Local dimming driving has advantages in reducing power consumption and improving contrast ratio(CR). In an LED backlight unit(BLU), many small LED blocks are implemented in 2-dimmensional space, and luminance of the blocks is controlled by a local dimming algorithm. However, such a BLU can induce various recognizable artifacts. A new novel algorithm is proposed for exact block luminance calculation to correct local dimming artifacts. Also we discuss modified low-gray-level dimming to achieve much aggressive power saving in a local dimming BLU system.

Temperature Compensation Method of Local Dimming LED Backlight System is proposed. The luminance levels of the LED backlight are not stable over temperature and time due to the inherent characteristics of the LED. The characteristics of LED backlight are investigated and a temperature compensation method is presented. The image distortion caused by temperature variation of LED block can be effectively compensated by the proposed temperature compensation method.
