Description
本發明關於一種顯示器及於顯示裝置上顯示畫素之方法,尤指一種具有影像調整功能之顯示器及調整並顯示影像於顯示裝置上之方法。The present invention relates to a display and a method for displaying pixels on a display device, and more particularly to a display having an image adjustment function and a method of adjusting and displaying an image on the display device.
一般而言,習知顯示器允許使用者對顯示器之顯示參數分別設定,例如亮度、色度、對比度、水平垂直位置等,甚至伽瑪校正(gamma correction)之伽瑪值。這些設定適用於影像所有部位,當然包含明亮的部分及黑暗的部分。換句話說,若使用者要使黑暗的部分變亮,為此目的而執行的設定亦將使明亮的部分變得更亮,甚至可能使部分過亮而成為全白的情形。同樣地,當明亮的部分被調整得暗些時,部分黑暗的部分亦可能被調整成全黑的情形。但是,於大部分的情形,使用者只想黑暗的部分變亮些或是明亮的部分變暗些,並不想影像其他的部分有所改變,而前述設定方式並無法滿足此需求。In general, conventional displays allow the user to individually set display parameters for the display, such as brightness, chrominance, contrast, horizontal and vertical position, and even gamma correction gamma values. These settings apply to all parts of the image, including bright parts and dark parts. In other words, if the user wants to brighten the dark part, the settings performed for this purpose will also make the bright part brighter, and may even make the part too bright and become completely white. Similarly, when the bright portion is adjusted to be darker, part of the dark portion may be adjusted to be completely black. However, in most cases, the user only wants the dark part to be brighter or the bright part to be darker, and does not want to change the other parts of the image, and the above setting method cannot meet this requirement.
鑑於先前技術中的問題,本發明的目的之一在於提供一種於一顯示裝置上顯示複數個畫素之方法。該方法能依灰階範圍部分地調整畫素,故適用於僅調整目標部分的畫素,而不會改變其他部分的畫素。In view of the problems in the prior art, one of the objects of the present invention is to provide a method of displaying a plurality of pixels on a display device. This method can partially adjust the pixels according to the gray scale range, so it is suitable for adjusting only the pixels of the target part without changing the pixels of other parts.

The method also provides a first brightness adjustment relationship corresponding to the first input gray level range. Then, the method displays the pixels whose gray scale falls within the first input gray scale range on the display device according to the first brightness adjustment relationship, and simultaneously falls the gray scale within the second input gray scale range. The pixels are displayed on the display device according to the original gray scale-luminance relationship. Thereby, the plurality of pixels can be set by the user or according to the setting, only in a part of the gray scale range, for example, in the upper or middle gray scale range, rather than the entire gray scale range, relative to the original gray scale - The brightness relationship is adjusted. In practice, the plurality of pixels can be adjusted in multiple gray scales at the same time, for example, adjusting in a higher gray scale range and a lower gray scale range, so that the dark part of the image becomes brighter, and The bright part becomes darker, and this adjustment mechanism is very beneficial for instant games. Thus, the method of the present invention is capable of partially adjusting the image to address the problem of prior art adjustments that would create unwanted white or black.
本發明的另一目的在於提供一種顯示器,其能依灰階範圍部分地調整複數個畫素。該複數個畫素因此能僅於目標部分進行調整,而不會改變其他部分的畫素。Another object of the present invention is to provide a display capable of partially adjusting a plurality of pixels in accordance with a gray scale range. The plurality of pixels can therefore be adjusted only in the target portion without changing the pixels of the other portions.

In this embodiment, the appearance of the display device 12 is implemented by a screen frame 126 and a bracket 128. The screen frame 126 is used to set the display panel 124. The bracket 128 is disposed on a desktop or the like, and is controlled. The module 122 is also disposed within the screen frame 126. The input device 14 can be separated from the display device 12 or connected to the bracket 128, and electrically connected to the control module 122 by a cable, such as a cable conforming to the USB standard. However, the invention is not limited thereto.
