Abstract
An LCD display unit for a reflection display system in a motor vehicle includes an LCD pixel matrix for selectively controlling picture elements for presenting a display image on a display area; a backlight arrangement, which is divided into selectively controllable dimming zones in order to illuminate regions containing multiple picture elements with background light; and a control unit, which is configured to control the LCD pixel matrix so that the display image is output, the display image being distorted using a warping function in order to compensate for a distortion of the display image as a result of reflection from a reflection region. The dimming zones have a shape and a size determined by the warping function.
