Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A display device with multiple light sources includes a detector that dynamically measures output intensities of the light sources as the light sources are producing light to cause an image to be formed on a display screen. A controller for the display device compares the measured output intensities with desired output intensities determined from factory-calibrated correlation values and adjusts the inputs to the light sources to compensate for drift and other similar effects, so that brightness uniformity among the multiple light sources can be achieved.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A light-based display device, comprising: a display screen; pixels disposed in the display screen; light sources for producing a first light that is conveyed to the pixels, wherein the pixels emit a second light distinct from the first light; a detector positioned on a light source side of the pixels, wherein the detector measures output intensity of the first light produced by one or more of the light sources as correlated to an input current to the one or more…
