Abstract
A method of controlling a luminance of a light source is presented. The method entails generating red, green, blue and white data using red, green and blue data, applying a color weight according to contribution to luminance by each of the red, green, blue and white data to generate pixel luminance data, setting a luminance level of the light source based on the pixel luminance data, determining local information on a pure color block in a frame image by using the pixel luminance data, and adjusting the luminance level of the light source based on the local information on the pure color block. A display device that utilizes such method is also presented.
