Description

液晶顯示器及其驅動方法Liquid crystal display and driving method thereof

本發明係關於一種液晶顯示器及其驅動方法。The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display and a method of driving the same.

液晶顯示器因其具有重量輕、體積小及耗電少等優點,廣泛應用於電視、筆記本、電腦、行動電話、個人數位助理等現代化資訊設備。傳統液晶顯示器係採用穩態(Hold Type)之驅動方式,然當其用於動態顯示時,容易產生動態殘影現象,影響其顯示品質。Due to its light weight, small size and low power consumption, liquid crystal displays are widely used in modern information equipment such as televisions, notebooks, computers, mobile phones, and personal digital assistants. The conventional liquid crystal display adopts a driving mode of a cold type. However, when it is used for dynamic display, dynamic image sticking phenomenon is easily generated, which affects the display quality.

經分析,傳統液晶顯示器產生動態殘影的原因主要有二:一係液晶分子之響應速度較慢從而其在指定時間內無法扭轉至目標灰階;二係人眼對一定時間內之畫面亮度具有積分平均之光學反應。目前,業界通常藉由過驅動(overdrive)技術改善因液晶分子響應速度較慢造成之動態殘影;而對於人眼對一定時間內畫面亮度之積分平均所造成之動態殘影,則藉由插黑技術(Black Frame Insertion Technology)進行改善。After analysis, there are two main reasons for the dynamic image sticking of the traditional liquid crystal display: the response speed of a series of liquid crystal molecules is slow, so that it can not be reversed to the target gray level within a specified time; the second line of human eyes has a picture brightness for a certain period of time. The average optical response of the integral. At present, the industry usually improves the dynamic afterimage caused by the slow response speed of liquid crystal molecules by using overdrive technology; and the dynamic afterimage caused by the integral of the brightness of the screen of the human eye for a certain period of time is inserted by means of interpolation. Black Frame Insertion Technology is being improved.

其中,插黑技術係藉由將幀頻率提高一倍並同時將一幀畫面分成時間相等的一第一子幀(Sub-frame)及一第二子幀,使該第一子幀顯示正常畫面,第二子幀顯示黑畫面。由於該第二子幀顯示黑畫面,不會造成視覺殘留,從而採用插黑技術的液晶顯示器,其動態殘影僅在其中一子幀內出現,即殘影時間大致減少為原來的一半,故其可改善傳統液晶顯示器之動態殘影現象。The black insertion technique causes the first subframe to display a normal picture by doubling the frame frequency and simultaneously dividing one frame into a first sub-frame and a second sub-frame with equal time. The second sub-frame displays a black picture. Since the second sub-frame displays a black screen, it does not cause visual residual. Therefore, the liquid crystal display using the black insertion technology has its dynamic afterimage appearing only in one sub-frame, that is, the afterimage time is reduced to approximately half of the original, so It can improve the dynamic image sticking phenomenon of traditional liquid crystal displays.

下面舉例說明插黑技術改善傳統液晶顯示器動態殘影現象之原理。為便於分析,我們將每一幀等分為八個時段1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8。根據人眼對一定時間內的畫面亮度具有積分平均的光學反應的原理,人眼在某一時段實際看到之光學反應係自該時段開始後的八個時段內被輸入灰階之平均值,即將自該時段開始後的八個時段內之被輸入灰階加總後再除以8。假設液晶顯示器(以其中之一畫素單元為例)由一靜態畫面轉變為另一靜態畫面時(即進行動態顯示時),其第一幀至第四幀的目標灰階分別為84、128、128、128。The following examples illustrate the principle of inserting black technology to improve the dynamic image sticking phenomenon of traditional liquid crystal displays. For the sake of analysis, we divide each frame into eight time periods 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. According to the principle of the optical response of the human eye to the integral average of the brightness of the picture in a certain period of time, the optical reaction actually seen by the human eye in a certain period of time is input to the average value of the gray level in the eight time periods after the start of the period. The input grayscales will be added to the eight time periods after the start of the time period and then divided by 8. Assuming that the liquid crystal display (taking one of the pixel units as an example) transitions from one still picture to another (ie, when dynamic display is performed), the target gray levels of the first frame to the fourth frame are 84, 128, respectively. , 128, 128.

