چکیده
The design of BLU for LCD devices, whose goal is to achieve uniform illumination and high luminance across the LCD surface, requries an assistance of illumination design programs. The goal of this paper is to develop a design and analysis tool to model an efficient BLU. The rendering techniques traditionally used in the field of computer graphics are the usual tools of choice to analyze BLU. An analysis method based on Monte Carlo photon tracing to evaluate the optical performance of BLU is presented. An optimization technique based on direct search method, a simplex method by Nelder and Mead, to achieve an optimal uniform illumination is also discussed.

Ruibo Lu (SID Member) Xiangyi Nie Shin-Tson Wu (SID Fellow) Abstract — The color performance, including color gamut, color shift, and gamma curve, of a multidomain vertical-alignment (MVA) liquid-crystal display (LCD) using an LED backlight are calculated quantitatively. Simulation results indicate that an LED backlight exhibits better angular color uniformity and smaller color shifts than a CC...

In this paper, we propose a convolution filtering scheme for detecting small defects in low-contrast uniform surface images and, especially, focus on the applications for backlight panels and glass substrates found in Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) manufacturing. A defect embedded in a low-contrast surface image shows no distinct intensity from its surrounding region, and even worse, the sensed i...

The pulsed backlight system has been introduced for reducing motion blurs of LCDs in high motion pictures. But applying the pulsed backlight, full screen flicker and inconsistency of transmissivity for entire frame at a lightening time should be considered. This paper discusses the analysis of blurs in high motion pictures and proposes the design method for more suitable display terminal of LCD...
