Technical field
The present invention relates to (backlight) backlight drive unit, backlight driving method and be used for the liquid crystal indicator of driving that control comprises the back lighting device of LED (light emitting diode) element.
Background technology
Although adopting the backlight of CCFL (cold-cathode fluorescence lamp) type of fluorescent tube is the main flow of liquid crystal board back light, consider environmental factor, to the not mercurous demand that has backlight always.Just because of this, people have thought that LED is expected to become the light source that replaces CCFL recently.The primary colors of a kind of independent use red LED, green LED, blue led also adds the method that the mixture of colours obtains white light by optics is synthetic, and especially, it is considered to be particularly advantageous in and is used for the TV purpose, and reason is that this method is convenient to obtain colour balance.
When LED was used as light source backlight, the luminescence efficiency of red LED, green LED and blue led was different, and the electric current that therefore flows through the LED of every kind of color should be irrelevant with other color.Form element (element) voltage difference different, that be used for every kind of color because be used for the semiconductor of the LED of every kind of color, so the power consumption of every kind of color is also different.Equally, when LED is used as back light, consider, can not drive each LED (seeing that Jap.P. discloses 2001-272938 number) respectively from the angle of actual cost.
Therefore, when LED is used as light source backlight, adopt the LED (being connected in series) of cascade some and the method for whole driving LED.
Especially, adopt a kind of method, wherein, be cascaded series as each LED of load, for example, be used for each cascaded series of predetermined quantity LED of every kind of color of redness, green, blueness, DC-DC converter power and PWM (width modulation) are provided control module.Red, green, the blue versicolor luminous flux of light sensors, and based on testing result, by FEEDBACK CONTROL, the magnitude of current that flows through every group of LED is carried out PWM regulate, thereby regulate by red, green, blue synthetic colourity that obtains and brightness.

Therefore, when brightness weakened greatly, the dutycycle of reading above-mentioned reference value and the LED by regulating two kinds of colors from nonvolatile memory after the energized obtained the predetermined required time (convergence time, converging time) of white light and is extended.As a result, for example, screen is little red phenomenon that bleaches gradually afterwards when energized occurring.In addition, when making the dutycycle increase of LED owing to brightness deterioration, power consumption backlight is compared increase with initial setting up phenomenon appears.
Incidentally, not only under the situation that above-mentioned brightness weakens in time, can cause this problem, and the dutycycle the when changing features of the LED that causes owing to reason such as annealing deficiency etc. and initial setting up and regulate after dutycycle between difference also can cause this problem when becoming very big.
Consider that so traditional actual conditions have proposed the present invention, expectation provides a kind of backlight drive device, backlight driving method and liquid crystal indicator, it can prevent when obtaining to be scheduled to white light by the magnitude of current that flows through LED with the FEEDBACK CONTROL adjusting, because the prolongation of the convergence colourity required time that factors such as secular variation cause.

As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, color liquid crystal display arrangement 30 comprises: temperature sensor 41 is used to detect the temperature of the light source 21 (light emitting diode) of back lighting device 20; Luminous flux or chromaticity transducer 42 (42R, 42G and 42B) are used for detecting in R, the G of the light source 21 (light emitting diode) of back lighting device 20 and the luminous flux or the colourity of B color.
The detected value of the detected value of temperature sensor 41 and luminous flux or chromaticity transducer 42 is provided for backlight drive control module 38.Backlight drive control module 38 is based on the detected value of these sensors, and control is used to drive the drive current of the light emitting diode that forms light source 21.
Next use description to drive the backlight drive control module 38 of the light emitting diode 3 that is connected in series mutually in the horizontal direction.Fig. 6 shows the example of the circuit structure of backlight drive control module 38.
Backlight drive control module 38 comprises DC-DC converter 51, constant resistance device (Rc) 52, FET 53, pwm control circuit 54, capacitor 55, sampling and keeps FET 56, resistor 57, keeps timing circuit 58 and as the microcomputer 59 of control module.
