Electronic equipment such as CD or MP3 players, PDAs, organizers, mobile phones often contains a backlight display unit (10) which can be relatively power or energy consuming. This invention is related to reducing the power consumption of such backlight display units (10). This is performed by dividing the area of the backlight unit (10) up into segments (20a; 20b; 20c), where the intensity of light backlighting each such segment can be controlled separately. Thus, depending on the mode or application of the electronic equipment (100), only some parts of the display unit (10) are to be backlit, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the display unit (10) as a whole. |
