  • Patent number: 8279159
    Abstract: A liquid crystal backlight device and a method for controlling the same are applied to a liquid crystal display apparatus, in which a backlight module is disposed behind a liquid crystal panel to illuminate the panel. The backlight device produces stable illumination to solve the hold type problem due to the hold-type effect of liquid crystal occurred in the prior art. The control method is used to acquire a stable display time from the liquid crystal characteristics and then process the scan signal to match the display data. Controls of the backlight activation signal, including on/off, time delay, and duty cycle adjustment, are then performed to generate a pulse-width modulated signal and a brightness modulated signal so as to produce stable backlight illumination effect. A better display effect can therefore be accomplished.

The LCD device includes a pixel matrix, a timing controller and a gate driver. The timing controller outputs a first Gate-On-Enable signal to the gate driver, when the LCD device displays frame according to a first frame rate. When the first frame rate is switched to a second frame rate, the timing controller outputs a second Gate-On-Enable signal to the gate driver to cause a charge time of the pixel matrix to be unchanged. It is appreciated that a pulse width of the second Gate-On-Enable signal is equal to a summation of a pulse width of the first Gate-On-Enable signal and an adjusted pulse width.
