Abstract
An electronic device may be provided with a display. The display may be configured to display standard dynamic range image content and high dynamic range image content at the same time. The standard dynamic range image content may include one or more regions of locally boosted contrast in regions adjacent to high dynamic range image highlights. This prevents the appearance of grayish whites in standard dynamic range image content while allowing the high dynamic range highlights to take full advantage of the dynamic range of the display. The size and shape of the regions of locally increased contrast may be based on the size and shape of the high dynamic range highlights, the size of the display, the distance between the user and the display, and/or the percentage of the display that is dedicated to high dynamic range image content.
