The present invention relates to an LED array that displays the status of a level meter or the like made up of a plurality of LEDs in an operation display device of an ITI device.
(従来技術)

状態表示等に用いられる事が多くなった。(Prior Art) In recent years, LEDs have been developed for a wide variety of uses, and are increasingly used as light sources or status indicators.
しかしLEDは点発光が基本であり、これを線発光ある

の時、各々のLEDの発光レベルにはばらつきがあり、
これを防ぐには下記の方法などが用いられていたが欠点
も多い。However, LEDs are basically point-emitting lights, and when they are used as line-emitting or surface-emitting lights, they are a collection of these point-emitting lights. At this time, there are variations in the light emission level of each LED,
The following methods have been used to prevent this, but they have many drawbacks.
■LEDを選別してばらつき少なくしようとするとLE
Dの選別ランクが多くなり管理が複雑となる。■If you try to sort out LEDs to reduce variations, LE
The number of sorting ranks of D increases and management becomes complicated.
■抵抗器をLEDのばらつきに対応したものを使用する
場合は抵抗器の管理種類が多くなり製造管理が複雑とな
る。■When using resistors that can accommodate variations in LEDs, there are many types of resistors to manage, which complicates manufacturing management.
■可変抵抗器をLEDのばらつきに対応したものを使用
する場合は、可変抵抗器の調整が各LEDに対して行わ
なければならない為、製造工程が増える。- When using a variable resistor that can accommodate variations in LEDs, the manufacturing process increases because the variable resistor must be adjusted for each LED.
0発光レベルをフィードバックして通電電流を可変とす
る場合は、フィードバックの制御回路を各LEDに対応
させなければならない為、複雑で高価、大型となる。In the case where the energizing current is made variable by feeding back the 0 light emission level, a feedback control circuit must be provided for each LED, which results in a complicated, expensive, and large-sized device.

The resistor in the example of FIG. 1 may be a thin film resistor or a thick film resistor, and the resistor in the example of FIG. 2 may be a thick film resistor. The range of resistance values is 1:1, and thick films are more advantageous in terms of productivity, etc., but there are many variations in settings. This variation can be absorbed by the adjustment method shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

A calibrated optical sensor that outputs an electrical signal according to the luminous intensity of the LED is used, and the output electricity No. 18 of the required luminous luminous intensity is used as a reference value. At this time, the distance between the LED and the optical sensor is set according to the usage conditions. Other conditions are also set in the usage conditions. In fact, the optical output current from the LED is converted into an electrical ffi number, this output is compared with the reference value mentioned earlier, and the resistance value of the variable resistor is changed.

変更する等がある。This changing means, for example, pulse-modulates the output, rotates it by the pulse amount with a pulse motor, and changes the resistance value of the rotary variable resistor by this rotational movement, or changes the rotational movement to linear movement to make a linear slide variable. This includes changing the resistance value of a resistor.

The input device receives the output information from earlier, and stores it in the memory as reference information. Then, this information is compared with the resistance value output of the printed resistor to be used as a set, and as a result, the resistor is shaved off using a resistance adjustment device, or a conductive paste is applied and adjusted.
この結果、印刷抵抗体の抵抗値が変わり、その値は比較
回路にて再チェックされ、最終的に所望の値を得る。As a result, the resistance value of the printed resistor changes, and the value is rechecked in the comparator circuit to finally obtain the desired value.

Therefore, complexity in parts management etc. can be prevented, and LED arrays can be manufactured at low cost. Incidentally, since the apparatus shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 includes manufacturing and inspection, the process is omitted and the effect is further increased.
