Background technology
Along with the maturation of liquid crystal flat-panel display technique with popularize, people are more and more higher to the requirement of liquid crystal display quality.How to make the visual effect of human eye reach best, become the technical research field that more and more liquid crystal panel producers make earnest efforts.
At first, learn about the visual characteristic of human eye.Fig. 1 is that human eye is to the change curve synoptic diagram of light.As shown in Figure 1, horizontal ordinate is incident ray brightness, and ordinate is human-eye visual characteristic.As can be seen from Figure 1, when some brightness was being arranged, it is enough bright that human eye is just felt from complete black in incident ray brightness; Then, continue to strengthen along with incident ray brightness, arrived very strong the time, it is very blunt that the reaction of human eye but becomes, and incident ray brightness is further strengthened again, and human eye can not feel bright much yet.This response curve that human eye changes light can be called gamma (Gamma) curve of human eye.Strictly, the Gamma curve of human eye is not single exponential depth relation, but is become by a plurality of power value arrays under the different brightness, can express with formula (1):
Y=X^a (1)
Wherein, Y represents people's ophthalmic reaction, and X represents ambient brightness, and a represents exponential depth.
Here, the value of a satisfies following relation:
Just because of human eye visual characteristic so, display device just need to be regulated the brightness of display color in procedure for displaying, thereby can make human eye see best display effect.Expect the brightness of color and the linear response relationship of human eye, just need display device to adopt the brightness of Gamma curve adjustment color shown in Figure 2.Because the power exponent a of the Gamma curve of human eye is a value that constantly changes, so the power exponent b of the Gamma curve that display device adopts also should be the value that constantly changes, can adopt formula (2) to express:
Z=W^b (2)
Wherein, Z represents transmitance, i.e. the brightness of color, and W represents GTG, b represents exponential depth.
Here, the value of b satisfies following relation:
Because the visual characteristic of human eye and the brightness of surrounding environment have nonlinear relation.Therefore, at present, mostly comparatively traditional solution of improving the liquid crystal display quality is to carry out Gamma and proofreaies and correct in driving (Driver) integrated circuit (IC, Integrated Circuit).Particularly, at one group of resistance of the upper welding of printed circuit board (PCB) (PCB, Printed Circuit Board), regulate Gamma voltage, thereby can carry out brightness regulation to the display color by vision signal institute output image among the Driver IC.Although this method can satisfy the vision requirement of human eye to a certain extent, the method can only provide the Gamma curve under a kind of single brightness.That is: no matter whether the brightness of surrounding environment changes, liquid crystal display can only adopt fixing Gamma curve to carry out brightness regulation, so, when the brightness of surrounding environment changes, just human eye requirement to the Gamma curve under different brightness can't be satisfied, thereby the visual effect of human eye can be had influence on.
In addition, also having a solution is the mode that adopts Gamma correction buffer circuit able to programme (Pgamma) chip.The Pgamma chip is the new technology that generates along with the development of memory technology.Be with the difference of traditional solution: adopt the mode of PGamma chip to utilize the on off state of Gamma resistance in several groups of Gamma Data Control of the memory stores chip, regulate the size of Gamma resistance, thereby regulate the size of Gamma voltage, and then reach the purpose of brightness adjusting.Although this method can be utilized several groups of Gamma data of chip internal storage, the size of regulating Gamma voltage, thereby the adjusting of realization brightness,, the method still can not according to the brightness of actual surrounding environment, be carried out the adjusting of brightness.In other words, when the brightness of surrounding environment changed, the method still can't satisfy human eye requirement to the Gamma curve under different brightness, still can have influence on the visual effect of human eye.