請併參閱第3圖,第3圖為根據本發明之一較佳具體實施例之於一顯示裝置上顯示一影像之複數個畫素之方法之流程圖。為簡化此方法之說明,第3圖所示之方法以實施於第1圖及第2圖所示之顯示器1為例說明。於本實施例中,該方法根據顯示裝置12之顯示特性,提供灰階的影像輸入對應亮度階的影像輸出之一原始灰階-亮度關係,如第3圖中步驟S100所示。該方法並且提供一第一亮度調整關係及一第二亮度調整關係,如步驟S120所示。接著,該方法藉由控制模組122以部分地根據該第一亮度調整關係與該第二亮度調整關係以及部分地根據該原始灰階-亮度關係,顯示該複數個畫素於顯示面板124上,如步驟S140所示。Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a flow chart of a method for displaying a plurality of pixels of an image on a display device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In order to simplify the description of the method, the method shown in Fig. 3 is described by taking the display 1 shown in Figs. 1 and 2 as an example. In this embodiment, the method provides an original grayscale-luminance relationship of the grayscale image input corresponding to the brightness level image output according to the display characteristics of the display device 12, as shown in step S100 in FIG. The method also provides a first brightness adjustment relationship and a second brightness adjustment relationship, as shown in step S120. Then, the method displays the plurality of pixels on the display panel 124 by the control module 122 according to the first brightness adjustment relationship and the second brightness adjustment relationship and partly according to the original gray scale-luminance relationship. , as shown in step S140.
請參閱第4圖,其為原始灰階-亮度關係20、第一及第二亮度調整關係30a、30b之示意圖。於本實施例中,原始灰階-亮度關係 20以粗實線繪示於第4圖中。為簡化本發明之說明,原始灰階-亮度關係20以直線表示,但本發明不以此為限。原始灰階-亮度關係20包含一第一輸入灰階範圍20a、一第二輸入灰階範圍20b及一第三輸入灰階範圍20c。一般而言,該影像輸入得以一灰階量表示。於本實施例中,該灰階量等於256,亦即該影像輸入得為0至255之灰階值。為方便說明,該亮度階以0至1之值表示,因此,小數點於此處即有適用;但本發明不以此為限。其中,亮度階值'1'代表以滿載電流或電壓顯示;亮度階值'0'代表以低電流或電壓顯示,通常為零電流或電壓。若過載驅動顯示已啟用,亮度階值則可超過1。於本實施例中,為簡化說明,過載驅動顯示之情形於此處均予以忽略,但於實作上,本發明仍適用於過載驅動顯示之情形。Please refer to FIG. 4 , which is a schematic diagram of the original gray scale-luminance relationship 20 and the first and second brightness adjustment relationships 30a, 30b. In this embodiment, the original gray scale-luminance relationship 20 is shown in thick figure in Figure 4. To simplify the description of the present invention, the original gray scale-luminance relationship 20 is represented by a straight line, but the invention is not limited thereto. The original grayscale-luminance relationship 20 includes a first input grayscale range 20a, a second input grayscale range 20b, and a third input grayscale range 20c. In general, the image input is represented by a gray scale. In this embodiment, the gray scale is equal to 256, that is, the image input is a grayscale value of 0 to 255. For convenience of explanation, the brightness step is represented by a value of 0 to 1, and therefore, the decimal point is applicable here; however, the present invention is not limited thereto. Wherein, the brightness step '1' represents a full load current or voltage display; the brightness step '0' represents a low current or voltage display, typically zero current or voltage. If the overload drive display is enabled, the brightness level can exceed 1. In the present embodiment, in order to simplify the description, the situation of the overload drive display is ignored here, but in practice, the present invention is still applicable to the case of an overload drive display.
