Abstract
Timing controller with frequency modulation, converter with frequency modulation for scanning-based backlight unit module, and control system for 3D display. A timing controller with frequency modulation performs display frequency modulation of a first frame rate of a first display signal and outputs a second display signal at a second frame rate greater than or substantially equal to the first frame rate for presentation by a 3D display in a 3D mode or a 2D mode, selectively. A converter with frequency modulation performs scanning frequency modulation of a first scanning frequency of a first control signal generated from the converter and outputs a second control signal at a second scanning frequency greater than or substantially equal to the first scanning frequency, selectively, for controlling the scanning-based backlight unit module of the 3D display.
