Description of the Invention [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a system and method for use in a display, and more particularly to a system and method for making a backlight control signal and a video signal in phase. [Prior Art] At present, televisions and displays made by liquid crystal display technology are mass-produced, and televisions and displays made by conventional cathode ray tubes (Cath〇de Ray = be^CRT) have been gradually replaced. However, compared to cathode ray officers, current liquid crystal display technologies still have limitations that are yet to be overcome and improved. The conventional Scan Backlight technology is used to enable the liquid crystal display of the Hold type to effectively simulate the pulsed type of cathode ray tube. The backlight tube is turned on and off intermittently to reduce the liquid crystal display time, that is, to reduce the residual image perceived by the human eye (AfterImage), and to reduce the gray-scale response time by at least one surface with the Over Drive method. (Frame) time to improve the dynamic image quality of the LCD. However, the conventional scanning backlight technology faces the problem that the backlight switch time and the image display time are different. Due to the process and cost considerations, each pixel cannot have its own backlight tube to control the pixel's smashing and extinguishing. Therefore, a general number of lamps are generally set in the liquid crystal display, and are controlled sequentially by the control signal. The backlight tube is lit and off. 5 1282962 = 'The figure shows the schematic of the scanning Μ module. The application example in the figure assumes that the entire surface of the image is formed into four image areas by using the scanning backlight technology. Each image area is made up of backlights f 1G4a, iQ4b, purchased or purchased under the image area. The in-phase processing of all the pixels above the culvert is called in-phase, and the pixels on the other columns of the image area 102 are inversion ((10) Phase), because pixels and pixels The display time between the two is short, so only consider each pixel column in the vertical direction. The cover is determined by the distance. The transmission of the image signal is progressive π0-6)' so when the image area (10) is to be displayed, the back (4) Tube! 04b will be hunted by the control signal of the backlight tube to turn on. However, from the first-point pixel display in the image area 102 to the final point pixel display of the image area (10), there will be a delay time;夕卜' Due to the limitations of the liquid crystal itself, the grayscale brightness changes sequentially in a stepwise manner each time the grayscale changes, so a jump from the grayscale value to another grayscale value also requires a response time ((4) Time). The backlight tube 1 servant can only be turned on for the backlight tube. Please refer to the lb diagram and the lc diagram. The ib diagram shows the LCD signal and the backlight tube control signal diagram. The lc diagram shows the LCD. The signal is combined with the backlight 笞 control signal. In Figure 1 b, the pixel is changed from the grayscale value 155 to the grayscale value 160. The pixel passes through the display of the initial grayscale value 155 to the target grayscale value of 160. A response time of 15 〇 b, this response time can be reduced by at least one picture time by overload drive. If another pixel is also changed from the initial gray level value 155 to the target gray level value of 16 ,, because the image signal is progressive The display will cause 1,282,962 a delay time 165 with the aforementioned pixels. If the backlight control signal 丨7〇 during the on period of 1 5Ob, the liquid crystal grayscale value has reached the target grayscale value 丨6〇, then In phase 'phase', as shown by the in-phase product waveform 180 in Figure 1c. Next, consider the Out Phase condition, that is, the backlight tube control signal 17 is in the turn-on period 1 50b, at this time, the liquid crystal gray The order value has not yet reached the target gray level value and is still in the response time, but the backlight tube is turned on, so the image display will produce the so-called 'ghosting' phenomenon, as in the ic diagram Product - The inverted waveform in waveform 1 82 is shown as 84. β Therefore, the backlight tube and the image signal cannot reach the same phase, which in turn leads to a decrease in the quality of the animation. In this case, a large-size LCD TV (LCD) TV) or liquid crystal display (LCD Monitor) will be more obvious, so it is necessary to deal with this situation to improve the quality of animation. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an image display system and an improved image. The method of displaying quality can at least achieve any of the following objectives. The object of the present invention is to provide an image display system and a method for improving the image display quality, which use the gain coefficient values measured in advance to adjust the driving voltage of each pixel in each image area, so that each image area is The image signal of the pixel is in phase with the control signal of the backlight tube, thereby improving the animation quality. The invention can be applied not only to the liquid crystal of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) or the light emitting diode (LED). Display, LCD TV, and month b is used in Information Technology (IT) scanning 7 1282962 products. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for displaying a scorpion with an elk-mouth, a display system, and an improvement of the image, the image, and the like, for modifying the r ΑΛ. The image response time (〇vmg Picture Response Time; MPRT ^ ^ ^ screen has better dynamic quality. MPRT), so that the second purpose of the entire display is to provide an image display quality method, which can be used for analysis And the control signal and the second phase of the backlight tube are further provided to provide an image display system for displaying the image quality of the ancient image, which is used for cost consideration without increasing the cost. Backlight: = phase drive circuit (ie no need to increase the image area), the application of the invention can easily obtain the best quality of the book, and can be applied to the scanning backlight system at the same time.
