An exemplary embodiment of the present invention, first group of modulation driving current are respectively greater than unmodulated driving electricity
Stream is driven so that being equal to by the luminous flux of the light source of first group of modulation driving current driving by the unmodulated driving current
The luminous flux of dynamic light source.
Luminous flux is the amount of the power of the light of unit time inner light source transmitting, and with the area under driving current wave at just
Than human eye is sensitive to the variation of luminous flux.Light source can be driven with the first modulation driving current for being greater than unmodulated driving current,
So that the luminous flux of light source entire information transmit during be it is constant, to avoid flashing.
Figure 14 A is the modulation driving of the light source equal to unmodulated driving current according to an illustrative embodiment of the invention

Figure 14 C is the tune greater than unmodulated driving current of no high-frequency carrier signal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention
Driving current processed.As shown in Figure 14 C, driving current can be modulated to the difference arranged including different high level and low level
Period, to represent different symbols.Optionally, in different cycles, high level and low level can have the different duration,
To transmit different symbols, causes the luminous flux of the power supply driven by modulation driving current different, cause light source scintillation.Example
Such as, as shown in Figure 14 C, in a cycle T1 for representing symbol " 1 ", driving current is modulated into high level total duration and isLuminous flux is 50%；In another cycle T 2 for representing symbol " 0 ", driving current is modulated into high electricity
Flat total duration isLuminous flux is 66.7%.Therefore, the luminous flux in the T1 of transmitted symbol " 1 " is small
Luminous flux in the T2 of transmitted symbol " 0 ", leads to light source scintillation.
In order to avoid the flashing of the light source when transmitting different symbols, the driving current greater than unmodulated driving current is further
It is modulated with high-frequency carrier signal.By being modulated with high-frequency carrier signal, in different cycles, it is used for transmission the driving of different symbols
The duration of the high level of electric current is identical with the low level duration, then is including high level and low level each week
Luminous flux in phase is constant, thus avoids light source scintillation.For example, as shown in fig. 14d, at one of transmitted symbol " 1 "
In cycle T 1, driving current is further modulated into high level total duration with high-frequency carrier signal and is Luminous flux is 33.3%；In a cycle T2 of transmitted symbol " 0 ", driving current quilt
