Embodiment
Please refer to Figure 1A.Figure 1A is in this disclosure one embodiment, a kind of circuit diagram of light-emitting device 1.Light-emitting device 1 comprises: light emitting module 10, control module 12 and brightness adjustment control bus 14.
Light emitting module 10 comprises multiple string luminescence unit, in Figure 1A be with the 1st string, the 2nd string ..., m string list shows.Each luminescence unit string comprises the multiple luminescence units 100 be in series.
In the present embodiment, light emitting module 10 comprises m luminescence unit string altogether, has n luminescence unit 100 in each luminescence unit string, to be arranged as the array format of the capable n row of m.Luminescence unit string according to galvanoluminescence, and can produce uniform light source.In the present embodiment, the number m of luminescence unit string is less than the number n of the luminescence unit 100 that each luminescence unit string comprises.Brightness adjustment control bus 14 in order to control the electric current of each luminescence unit string, can reach stable to make the luminescence of luminescence unit string.In the present embodiment, light-emitting device 1 more comprises power module 16, makes light emitting module 10 carry out luminescence to provide in power supply to light emitting module 10.Wherein, one end of each luminescence unit string in light emitting module 10 is connected to power module 16 jointly.
Please refer to Figure 1B.Figure 1B is in this disclosure one embodiment, the more detailed circuit diagram of light-emitting device 1.In the present embodiment, brightness adjustment control bus 14 comprises several current control unit 140.Each current control unit 140 is connected with the luminescence unit 100 in corresponding luminescence unit string, with the electric current of control flow check through luminescence unit string.In the present embodiment, current control unit 140 can control the electric current of luminescence unit string in a definite value, can reach stable to make the luminescence of luminescence unit string.
Luminescence unit string wherein one end receives direct voltage Vdc jointly, and the other end is connected to earth terminal GND by current control unit 140.Wherein, direct voltage Vdc can be provided by the power module 16 of Figure 1A.Each luminescence unit 100 in luminescence unit string comprises light-emitting component 102 and paralleling switch 104.Light-emitting component 102 can be solid-state (solidstate) light-emitting component.For example, semiconductor light-emitting-diode (lightemittingdiode; And Organic Light Emitting Diode (organicLED LED); OLED) solid-state light emitting element is.In different embodiment, light-emitting component 102 can adopt different solid-state light emitting elements to realize.Paralleling switch 104 is in parallel with light-emitting component 102.When paralleling switch 104 is closed and light-emitting component 102 non-fault time, light-emitting component 102 can normal operation; And when paralleling switch 104 conducting, light-emitting component 102 is positioned at normal or the state of fault all will be shorted.
In an embodiment, control module 12 controls opening and closedown of paralleling switch 104 by brightness adjustment control bus 14.In other embodiments, also can be controlled paralleling switch 104 by other mode.
Luminescence unit 100 and current control unit 140 are according to the corresponding electric current running of direct voltage Vdc, and therefore when light emitting module 10 operates, luminescence unit 100 and current control unit 140 all produce pressure drop.In Figure 1B, the pressure drop that each luminescence unit 100 produces represents with Vy (a, b), and wherein a and b represents the position that this luminescence unit 100 is arranged in light emitting module 10 array.For example, the pressure drop that the luminescence unit 100 being positioned at the 1st row the 1st row (i.e. the 1st string the 1st) produces is Vy (1,1), and the pressure drop that the luminescence unit 100 being positioned at capable n-th row of m produces is Vy (m, n).On the other hand, the pressure drop that the 1st luminescence unit string produces to the current control unit 140 that m luminescence unit string is corresponding then represents with Vz1 ~ Vzm respectively.
Control module 12 captures the cross-pressure value of the current control unit 140 of corresponding each luminescence unit string, judges further the luminescence unit 100 whether fault of each luminescence unit string.It is noted that refer to that in fact its light-emitting component 102 produces the situation that cannot operate in the fault of this luminescence unit 100.Because each luminescence unit string operates according to same direct voltage Vdc, therefore the overall presure drop of each luminescence unit string is equal.When luminescence unit 100 fault of in luminescence unit string, due to cannot normal operation again, its pressure drop originally produced will be transferred on corresponding current control unit 140.Therefore, by capturing the cross-pressure value (i.e. the pressure drop of current control unit 140) of current control unit 140 and judging whether this cross-pressure value raises, control module 12 can judge whether have luminescence unit 100 to produce the situation of fault.
