本发明是关于一种调变系统及其调变方法,特别是有关于一种适应式背光调变系统及其调变方法。The present invention relates to a modulation system and a modulation method thereof, in particular to an adaptive backlight modulation system and a modulation method thereof.
背景技术Background technique
液晶显示器通常分为穿透式液晶显示器、反射式液晶显示器以及半穿透/半反射式液晶显示器,穿透式液晶显示器设有背光模块(Backlight Module)。背光模块使用的发光源大致可分为冷阴极萤光灯(Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp,CCFL)、热阴极萤光灯、发光二极体或其他电激发光元件(Electro LuminescentDevice,EL device),目前的主流为冷阴极萤光灯(CCFL)。Liquid crystal displays are generally divided into transmissive liquid crystal displays, reflective liquid crystal displays, and semi-transmissive/semi-reflective liquid crystal displays. The transmissive liquid crystal displays are provided with a backlight module (Backlight Module). The light sources used in the backlight module can be roughly divided into cold cathode fluorescent lamps (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp, CCFL), hot cathode fluorescent lamps, light emitting diodes or other electroluminescent devices (Electro Luminescent Device, EL device), the current The mainstream is the cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL).
由于液晶显示器在暗态(亦即灰阶值较低)的状况具有较显著的漏光效应。而且随着液晶显示面板的尺寸不断成长的需求以及其应用普及于电视系统,导致显示器的观赏视角要求较以往的电脑系统应用提高甚多,所以对各个视角在暗态漏光的现象有愈来愈严格的要求。另外,为了提升动态对比来增进面板的观赏品质,需要即时地动态调整背光。然而传统背光调整往往仅考虑环境光源等因素,而忽略上述问题,因此传统的调整方式容易使液晶显示器产生闪烁的现象,在液晶屏幕上造成发光不均匀使得液晶显示器的画面影像品质不稳定。The light leakage effect is more obvious when the liquid crystal display is in a dark state (that is, the gray scale value is lower). Moreover, with the ever-increasing demands of the size of the liquid crystal display panel and its application in the TV system, the viewing angle of the display is required to be much higher than that of the previous computer system application, so the phenomenon of light leakage in the dark state of each viewing angle is becoming more and more strict requirements. In addition, in order to improve the viewing quality of the panel by improving the dynamic contrast, it is necessary to dynamically adjust the backlight in real time. However, the traditional backlight adjustment often only considers factors such as the ambient light source and ignores the above-mentioned problems. Therefore, the traditional adjustment method is likely to cause flickering phenomena on the LCD, and uneven light emission on the LCD screen makes the image quality of the LCD screen unstable.
因此需要发展一种背光调变系统,以提升显示器画面的品质。Therefore, it is necessary to develop a backlight modulation system to improve the image quality of the display.

The backlight modulation system 100 is suitable for a liquid crystal display device, and mainly includes a brightness
背光控制装置108分别连接于亮度配对分布装置102以及亮度补偿模块104,该背光控制装置108依据前一个图像框的亮度索引值118a以及目前图像框的亮度配对分布值,以更新目前图像框的亮度索引值118b,以产生对应于目前图像框的背光控制信号。背光模块110分别连接于背光控制装置108,该背光控制装置108依据产生的背光控制信号来调整该背光模块100的背光亮度,使得目前图像框的亮度与背光模块100的发光曲线适应性地匹配。The
根据上述,本发明的背光调变系统100将图像框影像的亮度配对分布曲线与前一个背光亮度发光曲线的亮度索引值118b经过亮度补偿模块104的处理可获得亮度补偿信号的参数,此参数用于修正图像框的影像数据,以补偿背光模块100在调变过程中的影像一致性与提高影像对比的需求。同时将图像框影像的亮度配对分布曲线与前一个背光亮度发光曲线的亮度索引值118b经过背光控制装置108的处理可得到背光控制信号的参数,此参数用于产生新的亮度索引值118a,以调变背光模块。因此本发明利用这两种参数适应性地调整图像框影像以及将背光投射在显示该图像框影像的显示装置114上,使显示装置114上呈现的影像维持一致性,改善画面品质,并且节约电源来降低显示装置114的工作温度。According to the above, the backlight modulation system 100 of the present invention can process the
第2A图示出依据本发明之一实施例中一图像框的亮度配对分布曲线的示意图。亮度配对分布曲线的横轴座标表示灰阶值,纵轴表示对应于该灰阶值的像素数量。在亮度补偿模块中的暗态比例值(Black Ratio,BR)系表示在每一图像框中灰阶值低于一参考值(n)的像素个数(m)与该图像框的像素总个数(o)两者的比值(m/o)乘以灰阶解析度(表示为k,其值例如可为255或是任意的正整数)。FIG. 2A shows a schematic diagram of a brightness pair distribution curve of an image frame according to an embodiment of the present invention. The coordinates on the horizontal axis of the brightness pair distribution curve represent the grayscale value, and the vertical axis represents the number of pixels corresponding to the grayscale value. The dark state ratio value (Black Ratio, BR) in the brightness compensation module means that in each image frame, the gray scale value is lower than the number of pixels (m) of a reference value (n) and the total number of pixels of the image frame The ratio (m/o) of the number (o) is multiplied by the gray scale resolution (expressed as k, the value of which can be 255 or any positive integer, for example).
