  • Patent number: 8355034
    Abstract: A driving method for local dimming of a LCD device includes dividing a frame into a plurality of blocks corresponding to a plurality of dimming blocks of a backlight unit, calculating an average value of each color in a block by analyzing image data of the block and determining, for the block, a local dimming value of each color corresponding to the average value of the color, detecting a maximum value among the average values of respective colors in the block determining a luminance local dimming value corresponding to the maximum value in the block, driving a plurality of LEDs corresponding to the block in the backlight unit on a color basis according to the local dimming value of each color in the block, or a color basis using the same luminance local dimming value according to whether the block is a chromatic color area or an achromatic color area.

  • Publication number: 20100165248
    Abstract: Disclosed are a backlight unit and a liquid crystal display (LCD) device having the same. The backlight unit comprises an optical source for emitting light, a diffusion sheet for diffusing the light incident thereon from the optical source, a first prism sheet for enhancing brightness of the light diffused by the diffusion sheet to be incident thereon by collecting the light to the front side, a second prism sheet for re-collecting the light collected by the first prism sheet to the front side by refraction, and a micro lens film for refracting the light incident thereon from the second prism sheet.