請參閱圖1,係傳統液晶顯示器之被輸入灰階隨時間變化之曲線與人眼實際看到之光學反應隨時間變化之曲線示意圖。對於傳統液晶顯示器來說,每幀的八個時段之被輸入灰階均為本幀之目標灰階,則第一幀至第四幀的共32時段的被輸入灰階依序為84、84、84、84、84、84、84、84;128、128、128、128、128、128、128、128;128、128、128、128、128、128、128、128;128、128、128、128、128、128、128、128。因此,傳統液晶顯示器其被輸入灰階隨時間變化之曲線將如圖1中曲線L1所示。根據人眼在某一時段實際看到之光學反應係自該時段開始後的八個時段內被輸入灰階之平均值之計算原理可得,人眼在該第一幀1-8時段中所看到的光學反應(即實際看到之灰階)依序為84×8/8、(84×7+128×1)/8、(84×6+128×2)/8、(84×5+128×3)/8、(84×4+128×4)/8、(84×3+128×5)/8、(84×2+ 128×6)/8、(84×1+128×7)/8;同樣根據上述計算原理,亦可得到人眼在該第二幀至第四幀的其他24時段中所看到的光學反應為128、128、128、128、128、128、128、128;128、128、128、128、128、128、128、128;128、128、128、128、128、128、128、128,即,傳統液晶顯示器中人眼實際看到之光學反應隨時間變化之曲線如圖1中曲線L2所示。其中,該傳統液晶顯示器在該第一幀至第四幀中的殘影時間T1為人眼看到之光學反應發生變化之時段,大致為8個時段。Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a graph showing the relationship between the gray scale of the conventional liquid crystal display and the optical response actually seen by the human eye as a function of time. For a conventional liquid crystal display, the input gray level of the eight time periods of each frame is the target gray level of the current frame, and the input gray scales of the first 32 frames of the first frame to the fourth frame are sequentially 84, 84. , 84, 84, 84, 84, 84, 84; 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128; 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128; 128, 128, 128 , 128, 128, 128, 128, 128. Therefore, the curve of the conventional liquid crystal display whose input gray scale changes with time will be as shown by the curve L1 in FIG. According to the calculation principle that the optical reaction actually seen by the human eye in a certain period of time is input to the average value of the gray scales in the eight time periods after the start of the period, the human eye is in the first frame 1-8 period. The optical reaction seen (ie, the gray scale actually seen) is 84×8/8, (84×7+128×1)/8, (84×6+128×2)/8, (84× 5+128×3)/8, (84×4+128×4)/8, (84×3+128×5)/8, (84×2+ 128×6)/8, (84×1+128×7)/8; also according to the above calculation principle, the optical reaction seen by the human eye in the other 24 periods of the second frame to the fourth frame can also be obtained. 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128; 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128; 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, ie The curve of the optical response actually seen by the human eye in time in the conventional liquid crystal display is shown by the curve L2 in FIG. The afterimage time T1 of the conventional liquid crystal display in the first frame to the fourth frame is a period in which the optical reaction seen by the human eye changes, and is substantially eight periods.

