By using Mini LED (sub-millimeter light emitting diode) technology, finer backlight adjustment can be achieved, thereby reducing MPRT. The number of Mini LED light sources is large, and the Mini LED light sources can be divided into thousands of subareas for subarea control.

In the related art, the main control module outputs control signals to the output channels of the backlight driving chips through the uniform SPI, and since data of the SPI is output serially, different output channels receive respective control signals through time delay, thereby ensuring the partition control of the backlight driving.
The delay calculation of thousands of backlight driving channels increases the design complexity of the backlight driving, and once the partitions are increased or decreased or the partition arrangement is changed, the delay data of all the backlight driving channels need to be recalculated, so that a large amount of repeated designs of liquid crystal panels with different sizes are caused, and manpower and material resources are wasted.

Example 1
As shown in fig. 4, the present example provides a backlight driving apparatus including an MCU and a plurality of LED driving chips, each of which drives a plurality of LEDs.
As shown IN fig. 5, the MCU receives the IN VSYNC signal and the backlight driving signal of each frame of display image through the input SPI, where IN VSYNC is an initial synchronization signal that is used to synchronize the MCU with its input signals, and after each IN VSYNC, control signals for all LEDs IN a frame are sent to the MCU. The MCU divides the backlight area of one frame of display image into 8 different sub-areas, and carries the original backlight driving signals of the 8 backlight sub-areas in 8 frames of backlight data (such as data1, data2, …, data8 in fig. 5), respectively, each frame of backlight data only contains valid driving data of one backlight sub-area and invalid driving data of N-1 backlight sub-areas, where the invalid driving data can be represented by 0.

The 2 nd frame backlight data (data2) contains LED driving data of the 2 nd backlight sub-region, and other data in the backlight data frame are all 0.

In the above example, the main control module can transmit a frame of original backlight driving signal by sending a data packet 8 times in one original synchronization signal period through 8 times of frequency doubling synchronization signals, thereby avoiding a large amount of calculation of delay data, realizing synchronization of backlight driving and liquid crystal turnover by a simpler and more convenient method, easily using a uniform backlight driving scheme among liquid crystal panels of different sizes, and improving the transportability of the backlight driving scheme.
