Abstract
An apparatus for controlling liquid crystal display brightness includes: a subarea image grayscale determining section configured to determine image grayscale values of subarea image data blocks corresponding to backlight subareas according to a received image signal; a subarea backlight value pre-obtaining section configured to pre-obtain subarea backlight values corresponding to the subarea image data blocks according to the image grayscale values of the subarea image data blocks; a subarea backlight value gain section configured to multiply the pre-obtained subarea backlight values with a preset backlight value gain coefficient to obtain gained backlight values of the backlight subareas, wherein the preset backlight value gain coefficient is more than 1; and a subarea backlight value outputting section configured to output the respective gained subarea backlight values to driver circuits of backlight sources in the corresponding backlight subareas to control the brightness of the backlight sources in the corresponding backlight subareas as a result of driving.
