發光二極體串30可以包括至少一個發光二極體,如圖3所示,發光二極體串30可以串聯複數之發光二極體301、302到30n,但本發明之複數之發光二極體亦可為並聯或串並聯等連接方式。發光二極體串30具有其第一臨界電壓值與第二臨界電壓值,當輸入至發光二極體串30之正向電壓大於第一臨界電壓值時,發光二極體串30可達到最大發光量。當輸入至發光二極體串30之正向電壓小於第二臨界電壓值時,發光二極體串30會停止發光。而當輸入至發光二極體串30之正向電壓介在第一臨界電壓值與第二臨界電壓值之間時,發光二極體串30會隨著正向電壓之增減而同步增亮或變暗。 The LED string 30 can include at least one light emitting diode.

The body can also be connected in parallel or in series and parallel. The LED string 30 has its first threshold voltage value and a second threshold voltage value. When the forward voltage input to the LED string 30 is greater than the first threshold voltage value, the LED string 30 can reach the maximum. The amount of luminescence. When the forward voltage input to the LED string 30 is less than the second threshold voltage, the LED string 30 stops emitting light. When the forward voltage input to the LED string 30 is between the first threshold voltage and the second threshold voltage, the LED string 30 will be simultaneously brightened or decreased as the forward voltage increases or decreases. darken.

圖2係本發明發光二極體串30中每一個發光二極體301、302...到30n之正向電壓與電流之特性曲線圖。根據 發光二極體之特性可知,每一發光二極體301、302到30n皆具有其對應之典型操作電壓VT與低臨界電壓VL。其中典型操作電壓VT,即各個發光二極體301、302到30n所具有的V1T、V2T...、VNT,為發光二極體規格上所建議的典型順向操作偏壓(Typical Forward Voltage);而低臨界電壓VL,即各個發光二極體301、302到30n所具有的V1L、V2L...、VNL,為發光二極體導通發光所需的最低順向偏壓。 Fig. 2 is a graph showing the characteristics of the forward voltage and current of each of the light-emitting diodes 301, 302, ..., 30n in the light-emitting diode string 30 of the present invention. According to the characteristics of the light-emitting diode, each of the light-emitting diodes 301, 302 to 30n has its corresponding typical operating voltage VT and low threshold voltage VL. The typical operating voltage VT, that is, V 1T , V 2T ..., V NT of each of the LEDs 301, 302 to 30n, is a typical forward operating bias recommended for the LED specifications (Typical). The low threshold voltage VL, that is, V 1L , V 2L ..., V NL of each of the light-emitting diodes 301, 302 to 30n, is the minimum forward bias required for the light-emitting diode to conduct light. Pressure.

當發光二極體串30中的每個發光二極體301、302或30n其上所跨載接收到的正向電壓均分別大於各自的典型操作電壓VT時,發光二極體301、302或30n各自會發出最大亮度,此時發光二極體串30亦會發出最大亮度。 When each of the light-emitting diodes 301, 302 or 30n in the light-emitting diode string 30 receives a forward voltage that is greater than a respective typical operating voltage VT, the light-emitting diodes 301, 302 or Each of 30n will emit maximum brightness, and the LED string 30 will also emit maximum brightness.

當發光二極體串30中的每個發光二極體301、302或30n其上所跨載接收到的正向電壓均分別小於各自的低臨界電壓VL時,發光二極體301、302或30n係不會發光,亦即此時發光二極體串30不會發光。 When each of the light-emitting diodes 301, 302 or 30n in the light-emitting diode string 30 receives a forward voltage which is less than a respective low threshold voltage VL, respectively, the light-emitting diodes 301, 302 or The 30n system does not emit light, that is, the light-emitting diode string 30 does not emit light at this time.

因此,當發光二極體301、302或30n為互相串聯連接的情況下,發光二極體串30之第一臨界電壓值之公式可為:第一臨界電壓值=V1T+V2T...+VNT。其中V1T、V2T、VNT係發光二極體301、302到30n個別具有之典型操作電壓。 Therefore, when the LEDs 301, 302 or 30n are connected in series with each other, the formula of the first threshold voltage value of the LED string 30 can be: the first threshold voltage value = V 1T + V 2T .. .+V NT . The V 1T , V 2T , and V NT light-emitting diodes 301, 302 to 30n each have a typical operating voltage.

