As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a backlight constant current control circuit 1, where the backlight constant current control circuit 1 includes a light emitting module 2 and a constant current control module 3; the constant current control module 3 comprises a first switch unit 4 which is connected with the light-emitting module 2 in series; the constant current control module 3 is configured to adjust the conduction time and the conduction degree of the first switch unit 4 when detecting that the working current of the light emitting module 2 deviates from the preset current, so as to adjust the working current of the light emitting module 2 to the preset current, and maintain the light emitting brightness of the light emitting module 2 to be the preset light emitting brightness.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the luminance of the light emitting module 2 is controlled by the working current; the working current is the actual current when the light emitting module 2 emits light, and the preset current is the current flowing through the light emitting module 2 when the light emitting module 2 presets the light emitting brightness; therefore, the preset current can be obtained according to the preset light emission luminance.
Specifically, the light emitting module 2 includes a plurality of LEDs arranged in series, specifically, a plurality of Mini-LEDs arranged in series, and in this embodiment, 4 LEDs arranged in series are taken as an example for illustration. Since the average current in unit time is used for determining the brightness of the LED, both the working current and the preset current can be understood as the average current. Since the light emitting module 2 is connected in series with the first switch unit 4, the light emitting time of the light emitting module 2 can be controlled by controlling the on-time of the first switch unit 4, so as to control the average current of the light emitting module 2 and realize the adjustment of the working current of the light emitting module 2. In addition, the first switch unit 4 in the embodiment of the present application is a voltage-controlled device, such as a transistor, which may be specifically an NMOS transistor; the on-resistance Rds between the drain and the source of the first switching unit 4 can be controlled by controlling Vgs (voltage between the gate and the source) of the first switching unit 4, that is, the on-state of the first switching unit 4; since the light emitting module 2 is disposed in series with the first switching unit 4, the voltage division of the light emitting module 2 on the whole circuit can be controlled by controlling the magnitude of Rds, thereby adjusting the operating current of the light emitting module 2. Therefore, the embodiment of the application can adjust the light emitting time and the partial pressure of the light emitting module 2 by adjusting the conduction time and the conduction degree of the first switch unit 4, thereby adjusting the working current of the light emitting module 2 to the preset current, keeping the light emitting brightness of the light emitting module 2 to the preset light emitting brightness, avoiding the problems of current fluctuation and uneven brightness caused by the short circuit of the LED in the light emitting module 2, and being beneficial to improving the stability of backlight brightness, and being beneficial to improving the display effect when the backlight constant current control circuit 1 is applied to a display device.

The sampling unit 6 is electrically connected with the light-emitting module 2 through the first switch unit 4; the feedback unit 5 is electrically connected to the sampling unit 6 and the first switch unit 4, and is configured to detect a voltage Vs across the sampling unit 6, determine that the working current of the light emitting module 2 deviates from a preset current when the voltage Vs across the sampling unit 6 deviates from a preset voltage Vref, and adjust the conduction time and the conduction degree of the first switch unit 4 to adjust the working current of the light emitting module 2 to the preset current.
In particular, the sampling unit 6 has a fixed resistance R0The light emitting module 2, the first switching unit 4 and the sampling unit 6 are connected in series, and thus flow through the light emitting module 2, the first switching unit 4 and the sampling unit6, the current is the same; therefore, the operating current of the light emitting module 2 can be obtained from the voltage Vs across the sampling unit 6. In the embodiment of the present application, when the preset voltage Vref is the voltage Vs at two ends of the sampling unit 6 when the current of the sampling unit 6 is the preset current, that is, the preset voltage Vref is equal to the preset current × R0Therefore, the magnitude of the working current of the light emitting module 2 can be compared with the magnitude of the preset current by comparing the voltage Vs across the sampling unit 6 with the magnitude of the preset voltage Vref.
Specifically, the feedback unit 5 includes a level shifter Ls, a first PWM controller 7, and a comparator Com.
The comparator Com is electrically connected with the sampling unit 6 and the first PWM controller 7, and is configured to detect a voltage Vs across the sampling unit 6, and compare the voltage Vs across the sampling unit 6 with a preset voltage Vref; when the voltage Vs across the sampling unit 6 deviates from the preset voltage Vref, it is determined that the operating current of the light emitting module 2 deviates from the preset current, and a level signal is output to the first PWM controller 7 according to the degree of deviation. The first PWM controller 7 is further electrically connected to the level shifter Ls for outputting a first duty cycle signal to the level shifter Ls according to the level signal. The level shifter Ls is further electrically connected to the first switch unit 4, and is configured to adjust a level of the first duty ratio signal, and adjust a conduction time and a conduction degree of the first switch unit 4 according to the adjusted first duty ratio signal.
Specifically, when the working current of the light emitting module 2 deviates (is greater than) the preset current in the positive direction, the comparator Com outputs a first level signal to the first PWM controller 7, and when the working current of the light emitting module 2 deviates (is less than) the preset current in the negative direction, the comparator Com outputs a second level signal to the first PWM controller 7; the first PWM controller 7 outputs different first duty ratio signals according to the first level signal and the second level signal.
