Title: Blanking the screen.
Post by: SP3OSJ on 15. April 2018, 10:11:06

Screen blanking in the OVI40 increases the power consumption by comparing with the weakest lighting.
mcHF is the opposite.
Why?

Measurement failure.

Dimming is done via pulse driving of LCD backlight. If your measurement equipment reacts on the pulses it shows "nonsense".

I have just done measurement, too:
full brightness against lowest brightness differs 50mA (of course dimmed brightness does have lowest power consumption).

Most cheap chinese digital measurement equipments are easily to confuse using pulsed current/voltage. The precise way is to use an old analogue instrument ::) (or an expensiver digital one).
