Abstract
A video processing system is described for providing an image having more than one region on a display (DISPLAY). The system has a control means which can determine, for each region, the type (e.g., graphics, text, computer programs, broadcast TV video, etc.) of the image material being displayed in the region. The system also has a video driver coupled to the display for providing image signals having contrast and brightness characteristics. The control means generates a control signal for causing said video driver means to adjust said contrast and brightness characteristics of said image signals according to the type of material being displayed in said region.