請參閱圖2,係採用插黑技術之液晶顯示器之被輸入灰階隨時間變化之曲線與人眼實際看到之光學反應隨時間變化之曲線示意圖。對於採用插黑技術之液晶顯示器來說,其每幀的前四個時段之被輸入灰階為本幀之目標灰階,每幀的後四個時段之被輸入灰階為0灰階,因此,其第一幀至第四幀的共32時段的被輸入灰階依序為84、84、84、84、0、0、0、0;128、128、128、128、0、0、0、0;128、128、128、128、0、0、0、0;128、128、128、128、0、0、0、0。因此,插黑技術之液晶顯示器其被輸入灰階隨時間變化之曲線將如圖2中曲線L3所示。根據人眼在某一時段實際看到之光學反應係自該時段開始後的八個時段內被輸入灰階之平均值之計算原理可得人眼在該第一幀至第四幀的共32時段中所看到的光學反應(即實際看到之灰階)依序為84×4/8、(84×3+128×1)/8、(84×2+128×1)/8、(84×1+128×3)/8、128(128×4/8)、64、64、64;64、64、 64、64、64、64、64、64;64、64、64、64、64、64、64、64;64、64、64、64、64、64、64、64。即,採用插黑技術之液晶顯示器中人眼實際看到之光學反應隨時間變化之曲線如圖2中曲線L4所示。其中,該採用插黑技術之液晶顯示器在該第一幀至第四幀中的殘影時間T2為人眼看到之光學反應發生變化之時段,大致為4個時段。Please refer to FIG. 2 , which is a graph showing the relationship between the gray scale of the liquid crystal display with black insertion technology and the optical response actually seen by the human eye as a function of time. For a liquid crystal display using black insertion technology, the gray level of the first four periods of each frame is the target gray level of the frame, and the gray level is 0 gray scale for the last four periods of each frame. The input gray scales of the first 32 frames of the first frame to the fourth frame are sequentially 84, 84, 84, 84, 0, 0, 0, 0; 128, 128, 128, 128, 0, 0, 0. 0, 128, 128, 128, 128, 0, 0, 0, 0; 128, 128, 128, 128, 0, 0, 0, 0. Therefore, the curve of the input gray scale of the liquid crystal display with black insertion technology will be as shown by the curve L3 in FIG. According to the calculation principle that the optical reaction actually seen by the human eye in a certain period of time is the average value of the input gray scales in the eight time periods after the start of the period, the human eye can obtain 32 in the first frame to the fourth frame. The optical reaction seen in the time period (ie, the gray scale actually seen) is 84×4/8, (84×3+128×1)/8, (84×2+128×1)/8, (84×1+128×3)/8, 128 (128×4/8), 64, 64, 64; 64, 64, 64, 64, 64, 64, 64, 64; 64, 64, 64, 64, 64, 64, 64, 64; 64, 64, 64, 64, 64, 64, 64, 64. That is, the curve of the optical response actually seen by the human eye in the liquid crystal display using the black insertion technique as a function of time is as shown by the curve L4 in FIG. The afterimage time T2 of the liquid crystal display using the black insertion technique in the first frame to the fourth frame is a period in which the optical reaction seen by the human eye changes, and is substantially four periods.

藉由對比圖1中傳統液晶顯示器之殘影時間T1與圖2中採用插黑技術之液晶顯示器之殘影時間T2可知,採用插黑技術之液晶顯示器之殘影時間大致為傳統液晶顯示器之殘影時間之一半,因此,採用插黑技術之液晶顯示器改善了傳統液晶顯示器之動態殘影現象。然,對比圖1及圖2亦可知,採用插黑技術的液晶顯示器由於在一幀時間中的後半幀時間顯示黑畫面,其相較於一幀時間均顯示正常畫面的傳統液晶顯示器,其亮度降低僅為傳統液晶顯示器之一半,進而導致採用插黑技術的液晶顯示器之總體亮度及對比度降低,顯示品質降低。By comparing the afterimage time T1 of the conventional liquid crystal display in FIG. 1 with the afterimage time T2 of the liquid crystal display using the black insertion technique in FIG. 2, the residual image time of the liquid crystal display using the black insertion technique is roughly the residual of the conventional liquid crystal display. One and a half times of the shadow time, therefore, the liquid crystal display with black insertion technology improves the dynamic image sticking phenomenon of the conventional liquid crystal display. However, as can be seen from comparing FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the liquid crystal display using the black insertion technique displays a black screen due to the latter half frame time in one frame time, and the brightness of the conventional liquid crystal display which displays a normal picture compared to one frame time. The reduction is only one-half of the conventional liquid crystal display, which results in a decrease in the overall brightness and contrast of the liquid crystal display using the black insertion technique, and the display quality is lowered.

有鑑於此,提供一種有效改善動態殘影且總體亮度及對比度較高之液晶顯示器實為必要。In view of this, it is necessary to provide a liquid crystal display that effectively improves dynamic image sticking and has high overall brightness and contrast.

