Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a new method for power level control of a display device and an apparatus for carrying out the method. Classically, the contrast/brightness control and the power management (based on an average power level control) are made independently. These two controls can be contradictory. According to the invention, the power level mode and more particularly the number of sustain pulses within the video frame is selected as a function of the average power level (APL) of the picture to be displayed and the picture control signal representing the desired contrast and/or brightness value.
