As LCD panels become larger and larger, their backlight modules use more LEDs to provide adequate backlighting. Therefore, the circuit that drives the LED will generate more power consumption. Referring to the figure 图, Fig. j is a diagram showing the temperature distribution relationship of the backlight unit back plate 10 during heat balance. Due to the liquid crystal display in general use, the backlight of the LED backlight mechanism is substantially perpendicular to the desktop (or horizontal plane). Therefore, in the state of thermal balance, the heat generated by the backlight module makes the backplane of the machine 1 from bottom to top. The temperature distribution is from low temperature to high temperature. "Please, see Figure 2, Figure 2 is the relative relationship between the LED's forward conduction current, the forward conduction 2 pressure and the ambient temperature. ® 2 draws a line with 3 shaft conductions' to take one of the curves and lines: As the LED's forward conduction current iFP^ rises, the LED's on-voltage will drop as the temperature rises. s February f test Figure 3, Figure 3 is the circuit diagram of the conventional backlight module.匕Including N-group LED driving circuit: illuminating element; 301 to 1377535 0710056ITW 23953twf.doc/n 30N respectively coupled to the corresponding dimming circuits 33i to 33N ^The heat generated by the backlight module is in thermal equilibrium state Under the LED backlight mechanism, the temperature of the back panel will change differently, so that the ambient temperature of each of the light-emitting elements is not the same 'the brightness is also different', which is easy to cause poor display. Therefore, the backlight module 3 is conventionally designed. 〇〇In the N-type LED driving circuit, N feedback signals Vml to VmN are taken out for closed loop driving control, and then the output of the DC power converter 31A is adjusted. However, the feedback compensation circuit 320 is designed. To process N feedback signals Vm l The complexity of the VmN is quite high, and designing N feedback signals increases the difficulty of circuit wiring, so the circuit cost of the backlight module 300 is also relatively increased. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a backlight The module can use less feedback signals for closed loop control, which can reduce the complexity of the design feedback compensation circuit, reduce the difficulty of circuit wiring, and reduce the circuit cost of the module.

[Embodiment] The inventor of the present invention has a complicated circuit design in view of the circuit design of the conventional backlight module, and the present invention has been produced by analyzing and simulating various situations. One of the main features of the present invention is to extract feedback signals from the lowest temperature region for processing. The embodiments of the present invention are described below. Referring to FIG. 4(a), FIG. 4(a) is a diagram showing a plurality of temperature distribution regions divided by a backlight of a light emitting diode (LED) backlight mechanism according to an embodiment of the invention. In order to alleviate the complexity, it is conventional to require N feedback signals Vml to VmN' to reduce the feedback signal required by the prior art in the embodiment of the present invention. First, the backlight module forms a plurality of temperature distribution regions according to the relative relationship of the heat dissipation directions 10 1377535 0710056ITW 23953twf.doc/n. In FIG. 4(a), the backlight module is disposed on the LED backlight mechanism back plate 40, and the LED backlight mechanism back plate 4 is divided into three temperature distribution regions, which are respectively a T1 region, a T2 region, and a D3 region. Those skilled in the art should be able to understand that the temperature distribution region can be divided into regions based on thermal equilibrium simulation or experimental results, so the number of temperature distribution regions is not limited. Assuming that the LED backlight mechanism is configured such that the board 40 is erected on the desktop, the LED backlight mechanism has a heat-dissipating aperture for four weeks or only the uppermost heat-dissipating aperture. Therefore, when the liquid crystal display in use is in thermal equilibrium, the LED backlight mechanism backplane 40 will be the hottest in the T1 region, followed by the T2 region, and the T3 region has the lowest temperature region. When designing the moonlight module, the LEDs in each zone are different due to the ambient temperature, so the forward voltage of the LEDs in each zone will be different. The LED in the T1 area has the smallest forward voltage, the LED in the T3 area has the largest forward voltage, and the LED in the T2 area has the largest forward voltage. After dividing the above into multiple temperature zones, it is necessary to reduce the number of summers. The intention to reduce the number of feedback signals is to retrieve the feedback signal from a certain area, so the complexity of processing the feedback signal will be reduced a lot. For the verification, please refer to Figure 4(b), and carry out the following experiments. . Fig. 4(b) is a circuit diagram of a backlight module according to a plurality of temperature distribution regions of Fig. 4(a).

