For this reason, the frames F1, F3, and F5 having large gradation changes cannot be set as the viewing period.

- LUTs of LUT1-1 and LUT2-1 are prepared separately.
- the right-eye image 1 and the left-eye image 2 may be switched and displayed every three frames, and the period for reaching the gradation to be reached may be made longer. In this case, it is preferable to prepare three LUTs corresponding to three frames.
- the OS parameter for the combination of the input gradation 0 and the output gradation 32 is 191 in the LUT 1-1, as shown in FIG. On the other hand, it is 205 in the LUT 2-1.
- the OS parameter for the combination of the input gradation 160 and the output gradation 96 is 15 in the LUT 1-1, but 0 in the LUT 2-1.
- the LUT 2-1 stores the OS parameter having a higher strength according to the combination of the input gradation and the output gradation.
- the purpose is to set the average brightness of the frame F ⁇ b> 2, for example, by having a value at which the initial gradation and the final gradation of the frame F ⁇ b> 2 sandwich the gradation to be reached, This is because it is substantially equal to the gradation to be reached.
- the first gradation transition emphasis process an emphasis degree is set so that the gradation of the target pixel reaches the gradation that should be reached at the end of the first frame.
- the enhancement level is set so that the gradation of the pixel of interest exceeds the gradation to be reached. For this reason, the first tone transition emphasis process and the next tone transition emphasis process have different enhancement levels.
- the LUT 2-1 prepared for the next gradation transition emphasis process has a third display luminance (gradation) exceeding the display luminance (gradation) to be reached by the luminance (gradation) of the pixel of interest.
- the OS parameter to reach (gradation) is included according to the degree of gradation transition.

- This prediction parameter can also be determined in advance by actual measurement.
- the first prediction parameter acquired by the LUT 1-2 is set to an input gradation when performing the next gradation transition enhancement process using the OS parameter of the LUT 2-1. Further, the next prediction parameter acquired by the LUT 2-2 uses the OS parameter of the LUT 1-1 for the new first frame immediately after the switching between the right eye image 1 and the left eye image 2 is performed. The input gradation is set when the first gradation transition emphasis processing is performed.

- 5 is a graph showing a change in luminance (gradation) of the pixel of interest A belonging to FIG.
- the gradation is switched from 160 to 0.
- the first gradation transition emphasis processing using the OS parameter of the LUT 1-1 is performed. That is, the OS parameter for the combination of the input gradation 160 and the output gradation 0 is changed from LUT1-1 to 0. Therefore, a driving signal corresponding to the gradation 0 is supplied to the pixel of interest A.
- the OS parameter for obtaining the output gradation 0 is 0, it is the same as not performing the gradation transition emphasis processing. This is unavoidable because there is no negative gradation below the output gradation 0.
- the prediction parameter for the same 160 ⁇ 0 combination is 64. That is, when a driving signal corresponding to gradation 0 is supplied to the target pixel A displaying the gradation 160, the gradation of the target pixel A cannot reach gradation 0 at the end of the frame F1, and the gradation 64 is expected to be reached.
- the OS parameter corresponding to the combination of the input gradation 64 and the output gradation 0 is obtained again using the LUT 1-1. That is, from the LUT 1-1, the OS parameter for the combination of 64 ⁇ 0 is 0. Therefore, the driving signal corresponding to the gradation 0 is continuously supplied to the target pixel A.
- the prediction parameter for the 64 ⁇ 0 combination is 27. Therefore, in the first comparative example, when the input gradation other than 0 is changed to the output gradation 0, gradation transition emphasis processing cannot be performed, so that the gradation 0 to be reached is not reached even at the end of the frame F2.
- the parallax area a1 since the parallax area a1 does not become black, it floats up from the black background and is visually recognized in the frame F2.

- FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an output value of the LUT in the gradation transition emphasizing process as the second comparative example.
- the gradation of the pixel A of interest maintains 255, and therefore the OS parameter and the prediction parameter remain unchanged from LUT 1-1 and 1-2.

