Description

降低雙重影像效果的顯示方法及其顯示系統 Display method and system for reducing dual image effect

本發明描述一種降低雙重影像效果的顯示方法及其顯示系統,尤指一種最大化垂直同步週期之長度,以降低雙重影像效果的顯示方法及其顯示系統。 The present invention describes a display method and display system for reducing dual image effects, in particular to a display method and display system for maximizing the length of a vertical synchronization period to reduce double image effects.

液晶顯示裝置(Liquid Crystal Display,LCD)及有機發光二極體(Organic light emitting diode,OLED)顯示裝置因具有外型輕薄、省電以及無輻射等優點,目前已被普遍地應用於多媒體播放器、行動電話、個人數位助理、電腦顯示器、或平面電視等電子產品上。 Liquid crystal display (LCD) and organic light emitting diode (OLED) display devices have been widely used in multimedia players due to their advantages of light and thin appearance, power saving and no radiation. , Mobile phones, personal digital assistants, computer monitors, or flat-screen TVs and other electronic products.

傳統的顯示器在顯示影像時,會利用脈寬調變訊號驅動背光源。並持續地開啟或關閉背光,因此使用者在觀賞畫面時容易感覺到畫面閃爍而降低視覺品質。特別在頻率需求較高或顯示較為高速動態的影像時,容易發生動態模糊(Motion Blur)而降低畫面品質。並且,由於背光源開啟的時間與畫面影像的更新時間重疊,故使用者可能會看見畫面影像更新的暫態現象。因此,對於使用者而言,背光源恆開啟的顯示器容易發生雙重影像。並且,即便在高速的畫面閃爍下使用者未察覺畫面有閃爍現象,在觀賞一段時間後仍將造成使用者眼睛疲勞甚至在視覺上受到傷害。為了降低畫面影像在更新時的觀看時間,改良 的液晶顯示裝置會使用脈衝式背光(Pulse Type Backlight)的原理,將背光源開啟的時間盡量避開畫面影像的更新時間。理論上,若背光源僅在顯示器的液晶於穩態時才開啟,即可避免動態模糊的效果。 Conventional monitors use pulse width modulation signals to drive the backlight when displaying images. And continuously turn on or turn off the backlight, so users can easily feel the screen flicker when viewing the screen and reduce the visual quality. Especially when the frequency demand is high or when displaying high-speed dynamic images, Motion Blur is prone to occur and the picture quality is reduced. Moreover, since the time when the backlight is turned on overlaps with the update time of the screen image, the user may see a transient phenomenon in the update of the screen image. Therefore, for the user, the display with the backlight constantly turned on is prone to double images. Moreover, even if the user does not notice the flickering phenomenon under the high-speed screen flickering, it will still cause the user's eyes to fatigue or even be visually injured after watching for a period of time. In order to reduce the viewing time when the screen image is updated, improve The LCD device uses the principle of pulse type backlight (Pulse Type Backlight), the backlight is turned on for as long as possible to avoid the screen image update time. In theory, if the backlight is turned on only when the liquid crystal of the display is in a steady state, the effect of dynamic blur can be avoided.

然而,為了使顯示器的平均背光亮度能維持還具有消除動態模糊的功能,驅動背光源的脈波調變(Pulse Width Modulation,PWM)訊號的占空比(Duty Cycle)就必須要最佳化(例如16%)。然而,最佳化的脈波調變訊號卻未必能被顯示器支援。例如,當顯示器的垂直同步訊號僅支援較小的空白區間之占空比(例如4%)時,背光源開啟的最佳化區間勢必會與垂直同步訊號中之垂直畫素主動同步區間部分重疊。因此,人眼所見之顯示器所顯示的畫面中,仍有部分區域會出現動態模糊所造成的雙重影像,其將導致視覺品質降低。 However, in order to maintain the average backlight brightness of the display and also have the function of eliminating motion blur, the duty cycle of the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal driving the backlight must be optimized ( For example 16%). However, the optimized pulse modulation signal may not be supported by the display. For example, when the vertical sync signal of the display only supports a smaller blank space duty cycle (for example, 4%), the optimized interval for turning on the backlight will inevitably overlap with the vertical pixel active sync interval in the vertical sync signal. . Therefore, in the screen displayed by the human eye, there are still some areas where the double image caused by the motion blur will appear, which will lead to a decrease in visual quality.