同時,提供一種有效改善動態殘影且總體亮度及對比度較高之液晶顯示器之驅動方法亦為必要。At the same time, it is also necessary to provide a driving method for a liquid crystal display which effectively improves dynamic image sticking and has high overall brightness and contrast.

請一併參閱下表1,係該插值處理器40產生該第一子幀插值資料及第二子幀插值資料之原理圖。具體而言,若該液晶顯示器1(以其中一畫素單元15為例)之第n幀及第n+1幀之圖像資料之灰階分別為a、b,其中,a、b為自然數或0,當0≦2a-b≦255時,該插值處理器40自其查詢表讀取到之第一子幀插值資料及第二子幀插值資料之灰階分別為b、2a-b,以保證該第n幀之第一子幀及第二子幀插值資料之平均灰階(b+(2a-b))/2等於該n幀圖像資料之灰階a;當2a-b<0或2a-b>255時,該插值處理器40對該第n幀之圖像資料進行插灰處理,因此其自該查詢表40讀取到之第一子幀及第二子幀插值資料之灰階分別為a、x(x>0),以保證該第n幀之第一子幀及第二子幀插值資料之平均灰階(a+x)/2大於a/2。 Referring to Table 1 below, the interpolation processor 40 generates a schematic diagram of the first subframe interpolation data and the second subframe interpolation data. Specifically, if the liquid crystal display 1 (in the case of one of the pixel units 15 as an example), the grayscales of the image data of the nth frame and the n+1th frame are respectively a and b, wherein a and b are natural. The number or 0, when 0≦2a-b≦255, the gray scale of the first sub-frame interpolation data and the second sub-frame interpolation data read by the interpolation processor 40 from the look-up table are respectively b, 2a-b To ensure that the average gray level (b+(2a-b))/2 of the first sub-frame and the second sub-frame interpolation data of the nth frame is equal to the gray level a of the n-frame image data; when 2a-b< When 0 or 2a-b>255, the interpolation processor 40 performs gray insertion processing on the image data of the nth frame, so the first subframe and the second subframe interpolation data read from the lookup table 40 are read. The gray levels are a, x (x>0), respectively, to ensure that the average gray level (a+x)/2 of the first subframe and the second subframe interpolation data of the nth frame is greater than a/2.

The nth frame time is divided into an equal first subframe time t1 and a second subframe time t2.

下面根據該液晶顯示器1之工作原理,舉例說明本發明液晶顯示器1改善動態殘影現象且保持較高之總體亮度及對比度的原理。請一併參閱圖5,係該液晶顯示器之被輸入灰階隨時間變化之曲線與人眼實際看到之光學反應隨時間變化之曲線之示意圖。In the following, according to the working principle of the liquid crystal display 1, the principle that the liquid crystal display 1 of the present invention improves the dynamic image sticking phenomenon and maintains a high overall brightness and contrast is exemplified. Please refer to FIG. 5 together, which is a schematic diagram of the curve of the input gray scale of the liquid crystal display with time and the optical response actually seen by the human eye as a function of time.

假設該液晶顯示器1(仍以其中一畫素單元15為例)由一靜態畫面轉變為另一靜態畫面時(即進行動態顯示時),其第一幀至第四幀的目標灰階分別為84、128、128、128,則經由該插值處理器40輸出的第一幀至第四幀之第一、第二子幀插值資料之灰階分別為128、(84×2-128)、128、(128×2-128)、(128×2-128)、(128×2-128),即該畫素單元之第一幀至第四幀之被輸入灰階依序為128、40、128、128、128、128、128、128。Assuming that the liquid crystal display 1 (still taking one of the pixel units 15 as an example) transitions from one still picture to another (ie, when dynamic display is performed), the target gray levels of the first frame to the fourth frame are respectively 84, 128, 128, 128, the gray scales of the first and second sub-frame interpolation data of the first frame to the fourth frame outputted by the interpolation processor 40 are respectively 128, (84×2-128), 128 (128×2-128), (128×2-128), (128×2-128), that is, the input gray scales of the first to fourth frames of the pixel unit are sequentially 128, 40, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128.

