Abstract: A display system providing an enhanced viewing experience is provided. The system enables having backlighting colors fast adapted to the screen content while at the same time also having a relaxed viewing experience because the luminance slowly changes over time. A method and a computer-readable medium are also provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to an ambience lighting system, typically for use in conjunction with a display device. The ambience lighting system may be of the type AmbiLight. The ambience lighting system comprises one or more light sources associated to subregions of the display screen; a content characterizer for determining content characteristics of image data of the subregions; and a controller controlling the color of the emitted ambience light of the one or more light sources in accordance with determined content characteristics of the subregions of the display screen. The subregions are configured to move from a prior position to a next position and the content characterizer and the controller are adapted for controlling the color of the emitted ambience light in accordance with the determined content characteristics of the image data of subregions of the next position. A dynamic ambience lighting is thereby obtained.

Abstract: A system suitable for backlighting is provided. The system comprises a monitor unit configured to monitor an information signal, and to generate a first signal based at least partly on the information comprised in the information signal, a control unit configured to control the reaction time of at least one illumination area capable of emitting properties of light and comprised in the system, based on the first signal, wherein the first signal may comprise scene change information. The system provides for a more peaceful backlighting effect while still being able to stress actions, such as scene changes, happening in the presented information signal. A method and computer-readable medium are also provided.

Abstract: This invention relates to an ambience lighting system for use in conjunction with a display device including an image display region. A central control receives an incoming audio video stream (AVS) and to determines color information at the periphery of the image to be displayed. Light sources are disposed in a pre-fixed arrangement in relation to the periphery of the image display region, and local control units are coupled to open or more light sources selected from the multiple light sources for locally operating the at least one coupled light source. The central control unit is adapted to transmit the determined color information as a stream to each respective local control unit, which use a portion of the received color information to operate the at least one coupled light source, the portion being determined based on the position of the at least one coupled light source within the pre-fixed arrangement.

Abstract: The invention relates to an Ambient illumination system (100), a display device (200), and a method of generating an illumination variation. The ambient illumination system generates the illumination variation using an ambilight signal (A, (A1,1. . . A4,5), P, (P1,1, . . . P4,5)) derived from a video-image (I1, I2), the ambient illumination system comprises an analyzer for deriving the ambilight signals from the video-image and comprises a controller (10) for driving the light source (L1, L2, . . . L8) using the ambilight signal. The illumination variation is displayed by the controller while not displaying the video-image.
