BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention relates to the method and device used for eliminating the image
overlap blurring phenomenon between frames in the process of simulating CRT impulse
type image display, and more particularly, to the method and device used for eliminating
the after image overlap blurring phenomenon between frames in the process of simulating
CRT impulse type image display with liquid crystal display (LCD).
2. The Prior Arts
[0002] In recent years, liquid crystal display (LCD) device have been very popular and widely
used, and the varieties of its products are enormous, from the consumer electronic
products to computers and the mobile phone wireless communication applications, such
that the technology progress and development of the LCD device is rapidly advancing,
and its trend is in agreement with the future trend of the development of the electronic
products toward the features of light weight, thin thickness, short length, small
size, low power consumption, and low heat dissipation, etc. And especially the development
and progress of the technology of the Liquid Crystal Display is sufficiently advanced
to overcome the restrictions and shortcomings of the traditional and the present displaying
technologies such as Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) or Light Emitting Diode (LED), and it
plays an important role in the development and application of computer, communication
equipment and other consumer electronic products, and thus the LCD technology does
indeed have great future and potential in this field.
[0003] The flat display effect of LCD is apparently superior to the image display effect
of CRT, and in addition, its power consumption and its heat dissipation are much lower
than those of the similar size CRT display. Therefore, this type of display is usually
considered as suitable to use in the following applications: portable (mobile) phone
display unit, TV receiver, display, and panel in exhibition center or advertisement
applications.
[0004] In addition, for the LED utilized widely at present, which is subject to the limitations
in various practical applications due to its inherent characteristics, such as, the
LED is preferably used in the static display for numbers, characters, or images, and
is not comparable to and can not match the LCD technology which is capable of dynamic
image display and be able to achieve the effect of liveliness and vividness.
[0005] Presently, the televisions and display devices made with the technology of liquid
crystal display have been produced in large quantities, to replace the televisions
and display devices made with the conventional CRT. However, in the liquid crystal
display technology of the present days there still exist drawbacks and limitations
that must be overcome and improved.
[0006] With regard to the image display of CRT, it utilizes the "impulse type "image display.
It produces light emissions by means of irradiating a single electron beam on the
pixels coated with fluorescence materials. However, the pixel only produces the emission
of light in an instant of a minute portion of time in each frame period. Therefore,
it seems that almost no visional overlapping phenomenon will be noticed for the images
displayed between the frames.
[0007] However, for the LCD image display, it utilizes the "hold type" image display due
to the intrinsic property of the LCD material. It produces the image display through
the optical response (namely, the gray level response) by means of applying driving
voltages on the LCD material. Nevertheless, due to the limitation of the intrinsic
property of the liquid crystal material, the image it displays occupies the predominant
portion of time of that frame. And for each time its image changes, its luminance
(or brightness) also changes step-wise sequentially. Therefore, from the viewpoint
of the spectators, he may feel the overlapping of the image of the new frame on that
of the old frame, thus creating the blurring of the image outlines and producing the
phenomenon of the so-called "after-image".
[0008] In order to eliminate the above-mentioned after image produced by the LCD display
device slow optical response, and the resulting image outline blurring phenomenon,
currently most LCD television manufacturers try to convert the "hold type" image display
of the LCD displaying device into the simulated (or pseudo) impulse type LCD displaying
device similar to that of the CRT displaying device, by means of a kind of the so-called
"over drive" technology, with its image only occupies a portion of the frame period
, namely, the image is not displayed during a portion of each frame period.
[0009] The method utilized in this technology is a kind of so-called "over drive" method.
It applies to the liquid crystal material the voltage (for example code 200) which
is much higher than the originally set target voltage for example code 120), thus
expediting and accelerating the optical response speed of the liquid crystal molecules,
and accelerating them to reach the predetermined optical response value, and as such
shortening the liquid crystal gray level response time to less than one frame period.
[0010] However, even the LCD display device made with this kind of over drive technology
is able to shorten its gray level response time to less than and within one frame
period, yet due to the intrinsic property of the liquid crystal, the generation of
its optical response is slow so is its decline. Therefore, the image overlapping and
the image outlines blurring phenomenon of the "after image" for the images displayed
still can not be eliminated completely.
[0011] In order to completely eliminate the "after image", presently there are three methods
adopted by the prior art, which are listed as follows:
[0012] (1) writing black data or black images into the frame in the remaining portion of
that frame period after the original formal image is displayed;
[0013] (2) shutting off the backlight, for example, the blink light method as announced
by Hitachi;
[0014] (3) the combination of the above methods (1) and (2), namely, both writing in black
image and shutting off the backlight.
