Image display apparatus, display unit driver and image display method for the same

An object of the present invention is to provide an image display technology with which high contrast can be stably obtained. In order to achieve the above object, the present invention changes the gain of a digital luminance signal by feeding back information on maximum and average luminance levels of the luminance signal, adjusts image contrast, and in accordance with the average luminance level detected from the feedback system, controls the illuminance of the backlight applied to a display unit. The control increases the illuminance of the backlight when the detected average luminance level is higher than the upper-limit value of a previously set reference range, and reduces the illuminance when the detected average luminance level is lower than the lower-limit value of the reference range.

Indoor illumination system

A lighting system for an indoor room or space is designed to provide a diffuse, glare free source that illuminates the room from the cornice, or a similar location around the join between the walls and ceiling. This may be achieved via a direct source of illumination at the cornice location, or by projecting illumination from a remote source. The lighting system is further designed to allow for illumination of certain areas of the cornice, and hence the room, whilst leaving other parts dark. There are multiple advantages of an adaptable system such as this, but in particular the lighting conditions can be adjusted for optimum lighting levels, for example dimming selected areas when viewing a television.
