Abstract

An image processing method of backlight illumination control is provided herein. First, an image including a plurality of pixels is received, wherein a first function is a relation between a gray-level value of one of the pixels and a displaying illumination of a backlight. The first function is compared with a characteristic function to obtain the specific function, wherein the characteristic function is a relation between the gray-level value and a predetermined displaying illumination of the backlight, and the specific function is a relation between the gray-level value and a remapped gray-level value. The specific function is utilized to remap the gray-level -value so as to adjust the displaying illumination. Therefore, the present invention enhances the displaying illumination for better visual quality.