进一步而言,本发明的亮度索引值为在每一图像框中最大的像素灰阶值乘以第一加权值与该暗态比例值乘以第二加权值两者的总和。亦即当计算每一图像框的亮度配对分布值而取得一最亮点的灰阶值为k,定义亮度索引值(Brightness Index,BI)为BI=q×k+(1-q)×BR,其中q为可调整的第一加权值,例如介于0~1的间或是任意的正整数,且(1-q)为第二加权值。该亮度索引值用以表示每一图像框暗态以及亮态的像素的比例关系,以作为修正影像数据以及调整背光的参数。Further, the brightness index value of the present invention is the sum of the maximum pixel gray scale value multiplied by the first weighted value and the dark state ratio value multiplied by the second weighted value in each image frame. That is to say, when calculating the brightness pair distribution value of each image frame to obtain the gray scale value k of the brightest point, define the brightness index value (Brightness Index, BI) as BI=q×k+(1-q)×BR, where q is an adjustable first weighted value, for example between 0 and 1 or any positive integer, and (1-q) is a second weighted value. The brightness index value is used to represent the proportional relationship between dark and bright pixels of each image frame, which is used as a parameter for correcting image data and adjusting backlight.
第2B图示出依据本发明之一实施例中暗态补偿曲线的示意图。在1实施例中,为了补偿因背光亮度调降所造成的灰阶值变化,本发明系利用修正图像框的亮度曲线的方法来加以补偿,如第2B图所示。亮度曲线200的横轴座标表示变动之前的灰阶值,纵轴表示对应于变动前灰阶值的变动后灰阶值,亦即以暗态比例值BR乘以常数R(任意的正整数)定义为R_BR,将其作为灰阶值的提升点,使得在横轴灰阶值的n转换为纵轴灰阶值的(n+R_BR),并且将其转换点以线性延伸的方式分别与0及255点(或是任意的正整数)相连接,以产生一新暗态补偿曲线。应注意的是虚线202表示调整背光之前的原始暗态补偿曲线202。FIG. 2B shows a schematic diagram of a dark state compensation curve according to an embodiment of the present invention. In one embodiment, in order to compensate for the change of the gray scale value caused by the reduction of the brightness of the backlight, the present invention uses a method of correcting the brightness curve of the image frame to compensate, as shown in FIG. 2B. The horizontal axis coordinate of the
第2C图示出依据本发明第1图的伽玛控制器116利用第2B图的暗态补偿曲线产生新暗态补偿曲线的示意图。在第1图中,背光调变系统100包含连接于亮度补偿模块104的伽玛控制器116,伽玛控制器116接收来自该亮度补偿模块104的亮度补偿信号,然后将该亮度补偿信号乘以第一调整参数并且将伽玛信号204乘以第二调整参数作求和来产生新的暗态补偿曲线206,以作为亮度补偿模块104的亮度补偿信号。亦即将原始的伽玛曲线乘上(1-p)然后加上暗态补偿曲线乘上p,其中可调整参数p系介于0~1的间,或是任意的正整数。FIG. 2C shows a schematic diagram of the
参考第1图以及第3图,第3图示出依据本发明在第1图背光控制装置中的图像框检测模块108a的详细方块图。图像框检测模块108a连接于亮度配对分布装置102,利用目前图像框的亮度配对分布值以及前一个图像框的亮度配对分布值两者的配对分布差值,并且将该配对分布差值除以该目前图像框的亮度配对分布值,以检测该目前图像框与该前一个图像框的间的图像框差异性,依据该图像框差异性判断是否将该目前图像框的亮度索引值118a直接变更至目标亮度索引值。在本发明的较佳实施例中,目前图像框的亮度索引值118a以及前一个图像框的亮度索引值118b储存于索引数据储存装置118中。Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, FIG. 3 shows a detailed block diagram of the image
具体而言,图像框的背景变化检测机制系依前/后两图像框的亮度配对分布图,假设第n页与第n+1页的亮度对分布趋势图分别为:Specifically, the background change detection mechanism of the image frame is based on the brightness pair distribution diagram of the front/back two image frames, assuming that the brightness pair distribution trend diagrams of the nth page and the n+1th page are respectively:
Hn(0),Hn(1),...,Hn(a);Hn(0), Hn(1), ..., Hn(a);
Hn+1(0),Hn+1(1),...,Hn+1(a);其中a为一正整数,例如可为上述的灰阶值解析度k。Hn+1(0), Hn+1(1), . . . , Hn+1(a); wherein a is a positive integer, such as the above-mentioned gray scale value resolution k.
