[0032] Hereinafter, the color conversion method of the present invention will be described more clearly, which cooperates with the first backlight source and the second backlight source to be turned on in turn to display the colors in the mixed color gamut. Please refer to Image 6 versus Figure 7 , Image 6 Is a block diagram of the arithmetic unit of the first embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7 It is a flowchart of the color conversion method according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Such as Image 6 As shown, the calculator 104 includes a saturation calculator 140, a hue angle calculator 142, and a color calculator 144. Among them, the saturation calculator 140, the hue angle calculator 142, and the color calculator 144 are composed of at least one adder, at least one subtractor, at least one multiplier, or at least one divider, and are used to compare the input color The signal 112 performs operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division. Such as Figure 7 As shown, the color conversion method of this embodiment includes the following steps:
[0033] Step S220: Receive a color signal 112;
[0034] Step S230: Perform a saturation calculation step, use a saturation calculator 140 to obtain a saturation value of the color signal 112, and perform a hue angle weight calculation step to obtain the color signal 112 corresponding to a first look-up table A hue angle weight value and the color signal 112 correspond to a second hue angle weight value of a second look-up table; and
[0035] Step S240: Perform a color calculation step, using the color calculator 142 to convert the color signal 112 into a first color output signal 114 according to the saturation value and the first hue angle weight value, and according to the saturation value and the second hue angle The weight value converts the color signal 112 into a second color output signal 116.
[0036] In step S220, the color signal 112 received in this embodiment includes a first primary color grayscale value 146, a second primary color grayscale value 148, and a third primary color grayscale value 150, and the first primary color of this embodiment The grayscale value 146, the second primary color grayscale value 148, and the third primary color grayscale value 150 are based on the red grayscale value 146, the green grayscale value 148, and the blue grayscale value 150 respectively, but are not limited thereto. The grayscale value of the first primary color, the grayscale value of the second primary color, and the grayscale value of the third primary color can also be other colors, for example: the grayscale value of the first primary color, the grayscale value of the second primary color, and the grayscale value of the third primary color are respectively yellow , Magenta and cyan.
[0037] In step S230, the saturation calculation step is to calculate the saturation value of the color signal 112 according to a saturation calculation formula w=1-(min/max), and use the saturation calculator to calculate the saturation value of the color signal 112, where w is the saturation value, min Is the smallest of the red grayscale value 146, the green grayscale value 148, and the blue grayscale value 150, and max is the red grayscale value 146, the green grayscale value 148, and the blue grayscale value 150 The value of the largest one. For example: when the input combination of red gray scale value 146, green gray scale value 148 and blue gray scale value 150 is (255, 0, 0), the maximum value is red gray scale value 146, and its value is 255 , And the minimum value is the green grayscale value 148 or the blue grayscale value 150. Its value is 0, so the saturation value w can be calculated as 1. When the input red grayscale value 146, green grayscale value 148 and blue When the combination of color gray scale value 150 is (255, 253, 200), the maximum value is red gray scale value 146, its value is 255, and the minimum value is blue gray scale value 150, and its value is 200, so The saturation value w can be calculated as 0.2157.

[0040] Step S234: Perform a table lookup step, look up a first hue angle weight value corresponding to the hue angle from a first look-up table (LUT), and look up a second hue angle corresponding to the hue angle from a second lookup table Hue angle weight value.
[0041] Please refer to Picture 9 , Picture 9 It is a list of calculation formulas for hue angle of the present invention. Such as Picture 9 As shown by the hue angle H (×60), in step S232, the hue angle of this embodiment is calculated according to the definition of the HSV space, but it is not limited to this, and different color spaces can also be used for calculation. The hue angle calculation step is to first determine the magnitude relationship between the red grayscale value 146, the green grayscale value 148, and the blue grayscale value 150 to distinguish them into a maximum value, an intermediate value, and a minimum value. Then, calculate according to a hue angle formula H=θ+60×((median value-minimum value)/(maximum value-minimum value)), where H is the hue angle, when the red grayscale value 146≥green grayscale value When 148 ≥ blue gray scale value 150, θ is 0 degrees, when green gray scale value 148> red gray scale value 146 ≥ blue gray scale value 150, θ is 60 degrees, when green gray scale value 148≥ In the case of blue gray scale value 150> red gray scale value 146, θ is 120 degrees, when blue gray scale value 150> green gray scale value 148> red gray scale value 146, θ is 180 degrees , When the blue grayscale value 150>red grayscale value 146≥green grayscale value 148, θ is 240 degrees, when the red grayscale value 146≥blue grayscale value 150>green grayscale value 148, then θ is 300 degrees. The hue angle formula of the present invention is not limited to the above formula, and other hue angle formulas can also be used to calculate the hue angle of the color according to the concept that the color and the hue angle in the HSV space have a corresponding relationship.
