- the display device 100 can output the visible light communication signal without further dropping for each of the selected plurality of groups.
- FIG. 15 is a timing chart showing another example of area group division according to the third embodiment.
- a shaded portion indicates a period (encoded signal period) in which the encoded signal is superimposed.
- FIG. 15 is a special example of FIG. 13 and FIG.
- the example shown in FIG. 15 is a special example of FIG. 13 and FIG.
- the encoded signal is not transmitted in a place where encoded signals having the same phase do not enter.
- region A, the region B, the region C, and the region D are divided into other regions and the encoded signals having the same phase are superimposed on the regions A, B, C, and D.
- region D the encoded signal is not superimposed in a period in which the encoded signal overlaps the blanking period. Further, in the example shown in FIG. 15, the encoded signal is not superimposed on the area after area D (area E to area H).
- a reference region is simply determined and the encoded signal is superimposed only on the periphery of the region (neighboring region) It may be allowed.
- the range in which the encoded signal is superimposed may be based on the above-described flowchart or may be limited to a predetermined range.
- the above-described adjustment period may be provided so that a luminance difference does not occur in a region where the encoded signal is superimposed, a region where the encoded signal is not superimposed, and a region where the encoded signal is superimposed.
- B.I Although the rise of the L control signal is superimposed as a reference, other B.
- the characteristic timing of the L control signal may be used as a reference, or the synchronization signal of the video signal itself may be used as a reference. Alternatively, a signal delayed for a certain time from the video synchronization signal may be created and used as a reference.
- the encoded signal is represented by B.I. Even when superposed on the L control signal, priority is given to the blanking period as much as possible, so that lighting during the blanking period is suppressed to avoid degradation of image quality.
- a method for avoiding overlapping of the blanking period and the encoded signal period in as many areas as possible among the plurality of display areas is disclosed. That is, in the present embodiment, a plurality of regions are divided into several groups, and the encoded signal is superimposed at a constant phase within each group. Thereby, the overlap of the blanking period and the encoded signal in the corresponding group can be reduced.
- the regions may be divided into some groups in advance, and how the phase is shifted may be set in advance.
- a plurality of areas are grouped so that the encoded signal length (all of the encoded signal periods) can be superimposed on the basis of the bright area, but the present invention is not limited to this. Since there may be a case where the number of groups divided according to this criterion is very large, the number of groups may be limited. The area divided into groups does not necessarily need to be able to overlap the entire encoded signal period.
- the encoded signals superimposed on the areas in each group may be the same or different. If two or more signals are mixed in the encoded signal obtained on the receiver side, the probability of erroneous recognition or error occurrence increases. Therefore, if two or more signals can be received by the same receiver at the same time, different encoded signals can be received by the same receiver at the same time. It means a case where it can be done or a combination thereof. As a result, the probability of erroneous recognition or error occurrence can be reduced.
- the group to be divided with some reference is not limited to the above example, and the second processing unit 170 may divide into groups based on the signal processing result performed by the relationship between the video signal and the encoded signal. .
- the light source is a very small object that is close to a point light source. Therefore, in order to emit surface light like an LCD, a light guide plate, a diffusion plate, or the like is used. It is spreading. Therefore, when controlling the LEDs in each region, the adjacent regions are designed to overlap, and there is more than a certain amount of leakage light.
- the encoded signal may not be transmitted in the corresponding frame at the corresponding location, or the temporally continuous or overlapping encoded signals may be transmitted in a remote area.
- the encoded signal When the encoded signal is not transmitted in the corresponding frame at the corresponding location, it may be determined and separated from which area the encoded signal is output for each frame, or a specific location (linked to the video signal). May be preferentially transmitted.
- the regions are not continuous or have a fixed interval. This is because the signal can be received when the signal is received by limiting the area. Note that the interval between regions having different phases needs to be determined based on the extent to which the leaked light from the backlight extends, and is a numerical value based on the performance of the display device used.
- the above method may be applied to each area divided into a plurality of blocks.
- the exposure timing is turned on due to a slight phase difference. It may not be acquired as an effective signal because it takes a very short time difference or simultaneously with the start or / and end timing of a series of encoded signal periods or an OFF edge portion.
- the imaging cycle of the image sensor is generally 30 FPS. For example, when the video signal of 60 FPS and the encoded signal are synchronized, if the timing does not match at the time of imaging by the image sensor, it will last forever. It is also conceivable that the timing of the imaging cycle of the image sensor does not match the timing of the encoded signal.

This is effective in increasing the probability of imaging of the smartphone 200.

- the second processing unit 170 provides the B.B.
- the L control signal is output to the second control unit 180.
- phase relationship between the encoded signal and the video signal when the phase relationship between the encoded signal and the video signal returns to the original state in a certain period, these may be corrected to a predetermined phase difference.
- phase alignment if the phase of the encoded signal and the phase of the video signal change with time at a frequency different from the frequency of the video signal, that is, if either one is not a substantially integer multiple of the other, There is no need to control the phase alignment. This is because, even if the phases of both are not matched, the relationship between the phases of both of them will return to its original state after a certain period of time, and there are always times when it is difficult to receive signals and when they can be easily received. Because it will exist.
- FIG. 17A and FIG. It is a figure for demonstrating the relationship of the phase of L control signal and a visible light communication signal.

