A method and system for load balancing the work of NP processors (NP≧3) configured to generate each image of multiple images in a display area of a display device. The process for each image includes: dividing the display area logically into NP initial segments ordered along an axis of the display area; assigning each processor to a corresponding initial segment; assigning a thickness to each initial segment; simultaneously computing an average work function per pixel for each initial segment; generating a cumulative work function from the average work function per pixel for each initial segment; partitioning a work function domain of the cumulative work function into NP sub-domains; determining NP final segments of the display area by using the cumulative work function to inversely map boundaries of the sub-domains onto the axis; assigning each processor to a final segment, and displaying and/or storing the NP final segments.
