Abstract: A liquid crystal display includes a signal controller having a luminance
controller receiving image data from an external graphic source and controlling the
luminance of the image data such that the luminance at the gray expressed by a
specific data value of the image data is established to be 80cd/m 2 , and a gamma
converter outputting image data each having a gamma characteristic adapted to the
gamma 2.2 curve. The liquid crystal display further includes a data driver receiving
the image data from the signal controller and selecting and outputting gray voltages
corresponding to the image data, and an inverter controlling a lamp such that the lamp
emits light with a luminance of 80cd/m 2  or more. With the liquid crystal display, the
luminance of a backlight is determined to be a specific value larger than 80cd/m 2 , and
the luminance of the input image data is controlled such that the luminance of the
image data at the specific data value is established to be 80cd/m 2 . Furthermore, the
gamma characteristic of the image data RGB is converted to be adapted to the gamma
2.2 curve required for the sRGB color space. In this way, the sRGB mode is realized
with the liquid crystal display.

Abstract: An individual with a hearing loss often experiences at least two distinct problems: 1) the
hearing loss itself i.e. an increase in hearing threshold level, and 2) a signal-to-noise ratio
loss (SNR loss) i.e. a loss of ability to understand high level speech in noise as compared
to normal hearing individuals. According to one aspect of the present invention, this
problem is solved by selecting parameter values of a noise reduction algorithm or
algorithms based on the individual user's SNR loss. Thereby, a degree of
restoration/improvement of the SNR of noise-contaminated input signals of the hearing
prosthesis has been made dependent on user specific loss data. According to another
aspect of the present invention, a hearing prosthesis capable of controlling parameters of
a noise reduction algorithms in dependence on the user's current listening environment as
recognized and indicated by the environmental classifier has been provided.
