Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A backlight display has improved display characteristics. An image is displayed on the display which includes a liquid crystal material with a light valve. The display receives an image signal and modifies the light for a backlight array and a liquid crystal layer.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A method for displaying an image on a liquid crystal display including a light valve and a backlight array of individually controllable lighting elements, where said display has a leakage value representing the intensity of light that passes through closed liquid crystal elements of said display, said method comprising: (a) receiving an image; (b) modifying said image to provide data to said light valve; (c) modifying said image to provide data to said backlight a…
