If selecting hand-operating light pattern 82, then the second triggering signal OE is positive logic, and makes the 3rd switch Element SW3 turns on, so that the keying signal on/off of display lamp 20 is directly by the 3rd switch element SW3 and light display lamp 20.Meanwhile, anti-phase second is received with door 54 and frequency generator 53 Trigger signalFor negative logic, and make to be failure to actuate with frequency generator 53 with door 54.
Hand-operating light pattern 82 times, embedded controller EC directly makes the brightness of display lamp 20 for making The brightness that user is inputted.Therefore, in this manner under, user can according to individual to the sensitivity of brightness from Row sum-equal matrix display lamp 20 brightness, uses degree of freedom to improve.
Pattern with an automatic light meter
If selecting pattern 81 with an automatic light meter, then the second triggering signal OE is negative logic, and makes the 3rd switch Element SW3 is not turned on.Meanwhile, the second anti-phase triggering is received with door 54 and frequency generator 53 SignalFor positive logic, so make and door 54 (wherein, frequency produces with frequency generator 53 action Device 53 action end of still needing sees whether the first triggering signal b is positive logic).
It is noted that owing to this pattern is pattern 81 with an automatic light meter, is not required to user and manually adjusts voluntarily The brightness of display lamp 20, therefore the brightness of display lamp 20 does not allow complete dark (brightness is equal to zero).Therefore, Embedded controller EC has data output connecting pin DT, right in order to export minimum brightness setting value LL institute The magnitude of voltage answered, and the magnitude of voltage corresponding to minimum brightness setting value LL can be as the reference of comparator 52 Value and the setting of dutycycle of the first pulse-width modulation signal PWM produced as frequency generator 53 Value.
In pattern with an automatic light meter 81 times, backlight brightness values BL is converted into accordingly by available integrator 51 Magnitude of voltage a.Then, comparator 52 comparing voltage value a and minimum brightness setting value LL, and foundation Comparative result has following two kinds of situations:
A) when the corresponding magnitude of voltage a of backlight brightness values BL institute is more than or equal to minimum brightness setting value LL Time, representing that backlight brightness values BL is more than or equal to minimum brightness setting value LL, comparator 52 sends First triggering signal b is negative logic, the first the most anti-phase triggering signalFor positive logic so that first opens Close element SW1 to be not turned on, and make second switch element SW2 for conducting, and can be directly by backlight illumination Value BL produces corresponding brightness adjustment value, and then the brightness of control display lamp 20, i.e. display lamp 20 Receive the brightness adjustment value being equal to backlight brightness values BL.For example, backlight brightness values BL is 80% Time, the brightness of display lamp 20 is also 80%.
B) when the corresponding magnitude of voltage a of backlight brightness values BL institute is less than minimum brightness setting value LL, table Show that backlight brightness values BL is less than minimum brightness setting value LL, the first triggering signal that comparator 52 sends B is positive logic so that the first switch element SW1 conducting, and second switch element SW2 is for being not turned on. In this, frequency generator 53 can produce corresponding brightness adjustment value according to minimum brightness setting value LL, And then control the brightness of display lamp 20.Base this, when the luminance-reduction of backlight module 11 level off to zero (or Equal to zero) time, the brightness of display lamp 20 can maintain minimum brightness setting value LL, to warn user Electric power will exhaust.
