  • Liquid crystal display system and method
    Patent number: 9805666
    Abstract: A display system (1) for generating a picture in accordance with image information (10) derived from a video signal has a light modulation device (20), an illumination device (30) and a control circuit (40) for driving both devices. The algorithm implemented in the control circuit (40) distributes the image information (10) over the light modulation device (20) and the illumination device (30) in order to minimize the power consumption of the display system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 2, 2007
    Date of Patent: October 31, 2017
    Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.

  • DISPLAY DEVICE WITH A BACKLIGHT
    Publication number: 20090160756
    Abstract: A display device comprises an image display unit (2) configured to display an image, a backlight (6) comprising at least one group of light emitting sources arranged on a substrate (3), said group comprising at least a red, a green, a blue and a white light emitting source, and backlight control means (7). The backlight control means are configured to identify respective specific drive levels of the red, green and blue light sources, select a drive level for the white light source in dependence thereof and generate actual drive levels of the red, green and blue light sources.
