Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008142602A2] A display system (100) includes a screen (110) configured to display an image with a screen brightness; and a processor (120) configured to divide the screen (110) into zones, to determine a zone brightness of each zone, e.g., via real time content analysis of the image displayed in the zone; and to reduce the screen brightness by a factor when the zone brightness of one of the zones is greater than a threshold. The threshold is associated with a maximum rated current drawn from a power supply (140) driving a zone, and each zone may be driven by a respective power supply (140). The processor (120) may also be configured to measure virtual zone brightness of virtual zones which are moved by a predetermined distance across the screen, and reduce the screen brightness by the factor when the virtual zone brightness of one of the virtual zones is greater than the threshold.
