  • MULTIPLE LIGHT SENSORS AND ALGORITHMS FOR LUMINANCE CONTROL OF MOBILE DISPLAY DEVICES
    Publication number: 20080078921
    Abstract: In a method of controlling a lighting unit of a display, a maximum value of ambient light intensity is determined (156). Ambient light intensity is sensed (154) from a first direction relative to the display and from a second direction, different from the first direction, relative to the display. The lighting unit is driven so that light from the lighting unit has a low intensity (172) when the maximum value is less than a first intensity threshold and so that light from the lighting unit has a high intensity, greater than the low intensity, when the maximum value is greater than a second intensity threshold.
