Abstract

An electronic display system having an electronic display with illumination control, wherein illumination control may be based on one or both of the system operating temperature and a light ratio defined as the ratio of ambient light to light emitted by an illumination means of the electronic display. When adjusting the emitted light level of the illumination means, some exemplary system embodiments may consider temperature only, some embodiments may consider light ratio only, and some embodiments may consider both temperature and light ratio. Sensors may be provided to measure system operating temperature, as well as ambient light level and illumination means light output. Illumination control is provided by using a controller to adjust the output of a power source that supplies electrical energy to the illumination means if the temperature and/or light ratio falls outside of an acceptable range.