For example, when luminescence unit 100 fault that the 1st row the 2nd arranges, the cross-pressure value of the current control unit 140 of its correspondence will become Vz1+Vy (1,2).If when the number x with a string middle luminescence unit 100 fault is more than or equal to a critical fault number p, damages making corresponding current control unit 140 cannot bear too high voltage, and then the luminescence unit string of whole string cannot be operated again.In an embodiment, critical fault number p is 2; This means, when the number with a string middle luminescence unit 100 fault is more than or equal to 2, corresponding current control unit 140 will be made to damage.
But, the number x of fault closes the luminescence unit 100 of whole string when exceeding critical fault number p, easily because only namely the luminescence unit 100 of one or two fault loses the brightness of whole string luminescence unit 100, decline to a great extent making the luminous efficiency of Integral luminous module 10.For example, when in light emitting module 10, the number m of luminescence unit string is 4, and the number n of the luminescence unit 100 had in each string is when being 13, if the number x of wherein a string fault is 2, then this string makes Integral luminous module 10 decrease the brightness of 13 luminescence units 100 by because of directly closing.
Therefore, in the present invention, control module 12 works as luminescence unit string wherein a string out of order situation in judgement, and when number of defects x is more than or equal to critical fault number p, to luminescence unit 100 short circuit of fault in this string be made, and make (x-p+1) individual luminescence unit in each luminescence unit string outside this string also with short circuit.
Please refer to Fig. 2.Fig. 2 is in this disclosure one embodiment, and the luminescence unit string of light emitting module 10 produces the circuit diagram of failure situations.
For example, when control module 12 is judging in light emitting module 10,1st row the 1st arranges and the 1st row the 2nd row (namely have Vy (1,1) and Vy (1,2) pressure drop person) for fault luminescence unit 200 time, by controlling the paralleling switch 104 in parallel with light-emitting component 200, with luminescence unit 100 short circuit by fault.In addition, control module 12 will make further the 2nd walk to the capable luminescence unit string of m wherein in the short circuit of (2-2+1=1) luminescence unit.In the present embodiment, control module 12 is that luminescence unit 210 short circuit walking to capable each 1st row of m by the 2nd (namely has Vy (2,1) ... Vy (m, 1) pressure drop person).It is noted that the above-mentioned short circuit carried out luminescence unit, all can refer to control paralleling switch 104 conducting of its inside to carry out short circuit to light-emitting component 102 by control module 12.
Therefore, except the 1st string has two luminescence units 100 and cannot operate, other each strings all have a luminescence unit 100 be shorted and do not operate.Due to often string can current sinking produce pressure drop element reduce, therefore control module 12 can adjust direct voltage Vdc further, do not cause the element in each luminescence unit string to be damaged to make direct voltage Vdc decline, and still can make each string luminescence unit 100 regular event.
Therefore, as with the number m of luminescence unit string for 4, and in each string, luminescence unit 100 number n is the situation of 13 is example, when processing the situation of luminescence unit 100 fault in the manner of the present invention, each luminescence unit during two luminescence units and 2nd ~ 4 that only need close the 1st string are gone here and there, the luminescence unit 100 of five altogether, its with directly to close the situation that whole string luminescence unit 100 causes 13 (comprising fault) luminescence unit 100 cannot operate and compare down, cause the problem that light emitting module 10 luminous efficiency declines when significantly can improve luminescence unit 100 fault.
In above-mentioned mode, as being 3 (x=3) at the number damaged with the luminescence unit 100 in a string and critical fault number is 2(p=2), then control module 12 is except by except 3 of fault luminescence unit short circuits, also by two ((x-p+1)=(3-2+1)=2) short circuits in each luminescence unit string of other outside this string.
