Method for processing images in liquid crystal display
First Claim
1. A method for processing images in a liquid crystal display, the method comprising:
- (a) acquiring a backlight index in relation to gray levels of an image;
(b) adjusting a backlight according to the backlight index;
(c) acquiring a reference gray level configured to be compared with the gray levels of the image, wherein the reference gray level varies with a backlight brightness of the adjusted backlight corresponding to the backlight index, and the reference gray level lies in between a first gray level boundary and a second gray level boundary;
(d) transferring a gray level of the image into a corresponding output gray level according to a transferring relationship having a first slope when the gray level of the image lies in between the reference gray level and the first gray level boundary; and
(e) transferring the gray level of the image into another corresponding output gray level according to a linear relationship having a second slope different from the first slope when the gray level of the image lying in between the reference gray level and the second gray level boundary;
wherein the reference gray level is determined by the following equation;

Abstract
A method for processing images in a liquid crystal display is provided. The method includes the steps of: acquiring a backlight index according to an image; adjusting a backlight according to the backlight index; acquiring a reference gray level according to the adjusted backlight, wherein the reference gray level lies in between a first gray level boundary and a second gray level boundary; transferring a gray level of the image into a corresponding output gray level according to the backlight index when the gray level of the image lying in between the reference gray level and the first gray level boundary; and transferring the gray level of the image into another corresponding output gray level according to a linear relationship when the gray level of the image lying in between the reference gray level and the second gray level boundary.

12. A method for processing images in a liquid crystal display, the method comprising:
-
transferring a gray level of an image into a corresponding output gray level according to a transferring relationship having a first slope when the gray level of the image lies in between a reference gray level and one of a lowest gray level and a highest gray level of an image frame; and transferring the gray level of the image into another corresponding output gray level according to a linear relationship having a second slope different from the first slope when the gray level of the image lies in between the reference gray level and the other of the lowest gray level and the highest gray level of the image frame; wherein the variation of the first slope is greater than the variation of the second slope; wherein the reference gray level is determined by the following equation; - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
