Backlight and LCD Bias Reference Design for 90-Hz Refresh-Rate Virtual/Augmented Reality Displays

Description

This reference design describes the power solution for LCD displays in wearable devices: especially in augmented-reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) headsets. The high current accuracy backlight driver is achieved by LP8556: which provides high current during small duty cycle synchronized with refresh rate. The LCD bias power driver is provided by TPS65132: which is simple to use and has a small package. The detailed design theory: component selection: and test results are also discussed.
