A new LED lamp driving technology with a charge pump instead of a conventional DC-DC converter is proposed. The proposed driving technology is used to control the LED lamp with digital dimming. The power loss in the zener diodes is reduced because the charging process of the capacitors is selectively controlled according to the digital control signal. From the experimental results, when dimming four LED lamps simultaneously, the average driving circuit efficiency of 89% is obtained, regardless of the dimming level. White light with color temperature over a range of 2800~7200K was produced by dimming control of red, green, blue and amber LED lamps with the proposed driving circuit. The characteristics of the driving circuits can be changed depending on the characteristics of the R, G, B, and A LED lamps. The efficiency of the driving circuits up to a maximum 89% can also be obtained depending on the combination of LED lamps. The driving technology with digital dimming control for LED lamps proposed in this paper would be effective for obtaining high efficiency in LED driving circuits and remote control of LED lamps using digital communications.

In this paper, a new LED driving circuit which is able to control dimming of LED is proposed using charge pump. The proposed LED driving circuit steps down the input voltage to operate LED without DC-DC converter. The operation of this driving circuit is verified by P-Spice simulation, and the characteristics of the driving circuit is measured and evaluated in the experiments. As a result, the driving circuit efficiency of 88.5[%] is obtained when all LEDs are turned on by digital control method at the highest dimming level(255/255).

LEDs have been widely used in lighting displays, automobiles, and airplanes owing to their excellent light output characteristics and long lifespan. Though LEDs are manufactured under the same process, variations in impurity concentrations cause electrical deviation among LEDs. The resulting electrical deviation can not only reduce the life time of the LED but also cause non-uniform luminance of LEDs connected in parallel. LED driving circuit is required to solve these problems. In this paper, we propose a LED driving system using Y-type current balancing transformer to maximize the efficiency of the system by removing output stage Schottky diodes. Experimental results are presented to verify the performance of proposed LED driving system that is applied to 80 W LED modules.

In this paper, the constant current controller is designed to regulate the driving current of a power LED. The controller design model of the power LED including its driving circuit is proposed to design the constant current controller. A buck converter is also introduced to drive the power LED. The PI-based digital controller is implemented to validate the proposed strategy for the power LED driving.

In this paper, we manufactured high flux LED module with Through Hole type. and we measured electrical, optical and thermal properties by driving type. LED module was composed with 8*8 arrangement form by using the glass epoxy PCB. Also, we measured the most suitable driving type with static voltage driving type and static current driving type. As a result, the LED Module of static voltage driving type showed high luminance characteristic than the static current driving type by suppling enough bias. However, the static current driving type showed more stable driving properties because of fast decreasing properties about brightness by increasing the surrounding temperature in the static voltage driving type. Also, due to Quantum confined Stark effect from piezoelectric field, the wavelength of bule peak shifted to long wavelength direction by increasing the surrounding temperature in the static voltage driving type.

According to recent technological developments in high-power LEDs, the stage lighting is one of most important areas to apply power LED system. Moving light for color rendering of stage uses the RGBW(red, green, blue, white) color mixing method. LED moving light system needs to have a wide range of dimming control as enough to operate at very low power. Also LED dimming system should not be induced color-shift and flicker in camera. This paper is experimentally verified the LED Moving Light driving circuit of 200Watt level designed to satisfy the above characteristics which applied the DC current-controlled and PWM mixed dimming method.

In this paper, wireless power transfer system using the magnetic resonance was designed and applied to LED lighting for implementation of wireless lighting. This lighting was made by the converted DC driving type and the direct AC driving type. In the former, transferred AC power was rectified into DC and regulated to the specified voltage value, which leads to produce the loss at the rectifying and regulating circuit. In the latter, wireless-transferred AC power was directly applied to LED, which get rid of the loss derived from the additional circuit. For the efficiency-comparison between the former and the latter, the power at each stage was measured when the same optical output radiated from LED lighting part. The result revealed that the direct AC driving type had 18% higher efficiency than the DC driving type and confirmed that LED lighting using magnetic resonance wireless power transfer system can be efficient by direct AC power supply. And the direct AC driving type had the simple circuit structure and the simple LED lighting formation, so this can leads to various application.

A novel white-LED (light emitting diode) backlight system for 46"LCD TVs which involves the average current controlled X-Y channel driving method is proposed, which is composed of 1 converter and row and column channel switches. In the conventional X-Y channel driving driven with a constant voltage source, the driving current of LED increases because the threshold voltage of LED decreases when LED temperature goes up. To maintain the luminance of backlight constant, the average current controlled X-Y channel driving will be employed. Finally the results are confirmed by experimental results.

Although LEDs have been used in various applications with improving the brightness and luminous efficacy, the electrical and optical characteristics of high power LED varies at different temperature and starting time. In this paper, optimal heat sink and apparatus design were conducted using IR camera and ICEPAK on the LED bulb consisting with fourteen LED array. The temperatures of heat sink and LED device of the designed LED bulb without cooling pan were $74^{\circ}C\;and\;96.8^{\circ}C$, respectively, showing in good themal characteristics. For high efficiency driving circuit of LED array adopted optimal heat sink design, driving circuits of constant voltage and current circuits were suggested and fabricated. As a result the efficacy of all driving circuits showed more than 20 lm/W. Also, the constant current circuits are suitable for signal lamp, hallway lamp, and flash lamp having short operating time(about 30 min). On the other hand, a reading light and indoor lamp having long operating time can be controlled by constant voltage circuit.

밝기가 동작 전류에 비례하는 LED 조명은 다수의 LED를 직렬 연결하여 정전류원으로 구동하는 방식을 널리 사용하고 있다. 이러한 방식에서는 일부 LED가 고장으로 개방되면 전류 통로가 끊어져 직렬 연결된 모든 LED가 꺼지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 LED 동작 전압보다 약 0.4V 정도 높은 항복전압을 갖는 제너 다이오드를 개별 LED와 병렬로 연결하여 LED 고장 시 전류 우회로를 확보하므로 이러한 문제점을 해결하는 회로를 설계하였다. 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 LED 정상 동작 시에는 제너 다이오드로 전류가 거의 흐리지 않고, LED 고장 시에는 제너 다이오드가 안정적으로 전류 우회로로 동작함을 확인하였다.
