1. A display comprising:
- a light source comprising a two-dimensional array of light emitting elements each having a controllable light output;
a local dimming modulator comprising a plurality of controllable elements located to modulate light from the light source, each of the plurality of controllable elements having a controllable transmissivity; and
a controller configured to estimate intensities at each of the controllable elements of a pattern of the light produced on the spatial light modulator by the light emitting elements and to control the transmissivities of the controllable elements based at least in part on the estimated intensities.

Abstract
A display has a screen which incorporates a light modulator. The screen may be a front projection screen or a rear-projection screen. The screen is illuminated with light from a light source comprising an array of controllable light-emitters. The controllable-emitters and elements of the light modulator may be controlled to adjust the intensity of light emanating from corresponding areas on the screen. The display may provide a high dynamic range.
