  • Publication number: 20080042927
    Abstract: A display apparatus and a method of adjusting brightness thereof. The display apparatus displays an image, and includes a light emitting unit divided into a predetermined number of portion areas, so that brightness is adjusted according to the respective portion areas. A driving unit is connected to the light emitting unit to adjust brightness of each of the portion areas of the light emitting unit. A control unit calculates representative values to be applied in adjusting the brightnesses of the portion areas of the light emitting unit in response to an inputted image signal, compensates the representative values with a contrast enhancement method, and outputs the compensated representative values to the driving unit. The display apparatus adjusts the representative values to be applied for adjusting the brightnesses of the portion areas of a backlight and/or gamma-corrects the inputted image to compensate for increases and decreases in brightness.