- the initial gradation is predicted to be 127, and therefore OS parameters for the input gradation 127 and the output gradation 96 are obtained from the LUT 1-1 by interpolation.
- Prediction parameters for the input gradation 127 and the output gradation 96 are obtained as LUT1-2 to 96. That the prediction parameter is 96 means that the gradation of the target pixel A reaches 96 at the end of the frame “left 2” by the gradation transition emphasis process using the OS parameter 46.
- the gradation of the pixel of interest A in the period from the start to the end of the frame “left 2” is larger than 96. Therefore, since the gradation of the pixel of interest A is larger than the background gradation 96 of the frame “left 2”, the parallax region is lifted from the background and is visually recognized.
- the OS parameter is used in the first frame.
- a symmetrical object gradation ⁇ as a first display luminance for displaying a stereoscopic display object and a background floor as a second display luminance for displaying a background image.
- the lowest gradation common to the tone ⁇ is set to a predetermined gradation other than 0. That is, the symmetrical object gradation ⁇ is 160, the background gradation ⁇ is 32, and the gradation 32 is the lowest gradation.
- the grounds for setting gradation 32 as the lowest gradation can be explained from LUT1-2 and LUT2-2.
- the lowest gradation is assumed to be 0, the gradation predicted to reach the gradation of the target pixel exceeds 0 in both LUT1-2 and LUT2-2.
- crosstalk always occurs when an attempt is made to transition from a gradation other than 0 to 0. Therefore, 32, which is the second lowest gradation set in LUT1-2 and LUT2-2, is selected as the lowest gradation.
- the minimum gradation is not limited to 32 and can be set to a predetermined gradation other than 0.
- setting the minimum gradation to a predetermined gradation other than 0 means that the background image cannot be displayed in black, and the background image is displayed in black slightly close to gray.
- crosstalk that is more noticeable in a blackish display than in a whitish display can be suppressed, so that the effect of improving the display quality of a stereoscopic image is great. More specific description will be given below.

- the prediction parameter for the combination of 64 ⁇ 32 is gradation 30 below gradation 32 to be reached.
- the initial gradation x (predicted gradation) of the frame F2 is 64
- the final gradation of the frame F2 is 30, so that the frame F2 (viewing period) Becomes the gradation 32 to be reached.

- the present invention sets a minimum gradation to a predetermined gradation other than 0. It is not limited to.
- the prediction parameter for the same 30 ⁇ 160 combination is obtained as 160 by interpolation calculation. That is, for the combination of 30 ⁇ 160, the gradation of the pixel A of interest becomes the gradation 160 to be reached only by performing the first gradation transition emphasis process using the OS parameter 230.
- the OS parameter for the combination of the input gradation 160 and the output gradation 160 is stored as 160, and the OS parameter is set so that unnecessary gradation transition enhancement processing is not performed. Is set.

図3Aは、背景画像中に立体表示対象物の右眼用画像1と左眼用画像2とを、画像表示面3に表示する様子を模式的に示す説明図である。上記右眼用画像1と左眼用画像2とは、観察者が立体映像を視認するための視差に対応して表示されるため、右眼用画像1の輪郭の表示位置と左眼用画像2の輪郭の表示位置とは、視差に対応して異なっている。
そうすると、クロストークの発生を抑制するには、少なくとも、観察者に立体映像を視認させる視認期間中に、視差領域に属する着目画素の輝度を、上記の到達すべき表示輝度に到達させることが重要となる。
ここで、視認期間について説明しておく。右眼用画像1と左眼用画像2とによって、観察者に立体表示対象物を高品位で立体視させるには、右眼用画像1と左眼用画像2とを完全に分離して、観察者に視覚させなければならない。
(1)OSパラメータ用ルックアップテーブル
階調遷移強調処理を行う場合、オーバーシュート(OS)パラメータを入力階調(縦軸)と出力階調(横軸)とに対応付けて格納したルックアップテーブル(LUT)を用意するのが一般的である。入力階調と出力階調の組み合わせによって異なる複数の演算式を用意し、階調遷移強調処理を行う度にOSパラメータをリアルタイムの演算で求めてもよいが、LUTを用いた方が、制御部の負荷が軽くなり、かつ高速処理が可能になる。
LUT1-1とLUT2-1とでは、格納されているOSパラメータが、入力階調と出力階調との組み合わせに応じて、一部異なっている。
前述のように、「切り替え直後以外のフレームの始期から次の切り替えまでの期間における着目画素の平均輝度が、到達すべき表示輝度に実質的に等しくなる」または「視認期間における着目画素の平均輝度が、到達すべき表示輝度に実質的に等しくなる」ことが本発明の目標である。
後で説明する本発明の階調遷移強調処理の効果を理解し易くするために、第1の比較例としての階調遷移強調処理について具体的に説明する。
図5は、第2の比較例としての階調遷移強調処理におけるLUTの出力値を示す図である。
次に、本発明による上記最初の階調遷移強調処理および次の階調遷移強調処理について、具体例を挙げて説明する。
次に、左眼用画像2が右眼用画像1に切り換わった直後のフレームF3では、フレームF2の終期の階調30がスタート階調になる。したがって、フレームF3について最初の階調遷移強調処理を行うためのOSパラメータを、LUT1-1を用いて30→160の組み合わせに対して求めると、補間演算によって230として求まる。
図6は、図5の第2の比較例と同じ階調の切り換えを行う場合に、本発明の階調遷移強調処理におけるLUTの出力値を示す図である。
以上説明した本発明の立体映像表示方法を実施する立体映像表示装置について、以下説明する。
