Abstract
A method includes: (a) receiving initial image frame data to display an image frame on a display panel, a luminance of each pixel of the display corresponding to a gray level; (b) identifying dark pixels at or below a first threshold gray level; (c) identifying pixels to be modified as a subset of the dark pixels neighbored by at least one bright pixel exceeding a second threshold gray level; (d) increasing by an incremental amount the gray level of the pixels to be modified, providing modified image frame data composed of: (i) the dark pixels that are neighbored by at least one bright pixel having gray levels that have been increased by the incremental gray level amount, and (ii) other pixels that have gray levels from the initial image frame data; and (e) displaying the image frame using the modified image frame data.
