Description

Can avoid control method and the light-emitting device of scintillation effect
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of control method and light-emitting device, particularly relate to a kind of capable of dynamic and detect load current, with control method and the light-emitting device of avoiding scintillation effect.
Background technology
Along with the arriving of energy crisis and the new line of environmental consciousness, energy-conservation and demand environmental protection becomes the subject under discussion of global common concern now.The light source that uses compared to tradition, light-emitting diode (Light EmittingDiode, LED) due to have power saving, assembly life-span long, abundant without mercury, colour gamut, need not warm up the lamp time and the advantage such as reaction speed is fast, therefore, light-emitting diode has been widely used in showing and illuminating light source.In addition, can be made into the assembly of minimum or array due to characteristics such as little, lightweight, the anti-collision of volume of light-emitting diode, suitable volume production, easy fit applications demands, therefore light-emitting diode is except being applied to outdoor various display and traffic signal light, also can be applicable on various electronic product or portable product, such as the screen back light source of liquid crystal display, mobile phone, portable computer and personal digital assistant etc.
Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of an existing LED driving circuit 10.LED driving circuit 10 is used for driving a LED light-source module 102.As shown in Figure 1, LED light-source module 102 includes m the C of light-emitting diode group arranged side by side 1~C m, and each light-emitting diode serial includes the light-emitting diode of n serial connection.LED driving circuit 10 includes an electric pressure converter 104, a current source 106, a pwm unit 108 and a control unit 110.Electric pressure converter 104 is used to provide a driving voltage V DTo LED light-source module 102.Current source 106 is used to provide drive current I D1~I DmTo LED light-source module 102.Pwm unit 108 is used for according to a light modulation signal S D, carry out dimmer procedure.Generally speaking, at the C of each light-emitting diode group 1~C mHave its corresponding head space voltage (Headroomvoltage) V on path HR1~V HRm, represent the C of each light-emitting diode group 1~C mOn path, can be for the magnitude of voltage of current source 106.In practical application, for brightness and the power consumption of stably controlling light-emitting diode, usually can make the electric current of the light-emitting diode of flowing through keep stablizing constant (is drive current I D1~I DmKeep stablizing constant).Yet due to impact or other any factor of non-ideal factor on technique, the cross-pressure of each light-emitting diode is not identical with making, and causes head space voltage V HR1~V HRmBe not quite similar.In the case, head space overtension or too low, all have not good impact for LED driving circuit 10, and for instance, the head space overtension, can expend too much voltage on current source 106; Otherwise the head space brownout, will cause current source 106 to operate in unsuitable state, and can't stablize the drive current that provides required.
Therefore, in Fig. 1, prior art is to control electric pressure converter 104 by the control unit 110 of negative feedback to change driving voltage V D, make head space voltage be adjusted to a suitable definite value.Control unit 110 includes a voltage selector 112, an error amplifier 114 and a switching controller 116.Voltage selector 112 is coupled to the C of each light-emitting diode group 1~C mOutput, be used for selecting head space voltage V HR1~V HRmOne of them, be used as a feedback voltage V FB, and with feedback voltage V FBAn and preset reference voltage V REFNegative input end and the positive input terminal of difference error originated from input amplifier 114.Error amplifier 114 is according to feedback voltage V FBAnd preset reference voltage V REFDifference, produce an error signal S ESwitching controller 116 can be according to error signal S E, produce one and control signal S C, control electric pressure converter 104 and carry out voltage transitions, with outputting drive voltage V DThat is to say, as the C of each light-emitting diode group 1~C mCorresponding head space voltage V HR1~V HRmWhen too low, error amplifier 114 can produce error signal S ETo switching controller 116, signal S is controlled in switching controller 116 and then utilization C, make electric pressure converter 104 improve driving voltage V DThus, at drive current I D1~I DmImmobilize, and in the situation that also can not change of the cross-pressure on each light-emitting diode, by control unit 110, control and promote driving voltage V D, head space voltage V HR1~V HRmAlso can and then promote, become the relation of positive change between the two, in like manner, vice versa.In other words, at the stable drive current I that supplies D1~I DmUnder, LED driving circuit 10 can be feedback and follow the trail of by control unit 110, and it (is preset reference voltage V that head space voltage is locked in a rational magnitude of voltage REF).
Yet, in many cases, still have the situation of electric current variation by the electric current of light-emitting diode, for instance, when carrying out dimmer procedure, normally utilize the size of current of adjusting by light-emitting diode (that is to adjust drive current I D1~I DmSize) change the brightness of light-emitting diode.In the case, due to drive current I D1~I DmCan change, make the cross-pressure of light-emitting diode along with variation.Therefore, in aforementioned prior art, if only by the preset reference voltage V with fixing REFrelatively adjust driving voltage V D, may follow the trail of the time because of tediously long back coupling, and can't be in real time with driving voltage V DBe promoted to suitable level, cause feedbacking during this section of following the trail of, current source 106 meeting excuse section space voltages are not enough, and enough drive currents can't be provided, and therefore light-emitting diode will produce scintillation.
