- the number of lighting cells in each subfield thus obtained is multiplied by the luminance weight of each subfield and the lighting state of each subfield in the discharge cell B.
- the result of this multiplication is the “calculated value” in the present embodiment.
- the luminance weights of the subfields are sequentially (1, 2, 4,...) From the first SF to the eighth SF, as shown in each column of “luminance weight” of the calculated value 222 in FIG. 8, 16, 32, 64, 128). In this embodiment, lighting is “1” and non-lighting is “0”.

- the “maximum load value” is calculated as follows. For example, when calculating the “maximum load value” in the discharge cell B, all the discharge cells on the line A4-A4 are lit in the same state as the discharge cell B as shown in the lighting state 231 of FIG. Assuming that the number of lighted cells for each subfield is calculated.
- the lighting states of the subfields in the discharge cell B are sequentially (1, 1, 1,...) In order from the first SF to the eighth SF, as shown in each column of the “lighting state of the discharge cell B” of the calculated value 222 in FIG. 1, 1, 1, 0, 0).

For example, in the example indicated by the calculated value 232 in FIG. 10, the total sum of the calculated values is “945”. This sum is the “maximum load value” in the discharge cell B. In the present embodiment, such a calculation is performed on each discharge cell, and a “maximum load value” is obtained for each discharge cell.

- the correction gain in each discharge cell is calculated using the numerical value obtained from the following equation (1).
- the pattern detection unit 63 determines whether or not a loading phenomenon has occurred in the display image, and adjusts the correction gain using the determination result. First, the pattern detection unit 63 determines whether or not the display image includes a symbol in which a loading phenomenon is likely to occur (a symbol in which a loading phenomenon is expected to occur). When it is determined that the display image includes a symbol that is likely to cause a loading phenomenon, it is determined that a loading phenomenon occurs in the display image, and a continuity detection flag that is a signal representing the determination result is set to “1”.
- Correction gain after adjustment Correction gain x Adjustment coefficient Equation (3)
- the correction gain generated in the equation (2) is adjusted, and an adjusted correction gain is generated.
- the maximum value of the adjustment coefficient is “1”, and the minimum value is “0”. Therefore, the magnitude of the corrected correction gain is the correction gain calculated by the equation (2) with the maximum value, and the minimum value is “0”. Then, the post-adjustment correction gain changes between “0” from the correction gain calculated by Expression (2) according to the magnitude of the adjustment coefficient.
- this corrected correction gain is substituted into the following equation (4) to correct the input image signal.
- Output image signal input image signal ⁇ input image signal ⁇ correction gain after adjustment (4)
- the adjusted correction gain corresponding to the change in the design of the display image and the design of the display image is generated, and the display image is loaded using this adjusted correction gain.
- the driving load of the scan electrode 22 and the sustain electrode 23 tends to increase.
- the difference of the drive load between the display electrode pairs 24 tends to become large depending on the design of the display image, and the loading phenomenon tends to occur.
- the “load value” and the “maximum load value” are calculated and used for calculating the correction gain for loading correction.
- the minimum value or the intermediate value may be used as the correction gain of the pixel.
- the pattern detection unit 63 determines whether or not a loading phenomenon occurs in the display image, and generates an adjustment coefficient based on a continuity detection flag representing the determination result. Then, as shown in Expression (3), an adjustment coefficient is multiplied by the correction gain to generate an adjusted correction gain, and loading correction is performed using the adjusted correction gain as shown in Expression (4). .

- the pattern detection unit 63 includes an adjacent pixel correlation determination unit 90, a load value variation determination unit 91, and a continuity determination unit 92.
- the adjacent pixel correlation determining unit 90 compares the gradation values assigned to each discharge cell between adjacent pixels, and determines whether or not the correlation between adjacent pixels is high.
- the load value variation determination unit 91 divides the image display surface of the panel 10 into a plurality of regions, calculates the sum of the load values in each of the plurality of regions based on the load values calculated by the load value calculation unit 61, The load value fluctuation determination is performed by comparing the sum of the load values between the areas to be performed.

