Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a display device and an image adjustment method. [Prior Art] In general, the display surface of a liquid crystal display device as seen by the human eye is composed of a plurality of pixel units, and each pixel unit can be a red, green or blue pixel. unit. In addition, the liquid crystal display device has a corresponding plurality of liquid crystal molecules, and the liquid crystal molecules are rotated or tilted according to different driving voltages, so that the transmittance of light through the respective pixel units is different, thereby generating Different gray levels. When the user views the liquid crystal display device from different viewing angles, the color shift problem is perceived. When the user observes the pixel unit from different perspectives of the front view and the side view, the brightness of the side view is different from that of the front view. Brightness, this phenomenon is more noticeable when the liquid crystal display device displays the intermediate gray scale. Multi-zone vertical alignment (M VA ) is one of the methods used to improve this problem. One of the methods used is to make each pixel unit appear in both bright and dark areas, that is, to use a dark area that displays low gray levels. In conjunction with a bright area displaying a high gray level, the effect of displaying an intermediate gray level on the pixel unit as a whole is achieved. Because the color deviation is in the pixel single. The element is not obvious when the non-intermediate gray scale is displayed, and the color shift phenomenon generated by the bright and dark areas of the high and low gray scales in the pixel unit is better than the direct display of a tr gray scale. Comes slightly.

Fig. 3 is a view showing a front view gamma curve C11 and a side view gamma curve C12 obtained according to the above aspect. The side view gamma curve C12 is a curve of the original image gray scale composed of the bright area gray scale and the dark area gray scale. However, depending on the application, the side view effects are not the same. In some cases, side view and face view are required to have the same effect, and in some cases, the side view effect may have to be reduced. Therefore, it is one of the current important topics to provide a display device and an image adjustment method capable of adjusting the side gamma curve to a certain extent under the premise that the front view gamma curve is constant. <Explanation of the Invention> In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a display device and an image adjustment method capable of adjusting a side view gamma curve without changing the front view gamma curve.

In this embodiment, the display device 2 can be a vertical alignment type liquid crystal display device or a multi-region vertical alignment type liquid crystal device. The display mode switching module 3 is electrically connected to the pixel unit 21, and the display mode switching module 3 has a first storage unit 31 and a second storage unit 32, wherein the first storage unit 31 stores the pixel unit 21 In the first display mode parameter, the second storage unit 32 stores the parameters of the second display mode of the pixel unit 21. When the display mode switching module 3 receives a control signal C!, the display mode switching module 3 reads the parameters of the first storage unit 31 or the second storage unit 32 according to the control signal q to output a switching signal C2 switch. The pixel unit 21 is a first display mode or a second display mode. When the user wants to adjust the low gray level area displayed on the display screen of the display device 2, the display mode switching module 3 can switch the pixel unit 21 to the second display mode. When the user wants to adjust the high-gray area displayed on the display screen of the display device 2, the display unit switching mode can be switched to the first display mode by the display mode switching module ® 3. Referring to Figure 10, the image adjustment method of the preferred embodiment of the present invention can be applied to the display device 2 shown in Figure 9. The image of the embodiment. The adjustment method includes steps W11 to W14. Step W11 shows the gray scale number distribution map of the image data of the display device 2. Step W12 is to select a first grayscale region. Step W13 is for the switching pixel unit 21 to operate on the first side gamma curve packet C22 or the second side gamma curve packet C23. Step W14 is performed on the first 12 201015530 side view gamma curve seal IC 22 or on the second side view gamma adjustment - first gamma curve pair: see: horse curve packet C2" line to generate - second gamma curve; The curve in the range of the U-zone is unchanged: the premise angle: the range of the gamma-curve adjustment of the device 2 is displayed. By this, the ship line of _ dry-packing has a large demand and will be adjusted according to the actual image. Quality, wherein the poor image quality can be: the actual operation of the lesser t is a poor shading method. The embodiment shows that the display of the first embodiment of the image adjuster of the embodiment is sneaked ❹ The slope of the curve of the gamma curve is used to reduce the appearance of the contrast; and thus reduce the probability that the image data on the face is sneaked. Please refer to FIG. n, which is a display device 2= as shown in the figure: the ash number distribution of the bedding material. In this implementation, the selected image: the area where the white number of the ash I1 of the bedding material is concentrated is the first gray level area A. According to the above, since the first gray-scale area A is located in the middle-low gray scale range, the U-single 7L 21 is switched to the second display mode, and the pixel unit 21 can be adjusted in the second-side view-code curve packet (3). Its side view gamma curve. Referring again to FIG. 12A, the display device 2 of the present embodiment is displayed according to the -th-side view gamma curve C31, and the first side view gamma curve C31 is located at the first side view gamma curve upper limit C23a and the second. Side view gamma curve lower limit between C23b. 13 201015530 Taking the image quality as an example, as shown in FIG. 12B, in the first gray-scale area A, the slope of the curve of the first side view gamma curve C31 is adjusted, and a second side view gamma curve C32 is generated. The slope of the curve of the second side view gamma curve C32 in the first gray level area A is smaller than the slope of the curve of the first side view gamma curve C31 in the first gray level area A, and the most ideal state is The slope of the curve of