Description

显示***及其电流驱动方法 技术领域  Display system and current driving method thereof
[0001] 本申请涉及显示技术领域, 尤其涉及一种显示***及其电流驱动方法。  [0001] The present application relates to the field of display technologies, and in particular, to a display system and a current driving method thereof.
背景技术  Background technique
[0002] 通常, 液晶显示器 (LCD)组件应用在各种用途, 例如笔记本型计算机, 移动 电话, 个人数字助理, 汽车仪表板等。 典型而言, 发光光源位于 LCD组件中光 调制器, 例如液晶层后面以利于观看影像及产生最佳发光效果。 发光光源可以 是荧光灯, 电致发光组件, 发光二极管 (LED) , 气态放电灯等。 一般控制电路 提供整流过的电流给发光光源。  [0002] In general, liquid crystal display (LCD) components are used in a variety of applications, such as notebook computers, mobile phones, personal digital assistants, car dashboards, and the like. Typically, the illuminating source is located in the LCD module, such as behind a liquid crystal layer, to facilitate viewing of the image and to produce an optimum illuminating effect. The illuminating light source can be a fluorescent lamp, an electroluminescent component, a light emitting diode (LED), a gaseous discharge lamp, or the like. The general control circuit provides a rectified current to the illuminating source.
[0003] 请参阅图 1, 发光光源模块 104可以位于 LCD组件中的光调制器后面。 发光光源 模块 104包括串联的发光二极管 (LED)。 LED电流控制综合电路 (亦称为控制器 ) 102控制发光光源模块 104的驱动电流。 控制器 102的输出端 DRV经由 RC滤波器 106连接至晶体管 108的基极。 晶体管 108的集电极经连接器负荷电阻 110连接至 电源装置 Vcc。 晶体管 108的射极接地。 晶体管 108的集电极进一步经二极管 112 连接至发光光源模块 104。 发光光源模块 104的输出端经偏置电阻 114接地。 发光 光源模块 104的输出端还连接至控制器 102的端 FB。 电容器 116使电源装置 Vcc接 地。 另一电容器 118使二极管 112接地。  Referring to FIG. 1, the illuminating light source module 104 may be located behind the light modulator in the LCD assembly. The illuminating light source module 104 includes a series of light emitting diodes (LEDs). An LED current control integrated circuit (also referred to as a controller) 102 controls the drive current of the light source module 104. The output DRV of the controller 102 is coupled to the base of the transistor 108 via an RC filter 106. The collector of transistor 108 is coupled to power supply unit Vcc via connector load resistor 110. The emitter of transistor 108 is grounded. The collector of transistor 108 is further coupled to illuminating light source module 104 via diode 112. The output of the illuminating light source module 104 is grounded via a bias resistor 114. The output of the illuminating light source module 104 is also coupled to the terminal FB of the controller 102. Capacitor 116 grounds power supply unit Vcc. Another capacitor 118 grounds diode 112.
