US Patent 7750887 Displays with large dynamic range

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.