The display system 100 includes a display panel 10, a gate driving circuit 11, a data driving circuit 12, a timing controller 13, a backlight device 14, and a processor 15. The display panel 10 may be any kind of display panel, such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) display panel or an organic light emitting diode (OLED) display device. The display panel 10 includes a plurality of pixels P for displaying images. A plurality of pixels P can be arranged in a pixel array to display a rectangular image. The gate driving circuit 11 is coupled to the pixels P, and the gate voltage can be used to control the control terminals of the pixels P row by row, thereby controlling the on or off state of the pixels P. The data driving circuit 12 is coupled to the pixels P, and can transmit the data voltage to the pixels P row by row, so that the pixels P display different colors and grayscale values. The timing controller 13 is coupled to the gate driving circuit 11 and the data driving circuit 12 and is used to control the gate driving circuit 11 and the data driving circuit 12. The timing controller 13 may be a logic board (T-CON), which may be regarded as a core circuit that controls the timing operation of the display panel 10, and is used to control the driving timing of the gate driving circuit 11 and the data driving circuit 12 to scan the pixels P. The timing controller 13 can also convert the input video signal (for example, low voltage differential signal, LVDS) into the data signal form used by the data driving circuit (for example, low swing differential signal, RSDS). The backlight device 14 is used to provide a backlight light source. The backlight device 14 may be a device composed of any controllable luminous body, for example, the backlight device 14 may be a light-emitting diode array (Light-Emitting Diode Array), an incandescent light bulb, an electroluminescent panel (ELP) or a cold cathode Fluorescent lamp (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp, CCFL) and other devices. The processor 15 is coupled to the timing controller 13 and the backlight device 14 for controlling the timing controller 13 and the backlight device 14. The processor 15 may be any form of logical operation element. For example, the processor 15 may be a processing chip (Scaler) in the display system 100, or may be a microprocessor having logic processing capabilities. Multiple sets of timing control parameters (Timing Parameters) may also be stored in the processor 15. The communication method between the processor 15 and the timing controller 13 can be signal transmission via an integrated circuit bus (I 2 C). Moreover, the processor 15 can receive the image data signal generated by the signal source 16. The video data signal generated by the signal source 16 may be a video data stream generated by a display card of an external computer, or a video data stream generated by a video player (such as a DVD Player). Any reasonable hardware changes are within the scope disclosed by the present invention.

在顯示系統100中,在處理器15接收影像資料訊號後,可產生面板資料時脈(Panel Data Clock)訊號,並將面板資料時脈訊號的第一傳輸速率變更為第二傳輸速率。接著,處理器15可依據至少面板資料時脈訊號的第二傳輸速率,將垂直同步訊號的第一垂直同步週期變更為第二垂直同步週期。並且,第二垂直同步週期包含垂直畫素主動同步區間以及空白區間。時序控制器13可控制閘極驅動電路11以及資料驅動電路12,在垂直畫素主動同步區間驅動該些畫素而產生影像。為了避免雙重影像的發生,處理器15僅在空白區間內之任一長度的時間區間內,開啟背光裝置14。第二傳輸速率大於第一傳輸速率,且第二垂直同步週期大於第一垂直同步週期。後文將描述顯示系統100執行降低雙重影像效果的顯示方法以及其細節。 In the display system 100, after the processor 15 receives the image data signal, it can generate a panel data clock (Panel Data Clock) signal, and change the first transmission rate of the panel data clock signal to the second transmission rate. Then, the processor 15 can change the first vertical synchronization period of the vertical synchronization signal to the second vertical synchronization period according to at least the second transmission rate of the data clock signal of the panel. Moreover, the second vertical synchronization period includes a vertical pixel active synchronization interval and a blank interval. The timing controller 13 can control the gate driving circuit 11 and the data driving circuit 12 to drive the pixels in a vertical pixel active synchronization interval to generate images. In order to avoid the occurrence of double images, the processor 15 only turns on the backlight device 14 within a time interval of any length within the blank interval. The second transmission rate is greater than the first transmission rate, and the second vertical synchronization period is greater than the first vertical synchronization period. The display method performed by the display system 100 to reduce the dual image effect and the details thereof will be described later.

