In this paper, we have proposed the contrast control method for improving image quality. The proposed method can be easily applied to the FPD (flat panel display) which requires real-time processing because of its lower hardware complexity that the conventional methods. In addition, it can flexibly control the contrast of input image by arraying the weight values that control the contrast range. Visual test and standard deviation of their histograms have been introduced to evaluate the results of proposed method and the original images. The functional operation of he proposed method has been verified using the SYNOPSYS VHDL tool and computer simulation. Its results show that he proposed method might be very suitable for real-time processing on the FPD.
