Automotive headlamp with LED matrix exploits low-cost low-speed serial buses such as I2C and SPI for digital LED control. When headlamp resolution increases, LED control data significantly increases to exceed capacity of control bus. This paper proposes HLCP (Headlamp LED Control Protocol), a novel LED maxtrix headlamp protocol. The proposed protocol exploits dedicated instructions to control many LEDs simultaneously, so it can control much more LEDs than conventional control buses although it is basically based on I2C bus. It is designed and verified in Verilog HDL. Simulation results show that HLCP can control LED matrix headlamp more efficiently than I2C and SPI.

The LED lighting used spot-light illuminate the limited surface. So it is a key-point to condense wide emission angle of high power light emitting diodes (LEDs) to narrow that angle. In this paper, the secondary optics was designed by lens-makers formula for concentration rays of LED into specific region. So, it simulated the optics that designed by lens makers-formula in the optical design program, LightTools. And then, show the p propriety of lens design utilizing simulation result, luminous intensity, emission angle.

This paper describes the realization of the full-color to the degree of nearest white light by compounding high brightness Red, Green and Blue LEDs with appropriate proportional index. Once these three colors; red, green and blue are mixed, they are genearlly additive mixing and produce white light color contrasted to negative mixing. The luminous efficiency is defined as the product of the efficiency(lm/w), which indicates the degree of perceptual response by the human eye to unit energy(W) of light emitted by an active display devises and as the conversion efficiency of the device from electric power consumed to optical energy produced. We will deduce the each number of LEDs theoretically and design several shapes of LED displays for the full-color. Finally theoretical predictions will be compared with the measured data with different type of display designs.

We propose a multi-channel current-balancing single switch light-emitting diode (LED) driver for a 3D TV. Conventional LED drivers require non-isolated DC/DC converters as many as the number of LED channels, whereas the proposed LED driver needs only one power switch and several balancing capacitors instead of expensive non-isolated DC/DC converters. Therefore, the proposed driver features a simple structure with low cost and high efficiency. In particular, because its power switch can be turned off under the zero-current switching condition, the proposed driver has desirable advantages, such as improved electromagnetic interference characteristics and high efficiency. Moreover, it only uses a small number of DC blocking capacitors with no additional active devices for the current balancing of multi-channel LEDs. Therefore, the proposed driver exhibits high reliability and cost effectiveness. To confirm the validity of the proposed driver, we perform a theoretical analysis and present design considerations and experimental results obtained from a prototype that is applicable to a 46" LED TV.

In this paper, an LED lighting system that is capable of automatic or maunal dimming control using a ultrasonic sensor and Bluetooth wireless communication technology is presented. The LED lighting system consists of a ultrasonic sensor, microcontroller unit, Bluetooth wireless communication, LED driver, and LED light source. By using the implemented LED lighting system sample, it is shown that the automatic and manual dimming control is realized. By using the ultrasonic sensor, the LED lighting is automatically brighter or dimmer depending on the distance between the sensor and an object. When using a smartphone that includes Bluetooth wireless communication function, one can not only manually control the brightness of the LED lighting from level 1 to 10, but also monitor the distance between the sensor and object on the smartphone.

In this paper, we had design the module of the LED-based media transmission mechanics visible light communication system. To implement the media transmission system through visible light communication transmitter, receiver module the using high brightness, we proposed visible light communication system to implement communication distance of up to a maximum transmitter-receiver distance using a variable PD sensor to the receiver and 1~12 the LED light-emitting device to the transmitter. It was increased efficiency of approximately 20% by measuring the performance during lens wearing or not wearing on the LED module to improve the efficiency of the media transmission system.

This paper is to improve the problem of the LED dimming control system using the conventional PWM and DAC method. The conventional PWM method controls the average current to switch dimming signal. This method generates the flicker when controlling at a low current. In order to solve the problem, this system prevents the flicker with the DAC method. The LED is lit at micro-current flowing in the LED. And offset voltage is generated in the output of the DAC when the DAC output is very low voltage as 0V. This was resolved by the voltage drop of the output voltage to construct a negative offset circuit. In addition, the LED current can't flow as set values because of overheating of FET. In order to solve the problem, the 16 bits ADC in the microprocessor is a more accurate current control receives the LED current in comparison with the set value. Therefore, the LED dimming control system proposed in this paper showed the accurate and reliable more than conventional systems.
