An adaptive dimming technique is examined for an LCTV in which horizontally aligned eight parallel backlight lamps are provided. The lamps are optically isolated one another and can be dimmed independently depending on the TV signal. The optical isolations are found to be especially effective to relatively dark pictures having few bright spots. The backlight power for the sample pictures with APL ranging from 0.8% to 40% can be reduced to 20% -65% by adopting the dimming technique.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
