A screen in F.lux's "darkroom mode" On installation, the user can choose a location based on geographic coordinates, a ZIP code, or the name of a location. The program then automatically calibrates the device display's color temperature to account for time of day, based on sunrise and sunset at the chosen location. At sunset, it will gradually ...

The exact refresh rate necessary to prevent the perception of flicker varies greatly based on the viewing environment. In a completely dark room, a sufficiently dim display can run as low as 30 Hz without visible flicker. [citation needed] At normal room and TV brightness this same display rate would produce flicker so severe as to be unwatchable.
This is because even in the "off" state, black pixels still allow some light from the backlight through. Some LED-backlit LCDs use local dimming zones to increase contrast between bright and dim areas of the display, but this can result in a "blooming" or "halo" effect on dark pixels in or adjacent to an illuminated zone.

A common dual dimmer module used in stage lighting A dimmer. A dimmer is a device connected to a light fixture and used to lower the brightness of the light.By changing the voltage waveform applied to the lamp, it is possible to lower the intensity of the light output.
A widespread practical application is using quantum dot enhancement film (QDEF) layer to improve the LED backlighting in LCD TVs.Light from a blue LED backlight is converted by QDs to relatively pure red and green, so that this combination of blue, green and red light incurs less blue-green crosstalk and light absorption in the color filters after the LCD screen, thereby increasing useful ...
The ambient light sensor of a Google Pixel 4a smartphone under a microscope. An ambient light sensor is a component in smartphones, notebooks, other mobile devices, automotive displays and LCD TVs. It is a photodetector that is used to sense the amount of ambient light present, and appropriately dim the device's screen to match it.
luminance is the photometric brightness of an object (in units of cd/m 2), taking into account the wavelength-dependent sensitivity of the human eye (the photopic curve); relative luminance is the luminance relative to a white level, used in a color-space encoding; luma is the encoded video brightness signal, i.e., similar to the signal voltage ...
