Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, basically, when displaying a specific image composed of illustrations with few low-brightness areas, it is difficult to reduce power consumption because the backlight is controlled to a constant brightness.

Embodiment approach

[0054]

[0055] based on figure 1 , the structure of the display unit included in the vehicle device mounted on the vehicle will be described. The display unit 6 is composed of a color filter 1, a liquid crystal layer 2, a TFT (Thin Film Transistor) 3, a backlight 4, and the like.

[0056] The color filter 1 is a film printed with three primary colors (RGB) for each pixel. The liquid crystal layer 2 is a so-called liquid crystal shutter whose molecular alignment changes upon application of an external voltage or the like. TFT3 changes the molecular arrangement of the liquid crystal in the liquid crystal layer 2 corresponding to the target element by controlling the electrodes arranged in a matrix and applying voltage to the matrix-shaped target element, so that the light from the backlight 4 is transmitted to the color filter 1 side thin film transistors. The backlight 4 includes a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes)) 5 as light sources, which a...

Deformed example 1

[0098] In the representative embodiment described above, the outer areas S1 and S2 are defined outside the left and right sides of the navigation guidance area M. However, if Figure 6 As shown, the outer area S3 may be defined only outside one of the left and right sides of the navigation guidance area M. The image analysis unit 14 sets the predetermined outer region S3 as a black image.

[0099] In this case, as Figure 6 As shown, the light quantity determination unit 17 determines to cause the LEDs 5A to 5M corresponding to a certain area M in the car navigation image G3 to emit a certain amount of light. In addition, the light quantity determination unit 17 determines that the LEDs 5N to 5U corresponding to the outer area S3 in the car navigation image G3 are not to emit light.

[0100] In addition, in step SA7, if Figure 6 As shown, the control unit 11 makes the LEDs 5A to 5M corresponding to the fixed area M in the car navigation image G3 emit a certain amount of li...

Deformed example 2

[0103] In the representative embodiment described above, although a certain area of ​​the map image centered on the position mark J of the vehicle is defined as the navigation guide area M, as in Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 2 , an area narrowed so as to accommodate a wider range of map images within a certain range may also be specified as the navigation guidance area M. The image analysis unit 14 thereby defines the navigation guide area M, and defines the outer area S4 and the outer area S5 outside the navigation guide area M.

[0104] In addition, in this case, the image analysis unit 14 may increase the reduction ratio of the navigation guidance area M as the distance from the vehicle position mark J increases.

[0105] Thus, since the own vehicle position marker J displayed as an important display in the navigation image and images in its vicinity are displayed in detail, and the amount of information of images less important than it is reduced, the marker J can be display...

Abstract

The invention provides a display apparatus and a displaying method, specifically to a technology for reducing power consumption of a backlight that illuminates a specific image having few low-brightness areas. In the case where an image to be displayed on a screen is determined to be a specific image including a mark, a backlight is controlled so as to illuminate areas other than an area including a mark in a specific image with less brightness than the brightness of the area including the mark. Thereby, it is possible to reduce power consumption while improving visibility of the specific image for a user.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a technique for displaying a specific image on a screen. Background technique [0002] In recent years, attention has been paid to energy-saving technologies against the background of environmental problems, and display devices such as televisions, portable terminals, personal computers, and car navigation devices using energy-saving technologies have attracted attention. [0003] The energy-saving technology adopted by such a display device includes, for example, a technology for efficiently controlling a backlight to greatly reduce power consumption. [0004] This technique will be described in detail. The display device turns on each of a plurality of LEDs constituting a backlight corresponding to a display area of ​​a display screen according to the brightness of an image. Therefore, the display device can turn off the LEDs corresponding to the darker low-brightness area, thereby reducing its power consumption. S...
