<p>Disclosed embodiments relate to techniques for enhancing luminance resolution in a backlight unit. A backlight unit may have light-emitting diode (LED) light sources arranged in strings. In one embodiment, a backlight controller provides enhanced luminance resolution by drive each LED string at either first or second consecutive luminance values corresponding to first and second duty cycles of a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal. The outputs of the LED strings are optically mixed to achieve intermediate luminance values between the first and second luminance values. In another embodiment, a reference voltage is adjusted using slight voltage offsets to achieve intermediate luminance values between the first and second luminance values.</p> |
