Embodiment
The preferred embodiments of the present invention will cooperate graphic being described in detail as follows, and wherein identical or approximate element shows with similar reference number.
Fig. 4 shows the block schematic diagram of drive circuit 42 of the light emitting diode matrix 40 of one embodiment of the invention.With reference to Fig. 4, a plurality of light-emitting diodes are composed in series a light-emitting diode chain 402 to 406, again by a plurality of light-emitting diode chain 402 to 406 connections parallel with one another to consist of this light emitting diode matrix 40.
With reference to Fig. 4, this drive circuit 42 is connected in a direct current voltage source V DCAnd between this light emitting diode matrix 40.This drive circuit 42 receives from this direct voltage source V DCVoltage to supply a plurality of output voltages to this light emitting diode matrix 40.With reference to Fig. 4, this drive circuit 42 comprises a switch element 44 and a comparing unit 46.This switch element 44 comprises a plurality of switches 442 to 446, and wherein each switch is connected between the light-emitting diode chain of this direct voltage and correspondence.This comparing unit 46 comprises a plurality of comparators 462 to 466, and wherein each comparator has a first input end to receive a reference voltage V R, one is connected to the second input of the output of corresponding light-emitting diode chain, and an output that is connected to switch corresponding in this switch element 44.
With reference to Fig. 4, the output of each light-emitting diode chain is connected to a resistance R, and the input of each light-emitting diode chain is connected to an electric capacity (C 1, C 2And C 3One wherein).When running, the comparator in this comparing unit 46 can compare the voltage of two inputs to determine the state of switch corresponding in this switch element 44.For example, when the voltage of the positive input terminal of comparator 462 during greater than the voltage of negative input end, the switch 442 that this comparator 462 can output one signal be answered with closed pair.Otherwise, when the voltage of the positive input terminal of comparator 462 during less than the voltage of negative input end, this comparator 462 can output one signal to end corresponding switch 442.
Because its conducting voltage V forward of the light-emitting diode that is connected in series in each light-emitting diode chain FSlightly different, if when the switch in the switch element 44 442 to 446 is kept closed, then the output voltage of each light-emitting diode chain will be not identical.Not identical voltage response so that the output current of each light-emitting diode chain is inconsistent, causes the luminosity of this light emitting diode matrix 40 unequal, even some light-emitting diode chain possibly can't be lit in the resistance R meeting.
In order to solve this problem, the switch 442 to 446 in this switch element 44 is understood according to the voltage on the resistance R and optionally conducting.The explanation as an example of light-emitting diode chain 402 example is when its output voltage V O1Greater than reference voltage V RThe time, the expression capacitor C 1On voltage enough supply should light-emitting diode chain 402, so comparator 462 can output one signal with cutoff switch 442.At this moment, the voltage on this light-emitting diode chain 402 is by capacitor C 1Institute provides.Work as capacitor C 1On voltage drop the time, the voltage on the resistance R also descends thereupon.Voltage on resistance R is lower than reference voltage V RThe time, then comparator 462 can transitions exporting a signal, thereby Closing Switch 442.When switch 442 closure, this light-emitting diode chain 402 will be by direct voltage source V DCVoltage is provided, and this direct voltage source V DCCan be simultaneously to capacitor C 1Charge.
Therefore, if this light emitting diode matrix 40 according to this mode drive, the current i of each the light-emitting diode chain in this light emitting diode matrix 40 can keep definite value, and can be expressed as:
