Description

Optical mouse light-source brightness control device
Technical field
The invention relates to the technical field of optical mouse, refer to a kind of optical mouse light-source brightness control device especially.
Background technology
In general existing optical mouse, be mouse pad or other objects to be carried out rayed with a light emitting diode (LED), again by the image framework (Frame) on the image sensor retrieval mouse pad, image relatively and obtain the motion-vector of this optical mouse is by direction and the distance to judge that optical mouse moves.Fig. 1 is the circuit block diagram of existing optical mouse, its comprise a light source 210,
One resistance 220 and an optical processor 230.This light source 210 is a light emitting diode (LED), and it utilizes the value of this resistance 220, with the adjustment magnitude of current of light source 210 of flowing through, and determines the brightness of this light source 210.Existing optical mouse mainly contains dual mode to the control of light-emitting diode lighting, is illustrated in figure 2 as the control timing figure to light-emitting diode lighting, and wherein, the framework signal is to be the start signal of each image framework or synchronizing signal.First kind of mode is usual pattern (Normal mode), whether lighting of this light emitting diode 210, be whether to use decision by optical mouse, during using (Active), all light, and all do not light during (Idle) during in non-moving detection in optical mouse, therefore, light a lamp/time of turning off the light can cross over whole framework.And the second way is shutter mode (Shutter mode), whether lighting of light emitting diode 210, be that and then shutter opening decides (see figure 2) during active, only when shutter starts, just light light emitting diode, and adjust the exposure that this optical processor 230 is received according to the switching time of shutter.
With aforesaid optical mouse, when this resistance 220 was soldered to circuit board, the magnitude of current of this light source 210 of flowing through was promptly fixing, that is the brightness of this light source 210 can't remake the elasticity adjustment.When the induction sensitivity of this optical processor 230 very high and to light when very sensitive, since the lighting of light source 210 continue during the shutter opening or even during whole optical mouse uses (Acttve), even and might cause shutter can't dwindle again and image that this optical processor 230 is responded to still has saturated phenomenon, and then cause optical mouse can't carry out coherent detection.
In addition, facing dark drawing with aforementioned mouse, need long aperture time to come imaging, because the brightness of the demand of processing speed so light source 210 must be kept certain high brightness, under the suspend state (USB Suspend current standard is restricted to 500uA), and the unlatching light source 210 of long period and cause to meet correlated current restriction standard, therefore the aforementioned mouse with prior art can't move detection under the Suspend state, can't realize moving and wake (Motion Wakeup) function up.
In addition, because light source 210 is lighted extinguish, it is excessive to cause immediate current to consume, and is easy to generate noise.As shown in Figure 3, the electric current of this light source 210 of flowing through when light source 210 is opened and closed (A, B place), has a too drastic phenomenon (over-shooting and under-shooting), causes the misoperation of optical mouse easily because of the difference of video imaging.
