Abstract

An electronic device may be provided with a display. A content generator may generate frames of image data to be displayed on the display. Control circuitry in the electronic device may be used in implementing a tone mapping engine. The tone mapping engine may display content from the content generator on the display in accordance with a content-luminance-to-display luminance mapping. The content-luminance-to-display-luminance mapping is characterized by tone mapping parameters such as a black level, a reference white level, and a specular white level. The tone mapping engine may adjust the tone mapping parameters based on ambient light levels, user brightness settings, content statistics, and display characteristics.