另外,原始灰階-亮度關係20係於出廠時根據顯示裝置12之顯示特性而提供,亦即原始灰階-亮度關係20可視為顯示裝置12之伽瑪校正。於實作上,該伽瑪校正用於校正因顯示裝置12之顯示特性而造成顯示影像的視覺失真,故一般而言,該伽瑪校正之轉換關係通常以一指數曲線實作,該伽瑪校正於整個灰階範圍均有作用,但本發明不以此為限。為簡化說明,原始灰階-亮度關係20簡化為一直線關係,即以一直線表示於第4圖中。In addition, the original grayscale-luminance relationship 20 is provided at the factory according to the display characteristics of the display device 12, that is, the original grayscale-luminance relationship 20 can be regarded as the gamma correction of the display device 12. In practice, the gamma correction is used to correct the visual distortion of the displayed image due to the display characteristics of the display device 12. Generally, the conversion relationship of the gamma correction is usually implemented by an exponential curve. Correction has an effect on the entire grayscale range, but the invention is not limited thereto. To simplify the illustration, the original grayscale-luminance relationship 20 is simplified to a straight line relationship, i.e., shown in a straight line in Fig. 4.
於本實施例中,第一亮度調整關係30a對應第一輸入灰階範圍20a,第一輸入灰階範圍20a大致為自該灰階量的0.875倍至該灰階量的1倍,亦即自灰階值224至255;其中,比例'0.875'係約224除 以255,比例'1'係約255除以255。第二亮度調整關係30b對應第三輸入灰階範圍20c,第三輸入灰階範圍20c大致為自該灰階量的0倍至該灰階量的0.125倍,亦即自灰階值0至32;其中,比例'0'係約0除以255,比例'0.125'係約32除以255。In this embodiment, the first brightness adjustment relationship 30a corresponds to the first input gray level range 20a, and the first input gray level range 20a is approximately 0.875 times the gray level quantity to 1 time of the gray level quantity, that is, Gray scale values 224 to 255; wherein the ratio '0.875' is about 224 At 255, the ratio '1' is approximately 255 divided by 255. The second brightness adjustment relationship 30b corresponds to the third input gray level range 20c, and the third input gray level range 20c is substantially from 0 times the gray level quantity to 0.125 times of the gray level quantity, that is, from the gray level value 0 to 32. Wherein the ratio '0' is about 0 divided by 255, and the ratio '0.125' is about 32 divided by 255.
對於第一輸入灰階範圍20a內,任一輸入灰階值(例如灰階值34a)根據第一亮度調整關係30a對應一調整的輸出亮度階值(例如亮度階值34b),並根據原始灰階-亮度關係20對應一原始的輸出亮度階值(例如亮度階值34c)。該調整的輸出亮度階值(即亮度階值34b)小於該原始的輸出亮度階值(即亮度階值34c)。因此,該影像中任何屬於第一輸入灰階範圍20a之部分均將被調整成暗些(亦即沒原始的明亮),此可視為一種白平衡(white equalization)。For the first input grayscale range 20a, any input grayscale value (eg, grayscale value 34a) corresponds to an adjusted output luminance level value (eg, luminance order value 34b) according to the first luminance adjustment relationship 30a, and according to the original gray The order-luminance relationship 20 corresponds to an original output luminance level value (e.g., luminance order value 34c). The adjusted output luminance level value (i.e., luminance order value 34b) is less than the original output luminance level value (i.e., luminance order value 34c). Therefore, any portion of the image that belongs to the first input grayscale range 20a will be adjusted to be darker (ie, no original bright), which can be considered a white equalization.
對於第三輸入灰階範圍20c內,任一輸入灰階值(例如灰階值34d)根據第二亮度調整關係30b對應一調整的輸出亮度階值(例如亮度階值34e),並根據原始灰階-亮度關係20對應一原始的輸出亮度階值(例如亮度階值34f)。該調整的輸出亮度階值(即亮度階值34e)大於該原始的輸出亮度階值(即亮度階值34f)。因此,該影像中任何屬於第三輸入灰階範圍20c之部分均將被調整成亮些(亦即沒原始的暗黑),此可視為一種黑平衡(black equalization)。For the third input grayscale range 20c, any input grayscale value (eg, grayscale value 34d) corresponds to an adjusted output luminance level value (eg, luminance order value 34e) according to the second luminance adjustment relationship 30b, and according to the original gray The order-luminance relationship 20 corresponds to an original output luminance step value (e.g., luminance order value 34f). The adjusted output luminance step value (i.e., luminance order value 34e) is greater than the original output luminance step value (i.e., luminance order value 34f). Therefore, any portion of the image that belongs to the third input grayscale range 20c will be adjusted to be brighter (ie, no original dark), which can be considered as a black equalization.
對於第二輸入灰階範圍20b內,即輸入灰階範圍剩餘的部分,灰階落於此範圍20b內的畫素均不予調整,亦即根據原始灰階-亮度 關係20顯示於顯示裝置12上。另外,於實作上,伽瑪校正可於該方法實施調整前執行,或與該方法之調整一併實施。於後者情形,第一及第二亮度調整關係30a、30b及原始灰階-亮度關係20可整合成單一關係以同時調整(或轉換)該複數個畫素並顯示於顯示面板124上。然而,本發明不以此為限。For the second input gray scale range 20b, that is, the remaining portion of the input gray scale range, the pixels whose gray scale falls within the range 20b are not adjusted, that is, according to the original gray scale-luminance Relationship 20 is displayed on display device 12. In addition, in practice, the gamma correction can be performed before the method is implemented, or can be implemented in conjunction with the adjustment of the method. In the latter case, the first and second brightness adjustment relationships 30a, 30b and the original gray scale-luminance relationship 20 can be integrated into a single relationship to simultaneously adjust (or convert) the plurality of pixels and display them on the display panel 124. However, the invention is not limited thereto.
因此,對於一影像而言,前述黑平衡可使黑暗的部分變得亮些,使得使用者能辨識出該黑暗部分的細節資訊;同樣地,前述白平衡可使明亮的部分變得暗些,使得使用者能辨識出該明亮部分的細節資訊。此有益於使用者進行遊戲,尤其是進行有亮有暗場景的即時戰略遊戲。例如一原始場景如第5圖所示,其包含一黑暗部分(即右側建築物之一破損窗戶)及一明亮部分(即左側建築物之一完整窗戶)。於該原始場景以該方法調整後,該調整的場景如第6圖所示,其顯示有人躲藏於該右側建築物之該破損窗戶處,亦顯示另一人躲藏於該左側建築物之該完整窗戶之後,此影像資訊顯對使用者相當重要。然而,於實際上,若使用者只想以原始影像觀賞電影,基於第一及第二亮度調整關係30a、30b之調整功能可予以關閉。Therefore, for an image, the aforementioned black balance can make the dark portion brighter, so that the user can recognize the detailed information of the dark portion; likewise, the white balance can make the bright portion darker. Allows the user to recognize the details of the bright part. This is good for the user to play the game, especially for real-time strategy games with bright and dark scenes. For example, an original scene, as shown in Figure 5, contains a dark portion (ie, one of the buildings on the right side of the broken window) and a bright portion (ie, a complete window of one of the buildings on the left side). After the original scene is adjusted by the method, the adjusted scene is as shown in FIG. 6, which shows that someone is hiding in the damaged window of the right building, and also shows that the other person is hiding in the complete window of the left building. After that, this image information is very important to the user. However, in practice, if the user only wants to watch the movie in the original image, the adjustment function based on the first and second brightness adjustment relationships 30a, 30b can be turned off.
請回頭參閱第1至第3圖。提供第一及第二亮度調整關係30a、30b之步驟S120可執行一次即供後續影像使用。於實作上,第一及第二亮度調整關係30a、30b可由使用者選擇提供。於本實施例中,步驟S120通常藉由顯示於顯示裝置12之顯示面板124上之一螢幕顯示選單40來執行。於實作上,螢幕顯示選單40係一巢狀結構並 由控制模組122控制以單列方式顯示於顯示裝置12之顯示面板124上,如第7圖所示。螢幕顯示選單40針對該黑平衡及該白平衡分別提供使用者二參數。一白平衡參數加上一黑平衡參數形成一數對,邏輯上,每一數對代表一亮度調整關係。換句話說,步驟S120可藉由自複數個亮度調整關係中選出第一及第二亮度調整關係30a、30b來實施。該複數個亮度調整關係可如第8圖所示,其中每一弧形虛線代表對應第一亮度調整關係30a之一白平衡參數,或代表對應第二亮度調整關係30b之一黑平衡參數。該黑平衡參數及該白平衡參數可個別選擇。Please refer back to Figures 1 to 3. The step S120 of providing the first and second brightness adjustment relationships 30a, 30b can be performed once for subsequent image use. In practice, the first and second brightness adjustment relationships 30a, 30b can be provided by the user. In the embodiment, step S120 is generally performed by a screen display menu 40 displayed on the display panel 124 of the display device 12. In practice, the screen shows that the menu 40 is a nested structure and Displayed by the control module 122 in a single column on the display panel 124 of the display device 12, as shown in FIG. The screen display menu 40 provides user two parameters for the black balance and the white balance, respectively. A white balance parameter plus a black balance parameter forms a pair, logically, each pair represents a brightness adjustment relationship. In other words, step S120 can be implemented by selecting the first and second brightness adjustment relationships 30a, 30b from a plurality of brightness adjustment relationships. The plurality of brightness adjustment relationships may be as shown in FIG. 8, wherein each arc-shaped dotted line represents a white balance parameter corresponding to the first brightness adjustment relationship 30a, or represents a black balance parameter corresponding to the second brightness adjustment relationship 30b. The black balance parameter and the white balance parameter can be individually selected.
於本實施例中,使用者可依需求而直接操作設置於螢幕框126之一控制台面板130(以虛線矩形框表示於第2圖中)或操作輸入裝置14,透過螢幕顯示選單40以選擇第一及第二亮度調整關係30a、30b。於後者,輸入裝置14包含一旋轉件142(例如滾輪)、一確認鍵144(其設置以虛線表示於第2圖中)、一返回鍵146及三切換鍵148a、148b、148c。確認鍵144設置於旋轉件142之下並能藉由按壓旋轉件142而觸發。切換鍵148a、148b、148c可作為熱鍵以對應使用者偏好的顯示參數,其包含針對黑、白平衡之顯示參數。於實作上,該亮度調整關係或/及該選出的顯示參數可儲存於一顯示模式,該顯示模組對應切換鍵148a、148b、148c其中之一,使得切換鍵148a、148b或148c可被觸發以讀取該儲存的顯示模式,以顯示影像。另外,於實作上,輸入裝置14可與顯示裝置12無線連接,此更加便利於使用者使用輸入裝置14。補充說明的是,邏輯上,輸 入裝置14及控制台面板130均屬本發明之輸入裝置之相同概念。兩者間之差異主要在於輸入裝置14係可自顯示裝置12拆離,而控制台面板130則固定於顯示裝置12上。In this embodiment, the user can directly operate one of the console panels 130 (shown in FIG. 2 with a dashed rectangle) or operate the input device 14 to display the menu 40 through the screen display menu 40 as needed. First and second brightness adjustment relationships 30a, 30b. In the latter case, the input device 14 includes a rotary member 142 (e.g., a scroll wheel), a confirmation button 144 (which is shown in phantom in Figure 2), a return button 146, and three switch buttons 148a, 148b, 148c. The confirmation key 144 is disposed under the rotary member 142 and can be triggered by pressing the rotary member 142. Switching keys 148a, 148b, 148c can be used as hot keys to correspond to user-preferred display parameters, including display parameters for black and white balance. In practice, the brightness adjustment relationship or/and the selected display parameter may be stored in a display mode, and the display module corresponds to one of the switch keys 148a, 148b, 148c, so that the switch key 148a, 148b or 148c can be Trigger to read the stored display mode to display the image. Additionally, in practice, the input device 14 can be wirelessly coupled to the display device 12, which facilitates the user's use of the input device 14. In addition, logically, lose Both the incoming device 14 and the console panel 130 are the same concepts of the input device of the present invention. The difference between the two is mainly that the input device 14 can be detached from the display device 12, and the console panel 130 is fixed to the display device 12.
一般而言,調整後的影像通常以基於顯示面板124之規格而定之全螢幕尺寸顯示於顯示裝置12上。然而,基於某種原因,使用者可能偏好以客製化尺寸顯示調整後的影像。因此,於步驟S140之前,該方法可亦包含選擇一顯示尺寸之步驟。於本實施例中,如第9圖所示,螢幕顯示選單40列示複數個顯示參數,其包含一全螢幕顯示參數(以"Full"表示於第9圖中)、一高寬比尺寸顯示參數(以"Aspect"表示於第9圖中)、一原始尺寸顯示參數(以"1:1"表示於第9圖中)及至少一非等高寬比預定尺寸顯示參數,如第9圖所示。該全螢幕顯示參數係用以以全螢幕尺寸顯示,亦即顯示的影像延伸整個顯示面板124。該高寬比尺寸顯示參數係用以以與該輸入影像相同的高寬比中最大的尺寸顯示,亦即顯示的影像的寬度或長度將達到顯示面板124的顯示極限。該原始尺寸顯示參數係用以以與該輸入影像相同的高寬比顯示,例如一640×480畫素之影像以640×480畫素顯示於顯示面板124上。若顯示器1係一24吋顯示器時,則該至少一非等高寬比預定尺寸顯示參數可至少由17"、19"、19"W及22"W組成。此外,可推論的是,以該非等高寬比預定尺寸顯示參數顯示之面積小於以該全螢幕顯示參數顯示之面積。In general, the adjusted image is typically displayed on display device 12 in a full screen size based on the specifications of display panel 124. However, for some reason, the user may prefer to display the adjusted image in a customized size. Therefore, before step S140, the method may also include the step of selecting a display size. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the screen display menu 40 lists a plurality of display parameters including a full screen display parameter (shown as "Full" in FIG. 9), and an aspect ratio size display. Parameters (represented by "Aspect" in Figure 9), an original size display parameter (denoted in Figure 9 with "1:1"), and at least one non-equal aspect ratio predetermined size display parameter, as shown in Figure 9. Shown. The full screen display parameters are displayed in full screen size, that is, the displayed image extends across the display panel 124. The aspect ratio display parameter is used to display the largest of the same aspect ratios as the input image, that is, the width or length of the displayed image will reach the display limit of the display panel 124. The original size display parameter is used to display the same aspect ratio as the input image. For example, a 640×480 pixel image is displayed on the display panel 124 at 640×480 pixels. If the display 1 is a 24-inch display, the at least one unequal aspect ratio predetermined size display parameter may be composed of at least 17", 19", 19"W, and 22"W. Furthermore, it can be inferred that the area of the display parameter display with the unequal aspect ratio is smaller than the area displayed by the full screen display parameter.
補充說明的是,於實作上,該至少一非等高寬比預定尺寸顯示 參數可更包含如21.5"、23"等等,此依顯示面板124支援可容許之顯示面積而定。例如,「22"W」意指影像以如在22吋寬顯示器上顯示影像之尺寸顯示,此22吋寬顯示器係較一般22吋顯示器具有更寬的顯示面積。於實作上,22吋顯示器之實際顯示尺寸因不同製造商而可能有些許差異,但仍使用相同標稱命名。此差異已在本發明考慮之下。前述關於「22"W」之說明亦適用於前述其他顯示尺寸標稱命名,不另贅述。In addition, in practice, the at least one unequal aspect ratio is displayed in a predetermined size. The parameters may further include, for example, 21.5", 23", etc., depending on the display area supported by the display panel 124. For example, "22"W" means that the image is displayed in the size of the image displayed on a 22-inch wide display, which has a wider display area than a typical 22-inch display. In practice, the actual display size of the 22-inch display may vary slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer, but still use the same nominal designation. This difference has been considered in the context of the present invention. The foregoing description of "22"W" also applies to the above-mentioned other display size nominal nomenclature, and will not be further described.
因此,該方法於步驟S140之前自該複數個顯示參數中選擇其中之一,如步驟S160所示。於大部分情形,該全螢幕顯示參數多為預設值,故於實作上,以即時遊戲為例,使用者通常會自該至少一非等高寬比預定尺寸顯示參數中選擇其中之一,使得調整後的影像以該選出的非等高寬比預定尺寸顯示參數顯示於顯示裝置12之顯示面板124上。換句話說,該選出的非等高寬比預定尺寸顯示參數係選自下列群組:17"、19"、19"W及22"W。另外,步驟S140可獨立於步驟S100、S120實施,故於第3圖所示本實施例之流程圖中,步驟S140與步驟S100、S120平行執行;但本發明不以此為限。Therefore, the method selects one of the plurality of display parameters before step S140, as shown in step S160. In most cases, the full screen display parameter is mostly a preset value. Therefore, in practice, in the case of an instant game, the user usually selects one of the at least one unequal aspect ratio predetermined size display parameters. The adjusted image is displayed on the display panel 124 of the display device 12 with the selected unequal aspect ratio predetermined size display parameter. In other words, the selected unequal aspect ratio predetermined size display parameter is selected from the group consisting of 17", 19", 19"W, and 22"W. In addition, step S140 can be implemented independently of steps S100 and S120. Therefore, in the flowchart of this embodiment shown in FIG. 3, step S140 is performed in parallel with steps S100 and S120; however, the present invention is not limited thereto.
此外,補充說明的是,使用者亦可操作輸入裝置14選擇一個顯示參數(即自該至少一非等高寬比預定尺寸顯示參數中選擇其中之一)。關於輸入裝置14操作之其他說明,請參閱前文輸入裝置14之相關說明,於此不再贅述。另外,每一切換鍵148a、148b、148c可對應一個顯示參數。例如,於某一情形,影像以該至少一非等高寬 比預定尺寸顯示參數其中之一顯示,對應另一非等高寬比預定尺寸顯示參數或該全螢幕顯示參數之切換鍵148a、148b或148c可被觸發,使得控制模組122切換以該另一非等高寬比預定尺寸顯示參數或該全螢幕顯示參數顯示調整後的影像於顯示面板124上。In addition, it is additionally noted that the user can also operate the input device 14 to select a display parameter (ie, select one of the at least one unequal aspect ratio predetermined size display parameter). For other descriptions of the operation of the input device 14, please refer to the related description of the input device 14 above, and details are not described herein again. Additionally, each of the toggle keys 148a, 148b, 148c may correspond to a display parameter. For example, in one case, the image is at least one non-equal height A switch key 148a, 148b or 148c corresponding to another non-equal aspect ratio predetermined size display parameter or the full screen display parameter may be triggered, such that the control module 122 switches to the other one of the predetermined size display parameters. The non-equal aspect ratio predetermined size display parameter or the full screen display parameter displays the adjusted image on the display panel 124.
補充說明的是,前述顯示尺寸之參數可能仍無法滿足使用者的需求,故於實作上,即使使用者已選出一顯示參數,仍可進一步動態調整顯示面板124之顯示尺寸之邊界,以滿足其偏好之顯示尺寸,如第10圖所示。於本實施例中,此動態調整可藉由螢幕顯示選單40實施。如第10圖所示,該顯示尺寸係以相同高寬比放大,但本發明不以此為限。例如,該顯示尺寸得以相同高寬比縮小,或藉由調整該邊界之每一側而得以任意高寬比大放或縮小。於實作上,該顯示尺寸之調整邏輯上可視為連續調整,即使是調整的增量或減量為數個畫素或是單一畫素。該邊界調整亦可藉由輸入裝置14或控制台面板130執行。於實作上,若輸入裝置14可提供二維移動控制,例如旋轉件142以一軌跡球實作,輸入裝置14即可視為一滑鼠,此有益於使用者操作輸入裝置14。此時,使用者可滾動該軌跡球以拖曳該邊界。It should be noted that the parameters of the foregoing display size may still not meet the needs of the user. Therefore, in practice, even if the user has selected a display parameter, the boundary of the display size of the display panel 124 can be further dynamically adjusted to meet the requirements. Its preferred display size is shown in Figure 10. In this embodiment, this dynamic adjustment can be implemented by the on-screen display menu 40. As shown in Fig. 10, the display size is enlarged by the same aspect ratio, but the invention is not limited thereto. For example, the display size can be scaled down by the same aspect ratio, or can be scaled up or down by any aspect ratio by adjusting each side of the border. In practice, the adjustment of the display size can be logically regarded as a continuous adjustment, even if the increment or decrement of the adjustment is a number of pixels or a single pixel. This boundary adjustment can also be performed by the input device 14 or the console panel 130. In practice, if the input device 14 can provide two-dimensional motion control, for example, the rotating member 142 is implemented as a trackball, the input device 14 can be regarded as a mouse, which is beneficial for the user to operate the input device 14. At this point, the user can scroll the trackball to drag the boundary.