[0015] And in the following we will explain in detail their respective drawbacks and limitations.
[0016] However, the three above-mentioned methods have the following drawbacks and limitations,
therefore their effects are not ideal, so that the "after image" overlap blurring
phenomenon between frames still exists on the LCD screen: (1) necessitating the extra
cost and expense of the additional equipment of frequency doubling device or backlight
blinking equipment; (2) the electric magnetic interference incurred by the addition
of such equipments; (3) for certain liquid crystal materials, their optical responses
are fast from brightness to dark, and are slow from dark to brightness; but for other
liquid crystal materials their optical responses are slow from brightness to dark,
and are fast from dark to brightness.
[0017] In order to achieve for certain the effect of eliminating the phenomenon of "after
image" overlap blurring displayed on the LCD display screen, the inventor of the present
invention proposed a "Method And Device Used For Simulating CRT Impulse Type Image
Display" in pending Taiwan Patent Application No. 98103825 to overcome the shortcomings
and limitations of the prior art. In that pending paten application, the proposed
method and device are mainly characterized in scanning the black lines, which is different
from the prior art. By utilizing that proposed method and device, the period of the
control voltage pulse used for the image display can be shortened to less than 8.3ms
(which corresponds to 120Hz), and for which this period is adjustable, and the intervals
of the scanning black lines applied during this period is also adjustable. As such,
it can be applied to the various optical responses of various different liquid crystal
materials, so as to achieve for certain the purpose of simulating CRT impulse type
image display. Besides, it can avoid the extra cost and expense of the additional
frequency-doubling device of the prior art and the resulting electric magnetic interference.
In addition, the inventor of that patent application provides six Embodiments to attain
similar but better effects, and thus achieving the important advance and breakthrough
of the similar technology in this field.
[0018] However, for certain liquid crystal material its optical response is slower from
brightness to dark, and during the black line scanning interval its optical response
has not yet reached the sufficiently low value. As such, some of them still result
in the phenomenon of certain "after image" overlap blurring. In order to thoroughly
eliminate this phenomenon, and effectively achieve the ideal effect of simulating
CRT image display with LCD display, the present inventor has dedicated his expertise,
experience and ingenuity to the research and development of this subject, so as to
bring about the realization of the present invention, and which will be discussed
in detail as follows.
[0019] As such, the present application is the continuation or extension invention of the
inventor's another pending Taiwan Patent Application No. 98103825, with its purpose
as solving and improving the problem of image overlap blurring between frames in the
process of "simulating CRT impulse type image display". However, as to how to scan
the black lines to achieve "simulating CRT impulse type image display with LCD display",
please refer to the prior patent applications of the present inventor, which will
not be repeated here for brevity's sake.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0020] Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide the method and device
used for the eliminating the image overlap blurring phenomenon between frames in the
process of simulating CRT impulse type image display, so as to solve and overcome
the shortcomings and limitations of the above-mentioned related prior art .It controls
and reduces the accumulated liquid crystal optical response during that interval to
the lowest value desired by means of providing scanning black lines on the screen,
and coupled with the reduction of backlight luminance to the appropriate low level,
thus achieving for certain the purpose of simulating CRT impulse type image display.
And by doing so, the present invention can effectively eliminate the phenomenon of
image overlap blurring of the " after image" between frames. And as such, the present
invention can significantly improve the image displaying quality of the LCD display,
in addition to saving the extra cost and expense of the additional equipment.
[0021] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a
device used for eliminating the image overlap blurring between frames in the process
of simulating CRT image display with LCD display. In the following description, we
will describe the design and operation principle of the device of the present invention
with reference to the attached drawings. First, please refer to Figure 1, which indicates
the schematic diagram of the structure of the liquid display panel and backlight module
according to the Embodiment of the present invention.
[0022] Next, please refer to Figures 2(a) to 2(d), which illustrate the design and operation
principle of the device of the present invention by means of the description of the
relations of waveforms between the driving voltage pulse V
LC of the liquid crystal molecules V
LC, the backlight control voltage BV, backlight luminance response BL, and the accumulated
liquid crystal optical response Lq.
