Liquid crystal displays have two shortcomings of low CR and power efficiency. Dynamic dimming can help LCD to achieve high contrast ratio and reduce power consumption. Aimed at main-stream backlight products
the paper proposes a global dimming algorithm. The dimming level of the backlight and S-shaped curve are determined based on the characteristic parameters of an input image. The pixels with higher grayscales become brighter and the pixels with smaller grayscales become darker
which improves contrast efficiently.The engineering prototype is developed. When displaying the video consisting different contents common on TVs
the average power reduction ratio reaches 17%. There are no human perceived distortions.