根据上述,图像框差异性hist_diff_ratio=D_S/S,当图像框差异性大于一阈值(Threshold Value),将目前图像框的亮度索引值直接变更至目标亮度索引值,例如在场景快速变动的际,往往亦伴随着显著的闪烁现象,此刻可将背光一次调整至最终亮度。反的在平滑场景采用缓步变更亮度索引值,以避免人眼察觉闪烁现象。According to the above, the image frame difference hist_diff_ratio=D_S/S, when the image frame difference is greater than a threshold value (Threshold Value), the brightness index value of the current image frame is directly changed to the target brightness index value, for example, when the scene changes rapidly, Often accompanied by significant flickering, the backlight can be adjusted to the final brightness once at this moment. On the contrary, in a smooth scene, the brightness index value is changed gradually to avoid the flickering phenomenon detected by the human eye.
继续参考第1图,本发明的背光调变系统100亦包含一对比度比较模块108b,连接于亮度配对分布装置102,利用目前图像框以及该前一个图像框的亮度配对分布值分别计算该目前图像框以及该前一个图像框的对比度比值,并且比较该两图像框的对比度比值,以依据该比较结果判断是否调整背光。由于人眼对“对比度”较为敏锐,而无法察觉绝对亮度约略差异,因此当图像框的对比度一致,将保留原始亮度,不作任何改变,以避免整体亮度变化导致画面闪动。具体而言,对比度定义为每一图像框的最高亮度减去最低亮度:CR=max(Y)min(Y)。当前后两页图像框(图像框N与图像框N+1)的CR_n与CR_n+1的差异值小于阈值CR_th,表示此两页的对比度几乎相同,此时不调整背光,反的则调整背光。Continuing to refer to FIG. 1, the backlight modulation system 100 of the present invention also includes a
在本发明的实施例中,当目前图像框的亮度索引值与目标亮度索引值不相同,该图像框检测模块以该图像框差异性的差距比例将目前的亮度索引值逐步调整至该目标亮度索引值。每次变更幅度定义为BR_INC,其可依(a)画面差距比例;(b)亮度差距比例;以及(c)固定比例,举例说明如下:In an embodiment of the present invention, when the brightness index value of the current image frame is different from the target brightness index value, the image frame detection module gradually adjusts the current brightness index value to the target brightness according to the difference ratio of the image frame difference index value. The range of each change is defined as BR_INC, which can be based on (a) screen difference ratio; (b) brightness difference ratio; and (c) fixed ratio, examples are as follows:
(a)画面差距比例:(a) Screen gap ratio:
此处画面差距定义为图像框差异性hist_diff_ratio。当画面差异度为K,每次变更的上限为一固定比例值c,意即以c×K作为每次变化的间距。倘若目前亮度索引为BR_curr,目标亮度索引为BR_dest,则下一次亮度索引则为BR_curr+c×K直至BR_dest。Here the frame difference is defined as the image frame difference hist_diff_ratio. When the screen difference is K, the upper limit of each change is a fixed ratio value c, which means that c×K is used as the interval of each change. If the current luminance index is BR_curr and the target luminance index is BR_dest, then the next luminance index is BR_curr+c×K until BR_dest.
例如目前亮度为100,而目标亮度为127,画面差异度均为20,若固定比例值c为0.5,则第一次变更后,亮度索引为100+20×0.5=110;第二次变更:110+20×0.5=120;第三次变更:120+20×0.5=130>127,则输出127。For example, the current brightness is 100, the target brightness is 127, and the screen difference is 20. If the fixed ratio value c is 0.5, after the first change, the brightness index is 100+20×0.5=110; the second change: 110+20×0.5=120; third change: 120+20×0.5=130>127, then output 127.