另外,發光二極體串30之第二臨界電壓值之公式可為:第二臨界電壓值=V1L+V2L...+VNL。其中V1L、V2L、VNL係發光二極體301、302到30n個別具有之低臨界電壓。 In addition, the formula of the second threshold voltage value of the LED string 30 may be: the second threshold voltage value = V 1L + V 2L ... + V NL . The V 1L , V 2L , and V NL based light-emitting diodes 301, 302 to 30n each have a low threshold voltage.

而當發光二極體301、302或30n所接收的正向電壓介 於典型操作電壓VT與低臨界電壓VL之間時,發光二極體301、302或30n發出的亮度會隨著正向電壓的大小而改變。 And when the light-emitting diode 301, 302 or 30n receives the forward voltage When between the typical operating voltage VT and the low threshold voltage VL, the luminance emitted by the light-emitting diodes 301, 302 or 30n changes with the magnitude of the forward voltage.

若假設發光二極體串30具有30顆發光二極體,每個發光二極體的典型操作電壓VT為3.2伏特,低臨界電壓VL為2.0伏特,此時發光二極體串30之第一臨界電壓值=V1T+V2T...+VNT=96伏特;而發光二極體串30之第二臨界電壓值=V1L+V2L...+VNL=60伏特。所以當跨壓於發光二極體串30之正向電壓大於第一臨界電壓值96伏特時,可代表發光二極體301、302或30n所得到的跨壓會超過個別具有之典型操作電壓V1T、V2T、VNT。因此發光二極體301、302或30n皆會發出最大發光量,使得發光二極體串30可達到最大發光量。 If it is assumed that the light-emitting diode string 30 has 30 light-emitting diodes, the typical operating voltage VT of each light-emitting diode is 3.2 volts, and the low threshold voltage VL is 2.0 volts, at which time the first of the light-emitting diode strings 30 The threshold voltage value = V 1T + V 2T ... + V NT = 96 volts; and the second threshold voltage value of the light-emitting diode string 30 = V 1L + V 2L ... + V NL = 60 volts. Therefore, when the forward voltage across the LED string 30 is greater than the first threshold voltage of 96 volts, the voltage across the LEDs 301, 302 or 30n may exceed the typical operating voltage V. 1T , V 2T , V NT . Therefore, the light-emitting diodes 301, 302 or 30n emit the maximum amount of light, so that the light-emitting diode string 30 can reach the maximum amount of light.

而當該正向電壓小於該第一臨界電壓值96伏特且大於一第二臨界電壓值60伏特時,可代表發光二極體301、302或30n所得到的跨壓介在典型操作電壓V1T、V2T、VNT與低臨界電壓V1L、V2L、VNL之間。所以發光二極體301、302或30n的發光量會隨著其跨壓的增減而改變,同樣地發光二極體串30之發光量會隨著正向電壓之增減而同步增亮或變暗。 When the forward voltage is less than the first threshold voltage value of 96 volts and greater than a second threshold voltage value of 60 volts, the cross-voltage obtained by the light-emitting diodes 301, 302 or 30n may be at a typical operating voltage V 1T , V 2T , V NT are between the low threshold voltages V 1L , V 2L , and V NL . Therefore, the amount of illuminating light of the illuminating diode 301, 302 or 30n changes with the increase or decrease of the voltage across the same. Similarly, the illuminating amount of the illuminating diode string 30 will be simultaneously brightened or decreased as the forward voltage increases or decreases. darken.

最後當正向電壓小於該第二臨界電壓值60伏特時,係代表發光二極體301、302或30n所得到的跨壓小於低臨界電壓V1L、V2L、VNL。所以發光二極體301、302或30n會因為無法接收足夠的電壓值而無法發光,使得發光二極體串30停止發光。 Finally, when the forward voltage is less than the second threshold voltage value of 60 volts, the voltage across the representative LED 301, 302 or 30n is less than the low threshold voltages V 1L , V 2L , V NL . Therefore, the light-emitting diodes 301, 302, or 30n cannot emit light because they cannot receive a sufficient voltage value, so that the light-emitting diode string 30 stops emitting light.

發光二極體控制電路40用以根據調變電源訊號來調整 發光二極體串30之電流。發光二極體控制電路40包括變壓器41、整流電路42、第一濾波電路43、調整電路44、第二濾波電路45及放電電路46。 The LED control circuit 40 is configured to adjust according to the modulated power signal The current of the LED string 30. The light-emitting diode control circuit 40 includes a transformer 41, a rectifier circuit 42, a first filter circuit 43, an adjustment circuit 44, a second filter circuit 45, and a discharge circuit 46.

於本發明之第一實施例中,發光二極體控制電路40a可以根據電源供應端10所輸入的電源訊號之大小來選擇是否需具有變壓器41。例如當電源供應端10所輸入的電源訊號為220伏特時,變壓器41係可將電源訊號降壓,以符合發光二極體控制電路40a內其他電路元件之適用電壓。由於變壓器41之作用方式已經被本發明所屬技術領域中具通常知識者所熟悉,故在此不再贅述其原理。 In the first embodiment of the present invention, the LED control circuit 40a can select whether or not the transformer 41 is required according to the magnitude of the power signal input by the power supply terminal 10. For example, when the power signal input by the power supply terminal 10 is 220 volts, the transformer 41 can step down the power signal to comply with the applicable voltage of other circuit components in the LED control circuit 40a. Since the mode of operation of the transformer 41 has been familiar to those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains, the principles thereof will not be described herein.

整流電路42係與調光電路20電性連接,以接收調變電源訊號並轉換為直流電源訊號,直流電源訊號會隨著調變電源訊號而同步加大或減低。整流電路42可為一全波橋式整流器,但本發明並不以此為限。 The rectifier circuit 42 is electrically connected to the dimming circuit 20 to receive the modulated power signal and converted into a DC power signal, and the DC power signal is synchronously increased or decreased with the modulation power signal. The rectifier circuit 42 can be a full-wave bridge rectifier, but the invention is not limited thereto.

第一濾波電路43係與整流電路42電性連接,以接收直流電源訊號並轉換為濾波電源訊號,藉此得到穩定的訊號。而其中濾波電源訊號會隨著直流電源訊號而同步加大或減低。第一濾波電路43包括電容元件C1、C2及電阻元件R1,電容元件C1、C2用以將直流電源訊號之波形整形,電阻元件R1則用以將直流電源訊號降壓,以產生濾波電源訊號。 The first filter circuit 43 is electrically connected to the rectifier circuit 42 to receive the DC power signal and convert it into a filtered power signal, thereby obtaining a stable signal. The filtered power signal will increase or decrease synchronously with the DC power signal. The first filter circuit 43 includes capacitor elements C1 and C2 and a resistor element R1. The capacitor elements C1 and C2 are used to shape the waveform of the DC power signal, and the resistor element R1 is used to step down the DC power signal to generate a filtered power signal.

調整電路44係電性連接於第一濾波電路43與發光二 極體串30之間。在本發明之第一實施方式中,調整電路44係為一可變壓晶片,如Supertex Inc.®的廠商型號CL2的定電流發光二極體驅動晶片(Constant Current LED Driver IC),以根據接收的濾波電源訊號來選擇性地產生電流值為20毫安培之定電流調整訊號至發光二極體串30,此調整訊號可視為發光二極體串30之正向電壓。並須注意的是,調整電路44還可並聯連接電壓突波抑制器441。電壓突波抑制器441可為一瞬態抑制(Transient Voltage Suppresser,TVS)二極體。電壓突波抑制器441可以避免輸入的電源訊號有太高的電壓峰值或是突然產生突波,進而導致給予發光二極體串30之調整訊號不穩定。 The adjustment circuit 44 is electrically connected between the first filter circuit 43 and the LED string 30. In a first embodiment of the present invention, the adjustment circuit 44 is a variable pressure-based wafer, such as Vendor Model Supertex Inc. ® CL2 is constant current driven light-emitting diode chip (Constant Current LED Driver IC), in accordance with the received The filtered power signal selectively generates a constant current adjustment signal having a current value of 20 milliamps to the LED string 30. The adjustment signal can be regarded as the forward voltage of the LED string 30. It should be noted that the adjustment circuit 44 can also be connected in parallel with the voltage surge suppressor 441. The voltage surge suppressor 441 can be a Transient Voltage Suppresser (TVS) diode. The voltage surge suppressor 441 can prevent the input power signal from having a too high voltage peak or a sudden surge, which causes the adjustment signal given to the LED string 30 to be unstable.