To do.
- the delay circuit 126 delays the output of the vertical adjacent pixel correlation determination unit 52 by one pixel.
- the addition circuit 153, the AND gate 154, and the delay circuit 155 constitute a circuit that integrates the signal output from the selection circuit 150 for each line. Specifically, the adding circuit 153 adds the output of the selection circuit 150 and the output of the delay circuit 155 that delays the input signal for one horizontal synchronization period. The addition result output from the adder circuit 153 is input to the delay circuit 155 via the AND gate 154. The adder circuit 153 adds the new output of the selection circuit 150 to the output of the delay circuit 155. By repeating this series of operations, the output of the selection circuit 150 is integrated in the vertical direction for each line.
- the comparison circuit 156 compares the output of the AND gate 154 with the vertical direction continuity determination threshold value. Then, “1” is output when the output of the AND gate 154 is equal to or greater than the vertical continuity determination threshold value, and “0” is output otherwise.
- the number of lines in which pixels having high correlation with adjacent pixels continue is increased as compared with the case where an image other than that is displayed. For this reason, when an image on which the loading phenomenon is likely to occur is displayed on the panel 10, the number of lines in which the horizontal continuity flag is “1” increases compared to when an image other than that is displayed.
- the output of the AND gate 154 continues to increase during that period. Then, at time t3 when the output of the AND gate 154 becomes equal to or higher than the vertical continuity determination threshold, the output of the comparison circuit 156, that is, the continuity detection flag changes from “0” to “1”.
- the selection circuit 161 selects and outputs one of the two input signals based on the continuity detection flag. Specifically, when the continuity detection flag is “1”, “1” is selected, and when the continuity detection flag is “0”, “0” is selected and output. In the following description, the output of the selection circuit 161 is denoted as GD (N).
- the comparison circuit 162 compares the output of the selection circuit 161 with the output GD (N ⁇ 1) of the delay circuit 165. As a result, it is possible to detect whether the continuity detection flag has changed from “0” to “1” or from “1” to “0”. For example, when the continuity detection flag changes from “1” to “0”, the output of the selection circuit 161 becomes “0”, and the output of the selection circuit 161 becomes equal to or less than the output GD (N ⁇ 1) of the delay circuit 165. . When the continuity detection flag changes from “0” to “1”, the output of the selection circuit 161 is “1”, and the output of the selection circuit 161 is equal to or higher than the output GD (N ⁇ 1) of the delay circuit 165. .
- the selection circuit 166 selects and outputs one of the two input signals based on the continuity detection flag. Specifically, when the continuity detection flag is “1”, “0.6” is selected, and when the continuity detection flag is “0”, “0” is selected and output.
- the numerical value “0.6” that is selected when the continuity detection flag is “1” is a numerical value that is set in consideration of the effect of loading correction and the change in luminance that occurs due to the loading correction. It is. However, this numerical value is merely an example in the present embodiment, and it is desirable to set it optimally according to the characteristics of the panel, the specifications of the plasma display apparatus 1, and the like.
- the maximum value detection circuit 167 compares the output Ga (N) of the IIR filter 164 with the output of the selection circuit 166 and selects and outputs the larger one.
- the output of the maximum value detection circuit 167 is output from the adjustment coefficient generation unit 65 to the correction gain adjustment unit 64 as an adjustment coefficient.
- the adjustment coefficient output from the maximum value detection circuit 167 is switched from “0” to “0.6”, and then the IIR filter 164 When the output becomes “0.6” or more, the output of the IIR filter 164 is directly output from the maximum value detection circuit 167 as an adjustment coefficient.
- the above-described “gradual” and “steep” are set by the first filter coefficient Ka and the second filter coefficient Kb used for the IIR filter 164 and the setting value used for the selection circuit 166. can do.

Then, at time t ⁇ b> 2 when the output of the IIR filter 164 becomes larger than the output of the selection circuit 166, the adjustment coefficient output from the maximum value detection circuit 167 is switched from “0.6” to the output of the IIR filter 164.
- the adjustment coefficient After time t2, the adjustment coefficient increases at a rate of change corresponding to the magnitude of the second filter coefficient Kb until the continuity detection flag is “1” or until the adjustment coefficient reaches “1”.
- the IIR filter 164 uses the first filter coefficient Ka, so the output of the IIR filter 164 gradually decreases toward “0” that is the output of the selection circuit 161.
- correction is performed on an image signal in an area where a loading phenomenon is expected to occur, and emission luminance in a display image in the area is reduced. Reduce the loading phenomenon. Therefore, in order to prevent an unnecessary luminance change in the display image, it is desirable to perform loading correction only when displaying an image in which a loading phenomenon is expected to occur. In the present embodiment, it is possible to determine whether or not the display image includes a symbol that is likely to cause a loading phenomenon by appropriately setting each threshold value in the pattern detection unit 63. .

