VARIABLE BACKLIGHT CONTROL FOR BEZEL
First Claim
1. A method of dynamically controlling backlighting of a light-transmissive bezel of a display device, comprising:
- receiving a color control signal by a processor and control element of the display device;
the processor and control element of the display device generating from the received color control signal a backlighting control signal and transmitting the backlighting control signal to the backlighting element of the display device;
the backlighting element generating a backlighting color to illuminate the light-transmissive bezel in accordance with the received backlighting control signal, wherein the backlighting control signal adaptively controls the duration of the backlighting color as determined by the color control signal received by the processor and control element.

Abstract
A method and system provide for dynamic control of backlighting of a light-transmissive bezel of a display device. A color control signal is received and processed by a processor and control element of the display device to generate a backlighting control signal and transmit the backlighting control signal to the backlighting element of the display device. The backlighting element generates a backlighting color to illuminate the light-transmissive bezel in accordance with the received backlighting control signal; the backlighting control signal adaptively controls the type and the duration of the backlighting color as determined by the color control signal received by the processor and control element.
