1. A method, comprising:
- receiving a video data signal comprising video data;
calculating for each field of a frame set by a display a grey level for expanding a grey dynamic range of the display for displaying said video data for a reduced number of primary colors in said display using a predetermined criterion; and
providing said grey level for said each field by varying an amplitude or a subfield composition of a display driving signal and by varying a fluence of simultaneously lit backlight sources corresponding to selected two or more primary colors of said display.

Abstract
The specification and drawings present a new method, apparatus and software product for increasing a grey dynamic range of a display for displaying video data by providing a grey level, calculated for a reduced number of primary colors using a predetermined criterion, for each field of a frame set by the display by varying an amplitude or a subfield composition of a display driving signal and by varying a fluence of simultaneously lit backlight sources (e.g., LEDs) corresponding to selected two or more primary colors of the display. Thus, grey level resolution of the display can be increased to match the higher grey level resolution of the video data provided to the display.

13. An electronic device, comprising:
a controller, configured to receive a video data signal comprising video data for a display, configured to calculate for each field of fields of a frame for primary colors a grey level for expanding a grey dynamic range of said display for displaying said video data for a reduced number of primary colors in said display using a predetermined criterion, and configured to provide said grey level for said each field by varying an amplitude or a subfield composition of a display driving signal and by varying a fluence of simultaneously lit selected two or more primary colors using backlight sources of said display. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 27, 28)

25. An electronic device, comprising:
-
means for defining fields of a frame for primary colors; and means for controlling, for receiving a video data signal comprising video data for a display, for calculating for each field of said fields a grey level for expanding a grey dynamic range of said display for displaying said video data for a reduced number of primary colors in said display using a predetermined criterion, and for providing said grey level for said each field by varying an amplitude or a subfield composition of a display driving signal and by varying a fluence of simultaneously lit selected two or more primary colors using backlight sources of said display. - View Dependent Claims (26)