Specifically, the level shifter Ls is used to amplify the first duty cycle signal, i.e. to increase the level of the first duty cycle signal.
In one embodiment, the first switch unit 4 is a first transistor Q1, specifically an NMOS transistor; the sampling unit 6 is a sampling resistor Rs. The drain of the first transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the light emitting module 2, the source of the first transistor Q1 is grounded via the sampling resistor Rs, and the gate of the first transistor Q1 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the level shifter Ls. An input terminal of the comparator Com is electrically connected to the source of the first transistor Q1, and an output terminal of the comparator Com is electrically connected to an input terminal of the first PWM controller 7. The output of the first PWM controller 7 is electrically connected to the input of the level shift.
It is understood that the input terminal of the light emitting module 2 is an anode terminal, and the output terminal of the light emitting module 2 is a cathode terminal.
In particular, the comparator Com comprises a non-inverting input (+) and an inverting input (-). When the non-inverting input end of the comparator Com is electrically connected with the source electrode of the first transistor Q1, the non-inverting input end of the comparator Com is connected with a preset voltage Vref, and at the moment, the non-inverting input end of the comparator Com receives the voltage Vs at the two ends of the sampling resistor Rs; comparing the voltage Vs across the sampling unit 6 with the preset voltage Vref, if the voltage Vs across the sampling unit 6 is greater than the preset voltage Vref, the comparator Com outputs a high level signal to the first PWM controller 7, and if the voltage Vs across the sampling unit 6 is less than the preset voltage Vref, the comparator Com outputs a low level signal to the first PWM controller 7. Of course, when the inverting input terminal of the comparator Com is electrically connected to the source of the first transistor Q1, the non-inverting input terminal of the comparator Com is connected to the preset voltage Vref, and at this time, the inverting input terminal of the comparator Com receives the voltage Vs across the sampling resistor Rs; comparing the voltage Vs across the sampling unit 6 with the preset voltage Vref, if the voltage Vs across the sampling unit 6 is greater than the preset voltage Vref, the comparator Com outputs a low level signal to the first PWM controller 7, and if the voltage Vs across the sampling unit 6 is less than the preset voltage Vref, the comparator Com outputs a high level signal to the first PWM controller 7.
In an embodiment, the constant current control module 3 may further include a controller electrically connected to an input terminal of the comparator Com, and configured to output the preset voltage Vref to the comparator Com. The constant current control module 3 may further include an adjusting resistor, one end of the adjusting resistor is electrically connected to the controller, and the other end of the adjusting resistor is grounded. The controller can adjust the preset luminance of the light emitting module 2 according to the resistance of the adjusting resistor, and it can be understood that the preset voltage Vref output by the controller is different when the resistance of the adjusting resistor is different. The setting of the adjusting resistor can enable the constant current control module 3 to be suitable for the light emitting modules 2 with different brightness requirements, and the application range is enlarged.
Specifically, the backlight constant current control circuit 1 further includes a voltage boosting module 8 electrically connected to the input terminal of the light emitting module 2, and configured to provide a preset power voltage VDD to the input terminal of the light emitting module 2. The boost module 8 comprises a charge and discharge unit 9, a second switching unit 10 and a third switching unit 11; the charge and discharge unit 9 is electrically connected to the second switching unit 10 and the third switching unit 11, respectively, and the third switching unit 11 is electrically connected to an input terminal of the light emitting module 2. The boosting module 8 is used for adjusting the conducting time of the second switching unit 10 and the third switching unit 11 according to preset light-emitting brightness; the charging and discharging unit 9 is charged when the first switch unit 4 is turned on, and the charging and discharging unit 9 is discharged when the second switch unit 10 is turned on, so as to output a predetermined power voltage VDD to the input terminal of the light emitting module 2.
It should be noted that the preset power voltage VDD in this embodiment is a fixed voltage.
Specifically, the boost module 8 further includes a driver 12 and a second PWM controller 13; the charging and discharging unit 9 is an inductor Lf, the second switching unit 10 is a second transistor Q2, specifically an NMOS transistor, and the third switching unit 11 is a third transistor Q3, specifically a PMOS transistor. The second PWM controller 13 is electrically connected to an input terminal of the driver 12, and is configured to output a second duty ratio signal to the driver 12 according to a preset light emitting brightness. An input terminal of the driver 12 is electrically connected to the second PWM controller 13, and an output terminal of the driver 12 is electrically connected to a gate of the second transistor Q2 and a gate of the third transistor Q3, respectively, for adjusting turn-on times of the second transistor Q2 and the third transistor Q3, respectively, according to the second duty signal. One end of the inductor Lf is connected to the input voltage Vin, the other end is electrically connected to the drain of the second transistor Q2 and the source of the third transistor Q3, the source of the second transistor Q2 is grounded, and the drain of the third transistor Q3 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the light emitting module 2.