The voltage Vm is generated from the junction of the light-emitting element 46 and the dimming circuit 47, and the relationship is VLED = Vf - total + Vm. (Assume that the illuminating element 46 is currently using four illuminating diodes' and the forward conduction voltage of each illuminating implant is equal to 2V.) 'In the first case, when the chiller is simulated, the open loop control is performed, so the operating voltage The VLED is fixed. Here, a data sheet is provided. When the constant current source n is 20 mA, the operating voltage VLED is 9 V, the Vf is 8 V, and the voltage Vm is IV, and the Vm power consumption is 2 〇 mV: Next, the second In the case of a heat engine, the analog circuit T1 opens the circuit 12 (s 1377535 0710056ITW 23953twf.doc/n control. Provided here - data sheet, when the constant current source n is 2 mA, the work voltage is 9V, The conduction voltage Vf hits 6 degrees, and (4) the voltage Vm is 2.2V', and its Vm consumes power. Therefore, the forward voltage of each light-emitting diode drops to 〇3v. When the third condition is a heat engine, Analog T3 zone _ open loop control. Here is provided - data data, when the constant current source ^ is 2QmA, the working voltage VLED is 9V, 'the forward voltage vf_t_ is 7 6v, and the voltage m is 1.4V 'Vm &gt The power consumption of the xiao is 2gmv. Therefore, the power of each illuminator and diode is reduced to 〇lv. For the above two simulation cases, please refer to Figure 4(e) after arranging the data. In addition to the temperature rise, the forward voltage Vf_total drops 'and the voltage Vm rises, The power consumption of the switch is large, which makes the power loss increase σ and makes the component efficiency worse. Next, the fourth situation and the fifth situation are simulated. The fourth case is the simulation of the T1 zone. The feedback signal is closed loop control; • When the fifth case is a heat engine, the analog capture T3 zone feedback signal is used for closed loop control. Among them, the fourth and fifth cases are only for one temperature distribution area. Control is given, while the other two areas are not controlled by feedback. In the fourth case, the feedback signal Vmla or Vmlb is taken or the average value of the feedback signals Vmla and Vmlb is taken. In the fifth case, the feedback signal Vm3a or Vm3b or the average value of the feedback signals Vm3a and Vm3b. Please refer to Fig. 4(f), Fig. 4(f) is the structural diagram of the closed loop control when simulating the heat engine in Fig. 4(b). Originally in Fig. 4 ( The voltage Vm of d) is now a feedback signal of Fig. 13 <S) 1377535 0710056ITW 23953twf.doc/n 4(f). The light-emitting element 46 uses four identical light-emitting diodes. The feedback compensation circuit 49 includes an error amplifier 49b coupled to the voltage compensator 49a' voltage compensator 49a between the error amplifier 49b and the DC power converter 48b. The error amplifier 4A receives the feedback signal Vm and a reference signal Vref, and the voltage compensator 49a generates a voltage compensation signal 49c to the DC power converter 48b. The DC power converter 48b adjusts and outputs the operating voltage VLED based on the voltage compensation signal 49c. When the fourth case is a heat engine, the analog capture T1 zone feedback signal is used for closed loop control. Here, a data feed is provided for the data. When the constant current source II is 20 mA and the original working voltage VLED is 9 V, the compensation is performed. The operating voltage VLED is 7 8v. The forward conduction voltage vf_t〇tai in the T1 region is 6.8V, so the voltage Vm in the T1 region is IV, but the forward conduction voltage vf_total in the T3 region is 7.6V, which causes the light in the lower temperature region (T3 region). Insufficient operating voltage of the component makes the light-emitting diode unstable. Then, 'when the fifth case is a heat engine', the simulation draws the feedback signal of the T3 area to perform closed loop control. Here, a data is provided. When the constant current source Π is 20 mA and the original working voltage Vled is 9 V, the compensation is performed. The operating voltage VLED is 8.6V. The forward voltage vf_t〇tal of the T3 region is 7.6V', so the voltage Vm of the T3 region is L0V; while the forward voltage Vfjotal is 6.8V, and the voltage Vm of the T1 region is 