第2圖係為顯示系統100中,垂直同步訊號Vsync以及背光驅動訊號BL於初始設定下之波形圖。在第2圖中,為了描述更為具體化,顯示面板10的垂直畫素數量可設定為1080個。垂直同步訊號Vsync可為週期性訊號。在第2圖中,垂直同步訊號Vsync的週期為1130個畫素掃描的時間。因此,在第2圖中,第一垂直同步週期VTOTAL可定義為1130個畫素掃描的時間,以1130p表示。並且,第一垂直同步週期VTOTAL包含第一垂直畫素主動同步區間(或簡稱為Active區間)ACT,以及第一空白區間(或稱為Blank Time Interval)BLK。第一垂直畫素主動同步區間ACT必須要對應顯示面板10的垂直畫素數量。因此第一垂直畫素主動同步區間ACT的長度等於1080個畫素掃描的時間,以1080p表示。並且,第一空白區間BLK的長度等於第一垂直同步週期VTOTAL,減去第一垂直畫素主動同步區間ACT的長度。因此,第一空白區間BLK的長度等於1130-1080個畫素掃描的時間,以50p表示。應當理解的是,由於顯示面板10的垂直畫素數量為1080個,因此第一垂直同步週期VTOTAL(1130個畫素掃描的時間)包含掃描1080個實體畫素 的時間(第一垂直畫素主動同步區間ACT),以及掃描50個虛擬畫素的時間(第一空白區間BLK)。換句話說,顯示面板10之複數個畫素P,在第一垂直畫素主動同步區間ACT內會操作於暫態(更新狀態)。而在第一空白區間BLK內會操作於穩態。畫素為暫態的定義為,畫素內的液晶分子正在旋轉而不穩定。畫素為穩態的定義為,畫素內的液晶分子已經旋轉完成而呈現穩定狀態。為了避免因動態模糊(Motion Blur)而造成的雙重影像,背光驅動訊號BL可將背光裝置14僅在第一空白區間BLK中之一段時間區間內開啟。例如,背光驅動訊號BL可在第一背光開啟區間BLE將背光裝置14開啟。第一背光開啟區間BLE在第一空白區間BLK內。並且,背光驅動訊號BL可在第一背光關閉區間BLD內將背光裝置14關閉。因此,對於觀看者而言,第一人眼可視區F0所看到的顯示畫面操作於穩態,理論上不會發生雙重影像。 FIG. 2 is a waveform diagram of the vertical synchronization signal Vsync and the backlight driving signal BL in the initial setting in the display system 100. In FIG. 2, for more specific description, the number of vertical pixels of the display panel 10 can be set to 1080. The vertical synchronization signal Vsync may be a periodic signal. In Figure 2, the period of the vertical sync signal Vsync is 1130 pixel scan time. Therefore, in FIG. 2, the first vertical synchronization period V TOTAL can be defined as the time of 1130 pixel scans, represented by 1130p. Moreover, the first vertical synchronization period V TOTAL includes a first vertical pixel active synchronization interval (or simply referred to as Active interval) ACT, and a first blank interval (or referred to as Blank Time Interval) BLK. The first vertical pixel active synchronization interval ACT must correspond to the number of vertical pixels of the display panel 10. Therefore, the length of the first vertical pixel active synchronization interval ACT is equal to the time of 1080 pixel scans, expressed as 1080p. Moreover, the length of the first blank interval BLK is equal to the first vertical synchronization period V TOTAL minus the length of the first vertical pixel active synchronization interval ACT. Therefore, the length of the first blank interval BLK is equal to the scanning time of 1130-1080 pixels, which is represented by 50p. It should be understood that since the number of vertical pixels of the display panel 10 is 1080, the first vertical synchronization period V TOTAL (1130 pixel scan time) includes the time to scan 1080 physical pixels (first vertical pixel Active synchronization interval (ACT), and the time to scan 50 virtual pixels (the first blank interval BLK). In other words, the plurality of pixels P of the display panel 10 will operate in a transient state (update state) within the first vertical pixel active synchronization interval ACT. In the first blank interval BLK, it will operate in a steady state. The pixel is transiently defined as the liquid crystal molecules in the pixel are rotating and unstable. The definition of a pixel in a stable state means that the liquid crystal molecules in the pixel have been rotated to a stable state. In order to avoid double images caused by Motion Blur, the backlight driving signal BL can turn on the backlight device 14 only during a period of time in the first blank interval BLK. For example, the backlight driving signal BL may turn on the backlight device 14 in the first backlight turning-on interval BLE. The first backlight-on interval BLE is within the first blank interval BLK. Moreover, the backlight driving signal BL can turn off the backlight device 14 in the first backlight off interval BLD. Therefore, for the viewer, the display screen seen by the visible area F0 of the first human eye operates in a steady state, and in theory, double images will not occur.

