Abstract:
A driving method for local dimming of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) device and an apparatus using the same are disclosed. The driving method includes determining a dimming value of each of a plurality of local dimming blocks into which a backlight unit is divided to be driven on a block basis by analyzing input image data on a block basis, detecting a high gray area concentrated with high gray levels from each local dimming block based on the analysis of the input image data, and generating position information about the high gray area according to a distance between the high gray area in the block and an adjacent block, and compensating the dimming value of each of the plurality of local dimming blocks by spatial filtering using a spatial filter having a different filter size or different filter coefficients for local dimming blocks according to the position information about the high gray area in the local dimming block.