[0004] 在另一常规电流调节器 100中, 偏置电阻器 114决定可以流经发光光源模块 104 的驱动电流值。 控制器 102经由 RC滤波器 106输出固定的启动信号至晶体管 108的 基极。 晶体管 108提供给发光光源模块 104预定驱动电流。 典型而言, 一旦偏置 电阻器 114的电阻值建立, 则经过发光光源模块 104的驱动电流即无法调整。 发 光光源模块 104的 LED亮度与流经发光光源模块 104的驱动电流成正比。 长期使用 电路组件可能造成发光光源模块 104的驱动电流不可预期的变化。 此外, 某些种 类 LED, 例如有机 LED(OLED)内的驱动电流可能因为电流调节器 100的操作温度 改变而发生变化。 结果, 可能不利于发光光源模块 104内 LED的亮度。 因此, 需 要一种控制 LCD***内发光光源模块的驱动电流的方法及装置。 技术问题 In another conventional current regulator 100, the bias resistor 114 determines a drive current value that can flow through the illuminating light source module 104. Controller 102 outputs a fixed enable signal to the base of transistor 108 via RC filter 106. Transistor 108 provides a predetermined drive current to illuminating light source module 104. Typically, once the resistance value of the bias resistor 114 is established, the drive current through the illumination source module 104 cannot be adjusted. The LED brightness of the illuminating light source module 104 is proportional to the driving current flowing through the illuminating light source module 104. Long-term use of the circuit components may cause unpredictable changes in the drive current of the illuminating light source module 104. In addition, drive currents in certain types of LEDs, such as organic LEDs (OLEDs), may change due to changes in the operating temperature of current regulator 100. As a result, the brightness of the LEDs within the illuminating light source module 104 may be detrimental. Therefore, there is a need for a method and apparatus for controlling the drive current of an illumination source module within an LCD system. technical problem

[0031] 请参阅图 2, 显示***, 包括: 显示装置及电流控制器 260, 显示装置可为液晶 显示装置, 其具有至少一发光光源 214, 而至少一发光光源 214可包括数个串连 L ED 242 (l)-(n) , LED 242 (l)-(n)可以串连连接, 并联连接, 或串连与并联组合方 式连接, 发光光源 214可以包括用于 LCD***的背光光源, 例如用于小型 LCD系 统的 LED背光光源, LED背光光源可以包括各种 LED, 例如白光 LED, 彩色 LED 及有机 LED(OLED)等。 另外, 电流控制器 260, 连接至少一发光光源 214, 而电 流控制器 260包括: 计吋器 221、 存储装置 220、 数模转换器 222、 比较器 235及电 流调节器 212。 计吋器 221计算至少一发光光源 214的总点亮吋间, 例如可通过驱 动信号 DRV来启动计吋器 221进行总点亮吋间的计算。 存储装置 220, 连接计吋 器 221, 被配置为存储分别对应不同总点亮吋间的多个数字参考值 226, 其中每 个数字参考值 226对应至少一发光光源 214的预定驱动电流, 数字参考值可以由 仿真发光光源 214所需操作条件而得。 例如, 如果发光光源 214的亮度与流经发 光光源 214的驱动电流成正比, 则对应发光光源 214所需亮度的较佳驱动电流值 可以由仿真发光光源 214所需亮度的操作条件而得, 然后较佳驱动电流值可以利 用模拟对数字转换器转换成数字参考值并且储存于存储装置 220中, 由于可发光 组件会依总点亮吋间而有光衰的现象, 也就是总点亮吋间 100小吋与总点亮吋间 5000小吋的发光光源在相同工作驱动电流下发出亮度是不同的, 通常总点亮吋 间 5000小吋的亮度会小于总点亮吋间 100小吋的亮度。 因此, 可将发光光源 214 的预定驱动电流设定成与发光光源 214的总点亮吋间成正比, 也就是说, 发光光 源 214的总点亮吋间越久, 则预定驱动电流越大, 以增加工作驱动电流以补偿光 衰现象。 数模转换器 222, 连接于存储装置 220及用以转换至少一发光光源 214的 总点亮吋间的数字参考值 226成第一电参数, 例如: 数模转换器 222先将数字参 考值 226转换成模拟信号并且转呈模拟信号给电压参考单元 230, 电压参考单元 2 30用以产生对应于模拟信号的参考电压信号 (第一电参数), 为了说明起见, 电压 参考单元 230显示为独立的单元, 然而, 电压参考单元 230可以合并成数模转换 器 222, 例如, 数模转换器 222可以用以将数字参考值 226转换成第一电参数。 比 较器 235为电压比较器 235, 通过电压参考单元 230电性连接于数模转换器 222, 并用以比较第一电参数 (如: 参考电压值)与对应发光光源 214的工作驱动电流的 第二电参数 (如: 反馈电压值), 并产生对应二输入电压差值的驱动信号 DRV (如 : 驱动偏置电流), 及电流调节器 212连接比较器 235及根据驱动偏置电流调整至 少一发光光源 214的工作驱动电流, 在本实施例中, 电流调节器 212包括金属氧 化物半导体 (MOS)晶体管 240, MOS晶体管 240用以调整发光光源 214的工作驱 动电流, MOS晶体管 240的栅极端与电压比较器 235连接, 并且接收驱动信号 DR V, 而 MOS晶体管 240的源极端接地, MOS晶体管 240的漏极端进一步经二极管 D 连接发光光源 214, 二极管 D还经旁路电容器 C接地, 二极管 D用以保护发光光源 214避免控制器 260故障, 及用以不想要的高频率电流引流经旁路电容器 C接地。 在具体应用中, 电流控制器还包括检测器 216, 检测器 216连接发光光源 214并 用以测量第二电参数 (如: 反馈电压值)。 检测器 216与发光光源 214连接, 检测器 216包括检测器电阻 Rs, 检测器电阻 Rs用以测定对应流经发光光源 214的工作驱 动电流的电压 FB, 检测器电阻 Rs与电压比较器 235的输入端连接, 电压比较器 23 5接收电压 FB并且将与来自电压参考单元 230的第一电参数 (如: 参考电压值)进行 比较, 并产生 MOS晶体管 240的栅极端的驱动信号 DRV, 驱动信号 DRV根据电压 FB与参考电压值之间的差值驱动 MOS晶体管 240的栅极端, MOS晶体管 240根据 驱动信号 DRV调整发光光源 214的工作驱动电流, 例如, 发光光源 214的总点亮 吋间为 5000小吋, 则预定驱动电流为 5A、 第一电参数 (参考电压值)为 120V, 但 因点亮吋间过久, 发光光源 214的工作驱动电流降低为 3A、 第二电参数 (电压 FB) 为 100V, 则电压 FB与参考电压值之间的差值即产生相当强的驱动信号 DRV, 造 成发光光源 214的工作驱动电流增加, 同理, 如果流经发光光源 214的工作驱动 电流过大, 则电压比较器 235产生相当弱的驱动信号 DRV, 造成发光光源 214的 工作驱动电流降低。 