Description
Technical field
The invention relates to a kind of current control device, and, reach the current control device of the brightness of adjusting light emitting diode string particularly relevant for a kind of electric current that utilizes FEEDBACK CONTROL adjustment to flow through light emitting diode string.
Background technology
At liquid crystal display television (Liquid Crystal Display Television, abbreviation LCD TV) light-emitting diode (Light Emitting Diode, abbreviation LED) in the backlight, need a large amount of light-emitting diode of utilization that brightness is reached and the suitable specification of cold-cathode fluorescence lamp (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp is called for short CCFL).In general design; for the number of the drive integrated circult (DrivingIntegrated Circuit) that reduces light-emitting diode and total drive current of light-emitting diode, so the design circuit that back light source in LED need use many light-emitting diodes series connection to light through regular meeting.This mode not only can reduce the group number of drive integrated circult, also can reduce total drive current of light-emitting diode, and further lowers the consumed power of drive integrated circult.
Yet because light-emitting diode is in the process of making, be difficult to control to cut-in voltage (the Cut-in Voltage of each light-emitting diode, promptly be the minimum voltage that makes the light-emitting diode conducting) reach in full accord, so plant the shortcoming of control mode, the error amount of cut-in voltage of each light-emitting diode will add up, cause under the condition of fixing input voltage, the electric current of each group light emitting diode string is understood because its total cut-in voltage is different difference to some extent, therefore cause and respectively organize light emitting diode string and produces the different phenomenon of brightness because of electric current is inconsistent, this kind phenomenon will cause the phenomenon generation of the inhomogeneous and coloured inequality of back light source brightness of panel.
In order to solve so problem, there are some to utilize the gimmick of improving of current mirror to be suggested successively, for example the circuit that disclosed for No. 5701133 of United States Patent (USP) promptly is an example wherein, as shown in Figure 1.Fig. 1 is existing brightness regulating circuit.Please refer to Fig. 1, the VLED among Fig. 1 is expressed as supply voltage, and GND is expressed as earthed voltage, and Vin is expressed as input signal.Circuit shown in Figure 1 is for adopting by bipolar transistor (Bipolar JunctionTransistor, be called for short BJT, as Fig. 1 101 shown in) current mirror (the Current Mirror that gets up of two tandems being formed, as Fig. 1 102 and 103 shown in), utilize electric current I m1, the Im2 of these two current mirrors 102 and 103 and the mode that Ic three can be equal to each other, force the magnitude of current of control light emitting diode string 104.Therefore, use above-mentioned technology in circuit, can force the magnitude of current of respectively organizing light emitting diode string to reach consistent, and then finish the control of brightness uniformity with multi-group light-emitting diode string.
Yet, this circuit is only for opening the control system in loop, also be that this circuit there is no any FEEDBACK CONTROL, therefore once the light emitting diode string in the system breaks down (for example a few light-emitting diodes in the light emitting diode string be short-circuited fault), or the error amount of total cut-in voltage of light emitting diode string when too big (for example because the temperature characterisitic of every light-emitting diode is slightly different, it is poor to cause each light emitting diode string to form bigger total cut-in voltage in the energising back), because system does not have FEEDBACK CONTROL, so can't detect this state, therefore will cause the bipolar transistor on the current mirror to afford sizable voltage and electric current, make the temperature of bipolar transistor constantly rise, and then make bipolar transistor that overheated risk be arranged, thereby make the product of this technology of utilization have the doubt of Reliability.
In addition, such as No. the 6556067th, United States Patent (USP) and No. 6636104 patents, owing to also be to adopt this control mode of opening the loop of current mirror to force the magnitude of current of respectively organizing light emitting diode string to reach consistent, and then finish the control of brightness uniformity, therefore the doubt of Reliability is equally also arranged.
