  • LCD display backlight control system
    Patent number: 10825406
    Abstract: A backlight control system is provided. A modulation value register is included in memory of the system. A display backlight is included in the system, the display backlight including a light emitting diode (LED) light source configured to illuminate a liquid crystal display (LCD). Processing circuitry included in the system is configured to execute a clock timer and a temporal dither pattern generator. The temporal dither pattern generator is configured to receive a modulation value from the modulation value register, and apply a temporal dither according to a signal from the clock timer to the modulation value to generate a dithered modulation value. A modulator executed by the processing circuitry is configured to receive the dithered modulation value and modulate a power signal according to the dithered modulation value to drive the display backlight.
