Abstract: A pulse-width modulated backlight control for a video display restarts the pulse-width modulated pulse train on occurrence of a video refresh pulse. In order to prevent an undesirable momentary increase in brightness in the event that the last pulse of the pre-refresh pulse train occurs too close to the first pulse of the post-refresh pulse train relative to the normal pulse interval, the width of the first pulse following refresh may be reduced from a first value determined by the desired brightness to a second value that bears the same proportion to the first value that the interval between the beginning of the previous pulse and the occurrence of the refresh pulse bore to the normal pulse interval. In that way, the duty cycle during the shortened pulse interval is the same as during a normal pulse interval, avoiding or minimizing perceptible increase in backlight brightness.

Abstract: The invention describes a method for improving the spatial and off-axis conformance of display systems with respect to an enforced greyscale or color display standard. In the display systems, the native transfer curve is obtained for each pixel or zone of pixels, i.e. as a function of position on the display and as a function of viewing-angle. Once that information is available, an optimal conversion scheme from P-value to DDL can be created for each position on the display and this for all possible viewing-angles. In use, the conversion scheme is used to obtain an improved DICOM behavior. This optimization is also done with respect to the viewing-angle, based on a pre-set, selectable or measured viewing angle.
