  • Publication number: 20130235009
    Abstract: An adjusting apparatus includes a display, a host, and a luminance sensing device. The host includes a control module, a comparing module, and a storing module. The control module controls the display to display according to a first initial luminance value. The luminance sensing device senses brightness of the display and sends a first current luminance value, corresponding to the brightness, to the comparing module. The comparing module stores the first initial luminance value to the storing module after determining the first current luminance value to match with a first reference luminance value. The control module decreases the first initial luminance value to a second initial luminance value and controls the display to display according to the second initial luminance value.
