PRODUCTION DATA.
In addition to pure PWM dimming, LP8863-Q1 supports a hybrid-dimming mode. Hybrid dimming combines PWM and current modes for brightness control for the display brightness path. In hybrid mode PWM dimming is used for the low range of brightness, and current dimming is used for high brightness levels as shown in Figure 18. Current dimming control enables improved optical efficiency due to increased LED efficiency at lower currents. PWM dimming control at low brightness levels ensures linear and accurate control.
Hybrid mode can be enabled with the DIMMING_MODE bit in USER_CONFIG1 register. The PWM and current modes transition threshold can be set at 12.5% or at 0% brightness with the DIMMING_MODE bits. The latter selection allows for pure current dimming control mode.
