Abstract

The present invention provides a drive method and a drive device of a liquid crystal display, and the drive method comprises: receiving an image to display; implementing block detection to the image pixels of the image to display to determine dimensions of color blocks where the image pixels are; respectively setting block weights for the respective image pixels according to the dimensions of the color blocks; implementing the color washout compensation to the image to display according to the block weight; driving the liquid crystal panel to show the image to display after the color washout compensation. With the aforesaid arrangement, the present invention can reduce the color washout under large view angle to promote the display effect of the large view angle.

Claims (13)

1. A drive method of a liquid crystal display, wherein the drive method comprises:

receiving an image to display;

implementing block detection to the image pixels of the image to display to determine dimensions of color blocks where the image pixels are;

respectively setting block weights for the respective image pixels according to the dimensions of the color blocks;

implementing the color washout compensation to the image to display according to the block weight; the step of implementing color washout compensation to the image to display according to the block weight comprises: employing the original gray scale values of the respective primary color components of the respective image pixels of the image to display to respectively generate the first display gray scale value and the second display gray scale value, wherein the first display gray scale value and the second display gray scale value are employed to respectively control display brightnesses of two display pixels of the same color on the liquid crystal panel, and the first display gray scale value is larger than the second display gray scale value, wherein the block weights are employed to set the ratio of the first display gray scale value and the second display gray scale value, to make that the ratio of the first display gray scale value and the second display gray scale value is smaller as the color block is smaller;

driving the liquid crystal panel to show the image to display after the color washout compensation;

wherein a sum of the display brightness corresponded with the first display gray scale value and the display brightness corresponded with the second display gray scale value is twice of display brightness corresponded with the original display gray scale value;

before the step of driving the liquid crystal panel to show the image to display after the color washout compensation, the method further comprises:

implementing skin color detection to the image pixels of the image to display to determine nude pixel and non skin color pixel;

setting different skin color weights for the nude pixel and the non skin color pixel;

implementing color washout compensation to the image to display according to the skin color weights, wherein the skin color weights are employed to set the ratio of the first display gray scale value and the second display gray scale value, to make a ratio of the first display gray scale value and the second display gray scale value of the nude pixel larger than a ratio of the first display gray scale value and the second display gray scale value of the non skin color pixel.

2. The drive method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of driving the liquid crystal panel to show the image to display after the color washout compensation comprises:

controlling at least two display pixels on the liquid crystal display panel controlled by at least two first display gray scale values to be adjacently aligned along the row direction or the column direction.
