Abstract

The invention is directed to systems, methods and computer program products for backlight compensation processing associated with a display. An exemplary method comprises: receiving data associated with a backlight, the backlight being associated with a display; determining a compensation parameter based on the data; and applying the compensation parameter to the display.

Claims (28)

1 . A method for backlight compensation processing, the method comprising:

receiving, using a computing device processor, data associated with a backlight, the backlight being associated with a display;

determining, using a computing device processor, a compensation parameter based on the data; and

applying, using a computing device processor, the compensation parameter to the display.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving step comprises capturing, during production of the backlight, an image of the backlight.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the compensation parameter comprises at least one of a time-based compensation parameter or a space-based compensation parameter.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the compensation parameter comprises a color compensation parameter.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the compensation parameter comprises an intensity compensation parameter.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the compensation parameter is determined for a single pixel associated with the display.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the compensation parameter is determined for a pixel grid associated with the display, wherein the pixel grid comprises at least two pixels.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the compensation parameter is determined based on interpolating at least one known compensation parameter associated with the pixel grid.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the data or the compensation parameter is stored in a memory associated with the display.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the applying step comprises applying the compensation parameter to an image on the display.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the applying step is further based on accessing primary color data.

12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the applying step is performed in a processing pipeline associated with the display.

13 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the display comprises at least one of a liquid crystal display (LCD), organic light emitting diode display (OLED), or field sequential color (FSC) display.

14 . An apparatus for backlight compensation processing, the apparatus comprising:

a memory;

a processor; and

a module stored in the memory, executable by the processor, and configured to:

receive data associated with a backlight, the backlight being associated with a display;

determine a compensation parameter based on the data; and

apply the compensation parameter to the display.

15 . A computer program product for backlight compensation processing, the computer program product comprising:

a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a set of codes for causing a computer to:

receive data associated with a backlight, the backlight being associated with a display;

determine a compensation parameter based on the data; and

apply the compensation parameter to the display.
