  • Patent number: 11967291
    Abstract: A display may have a pixel array such as a liquid crystal pixel array. The pixel array may be illuminated by a backlight unit that includes an array of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The backlight unit may determine the type of content in the image data. The backlight unit may decide to prioritize either mitigating halo or mitigating clipping based on the type of content. The determination of the type of content in the image data may be used to determine the brightness values for the LEDs in the LED array. If the content is determined to be a first type of content, at least one given LED in the LED array may have a different brightness value than if the content is determined to be a second, different type of content. Classifying content in the image data may be useful in optimizing visible artifacts such as visible halo and clipping.

  • Publication number: 20140185763
    Abstract: An inspection system included a ray source to emit a ray, a detector to receive the ray, a detection region for placing an object under inspection, and a moving device to move the ray source and the detector around the detection region. Conventional scanning blind zones such as both sides of a human body, both sides of arms and both sides of legs can be completely eliminated. In addition, it is not necessary for a human body under inspection to carry out an action such as turning around to change his or her posture. Therefore, ineffective time can be minimized in the entire detection and a passing rate of persons under inspection can be improved. Furthermore, an inspected person's mental feeling of being controlled due to change of posture can be greatly improved, and his or her mental discomfort and conflicted moods can be reduced.