But, in an embodiment, when the number x of control module 12 failure judgement is too much, and when making the luminescence unit 100 in other strings of closedown not meet benefit, also directly can close this luminescence unit string.Meaning namely, as there is fault luminescence unit a specific string in the number of luminescence unit 100 of non-short circuit be (n-x), the number needing the luminescence unit 100 of short circuit under aforementioned mechanism is (m-1) * (x-p+1), then when control module 12 judges (m-1) *, (during x-p+1)≤(n-x), control module 12 is by this specific string of closedown.
For example, as arranged (m=4 at 4 row 13; N=13), in array, wherein a string number of defects is 4(x=4) and critical fault number is 2(p=2), then luminescence unit 100 number of non-short circuit is equivalent to (n-x)=(13-4)=9.As adjusted with above-mentioned mechanism, then altogether need to close (m-1) * (x-p+1)=(3) * (4-2+1)=9.Therefore, above-mentioned mechanism is favourable unlike the mode of directly closing this specific string, and now control module 12 directly can close this specific string.
If in same array, wherein a string number of defects is 5 (x=5), then luminescence unit 100 number of non-short circuit is equivalent to (n-x)=(13-5)=8.And altogether need to close (m-1) * (x-p+1)=(3) * (5-2+1)=12 as carried out adjusting with above-mentioned mechanism.Control module 12 can judge that the mode of closing this specific string comparatively meets benefit and closes this specific string.
Please refer to Fig. 3.Fig. 3 is in this disclosure one embodiment, the circuit diagram of two luminescence unit string generation failure situations in light emitting module 10.
In the present embodiment, light emitting module 10 is the array (m=5 that 5 row 13 arrange; N=13), and critical fault number is 2(p=2).Two luminescence unit strings in light emitting module 10, as shown in Figure 2 the 1st string and the 5th string, reach critical fault number p, wherein the 5th string have two fault luminescence units 200 and the 1st string have three fault luminescence units 200.As controlled in the mode of closing whole luminescence unit string, must short circuit reach 26 luminescence unit 100(5 former faults and 21 additionally to close).But as carried out in the manner of the present invention, then only need short circuit 11 luminescence units (5 fault luminescence units 200 and 6 luminescence units 210 of additionally closing).
In an embodiment, if having the situation that y luminescence unit string produces fault simultaneously, and fault number is z, then control module 12 can judge whether following formula is set up further:
((m-1)*(x-p+1)-z)≧((n-x)*y+(p-1)*(y-1))
As above formula is set up, then control module 12 directly will close this luminescence unit string.As being false, then control module 12 will only need (x-p+1) the individual luminescence unit 100 in other luminescence unit strings of short circuit.
Below the mechanism of carrying out the short circuit of luminescence unit 100 for control module 12 is described in detail.
In an embodiment, control module 12 by storage one the short circuit luminescence unit table of comparisons (not illustrating), to record the luminescence unit 100 whether fault of the luminescence unit 100 of short circuit in each luminescence unit string and this short circuit.Because control module 12 has judged whether luminescence unit 100 fault according to the cross-pressure value of the current control unit 140 corresponding to each luminescence unit string, therefore control module 12 only can the generation of failure judgement situation, but fault cannot be learnt be which.Therefore, when carrying out short action, sequentially one by one short circuit will be carried out to the luminescence unit 100 in this string, and check whether the cross-pressure value of current control unit 140 rises again, to judge whether the luminescence unit 100 being closed to normal operation.
When the luminescence unit 100 of normal operation is closed, the pressure drop of its script makes the cross-pressure value of current control unit 140 rise by transferring to current control unit 140.Therefore control module 12 is opened again by making the paralleling switch 104 of this luminescence unit 100, and to make luminescence unit 100 revert to path, light-emitting component 102 can continue normal running.And when control module 12 judges that the cross-pressure value of current control unit 140 does not rise, namely represent that the luminescence unit 100 of institute short circuit is the luminescence unit 200 of fault, and by the outcome record of short circuit in the short circuit luminescence unit table of comparisons.