丨8V. Therefore, when the voltage VLED is adjusted downward to 8.6V, the driving circuit of the backlight module 42 of Fig. 4(b) can be covered. For the simulation of the fourth and fifth cases mentioned above, please refer to Figure 4(g) after sorting the data, in which the compensation is performed with the higher temperature region, and the adjusted operating voltage 乂1^1) and temperature The JL of the component between the lower region 0710056ITW 23953twf.doc/n and the forward voltage Vf-total is unstable. It proves that the ',' § causes the most fading area of the illuminating method (the back-spinning group and its drive number are clearly defined, and the adjustment result is f (^) is the lowest area of the feedback reliability. "Women area" took ^^^^. Therefore, it is feasible to return the compensation to Wei from the implementation of Wen. It is reduced to three-thirds. The complexity of processing the feedback signal can be divided into 5ΐ: according to the temperature of another embodiment of the present invention. The area, as shown in the figure, is divided into nine zones.

This is similar to the method of Fig. 5(b). Similarly, the C1 and C3 areas of the back panel 50 of the coffee-backing mechanism can be installed with air, and the temperature of the C1 and C3 1 is minimized at the thermal balance 4'. Therefore, the backlight mold can be taken from the C1 area and the C3 area, and each of the light-emitting elements arranged in the area is taken as a feedback control, and the feedback value is returned according to the feedback signals of the two extraction points. Adjust the common working power of all the light-emitting elements; or just take the collapse point of one of the C1 area or C3 @ light-emitting elements for feedback control, and then adjust the common working voltage of all the light-emitting elements. 5(b) and 5(c), this technique has the general knowledge that f should be able to dissipate heat # or the fan is to ensure that the alpha zone and C3 are the temperature-lower zone. Other methods of heat dissipation are achieved: the area with the lowest temperature is the heat dissipation design relative to the backplane. When considering the symmetry of the average heat dissipation, the area with the lowest temperature can be in the two sides of the back plate. In addition, the number of divided temperature zones and the number of heat sinks are not limited. There are 1377535 • · 0710056ITW 23953twf.d〇c/n Xu Xi, kind. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should not be limited by the embodiments, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. . 'Please refer to Figure 5(d). Figure 5 (d) is a circuit of a light-emitting mode, 1 according to another embodiment of the present invention. The backlight module 5GG is disposed on the LED backlight mechanism back plate 5A having the heat sink as shown in FIG. 5(b) or FIG. 5(c). The backlight module 5〇〇 forms a plurality of temperature distribution regions according to the relative relationship of the heat dissipation directions, as shown in Fig. 5(a). The focus of the present invention is to extract the feedback signal from the "lowest temperature region", as shown in Fig. 5(a) and Fig. 5(d): the C1 zone and the C3 zone are the lowest temperature zones, and the C1 zone and the C3 zone are taken from the C1 zone and the C3 zone. The first feedback signal Vmcl and the second feedback signal Vmc3 are used for closed loop control. The backlight module 500 includes a light emitting diode driving circuit 52, a DC power converter 51, and a feedback compensation circuit 55. The LED driving circuit 52 is coupled between the DC power converter 51 and the feedback compensation circuit 55. The light-emitting body driving circuit 52 includes a plurality of light-emitting elements and a plurality of light-modulating circuits. Each of the light-emitting elements includes at least one light-emitting diode, and the forward-pass voltage characteristics of the light-emitting diodes are affected by the ambient temperature. Each dimming circuit package includes a switch SW and a constant current source I, wherein one end of the switch SW is coupled to one of the corresponding light-emitting elements, and the other end of the switch SW2 is coupled to the corresponding constant current source I, and the corresponding The other end of the constant current source is grounded. Each