摘要
Backlight dimming is a dominant method for power reduction in LCDs. Image processing with a simple boost and clip can compensate for such dimming-restoring image brightness. We propose a low complexity approach which replaces hard clipping with smooth roll-off to reduce clipping artifacts. An additional high-quality approach uses a two-channel spatial-frequency decomposition to preserve highlight detail attenuated by the roll-off. image quality is improved and power savings can be increased by more-aggressive backlight dimming.