然而不幸的是,在第2圖中,由於第一空白區間BLK的長度等於50個畫素掃描的時間。這意味著顯示系統100在初始設定時,垂直同步訊號Vsync僅支援較小的第一空白區間BLK之占空比(Duty Cycle),為50/1130=4.4%。換句話說,除非背光驅動訊號BL的占空比小於4.4%,否則顯示系統100將無法提供雙重影像消除的功能。並且,即便背光驅動訊號BL的占空比小於4.4%,由於背光驅動訊號BL為脈波調變(Pulse Width Modulation,PWM)訊號,過小的占空比會導致脈波調變訊號的能量降低,因此也會發生畫面亮度不足的問題。有鑑於此,顯示系統100將會利用面板資料時脈訊號的計算公式,將第一空白區間BLK調整至較大的第二空白區間BLK’(如第3圖所示),以使背光驅動訊號BL能被最佳化,達到兼顧雙重影像消除的功能以及維持畫面亮度的功能,說明如下。 Unfortunately, in Figure 2, the length of the first blank interval BLK is equal to the time of 50 pixel scans. This means that in the initial setting of the display system 100, the vertical sync signal Vsync only supports a smaller duty cycle of the first blank interval BLK, which is 50/1130=4.4%. In other words, unless the duty ratio of the backlight driving signal BL is less than 4.4%, the display system 100 will not be able to provide the function of dual image elimination. Moreover, even if the duty ratio of the backlight driving signal BL is less than 4.4%, since the backlight driving signal BL is a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal, an excessively small duty ratio will cause the energy of the pulse modulation signal to decrease, Therefore, the problem of insufficient screen brightness may also occur. In view of this, the display system 100 will use the calculation formula of the panel data clock signal to adjust the first blank interval BLK to a larger second blank interval BLK' (as shown in FIG. 3) to make the backlight drive signal BL can be optimized to achieve both the function of double image elimination and the function of maintaining the brightness of the screen, as explained below.

第3圖係為顯示系統100中,垂直同步訊號Vsync’以及背光驅動訊號BL’於更新設定下之波形圖。應當理解的是,在顯示系統100中,面板資料時脈訊號的傳輸速率、水平同步訊號的水平同步週期、以及垂直同步訊號的垂直同 步週期符合下列公式:PDATA=HTOTAL×VTOTAL×FR FIG. 3 is a waveform diagram of the vertical synchronization signal Vsync′ and the backlight driving signal BL′ in the display system 100 under the updated settings. It should be understood that in the display system 100, the transmission rate of the panel data clock signal, the horizontal synchronization period of the horizontal synchronization signal, and the vertical synchronization period of the vertical synchronization signal conform to the following formula: P DATA = H TOTAL × V TOTAL × FR

PDATA為面板資料時脈訊號的傳輸速率、HTOTAL為水平同步週期、VTOTAL為垂直同步週期、且FR為幀率(Frame Rate)常數。因此,在前述第一垂直同步週期VTOTAL為1130個畫素掃描的時間的情況下,若是第一水平同步週期HTOTAL被設定為525個畫素掃描的時間且幀率常數FR被設定為144赫茲(Hz),則顯示系統100之面板資料時脈訊號的傳輸速率為525×1130×144。為了讓第一垂直同步週期VTOTAL增加,依據前述公式,可以將面板資料時脈訊號的傳輸速率PDATA增加,或是可以將面板資料時脈訊號的傳輸速率PDATA增加並將水平同步週期HTOTAL降低。舉例而言,顯示系統100的面板資料時脈訊號的第一傳輸速率(例如75MHz)可以變更為較大的第二傳輸速率(例如99MHz)。並且,可以將水平同步訊號的第一水平同步週期(例如560個畫素掃描時間)變更為較小的第二水平同步週期(例如525個畫素掃描時間)。依據PDATA=HTOTAL×VTOTAL×FR的公式,在幀率常數FR被設定為144Hz的情況下,可以推導出對應的第一垂直同步週期VTOTAL,如下:VTOTAL=PDATA/(HTOTAL×FR)=99000000/(525×144)=1309.52 P DATA is the transmission rate of the clock signal of the panel data, H TOTAL is the horizontal synchronization period, V TOTAL is the vertical synchronization period, and FR is the frame rate (Frame Rate) constant. Therefore, in the case where the first vertical synchronization period V TOTAL is 1130 pixel scans, if the first horizontal synchronization period H TOTAL is set to 525 pixel scans and the frame rate constant FR is set to 144 Hertz (Hz), the transmission rate of the clock signal of the panel data of the display system 100 is 525×1130×144. In order to make a first vertical synchronization period V TOTAL increases, the aforementioned equation based, may increase the data transmission rate when the panel P DATA clock signals, or data transfer rate clock signal to the panel P DATA may increase and the horizontal synchronization period H TOTAL decreases. For example, the first transmission rate (eg 75 MHz) of the clock signal of the panel data of the display system 100 can be changed to a larger second transmission rate (eg 99 MHz). In addition, the first horizontal synchronization period of the horizontal synchronization signal (for example, 560 pixel scan time) can be changed to a smaller second horizontal synchronization period (for example, 525 pixel scan time). According to the formula of P DATA =H TOTAL ×V TOTAL ×FR, when the frame rate constant FR is set to 144 Hz, the corresponding first vertical synchronization period V TOTAL can be derived as follows: V TOTAL =P DATA /(H TOTAL ×FR)=99000000/(525×144)=1309.52

