Abstract

The invention relates to a system for pre-adjusting the video image adjustment parameters of a flat screen device for displaying images, consisting of a screen and electronic control circuits which transmit video signals to it and a reticle generator. According to the present invention, the device further includes acquisition means for acquiring the video signals, means for calculating values of the adjustment parameters and adjustment means for storing the values of the adjustment parameters in the electronic control circuits.

Claims (38)

1. A system for pre-adjusting video image adjustment parameters of a flat screen device for displaying images, comprising:

a screen;

electronic control circuits which transmit video signals to the screen;

a reticle generator, having acquisition means for acquiring the video signals;

means for calculating values of the adjustment parameters; and

adjustment means for storing the values of the adjustment parameters in the electronic control circuits,

wherein the calculation means comprises a supervisor designed to repeat the calculations so long as the values of the adjustment parameters are within a predetermined range,

wherein the electronic control circuits comprise a circuit for rendition of the adjustment parameters, which is designed to digitally store values of the calculated adjustment parameters, and

wherein the adjustment means comprises a simulator of the circuit for rendition.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the circuit for rendition comprises a programmable logic circuit and the simulator comprises at least one programmable logic circuit emulating the programmable logic circuit.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the electronic control circuits comprises a circuit for rendition of the adjustment parameters, which is designed to digitally store values of the calculated adjustment parameters.

4. A system for pre-adjusting video image adjustment parameters of a flat screen device for displaying images, comprising:

a screen;

electronic control circuits which transmit video signals to the screen;

a reticle generator, having acquisition means for acquiring the video signals;

means for calculating values of the adjustment parameters; and

adjustment means for storing the values of the adjustment parameters in the electronic control circuits,

wherein the adjustment means comprises a simulator of a rendition circuit and consists essentially of an emulator.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the circuit for rendition comprises a programmable logic circuit and the simulator comprises at least one programmable logic circuit emulating the programmable logic circuit.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the programmable logic circuit and the at least one programmable logic circuit are of the same type.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the simulator comprises the emulator.

8. The system of claim 5 , wherein the simulator comprises the emulator.

9. The system of claim 5 , wherein the simulator comprises the emulator.

10. The system of claim 5 , wherein the adjustment means comprises a module for writing to the programmable logic circuit in a manner to carry out modifications of selected electrical circuits among predetermined electrical circuits of the programmable logic circuit by which values of the calculated adjustment parameters are stored.

11. The system of claim 7 ,

wherein the adjustment means comprises a module for writing to the programmable logic circuit in a manner to carry out modifications of selected electrical circuits among predetermined electrical circuits of the programmable logic circuit by which values of the calculated adjustment parameters are stored.

12. The system of claim 11 , where in the programmable logic circuits are of the EPLD or CPLD type.

13. The system of claim 5 , wherein the programmable logic circuits are of the EPLD or CPLD type.

14. The system of claim 4 , wherein the calculation means comprises a programming function for enabling the simulator on the electronic control circuits and disabling the rendition circuit during adjustment of the adjustment parameters.

15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the calculation means comprises a programming function for enabling the simulator on the electronic control circuits and disabling the rendition circuit during adjustment of the adjustment parameters.

16. The system of claim 4 , wherein the calculation means comprises a programming function for enabling the programmable logic circuit on the electronic control circuits and disabling the programmable logic circuit during adjustment of the adjustment parameters.

17. The system of claim 12 , wherein the calculation means comprises a programming function for enabling the programmable logic circuit on the electronic control circuits and disabling the programmable logic circuit during adjustment of the adjustment parameters.

18. The system of claim 16 , wherein any one of the programmable logic circuit, the simulator, and the electronic control circuits are connected together via an interface of the nail bed type.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the calculation means are designed to control the reticle generator.

20. The system of claim 16 , further comprising a programmable logic circuit; wherein any one of the programmable logic circuit, the simulator, and the electronic control circuits are connected together via an interface of the nail bed type.

21. The system of claim 1 , wherein the calculation means are designed to control the reticle generator.

22. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system comprises optical measurement means connected between the calculation means in order to adjust at least one adjustment parameter configured in a manner to alter the flicker on the screen.

23. The system of claim 20 , wherein the system comprises optical measurement means connected between the calculation means in order to adjust at least one adjustment parameter configured in a manner to alter the flicker on the screen.
