A TRIAC dimmable LED driver with a wide tuning range and a two-stage uniform dimming scheme is proposed in this paper. To solve the restricted dimming range problem caused by the limited conduction ratio of TRIAC dimmers, a conduction ratio compensation technique is introduced, which can increase the output current up to the rated output current when the TRIAC dimmer turns to the maximum conduction ratio. For further optimization, a two-stage uniform dimming diagram with a rapid dimming curve and a slow dimming curve is designed to make the LED driver regulated visually uniform in the whole adjustable range of the TRIAC dimmer. The proposed control chip is fabricated in a TSMC $0.35{\mu}m$ 5V/650V CMOS/LDMOS process, and verified on a 21V/500mA circuit prototype. The test results show that, in the 90V/60Hz~132V/60Hz ac input range, the voltage linear regulation is 2.6%, the power factor is 99.5% and the efficiency is 83%. Moreover, in the dimming mode, the dimming rate is less than 1% when the maximum dimming current is 516mA and the minimum dimming current is only about 5mA.

This study based on the experimental data on the daylight responsive dimming systems performance. The purpose of this study increases the energy-saving effects by reducing excessive intensity of radiation of artificial lighting through analyzing incident daylight. The photosensor sends amounts of detected luminous flux to digital control unit(DCU) as a signal and then, it can decide dimming ratios, by received a proper dimming signal from DCU. Generally it is effective to control artificial lighting with the different control ratio of each row by setting a photosensor as same numbers and rows as artificial lighting. However, it is ineffective to do in initial costs of systems aspect in offices. By analyzing the data of this performance and finding regular ration between photosensors. we will execute different dimming ratios to each row of artificial lighting by a single photosensor.

본 연구는 실내로 유입되는 주광을 조광제어시스템의 적용에 효율적으로 활용하여 초과한 인공조명의 광량을 줄임으로써 에너지 절약의 효과를 높이고자 함이다. 광센서는 탐지된 광속량을 신호로 보내고 그에 알맞은 제어신호를 받아 조광율을 결정하는데, 일반적으로 사무공간에서 인공조명의 개수나 행수만큼 광센서가 설치가 되어 조명기구의 각 구역마다 다른 조광율로 조광제어를 하는 것이 인공조명 제어측면에서는 효율적이나, 시스템 설치비용측면에서는 비효율적이다. 그러므로 실험과 시뮬레이션을 통하여 미리 유입되는 주광 분포를 파악하고 조광율을 분석한다면, 하나의 광센서 설치로써 인공조명 구역간의 각기 다른 조광율로 제어가능하다.

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are modulated using a square wave pulse sequence for flicker prevention and dimming control in visible light communication (VLC). In a VLC transmitter, the high and low bits of the non-return-to-zero (NRZ) data are converted to two square waves of different frequencies, which continue for a finite time defined by the fill ratio in an NRZ bit time. As the average optical power was kept constant and independent of data transmission, the LED was flicker-free. Dimming control is carried out by changing the fill ratio of the square wave in the NRZ bit time. In the experiments, the illumination of the LED light was controlled in the range of approximately 19.2% to 96.2% of the continuous square wave modulated LED light. In the VLC receiver, a high-pass filter combined with a latch circuit was used to recover the transmitted signal while preventing noise interference from adjacent lighting lamps.

Local dimming driving has advantages in reducing power consumption and improving contrast ratio(CR). In an LED backlight unit(BLU), many small LED blocks are implemented in 2-dimmensional space, and luminance of the blocks is controlled by a local dimming algorithm. However, such a BLU can induce various recognizable artifacts. A new novel algorithm is proposed for exact block luminance calculation to correct local dimming artifacts. Also we discuss modified low-gray-level dimming to achieve much aggressive power saving in a local dimming BLU system.

유도방전을 이용한 무전극 램프는 전극을 필요로 하지 않기 때문에 긴 수명을 갖으며 안정기 출력의 변화에 대해서도 매우 강한 특성을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 무전극 램프 조광제어를 위한 두 가지 새로운 알고리즘을 제안하였고 이를 적용한 공진형 인버터에 대하여 기술하였다. 제안된 두 가지 조광제어 알고리즘은 주로 LCD 백라이트의 조광제어에 적용되는 버스트 디밍 기법을 기초로 한다. 제안된 두 가지 방식중 하나는 개선된 버스트 디밍 기법으로 간단한 디지털 논리회로를 이용한 제어회로를 통해 $5\%$ 단위의 시비율로 조도조절이 가능한 방식이며, 나머지 하나는 버스트 PWM 평균 시비율 제어 기법으로 다소 복잡한 제어회로를 통해 $1\%$ 단위의 시비율로 조도조절이 가능한 방식이다. 본 논문에서는 100W급 무전극 램프를 대상으로 실시한 실험결과를 통해 제안된 조광제어 알고리즘의 유효성을 입증하였다.

본 논문에서는 고전압 공정기술을 이용하여 고속 디밍제어가 가능한 고출력-LED 드라이버를 설계하였다. 제안하는 고출력-LED 드라이버는 디밍신호를 통해서 LED에 필요한 전류량을 예측하고, 예측된 전류의 일부분을 인덕터 전류로 피드백시키는 방법을 사용하여서, LED 전류 상승시간이 최소화되도록 설계하였다. 기존 고출력-LED 드라이버의 최소 LED 전류 상승시간은 $3{\mu}s$로 제한된 반면 제안하는 고출력-LED 드라이버의 최소 LED전류 상승시간은 1/10 정도로 감소되었다. 설계된 LED 드라이버는 $0.35{\mu}m$ 60V BCDMOS 2-poly 4-metal 공정으로 제작되었으며 측정 결과 입력전압 12V, 9개의 백색 LED, 353mA LED전류, 1KHz 디밍주파수에서 LED전류 상승시간과 전력전달효율은 각각 240ns, 93.7%로 측정되었다.

This paper presents smart regional contrast enhancement technique of partitioned image for local dimming backlight on small-sized mobile display to reach two goals. One is to save the power consumption, and the other to improve contrast ratio of display image. Recently new advanced method is proposed, named local dimming method, that backlight LED is positioned on backside of the display panel. So it is important to partition an image by sub blocks and then post-processing independantly. This means regional contrast enhancement. After partitioning, we compare the mean luminance(Y) value of each sub-block image with the one of original whole image. If some blocks have the mean value lower than the one of whole image, they are processed with the proposed method and others are bypassed. Simultaneously the information of the processed blocks are transferred to BLC(Backlight LED Controller). And then the supply current of each backlight LED is reduced to realize the contrast ratio enhancement and at the same time to power consumption reduction. In addition, we verify this proposed method is free from blocking artifacts.

For several years, many researchers have proposed LED backlight dimming technology for low power consumption and high contrast ratio. One of the major issues plaguing RGB LED with 2D dimming technology is color shift. This undesirable variation makes it difficult to use RGB LED as light sources in the backlight system. This paper describes the useful method of the optical feedback system for 2D dimming RGB LED backlight. The test results show that our proposed method is very suitable for the 2D dimming technology.
