Abstract
A frame generation subsystem renders a sequence of frames and a display control subsystem provides a brightness control signal configured to control a brightness of frames displayed at a display panel via pulse width modulation (PWM) of the brightness control signal and determines a deviation in a duty cycle of a first PWM period of the brightness control signal from a default duty cycle resulting from a delayed rendering of a frame. The display control subsystem adjusts a duty cycle of at least a second PWM period to compensate for the deviation in the duty cycle of the first PWM period. The resulting average duty cycle of the brightness control signal over the two frame periods is approximately equal to a default duty cycle and thereby mitigates viewable flicker resulting from the duty cycle change caused by the delayed rendering.