Referring to FIG. 2, a display system includes: a display device and a current controller 260. The display device can be a liquid crystal display device having at least one illuminating light source 214, and at least one illuminating light source 214 can include a plurality of series connected L. ED 242 (l)-(n), LED 242 (l)-(n) may be connected in series, in parallel, or in series and in parallel, and the illumination source 214 may include a backlight source for the LCD system, for example LED backlight sources for small LCD systems, LED backlight sources can include a variety of LEDs, such as white LEDs, color LEDs and organic LEDs (OLEDs). In addition, the current controller 260 is connected to at least one illuminating light source 214, and the current controller 260 includes: a counter 221, a storage device 220, a digital to analog converter 222, a comparator 235, and a current regulator 212. The meter 221 calculates the total lighting time of the at least one illuminating light source 214. For example, the calculation of the total lighting time can be initiated by the meter 221 by the driving signal DRV. The storage device 220, the connection meter 221, is configured to store a plurality of digital reference values 226 corresponding to different total lighting conditions, wherein each The digital reference value 226 corresponds to a predetermined drive current of the at least one illumination source 214, and the digital reference value can be derived from the desired operating conditions of the simulated illumination source 214. For example, if the brightness of the illuminating source 214 is proportional to the drive current flowing through the illuminating source 214, the preferred drive current value corresponding to the desired brightness of the illuminating source 214 may be derived from the operating conditions that simulate the desired brightness of the illuminating source 214, and then The preferred driving current value can be converted into a digital reference value by using an analog-to-digital converter and stored in the storage device 220. Since the illuminable component will have a light fading phenomenon depending on the total lighting time, that is, the total lighting time is The illuminating light source of 100 吋 and 5000 吋 in total illumination is different under the same working drive current. Generally, the brightness of 5000 吋 between the total lighting time will be less than the brightness of 100 吋 between the total lighting times. . Therefore, the predetermined driving current of the illuminating light source 214 can be set to be proportional to the total lighting time of the illuminating light source 214, that is, the longer the total lighting time of the illuminating light source 214 is, the larger the predetermined driving current is, Increase the working drive current to compensate for the light decay phenomenon. The digital-to-analog converter 222 is connected to the storage device 220 and the digital reference value 226 for converting the total lighting time of the at least one illuminating light source 214 into a first electrical parameter. For example, the digital-to-analog converter 222 first sets the digital reference value 226. Converted into an analog signal and converted to an analog signal to a voltage reference unit 230, the voltage reference unit 280 is used to generate a reference voltage signal (first electrical parameter) corresponding to the analog signal, for illustrative purposes, the voltage reference unit 230 is shown as independent Units, however, voltage reference unit 230 may be combined into a digital to analog converter 222, for example, digital to analog converter 222 may be used to convert digital reference value 226 to a first electrical parameter. The comparator 235 is a voltage comparator 235, and is electrically connected to the digital-to-analog converter 222 through the voltage reference unit 230, and is configured to compare the first electrical parameter (eg, the reference voltage value) with the second working operating current of the corresponding illuminating source 214. Electrical parameters (eg, feedback voltage values), and generate a drive signal DRV corresponding to the difference between the two input voltages (eg, drive bias current), and the current regulator 212 is coupled to the comparator 235 and adjusts at least one illumination according to the drive bias current The operating current of the light source 214, in the present embodiment, the current regulator 212 includes a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistor 240 for adjusting the operating drive current of the light source 214, the gate terminal and the voltage of the MOS transistor 240. The comparator 235 is connected, and receives the driving signal DR V, and the source terminal of the MOS transistor 240 is grounded. The drain terminal of the MOS transistor 240 is further connected to the illuminating light source 214 via the diode D. The diode D is also grounded via the bypass capacitor C, and the diode D is used. The illuminating light source 214 protects the controller 260 from malfunction and is drained through the bypass capacitor C with an undesired high frequency current. In a particular application, the current controller further includes a detector 216 coupled to the illumination source 214 and configured to measure a second electrical parameter (eg, a feedback voltage value). The detector 216 is connected to the illuminating light source 214, the detector 216 includes a detector resistor Rs for measuring a voltage FB corresponding to a working drive current flowing through the illuminating light source 214, a detector resistor Rs connected to an input terminal of the voltage comparator 235, and a voltage comparator 23 5 receiving a voltage FB And comparing with a first electrical parameter (eg, a reference voltage value) from the voltage reference unit 230, and generating a drive signal DRV at the gate terminal of the MOS transistor 240, the drive signal DRV being between the voltage F B and the reference voltage value The difference drive MOS transistor 240 has a gate terminal, and the MOS transistor 240 adjusts the operating drive current of the illuminating source 214 according to the driving signal DRV. For example, if the total lighting time of the illuminating source 214 is 5000 吋, the predetermined driving current is 5 A, An electrical parameter (reference voltage value) is 120V, but due to the long time between lighting, the working drive current of the light source 214 is reduced to 3A, and the second electrical parameter (voltage FB) is 100V, then the voltage FB and the reference voltage value are The difference between the two produces a relatively strong drive signal DRV, causing the operating drive current of the illuminating source 214 to increase. Similarly, if the working drive current flows through the illuminating source 214 , The voltage comparator 235 generates a drive signal DRV is relatively weak, causing the work light source driving current 214 is reduced.
[0033] 因此, 可在电流控制器 260中设置计吋器 221以计算总点亮吋间, 电流控制器 26 [0033] Therefore, the meter 221 can be set in the current controller 260 to calculate the total lighting time, the current controller 26
0根据总点亮吋间自动选择对应的数字参考值 226, 并据以增加工作驱动电流以 补偿光衰现象。 0 automatically selects the corresponding digital reference value 226 according to the total lighting time, and accordingly increases the working drive current to compensate for the light decay phenomenon.

