본 논문에서는 고전압 공정기술을 이용하여 고속 디밍제어가 가능한 고출력-LED 드라이버를 설계하였다. 제안하는 고출력-LED 드라이버는 디밍신호를 통해서 LED에 필요한 전류량을 예측하고, 예측된 전류의 일부분을 인덕터 전류로 피드백시키는 방법을 사용하여서, LED 전류 상승시간이 최소화되도록 설계하였다. 기존 고출력-LED 드라이버의 최소 LED 전류 상승시간은 $3{\mu}s$로 제한된 반면 제안하는 고출력-LED 드라이버의 최소 LED전류 상승시간은 1/10 정도로 감소되었다. 설계된 LED 드라이버는 $0.35{\mu}m$ 60V BCDMOS 2-poly 4-metal 공정으로 제작되었으며 측정 결과 입력전압 12V, 9개의 백색 LED, 353mA LED전류, 1KHz 디밍주파수에서 LED전류 상승시간과 전력전달효율은 각각 240ns, 93.7%로 측정되었다.

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are modulated using a square wave pulse sequence for flicker prevention and dimming control in visible light communication (VLC). In a VLC transmitter, the high and low bits of the non-return-to-zero (NRZ) data are converted to two square waves of different frequencies, which continue for a finite time defined by the fill ratio in an NRZ bit time. As the average optical power was kept constant and independent of data transmission, the LED was flicker-free. Dimming control is carried out by changing the fill ratio of the square wave in the NRZ bit time. In the experiments, the illumination of the LED light was controlled in the range of approximately 19.2% to 96.2% of the continuous square wave modulated LED light. In the VLC receiver, a high-pass filter combined with a latch circuit was used to recover the transmitted signal while preventing noise interference from adjacent lighting lamps.

For several years, many researchers have proposed LED backlight dimming technology for low power consumption and high contrast ratio. One of the major issues plaguing RGB LED with 2D dimming technology is color shift. This undesirable variation makes it difficult to use RGB LED as light sources in the backlight system. This paper describes the useful method of the optical feedback system for 2D dimming RGB LED backlight. The test results show that our proposed method is very suitable for the 2D dimming technology.

유도방전을 이용한 무전극 램프는 전극을 필요로 하지 않기 때문에 긴 수명을 갖으며 안정기 출력의 변화에 대해서도 매우 강한 특성을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 무전극 램프 조광제어를 위한 두 가지 새로운 알고리즘을 제안하였고 이를 적용한 공진형 인버터에 대하여 기술하였다. 제안된 두 가지 조광제어 알고리즘은 주로 LCD 백라이트의 조광제어에 적용되는 버스트 디밍 기법을 기초로 한다. 제안된 두 가지 방식중 하나는 개선된 버스트 디밍 기법으로 간단한 디지털 논리회로를 이용한 제어회로를 통해 $5\%$ 단위의 시비율로 조도조절이 가능한 방식이며, 나머지 하나는 버스트 PWM 평균 시비율 제어 기법으로 다소 복잡한 제어회로를 통해 $1\%$ 단위의 시비율로 조도조절이 가능한 방식이다. 본 논문에서는 100W급 무전극 램프를 대상으로 실시한 실험결과를 통해 제안된 조광제어 알고리즘의 유효성을 입증하였다.

Dynamic range of LCD panel can be dramatically improved by adaptive dimming technique. Adaptive control of LED backlight by input signal can reduce the light leakage of LCD panel and achieve high contrast ratio. An algorithm is proposed to distinguish the input signal and get proper luminance level. For lower cost of LCD panel, white light LED is used to accomplish 2D dimming and get better image performance of LCD.

In this paper, an X-Y channel dimming light emitting diode (LED) backlight with temperature compensation for in LCD TVs is proposed. It shows local dimming effects such as reduced power consumption and high dynamic contrast ratio even with much less number of LED drivers than that of the conventional two-dimensional local dimming method. Moreover, the image distortion caused by temperature variation of LED block can be effectively compensated. The validity of the proposed dimming method is verified by simulation and experimental results based on a RGB-LED backlight of a 32-inch LCD TV.

In this paper, light-emitting-diode (LED) backlight driving circuits and dimming method for medium-sized and large liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are proposed. The double loop control method, the intelligent-phase-shifted PWM dimming method, the fast-switching current regulator, and the current matching techniques are proposed to improve not only the current regulation characteristics and the power efficiency but also the current matching characteristics and the transient response of the LED current. The brightness of the backlight using the proposed local dimming method was determined from the histogram of the local block to reduce the power consumption of the backlight without image distortion. The measured maximum power efficiency of the LED backlight driving circuit for medium-sized LCDs was 90%, and the simulation results showed an 88% maximum power efficiency of the LED backlight driving circuit for large LCDs. The maximum backlight power-saving ratio of the proposed dimming method was 41.7% in the simulation with a high-contrast image. The experiment and simulation results showed that the performance of LEDs as LCD backlight units (BLUs) improved with the proposed circuits and method.

In this paper, the new smart dimming algorithm which is mixed with PWM and PAM control method is proposed for reducing the power consumption of LED TV Backlight. The proposed technique is using the curve characteristics of LED forward voltage and current which is proportionally changing LED forward voltage as changing LED forward current. Therefore, each PWM and PAM control method has different LED forward voltage and current in the same brightness condition. The PWM control method adjusts the brightness of LED TV Backlight by only varying the duty ratio of PWM and constantly sustaining the amplitude of LED forward current and voltage. So, the level of LED forward current and voltage in the PWM control method is relatively high and constant regardless of duty ratio of PWM. On the other hand, the PAM control method adjusts the brightness of LED TV Backlight by directly varying the level of LED forward current. So, the level of LED forward current and voltage in the PAM control method is lowered according to the brightness level. For the above-mentioned reason, the PAM control method has the advantage of reducing the total power consumption of LED TV Backlight at the brightness condition of below 100%, compared with PWM control method. By implementing this characteristic to LED driver circuit with control algorithm in MCU, the power consumption of LED TV Backlight can expect to be reduced. The effectiveness of the proposed method, new smart dimming algorithm, CPWAM(=Conditional Pulse Width Amplitude Modulation), has been verified by experimental results.