[0023] Please refer to Figure 2(a), wherein the solid line indicates the waveform of the
liquid crystal driving voltage pulses V
LC generated by the device of the present invention, its unit "code" is a kind of voltage
unit, and the dotted line indicates the waveform of the resulting optical response
of the liquid crystal molecules with nits as its unit; wherein the dotted line (c)
indicates the waveform curve of the liquid crystal molecule optical response when
the luminance of the backlight unit of the device has not been controlled and reduced
to the sufficiently low level by the prior art; and the dotted line (d) indicates
the waveform curve of the liquid crystal molecule optical response when the luminance
of the backlight unit of the device has been controlled and reduced to the sufficiently
low level by the present invention. Wherein, it is evident that the accumulated optical
response of the said liquid crystal molecule can be reduced to the desired and sufficiently
low level through scanning black lines on the display screen, and in cooperation with
properly reducing the luminance of backlight unit as shown in the following Figure
2(c). For example, the point "a" on the liquid crystal optical response curve (c)
of the prior art of Figure 2(a) can be lowered to point "b" on the liquid crystal
optical response curve (d) of the present invention. Therefore, the "after image"
overlap blurring phenomenon between frames N and N+1 can be eliminated, thus the present
application can achieve the purpose of simulating CRT impulse type image display with
LCD display, and this is the key point and characteristic of the present invention.
[0024] And then next, please refer to Figure 2 (b), it indicates the curve of the backlight
control voltage (BV) with its unit as voltage (V), wherein BV1 is the value of the
control voltage applied on the backlight unit during normal image display, while BV0
is the voltage applied when it is desired to reduce the luminance response of the
backlight unit to the level required to eliminate the image blurring. The backlight
unit can be line light source or point light source, which can be properly chosen
from the following materials depending on the optical response and the image display
desired to be achieved by the liquid crystal material and the effects of eliminating
the after images: cold cathode fluorescence lamp (CCFL), light emitting diode (LED),
organic light emitting diode (OLED), polymer light emitting diode (PLED), and electro-luminance
(EL).
[0025] Figure 2 (c) indicates the luminance (BL) response curve of the backlight unit with
luminance as its unit. Wherein, BL1 is the backlight luminance response used during
normal image display, namely, it represents the backlight luminance response value
created when control voltage BV1 is applied on the backlight unit as shown in Figure
2 (b), while BL0 is the backlight luminance response value of the reduced backlight
luminance, which in cooperation with black line scanning eliminate the after image
between frames on the display screen. The example shown in Figure 2(c) makes use of
the cold cathode fluorescence lamp (CCFL), and as such its luminance response indicates
the V shape, and it must take a certain period of time to reach its lowest point e.
Therefore, its luminance response evidently indicates the phenomenon of time delay.
However, if light emitting diode (including LED, OLED, PLED) or electro-luminance
(EL) is used, then the luminance response of the backlight unit is the immediate-target-value
mode response curve, and it is of deep well shape as shown in Figure 2(d), and the
shape of the curve of backlight control voltage is also of deep well shape as shown
in Figure 2(b).
[0026] Summing up the above, the dotted line (c) in Figure 2(a) indicates the liquid crystal
optical response curve (c) generated by the black line scanning as utilized in the
above-mentioned another pending patent application of the present inventor, and curve
(d) is the liquid crystal optical response resulting from lowering the luminance response
of the backlight unit to the lowest value through the design of the present invention.
And by adding the liquid crystal molecule optical response at point "a" in Figure
2(a), to the backlight luminance response at point "e" in Figure 2(c), then we can
obtain the accumulated liquid crystal response at point "b" in Figure 2(a). And this
is the lowest accumulated liquid crystal optical response generated by the method
and device of the present invention, and it can be designed to reach the sufficiently
low level according to the quality and effect of the actual liquid crystal image display
desired to attain, and achieving for certain the purpose of eliminating the "after
image" overlap blurring between frames on the display screen.
[0027] In addition, another important characteristic of the present invention is that the
following can be controlled and adjusted by means of controlling the duration of the
voltage applied to the backlight unit: (1) starting point of the lowest value of the
backlight unit luminance response; (2) the temporal width (namely, length) of the
lowest value of the backlight unit luminance response; (3) the depth of the lowest
value of the backlight unit luminance response; (4) the starting point of the lowest
value of the liquid crystal accumulated optical response; (5) the temporal width (namely,
length) of the lowest value of the liquid crystal accumulated optical response; and
(6) the depth of the lowest value of the liquid crystal accumulated optical response.
[0028] And it must be re-emphasize here that, the lowest value of the liquid crystal accumulated
optical response generated by the above-mentioned backlight luminance adjust and control
process, is not limited to occur at certain point on the response curve. And the length
of the temporal continuation of the lowest value of backlight luminance response can
be adjusted by controlling the duration of the applied backlight voltage, so as to
enable the lowest value of the liquid crystal molecule optical response to continue
for an adjustable interval (for example, the portion of the horizontal linear section
between time points A3 and A4 and between time points A6 and A7 as shown in Figure
2(a)). And as such, it can achieve for certain the purpose and effect of eliminating
the "after image" overlap blurring between frames. Therefore, in the above-mentioned
Figure 2(c), time point is used to illustrate the lowest point of the backlight luminance
response; its purpose is only for simplifying the explanation and facilitating the
understanding.
