple pixel data Px being shown in FIG. 10, the picture being located in blue region IB (for example, blue sky background) Prime number evidence can be defined as the first pixel data Pxa.In this case and refer to Figure 12, hue coordinate computing unit 330 can determine which light blue color pixel in analyzed image block (for example, DB1) is the non-dimmable color for not needing light modulation Which light blue color pixel in coordinate CPxa1 (spot CPxa1) and the image block analyzed (for example, DB1) is to need to dim Color dim hue coordinate CPxa2 (spot CPxa2), wherein the information is from the first pixel data Pxa (for example, blue sky picture Element) it obtains and is placed in the color coordinate system 90 as being shown in FIG. 12.In the exemplary embodiment, because first The representative color of image block DB1 is confirmed as blue as described above, and the color of the first pixel data Pxa dims hue coordinate CPxa2 can be positioned the saturation Bluepoint compared with non-dimmable hue coordinate CPxa1 relatively closer to display device colour gamut 910 (B).In addition, since light modulation hue coordinate CPxa2 spot is located at the reference zone 910 for the display device being such as shown in FIG. 12 The outside of (the producible gamut regions of device), these points sequentially must be converted (such as dimming out) for respective brightness It is generated with the display device (910) for becoming to be limited by colour gamut.
Similarly, for the pixel data Px (only with the pixel data of DB1) being shown in FIG. 10, positioned at what is analyzed Pixel data in the white area IW of image block (for example, DB1) can be defined as the second pixel data Pxb.In this feelings Under condition and Figure 13 is referred to, hue coordinate computing unit 330 can determine in color coordinate system 90 as shown in Figure 13 There are the non-dimmable hue coordinate CPxb1 of the second pixel data Pxb and color to dim hue coordinate CPxb2.In exemplary implementation In mode, since the representative color of the first image block DB1 has been determined as blue as described above, and due to working as non-dimmable color When coordinate CPxb1 closer white (W), the color light modulation hue coordinate CPxb2 of the second pixel data Pxb is positioned and white (W) it compares relatively closer to blue (B), so ought realize when human visual system does not see the change of perception and simultaneously When expectation in image to be shown improves (such as improvement contrast and/or reduction power consumption), color dims hue coordinate CPxb2 can be moved closer to white (W).
Above-mentioned operation S52 to S57 can be executed by operating unit 350.
Specifically, with reference to Figure 14, operating unit 350 determines calculated first picture of hue coordinate computing unit 330 first Whether prime number is located in predefined determining region 930 according to the non-dimmable hue coordinate CPxa1 of Pxa.As being shown in FIG. 14, Since the non-dimmable hue coordinate CPxa1 of the first pixel data Pxa is located at the outside in determining region 930, so operating unit 350 Calculate the first distance da1 between color light modulation hue coordinate CPxa2 and non-dimmable hue coordinate CPxa1.In addition, operating unit 350 calculate the second distance da2 and reference coordinate point W and non-between reference coordinate point W and color light modulation hue coordinate CPxa2 Dim the third distance da3 between hue coordinate CPxa1.Operating unit 350 determines whether second distance da2 is equal to or more than the Three distance da3.If it is determined that second distance da2 is equal to or more than third distance da3 (da2 >=da3), then operating unit 350 Determine that first distance da1 is pixel " improved values ".On the other hand, if it is determined that second distance da2 is less than third distance da3 (da2 < da3), then operating unit 350 determines that first distance da1 is pixel " distortion " value.In the illustrative embodiments provided, Because the second distance da2 in Figure 14 is greater than third distance da3, operating unit 350 determines that first distance da1 is the first picture Prime number according to Pxa pixel improved values.
Coordinate positioned at the outside for determining region 930 is poor to human vision between red, green and blue gray value The more obvious position of system.Therefore, strong color characteristics are shown.If color light modulation is used in these regions On the pixel data of the coordinate of 930 outsides, and if color light modulation hue coordinate is relatively colourless to be moved closer to Reference coordinate point W, then color Dimming operation will reduce color characteristics outstanding.Therefore, color light modulation hue coordinate and non-tune This range difference (relative to white W) between light hue coordinate is confirmed as pixel distortion value.On the other hand, if carrying out face Tone light, and if the color light modulation hue coordinate being related to quilt on the direction far from (relatively colourless) reference coordinate point W Mobile, then the color light modulation planned increases color characteristics (so that more life-like) outstanding.Therefore, in the latter case, face The distance between tone light hue coordinate and non-dimmable hue coordinate are confirmed as pixel " improvement " value.
