A method (100, 200, 300) for displaying an image on a display having a light source modulation layer and a display modulation layer, the light source modulation layer comprising a spatially modulated light source, the method (100, 200) comprising: receiving a frame of image data; based on the received frame of image data, determining (104, 204, 304) light source modulator control values for driving the spatially modulated light source of the light source modulation layer while displaying the frame; estimating (106, 206), based on the light source modulator control values, a maximum luminance emitted by the light source modulation layer and received at the display modulation layer; setting a minimum luminance to a constant value or estimating, based on the light source modulator control values, a minimum luminance emitted by the light source modulation layer and received at the display modulation layer; extracting (108, 208) a section of a perceptual curve, wherein the perceptual curve provides a mapping between luminance values and index values of luminance levels distinguishable by the Human Visual System for luminance values going beyond at least 200 cd/m 2, wherein the difference between the respective luminance levels of two adjacent index values is a just-noticeable difference for the Human Visual System, and wherein the range of luminance levels of the extracted section extends between the minimum luminance and the maximum luminance; mapping the range of index values in the extracted section of the perceptual curve to an available range of display modulator control values for the display modulation layer to determine (110, 210) a desired-total response curve for the frame of image data, wherein the desired-total response curve provides a mapping between luminance values and display modulator control values; determining display modulator control values for the display modulation layer based at least on the received frame of image data and the desired-total response curve; and displaying the image by outputting the display modulator control values to the display modulation layer and the light source modulator control values to the light source modulation layer. receiving a frame of image data; based on the received frame of image data, determining (104, 204, 304) light source modulator control values for driving the spatially modulated light source of the light source modulation layer while displaying the frame; estimating (106, 206), based on the light source modulator control values, a maximum luminance emitted by the light source modulation layer and received at the display modulation layer; setting a minimum luminance to a constant value or estimating, based on the light source modulator control values, a minimum luminance emitted by the light source modulation layer and received at the display modulation layer; extracting (108, 208) a section of a perceptual curve, wherein the perceptual curve provides a mapping between luminance values and index values of luminance levels distinguishable by the Human Visual System for luminance values going beyond at least 200 cd/m 2, wherein the difference between the respective luminance levels of two adjacent index values is a just-noticeable difference for the Human Visual System, and wherein the range of luminance levels of the extracted section extends between the minimum luminance and the maximum luminance; mapping the range of index values in the extracted section of the perceptual curve to an available range of display modulator control values for the display modulation layer to determine (110, 210) a desired-total response curve for the frame of image data, wherein the desired-total response curve provides a mapping between luminance values and display modulator control values; determining display modulator control values for the display modulation layer based at least on the received frame of image data and the desired-total response curve; and displaying the image by outputting the display modulator control values to the display modulation layer and the light source modulator control values to the light source modulation layer.
