- the edge detection signal input to the latch circuit 13 gives the output timing of the latch circuit 13.
- the output of the counter 15 is latched by the latch circuit 13 via the increment circuit 16. Note that the counter 15 counts the length of the frame period as the number of clocks of the reference clock, so it can also be called a frame counter.
- an edge detection signal that becomes high level by one reference clock is output from the AND circuit 14 in synchronization with the frame start signal.
- the counter 15 outputs a count value every time a reference clock is input, but resets the count value to 0 when an edge detection signal is input.

Abstract
Description
まず、上述のように映像信号のソースが変更される場合には、例えば、映像信号としてのテレビ放送信号を、DVD(digital versatile disk)プレーヤのような他のビデオソースから供給される映像信号に切り換える場合が該当する。例えば、我が国で視聴されているテレビ放送信号は、NTSC方式に準拠しており、フレーム周波数は60Hzに定められている。一方、他のビデオソースから供給される映像信号には、映画館で上映される映画を基に作成した映像信号のように、フレーム周波数が24Hzに定められているものがある。
点灯輝度=LEDの最大輝度×点灯時間/(点灯時間+消灯時間)
このように、映像信号のフレーム周期に同期して光源を制御するにあたって、決まったPWMクロックで光源を点灯させようとすると、フレーム周期が変更された場合に、点灯輝度が変わる。その理由は要するに、フレーム周期と同期を取るために、消灯時間を延ばしたり、あるいは点灯時間を延ばしたりする結果になるからである。上記の式から、消灯時間を延ばした場合には点灯輝度が低下し、点灯時間を延ばした場合には点灯輝度が上昇することになる。
