Dimming 
There are two standard methods for dimming the AM displays. Frame rate 
dimming allows the brightness of the display to be lowered proportionally by 
reducing the frame rate. Analog dimming allows the brightness to be reduced 
with an external, user supplied potentiometer or electronic circuitry. The 
brightness range for analog dimming is from 100% to nearly 5% of the full 
brightness. 
Frame rate dimming is performed within the application by lowering the 
frame rate of the video input signals. Because brightness is proportional to 
refresh rate, the display can be dimmed by adding pauses between every 
horizontal period. 
The lowest possible frame rate (brightness) is dependent on the perceived 
flicker of the displayed image, but will most likely be around 60 Hz. For more 
information on frame rate dimming please see Planar Application Note 120. 
The analog dimming feature utilizes a 50k ohm logarithmic external 
potentiometer, allowing manual control of the display’s brightness. Analog 
dimming is standard on the AM8 IN and AM8 ET displays. The typical current 
for minimum brightness is 220 µA.