DC-DC converter 51 is provided with the DC voltage VIN that is produced by power supply shown in Figure 4 31, and direct current by conversion and stable input, produce VD Vcc.DC-DC converter 51 and produce stable output voltage V cc, make that from the voltage Vf and the electric potential difference between the output voltage V cc of feedback terminal input be constant value (Vref).
The positive terminal of the light emitting diode 3 that is connected in series mutually is connected to the lead-out terminal of the output output voltage V cc of DC-DC converter 51 by constant resistance device (Rc) 52.The positive terminal of the light emitting diode 3 that is connected in series mutually also is connected to the feedback terminal of DC-DC converter 51 by the source electrode of sampling and maintenance FET 56 with draining.The negative pole end of the light emitting diode 3 that is connected in series mutually is by source electrode and the grounded drain of FET 53.
The grid of FET 53 is provided with the pwm signal that is produced by pwm control circuit 54.When pwm signal was ON, FET 53 connected drain electrode and source electrode, and when pwm signal was OFF, FET 53 disconnected drain electrode and source electrode.Therefore, when pwm signal was ON, FET 53 made electric current flow through light emitting diode 3, and when pwm signal was OFF, the electric current that will flow through light emitting diode 3 was reduced to zero.That is, when pwm signal was ON, FET 53 made light emitting diode 3 luminous, and when pwm signal was OFF, it is luminous that light emitting diode 3 is stopped.
Pwm control circuit 54 produces pwm signal, and pwm signal is the binary signal of ON time and the EDM Generator of Adjustable Duty Ratio joint of OFF between the time.When connecting color liquid crystal display arrangement 30, pwm control circuit 54 is provided with the dutycycle corresponding to every kind of color initial setting up from microcomputer 59, and regulate the pulsewidth of pwm signal, make that the dutycycle of pwm signal is consistent with the dutycycle of initial setting up.Equally, when be provided with from the target duty that is provided with according to the actual luminous flux of every kind of color R, G and B or colourity of microcomputer 59 than the time, the pulsewidth that pwm control circuit 54 is regulated pwm signals makes dutycycle and the target duty of pwm signal than consistent.Promptly, pwm control circuit 54 control pwm signals, make when current dutycycle is lower than target duty and compares, pwm control circuit 54 increases the pulsewidth of turn-on time, to prolong the fluorescent lifetime of light emitting diode 3, current dutycycle be higher than target duty than the time, pwm control circuit 54 reduces pulsewidth, to shorten the fluorescent lifetime of light emitting diode 3.
Capacitor 55 is between the lead-out terminal and feedback terminal of DC-DC converter 51.Resistor 57 is connected to the lead-out terminal of DC-DC converter 51 and the grid of sampling and maintenance FET56.
Keep timing circuit 58 to be provided with pwm signal, and produce holding signal at the rising edge of pwm signal, this holding signal is OFF in the given time, and is being ON At All Other Times.
The grid of sampling and maintenance FET 56 is provided with the holding signal that keeps timing circuit 58 outputs.When holding signal was OFF, sampling and maintenance FET 56 connected source electrode and drain electrodes, when holding signal is ON, disconnected between source electrode and the drain electrode.
That is, in backlight drive control module 38, only during the pwm signal that is produced by pwm control circuit 54 was to connect, electric current I LED flow through light emitting diode 3.Capacitor 55, sampling and maintenance FET 56 and resistor 57 form sampling and holding circuits.This sampling and holding circuit are in pwm signal is the time of ON, to the positive pole of light emitting diode 3 (promptly, constant resistance device (Rc) 52 is not connected to the end of output voltage V cc) magnitude of voltage sample, and this magnitude of voltage is offered the feedback terminal of DC-DC converter 51.DC-DC converter 51 is based on the magnitude of voltage of the feedback terminal that is input to DC-DC converter 51, and regulated output voltage Vcc makes that the peak value of the electric current I LED that flows through constant resistance (Rc) 52 and light emitting diode 3 is constant.Therefore, in backlight drive control module 38, under the constant state of the peak value of the electric current I LED that flows through light emitting diode 3, carry out pulsed drive according to pwm signal.
