The electronic circuitry contains a plurality of drivers, each of which is arranged to individually drive a corresponding one of the plurality of light emitting devices to emit light upon receipt of an actuating signal. A controller is arranged to multiplex an intensity signal to each one of the plurality of drivers for individually driving each one of the plurality of light emitting devices.10-02-2008
20080297460Method of displaying a low dynamic range image in a high dynamic range - A method of increasing the dynamic range of an image comprising a plurality of pixels each having a luminance value within a first luminance dynamic range. The method includes determining a background luminance value for each pixel of the image and determining a minimum and a maximum of the background luminance values. A conversion factor is then determined for each pixel of the image based on the minimum and maximum of the background luminance values. The image id converted from the first luminance dynamic range to a second luminance dynamic range by multiplying the luminance value of each pixel of the image by its conversion factor.12-04-2008
20090122001Method and apparatus for image display with backlight illumination - An LCD display apparatus arranged to display image on an image display surface at an image frame rate of M image frames per second, the apparatus including a backlight arrangement comprising an LED backlight device for providing backlight illumination to said image display surface and a backlight controller for controlling the generation of backlight and intensity distribution of backlight illumination on said image display surface; wherein the backlight controller comprises a processor configured to generate a set of backlight illumination data with reference to the intensity distribution characteristics of the image content of said image frame according to a predetermined relationship, wherein said set of backlight illumination data contains information on the required intensity distribution of backlight on said image display surface for said image frame; and to generate a plurality of backlight illumination frames for each said image frame during the duration of said image frame based on said set of backlight illumination data; wherein the intensity aggregate of said plurality of backlight illumination frames generated during the duration of said image frame is equivalent to the required intensity distribution of backlight on said image display surface for said image frame.05-14-2009
20100046852Digital Image Enhancement - Enhancement of an image includes adjusting its brightness and then adjusting the contrast of the brightness adjusted image. Adjusting the brightness uses an estimation of real world luminance. Contrast adjustment involves extracting background and contrast information, adjusting the contrast information by an adjustment factor based on the background information and combining the background corrected contrast information to obtain an output image.02-25-2010
