Patent ID: 8629830

Claim:
A system comprising one or more integrated circuits, wherein the one or more integrated circuits comprise include: intensity calculation logic configured to determine an intensity setting of a light source on a frame-by-frame basis for video image data, wherein the intensity setting for the video image data corresponding to a first video image is based on a brightness setting and brightness information contained in the video data corresponding to the first video image, and wherein the light source is configured to illuminate an entire display that is configured to display a visual representation of the video image data; and delay logic configured to delay the intensity setting of the light source to synchronize the intensity setting of the light source corresponding to the first video image with the display of a visual representation of the video image data corresponding to the first video image, wherein the video image data corresponding to the first video image is output separately from the delayed intensity setting of the light source, wherein the delay of the intensity setting of the light source is at least as long as a time interval associated with the first video image.