The display device can be a liquid crystal display device having at least one illuminating light source 214, and the at least one illuminating light source 214 can include a plurality of series connected L. ED 242 (l)-(n), LED 242 (l)-(n) may be connected in series, in parallel, or in series and in parallel, and the illumination source 214 may include a backlight source for the LCD system, for example LED backlight sources for small LCD systems, LED backlight sources can include a variety of LEDs, such as white LEDs, color LEDs and organic LEDs (OLEDs). In addition, the current controller 260 is connected to at least one illuminating light source 214, and the current controller 260 includes: a counter 221, a storage device 220, a digital to analog converter 222, a comparator 235, and a current regulator 212. The meter 221 calculates the total lighting time of the at least one illuminating light source 214. For example, the calculation of the total lighting time can be initiated by the meter 221 by the driving signal DRV. The storage device 220, the connection meter 221, is configured to store a plurality of digital reference values 226 respectively corresponding to different total lighting turns, wherein each digital reference value 226 corresponds to a predetermined driving current of the at least one illuminating light source 214, the digital reference The value can be derived from the desired operating conditions of the simulated illumination source 214. For example, if the brightness of the illuminating source 214 is proportional to the driving current flowing through the illuminating source 214, then the preferred driving current value corresponding to the desired brightness of the illuminating source 214 It can be derived from the operating conditions that simulate the desired brightness of the illumination source 214, and then the preferred drive current value can be converted to a digital reference value using an analog to digital converter and stored in the storage device 220, since the illuminable component will illuminate in accordance with the total There is a phenomenon of light decay in the daytime, that is, the illuminating light source that is always illuminating between 100 吋 and 5000 吋 in the total lighting time is different under the same working drive current, usually always illuminating 5000 The brightness of the small cymbal will be less than the brightness of 100 吋 between the total lighting hours. Therefore, the predetermined driving current of the illuminating light source 214 can be set to be proportional to the total lighting time of the illuminating light source 214, that is, the longer the total lighting time of the illuminating light source 214 is, the larger the predetermined driving current is, Increase the working drive current to compensate for the light decay phenomenon. The digital-to-analog converter 222 is connected to the storage device 220 and the digital reference value 226 for converting the total lighting time of the at least one illuminating light source 214 into a first electrical parameter. For example, the digital-to-analog converter 222 first sets the digital reference value 226. Converted into an analog signal and converted to an analog signal to current reference unit 232, current reference unit 2 32 is used to generate a reference current signal (first electrical parameter) corresponding to the analog signal, for illustrative purposes, current reference unit 232 is shown as independent Units, however, current reference unit 232 can be combined into digital to analog converter 222, for example, digital to analog converter 222 can be used to convert digital reference value 226 to a first electrical parameter. The comparator 237 is a current comparator 237, and is electrically connected to the digital-to-analog converter 222 through the current reference unit 232, and is configured to compare the first electrical parameter (eg, the reference current value) with the second working operating current of the corresponding illuminating source 214. Electrical parameters (such as: feedback current value), and generate a drive signal DRV corresponding to the difference between the two input currents (such as: drive bias current), and the current regulator 212 is connected to the comparator 235 and adjusts at least one illumination according to the drive bias current The operating current of the light source 214, in the present embodiment, the current regulator 212 includes a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistor 240 for adjusting the operating drive current of the light source 214, the gate terminal and current of the MOS transistor 240. The comparator 237 is connected, and receives the driving signal DR V, and the source