Abstract

See full text

A contrast controller for a liquid-crystal display maximizes the display contrast by using a light sensor to detect ambient light levels and light blocked by the LCD panel. The display contrast is maximized by maximizing the difference between the ambient and blocked light levels. Further contrast maximization is accomplished through variable control of the LCD backlight in accordance with sensed light levels.
