Patent number: 10991320Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented method may include determining a frame rate for a current frame, where the frame rate dictates the amount of time the current frame is to be presented on a display. The display may be a backlight that is powered for a specified amount of time as part of a duty cycle. The method may further include calculating a backlight duty cycle time for the current frame. The backlight duty cycle time may include a minimum amount of powered time plus an additional amount of powered time that is dependent on the frame rate for the current frame. The method may further generate a drive signal for the display using the calculated backlight duty cycle time and driving the display using the generated drive signal. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2019Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Facebook Technologies, LLCInventors: Cheonhong Kim, Min Hyuk Choi, Rui Zhang, Samuel Gosselin