因此,當面板資料時脈訊號的傳輸速率PDATA增加且水平同步週期HTOTAL降低時,可由公式推導出對應的第一垂直同步週期VTOTAL約為1309個畫素掃描的時間。然而,為了避免混淆,在第3圖中,1309個畫素掃描的時間對應的垂直同步週期稱為「第二垂直同步週期VTOTAL’」。第3圖的垂直同步訊號稱為「垂直同步訊號Vsync’」。第3圖的背光驅動訊號稱為「背光驅動訊號BL’」。換句話說,第二垂直同步週期VTOTAL’可定義為1309個畫素掃描的時間,以1309p表示。並且,第二垂直同步週期VTOTAL’包含第二垂直畫素主動同步區間ACT’,以及第二空白區間BLK’。第二垂直畫素主動同步區間ACT’必須要對應顯示面板10的垂直 畫素數量。因此第一垂直畫素主動同步區間ACT的長度與第二垂直畫素主動同步區間ACT’的長度相等,等於1080個畫素掃描的時間,以1080p表示。當垂直同步訊號Vsync的第一垂直同步週期VTOTAL(1130p)變更為垂直同步訊號Vsync’的第二垂直同步週期VTOTAL’(1309p)時,第一空白區間BLK的第一時間長度(50p)會變更為第二空白區間BLK’第二時間長度(229p)。換句話說,第二空白區間BLK’的長度等於第二垂直同步週期VTOTAL’,減去第二垂直畫素主動同步區間ACT’的長度。因此,第二空白區間BLK’的長度等於1309-1080=229個畫素掃描的時間,以229p表示。類似地,為了避免因動態模糊(Motion Blur)而造成的雙重影像,背光驅動訊號BL’可將背光裝置14僅在第二空白區間BLK’中之一段時間區間內開啟。例如,背光驅動訊號BL’可在第二背光開啟區間BLE’將背光裝置14開啟。第二背光開啟區間BLE’在第二空白區間BLK’內。並且,背光驅動訊號BL’可在第二背光關閉區間BLD’內將背光裝置14關閉。由於背光裝置14於第二空白區間BLK’外關閉,因此第二垂直畫素主動同步區間ACT’與背光裝置14被開啟之第二背光開啟區間BLE’不重疊。因此,對於觀看者而言,第二人眼可視區F0’所看到的顯示畫面操作於穩態,理論上不會發生雙重影像。 Therefore, when the transmission rate of the pulse signal P DATA of the panel data clock increases and the horizontal synchronization period H TOTAL decreases, the corresponding first vertical synchronization period V TOTAL can be deduced from the formula in a time of approximately 1309 pixel scans. However, in order to avoid confusion, in Figure 3, the vertical synchronization period corresponding to the time of 1309 pixel scans is called "second vertical synchronization period V TOTAL '". The vertical sync signal in Figure 3 is called "Vertical Sync Signal Vsync'". The backlight driving signal in FIG. 3 is called "backlight driving signal BL'". In other words, the second vertical synchronization period V TOTAL 'can be defined as the time of 1309 pixel scans, denoted by 1309p. In addition, the second vertical synchronization period V TOTAL 'includes a second vertical pixel active synchronization interval ACT' and a second blank interval BLK'. The second vertical pixel active synchronization interval ACT' must correspond to the number of vertical pixels of the display panel 10. Therefore, the length of the first vertical pixel active synchronization interval ACT is equal to the length of the second vertical pixel active synchronization interval ACT', which is equal to the time of 1080 pixel scans, expressed in 1080p. When the first vertical synchronization period V TOTAL (1130p) of the vertical synchronization signal Vsync is changed to the second vertical synchronization period V TOTAL '(1309p) of the vertical synchronization signal Vsync', the first time length (50p) of the first blank interval BLK Will change to the second blank interval BLK' second time length (229p). In other words, the length of the second blank interval BLK' is equal to the second vertical synchronization period V TOTAL ', minus the length of the second vertical pixel active synchronization interval ACT'. Therefore, the length of the second blank interval BLK' is equal to the time of 1309-1080=229 pixel scans, expressed as 229p. Similarly, in order to avoid double images caused by Motion Blur, the backlight driving signal BL' may turn on the backlight device 14 only during a period of time in the second blank interval BLK'. For example, the backlight driving signal BL' may turn on the backlight device 14 in the second backlight turning-on interval BLE'. The second backlight-on interval BLE' is within the second blank interval BLK'. In addition, the backlight driving signal BL' can turn off the backlight device 14 in the second backlight off interval BLD'. Since the backlight device 14 is turned off outside the second blank interval BLK', the second vertical pixel active synchronization interval ACT' does not overlap with the second backlight on interval BLE' where the backlight device 14 is turned on. Therefore, for the viewer, the display screen seen by the second human eye's viewable area F0' operates in a steady state, and theoretically no double image will occur.