[0042] In addition, such as Picture 9 The hue angle H(×64) field shows that in order to facilitate the use of circuit components, the calculation ratio of the hue angle can be further converted from 60 to 64, and the hue angle formula can be converted to H=θ+64×((intermediate value -Minimum value)/(Maximum value-Minimum value)), and convert θ to 60 degrees, 120 degrees, 180 degrees, 240 degrees, and 300 degrees to 64 degrees, 128 degrees, 192 degrees, 256 degrees and 320 degrees, to help circuit components can be further processed in binary.
[0043] In addition, in step 234, the first look-up table and the second look-up table are calculated based on the first color gamut of the first backlight source and the second color gamut of the second backlight source. Please refer to Figure 10 to Figure 12 , Picture 10 Is a schematic diagram of the hue angle between the end point of the first color gamut and the end point of the second color gamut according to the first embodiment of the present invention, Picture 11 Is the first lookup table of the first embodiment of the present invention, Picture 12 It is the second lookup table of the first embodiment of the present invention. Such as Picture 10 As shown, the hue angles of the endpoints R1, G1, and B1 of the first color gamut of this embodiment are 0, 120, and 240, respectively, and the hue angles of the endpoints R2, G2, and B2 of the second color gamut are 0, 130, and 130, respectively. 210. Such as Picture 11 versus Picture 12 As shown, in order to use the colors in the first color gamut 134 and the colors in the second color gamut 136 to mix into the colors in the mixed color gamut 138, the first look-up table 164 and the second look-up table 166 of this embodiment can be based on The hue angles of the first color gamut 134 and the second color gamut 136 are calculated, and the first look-up table 164 represents the relationship between the weight value of the first hue angle and the hue angle, and the second look-up table 166 represents the second hue angle. The relationship between the weight value and the hue angle. However, the first lookup table 164 and the second lookup table 166 of the present invention are not limited to Picture 11 versus Picture 12.
[0044] Please continue to refer Image 6 versus Figure 7. In step 240, the color calculation step is based on a first color calculation formula RGB 1 =RGB-w×k 1 ×RGB and a second color calculation formula RGB 2 =RGB-w×k 2 ×RGB to perform operations, where RGB 1 Output signal 114 for the first color, RGB 2 Is the second color output signal 116, RGB is the color signal 112, w is the saturation value, k 1 Is the weight value of the first hue angle, and k 2 Is the second hue angle weight value. In addition, in step 240, the red grayscale value 146, the green grayscale value 148 and the blue grayscale value 150 of the color signal 112 are respectively converted into a first color output signal 114 by the first color calculation formula. The red output grayscale value 152, a first green output grayscale value 154, and a first blue output grayscale value 156 are respectively converted into a second red color of the second color output signal 116 by the second color calculation formula The output grayscale value 158, a second green output grayscale value 160, and a second blue output grayscale value 162.
[0045] It can be seen from the above that this embodiment calculates the saturation value of the color signal and the weight value of the di-hue angle, and then converts the color signal into two color output signals corresponding to the two backlight sources, thereby cooperating with the backlight sources to be turned on in turn To enhance the color gamut of the color display, and then display richer colors. Compared with known signals that convert grayscale signals to XYZ color space, the present invention can achieve the effect of multiple primary colors only by the saturation calculator, hue angle calculator, and color calculator with two backlight sources, thereby avoiding Additional arithmetic units are consumed for matrix operations. In addition, the present invention also only needs to provide three color filters in a single pixel, which can avoid increasing the complexity and extra cost of manufacturing color filters. It is worth noting that the present invention is not limited to using only two backlight sources, and is not limited to only calculating two color output signals, and multiple backlight sources can also be used to calculate multiple color output signals to provide more color.
