Abstract

Dynamic range of LCD panel can be dramatically improved by adaptive dimming technique. Adaptive control of LED backlight by input signal can reduce the light leakage of LCD panel and achieve high contrast ratio. An algorithm is proposed to distinguish the input signal and get proper luminance level. For lower cost of LCD panel, white light LED is used to accomplish 2D dimming and get better image performance of LCD.