Whether, in an embodiment, control module 12 more judges in a specific string according to the short circuit luminescence unit table of comparisons, have and can the luminescence unit 100 of normal operation be shorted.When the luminescence unit 100 of this specific string produces the situation of fault, control module 12 judges whether the number k of these " short circuit but normally luminescence unit " is less than or equal to the number x of the luminescence unit 100 of fault further.
When k is less than or equal to x, control module 12 will carry out short circuit to fault luminescence unit 200, and recover these the non-fault luminescence unit of short circuit for path.And when k is greater than x, control module 12 will carry out short circuit to fault luminescence unit 200, and the individual non-fault luminescence unit of short circuit of x is made to revert to path.Control module 12 will change the short circuit luminescence unit table of comparisons further, in new short circuit result being stored in.
For other luminescence unit strings beyond specific string, control module 12 also can carry out the mechanism of short circuit according to the short circuit luminescence unit table of comparisons.
In an embodiment, when carrying out the short circuit of each luminescence unit string outside this specific string, control module 12, according to the short circuit luminescence unit table of comparisons, judges whether the luminescence unit 100 of each luminescence unit string has the luminescence unit 100 of short circuit.When there is the luminescence unit 100 of short circuit and the number q of these short circuit luminescence units 100 is more than or equal to (x-p+1), control module 12 does not carry out short circuit, when the number q of the luminescence unit of short circuit of luminescence unit is less than (x-p+1), control module 12 makes the luminescence unit short circuit of (x-p+1-q) individual non-short circuit.
For example, as arranged (m=4 at 4 row 13; N=13) in array, the number of luminescence unit 100 fault of the 1st string is 3 (x=3) and critical fault number is 2(p=2), then the 2nd string is respectively two ((x-p+1)=(3-2+1)=2) to the 4th string for the luminescence unit 100 carrying out short circuit.If now the 2nd string to the 4th string wherein a string have be shorted more than two luminescence units 100 time, then namely control module 12 does not need to carry out short circuit to the luminescence unit 100 of this string again.And if other luminescence unit strings now outside specific string wherein a string has a luminescence unit 100 when being shorted, then control module 12 only needs to carry out short circuit to ((x-p+1-q)=(3-2+1-1)=1) in the luminescence unit 10 of remaining non-short circuit.
Therefore, after auxiliary by above-mentioned mechanism, can carry out having more flexible control for light emitting module 10, and while avoiding component wear, the brightness of light emitting module 10 can be maintained as much as possible.
It is noted that in the above embodiments, be described for the corresponding luminescence unit string of a current control unit.In other embodiments, current control unit may correspond to the luminescence unit string be in parallel to two or more, and is carried out controlling to the switch of luminescence unit in above-mentioned mode by control module and adjust.
Please refer to Fig. 4.Fig. 4 is in this disclosure one embodiment, a kind of flow chart of light-emitting device control method 400.Light-emitting device control method 400 can be applicable to light-emitting device 1 as shown in Figure 1A and 1B, but not as limit.Light-emitting device control method 400 comprises the following step (should be appreciated that, step mentioned in the present embodiment, except chatting its order person bright especially, all can adjust its tandem according to actual needs, even can perform simultaneously or partly simultaneously).
In step 401, the light emitting module 1 making to have the array of the capable and n row luminescence unit 100 of m operates.
In step 402, captured the cross-pressure value of current control unit 140 corresponding to each luminescence unit string by control module 12, judge the luminescence unit 100 whether fault of each luminescence unit string further in step 403.When the luminescence unit of this specific string does not break down, flow process will be back to step 402.
When the luminescence unit of this specific string breaks down, whether control module 12 is more than or equal to critical fault number p in step 404 failure judgement number x.When the number of defects is less than critical fault number p, control module 12 will be failure to actuate, and flow process will be back to step 402.
When control module in step 403 12 failure judgement number x is more than or equal to critical fault number p, control module 12 judges whether the number of the luminescence unit of each luminescence unit string institute short circuit had outside the specific string of fault luminescence unit is more than or equal to the number of the luminescence unit 100 of non-short circuit in specific string further in step 405.This means, judge whether following formula is set up:
