Patent ID: 8217960

Claim:
A device for adjusting video luminance, comprising: a color flag generating module for transforming a plurality of color signals into a plurality of color flags; a luminance adjustment value calculating module for calculating a luminance adjustment output value according to a plurality of luminance adjustment input values of different colors and the plurality of color flags; and a luminance output module for applying the luminance adjustment output value to a luminance input signal so as to generate a luminance output signal; wherein the color flag generating module generates the plurality of color flags according to most signification bits (MSBs) of the color signals; wherein the luminance adjustment value calculating module comprises: a multiplexer for outputting at least one of the plurality of luminance adjustment input values according to the plurality of color flags; and an interpolation circuit for generating the luminance adjustment output value according to the at least one luminance adjustment input value and least signification bits (LSBs) of the color signals; wherein the MSBs include at least one bit selected from the color signals, the LSBs include all the rest bits of the color signals not selected by the MSBs, and a sum of bit number of the MSBs and LSBs is equal to that of the color signals.