Specifically, the boost module 8 may boost the input voltage Vin to a preset output voltage through a charging process of the inductor Lf, and may output the preset output voltage to the input end of the light emitting module 2 through a discharging process of the inductor Lf.
Specifically, the boost module 8 further includes a first capacitor C1 and a second capacitor C2. One end of the first capacitor C1 is electrically connected to one end of the inductor Lf far away from the second transistor Q2, and the other end is grounded, so as to stabilize the input voltage Vin; one end of the second capacitor C2 is electrically connected to the input end of the light emitting module 2, and the other end is grounded, so as to keep the preset output voltage VDD stable.
Specifically, the other input end of the driver 12 is further connected to an enable signal En, when the enable signal En is at a high level, the driver 12 is in an operating state, and when the enable signal En is at a low level, the driver 12 is in a shutdown state; the enable signal En may be provided to the driver 12 by gate driving.
Specifically, the working principle of the boost module 8 is as follows: when the driver 12 is connected to the enable signal En of high level, the boost module 8 starts to operate, the second PWM controller 13 outputs a second duty ratio signal to the driver 12 according to the preset light emitting brightness of the light emitting module 2, the driver 12 controls the second transistor Q2 and the third transistor Q3 to be sequentially turned on according to the second duty ratio signal, when the second transistor Q2 is turned on and the third transistor Q3 is turned off, the inductor Lf is charged, the input voltage Vin flows through the inductor Lf, and the current on the inductor Lf linearly increases at a certain proportion; when the second transistor Q2 is turned off and the third transistor Q3 is turned on, the inductor Lf discharges, and the current flowing through the inductor Lf flows to the input terminal of the light emitting module 2 and charges the second capacitor C2, so that the voltage VDD received by the input terminal of the light emitting module 2 is higher than the input voltage Vin. Therefore, by controlling the turn-on time of the second transistor Q2 and the third transistor Q3 to be different, the increase ratio of the input voltage Vin can be controlled to be different, and different VDD can be provided according to the preset brightness.
Of course, the embodiment of the present application does not limit to providing the preset power voltage VDD to the input terminal of the light emitting module 2 in other ways.

Specifically, the plurality of constant current control modules in the plurality of backlight constant current control circuits are integrally arranged in the same control chip 16, and the boost module in the backlight constant current control circuit may also be integrally arranged in the control chip 16. At this time, the light emitting modules and the connecting lines between the light emitting modules and the control chip 16 are arranged in the backlight subarea 15, and the control chip 16 can be arranged in the frame area or the back of the backlight structure 14, so as to avoid being arranged in the backlight subarea 15, and the light emitting modules of a plurality of subareas can be controlled by one control chip 16, so that the circuit structure of the backlight subarea 15 can be effectively simplified, and the cost can be reduced.
Specifically, a first end of the control chip 16 is connected to the input voltage Vin, a second end of the control chip 16 is connected to the enable signal En, a third end of the control chip 16 is grounded, a fourth end of the control chip 16 is electrically connected to the output ends of the light emitting modules in the backlight partitions 15, and a fifth end of the control chip 16 is electrically connected to the output ends of the light emitting modules in the backlight partitions 15.
Fig. 3a and 3b illustrate an example of 4 backlight partitions 15, and the 4 backlight partitions 15 are respectively provided with light emitting modules D1, D2, D3 and D4. As shown in fig. 3a, when the brightness requirements of the 4 backlight partitions 15 are consistent, that is, the preset brightness luminances of the light emitting modules D1, D2, D3 and D4 are the same, only one boosting module may be disposed in the control chip 16, and the output terminals of the boosting module are electrically connected to the input terminals of the light emitting modules D1, D2, D3 and D4, respectively, for providing the same preset power voltage VDD; at this time, the number of the boosting modules can be reduced, and the number of the input ends of the enable signal En can be reduced, thereby facilitating the simplification of the circuit and the cost saving. As shown in fig. 3b, when the brightness requirements of the 4 backlight partitions 15 are different, a voltage boosting module is disposed in the control chip 16 corresponding to each backlight partition 15, such that VDD received by the input terminals of the light emitting modules D1, D2, D3 and D4 are different, for example, VDD1, VDD2, VDD3 and VDD4, and each voltage boosting module corresponds to an enable signal En, for example, En1, En2, En3 and En 4.
In this implementation, the constant current control module in the backlight structure 14 can perform constant current control on the light emitting module, so as to avoid the influence of fluctuation of the working current caused by the short circuit of the LED on the brightness of the light emitting module, and therefore, the backlight structure 14 can be applied to a liquid crystal display device to provide a backlight source with stable brightness for a liquid crystal display panel, which is beneficial to the stability and uniform distribution of the backlight brightness, thereby being beneficial to improving the display effect. In addition, the constant current control module and the boost module in the backlight structure 14 are integrated in one control chip 16, so that the backlight structure 14 can adjust the light emitting brightness of the light emitting modules of the plurality of backlight partitions 15 through one control chip 16, which is beneficial to simplifying the circuit structure of the backlight partitions 15 and reducing the cost.