依據Supertex Inc.®的廠商型號CL2的定電流發光二極體驅動晶片(Constant Current LED Driver IC)元件之特性,調整電路44具有一最小輸入電壓值5伏特。當跨載於調整電路44之調整電壓大於5伏特時,調整電路44可實質穩定輸出定電流20毫安培的調整訊號。因此當濾波電源訊號大於101伏特(第一臨界電壓值96伏特與最小輸入電壓值5伏特之總和)時,調整電路係保持實質穩定輸出定電流20毫安培的調整訊號,此時的正向電壓會大於發光二極體串30之第一臨界電壓值96伏特,如此一來會讓發光二極體串30維持發出該最大發光量。 Based on characteristics of the constant current driving the light emitting diode chip manufacturer Supertex Inc. ® model CL2 is (Constant Current LED Driver IC) element, the adjustment circuit 44 has a minimum value of the input voltage to 5 volts. When the adjustment voltage across the adjustment circuit 44 is greater than 5 volts, the adjustment circuit 44 can substantially stably output an adjustment signal having a constant current of 20 milliamps. Therefore, when the filtered power signal is greater than 101 volts (the first threshold voltage value is 96 volts and the minimum input voltage value is 5 volts), the adjustment circuit maintains a substantially stable output current of 20 milliamps of regulation signal, and the forward voltage at this time. The first threshold voltage value of the LED string 30 is greater than 96 volts, which causes the LED string 30 to maintain the maximum amount of illumination.

而當輸入至調整電路44之濾波電源訊號小於101伏特(發光二極體串30之第一臨界電壓值96伏特與調整電壓5伏特之總和),但大於65伏特(第二臨界電壓值60伏特與調整電壓5伏特之總和)時,此時調整訊號使得正向電 壓大於發光二極體串30之第二臨界電壓值60伏特,但小於第一臨界電壓值96伏特。同時調整訊號會隨著調變電源訊號而同步加大或減低,亦即給予發光二極體串30之正向電壓也隨之改變,因此讓發光二極體串30之發光量可隨著調變電源訊號之設定而同步增亮或變暗。 When the filtered power signal input to the adjustment circuit 44 is less than 101 volts (the sum of the first threshold voltage of the LED string 30 and the volt of the voltage of 5 volts) is greater than 65 volts (the second threshold voltage is 60 volts). When adjusting the voltage to 5 volts, the signal is adjusted to make the forward current The voltage is greater than the second threshold voltage value of the light-emitting diode string 30 of 60 volts, but less than the first threshold voltage value of 96 volts. At the same time, the adjustment signal will be synchronously increased or decreased with the modulation power signal, that is, the forward voltage of the LED string 30 is also changed, so that the amount of illumination of the LED string 30 can be adjusted. Change the power signal to be set to brighten or darken simultaneously.

最後當輸入至調整電路44之濾波電源訊號小於第二臨界電壓值60伏特與調整電壓之總和時,調整電路44無法穩定地輸出定電流20毫安培的調整訊號,此時跨載於發光二極體串30的正向電壓會降低到小於第二臨界電壓值60伏特,如此一來發光二極體串30就無法接收到足夠的電壓值而停止發光。 Finally, when the filtered power signal input to the adjusting circuit 44 is less than the sum of the second threshold voltage value of 60 volts and the adjusted voltage, the adjusting circuit 44 cannot stably output the adjusting signal of the constant current of 20 milliamps, and the crossover is carried on the light emitting diode. The forward voltage of the string 30 is reduced to less than the second threshold voltage of 60 volts, so that the LED string 30 cannot receive sufficient voltage values to stop illuminating.

