Apparatus and method for luminance control of liquid crystal display device
First Claim
1. A luminance control apparatus of a liquid crystal display device comprising:
- a liquid crystal display panel;
plurality of lamp units, each lamp unit providing light to a designated area of the liquid crystal display panel;
an arithmetic unit configured to calculate an average peak value of the pixels within each designated area; and
a lamp driver for each of the plurality of lamp units, each lamp driver configured to control the lamp unit providing light to a designated area based on the calculated average peak value for the designated area.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for controlling luminance in an liquid crystal display device includes: a liquid crystal display panel having at least two designated areas; at least two lamp units irradiating light the designated areas of the liquid crystal display panel; an arithmetic unit configured to scan image pixels within each of the designated areas of the liquid crystal display panel, to extract a peak value of the gray level of pixels, and to calculate an average peak value for each designated area; and a lamp driver configured to control the lamp units, irradiating light to each designated area, based on the average peak value.
