Abstract

A voltage drop compensation system and a display driving device for compensating for a voltage drop of a display panel. The voltage drop compensation system generates a voltage drop compensation value for each of a plurality of regions into which a test image of a panel is divided, and the display driving device compensates for a voltage drop for each region of image data using the voltage drop compensation value.

Claims (23)

1. A voltage drop compensation system of a display panel, comprising:

an image receiver dividing a test image of a panel into a plurality of regions;

a luminance value generator generating a detected luminance value of each of the plurality of regions; and

a voltage drop compensation value generator generating a voltage drop compensation value of a region in which a voltage drop has occurred among the plurality of regions, by comparing the detected luminance value and a preset target luminance value,

wherein the preset target luminance value is a luminance value of a region which is selected as a target region among the plurality of regions,

wherein the voltage drop compensation value is a difference value between the detected luminance value and the preset target luminance value,

wherein the image receiver receives the test image of the panel corresponding to a plurality of grayscales and a plurality of DBVs, and outputs an image signal and position information for each of the plurality of regions into which the test image is divided, and

wherein the voltage drop compensation value generator receives the detected luminance value and the position information, sets the target luminance value of the test image corresponding to the plurality of grayscales and the plurality of DBVs, and generates the voltage drop compensation value by comparing the target luminance value and the detected luminance value for each region of the test image corresponding to the plurality of grayscales and the plurality of DBVs.

2. The voltage drop compensation system according to claim 1 , wherein the luminance value generator generates an average luminance value of a plurality of pixels included in the target region, as the target luminance value.

3. The voltage drop compensation system according to claim 1 , wherein the voltage drop compensation value generator sets one of a central region of the panel and a region closest to a center of the panel among the plurality of regions, as the target region.

4. The voltage drop compensation system according to claim 1 , wherein

position information of the plurality of regions is transferred from the image receiver to the luminance value generator and the voltage drop compensation value generator, and

the voltage drop compensation value is set so that the detected luminance value is the same as the target luminance value.

5. The voltage drop compensation system according to claim 1 , wherein the luminance value generator receives the image signal and the position information, generates the detected luminance value for each region of the test image corresponding to the plurality of grayscales and the plurality of DBVs, and outputs the detected luminance value and the position information for each region.

6. The voltage drop compensation system according to claim 5 , further comprising:

a compensation value storage including a lookup table,

wherein the compensation value storage stores in the lookup table the voltage drop compensation value corresponding to the plurality of grayscales and the plurality of DBVs for each region.

7. The voltage drop compensation system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a Mura compensation value storage storing a Mura compensation value of the panel; and

a Mura compensator generating Mura compensation data by applying the Mura compensation value to the voltage drop compensation value,

wherein the Mura compensation data is image data in which Mura is compensated for.

8. The voltage drop compensation system according to claim 7 , wherein the Mura compensation value is a Mura compensation value which compensates for at least one of a Mura region and a Mura pixel of the panel, and

the Mura compensator generates the Mura compensation data by applying the Mura compensation value to a coefficient of a preset Mura compensation equation.
