Abstract
A method for tuning a local dimming function includes measuring a first luminance level of a measurement area of a display panel while the display panel is illuminated with four light sources of a backlight device, the four light sources being arranged in two rows and two columns. The method further includes measuring a second luminance level of the measurement area while the display panel is illuminated with two of the four light sources, the two of the four light sources being arranged in the same row or the same column. The method further includes measuring a third luminance level of the measurement area while the display panel is illuminated with one of the four light sources. The method further includes determining, based on the first, second, and third luminance levels of the measurement area, filter coefficients of a directivity filter used for a local dimming function.
