Abstract

The present application provides a an image compensation method for side-emitting backlight comprising steps of: S1, dividing the display screen into several regions; S2, arranging virtual light sources at one side of each region where actual light sources are located for imitating the actual light sources; S3, inputting a pixel value and a coordinate of the point to be compensated; S4, computing a ratio value between an all-full-lighting backlight brightness of the point to be compensated when fully lighted and an all-reduced backlight brightness of the point to be compensated when reduced in brightness; S5, obtaining a compensation factor of the point to be compensated, according to the ratio value; S6, compensating the pixel value of the point to be compensated by using the compensation factor; S7, determining whether all the points to be compensated in the image to be compensated have been compensated or not.