dimming circuit can provide a driving current of its corresponding light-emitting element. The light-emitting element can generate a backlight after receiving the working voltage VLED, and the first light-emitting element 510 and the second light-emitting element 511 of the light-emitting elements are disposed at the lowest temperature. The area in which the lowest temperature region is further provided with a heat sink. The first feedback signal Vmcl is obtained from the coupling of the first dimming circuit 512 of the first photo-emission element 51 corresponding to 17 (S) 1377535 0710056ITW 23953twf.d〇c/n. The second feedback signal is obtained from the coupling of the second dimming circuit 514 of the dimming circuit corresponding to the second light emitting element 511. Therefore, the LED driving circuit 52 further generates a first feedback signal Vmcl and a second feedback signal Vmc3. The feedback compensation circuit 55 includes an error amplifier 59 and a voltage compensator 57. The error amplifier 59 receives the reference signal Vref, the first feedback signal Vmcl and the second feedback signal Vmc3' and compares the average of the reference signal Vref, the first feedback signal Vmcl and the second feedback signal Vmc3 to obtain an output. In order to avoid the feedback signal, it is possible to compare the average value of the two feedback signals with the reference signal Vref. Of course, it is also possible to compare the reference signal Vref with only the first or the same. The voltage compensator 57 is coupled between the output of the error amplifier 59 and the DC power converter 51, and accordingly generates and outputs a voltage compensation signal 53. The DC power converter 51 can adjust the input and output powers of different DC levels according to the voltage compensation signal 53 in a pulse width modulation manner, and output an operating voltage VLED. The type of the DC power converter 51 can be a conventional step-up DC power converter, a step-down DC power converter, or a buck-boost DC power converter, and will not be described here. Let us compare the difference between FIG. 3 and FIG. 5(d). In the conventional technology, the backlight module 300 of FIG. 3 adopts a considerable number of feedback signals, and the heavy feedback signal quantity of the light-emitting module 300 makes the conventional The feedback compensation circuit 320 will therefore be overloaded. In the backlight module 5A of FIG. 5(d), the configuration of the feedback compensation circuit 55 is relatively simple, and the feedback compensation circuit 55 1J/7535 0710056ITW 23953twf.doc/n processes the number of feedback signals. Compared with the feedback compensation, the power is less. Therefore, the number of feedback signals in the embodiment of the present invention is reduced, and the complexity of designing the feedback compensation circuit 55 also reduces the difficulty of circuit wiring i and the circuit cost of the backlight modules 1 and 5〇0 is compared with that of the backlight module 3. He also followed suit. In addition to the backlight module of the above embodiment, the present invention also includes a method of driving a backlight module. For those skilled in the art of the present invention, the backlight module embodiment of the present invention should be capable of driving the backlight module of the present invention, and therefore will not be described. 〇In summary, the present invention simplifies the number of feedback apostrophes received by the feedback compensation circuit, and the backlight module uses the feedback signal from the "lowest temperature region" as closed loop control instead of transmitting a plurality of backs. The signal is sent to the edge compensation circuit. Therefore, the present invention can reduce the amount and line of return money between the feedback compensation circuit and the emitter drive circuit. The moonlight module of the present invention and the driving method thereof have at least the following advantages: L uses less feedback signals for closed loop control; • 2) reduces the complexity of the design feedback compensation circuit; 3. reduces the difficulty of circuit wiring 4. Reduce the circuit cost of the backlight module; 5. Reduce the power consumption of the backlight module; 6. Reduce the temperature of the LED backlight module; 7 Improve the life of the LED; 8.
