In an exemplary embodiment, each Channel (CH) pin generally has a rising edge and a falling edge, and the rising edge and the falling edge of the plurality of Channel (CH) pins have different time periods, so that the rising edge or the falling edge of some channel pins have longer time periods, and in the case of a low brightness and a higher backlight scanning frequency, the time period of a high-level signal is shorter because of a lower PWM duty, the time period of the high-level signal before the rising edge arrives has ended, so that the signal of the channel does not reach the expected high level, so that the light emitting area corresponding to the backlight plate cannot reach the expected brightness, and the channel pins with shorter time periods of other rising edges and falling edges can reach the high level, so that the light emitting area corresponding to the backlight plate can reach the expected brightness, and therefore, in the case of a higher backlight scanning frequency, the problem of uneven brightness often occurs at the time of low brightness because the rising edge or the falling edge of the plurality of channel pins is inconsistent.
As shown in fig. 7, in a schematic diagram of a Channel (CH) pin signal under the condition of low brightness and higher backlight scanning frequency, because the low brightness PWM duty ratio is relatively low, the higher backlight scanning frequency results in a shorter signal time of each channel, as in fig. 7, the rising edge time of the first channel CH1 is longer than that of the second channel CH2 and shorter than that of the seventy-two channels CH72, the highest reached level of the first channel CH1 is Z3, the highest reached level of the second channel CH2 is Z2, the highest reached level of the seventy-two normal CH72 is Z4, wherein Z1 is the level signal of the channel pin after no electric signal is applied, and Z2 is the expected signal level of the channel pin after the electric signal is applied, in fig. 7, the rising edge time of the first channel CH1, the second channel CH2 and the seventy-two channels CH72 are different, and the highest reached level finally is different, as can be seen from fig. 7, Z2 > Z3 > Z4, and the light-emitting area of the first channel CH1 corresponds to the light-emitting area of the backlight panel when the light-emitting area corresponds to the second channel CH2, and the light-emitting area corresponds to the dark area when the light-emitting area of the backlight panel corresponds to the light-emitting area of the backlight panel.
As shown in fig. 8, a schematic diagram of a plurality of Channel (CH) pin signals under the condition of low brightness and low backlight scanning frequency is shown, and although the low brightness PWM duty ratio is low, the low backlight scanning frequency makes the signal time of each channel long enough, compared with fig. 7, under the condition that the rising edge time of the first channel CH1, the second channel CH2 and the channel CH72 is unchanged, the first channel CH1, the second channel CH2 and the channel CH72 in fig. 8 can reach the expected high level Z2 before the rising edge (only because of the inconsistent rising edge time, but the time reaching the highest level Z2 is inconsistent, but the light emitting area of the backlight board corresponding to the plurality of through (CH) pins can be made to be even.