terminal of the MOS transistor 240 is grounded. The drain terminal of the MOS transistor 240 is further connected to the illuminating light source 214 via the diode D. The diode D is also grounded via the bypass capacitor C, and the diode D is used. The illuminating light source 214 protects the controller 260 from malfunction and is drained through the bypass capacitor C with an undesired high frequency current. In a particular application, the current controller further includes a detector 216 coupled to the illumination source 214 and configured to measure a second electrical parameter (eg, a feedback current value). The detector 216 is coupled to the illumination source 214, and the detector 216 includes a sense resistor Rs and a pair of MOS transistors 252a and 252b. The gate terminals of the MOS transistors 252a and 252b are grounded, and the drain terminal of the MOS transistor 252b is connected to the gate terminal. The drain terminal of the MOS transistor 252a is connected to the current comparator 237, and when the drive current flowing through the light source 214 is changed, the detector resistance R The voltage FB across the s will also change, and the change in voltage FB causes the gate bias of MOS transistors 252a and 252b to change, causing the current flowing through the drain terminal of MOS transistor 252a to change, when current comparator 2 37 detects After the current flowing through the MOS transistor 252b is different from the reference current value, the current comparator 237 generates a driving signal DRV corresponding to the difference, and the driving signal DRV adjusts the driving current of the current regulator 212, for example, the illuminating source 214 The total lighting time is 5000 吋, the predetermined driving current is 5A, and the first electrical parameter (reference current value) is 5A. However, the operating drive current of the illuminating light source 214 is reduced to 3A due to the long time between lighting periods. The second electrical parameter is 3A, and the difference between the current and the reference current value produces a relatively strong driving signal DRV, causing the working drive current of the illuminating light source 214 to increase. Similarly, if the working driving current flows through the illuminating source 214 If large, the current comparator 237 generates a relatively weak drive signal DRV, causing the operating drive current of the illuminating source 214 to decrease.

The display device is a liquid crystal display device having at least one illuminating light source 214, and the at least one illuminating light source 214 includes a plurality of serially connected LEDs 242 ( L)-(n), LED 242 (l)-(n) may be connected in series, in parallel, or in series and in parallel, and the light source 214 may include a backlight source for the LCD system, for example for small LED backlight source for LCD system, LED backlight source can include various LEDs, such as white LED, color LED and Organic LED (OLED), etc. In addition, the current controller 260 is connected to at least one illuminating light source 214, and the current controller 260 includes: an ambient light sensor 223, a storage device 220, a digital to analog converter 222, a comparator 235, and a current regulator 212. The ambient light sensor 223 senses the ambient brightness in front of the display device. The storage device 2 20 is connected to the ambient light sensor 223, and configured to store a plurality of digital reference values 226 corresponding to different ambient brightnesses, wherein each of the digital reference values 226 corresponds to a predetermined driving current of the at least one light source 214, the digital reference The value can be derived from the desired operating conditions of the simulated illumination source 214. For example, if the brightness of the illuminating source 214 is proportional to the drive current flowing through the illuminating source 214, the preferred drive current value corresponding to the desired brightness of the illuminating source 214 can be derived from the operating conditions that simulate the desired brightness of the illuminating source 214, and then The preferred driving current value can be converted into a digital reference value by using the analog-to-digital converter and stored in the storage device 220. Since the human eye needs a relatively high backlight in a relatively bright environment, the content on the display device can be clearly seen. In a darker environment, too high a backlight can cause discomfort or even damage to the eyes, which in turn requires lower backlighting. The digital reference 226 performs different levels of work drive current control for different ambient brightness