When connecting color liquid crystal display arrangement 30, the dutycycle of microcomputer 59 when nonvolatile memory 60 reads every kind of color initial setting up, and this dutycycle offered pwm control circuit 54.For example, initial setting up is to carry out like this, the light emitting diode 3 that is every kind of color is provided with the peak value of dutycycle and electric current I LED roughly, make this dutycycle and peak value variable, and adjusting dutycycle and peak value, so that obtain the luminous flux of expectation and the colourity of expectation, and the luminous flux of the dutycycle of the light emitting diode 3 of every kind of color of storage, every kind of color and colourity and the output of temperature sensor 41 at this moment in nonvolatile memory 60 in advance before dispatching from the factory.
In addition, in order to obtain predetermined white light, microcomputer 59 is fixed the dutycycle of the light emitting diode 3 of any one color, and carries out the FEEDBACK CONTROL of the light emitting diode 3 of other two kinds of colors.Microcomputer 59 provides the target duty ratio to pwm control circuit 54, up to the ratio of luminous flux that detects every kind of color by luminous flux or chromaticity transducer 42 or the colourity ratio during with initial setting up consistent (, up to assembling) by the colourity of mixing the white light that R, G and B light obtains.
As mentioned above, in having the backlight drive control module 38 of microcomputer 59, at first produce the pwm signal of the dutycycle when having initial setting up, regulate dutycycle by FEEDBACK CONTROL then, so that, obtain predetermined white light with reference in the luminous flux or colourity by luminous flux or chromaticity transducer 42 detected every kind of colors.
Light emitting diode is the device that brightness weakens in time.In addition, the speed that weakens not only changes between the light emitting diode of different colours, and between the light emitting diode of same color, also change, this depends on the difference when making, the environment temperature of the environment that the temperature of light emitting diode, back lighting device 20 are placed etc.
Therefore, when brightness weakens greatly, thereby the dutycycle during from initial setting up that nonvolatile memory 60 reads and regulate after dutycycle between difference when increasing, the dutycycle of dutycycle when nonvolatile memory 60 is read initial setting up and the light emitting diode by regulating two kinds of other colors obtains the required time (convergence time) of predetermined white light and prolongs.Consequently, for example, screen is little red phenomenon that bleaches gradually afterwards when energized having occurred.In addition, when making the dutycycle increase of light emitting diode 3 owing to brightness deterioration, overall backlight power is compared increase with initial set value phenomenon appears.
Not only under the situation that above-mentioned brightness weakens in time, can cause the problems referred to above, and the dutycycle the when changing features of the LED that causes owing to reason such as annealing deficiency etc. and initial setting up and regulate after dutycycle between difference also can cause this problem when becoming very big.
Therefore, microcomputer 59 is the dutycycle when nonvolatile memory 60 is read as predetermined multiplication constant that every kind of color is provided with and initial setting up in fact, dutycycle by with initial setting up the time multiplies each other with the multiplication constant of reading, dutycycle when proofreading and correct initial setting up, and the dutycycle after the employing correction, thereby shortened the required time of colourity of assembling.
Specifically describe an example of the process of proofreading and correct dutycycle with reference to the process flow diagram of figure 7.Incidentally, regulate dutycycle,, fix the dutycycle of the light emitting diode 3 of any one color, and regulate the dutycycle of the light emitting diode 3 of two kinds of other colors so that obtain predetermined white light.Because temperature variant the variations minimum of the brightness of blue LED 3B and peak wavelength, therefore, in this instantiation, the fixing dutycycle of blue LED 3B.
At first, when connecting color liquid crystal display arrangement 30, microcomputer 59 versicolor dutycycle PWM when nonvolatile memory 60 reads initial setting up R0, PWM G0And PWM B0And predetermined multiplication constant Kr, the Kg and the Kb that are provided with for shades of colour, multiply by dutycycle PWM with multiplication constant Kr, Kg and Kb respectively R0, PWM G0And PWM B0, and result of product offered pwm control circuit 54 (step S1).The initial value of multiplication constant Kr, Kg and Kb is 1, therefore, and the dutycycle PWM during initial setting up R0, PWM G0And PWM B0In statu quo offer pwm control circuit 54 at first.The pulsewidth that pwm control circuit 54 is regulated pwm signal is so that the dutycycle consistent with the dutycycle that is provided is provided.
