In this embodiment, the control circuit 100 adjusts its own resistance value according to the external ambient brightness, generates a control signal according to the adjusted resistance value, the high-level voltage signal and the reference voltage signal, and then generates a working voltage according to the control signal and the power voltage through the voltage regulating circuit 200, so that the light emitting source can adjust its own brightness according to the working voltage, and reduce the difference between its own brightness and the ambient brightness.
In some embodiments provided herein, the control circuit 100 includes a first voltage dividing branch 110 and a comparing branch 120.
The first input end of the first voltage division branch 110 is connected to the high level voltage signal, the second input end of the first voltage division branch 110 is grounded, the first voltage division branch 110 is configured to receive the high level voltage signal, adjust a resistance value of the first voltage division branch according to the external environment brightness, and generate a feedback voltage according to the adjusted resistance value of the first voltage division branch and the high level voltage signal.

In some embodiments provided herein, the voltage regulating circuit 200 includes a switching branch 210 and a second voltage dividing branch 220.
The first input end of the switch branch 210 is connected to the output end of the comparison branch 120, the second input end of the switch branch 210 is connected to the power voltage, the third input end of the switch branch 210 is grounded, the output end of the switch branch 210 is connected to the light emitting source, and the switch branch 210 is configured to receive the control signal, use the power voltage as the working voltage according to the control signal, and output the working voltage to the light emitting source.

In this embodiment, the switch branch 210 is opened or closed according to the control signal. When the switching branch 210 is closed, the power voltage is the working voltage and is provided to the light-emitting source through the switching branch 210. When the switching branch 210 is turned off, a working voltage is provided through the second voltage-dividing branch 220, and at this time, the working voltage is equal to a power voltage minus a voltage across the second voltage-dividing branch 220, and a voltage across the light-emitting source is reduced, thereby causing a reduction in luminance.
In some embodiments provided herein, the first voltage-dividing branch 110 includes a first resistor R1 and a second resistor R2.
A first terminal of the first resistor R1 is connected to the high level voltage signal, a second terminal of the first resistor R1 is connected to a second input terminal of the comparing branch 120, and the first resistor R1 is a photo-resistor.
A first terminal of the second resistor R2 is connected to a second terminal of the first resistor R1 and a second input terminal of the comparison branch 120, and a second terminal of the second resistor R2 is grounded.
In this embodiment, the first resistor R1 is a photo resistor, and the resistance thereof decreases with the increase of the brightness, and when the brightness in the surrounding environment reaches the brightness threshold thereof, the resistance thereof is equal to about 0. Thus, the feedback voltage is equal to VDD when the ambient brightness is greater than its brightness threshold. When the ambient brightness is less than the brightness threshold, the brightness of the first resistor R1 gradually increases, and the feedback voltage is VDD × R2/(R1+ R2).
Referring to fig. 3, a window 310 is formed on a front frame covering edge (corresponding to a dotted line in fig. 3), and the first resistor R1 detects the brightness of the surrounding environment through the window 310. That is, the first resistor R1 is located in the non-display area, and the arrangement of the first resistor R1 at this position will not affect the normal display of the display area, nor will it be blocked by the front frame to affect the detection effect.
In some embodiments, the comparing branch 120 includes a comparator D1, a positive input terminal of the comparator D1 is connected to the reference voltage signal, a negative input terminal of the comparator D1 is connected to the second terminal of the first resistor R1 and the first terminal of the second resistor R2, and an output terminal of the comparator D1 is connected to the first input terminal of the switch circuit.
In this embodiment, the voltage of the reference voltage signal is about VDD × 80%, so when the ambient brightness is greater than the brightness threshold, the voltage of the positive input terminal of the comparator D1 is less than the voltage of the negative input terminal thereof, and the comparator D1 outputs a low-level control signal. When the ambient brightness is less than the brightness threshold, the brightness of the first resistor R1 gradually increases, and the feedback voltage VDD × R2/(R1+ R2) is less than the reference voltage signal, the comparator D1 outputs a high-level control signal.
In some embodiments provided herein, the switching leg 210 includes a switching tube M1 and a third resistor R3.
The gate of the switch tube M1 is connected to the output terminal of the comparator D1, the source of the switch tube M1 is connected to the power voltage, and the drain of the switch tube M1 is connected to the light source.

It is understood that when the control signal is a low level signal, the switch tube M1 is turned on, and the power voltage is directly supplied to the light emitting source through the switch tube M1. When the control signal is a high level signal, the switching tube M1 is turned off, and the fourth resistor R4 provides a working voltage for the light source, where the working voltage provided for the light source is equal to the power voltage minus the voltage across the fourth resistor R4.

When the ambient brightness is less than the brightness threshold of the first resistor R1 (e.g., 30 lumens), the resistance of the first resistor R1 increases, the voltage value at the negative input terminal of the comparator D1 is VDD × R2/(R1+ R2), and by setting the ratio of the first resistor R1 to the second resistor R2, the voltage value VDD × R2/(R1+ R2) at the negative input terminal of the comparator D1 is less than the reference voltage signal value Vref when the ambient brightness is less than the brightness threshold of the first resistor R1. At this time, the control signal output by the comparator D1 is a high level signal, the gate of the switching tube M1 is at a high level, and the switching tube M1 is turned off. At this time, the voltage applied to the LED string is Vled × R3/(R2+ R3), that is, the voltage applied to the LED string decreases, and the backlight brightness decreases.
In some embodiments provided by the present application, the switching transistor M1 may be a field effect transistor or a triode.
Based on the same inventive concept, the application also provides a backlight module. The backlight module includes: LED lamp cluster and drive circuit. The LED lamp string comprises a plurality of LED lamps and is used for providing light sources. The driving circuit is connected with the LED lamp string and used for supplying power to the LED lamp string.

In some embodiments provided herein, the control circuit 100 includes a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, and a comparator D1.

In this embodiment, the first resistor R1 is a photo resistor, and the resistance thereof decreases with the increase of the brightness, and when the brightness in the surrounding environment reaches the brightness threshold thereof, the resistance thereof is equal to about 0. Thus, the feedback voltage is equal to VDD when the ambient brightness is greater than its brightness threshold. When the ambient brightness is less than the brightness threshold, the brightness of the first resistor R1 gradually increases, and the feedback voltage is VDD × R2/(R1+ R2).
Assuming that the high-level voltage signal is VDD, the power supply voltage is Vled, the first resistor R1 is a photo-resistor, the second resistor R2, the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4 are all common resistors, the reference voltage is VDD × 80%, and the equivalent resistor of the LED light string is Rled.

When the ambient brightness is less than the brightness threshold of the first resistor R1 (e.g., 30 lumens), the resistance of the first resistor R1 increases, the voltage value at the negative input terminal of the comparator D1 is VDD × R2/(R1+ R2), and by setting the ratio of the first resistor R1 to the second resistor R2, the voltage value VDD × R2/(R1+ R2) at the negative input terminal of the comparator D1 is less than the reference voltage signal value Vref when the ambient brightness is less than the brightness threshold of the first resistor R1. At this time, the control signal output by the comparator D1 is a high level signal, the gate of the switching tube M1 is at a high level, and the switching tube M1 is turned off. At this time, the voltage applied to the LED string is Vled × R3/(R2+ R3), that is, the brightness of the LED string is reduced when the voltage applied to the LED string is reduced, so the backlight brightness of the backlight module is reduced.