若目标亮度低于目前亮度,则亮度逐渐下降,例如目前亮度为100,目标亮度为87,画面差异度为20,比例值为0.5,则第一次变更:100-20×0.5=90;第二次变更:90-20×0.5=80<87,则输出87。If the target brightness is lower than the current brightness, the brightness will gradually decrease. For example, the current brightness is 100, the target brightness is 87, the screen difference is 20, and the ratio value is 0.5, then the first change: 100-20×0.5=90; Secondary change: 90-20×0.5=80<87, then output 87.
(b)亮度差距比例:(b) Brightness difference ratio:
如第4A图所示,其示出依据本发明之一实施例中图像框检测模块以目前亮度索引值与目标亮度索引值的间的差距比例将目前的亮度索引值逐步调整至该目标亮度索引值的示意图。当目前图像框的亮度索引值与目标亮度索引值不相同,图像框检测模块以目前亮度索引值与该目标亮度索引值的间的差距比例将目前的亮度索引值逐步调整至该目标亮度索引值。As shown in Figure 4A, it shows that according to an embodiment of the present invention, the image frame detection module gradually adjusts the current brightness index value to the target brightness index according to the difference ratio between the current brightness index value and the target brightness index value Value diagram. When the brightness index value of the current image frame is different from the target brightness index value, the image frame detection module gradually adjusts the current brightness index value to the target brightness index value according to the difference ratio between the current brightness index value and the target brightness index value .
当目前亮度与目标亮度差距愈大,每次跳跃幅度愈大,其变更幅度则为(Br_dest Br_curr)乘上固定比例值c,例如:c=0.5,目前亮度=100,目标亮度为150,第一次变更:100+0.5×(150-100)=125;第二次变更:125+0.5×(150-125)=138;第三次变更:138+0.5×(150-138)=144。When the difference between the current brightness and the target brightness is larger, the jump range is larger each time, and the range of change is (Br_dest Br_curr) multiplied by a fixed ratio value c, for example: c=0.5, the current brightness=100, the target brightness is 150, the first The first change: 100+0.5×(150-100)=125; the second change: 125+0.5×(150-125)=138; the third change: 138+0.5×(150-138)=144.
(c)固定比例:(c) Fixed ratio:
如第4B图所示,其示出依据本发明之一实施例中图像框检测模块将目前的亮度索引值以固定的比例逐步调整至目标亮度索引值的示意图。当目前图像框的亮度索引值与目标亮度索引值不相同,该图像框检测模块将目前的亮度索引值以固定的比例逐步调整至目标亮度索引值。As shown in FIG. 4B , it shows a schematic diagram of the image frame detection module gradually adjusting the current brightness index value to the target brightness index value at a fixed ratio according to an embodiment of the present invention. When the brightness index value of the current image frame is different from the target brightness index value, the image frame detection module gradually adjusts the current brightness index value to the target brightness index value in a fixed ratio.
无论画面差异度为何,固定调整比例为k,直至达到最终亮度BR_dest。例如,目前亮度BR_curr=100,目标亮度BR_dest=117,调整比例c=10,第一次变更:100+10=110;第二次变更:110+10=120>117,则输出117。Regardless of the image difference, the fixed adjustment ratio is k until the final brightness BR_dest is reached. For example, current brightness BR_curr=100, target brightness BR_dest=117, adjustment ratio c=10, first change: 100+10=110; second change: 110+10=120>117, then output 117.
第5图示出依据本发明之一实施例中在产生目标亮度与决定目前亮度可为不同的图像框的示意图。在产生目标亮度与决定目前亮度可为不同页次的图像框,当决定目标亮度切换函式为F_dest与目前亮度切换函式F_curr之后,每隔F_dest页次来决定最后输出亮度索引,而目前亮度在每F_chg(表示页次的亮度索引随着时间轴的变化过程)页次后变更为新的亮度索引,意即当场景剧烈变化,目前亮度可直接变换为目标亮度索引,反之则逐渐变更亮度索引。FIG. 5 shows a schematic diagram of an image frame that may be different in generating a target brightness and determining a current brightness in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. After generating the target brightness and determining the current brightness, the image frame can be in different pages. After the target brightness switching function is determined to be F_dest and the current brightness switching function F_curr, the final output brightness index is determined every F_dest page, and the current brightness Change to a new brightness index after every F_chg (representing the change process of the brightness index of the page with the time axis), which means that when the scene changes drastically, the current brightness can be directly converted to the target brightness index, otherwise, the brightness will be gradually changed index.
