Area-Focused Luminance Control Backlight for LCD TV applications

  • Published : 2005.07.19

Abstract

In order to improve the image quality of a large size LCD-TV, the Area-Focused Luminance Control (AFLC) technology with data processing algorithm has been developed. The AFLC backlight consists of 16 U-shaped lamps, and controllable areas are divided into 8 blocks. Based on the AFLC technology, the backlight luminance of each block is automatically and separately controllable. Consequently, the contrast ratio is greatly enhanced whereas the corresponding power consumption is decreased as compared with those of conventional backlights.