我們同樣將每一幀等分為八個時段1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8,則該畫素單元之第1幀至第4幀的共32時段的被輸入灰階依序為128、128、128、128、40、40、40、40;128、128、128、128、128、128、128、128;128、128、128、128、128、128、128、128;128、128、128、128、128、128、128、128。因此,該液晶顯示器其被輸入灰階隨時間變化之曲線將如圖5中曲線L5所示。根據人眼在某一時段實際看到之光學反應係自該時段開始後的八個時段內被輸入灰階之平均值之計算原理可得,人眼在該第一幀1-8 時段中所看到的光學反應(即實際看到之灰階)依序為(128×4+40×4)/8、(128×4+40×4)/8、(128×4+40×4)/8、(128×4+40×4)/8、(40×3+128×5)/8、(40×2+128×6)/8、(40×1+128×7)/8、(128×8)/8;同樣根據上述計算原理,亦可得到人眼在該第二幀至第四幀的其他24時段中所看到的光學反應為128、128、128、128、128、128、128、128;128、128、128、128、128、128、128、128;128、128、128、128、128、128、128、128,即,該液晶顯示器中人眼實際看到之光學反應隨時間變化之曲線如圖5中曲線L6所示。其中,該液晶顯示器在該第一幀至第四幀中的殘影時間T3為人眼看到之光學反應發生變化之時段,大致為4個時段。同時,對比曲線L6與圖1中之曲線L1會發現,該曲線L6之平均灰階與圖1中之曲線L2之平均灰階相等且大於圖2中之曲線L4之平均灰階,即該液晶顯示器1之亮度與傳統液晶顯示器相等,且大於採用插黑技術之液晶顯示器之亮度。We also divide each frame into eight time periods 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, and the gray level of the total 32 periods of the first frame to the fourth frame of the pixel unit is input. Sequentially 128, 128, 128, 128, 40, 40, 40, 40; 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128; 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128 ; 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128. Therefore, the liquid crystal display whose input gray scale changes with time will be as shown by the curve L5 in FIG. According to the calculation principle that the optical reaction actually seen by the human eye in a certain period of time is input to the average value of the gray scales in the eight time periods after the start of the period, the human eye is in the first frame 1-8. The optical reaction seen in the time period (ie, the gray scale actually seen) is (128×4+40×4)/8, (128×4+40×4)/8, (128×4+40). ×4)/8, (128×4+40×4)/8, (40×3+128×5)/8, (40×2+128×6)/8, (40×1+128×7) /8, (128 × 8) / 8; also according to the above calculation principle, it can also be seen that the optical response seen by the human eye in the other 24 periods of the second frame to the fourth frame is 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128; 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128; 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, 128, that is, the human eye in the liquid crystal display The curve of the optical response actually seen over time is shown by curve L6 in FIG. The afterimage time T3 of the liquid crystal display in the first frame to the fourth frame is a period in which the optical reaction seen by the human eye changes, and is substantially four periods. Meanwhile, the comparison curve L6 and the curve L1 in FIG. 1 find that the average gray scale of the curve L6 is equal to the average gray scale of the curve L2 in FIG. 1 and larger than the average gray scale of the curve L4 in FIG. 2, that is, the liquid crystal The brightness of the display 1 is equal to that of a conventional liquid crystal display, and is greater than the brightness of a liquid crystal display using a black insertion technique.

The second sub-frame interpolates the data, and the average gray level (b+(2a-b))/2 of the first sub-frame and the second sub-frame interpolated data of the n-th frame is equal to the gray level a of the n-frame image data or Compared with the prior art, the liquid crystal display having an average gray scale of a/2 is black in comparison with the prior art, and the gray scale is higher, that is, the brightness and contrast of the liquid crystal display are higher. In addition, the liquid crystal display 1 of the present invention and the liquid crystal using the black insertion technique The residual time of the display is approximately equal. Therefore, the liquid crystal display and the driving method thereof of the present invention improve the brightness and contrast of the liquid crystal display while solving the problem of dynamic image sticking, and the display quality of the liquid crystal display 1 is high.
