Note 1, we are finding a more perfect method to adjust white balance and sub-brightness. If we just adjust mid.brightness to get proper sub- brightness. The value of mid.brightness may be very low or
very high. With too low or too high value of mid-brightness, we may get a poor control curve of brightness.
