Method and apparatus for controlling a display device |
摘要 |
The invention deals with the large area flicker effect reduction in display devices like plasma display panels, in which the light output is controlled by small pulses over a whole frame period and the amount of small pulses determine the brightness of the light output. The invention proposes an adaptation of the known principle of sub-field grouping for large area flicker reduction for the specific sub-field coding process called incremental sub-field coding, in which only those sub-field code words are taken for display driving having the characteristic that there is never a sub-field inactivated between two activated sub-fields or never a sub-field is activated between two inactivated sub-fields. For this specific sub-field coding it is proposed to make the sub-field grouping in a simple manner, where all the odd sub-fields are grouped together in one group (G1) and all the even sub-fields are grouped together in a second group (G2). Despite the fact that some luminance differences are present in the groups it has been proved, that this sub-field grouping leads to a very efficient large area flicker reduction because of its complementary behaviour to the required dithering technique. <IMAGE> |
