Abstract:

Multi-block gray statistics local dimming algorithm is proposed to automatically control the brightness of the backlight for reducing energy consumption and enhancing the image quality. The large blocks are used to determine the value of backlight matrix and small blocks are to determine the image block brightness. With the use of BMA (Blur-mask approach) to blur the backlight brightness matrix and compensate LCD control signal, local dimming function is realized.The simulation results show that: for pictures, the average backlight power consumption is decreased markedly by 19.9% and the contrast ratio is increased by 53%.
