Abstract
The invention discloses an apparatus for adjusting an output back light relative to the ith image frame among N image frames of an image sequence inputted to a display system. The apparatus includes an optical sensing module, a memory unit, an image processing module, and a back light module. The optical sensing module is used for sensing a current environmental light. The memory unit is used for storing a look-up table in which a plurality of environmental light values, a plurality of brightness ratios, and a plurality of back light adjusting parameters are recorded. Each of the environmental light values corresponds to the brightness ratios and the back light adjusting parameters, and each of the back light adjusting parameters corresponds to one of the brightness ratios. The image processing module is used for calculating a current brightness ratio relative to the ith image frame and for further determining the back light parameter in accordance with the current environmental light, the current brightness ratio, and the look-up table. The back light module is used for adjusting the output back light in accordance with the back light adjusting parameter.
