This invention provides an improved digital luminance controlling system, which can control the luminous intensity of an illuminating apparatus by choosing the number of the ignited luminaries. It optimizes the number of the ignited luminaries according to the different contribution rate of each luminary to the general luminous intensity to reduce the power consumption. By properly adjusting the sampling frequency of the luminous intensity of the circumstance, this invention could decrease the operating frequency of the luminance controlling system, thereby to further reduce the power consumption. This invention also provides a analog type of the luminance controlling system, which consists of a optical sensing apparatus, a analog type of the luminance controlling apparatus and a set of optical source and can realize a real time luminance adjustment, to reduce the power consumption.

A system and method for controlling subsections of an LED backlight for a liquid crystal display (LCD). Exemplary embodiments analyze the histograms for each subsection of the LCD which corresponds with the subsections of the LED backlight in order to produce a proper luminance for the backlight subsection. The proper luminance may be less than the maximum or typical luminance that is produced by common LED backlights. By reducing the luminance the resulting display can have less power consumption, longer lifetime, and higher contrast ratios. The original subpixel voltages for the LCD are re-scaled based on the proper luminance for the backlight subsection. Virtual backlight data may be created to simulate the luminance at each subpixel and the virtual backlight data may be used to re-scale the original subpixel voltages. The virtual backlight data may be used to blend between adjacent subsections of the LED backlight which may be producing different levels of luminance.

In a conventional display device using light emitting elements, white color cannot be accurately displayed since the luminance of each sub-pixel varies for each color. Therefore, in order to achieve the uniformity in luminance of each sub-pixel, the amount of current or the current density flowing in light emitting elements is required to be changed for each color. In that case, a power source is necessarily provided for each color, thus an external circuit is increased, leading to increase in the cost and power consumption. According to the invention, a variable channel-size MOS transistor is used as a transistor for driving a light emitting element. When a signal voltage applied to a control gate is controlled for each sub-pixel, the amount of current or the current density flowing in light emitting elements can be adjusted and luminance of each sub-pixel can also be adjusted for each color.