- the relationship between the video and the communication information may be stored in a buffer or the like, and the previous memory may be extracted and encoded as a communication signal for use. Further, when it takes a very long time for the phase relationship between the two to return to the original state, for example, several seconds or more, the phase relationship may be forcibly returned to the original state. For example, after the encoded signal is completed at f8 in FIG. The phases of the L control signal and the encoded signal may or may not be matched again. In addition, a cycle for adjusting the timing may be performed every second, for example, or may not be performed at all.

実施の形態1では、B.L制御信号のON期間より、符号化信号期間の方が短い場合の表示装置100の動作について説明した。本実施の形態では、B.L制御信号のON期間より、符号化信号期間の方が長い場合の表示装置100の動作について説明する。
以下、第2の処理部170の動作を中心に説明する。
次に、図10A~図10Dおよび図11を用いて、実施の形態2の表示装置100の動作の詳細(具体例)について説明する。
図10A~図10Dは、実施の形態2におけるB.L制御信号に、符号化信号を重畳する具体的方法を説明するための図である。
次に、図10Dとは別の態様について説明する。すなわち、B.L制御信号のON期間より、符号化信号期間の方が長い場合に、符号化信号のヘッダー部分のみをB.L制御信号のブランキング期間に重畳する場合の具体例について説明する。
以上、本実施の形態によれば、表示画像の画質を大きく劣化させることなく可視光通信信号を出力すること、かつ、出力した可視光通信信号の受信ミスを低減することができる表示装置を実現することができる。
本実施の形態では、B.L制御信号のON期間に符号化信号期間すべての符号化信号を重畳できるように、表示領域の複数の領域を幾つかのグループに分割した上で符号化信号を重畳する方法について説明する。
以下では、領域の明るさを基にして、最も明るい領域を中心に、符号化信号を重畳するタイミングを決定する方法を例に挙げて説明する。
次に、図13および図14を用いて、本実施の形態3の表示装置100の詳細(具体例)について説明する。
このように、本実施の形態の表示装置によれば、前記信号処理部(第2の処理部170)は、前記複数の領域のうち近傍の複数の領域を含む複数のグループそれぞれの前記バックライト制御信号に対して、前記可視光通信信号をそれぞれ重畳し、前記複数のグループそれぞれに重畳される前記可視光通信信号は互いに同位相であり、前記複数のグループそれぞれの前記バックライト制御信号の前記バックライト(190)の発光の制御を行う期間に、対応する前記可視光通信信号のすべてが重畳されている。
符号化信号を受信する際に、フォトダイオードなどの応答速度の非常に速い光強度センサーを用いた場合には、画像と符号化信号の位相差は大きな問題にはならない。
以下、第2の処理部170の動作を中心に説明する。
次に、図18Aおよび図18B、図18Cを用いて、実施の形態3の表示装置100の動作の詳細(具体例)について説明する。
以上のように、本実施の形態の表示装置において、前記信号処理部は、前記複数の領域それぞれのバックライト制御信号に対して、前記複数の領域のいずれか一つのバックライト制御信号を基準に、可視光通信信号を符号化する遅延時間を時間的に変化させる、前記信号処理部(第2の処理部170)は、前記複数の領域それぞれの前記バックライト制御信号に対して、前記複数の領域のいずれか一つの前記バックライト制御信号を基準に、前記可視光通信信号(符号化信号)を符号化する遅延時間を時間的に変化させる。
実施の形態1~4では、通常速度で駆動する走査速度にて各領域を順次制御して画像信号を表示する場合について説明したが、通常速度よりも速い倍速駆動の走査速度にて各領域を順次制御して画像信号を表示するとしてもよい。
以下、第2の処理部170の動作を中心に説明する。
以上のように、本実施の形態の表示装置において、前記表示制御部(第1の制御部140)は、前記映像信号に示される走査速度よりも高速化した高速走査速度に従って、前記表示パネルの表示面に映像を表示するよう前記表示パネル(150)を制御する。
実施の形態1~5では、複数の領域それぞれにおいて異なるタイミングで消灯の制御を行う期間を設ける制御方法がバックライトスキャンであるとして説明したがそれに限らない。ローカルディミングであってもよい。
次に、ローカルディミングにより制御されたB.L制御信号について説明する。
以下、第2の処理部170の動作を中心に説明する。なお、本実施の形態では表示領域の各領域の1フレームあたりのOFF期間を揃えた場合の信号制御を示す。
図21は、実施の形態6における第2の処理部の動作の一例を説明するためのフローチャートである。
ローカルディミング時においても、通常のバックライトスキャン制御時と同様に順次ブランキング期間を持つことを優先してもよい。この場合の処理について以下説明する。
図25は、実施の形態6における第2の処理部の動作の一例を説明するためタイミングチャートである。
以上のように、本実施の形態の表示装置において、前記バックライト制御部(第2の制御部180)は、前記信号処理部(第2の処理部170)により出力されたバックライト制御信号に従って、前記複数の領域それぞれにおいて各々の映像信号に基づく前記バックライトの発光量に従って発光の制御を行い、前記複数の領域それぞれにおいて異なるタイミングで消灯の制御を行う期間を設け、前記複数の領域それぞれにおいて前記映像信号および前記可視光通信信号に基づく前記バックライトのデューティも変化させる。
