Provided are a display apparatus and a method for controlling a backlight. A display apparatus including a backlight partitioned into a plurality of sections according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes: an external brightness measurer measuring and providing front brightness values of the display apparatus corresponding to the sections; an image signal analyzer analyzing an inputted image signal and calculating and providing a brightness influence value of each section by adjacent sections; and a control signal corrector converting a source backlight control signal of each section corresponding to the image signal into an intermediate backlight control signal of each section on the basis of the front brightness values and the brightness influence values of the sections and comparing the intermediate backlight control signal with the previous final backlight control signal to generate the current final backlight control signal.

Display apparatus and method for controlling backlight that can reduce image distortion due to local dimming

A wrapped core linking module for accessing system on chip test includes a link control register that stores link control configuration between cores in a scan path of a system on chip according to control signals applied from an outside boundary. A link control register controller controls a shift and update link configuration by activating the link control register. A switch switches the scan path between wrapped cores based on the link control configuration of the link control register. An output logic connects the link control register to a test data out (TDO) of the chip in case of testing on chip or cores of system on chip.