[0029] In addition, the advantage of backlight units made with LED or EL being superior
to those made with CCFL are: its luminance response is of the immediate-target-value
mode, and it can immediately reach the nominal luminance target response value as
shown in Figure 2(d). Besides, the backlight units made with LED or EL material can
have a plurality of sequentially incrementing nominal target values, which can be
applied to different designs. However, as for the backlight unit made with CCFL, its
luminance response is slower as the gradual-target-value mode as shown in Figure 2(c),
and it must take a certain period of time to reach the nominal luminance target response
value after the backlight unit being applied the control voltage. Therefore, its contribution
to the temporal width of reducing the liquid crystal accumulated optical response
to the lowest value is smaller. Besides, in general, the luminance response of CCFL
made with one kind of material usually has one nominal target value.
[0030] In the following analyses, we will describe in detail the other variations and Embodiments
of the device used for eliminating the image overlap blurring between frames in the
process of simulating CRT impulse type image display used in the present invention.
[0031] The present invention also relates the method used for eliminating the image overlap
blurring between frames in the process of simulating CRT impulse type image display.
[0032] The various features and advantages of the present invention can be understood more
thoroughly through the following detailed description of the Embodiment together with
the attached drawings, wherein similar reference numbers are used to represent similar
elements.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0052] In the following embodiments, the waveforms displayed are mainly used as instruments
or tools to describe the voltage applied on the liquid crystal molecule and the backlight
unit, and the characteristics and behaviors of the liquid crystal molecule optical
response and the backlight unit luminance response. And the features and advantages
of the present invention will be explained based on the above descriptions.
[0053] In Figures 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 13 in the following six embodiments, the abscissa
indicates time, and its units is millisecond (ms), with A1 to A7 as the sequentially
progressing time points; and its ordinate indicates driving voltage, with "code" as
its displaying unit. Wherein, for the sake of convenient explanation, in the above-mentioned
drawings, the time of the waveform progression on the abscissa can be divided into
(N-1)th, Nth, (N+1)th, (N+2)th, etc. equal frame time partitions as units of frame
time. And the dotted lines in Figures 4(a), 6(a), 8(a), 10(a), 12(a), and 13(a) indicate
the optical response (namely, the gray level response) path characteristic curves
for the liquid crystal molecules under the application of various different driving
voltages. Usually, the optical response is the luminance displayed by the liquid crystal,
and with nits (cd/m
2) as its unit.
[0054] In the following analysis, we will describe the method and device of the present
invention in detail by means of the circuit, the relations between the waveform curves
of the liquid crystal driving voltage pulse V
LC, backlight control voltage BV, backlight luminance response BL, and the liquid crystal
accumulated optical response Lq as shown in the six respective Embodiments.
[0055] Since the purpose and key points of the present invention is to provide "the method
and device used for the eliminating the image overlap blurring phenomenon between
frames in the process of simulating CRT impulse type image display." Therefore, the
emphases in the waveform analysis of the Embodiment of the present invention is on
the relation of waveform between the liquid crystal driving voltage pulse V
LC, backlight control voltage BV, backlight luminance response BL, and the liquid crystal
accumulated optical response Lq. However, if the reader would like to know the relations
between the waveforms of the control voltage pulse G1, G1', and driving voltage pulses
D
1, D
1, V
LC, please refer to Taiwan Patent Application No. 98103825, which is another pending
application of the present inventor. Therefore, its contents will not be repeated
here for brevity's sake.
[0056] In addition, it should emphasized and explained here that the backlight device used
in the Embodiment herein utilizes the CCFL as example for illustration, and its optical
response is the V-shaped gradual-target-value mode and indicates the phenomenon of
time delay. However, the present invention may also utilizes the backlight device
made of LED, OLED, PLED, or EL material, which is able to similarly achieve the purpose
and effect of "the method and device used for the eliminating the image overlap blurring
phenomenon between frames in the process of simulating CRT impulse type image display".
But it should be noted that, the luminance response of the backlight device made of
the said materials indicates the immediate-target-value mode of U shape deep well
(see Figure 2 (d)). Therefore, the shape of the waveform of the accumulated liquid
crystal optical response is very similar to those with the CCFL as the example in
the following Embodiments, though with slight variation. The waveform analysis in
the specification is based on using CCFL as the backlight device, however, as to the
detailed description and details of the waveform analysis of the accumulated liquid
crystal optical response curve induced and generated by the backlight device made
of LED, OLED, PLED or EL, the interested reader can easily infer and obtain the related
information based on the above description and the waveform analysis of each of the
following Embodiments. Therefore, they will not be described in detail here one by
one, so as to avoid unnecessarily making the said waveform analyses appear to be too
complicated.

