  • Patent number: 11615751
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a backlight control method having dynamic backlight adjusting mechanism used in a display control circuit is provided and includes the steps outlined below. A frame refresh time length of a former frame is obtained. When a current frame is started to be displayed, a backlight module is controlled to output a strobe backlight in a backlight turn-on time period. When an actual display time reaches the frame refresh time length and a next frame is not started to be displayed, the backlight module is controlled to output a constant backlight until the next frame is started to be displayed. When the actual display time does not reach the frame refresh time length and the next frame is started to be displayed, the backlight module is controlled to output the constant backlight until the frame next to the next frame is started to be displayed.

  • Patent number: 11545109
    Abstract: Disclosed is a display backlight control method for adapting a display backlight source to multiple refresh rates. The method includes: ascertaining a relation between a refresh rate and a threshold; if the relation indicates that the refresh rate changes from being higher than the threshold to lower than the threshold, transmitting a first mode backlight control signal to make the display backlight source provide a first transitional backlight in a first transition period and then provide a constant backlight; and if the relation indicates that the refresh rate changes from being lower than the threshold to higher than the threshold, transmitting a second mode backlight control signal to make the display backlight source provide a second transitional backlight in a second transition period and then provide a non-transitional strobe backlight. The first (second) transitional backlight includes a first (second) transitional strobe backlight and a first (second) transitional constant backlight.

  • Patent number: 11335288
    Abstract: A control chip configured to be coupled with a backlight driving chip and a display panel is provided. The control chip includes a storage element and a processing circuit. The storage element is configured to store a predetermined vertical refresh rate of the display panel. The processing circuit is coupled with the storage element, and is configured to provide a switching signal to the backlight driving chip so that the backlight driving chip enables a backlight module according to the switching signal. A frequency of the switching signal is equal to the predetermined vertical refresh rate. If the processing circuit has not received a vertical refresh starting pulse for more than a predetermined frame time corresponding to the predetermined vertical refresh rate, the processing circuit increases the frequency of the switching signal.
