Abstract

A display has a spatial light modulator for dynamically controlling a luminance of each pixel according to an input signal, the spatial light modulator having a non-uniform spatial characteristic, the display also having an optical filter having a spatial pattern to alter the luminance to compensate at least partially for the non-uniform spatial characteristic. An electronic signal processing element applies some pre ompensation predominantly of higher spatial frequencies for the non-uniform spatial characteristic. Such dynamic and optical compensation can enable tuning for different optimizations or for compensating for variations over time. A backlight has an optical source and an optical filter, the source having a color output which has a non-uniform spatial characteristic, and the optical filter having a spatial pattern to alter the color to compensate in part at least for the non-uniform spatial characteristic.
