High-brightness LED control is required for stable operation, thus the driver and control system must be designed to deliver a constant current to optimize reliability and ensure consistent luminous flux. In this paper, the sliding mode current controller is designed to adjust the illumination density of power LEDs. The controller design model of power LEDs, including its driving circuit, is proposed to realize the dimming control of power LEDs. A buck converter is introduced to drive the power LEDs and reduce the input voltage to a lower level. The sliding mode software controller is implemented to adjust the dimming of power LEDs. The proposed strategy for driving power LEDs is investigated and comparatively studied by experiments.

Color dimming technology has been developed for high color gamut and aggressive power saving. In our new algorithm, we proposed a new concept of 'color class', with which it is possible to control RGB color luminance effectively and exactly. We reached color gamut of 155% of NTSC 1976 and reduced power consumption under 100 watt for 46 inch LCD.

Visible light communication is a communication method using an LED's blinking(ON/OFF), it has a feature of light because of the limit of perception by the human's optic nerve. LED' dimming control used in the VLC system is important factor needed to provide energy saving and life benefits. With advances in VLC system, MIMO technology has received much attention in that it can be obtain channel capacity proportionate to the number of antenna. Therefore, in this paper, with RC method which is one of the MIMO style in VLC system, it is compared communication performance using RZ-OOK, VPPM, MPPM and OPPM. As a result of the simulation was run against this, MPPM works well in terms of Power requirement and OPPM works well in terms of Spectral efficiency and Bandwidth requirement, also it was confirmed that there is a significant impact on the communication performance of each modulation scheme according to the dimming.

In this paper, we aim to investigate the generalization of ZRC codes by performing performance analysis on various coding rates and channel conditions of Zero Reduction Code (ZRC) for dimming control in VLC system. Simulation results show that the ZRC codes with relatively high coding rate achieve the enhanced BER performance as the RMS (Root Mean Square) delay spread value increases in the NLOS channelse. Therefore, it is expected that the designing of the dimming control technology using ZRC in the future visible light communication system will help to determine the coding rate according to the channel state through the analysis result in this study.

조명용 전기 에너지의 효율적인 이용을 위해서는 사용 환경에 따라 조명 기구를 부분 조광(local dimming) 제어할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 LED 면광원의 부분 디지털조광 시스템을 개발하고 부분 조광된 면광원의 발광영역 및 밝기와 조명 대상물의 조도 분포와의 관계를 측정하고 평가하였다. LED 면광원을 16개의 구역으로 나누고 FPGA와 FET 스위치를 이용하여 각 구역의 점등 및 광량을 디지털 제어하였다. 또한 실험용 암실을 만들어 암실 바닥면을 91등분하고 각 지점의 조도를 측정하여 부분 조광제어에 따른 조도 분포를 평가하였다.

This paper presents a fully digital controlled power supply unit for the wireless controlled dimmable LED lighting system. The proposed power supply designed using a fly-back converter, which is directly controlled by a microprocessor. Although the proposed circuit does not sense the AC input current and has not AC input voltage feed-forward, it can achieve a high power factor. The proposed power supply directly regulates the output power for LED loads using the PWM and PFM control of the fly-back converter without additional regulator. For a wireless remote control function, the Zigbee modem is equipped in the proposed power supply. A prototype set-up has been built and tested. Through the experiment with a prototype set-up, the usefulness of the proposed power supply is verified.

In this paper, the performance of Hybrid Dimming control system for Daylighting system is evaluated by accredited tests. The system controls the balance of illuminance of daylight between daylight system and LED light system. It makes the normal illuminance of interior without the effects of weather by controlling the LED depending on the brightness of outside. For the tests, 6 diffusers($600{\times}300mm$) were installed in lighting area($36m^2$) and normal operation of the system sensors were tested about the interference of sunlight. The results of the examinations were satisfied with the criteria of accredited tests. Further research is the verification of energy saving effect by comparing the Hybrid Dimming control system to current artificial light system.

Visible light communications (VLC) using the intensity modulation of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) provides a new communication medium to overcome the shortage of radio spectrum, and allows reuse of LED lighting infrastructures. Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) was introduced to VLC for its merits in mitigating the fading effects resulting from delay spread, and in avoiding low-frequency ambient interference. Noise and clipping are two major factors that degrade the performance of OFDM in VLC. A larger signal easily overcomes noise, but experiences impairment by clipping. Therefore, degradation due to clipping has a trade-off relationship with that due to noise, depending on the signal amplitude of OFDM. In this paper, the optimal signal amplitude in the trade-off is obtained by simulation when the dimming and LED intensity are given. The former indicates a user's requirement for lighting, and the latter represents the channel quality. The required LED intensity-to-noise ratio, as the channel quality that guarantees dimming as well as an adequate bit-error rate (BER), is also discussed.

Visible light communication (VLC) offers communication function in addition to illumination. Because the signal communication capacity per cable is 1,000 times compared to the power line communication (PLC), optical fiber is being advertised as the basis of the information and communication. Also dimming control of LED is an important component needed to provide energy savings and quality of life. This study configured multi-hop VLC system model in a building using optical fiber and analyzed the power performance of two of modulations using dimming techniques. The transmission power and received power were used to compare the power performance in multi-hop VLC environments.

본 논문에서는 LED조명의 휘도조절을 위해 PWM dimming시 발생하는 LED전류의 과도 상태제거를 위한 전류 제어 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 LED전류 제어 기법은 과도상태가 존재하지 않으므로 Dimming신호의 동작 시비율이 매우 작은 영역에서도 전류 제어를 통해 낮은 휘도를 정밀하게 표현할 수 있다. 또한 전류의 Overshoot이 발생하지 않으므로 휘도를 일정하게 유지할 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 LED전류 제어 기법의 동작원리를 설명하고, LED휘도 조절을 위한 전원시스템을 구현하여 PSIM 을 통해 제안된 기법의 타당성 및 우수성을 검증한다.
