Abstract:
The present disclosure provides method and device for dimming the backlight of an LCD. A number of pixels at each grayscale level of an input image is determined. The determined number of pixels at each grayscale level is accumulated to generate an accumulated distribution of the number of pixel and the accumulated distribution is filtered. A threshold grayscale level at which the filtered accumulated distribution exceeds a threshold value is determined. A scaling factor is determined based on the threshold grayscale level. The grayscale level of pixels of the input image having a grayscale level lower than or equal to the threshold grayscale level are up-scaled based on the scaling factor, the grayscale value of pixels of the input image having a grayscale level greater than the threshold grayscale level are set to have a predetermined clipping grayscale level, and the LCD backlight is dimmed based on the scaling factor.
Abstract:
An apparatus generates pixel data in a display. RGB pixel data is received corresponding to a target pixel of an image. A local adaption level is determined for the RGB pixel data representing perceived brightness of the RGB pixel data. The local adaption level is modified to generate a modified local adaption level. A transfer curve is generated based on the modified local adaption level and the transfer curve is applied to the input RGB pixel data. A local dimming value is generated to drive a light source driver of the display based on RGB pixel data for each of the pixels in the local dimming block and RGBW pixel data for each of the pixels in the local dimming block.
Abstract:
A data clipping method and a display device using the same are disclosed. RGBW data is modulated by multiplying clipped data of an input image by a gain, a luminance increment is created based on the result of subtracting the clipped data from the modulated RGB data, and the luminance increment is added to the W data to be written to a W sub-pixel.

Abstract:
A data clipping method using red, green, blue and white data, and a display device using the same are disclosed. Red (R), Green (G), Blue (B), and White (W) data are modulated by multiplying clipped data of an input image by a gain, a luminance increment is created based on the result of subtracting the clipped data from the modulated RGB data, and the luminance increment is added to the W data to be written to a W sub-pixel.
Abstract:
A method of compensating for pixel data includes extending a side portion and a corner portion of a real screen to set an virtual screen, setting dimming values of the virtual screen using dimming values of the real screen, calculating an amount of light of each of pixels on the real screen using the dimming values of the virtual screen mapped to a predetermined analysis area, and multiplying the amount of light of each pixel by a gain of each pixel to modulate pixel data.

An over-driving circuit for a display device having a display panel includes a first 4-color data generation module configured to generate output 4-color data of the previous frame based on 3-color data and a gain of the previous frame, and to generate output 4-color data of the current frame based on 3-color data and a gain of the current frame.
