A highly versatile interface that is capable of digital and audio signal coupling is provided. The interface comprises contacts () that are used to couple both audio and digital signals, and separate contacts () that are used initiate and negotiate signaling mode transitions. Transitions can be effected without creating glitches, e.g., audible noise, in audio signals that are being coupled through the interface.

Electronic apparatus and system with multi-purpose interface

A display apparatus, a display controller, and a method for optimizing a displayed image for use in an electronic devicecomprising a displayfor presenting a visual image, a processorfor determining the intensity of a backlightused for illuminating the displayand a controllerthat optimizes the visual image corresponding to the intensity of the backlightare described. As the intensity of the backlightis reduced, the brightness of the pixelsis increased to compensate the image when, for example, the backlight intensity is reduced to save power. The method and apparatus are also described for compensating for uneven backlightconditions.
