"Method For Adjusting Backlight Brightness And Electronic Device"

Abstract: A backlight brightness regulation method and an electronic device which relate to the field of liquid crystal display manufacturing and used for solving the problem that a user observes the phenomenon of obvious flickers in dimming during the process of regulating the backlight brightness of an LCD. The electronic device comprises a brightness sensor (21) and a microcontroller (22) connected to the brightness sensor (21). The brightness sensor (21) is used for obtaining an environment brightness signal at a current time point. The microcontroller (22) is used for reading the environment brightness signal at the current time point in the brightness sensor (21) and calculating a first backlight brightness target value of the electronic device at the current time point according to the environment brightness signal at the current time point. The microcontroller (22) is also used for gradually regulating a first backlight brightness initial value to the first backlight brightness target value when the electronic device is in a normal screen lit state the first backlight brightness initial value being the first backlight brightness target value of the electronic device at a previous time point.
