[0002] In daily life, electronic clocks are often used. It is a timing device that uses digital circuits to display time. Compared with traditional mechanical clocks and quartz clocks, electronic clocks have higher accuracy. It uses the crystal oscillator pulse signal in the integrated circuit to time, ensuring the accuracy of time. The electronic clock directly displays the time in digital form, without the need to read the time through a pointer like a mechanical clock, which is more intuitive and convenient. Usually, a display backlight is added to the electronic clock for users to view the screen content in a darker environment at night.

And in a dark environment, it is difficult to perform button operations. At the same time, it is easy to forget to turn off the screen backlight, resulting in the backlight of the display still being on in a well-lit environment during the day, causing waste of electric energy.