It becomes.
- the “gain value” and the “maximum load value” are calculated for each discharge cell to calculate the correction gain.
- the difference in driving load can be detected with higher accuracy, and the optimum correction gain corresponding to the lighting state of the discharge cell can be calculated. Therefore, it is possible to calculate with high accuracy the correction gain according to the increase in light emission luminance that is expected to occur due to the loading phenomenon, and it is possible to perform loading correction with high accuracy.

- the load value fluctuation determining unit 91 when one area load value fluctuation determining unit 54 is operating, the other area load value fluctuation determining units 54 are not operating.
- the integrated value of 54 is reset for each region, and the output is held for a predetermined period (for example, one horizontal synchronization period), so that the operation equivalent to the operation of the 16 region load value fluctuation determination units 54 can be performed. It can also be realized by one area load value variation determination unit 54.
- the gradation value and the lighting / non-lighting of each subfield are associated with each other in the previous stage.
- the tone value of the image signal may be temporarily replaced with image data using a coding table.
- determining whether or not a loading phenomenon occurs in a display image refers to whether or not a loading phenomenon occurs when an image is displayed on the panel 10 without performing loading correction on the image signal. This does not mean that it is determined whether or not the loading phenomenon has occurred in the display image after the loading correction is performed.

Abstract
Description
図1は、本発明の一実施の形態におけるパネル10の構造を示す分解斜視図である。ガラス製の前面基板21上には、走査電極22と維持電極23とからなる表示電極対24が複数形成されている。そして、走査電極22と維持電極23とを覆うように誘電体層25が形成され、その誘電体層25上に保護層26が形成されている。保護層26は、酸化マグネシウム(MgO)を主成分とする材料で形成されている。
例えば、上述した放電セルBにおける「負荷値」=665、「最大負荷値」=945からは、
(945-665)/945=0.296
という数値を算出することができる。こうして算出した数値に所定の係数(パネルの特性等に応じてあらかじめ定めた係数)を乗算して補正ゲインを算出する。
さらに、本実施の形態では、パターン検出部63において、表示画像におけるローディング現象の発生の有無を判定し、その判定結果を用いて補正ゲインを調整する。パターン検出部63では、まず、ローディング現象が発生しやすい図柄(ローディング現象の発生が予想される図柄)が表示画像に含まれているかどうかを判定する。そして、ローディング現象が発生しやすい図柄が表示画像に含まれていると判定したときは、表示画像にローディング現象が発生すると判定して、その判定結果を表す信号である連続性検出フラグを「1」にする。また、ローディング現象が発生しやすい図柄は表示画像に含まれていないと判定したときは、表示画像にローディング現象が発生しないと判定して、連続性検出フラグを「0」にする。この連続性検出フラグがパターン検出部63から出力されて調整係数発生部65に入力される。調整係数発生部65では、その連続性検出フラグにもとづき調整係数を発生する。そして、補正ゲイン調整部64は、次の式(3)に示すように、その調整係数を式(2)で算出した補正ゲインに乗算する。
こうして、式(2)で発生した補正ゲインを調整し、調整後補正ゲインを発生する。なお、上述したように、調整係数の最大値は「1」であり、最小値は「0」である。したがって、調整後補正ゲインの大きさは、最大値が式(2)で算出した補正ゲインとなり、最小値が「0」となる。そして、調整後補正ゲインは、調整係数の大きさに応じて、式(2)で算出した補正ゲインから「0」の間で変化する。
このようにして、本実施の形態では、表示画像の図柄、および表示画像の図柄の時間的な変化に応じた調整後補正ゲインを発生し、この調整後補正ゲインを用いて表示画像にローディング補正を施す。
したがって、IIRフィルタ164においては、選択回路163から第1のフィルタ係数Kaが出力されているときには、IIRフィルタ164の応答速度は比較的遅くなって出力Ga(N)は比較的緩やかに収束し、選択回路163から第2のフィルタ係数Kbが出力されているときには、IIRフィルタ164の応答速度は比較的速くなって出力Ga(N)は比較的速やかに収束する。
