A locally dimmed display has a spatial light modulator illuminated by a light source. The spatial light modulator is illuminated with a low resolution version of a desired image. The illumination may comprise a series of lighting elements that vary smoothly from one element to another at the spatial light modulator.

A display device includes a display panel including pixels; and a timing controller to calculate a grayscale usage ratio of input data and to determine an automatic-current-limit rate based on the grayscale usage ratio, the automatic-current-limit rate representing a power saving rate.

A computing device is disclosed. The computing device includes a light source configured to output light. The computing device also includes a light sensor configured to measure the level of light surrounding the computing device. The computing device further includes a control mechanism operatively coupled to the light source and light sensor and configured to adjust the level of output light based on the measured level of light surrounding the computing device.

To reduce the occurrence of flicker in an image with almost no movement and reduce the occurrence motion blur in an image with movement, an image processing apparatus detects movement information from acquired image data. The image processing apparatus causes a display unit to perform first light emission to display a first frame, and also causes the display unit to perform second light emission to display a second frame, the first frame and the second frame corresponding to one frame of the acquired image data. The image processing apparatus controls at least either light emission time periods of the first light emission and the second light emission or light emission luminances of the first light emission and the second light emission based on the movement information.

A display device includes: a first display unit which is a transmissive display unit; a transparent backlight formed of transparent material, provided relative to the first display unit opposite the viewing surface of the first display unit, and configured to emit light toward the first display unit; a light source configured to output object light to the transparent backlight where light from an object provided opposite the light emission plane of the transparent backlight is output toward the transparent backlight and the first display unit; and a controller configured to control the first display unit, the transparent backlight, and the light source so that light emitted from the transparent backlight shows an image on the first display unit, and so that the object light can pass through the transparent backlight and the first display unit and be output.

An adjustable backlight module comprises an image data gathering device; a user data gathering device; a data analyzing device connected to the image data gathering device and the user data gathering device; a controller connected to the data analyzing device; and a LCD backlight source connected to the controller. Based on the user's demands on the image brightness and color gamut, the present invention utilizes a controller and its driving circuit to control the LED chips of two colors individually for adjusting on and off of the LED chips and the intensity of light, thereby adjusting the brightness and color gamut of the entire module, and thus carrying out effective real-time control of the brightness and color gamut.

Techniques for identifying and discriminating between different types of contacts to a multi-touch touch-screen device are described. Illustrative contact types include fingertips, thumbs, palms and cheeks. By way of example, thumb contacts may be distinguished from fingertip contacts using a patch eccentricity parameter. In addition, by non-linearly deemphasizing pixels in a touch-surface image, a reliable means of distinguishing between large objects (e.g., palms) from smaller objects (e.g., fingertips, thumbs and a stylus) is described.

The light-emitting substrate includes: a base, a plurality of light-emitting components, a plurality of first power supply voltage signal lines, and a plurality of first control circuits. The plurality of light-emitting components are disposed on the base. The plurality of first power supply voltage signal lines are disposed on the base and arranged at intervals. The plurality of first control circuits are disposed on the base. One light-emitting component is located in one light-emitting area. Each of the first control circuits is coupled to a first electrode of one light-emitting component, and each of first power supply voltage signal lines is coupled to at least two first control circuits

Disclosed are various aspects of a μ-LED or a μ-LED array for augmented reality or lighting applications, in particular in the automotive field. The μ-LED is characterized by particularly small dimensions in the range of a few μm.

An image drawing device includes a laser light source controller controlling a laser light output timing of a laser light source unit and an output value of laser light so that a drawing image based on input image data is generated in a scanning region; a scanner controller controlling scanning so that the laser light is scanned with an amplitude; and a characteristic detection controller controlling the scanner controller to scan in a range in which an amplitude of scanning exceeds a scanning range corresponding to an amplitude when the laser light output value is adjusted, control the laser light source controller to output characteristic detection laser light during scanning outside of a range in which the drawing image is generated and beyond the amplitude of the scanning range, and adjust the output value of the laser light based on a detected output value of the characteristic detection laser light.
