System and method for providing a wide aspect ratio flat panel display monitor independent white-balance adjustment and gamma correct capabilities
First Claim
1. A flat panel monitor for displaying information originated by a host computer, comprising:
- a controller circuit operable to receive a white balance adjustment control signal, the controller circuit operable to adjust a white balance setting of a display screen of the flat panel monitor displaying a representation of image data in response to the white balance adjustment control signal, the controller circuit operable to adjust the white balance setting without substantially affecting a grayscale resolution of the display screen.

Abstract
A flat panel LCD includes electronic circuitry for coupling to a host computer to receive a white-balance adjustment control signal, and electronic circuitry for receiving image data to be rendered on the flat panel LCD. Further, the flat panel LCD of one embodiment is configured for coupling to a color-sensing device to receive optical characteristics data of the flat panel LCD detected by the color-sensing device. The white balance adjustment mechanisms include the provision of two or more light sources of differing color temperature, whose brightness can be independently varied (and distributed through a light distribution mechanism) to adjust color temperature without altering the grayscale resolution of the RGB colors. The flat panel LCD further includes white balance adjustment software and gamma correction software for generating white-balance adjustment control signals and appropriate gamma correction curves.
