PULSE WIDTH MODULATION DIMMING CONTROL METHOD AND DISPLAY APPARATUS HAVING PULSE WIDTH MODULATION DIMMING CONTROL FUNCTION

摘要

A pulse width modulation (PWM) dimming control method and a display apparatus having a PWM dimming control function are provided. The method includes setting a PWM period of a group lighting block based on a state of both a first gate line and a last gate line among a plurality of gate lines corresponding to the group lighting block; and controlling PWM dimming of the group lighting block based on the set PWM period. The display apparatus includes a timing controller which determines a pulse width modulation (PWM) period of a group lighting block based on a state of both a first gate line and a last gate line among a plurality of gate lines corresponding to the group lighting block; and a PWM dimming controller which generates a PWM signal for controlling PWM dimming based on the determined PWM period.