the second side view gamma curve C32 approaches zero. Thereby, the contrast of the display device 2 at the side viewing angle can be reduced, and the image quality can be reduced to reduce the probability of the image material being sneaked. At the same time, those skilled in the art can add an interference font or warning slogan to the display of the display device 2 to interfere or alert the person who wants to peek. In the second embodiment, in order to prevent the display surface of the display device from being peeked, in addition to the manner of the above embodiment, the second embodiment may also divide the display surface into a plurality of areas, and adjust the side of each area as time changes. Depending on the gamma curve, the effect of forming a mosaic on the face is formed. In the second embodiment, the first side view gamma curve C31 system ❹ may be a relationship between the gray scale value and the transmittance of the display screen of the display device 2, or may be a partial gray of the display screen. The relationship between the order value and the penetration rate. Referring to FIG. 13A, spatially, the display pupil surface can be divided into a plurality of regions, wherein the regions of the regions can overlap each other. In the present embodiment, the display pupil is divided into 16 regions as an example, wherein each region has at least one pixel unit and is displayed according to a corresponding side gamma curve. For example, the area B is displayed in accordance with the first side view gamma curve C31 14 201015530. In other words, each region is displayed according to a side view gamma curve, and the side view gamma curves can be the same or different. However, in the present embodiment, it is not limited to display each region at a time according to a fixed side gamma curve. As shown in Fig. 13A, at a first time, the area B is displayed in accordance with the first side view gamma curve C31. At a second time, the corresponding side gamma curve of each region can be as shown in Fig. 13B, wherein the region B is displayed according to the second side gamma curve C32. It is to be noted that the numbers in the respective regions 图 in Figs. 13A and 13B represent the numbers of different side view gamma curves. In the above, the display screen is divided into a plurality of areas for control, and the first display area and the second display area of each unit are controlled. Hereinafter, the control method of the first display area and the second display area of any of the pixel units will be described. In a first time, the first display area is displayed according to a first side view gamma curve C31, and the second display area is displayed according to a second side view gamma curve C32. In a second time, the first display area is displayed according to a third side view gamma curve, and the second display area is displayed according to the fourth side view gamma curve. In this embodiment, the first side view gamma curve may be the same as the fourth side view gamma curve, and the second side view gamma curve may be the same as the third side view gamma curve. _ Of course, it is also possible to mix and control the concepts controlled by the regions and the concepts controlled by the display zones to achieve more control combinations. The third embodiment is in a gray-scale region, when the slope of the curve of the side-view gamma curve can be adjusted. When the range of 2010 20103030 is limited, the gray-scale region can be matched by a mapping technique and a dynamic backlight driving technique. Convert to another grayscale area to increase the adjustable range of the side view gamma curve. Referring to FIG. 14, which is a gray scale number distribution map of another image data of the display device 2, the number of gray scales is concentrated in the second gray scale region C. Referring to FIG. 15, FIG. 16A and FIG. 6A simultaneously, the first side view gamma curve C 31 has a small interval between the upper and lower limits of the side view gamma curve of the second gray scale region C. Therefore, the pixel unit is When the second gray-scale area c area is displayed, the adjustable side-view brightness range is also small. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the first side view gamma curve C3l of the second gray level region c is mapped to one of the third side view gamma curves c33 of the first gray level area A. At this time, the third side view gamma curve C33 is larger in the interval between the upper and lower limits of the first gray level area A, so that the adjustable side view brightness range is also larger. If ^16B' is in the first gray-scale region a, the third side-view gamma curve cm can be adjusted to approach the zero value under the same frontal gamma C21*. Thereby, the contrast of the display device in the side viewing angle can be reduced, and the image quality can be reduced to reduce the probability of the image material being sneaked. At the same time, the backlight brightness of one of the display devices is adjusted according to the ratio of the second gray scale region C to the first gray scale region a. When the step 5 of the second gray-scale region C is larger than the gray-scale value of the first-gray-order region A, the i-light of the display device is lowered: the brightness of the image display is not affected by the change of the gray scale, and the second is affected. The grayscale value of the grayscale region C is smaller than the grayscale value of the first grayscale region I, thereby improving the backlight brightness of the display device. The display device and the image adjustment method according to the present invention, 16 201015530, wherein the first display area of the pixel unit has a first reverse direction which is perpendicular to the extending direction of the data line, and the second display area has a scan The direction in which the line extends is approximately perpendicular to the second reverse direction, such that the pixel unit has two display areas with side gamma curve characteristics. The display device of the present invention can adjust the complex side view 'gamma curve' to adjust the display image of the side view effect of the display device under the premise that the front view gamma curve is constant. Because of this, in addition to reducing the contrast, in order to prevent the display surface of the display device from being peeked, the contrast can be improved to increase the viewing angle of the display device. The above is intended to be illustrative only and not limiting. Any equivalent modifications or alterations to the spirit and scope of the present invention are intended to be included in the scope of the appended claims.