並需注意的是,發光二極體串30還可並聯連接第二濾波電路45與放電電路46。第二濾波電路45可為一電容元件,用以對輸入至發光二極體串30之調整訊號進行整流,避免發光二極體串30之閃爍。放電電路46則可為一電阻元件,當調整訊號停止輸入到發光二極體串30時,放電電路46係得以使發光二極體串30以較快速度完成放電,避免使用者已經完全關閉電源供應,但因為第二濾波電路45電容元件所儲存的電荷放電,使用發光二極體串30餘亮仍維持一段時間後才消失。放電電路46還可搭配二極體D1作為微調之用,但本發明並不限於此。 It should be noted that the LED string 30 can also be connected in parallel to the second filter circuit 45 and the discharge circuit 46. The second filter circuit 45 can be a capacitive component for rectifying the adjustment signal input to the LED string 30 to avoid flickering of the LED string 30. The discharge circuit 46 can be a resistive component. When the adjustment signal stops inputting to the LED string 30, the discharge circuit 46 enables the LED string 30 to be discharged at a relatively fast speed, so as to prevent the user from completely turning off the power. Supply, but because the charge stored in the capacitor element of the second filter circuit 45 is discharged, the remaining light of the LED string 30 is maintained for a while before disappearing. The discharge circuit 46 can also be used with the diode D1 as a fine adjustment, but the invention is not limited thereto.

而關於發光二極體控制電路40a對於發光二極體串30之控制結果就如同圖4所示,圖4係本發明之發光二極體控制電路於第一實施例中之電壓值對應圖。以電源供應端10輸入之電源訊號為20毫安培定電流的110伏特交流電, 且假設第一濾波電路43之電阻元件R1為560歐姆為例,此狀況下經過整流電路42整流後輸出之直流電源訊號之電壓值為電源訊號之均方根值,亦即約154伏特。因此在定電流20毫安培的情況下,第一濾波電路43之跨壓約為11.2伏特。 The control result of the light-emitting diode control circuit 40a for the light-emitting diode string 30 is as shown in FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a voltage value corresponding diagram of the light-emitting diode control circuit of the present invention in the first embodiment. The power signal input from the power supply terminal 10 is 110 volts alternating current of 20 milliamperes of current. It is assumed that the resistance element R1 of the first filter circuit 43 is 560 ohms. In this case, the voltage value of the DC power signal outputted by the rectifier circuit 42 is the root mean square value of the power signal, that is, about 154 volts. Therefore, in the case of a constant current of 20 milliamperes, the voltage across the first filter circuit 43 is approximately 11.2 volts.

若發光二極體串30之數量為30個發光二極體,每一發光二極體的典型操作電壓VT為3.2伏特,因此此時發光二極體串30之正向電壓就會需要96伏特,亦即第一臨界電壓值=V1H+V2H...+VNH=3.2伏特30=96伏特。 If the number of the light-emitting diode strings 30 is 30 light-emitting diodes, the typical operating voltage VT of each light-emitting diode is 3.2 volts, so the forward voltage of the light-emitting diode string 30 will require 96 volts. That is, the first threshold voltage value = V 1H + V 2H ... + V NH = 3.2 volts * 30 = 96 volts.

如此一來,調整電路44之跨壓為:154伏特-11.2伏特-96伏特=46.8伏特。 As such, the voltage across the adjustment circuit 44 is: 154 volts - 11.2 volts - 96 volts = 46.8 volts.

所以調整電路44會調整其輸出之電壓值,使得調整電路44之跨壓會調整到46.8伏特。該46.8伏特高於該Supertex Inc.®的廠商型號CL2的定電流發光二極體驅動晶片的最小輸入電壓值5伏特,因此型號CL2的定電流發光二極體驅動晶片可維持實質穩定的輸出20毫安培的定電流調整訊號給發光二極體串30,使發光二極體串30保持在最大亮度。所以當濾波電源訊號大於第一臨界電壓值與最小輸入電壓值之總和時,發光二極體串30會維持發出該最大發光量。 Therefore, the adjustment circuit 44 adjusts the voltage value of its output so that the voltage across the adjustment circuit 44 is adjusted to 46.8 volts. The 46.8 volts is higher than the minimum input voltage of the constant current LED driver of the Supertex Inc. ® model CL2, so the constant current LED driver of the CL2 model maintains a substantially stable output. A milliamperes of constant current adjustment signal is applied to the LED string 30 to maintain the LED string 30 at maximum brightness. Therefore, when the filtered power signal is greater than the sum of the first threshold voltage and the minimum input voltage, the LED string 30 maintains the maximum amount of illumination.

