Display with backlight and temperature color compensation

An electronic device that uses image data to display images for a user, comprising:

• an array of liquid crystal display pixels into which the image data is loaded to display the images;
• a backlight that produces backlight illumination for the array of liquid crystal display pixels at a backlight illumination level, wherein the backlight illumination is characterized by color variations due to changes in the backlight illumination level;
• and
• circuitry that receives operating temperature data associated with the electronic device, that receives the backlight illumination level, and that implements a backlight level color compensator that compensates the image data for the color variations by applying respective correction factors to a plurality of color data values in the image data, wherein the correction factors are based on both the operating temperature data associated with the electronic device and the backlight illumination level.

An electronic device that displays image frames, comprising:

• an array of liquid crystal display pixels that displays the image frames;
• backlight structures that produce backlight illumination for the array of liquid crystal display pixels at a backlight illumination level, wherein the backlight structures include a light source having an array of blue light-emitting diodes with red and green phosphors;
• and
• circuitry that implements a backlight level color compensator that receives operating temperature data for the electronic device and that corrects the image frames for color variations due to changes in the backlight illumination level by adjusting a plurality of color data values in the image frames based on respective predetermined correction factors associated with both the operating temperature and the backlight illumination level.
