  • Page 16: Brightness Control

    Brightness Control The brightness of the monitor may be controlled automatically or manually, and the minimum brightness is adjustable. By default, the monitor is configured for automatic brightness control with a minimum brightness setting of approximately 250 cd/m Automatic Brightness Control In automatic brightness control mode, a photo sensor mounted on the front of the display measures the ambient lighting condition (the illuminance).
  • Page 17: Manual Brightness Control

    The schematic below is a reference design for the user to install the photo sensor remotely from the display. Reference Design for Remote Photo Diode Brightness Control Manual Brightness Control In manual brightness control mode, an externally supplied voltage determines the monitor brightness. To use manual brightness control mode instead of the default automatic brightness control mode: 1.
  • Page 18: Minimum Brightness Limit

    The graph below shows the typical factory set response to the DIM_INPUT voltage when in manual brightness control mode. Figure 2 Minimum Brightness Limit The factory set minimum brightness is approximately 300 cd/m . In most applications the factory set- ting is desired to maintain the widest dimming range possible.
  • Page 19: Maximum Brightness Mode

    To change the minimum brightness limit, one of three basic methods can be used: 1. If one wishes to set an approximate minimum brightness, the above graph may be used. For instance, to set the minimum to approximately 500 cd/m , set the minimum brightness limit to an OSD setting of 60.