levels. Therefore, the predetermined driving current of the illuminating light source 214 can be set to be proportional to the ambient brightness, that is, the brighter the ambient brightness, the larger the predetermined driving current is to increase the working driving current to generate a higher backlight. The digital-to-analog converter 222 is connected to the storage device 220 and the digital reference value 226 for converting the ambient brightness in front of the display device into a first electrical parameter. For example, the digital-to-analog converter 222 first converts the digital reference value 226 into an analog signal and The analog signal is forwarded to the voltage reference unit 230, and the voltage reference unit 230 is used to generate a reference voltage signal (first electrical parameter) corresponding to the analog signal. For the sake of explanation, the voltage reference unit 230 is displayed as a separate unit, however, the voltage reference Units 230 can be combined into a digital to analog converter 2 22, for example, digital to analog converter 222 can be used to convert digital reference value 226 to a first electrical parameter. The comparator 235 is a voltage comparator 235, and is electrically connected to the digital-to-analog converter 222 through the voltage reference unit 230, and is configured to compare the first electrical parameter (eg, the reference voltage value) with the second working operating current of the corresponding illuminating source 214. Electrical parameters (eg, feedback voltage values), and generate a drive signal DRV corresponding to the difference between the two input voltages (eg, drive bias current), and the current regulator 212 is coupled to the comparator 235 and adjusts at least one illumination according to the drive bias current The operating current of the light source 214, in the present embodiment, the current regulator 212 includes a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistor 240 for adjusting the operating drive current of the light source 214, the gate terminal and the voltage of the MOS transistor 240. The comparator 235 is connected and receives the drive signal DRV, and the source terminal of the MOS transistor 240 is grounded, and the drain terminal of the MOS transistor 240 is further passed through the diode D. The illuminating light source 214 is connected. The diode D is also grounded via a bypass capacitor C. The diode D is used to protect the illuminating light source 214 from the failure of the controller 260, and is used to drain the bypass capacitor C to ground with an undesired high frequency current.

The detector 216 is coupled to the illumination source 214. The detector 216 includes a detector resistor Rs for determining the voltage FB corresponding to the operating drive current flowing through the illumination source 214, the detector resistor Rs and the input of the voltage comparator 235. The terminal is connected, the voltage comparator 23 5 receives the voltage FB and compares it with the first electrical parameter (eg, the reference voltage value) from the voltage reference unit 230, and generates the drive signal DRV of the gate terminal of the MOS transistor 240, the drive signal DRV. The gate terminal of the MOS transistor 240 is driven according to the difference between the voltage F B and the reference voltage value, and the MOS transistor 240 adjusts the working driving current of the illuminating light source 214 according to the driving signal DRV, for example, the ambient brightness in front of the display device is 200 nits, then predetermined The driving current is 5A, and the first electrical parameter (reference voltage value) is 120V, but the working driving current of the xenon light source 214 is only 3A, and the second electrical parameter (voltage FB) is 100V, then the voltage FB and the reference voltage value are The difference between the two produces a relatively strong drive signal DRV, causing the operating drive current of the illuminating source 214 to increase to produce a higher backlight. Similarly, If the light source 214 flows through the work of the drive current is too large, the voltage comparator 235 generates a drive signal DRV is relatively weak, causing the work light source driving current 214 is reduced.
[0040] 因此, 可在电流控制器 260中设置环境光感测器 223感测显示装置前方的环境亮 度, 电流控制器 260根据环境亮度自动选择对应的数字参考值 226, 并据以调整 工作驱动电流。  [0040] Therefore, the ambient light sensor 223 can be disposed in the current controller 260 to sense the ambient brightness in front of the display device, and the current controller 260 automatically selects a corresponding digital reference value 226 according to the ambient brightness, and adjusts the work drive accordingly.