Image Blurring Elimination Method
[0063] The following is the image blurring elimination method used for the image blurring
elimination device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, comprising
the following steps: (I) providing the first control signal (G
1) with periodic pulse waveforms to the first gate of the first transistor (Q) of the

between the frames.
Waveform Analysis
[0064] In the following analysis , please refer to Figures 4(a) to 4(d) as we describe in
detail the relations between the waveforms of the driving voltage pulse of the liquid
crystal molecules V
LC, the backlight control voltage BV, backlight luminance response BL, and the accumulated
liquid crystal optical response Lq generated by the image blurring elimination device
of Figures 1, 3(a), and 3(b) of the present Embodiment.
[0065] In the following discussion, the driving voltages V
1, V
2, and V
3 can be considered as a kind of voltage value expressed in "code".
[0066] It must be reemphasized here that the said driving voltage can reach its target voltage
momentarily, however, the liquid crystal molecules have to take a certain period of
response time to reach its optical response target position after being applied the
driving voltages. This is due to the intrinsic property of the liquid crystal.
[0067] Since usually AC voltage is utilized as the voltage for driving the liquid crystal,
therefore, this voltage indicates the phenomenon of alternating positive and negative
phases during the control and driving process of the liquid crystal (namely, the waveforms
of the pulses of driving voltage V
LC will indicate the phenomenon of alternating positive and negative phases relative
to the reference voltage V
COM).
[0068] These waveforms proceed sequentially and periodically from time points A1 to A7 repeatedly
in the following manner:
[0069] Before time point A1, the driving voltage value V
LC in the (N-1)th frame is V
1, (code 0) of negative polarity, the value of backlight control voltage BV is BV0,

(b) at time point A1 the waveform starts entering into the Nth frame, at this time
the value of the driving voltage pulse VLC increases to V2 (code 32) of positive polarity, and it remains so until time point A2, at this time
the backlight control voltage BV increases to BV1, and the value of backlight luminance
response BL increases gradually from BL0 to BL1, at this time the accumulated liquid
crystal optical response Lq increases gradually from Lq1 at time point A1 to Lq2 at
time point A2; then
(c) time proceeds to time point A2, and at this time the value of the driving voltage
pulse VLC decreases from V2 (code 32) to V1 (code 0) of positive polarity, and the value of the backlight control voltage BV
still remains at BV1, the backlight luminance response BL still remains at BL1, and
the accumulated liquid crystal optical response decreases from Lq2 at time point A2,
via time point A3 and then later to value Lq1 until time point A4; then
(d) the time proceeds to time point A3, at this time the value of the driving voltage
pulse VLC still remains at V1 (code 0) of positive polarity, and the value of the backlight control voltage BV
decreases to BV0, the value of backlight luminance response BL gradually decreases
from BL1 at time point A3 to BL0 at time point A4, and the accumulated liquid crystal
optical response later drops to Lq1 until time point A4; then
(e) the time proceeds to time point A4, at this time the value of the driving voltage
pulse VLC drops from V1 (code 0) to V3. (code 120) of negative polarity, the value of backlight control voltage BV increases
to BV1, and the value of backlight luminance response BL start gradually increasing
to BL1, and the accumulated liquid crystal optical response start gradually increasing
from Lq1 at time point A4 to Lq3 at time point A5; then
(f) the time proceeds to time point A5, at this time the value of the driving voltage
pulse VLC increases to V1, (code 0) of negative polarity, at this time the value of backlight control voltage
BV still remains at BV1, the value of backlight luminance BL still remains at BL1,
and the accumulated liquid crystal optical response decreases steadily via time point
A6, then later decreases to Lq1 and then remains so until time point A7; then
(g) the time proceeds to time point A6, at this time the driving voltage pulse VLC still voltage BV decreases from BV1 to BV0, and it remains so until time point A7,
the value of the backlight luminance response BL decreases gradually from BL1 at time
point A6 to BL0 at time point A7, and the accumulated liquid crystal optical response
later drops to Lq1 and remains so until time point A7; and then
(h) the time proceeds to time point A7 and the waveform start entering (N+2)th frame,
and the descriptions of the various waveforms are the same as those for the (N+1)th
frame between time points A4-A7 as described in the above steps (e)-(g).
