[Background of the Invention] The use of a photoresistor (CDS) as a light sensor (Light Sensor) to reduce the backlight redundancy of the liquid crystal display (Liquid Crystal Display; LCD) can significantly reduce hardware costs, but because The photoresistor itself has a large resistance rank difference, so that when operating in the automatic mode, the output value P of the light sensor returns to different photoresistor elements and there is a considerable difference. In fact, this difference does not cause the malfunction of the light-sensing circuit, but only the output range is different depending on the different photoresistors. Therefore, it causes trouble in mass production in the factory. Often it is not known whether the output of the inductor is acceptable Range and waste a considerable amount of time to repeatedly check the circuit, and even affect the quality and progress of the shipment. In the conventional technology, the photoresistor (CDS) 100 is used as a light sensor to control the liquid crystal display (Liquid Crystal

The conversion of ambient brightness into digital data is done with an analog / digital converter (ADC) 1 10, whether A DC 11 0 contains or adds microprocessing The cost of the device is very high, and if the sensor board 130 and the microprocessor 12 are designed separately, at least 8 transmission lines 140 are required to connect the signal data line.
