Display backlighting systems and methods for adaptive pulse width modulation and modulo pulse width modulation

摘要

Aspects of the subject technology relate to an electronic device with a display. The display includes an array of light-emitting diodes. The array includes a plurality of subarrays of the light-emitting diodes. At least one driver circuit is coupled to the array of light-emitting diodes. The at least one driver circuit is configured to generate an adaptive pulse-width modulated (PWM) signal to control at least one subarray of the plurality of subarrays of the light-emitting diodes. The adaptive PWM signal is designed with each pulse of a group having a pulse width W, each pulse width being reduced until reaching a threshold pulse width, and one pulse being removed from the group of pulses.
