ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the present invention generally provide methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture for gradually dimming backlit displays. The backlit displays may be gradually dimmed by reducing a level of the backlighting from an initial level to a final level in a plurality of steps over a dimming interval. The gradual dimming operations may be performed by any suitable combination of software and hardware components. For some embodiments, parameters used for the dimming, such as the dimming interval and final level of the backlighting, may be specified by a user.