Next, in order to obtain predetermined white light, microcomputer 59 is the dutycycle PWM of blue LED 3B fixedly B0, and execution is red and the FEEDBACK CONTROL of green LED 3R and 3G.Microcomputer 59 changes the dutycycle of red and green LED 3R and 3G, and this dutycycle offered pwm control circuit 54, up to the ratio consistent (step S2) during with initial setting up by the ratio of the luminous flux of luminous flux or chromaticity transducer 42 detected every kind of colors or colourity.Suppose that as a result of when obtaining to be scheduled to white light, versicolor dutycycle is PWM Rx, PWM GxAnd PWM B0
Handle though carried out this adjusting, the result of the long-time repetition Continuous irradiation of light emitting diode 3 is brightness deteriorations of light emitting diode 3.Microcomputer 59 changes dutycycle, so that proofread and correct such brightness deterioration.Suppose that as a result of versicolor dutycycle is PWM after regulating Ry, PWM GyAnd PWM B0
Microcomputer 59 is with the dutycycle PWM of red and green LED 3R and 3G RyAnd PWM GyDutycycle PWM during with initial setting up R0And PWM G0The absolute value of difference and predetermined threshold limitR and limitG compare.When the result of the brightness deterioration of light emitting diode 3 is the dutycycle PWM of red and green LED 3R and 3G RyAnd PWM GyDutycycle PWM during with initial setting up R0And PWM G0The absolute value of difference during greater than predetermined threshold limitR and limitG (step S3), microcomputer 59 upgrades multiplication constant Kr, Kg and Kb (step S4).
A kind of update method is that multiplication constant Kb is fixed as 1, and the dutycycle PWM during according to initial setting up R0And PWM G0With the dutycycle PWM after the adjusting RyAnd PWM GyBetween ratio, upgrade multiplication constant Kr and Kg.
Yet, in this case,, might increase the dutycycle of light emitting diode 3 and increase power consumption backlight because compare with initial setting up, so can upgrade all multiplication constant Kr, Kg and Kb, make the increase of power consumption drop on such as within 5% the scope.Incidentally, make that Vr, Vg and Vb are the total voltages of lighting light emitting diode 3R, 3G and 3B respectively, make that Ir, Ig and Ib are the current values of lighting light emitting diode 3R, 3G and 3B respectively, can be by following equation rough calculation power consumption backlight:
Power=Vr*PWM R*Ir+Vg*PWM g*Ig+Vb*PWM b*Ib
In addition, the dutycycle PWM according to initial setting up the time R0, PWM G0And PWM B0With versicolor dutycycle PWM after the adjusting RxPWM GxAnd PWM B0Between ratio, determine can proofread and correct multiplication constant Kr, Kg and Kb after multiplication constant Kr, Kg and the Kb, make that its maximal value is 1, obtain new multiplication constant Kr, Kg and Kb.
Backlight drive control module 38 upgrades the value of multiplication constant Kr, Kg and Kb like this.Thereby when connecting color liquid crystal display arrangement 30 next time, the dutycycle that is similar to the final dutycycle after regulating is from beginning to be provided for pwm control circuit 54.Therefore, might shorten the required time of colourity of assembling.
It should be noted that to the invention is not restricted to the foregoing description, can under the situation that does not depart from spirit of the present invention, make various changes it.
For example, though in the foregoing description, versicolor initial setting up value and multiplication constant are stored in the nonvolatile memory 60, but the invention is not restricted to this, and the versicolor value of setting after regulating can be stored in the nonvolatile memory 60 with value at that time.In addition, for example, the information of the ratio of the value of setting of the value of setting of particular color and other color and the value of setting of particular color can be stored in the nonvolatile memory 60.That is, as long as can bear the data that are used for shortening every kind of color assembling the colourity required time when energized again, then these data can be stored in the nonvolatile memory 60 with arbitrary form.
The above is the preferred embodiments of the present invention only, is not limited to the present invention, and for a person skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and variation.Within the spirit and principles in the present invention all, any modification of being done, be equal to replacement, improvement etc., all should be included within protection scope of the present invention.
