The conventional dimming control methods of LED (Light-emitting dioades) include Analog, PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), and FM (Frequency Modulation) Control. Analog dimming is controlled by adjusting forward current of Power LED. Although Analog dimming is possible to control linearly the brightness levels on a whole range (0%~100%), it comes into existence a variation of wavelength by changing the Power LED's forward current. PWM dimming has achieved by varying in duty of full current flowing to the Power LED. Generally, PWM dimming doesn't make variation of wavelength but have difficulty with adjusting the linear brightness level between 0% and 10%. FM dimming method is on the same wavelength as PWM dimming, however, it has problem of flickering at low level of dimming. This paper propose a efficient dimming control method of Power LED in order to overcome the disadvantages of the above mentioned methods. We apply to Analog method in low level of dimming control and use PWM method in dimming range from 10% to 100%. For the experiment, we design and implement a circuit and test the proposed method. Consequently, we can control the linear brightness of Power LED across the whole range and get the constant wave at different dimming level. The experimental results show the benefits of the proposed method.

높은 효율과 긴 수명의 장점들을 갖는 LED는 최근 여러 분야에서 그 쓰임새가 부각되고 있다. 그중 조명용 LED는 일반적인 전원을 바로 사용할 수 없기 때문에 PFC을 비롯한 DC/DC 컨버터 동작을 위한 부가적인 구동회로가 필요하다. 이러한 구동회로는 LED의 장점을 극대화하기 위하여 고효율 달성 및 일정한 휘도를 유지할 수 있도록 설계되도록 요구되어진다. 따라서 본 논문은 스위칭 손실이 보다 적은 LLC 공진 컨버터를 LED 조명용 구동회로에 적용하여 효율을 높이고, 디밍 제어가 가능하도록 구성하여 이를 스위칭 주파수 변화에 따른 동작특성을 분석하였다.

본 논문에서는 디밍으로 인한 32W 형광등의 수명특성과 동정을 실험을 통해서 분석하였다. 기존의 형광 램프용 전자식 안정기 내부의 인버터 공진특성을 이용해 주파수를 변환시켜 소비전력을 낮추면서 형광등의 조도를 조정하였다. 조정된 형광등의 안정기를 소비전력의 퍼센트별로 분류해서 조도특성을 위주로 수명의 측정을 실시하였다. 수명특성 실험은 2개월간 실험실 내에 형광등을 설치 할 수 있는 실험대를 제작하였으며 주기적으로 형광등의 주위온도와 조도의 측정을 실시하였다. 본 논문에서 분석한 형광등의 수명특성 결과는 향후 형광등 전용 디밍 전자식 안정기 설계 시 활용 될 수 있을 것이다.

본 논문에서는 250W 메탈핼라이드 램프용 전자식 안정기의 구조 및 디밍 방법에 따른 특성을 비교하였다. 측정 및 분석된 안정기는 PFC, 벅 컨버터, Full-bridge 인버터의 3단 구조를 가진 안정기와 PFC, Half-bridge 인버터의 2단 구조를 가진 안정기이다. 3단 구조를 가진 안정기의 경우 벅 컨버터의 듀티 조절하여 출력 전력을 제어하며, 2단 구조 안정기의 경우는 구동 주파수를 조절하여 전력을 제어한다. 본 논문에서는 각각의 전력제어 방식을 통한 램프 디밍 시의 출력의 특성을 측정 및 분석하였으며, 조도 조절 범위는 $100%{\sim}35%$까지 구현하였다.

기존의 형광 램프용 전자식 안정기는 램프와 안정기의 수명 연장을 가져다주었다. 형광 램프용 전자식 안정기는 기존의 60Hz로 형광등을 점등하는 자기식 안정기에 비해 향상된 점등과 에너지를 절약 측면에서 큰 장점을 보이고 있다. 형광 램프의 조광방식으로 크게 3가지 방식으로 나뉘는데 위상제어를 이용한 방식, PWM(Pulse Width Modulation)방식, 저전압 제어방식이 있다. 본 논문은 기존의 사용 방법과는 달리 안정기 내부의 인버터 공진 특성을 이용하여 주파수를 변환시켜 형광 램프를 디밍하였다.

This paper presents an impact of flicker for various binary modulations of visible light communication (VLC) under dimming requirement. While previous approaches consider the statistics of the signal that cannot capture contributions of dynamic impacts of flicker, the power spectral density is evaluated for various VLC transmission schemes of dimming support. This enables to compare transmission schemes with the contribution of low and intermediate frequency components to flicker. Numerical results show that analog dimming has advantages over other techniques in terms of flicker and signal processing with waveforms and symbol distribution allows to mitigate flicker effects.

There is a noticeable hum from the inverter board of LCD TV when in operation. In this study, we investigate the source and the characteristics of this noise for the inverter board of LCD TV using measurement of vibration and noise. Modal analysis of vibration and noise is visualized for identification of noise sources and transmission vibration. The main source of noise was the transformer of the LCD TV inverter. A noise reduction was achieved by damping the structural elements.

This paper presents a high dimming ratio Power-LED driver IC with high power which is capable of controlling LEDs. In order to accomplish a high dimming ratio LED driver, the preloading inductor current methodology is proposed for the power stage of the proposed method to achieve the fast transient response time during the Power-LED load switching. The information containing the current flowing on the LEDs can be utilized to predict the amount of the current on the inductor. The minimum LED current rising time of existing high dimming ratio Power-LED driver is limited by $3{\mu}s$, however that of the proposed high dimming ratio Power-LED driver is reduced about 1/10. The LED driver is implemented with 0.35um 60V BCDMOS 2-poly 4-metal process. The measurement results show that the proposed LED driver system features the minimum rising time as small as 240ns at the dimming frequency of 1KHz with a 12V of input voltage, nine white LEDs and 353mA of LED current. The LED rising time and power conversion efficiency of the chip are measured to be 240ns and 93.72%, respectively.
