Abstract

System(s) and method(s) are provided for regulation of gamma characteristic of a display having solid-state-based backlight illumination. Regulation of the gamma characteristic can be accomplished at least in part through synchronization of data writing to a set of pixels in a display within a video frame with backlight illumination of a region of the display during a predetermined period, wherein the region is spanned by the set of pixels. Collection of data indicative of illumination intensity of light to be emitted in a region of a backlight source of the display during the predetermined period enables determination of at least one gamma value and at least one gamma reference voltage related to the at least one gamma value. Application of the at least one gamma reference voltage to the set of pixels adjusts the gamma characteristic thereof within the video frame.
