hey arpit
it might be the ambient light sensor on the top of screen which automatically adjusts the brightness of the display...
just do a test... concentrate some light source at the front of your mobile...... cover your ambient light sensor with finger and the brightness must decrease and if u remove it the brightness must increase

is this what u r referring to as blinking or u face a different thing

hmm , even my arc sometimes flickr.. it depends on the ammbient light as mentioned by nabeelraza.. it will happen sometimes , not all the times , so you should not worry...

if it happens all the time then you should get it checked,,, but yes follow nabeelraza's advice first..

the blink is like very minor change in diplay brightness...bt it is very frequent or u can say fast...like blinking of old fashioned tubelights....;)..

ok dial *#*#7378423#*#*

then select service tests and then select proximity switch..

it will say off....

now move your finger over the sensor and it should turn on..