Similarly, with reference to Figure 15, operating unit 350 determines calculated second pixel number of hue coordinate computing unit 330 Whether it is located in determining region 930 according to the non-dimmable hue coordinate CPxb1 of Pxb.As being shown in FIG. 15, because of the second pixel The non-dimmable hue coordinate CPxb1 of data Pxb is located at the inside for determining region 930, so operating unit 350 calculates color light modulation First distance db1 between hue coordinate CPxb2 and non-dimmable hue coordinate CPxb1.In addition, more due to mobile CPxb2 spot To reduce colouring discrimination close to relatively colourless reference coordinate point W, so the determination first distance db1 of operating unit 350 is the The pixel distortion value of two pixel data Pxb.
It as mentioned, is considered as between red, green and blue gray value positioned at the coordinate determined inside region 930 Difference unconspicuous position in terms of color.Therefore, weaker color characteristics are shown, with the coordinate phase outside determining region 930 Than these coordinates are relatively closer to white color coordinates point (W).If the pixel data of these coordinates outside with 930 is enterprising , most probably there is cross-color on the image that display panel 100 is shown in the light modulation of row color.Therefore, if non-dimmable color is sat Mark is confirmed as picture in the inside for determining region 930, color light modulation the distance between hue coordinate and non-dimmable hue coordinate Plain distortion value.
Determine whether that (it corresponds to the in the first light-emitting block based on determining pixel distortion value and the pixel improved values determined One image block) on carry out color light modulation (or color light modulation driving) (operation S70) and can carry out as follows.
Referring to figs. 1 to Fig. 6 and Figure 16, in the exemplary embodiment, operation S70 may include: the picture by making block Plain distortion value calculation block distortion value added together (operation S71), by the pixel improved values calculation block added together for making block Improved values (operation S72), and determine whether to carry out color light modulation on the first light-emitting block based on block distortion value and block improved values (or color light modulation driving) (operation S73).Operation S71 and S72 can be carried out in reverse order or simultaneously.
Above-mentioned operation S70 can be executed by pattern determining unit 370.
Figure 16 is the matrix for showing the value of each pixel data Px acquisition for the first image block DB1 of Figure 10.It is assumed that Computing unit 350 determines that the value of the white area IW corresponding to Figure 10 obtained corresponds to Figure 10 with what is obtained for pixel distortion value Blue region IB value be pixel improved values.

Pattern determining unit 370 is based on block distortion value Bd and is determined whether corresponding to light source module based on block improved values Ba Color light modulation is carried out on the first light-emitting block (B1) of 200 the first image block DB1.
In the exemplary embodiment, as fruit block distortion value Bd be greater than block improved values Ba, pattern determining unit 370 can be true It is fixed that planned color light modulation is carried out not on the first light-emitting block.Correspondingly, pattern determining unit 370 can not be to light source module Driving unit 390 provides the color dim signal of the first light-emitting block generated by image analyzing unit 310.If image analysis list Member 310 also generates brightness dim signal, and pattern determining unit 370 can be merely provided for the brightness dim signal of the first light-emitting block To light source module driving unit 390.

If image analyzing unit 310 also generates brightness dim signal, pattern determining unit 370 can be provided for the first light-emitting block Both color dim signal and brightness dim signal are to light source module driving unit 390.
However, above description is only example, pattern determining unit 370 is calibrated really will definitely be with variation.For example, mode determines Unit 370 can be by least any one offer weighting to block distortion value Bd and block improved values Ba to generate value and based on production Raw value determines whether to carry out color light modulation on the first light-emitting block.That is, calibrate really will definitely be with basis for pattern determining unit 370 It needs suitably to change, the range of the disclosure is not limited to above-mentioned example embodiment.
