BOOSTXL-K350QVG-S1: Reduce brightness of the backlight

Part Number: BOOSTXL-K350QVG-S1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5529

Hello how are you?

We have the display and the MSP430F5529 microcontroller, and we need to lower the brightness of the backlight to reduce the total consumption. We have looked for several ways to do it, for now the only thing we can do is turn it off completely with

GPIO_setOutputLowOnPin (LCD_PWM_PORT,
LCD_PWM_PIN);

which is from the library we use to control the display (Graphics_Library 3_21_00_00   https://software-dl.ti.com/msp430/msp430_public_sw/mcu/msp430/Graphics_Library/latest/exports/grlib_3_21_00_00.zip) which sends zero or one for the PWM pin (port 2.5), but we want something in between that doesn't It is to turn it off completely. 

So we think that since a PWM signal can also be implemented through that pin with timer A2.2, if it is possible to do this to reduce the brightness, modifying the duty cycle of a PWM signal on that pin.

Thank you very much, and excuse my bad English.
Regards
