Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A temperature estimating apparatus, which is provided for a backlight having a plurality of light source blocks each having one light source or a plurality of light sources so that light emission of the light source of each of the light source blocks can be regulated independently, comprises an acquiring unit which acquires a luminance of the light source for each of the light source blocks; a temperature sensor which measures a temperature of at least any one of an internal and external temperature of a casing of the image display apparatus having the backlight; and an estimating unit which estimates a temperature of the light source for each of the light source blocks on the basis of a measured value obtained by the temperature sensor and a luminance value of the light source of each of the light source blocks acquired by the acquiring unit.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A temperature estimating apparatus for a backlight including a plurality of light source blocks each having one light source or a plurality of light sources and in which light emission of the light source of each of the light source blocks can be regulated independently, the temperature estimating apparatus comprising: an acquiring unit which acquires a luminance of the light source for each of the light source blocks; a temperature sensor which measures a…