而當發光二極體串30之發光亮度要調整為50%時,此時直流電源訊號之電壓值會因為調光電路20輸出之調變電源訊號的改變,而變成為120伏特,而在發光亮度在50%情況下的發光二極體的所需的跨壓約為2.73伏特,所以發光二極體串30所需的正向電壓約為82伏特,因此調整電 路44會因此同步調整其輸出的電壓值,使得調整電路44之跨壓會調整到:120伏特-11.2伏特-82伏特=26.8伏特。 When the luminance of the LED string 30 is adjusted to 50%, the voltage value of the DC power signal will become 120 volts due to the change of the modulation power signal outputted by the dimming circuit 20, and is illuminated. The required crossover voltage of the light-emitting diode at 50% brightness is about 2.73 volts, so the forward voltage required for the LED string 30 is about 82 volts, so the power is adjusted. The path 44 will thus adjust its output voltage value synchronously such that the voltage across the adjustment circuit 44 will be adjusted to: 120 volts - 11.2 volts - 82 volts = 26.8 volts.

而當發光二極體串30之發光亮度要調整為20%時,此時在發光亮度在20%情況下的發光二極體的所需的跨壓約為2.27伏特,所以發光二極體串30所需的正向電壓約為68伏特,而直流電源訊號之電壓值會因為調光電路20輸出之調變電源訊號的改變,而變成為95伏特,因此調整電路44會同步調整其輸出的電壓值,使得調整電路44之跨壓會調整到:95伏特-11.2伏特-68伏特=15.8伏特。 When the luminance of the light-emitting diode string 30 is adjusted to 20%, the required voltage across the light-emitting diode at a luminance of 20% is about 2.27 volts, so the light-emitting diode string The required forward voltage is about 68 volts, and the voltage value of the DC power signal becomes 95 volts due to the change of the modulated power signal outputted by the dimming circuit 20, so the adjustment circuit 44 adjusts its output synchronously. The voltage value causes the voltage across the adjustment circuit 44 to be adjusted to: 95 volts - 11.2 volts - 68 volts = 15.8 volts.

所以當輸入至調整電路44之濾波電源訊號小於發光二極體串30之第一臨界電壓值與調整電壓之總和,但大於第二臨界電壓值與調整電壓之總和時,發光二極體串30之發光亮度可跟著調整電路44之調變電源訊號而同步增亮或變暗。 Therefore, when the filtered power signal input to the adjusting circuit 44 is smaller than the sum of the first threshold voltage and the adjusted voltage of the LED string 30, but greater than the sum of the second threshold voltage and the adjusted voltage, the LED string 30 The brightness of the light can be brightened or dimmed simultaneously with the modulated power signal of the adjustment circuit 44.

由於發光二極體串30之第二臨界電壓值=V1L+V2L...+VNL=2伏特30=60伏特,所以當直流電源訊號之電壓值因為調光電路20輸出之調變電源訊號的改變以降低到50伏特以下時,此時發光二極體串30得到的正向電壓必定小於第二臨界電壓值60伏特,調整電路44之跨壓也必定降低到5伏特以下。由於調整電路44之跨壓低於5伏特,即低於型號CL2的定電流發光二極體驅動晶片的最小輸入電壓值,因此調整電路44會截止輸出電壓值。同時每一發光二極體得到的跨壓係小於2伏特之低臨界電 壓VL,發光二極體串30不會發光。所以當濾波電源訊號小於第二臨界電壓值與調整電壓之總和時,發光二極體串30就會停止發光。 Since the second threshold voltage value of the LED string 30 = V 1L + V 2L ... + V NL = 2 volts * 30 = 60 volts, when the voltage value of the DC power signal is adjusted due to the output of the dimming circuit 20 When the change of the power supply signal is reduced to less than 50 volts, the forward voltage of the LED string 30 must be less than the second threshold voltage of 60 volts, and the voltage across the adjustment circuit 44 must be reduced to less than 5 volts. Since the voltage across the trimming circuit 44 is less than 5 volts, i.e., below the minimum input voltage value of the constant current LED driving wafer of the model CL2, the trimming circuit 44 turns off the output voltage value. At the same time, the cross-voltage system obtained by each of the light-emitting diodes is less than the low threshold voltage VL of 2 volts, and the light-emitting diode string 30 does not emit light. Therefore, when the filtered power signal is less than the sum of the second threshold voltage and the adjusted voltage, the LED string 30 stops emitting light.

