Description

Unequal difference pulse width modulation dimming method
Technical Field
The present invention relates to Pulse-width modulation (PWM) technology, and more particularly, to a non-uniform Pulse width modulation (Unequal difference) dimming method.
Background
In the prior art, an Equal difference (Equal difference) pwm dimming method is usually used between a Transmitter (TX) and a Receiver (RX).
For example, as shown in fig. 1A, when the transmitting terminal TX receives the first light L1 with a luminance ratio of 75%, the second light L2 with a luminance ratio of 25%, and the third light L3 with a luminance ratio of 50%, the transmitting terminal TX correspondingly sends a first PWM signal PWM1 with a high-low potential ratio of 75%, a second PWM signal PWM2 with a high-low potential ratio of 25%, and a third PWM signal PWM3 with a high-low potential ratio of 50% to the receiving terminal RX, and then the receiving terminal RX correspondingly sends a first light L1 with a luminance ratio of 75%, a second light L2 with a luminance ratio of 25%, and a third light L3 with a luminance ratio of 50%, where the correspondence between the high-low potential ratios of the PWM signals and the luminance ratios of the lights is a linear Equal difference (Equal difference) correspondence, as shown in fig. 1B.
However, since the noise of the system (e.g., the oscillator jitter (OSC jitter) of the TX/RX) varies at each level, the linear equation between the high-to-low ratio of the pwm signals and the luminance ratio of the light is likely to limit the maximum resolution of the system to the maximum noise level, and thus needs to be improved.
