Description

Dimming controlling method and use the illuminator of this method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of dimming controlling method and use the illuminator of this method, particularly a kind of in conjunction with continuous light tuning technology and discontinuous light regulating technology dimming controlling method and use the illuminator of this method.
Background technology
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display, quality LCD) constantly progresses greatly, and the price continuous slide makes the application of LCD promptly enlarge.Aspect computer application, LCD not only allows the display screen of mobile computer from early stage Video Graphics Array (VideoGraphics Array at 9 o'clock, VGA) proceed to now and extend graphic array (ExtendedGraphic s Array for the moment with ten three, XGA) be standard, and the larger sized monitor field of just entering into, prepare to replace partly cathode ray tube (cathode ray tube, CRT) market of display.In people's livelihood application facet such as auto-navigation system, LCD TV etc., also because the low priceization of LCD and high-qualityization and the feasible selection scheme that becomes gradually.
Because LCD is non-luminiferous display unit, therefore must just can reach the function of demonstration with backlight.The quality of backlight performance is except meeting directly influences the image display quality of LCD, the cost of backlight module accounts for the 3%-5% of LCD, the electric power that is consumed more accounts for 75% of LCD, in the LCD of can saying so quite the basis and important spare part.High meticulous, large-sized LCD, must have high performance backlight technology with cooperate, therefore when the LCD industry is made great efforts the new application of developing, the high performance of backlight technology, lightening etc. as high brightnessization, cost degradation, low consumption electrification, weight and volume, also playing the part of person who has rendered outstanding service's behind the scenes role.
At the light modulation of backlight module, mainly contain two kinds of technology now: one is the continuous light tuning technology, and another is the discontinuous light regulating technology.The continuous light tuning technology is when the brightness that the adjustment backlight module sends, and adjusts the current amplitude that exports luminescence unit to thereupon, and wherein the electric current of being exported is continuous waveform.See also Fig. 1.Fig. 1 is for exporting the current amplitude and the brightness relationship figure of luminescence unit in the known continuous light tuning technology.Among Fig. 1, the brightness that on behalf of backlight module, X direction send, on behalf of backlight module, y direction export the current amplitude of luminescence component to.A MaxFor backlight module can export the maximum current of luminescence unit to, correspond to the high-high brightness B that backlight module sends MaxYet, because have leakage current A during electric current input luminescence component 0Generation, therefore, little of A if backlight module exports the current amplitude of luminescence unit to 0The time, behind the deduction leakage current, the other end of luminescence component is just without any electric current, and bright and the situation that the other end does not work of an end will take place in this luminescence component at this moment.For keeping the backlight quality that backlight module provides, avoid the situation that the other end does not work as above-mentioned luminescence component one end is bright to take place, backlight module can set one greater than leakage current A usually 0Current amplitude lower limit A Min, the brightness that this moment, backlight module can send promptly is decided to be backlight module and presets the minimum brightness B that sends MinThe shortcoming of continuous light tuning technology maximum is that promptly it is subject to the existence of this leakage current, may be output to the current ratio deficiency of luminescence unit, so the brightness ratio that backlight module can send is also not enough.In the existing technology, the brightness ratio of continuous light tuning technology only can reach about 3: 1 approximately.
As for the discontinuous light regulating technology, as its name suggests, be to adjust the brightness that backlight module is sent in the mode that discontinuous is lighted luminescence component, that is the electric current of output fixed amplitude is to luminescence unit, and, adjust the work period (dutycycle) of the electric current that exports luminescence unit to adjusting the brightness that backlight module sends.When the brightness of sending when backlight module was high, the work period of adjusting the electric current that exports luminescence unit to was high (the highest can be 1); When the brightness of sending when backlight module was low, the work period of adjusting the electric current that exports luminescence unit to was low.Compared to the continuous light tuning technology, the benefit of discontinuous light regulating technology is that it fixedly exports the current amplitude of luminescence unit to, therefore needn't worry the problem of leakage current, even and when the work period of the electric current that exports luminescence unit to transfers to very little and makes that average current is very low, the problem that luminescence unit can't uniformly light-emitting still can not take place, as average current in a common application in addition can be low to moderate 0.5 milliampere still can be normally luminous; Therefore the average current that may be output to luminescence unit in the discontinuous light regulating technology is bigger frequently, so the brightness ratio of backlight module is sufficient.But in the discontinuous light regulating technology, fluorescent tube is discontinuous to be lighted, and therefore cause backlight module to have bigger noise, and this is a unexistent shortcoming in the continuous light tuning technology.
Along with the LCD improvement of Manufacturing Technology, production capacity and output all rise, thereby make the rapid downslide of LCD price.The price of significantly making a price reduction backlight module of LCD also causes sizable impact, and manufacturer tries every possible means and reduces the cost of backlight module.In order to reduce the cost that backlight module is made, manufacturer often cooperates the power supply of lower cost, thereby make the noise of backlight module increase, and the discontinuous big noise that is caused of lighting of fluorescent tube then is tantamount to make the matter worse in the discontinuous light regulating technology at this moment, and seeming is difficult to stand.So far in then visible traditional light regulating technology, the shortcoming that is difficult to doublely of low noise and high brightness ratio.
