description A method and system are set forth for automatically adjusting a source of illumination based on an image at a display. An electronic device includes a source of illumination, a display and an ambient light sensor. A lighting level for the source of illumination is calculated based on ambient light detected by the ambient light sensor, the lighting level applied to lighting a portion of the electronic device other than the display. A luminance level of an image at the display is calculated. lf the calculated lighting level for the source of illumination exceeds the calculated luminance level of the image at the display then the lighting level for the source of illumination is adjusted to no greater than the calculated luminance level. Une méthode et un système sont présentés pour automatiquement ajuster une source d'illumination en fonction d'une image affichée. Un appareil électronique comprend une source d'illumination, un écran et un capteur de lumière ambiante. Un niveau d'éclairage pour la source d'illumination est calculé en fonction de la lumière ambiante détectée par le capteur de lumière ambiante, le niveau d'éclairage appliqué à éclairer une portion de l'appareil électronique autre que l'écran. Un niveau de luminance d'une image sur l'écran est calculé. Si le niveau d'éclairage calculé pour la source d'illumination dépasse le niveau de luminance de l'image sur l'écran, alors le niveau d'éclairage pour la source d'illumination est ajusté pour ne pas dépasser le niveau de luminance calculé.