如前所示,於前述實施例,灰階落於第一輸入灰階範圍20a內的畫素根據第一亮度調整關係30a顯示於顯示面板124上;灰階落於第三輸入灰階範圍20c內的畫素根據第二亮度調整關係30b顯示於顯示面板124上;灰階落於第二輸入灰階範圍20b內的畫素根據 原始灰階-亮度關係20顯示於顯示面板124上。概念上,控制模組122相對於原始灰階-亮度關係20調整灰階落於第一及第三輸入灰階範圍20a、20c內的畫素。於前述實施例,第一及第二亮度調整關係30a、30b分別對應第一及第三輸入灰階範圍20a、20c,亦即高灰階範圍及低灰階範圍,但本發明不以此為限。於實作上,影像可依更多的亮度調整關係調整,或僅依單一亮度調整關係調整。於一實施例中,影像可僅根據第一亮度調整關係30a或第二亮度調整關係30b調整。於另一實施例中,影像可亦根據或僅根據對應一輸入灰階範圍20d(灰階值自112至144)之一亮度調整關係30c調整,如第11圖所示。亮度調整關係30c位於第一及第二亮度調整關係30a、30b之間(參閱第4圖及第8圖)。此外,因應不同目的,對應亮度調整關係30a、30b、30c之弧線輪廓亦不同。對中間的亮度調整關係30c而言,其弧線之一部分位於原始灰階-亮度關係20之上,其弧線之其時部分則位於原始灰階-亮度關係20之下。於本實施例中,如第11圖所示,影像中屬於亮度調整關係30c之部分將調整成更高的對比度,非針對全白或全黑的情形。此調整有益於使用者對該部分影像之可讀性。補充說明的是,於實作上,用於調整影像之亮度調整關係由個案決定,但本發明不以前述各實施例所揭露者為限。As shown in the foregoing embodiment, in the foregoing embodiment, the pixels whose gray scale falls within the first input gray scale range 20a are displayed on the display panel 124 according to the first brightness adjustment relationship 30a; the gray scale falls in the third input gray scale range 20c. The pixels in the display are displayed on the display panel 124 according to the second brightness adjustment relationship 30b; the pixels whose gray scale falls within the second input gray scale range 20b are based on The original grayscale-luminance relationship 20 is displayed on the display panel 124. Conceptually, the control module 122 adjusts the pixels whose grayscale falls within the first and third input grayscale ranges 20a, 20c relative to the original grayscale-luminance relationship 20. In the foregoing embodiment, the first and second brightness adjustment relationships 30a, 30b respectively correspond to the first and third input gray scale ranges 20a, 20c, that is, the high gray scale range and the low gray scale range, but the present invention does not limit. In practice, the image can be adjusted according to more brightness adjustment relationships, or only adjusted according to a single brightness adjustment relationship. In an embodiment, the image may be adjusted based only on the first brightness adjustment relationship 30a or the second brightness adjustment relationship 30b. In another embodiment, the image may also be adjusted according to or only according to one of the brightness adjustment relationships 30c corresponding to an input grayscale range 20d (the grayscale value is from 112 to 144), as shown in FIG. The brightness adjustment relationship 30c is located between the first and second brightness adjustment relationships 30a, 30b (see FIGS. 4 and 8). In addition, the arc profiles corresponding to the brightness adjustment relationships 30a, 30b, 30c are also different for different purposes. For the intermediate brightness adjustment relationship 30c, one of the arcs is located above the original gray-scale relationship 20, and the portion of the arc is below the original gray-brightness relationship 20. In the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 11, the portion of the image belonging to the brightness adjustment relationship 30c will be adjusted to a higher contrast, not for the case of all white or all black. This adjustment is useful for the user to read the part of the image. It should be noted that, in practice, the brightness adjustment relationship for adjusting the image is determined by a case, but the present invention is not limited to those disclosed in the foregoing embodiments.