第3圖相比於第2圖,由於第二垂直同步週期VTOTAL’大於第一垂直同步週期VTOTAL,因此第二空白區間BLK’也會大於第一空白區間BLK。換句話說,在第一垂直同步週期VTOTAL變更為第二垂直同步週期VTOTAL’後,垂直同步訊號Vsync支援的第一空白區間BLK之占空比(4.4%)會提升至垂直同步訊號Vsync’支援的第二空白區間BLK之占空比(229/1309=17.4%)。增加量約為13%。然而,如前述提及,為了使顯示器的平均背光亮度能維持還具有消除動態模糊的功能,驅動背光源的脈波調變訊號的占空比就必須要最佳化。因此,當背光驅動訊號BL’的最佳化占空比為16%時,由於垂直同步訊號Vsync’支援的第二空白區間BLK之占空比大於16%,因此顯示系統100可以支援背光驅動訊號BL’的最佳化占 空比。換句話說,由於第二空白區間BLK’的第二時間長度(229p)大於第一空白區間BLK的第一時間長度(50p),因此顯示系統100可提供背光驅動訊號BL’更佳的設計彈性。甚至,第二垂直同步週期VTOTAL’可以趨近於顯示面板10所支援的最大垂直同步週期。因此,如此設計下,顯示系統100可以在具有雙重影像消除的功能下,仍能維持畫面亮度。 Compared with FIG. 2 in FIG. 3, since the second vertical synchronization period V TOTAL 'is greater than the first vertical synchronization period V TOTAL , the second blank interval BLK' will also be greater than the first blank interval BLK. In other words, after the first vertical sync period V TOTAL is changed to the second vertical sync period V TOTAL ', the duty cycle (4.4%) of the first blank interval BLK supported by the vertical sync signal Vsync will be increased to the vertical sync signal Vsync 'Duty cycle of the supported second blank interval BLK (229/1309=17.4%). The increase is about 13%. However, as mentioned above, in order to maintain the average backlight brightness of the display and also have the function of eliminating motion blur, the duty cycle of the pulse modulation signal driving the backlight source must be optimized. Therefore, when the optimized duty ratio of the backlight driving signal BL' is 16%, since the duty ratio of the second blank interval BLK supported by the vertical sync signal Vsync' is greater than 16%, the display system 100 can support the backlight driving signal The optimized duty cycle of BL'. In other words, since the second time length (229p) of the second blank interval BLK' is greater than the first time length (50p) of the first blank interval BLK, the display system 100 can provide better design flexibility of the backlight driving signal BL' . Even, the second vertical synchronization period V TOTAL ′ can approach the maximum vertical synchronization period supported by the display panel 10. Therefore, with such a design, the display system 100 can still maintain the brightness of the screen with the function of dual image elimination.

