Abstract
A method, includes receiving original image data having a first resolution, dividing the original image data into zones based upon a second resolution, wherein the second resolution corresponds to a resolution of backlight elements, determining a backlight value for each zone, and adjusting the original image data in each block to compensate for the backlight value for each zone to produce compensated image data, wherein adjusting the original image data comprises using the backlight value and an original image data value as indexes into at least one look-up table to acquire compensated image data. An apparatus has a source of original image data, a display panel of individual elements, a backlight of individual lighting elements, at least one look-up table having compensated image data, and a processor to determine a backlight value for each individual lighting element, and adjust the original image data to compensate for the backlight value and produce compensated image data by using the backlight value and an original image data value as indexes into the look-up table.
