Liquid crystal display device for displaying video data
View Patent ↗A liquid crystal display device for displaying video data having a detection circuit for detecting a luminance distribution based on video data which is inputted, the luminance distribution being indicative of generation frequency of gradations in each of divided region which includes a plurality of gradations. The display device includes a determination circuit for determining at least one of a plurality of divided regions of higher generation frequency of gradation than that of other divided regions based on the luminance distribution, a correction circuit for correcting the video data so as to make a luminance characteristic of the at least one of the plurality of divided regions of higher generation frequency of gradation more abrupt than a luminance characteristic of the other divided regions, and a liquid crystal display panel for displaying the corrected video data. A width of the divided region is changeable.
1. A liquid crystal display device for displaying video data, comprising:
a detection circuit for detecting a histogram of gradations for each of divided regions based on video data which is inputted, each divided region including a plurality of gradations;
a determination circuit for determining at least one of a plurality of divided regions of higher generation frequency of gradation on the histogram than that of other divided regions based on the histogram;
a correction circuit for correcting the video data so as to make a luminance characteristic of the at least one of the plurality of divided regions of higher generation frequency of gradation on the histogram more abrupt than a luminance characteristic of the other divided regions; and
a liquid crystal display panel for displaying the corrected video data;
wherein a width of the divided region becomes narrower as a light transmittance of a liquid crystal of the liquid crystal display device becomes greater.
2. A liquid crystal display device for displaying video data, comprising:
a detection circuit for detecting a histogram of gradations for each of divided regions based on video data which is inputted, each divided region including a plurality of gradations;
a determination circuit for determining at least one of a plurality of divided regions of higher generation frequency of gradation on the histogram than that of other divided regions based on the histogram;
a correction circuit for increasing an output gradation number against an input gradation number of the at least one of the plurality of divided regions of higher generation frequency of gradation on the histogram more than an output gradation number against an input gradation number of other divided regions, to correct the video data; and
a liquid crystal display panel for displaying the corrected video data;
wherein a width of the divided region becomes narrower as a light transmittance of the liquid crystal of the liquid crystal display device becomes greater.
3. A liquid crystal display device for displaying video data, comprising:
a detection circuit for detecting a histogram of gradations for each of divided regions based on the video data which is inputted, each divided region including a plurality of gradations;
a determination circuit for determining at least one of a plurality of divided regions of higher generation frequency of gradation on the histogram than that of other divided regions based on the histogram;
a correction circuit for correcting the video data so as to emphasize contrast of the at least one of the plurality of divided regions of higher generation frequency of gradation more than contrast of the other divided regions; and
a liquid crystal display panel for displaying the corrected video data;
wherein a width of the divided region becomes narrower as a light transmittance of the liquid crystal of the liquid crystal display device greater.
