Temporal light artifact-free dimming control for lighting sources

Abstract

Systems and methods for reducing temporal light artifacts (“TLAs”) occurrence during light source dimming operations are provided. The system includes a dimmer, a light source, and a driving circuit. The driving circuit is configured to receive a signal from the dimmer and perform a dimming curve algorithm on the signal to drive the light source with a non-linear dimming curve such that a light output of the light source over a dimming duration has no TLAs detectable by a human observing the light output. The method includes receiving, at a driving circuit, a signal from a dimmer; performing a dimming curve algorithm on the signal to generate a non-linear dimming curve; and driving a light source with the non¬linear dimming curve to dim a light output of the light source such that the light output over a dimming duration has no TLAs detectable by a human observing the light output.