The LED backlight source may include various LEDs, such as white LEDs, color LEDs, and organic LEDs. (OLED), etc. In addition, the current controller 260 is connected to at least one illuminating light source 214, and the current controller 260 includes: an operating temperature sensor 224, a storage device 220, a digital to analog converter 222, a comparator 235, and a current regulator 212. The operating temperature sensor 224 senses the operating temperature of the illuminating light source 214. The storage device 220 is connected to the operating temperature sensor 224 and configured to store a plurality of digital reference values 226 respectively corresponding to different operating temperatures, wherein each of the digital reference values 226 corresponds to a predetermined driving current of the at least one illuminating source 214, and the digital reference value It can be derived from the operating conditions required to simulate the illumination source 214. For example, if the brightness of the illuminating source 214 is proportional to the drive current flowing through the illuminating source 214, the preferred drive current value corresponding to the desired brightness of the illuminating source 214 may be derived from the operating conditions that simulate the desired brightness of the illuminating source 214, and then The preferred driving current value can be converted into a digital reference value by using an analog-to-digital converter and stored in the storage device 220. Since the illuminating light source 214 is driven at the same temperature and at the same temperature, the illuminating source 2 14 will be different. Brightness, the higher the operating temperature of the illuminating light source 214, the brighter the brightness, and therefore the operating drive current needs to be reduced. The digital reference 226 performs different degrees of control of the working drive current for different operating temperatures. Therefore, the predetermined driving current of the illuminating light source 214 can be set to be inversely proportional to the operating temperature, that is, the higher the operating temperature, the smaller the predetermined driving current to reduce the operating driving current. The digital-to-analog converter 222 is connected to the storage device 220 and the digital reference value 226 for converting the operating temperature of the illuminating light source 214 into a first electrical parameter. For example, the digital-to-analog converter 222 first converts the digital reference value 226 into an analog signal and The analog signal is forwarded to the voltage reference unit 230, and the voltage reference unit 230 is used to generate a reference voltage signal (first electrical parameter) corresponding to the analog signal. For the sake of explanation, the voltage reference unit 230 is displayed as a separate unit, however, the voltage reference Units 230 can be combined into a digital to analog converter 222, for example, digital to analog converter 222 can be used to convert digital reference value 226 to a first electrical parameter. The comparator 235 is a voltage comparator 235, and is electrically connected to the digital-to-analog converter 222 through the voltage reference unit 230, and is configured to compare the first electrical parameter (eg, the reference voltage value) with the second working operating current of the corresponding illuminating source 214. Electrical parameters (such as: feedback voltage value), and generate a drive signal DRV corresponding to the difference between the two input voltages (such as: drive bias current), and the current regulator 212 is connected to the comparator 235 and adjusts at least one illumination according to the drive bias current Light source 214 In the present embodiment, the current regulator 212 includes a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistor 240 for adjusting the operating drive current of the light source 214, the gate terminal of the MOS transistor 240 and the voltage comparator. 235 is connected, and receives the driving signal DRV, and the source terminal of the MOS transistor 240 is grounded. The drain terminal of the MOS transistor 240 is further connected to the illuminating light source 214 via the diode D. The diode D is also grounded via the bypass capacitor C, and the diode D is used to protect the illuminating light. Light source 214 prevents controller 260 from malfunctioning and is drained through bypass capacitor C with unwanted high frequency currents.

The detector 216 is coupled to the illumination source 214. The detector 216 includes a detector resistor Rs for determining the voltage FB corresponding to the operating drive current flowing through the illumination source 214, the detector resistor Rs and the input of the voltage comparator 235. The terminal is connected, the voltage comparator 23 5 receives the voltage FB and compares it with the first electrical parameter (eg, the reference voltage value) from the voltage reference unit 230, and generates the drive signal DRV of the gate terminal of the MOS transistor 240, the drive signal DRV. The gate terminal of the MOS transistor 240 is driven according to the difference between the voltage F B and the reference voltage value, and the MOS transistor 240 adjusts the operating driving current of the illuminating source 214 according to the driving signal DRV. For example, the operating temperature of the illuminating source 214 is 50 degrees. The predetermined driving current is 5A, and the first electrical parameter (reference voltage value) is 120V, but the working driving current of the xenon light source 214 is only 3A, and the second electrical parameter (voltage FB) is 100V, then the voltage FB and the reference voltage value are The difference between the two produces a relatively strong drive signal DRV, causing the operating drive current of the illuminating source 214 to increase to produce a higher brightness, as in the case, if By operation of the drive current of light source 214 is too large, the voltage comparator 235 generates a drive signal DRV is relatively weak, causing the work light source driving current 214 is reduced.
