An apparatus for controlling a display having a backlight module provided with a first set of units and a display panel provided with a second set of units is provided. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a reference value generator, a control value generator, and a compensation circuit. The reference value generator generates a reference value representative of a portion of pixels contained in an input image associated with one of the second set of units. The control value generator generates a control value to control one of the first set of units in view of the reference value. The compensation circuit adjusts the portion of pixels contained in the input image in view of the control value. The one of the first units is associated with the one of the second units.

Apparatus for controlling a display and method thereof

An image adjusting method for extending vertical blanking intervals of an image signal is provided. Using the image adjusting method, an adjusted image signal is synchronized with an image signal before the adjustment to prevent image delay. The image adjusting method comprises providing a first image signal having a first data enable signal, wherein the first data enable signal has a first data enable duration; and generating a second data enable signal having a second data enable duration. The first and second data enable durations correspond to a same image frame of an image signal, and the second data enable duration substantially overlaps the first data enable duration.
