Abstract

A display and a backlight compensation method thereof are provided, wherein the display includes a backlight unit and a driving unit, and the backlight compensation method includes: providing a gamma value of the display; performing local dimming of the backlight unit according to the gamma value; obtaining an area peak luminance of each area in the backlight unit; obtaining a windows size of the backlight unit and a corresponding luminance dependency of windows size; obtaining, by the driving unit, a first display luminance corresponding to each area in the backlight unit according to a product of the area peak luminance of each area and the luminance dependency of windows size; and performing luminance compensation in each area of the backlight unit according to the first display luminance. A backlight compensation method that maintains optical quality is achieved, which can maintain brightness and gamma values under different windows sizes.

Claims (21)

1 . A backlight compensation method of a display, the display having a driving unit and a backlight unit, the backlight compensation method comprising:

providing a gamma value of the display;

performing local dimming of the backlight unit according to the gamma value;

obtaining an area peak luminance of each area in the backlight unit;

obtaining a windows size of the backlight unit and a corresponding luminance dependency of windows size;

obtaining, by the driving unit, a first display luminance corresponding to each area in the backlight unit according to a product of the area peak luminance of each area and the luminance dependency of windows size; and

performing luminance compensation in each area of the backlight unit according to the first display luminance.

2 . The backlight compensation method according to claim 1 , wherein the performing the local dimming of the backlight unit according to the gamma value comprises:

normalizing a difference between a black screen grayscale measured value and a white screen grayscale measured value of the backlight unit as a base number, and raising the base number to the power of the gamma value, thereby obtaining a second display luminance of the backlight unit; and

performing the local dimming of the backlight unit based on the second display luminance.

3 . The backlight compensation method according to claim 1 , wherein the gamma value is 2.2.

4 . The backlight compensation method according to claim 1 , wherein the windows size has an inverse relation with the luminance dependency of windows size.

5 . The backlight compensation method according to claim 1 , wherein the windows size is a ratio of a white screen area in the backlight unit to a panel area of the backlight unit.

6 . A display, having a gamma value, the display comprising:

a backlight unit, having first display luminances, a windows size and a corresponding luminance dependency of windows size, the backlight unit having a plurality of areas, and each area having an area peak luminance; and

a driving unit, coupling the backlight unit and calculating the first display luminance according to a product of each of the plurality of area peak luminances and the luminance dependency of windows size;

wherein each of the first display luminances corresponds to each area in the backlight unit.

7 . The display according to claim 6 , wherein the backlight unit further comprises: a black screen grayscale measured value, a white screen grayscale measured value and a second display luminance, and the second display luminance is obtained by normalizing a difference between the black screen grayscale measured value and the white screen grayscale measured value as a base number and raising the base number to the power of the gamma value.

8 . The display according to claim 6 , wherein the gamma value is 2.2.

9 . The display according to claim 6 , wherein the windows size has an inverse relation with the luminance dependency of windows size.

10 . The display according to claim 6 , wherein the windows size is a ratio of a white screen area in the backlight unit to a panel area of the backlight unit.
