Welcome to the forums. Have you checked if the problem persists after booting in safe mode?

Thanks for registering! It could be a hardware problem then. Just in case, try changing the screen brightness and see if the problem persists even at a low level.

when the brightness is reduced the blinking is more

Have you recently received a system update? If safe mode didn't stop the blinking I would say it's a firmware issue or a hardware problem. The possible fixes would be a factory reset (make sure to backup anything you don't want to lose) or taking the phone to a repair shop.
