Abstract: A method, a computer program code, and an apparatus for processing an image to be displayed by a display device, with a local dimming backlight unit that provides essentially white light is disclosed. The disclosure is further related to a method for manufacturing a display device, a corresponding display device, and a motor vehicle with such a display device. In a first step, an image to be displayed is received. Driving values for light sources of the local dimming backlight unit are then determined based on the image to be displayed. Based on the driving values, a backlight appearance is determined. Pixel values of the image are then adjusted based on the backlight appearance. Information related to white points of the light sources is taken into account in the step of adjusting pixel values of the image, which may be retrieved from a map stored in a memory.