然而,本發明之將垂直同步訊號Vsync’支援的第二空白區間BLK之占空比,設定至大於背光驅動訊號BL’的最佳化占空比的方式並不被上述步驟所侷限。舉例而言,使用者可以由顯示面板10所支援的複數個垂直同步週期中,直接選擇比第一垂直同步週期VTOTAL大的第二垂直同步週期VTOTAL’。或是,使用者可以直接選擇較大的第二垂直同步週期VTOTAL’所支援的顯示面板,以使被選擇的顯示面板對應的第二空白區間BLK’夠長,進而支援驅動背光裝置所用之最佳化的脈波調變訊號BL’。並且,使用者還可以將面板資料時脈訊號的第一傳輸速率變更為較大的第二傳輸速率,以使第二垂直同步週期VTOTAL’最大化。如前述提及,若是要完全消除動態模糊造成的雙重影像,支援較大的第二垂直同步週期VTOTAL’之顯示面板中,第二垂直畫素主動同步區間ACT’與背光裝置被開啟之時間區間(第二背光開啟區間BLE’)不能重疊。並且,顯示系統100也可以選擇支援驅動背光裝置14所用之”次佳化”的脈波調變訊號。例如,顯示系統100也可以選擇背光裝置14所用之占空比為5%的脈波調變訊號。因此,顯示系統100之第二空白區間BLK’除以第二垂直同步週期VTOTAL’必須要大於5%。於此設計下,雖然顯示面板10的畫面亮度會稍微降低,然而顯示系統100仍可以完全消除動態模糊造成的雙重影像。 However, the method of setting the duty cycle of the second blank interval BLK supported by the vertical sync signal Vsync' to be greater than the optimized duty cycle of the backlight driving signal BL' in the present invention is not limited by the above steps. For example, the user can directly select the second vertical synchronization period V TOTAL 'that is greater than the first vertical synchronization period V TOTAL among the plurality of vertical synchronization periods supported by the display panel 10. Or, the user can directly select the display panel supported by the larger second vertical synchronization period V TOTAL ', so that the second blank interval BLK' corresponding to the selected display panel is long enough to support driving the backlight device. Optimized pulse modulation signal BL'. In addition, the user can also change the first transmission rate of the panel data clock signal to a larger second transmission rate to maximize the second vertical synchronization period V TOTAL '. As mentioned above, if you want to completely eliminate the double image caused by motion blur, in the display panel that supports a larger second vertical synchronization period V TOTAL ', the second vertical pixel active synchronization interval ACT' and the time when the backlight device is turned on The intervals (the second backlight-on interval BLE') cannot overlap. In addition, the display system 100 may also select a “suboptimal” pulse modulation signal used to drive the backlight device 14. For example, the display system 100 may also select a pulse modulation signal with a duty ratio of 5% used by the backlight device 14. Therefore, the second blank interval BLK' of the display system 100 divided by the second vertical synchronization period V TOTAL 'must be greater than 5%. Under this design, although the screen brightness of the display panel 10 is slightly reduced, the display system 100 can still completely eliminate the double image caused by the motion blur.

如前述提及,顯示系統100的處理器15可以接收訊號源16所產生的影像資料訊號。訊號源16所產生的影像資料訊號可為由外部電腦之顯示卡所產生的影音資料流,或由影音播放器所產生的影音資料流。例如,外部電腦之顯示 卡可以產生傳輸速率為144M(畫素/秒)的影像資料訊號,而處理器15也可以依據影像資料訊號,產生不同傳輸速度PDATA的面板資料時脈訊號以供使用者選擇。例如,當使用者欲增加第二垂直同步週期VTOTAL’至顯示系統100所支援的最大垂直同步週期時,可以選擇適當面板資料時脈訊號之傳輸速度PDATA。被選擇的面板資料時脈訊號之傳輸速度PDATA可為前文所述之,比原始傳輸速率(第一傳輸速率)大的第二傳輸速率。而影像資料訊號的傳輸速率(如144M畫素/秒)可與面板資料時脈訊號之第二傳輸速率不同。換句話說,處理器15具有調變的功能,可以最佳化地產生顯示面板10所用的面板資料時脈訊號之傳輸速度PDATAAs mentioned above, the processor 15 of the display system 100 can receive the image data signal generated by the signal source 16. The image data signal generated by the signal source 16 may be an audio-visual data stream generated by a display card of an external computer, or an audio-visual data stream generated by an audio-visual player. For example, the display card of an external computer can generate an image data signal with a transmission rate of 144M (pixels per second), and the processor 15 can also generate panel data clock signals of different transmission speeds P DATA according to the image data signal for use Choose. For example, when the user wants to increase the second vertical sync period V TOTAL 'to the maximum vertical sync period supported by the display system 100, he can select the appropriate panel data clock signal transmission speed P DATA . The transmission speed P DATA of the selected clock signal of the panel data may be the second transmission rate higher than the original transmission rate (first transmission rate) as described above. The transmission rate of the image data signal (such as 144M pixels/sec) can be different from the second transmission rate of the panel data clock signal. In other words, the processor 15 has a modulation function and can optimally generate the transmission speed P DATA of the panel data clock signal used by the display panel 10.

