Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for correcting burn-in in a flat screen display. The method includes the steps of determining a maximum cumulative luminance of each pixel () within the display () based upon a usage of the pixel, providing a modulation map () of the display () from the maximum cumulative luminance of each pixel () within the display (), transforming the modulation map () based upon the maximum cumulative luminance of groups of adjacent pixels to provide a modulation index for each pixel location of the map (), comparing the modulation indexes with a set of threshold values and adjusting a luminosity of associated pixels () of the display () when the modulation index exceeds the threshold.
