1. An electronic device comprising:
a display, wherein the display comprises:
an array of physical pixels; and
a lenticular lens film formed over the array of physical pixels, wherein each physical pixel has an associated perceived pixel based on an appearance of that physical pixel through the lenticular lens film, wherein each physical pixel has a first footprint, and wherein the perceived pixel for each physical pixel has a second footprint that is different than the first footprint;
control circuitry configured to:
receive pixel data for the array of physical pixels; and
apply dimming factors to the pixel data, wherein the dimming factor for each physical pixel is based on the perceived pixel for that physical pixel.