第4圖係為顯示系統100執行降低雙重影像效果的顯示方法之流程圖。顯示系統100執行降低雙重影像效果的顯示方法包含步驟S401至步驟S403。任何合理的技術變更都屬於本發明所揭露的範疇。步驟S401至步驟S403描述於下。 FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a display method performed by the display system 100 to reduce the dual image effect. The display method performed by the display system 100 to reduce the dual image effect includes steps S401 to S403. Any reasonable technical changes belong to the scope disclosed by the present invention. Steps S401 to S403 are described below.

步驟S401:將面板資料時脈訊號的第一傳輸速率變更為第二傳輸速率;步驟S402:依據至少面板資料時脈訊號的第二傳輸速率,將垂直同步訊號的第一垂直同步週期VTOTAL變更為比第一垂直同步週期VTOTAL大的第二垂直同步週期VTOTAL’,其中第二垂直同步週期VTOTAL’包含第二垂直畫素主動同步區間ACT’以及第二空白區間BLK’;步驟S403:僅在第二空白區間BLK’內之任一長度的時間區間內,開啟背光裝置14。 Step S401: Change the first transmission rate of the panel data clock signal to the second transmission rate; Step S402: Change the first vertical synchronization period V TOTAL of the vertical synchronization signal according to at least the second transmission rate of the panel data clock signal Is a second vertical synchronization period V TOTAL 'larger than the first vertical synchronization period V TOTAL ', wherein the second vertical synchronization period V TOTAL ' includes a second vertical pixel active synchronization interval ACT' and a second blank interval BLK'; step S403 : The backlight device 14 is turned on only during a time interval of any length within the second blank interval BLK'.

步驟S401至步驟S403的原理以及細節已於前文中描述,故於此將不再贅述。在顯示系統100中,當第二垂直同步週期VTOTAL’夠大時,第二空白區間BLK’可以支援高占空比的最佳化背光驅動訊號。因此,顯示系統100的背光裝置14的開啟/關閉區間將可被最佳化,故能避免動態模糊造成的雙重影像,同時也 能提升視覺體驗品質。 The principles and details of steps S401 to S403 have been described in the foregoing, so they will not be repeated here. In the display system 100, when the second vertical synchronization period V TOTAL 'is large enough, the second blank interval BLK' can support an optimized backlight driving signal with a high duty ratio. Therefore, the on/off interval of the backlight device 14 of the display system 100 can be optimized, so that the double image caused by the motion blur can be avoided, and the visual experience quality can also be improved.

綜上所述,本發明描述了一種降低雙重影像效果的顯示方法及其顯示系統。顯示系統可以利用增加面板資料時脈訊號之傳輸速度及/或減少水平同步週期,以最大化垂直同步週期。或是,使用者可以直接選擇支援較大垂直同步週期的顯示系統。由於垂直同步週期很大,因此垂直同步週期內的空白區間之時間長度也會很大。當空白區間之時間長度夠大時,表示垂直同步訊號支援的空白區間之占空比,將大於背光驅動訊號的最佳化占空比。因此,垂直同步訊號即可配合最佳化的背光驅動訊號,用以降低甚至消除動態模糊所造成的雙重影像。換句話說,由於空白區間之時間長度夠大,因此本發明的顯示系統可將背光裝置之最佳化的啟動區間設定為落入空白區間內,進而避免人眼看到畫素更新時的暫態影像,在影像亮度以及畫質能維持的條件下更能增加視覺體驗的品質。 In summary, the present invention describes a display method and display system for reducing the effect of dual images. The display system can increase the transmission speed of the clock signal of the panel data and/or reduce the horizontal synchronization period to maximize the vertical synchronization period. Or, the user can directly select a display system that supports a larger vertical synchronization period. Since the vertical synchronization period is large, the length of the blank interval in the vertical synchronization period will also be large. When the length of the blank interval is large enough, it means that the duty cycle of the blank interval supported by the vertical synchronization signal will be greater than the optimized duty cycle of the backlight driving signal. Therefore, the vertical synchronization signal can be matched with the optimized backlight driving signal to reduce or even eliminate the double image caused by the motion blur. In other words, since the length of the blank interval is large enough, the display system of the present invention can set the optimized start interval of the backlight device to fall within the blank interval, thereby avoiding the transient state when the human eye sees the pixel update The image can increase the quality of the visual experience under the condition that the image brightness and image quality can be maintained.
