Recently, the LED lighting is widely used to illumination purpose due to its high luminous efficiency and the long life time. However, the light power and lifetime is reduced by junction temperature increment of LED. So it is important to measure the junction temperature accurately. In this paper, we proposed a new design and implementation method of high power LED junction temperature measurement circuit. The proposed circuit has two current sources which are a driving current source and a measurement is verified by experiment, and the result shows that the proposed circuit is appropriate to practical use.

LED(Light Emitting Diode) has the defects of low efficiency and reducement of life cycle as its temperature increases. This research is about an efficient temperature control of the LED. For LED temperature control, it is shown that a heat sink, fan, a one-chip microprocessor and the PID control algorithm are a good cooling system through experiments. Finally. by using the fan as a cooling device and controlling it appropriately, it is proved that the intensity of illumination and the desired temperature can be achieved with consumption of only 2% of the driving power of the LED system through control experiments.

In this paper, we developed an optimal flicker-free control algorithm operating within 16 luminance implementation bits and 512 brightness implementation pulses irrespective of LPM(LED Pixel Matrix) module configuration on dynamic driving method of LED display system. As an implementation method, we turned the refresh rate up by increasing the number of scans through multiple shift-latches which were devised from conventional shift-latch scheme for full color representation. As a result, the LED display system of this method has no flicker phenomenon because of the novel refresh rate higher than 2,040[Hz] incomparable to 240~480[Hz] of conventional system.

Autonomous cars require the integration of multiple communication systems for driving safety. Many carmakers unveil mirrorless concept cars aiming to replace rear and sideview mirrors in vehicles with camera monitoring systems, which eliminate blind spots and reduce risk. This paper presents optical vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications for autonomous mirrorless cars. The flicker-free light emitting diode (LED) light sources, providing illumination and data transmission simultaneously, and a high speed camera are used as transmitters and a receiver in the OCC link, respectively. The rear side vehicle transmits both future action data and vehicle type data using a headlamp or daytime running light, and the front vehicle can receive OCC data from the camera that replaces side mirrors so as not to prevent accidents while driving. Experimental results showed that action and vehicle type information were sent by LED light sources successfully to the front vehicle's camera via the OCC link and proved that OCC-based V2V communications for mirrorless cars can be a viable solution to improve driving safety.

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.

This paper proposes a novel RGB-LED (light emitting diode) backlight system, for 32" LCD TVs, accompanied by a new X-Y Channel drive method in which its row and column switches control the individual division screen. This proposed driving method is able to produce division drive effects such as image improvement and reduced power consumption. Not only that, the number of converter needed in this method, that is 1 with $4^*$(m+n) switches, is much fewer than that of cluster drive method, that is $4^*(m^*n)$.

LED는 반도체 기술 향상에 따라 현대에 이르러 실내 외 조명으로 사용되기 이르렀다. 하지만 장수명을 갖는 구동회로의 전해 커패시터 수명이 짧기 때문에 LED 조명 자체 수명이 저감되어 질 수 있다. 수명이 짧은 전해 커패시터를 반영구적인 필름 커패시터나 마일러 커패시터로 대치하기 위해 구동회로에 커패시터 용량 저감 기법을 적용되어야 한다. 본 논문은 LED 구동회로의 PFC Bulk 커패시터 용량을 감소시키기 위해 3고조파를 입력전류에 주입하는 방법을 논의하였으며, 이를 시뮬레이션을 통하여 분석하였다.