需注意的是,上述的發光二極體串30在不同亮度下所需的正向電壓為實際量測之數值,因此不同型號或不同種類的發光二極體串30所需的正向電壓可能不同,上述所列之數值僅為舉例說明,本發明並不以上述所舉之數值為限。 It should be noted that the forward voltage required for the above-mentioned LED string 30 at different brightness is actually measured, so the forward voltage required for different types or different types of LED strings 30 may be The above numerical values are merely illustrative, and the present invention is not limited to the above numerical values.

最後請參考圖5係本發明之發光二極體控制電路之第二實施例之電路架構圖。 Finally, please refer to FIG. 5, which is a circuit diagram of a second embodiment of the LED control circuit of the present invention.

在本發明之第二實施例中,發光二極體控制電路40b之調整電路44亦可為脈寬調變切換電路442,以根據濾波電源訊號產生不同的脈寬調變訊號,調整電路44係藉由產生切換脈寬調變訊號之方式得到調整訊號。因此脈寬調變訊號亦可隨著調變電源訊號而同步做加大或減低之調整,以進一步改變給予發光二極體串30之正向電壓,來控制發光二極體串30之亮度。由於調整電路44為脈寬調變切換電路442時的調整方式與調整電路44為可變壓晶片時的調整方式類似,故在此不再贅述其原理。 In the second embodiment of the present invention, the adjustment circuit 44 of the LED control circuit 40b may also be a pulse width modulation switching circuit 442 for generating different pulse width modulation signals according to the filtered power signal, and the adjustment circuit 44 is The adjustment signal is obtained by generating a switching pulse width modulation signal. Therefore, the pulse width modulation signal can also be adjusted to increase or decrease in synchronization with the modulation power signal to further change the forward voltage applied to the LED string 30 to control the brightness of the LED string 30. Since the adjustment mode when the adjustment circuit 44 is the pulse width modulation switching circuit 442 is similar to the adjustment method when the adjustment circuit 44 is a variable voltage chip, the principle will not be described herein.

由上述的說明可知,本發明之發光裝置1可利用簡單之發光二極體控制電路40、40a或40b來控制發光二極體串30所發出之亮度,可以防止發光二極體串30閃爍且可以避免電磁干擾的問題。另外發光二極體串30不論是串聯、並聯或是串並聯等方式連接,皆可由發光二極體控制電路40、40a或40b來控制,而不需更換其他的控制電路。 As can be seen from the above description, the light-emitting device 1 of the present invention can control the brightness emitted by the light-emitting diode string 30 by using the simple light-emitting diode control circuit 40, 40a or 40b, and can prevent the light-emitting diode string 30 from blinking. The problem of electromagnetic interference can be avoided. In addition, the LED strings 30 can be controlled by the LED control circuit 40, 40a or 40b regardless of whether they are connected in series, in parallel or in series or in parallel, without replacing other control circuits.

綜上所陳,本發明無論就目的、手段及功效,在在均顯示其迥異於習知技術之特徵,懇請 貴審查委員明察,早日賜准專利,俾嘉惠社會,實感德便。惟應注意的是,上述諸多實施例僅係為了便於說明而舉例而已,本發明所主張之權利範圍自應以申請專利範圍所述為準,而非僅限於上述實施例。 To sum up, the present invention, regardless of its purpose, means and efficacy, shows its distinctive features of the prior art.
