In this paper, a power management circuit was designed to drive the emergency lighting LED in the underground facility for public utilities using magnetic energy harvest. The magnetic energy harvest consists of a harvest elements and power management circuits. The proposed circuit was made of a rectifier, a battery charging circuit, and an LED driving circuit. In normal times, the battery is charged with the harvested power, and in the event of an emergency, the energy stored in the battery is used to drive the LED. As a result of the measurement, it took two minutes to charge the 47 mF capacitor. This is the amount of power that can drive an LED for emergency lighting for about three and a half minutes. Through this, it was confirmed that the power management circuit for magnetic energy harvest proposed in this paper can be used as an emergency lighting LED-driven power device in an underground facility for public utilities where it is difficult to draw separate power.

When Flat Panel Display (FPD) is made with backlight module, such as LED TV, it inherently suffers from the non-uniform backlight luminance problem that results in un-even brightness distribution throughout the TV screen. If the luminance of each pixel location of a TV screen as a function of the driving voltage can be measured, it can be used to compensate the non-uniformity of the backlight module. We use a carefully calibrated imaging system to take pictures of a TV screen at different levels of brightness and generate the compensation functions for the driving circuitry to correct the luminance level at each pixel location. Making use of the fact that the luminance of the screen is normally brightest at around the center of the screen and gradually decreases toward the border of the screen, the luminance of the whole TV screen is approximated by a mathematical function of the pixel locations. The parameters of the function are computed in the least square sense by the values of both the pixel luminance sent from the driving circuit and the grayscale value measured from the image taken by the imaging system. To justify the correction system, a simple second order polynomial function is used to approximate the luminance across the screen. When the driving circuit voltage is corrected according to the measured function, the variance of the screen luminance is reduced to one tenth of the one measured from the un-corrected TV screen.

LED has been great attentions in lighting industry because of its long life-time, high efficiency, excellent light output characteristics. However, the life-time of the LED driving system is decreased because of the electrolytic capacitor which is used in the power conversion system for driving LED lighting. Therefore the capacitance reduction methods have been studied to replace an electrolytic capacitor with film or tantalum capacitor. This paper presents the Single stage PFC flyback converter with the simplified third harmonic current injection circuit to reduce output capacitance and the proposed system is theoretically analyzed and verified through the experiment.

본 논문은 다중 채널 LED(Light Emitting Diode) 구동을 위한 모듈형 전류 평형 회로를 제안한다. 기존 방식은 DC/DC 컨버터단과 다중 채널 LED 전류제어를 위해 각 채널마다 일정한 전류 제어를 하는 LED 드라이버단의 직렬 연결로 구성된다. 하지만 제안회로는 캐패시터의 전하평형원리에 의해 단일 채널 전류 제어로 모든 채널의 LED 전류를 동일하게 제어할 수 있어 DC/DC 컨버터와 LED 드라이버단을 하나로 통합한 단일 전력단 LED 구동회로 구성이 가능하며, 이는 회로구성의 단일화로 소자수 및 사이즈의 소형화가 가능하다. 또한 수동소자만으로 이루어진 모듈형 회로로써 모듈의 추가에 따라 요구되는 LED 채널 수 만큼 다채널 모듈로 확장할 수 있다. 제안회로의 타당성 검증을 위해 1kW급 LED 구동회로에 적용한 시뮬레이션 결과를 제시한다.

In this paper, we designed a power supply AC LED driving device which can display uniform power consumption and light efficiency even when AC power of different size is applied. By setting input voltages and deviations of different sizes, it is confirmed that the electric light characteristics are the same at two input voltages. In addition, according to peak voltage of AC power, improper lighting caused in specific LED section is improved, and LED lighting of all sections is implemented in all commercial AC input voltage.

$8{\sim}12$인치의 원형(또는 사각) PCB 기판에 수백 개의 고휘도 반도체 발광 다이오드(Light Emitting Diode. LED)와 구동 회로로 구성되는 LED 교통 신호등은 특정 파장대의 단색광을 발광하므로, 기존의 백열전구식 신호등에 비해 시인성이 좋고, 80 % 이상의 에너지 절약이 가능하다. 그러나 LED는 주위 온도에 따라 밝기가 변화하는 특성이 있다. 신호등은 기능상 외부 온도의 영향 없이 항상 일정한 광도를 유지해야 하므로, 본 논문에서는 외부 온도의 변화에 관계없이 일정한 광출력을 유지할 수 있는 LED 구동회로를 설계한다 이를 위해 정전압 및 정전류로 구동되는 LED의 온도에 따른 광출력 특성 실험이 수행되고, 이러한 데이터들을 바탕으로 정광출력 LED 신호등 구동회로가 설계되고 그 성능을 평가한다.

In multi-string light-emitting diode (LED) driver system, current balancing is crucial because the brightness of LED is directly related to its forward current. This paper presents a novel LED current balancing topology using current-fed Z-source converter. With the proposed structure, currents flowing through two LED strings are automatically balanced owing to the charge-balance condition on capacitors. Operation of the proposed converter is simple and the proposed converter uses only one active switch and one diode. Moreover, low-side gate driving can be used to operate the active switch. To verify the operation of the proposed LED current balancing converter, a prototype is built and tested with different numbers of LEDs.

This paper presents a LLC resonant controller IC for secondary side control without external active devices to achieve low profile and low cost LED back light units. A gate driving transformer is adopted to isolate the primary side and the secondary side instead of an opto-coupler. A new integrated dimming circuitry is proposed to improve the dynamic current control characteristic and the current density of a LED for the brightness modulation of a large screen LCD. A dual-slope clock generator is proposed to overcome the frequency error due to the under shoot in conventional approaches. This chip is fabricated using 0.35 ${\mu}m$ BCD technology and the die size is $2{\times}2\;mm^2$. The frequency range of the clock generator is from 50 kHz to 500 kHz and the range of the dead time is from 50 ns to 2.2 ${\mu}s$. The efficiency of the LED driving circuit is 97 % and the current consumption is 40 mA for a 100 kHz operation frequency from a 15 V supply voltage.
