  3A is a plan view of the LED light emitting device 200, FIG. 3B is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA ′ of FIG. 3A, and FIG. 3C is a front view of the LED light emitting device 200. FIG. 3D is a right side view of the LED light emitting device 200. The rear view of the LED light emitting device 200 is the same as FIG. 3C, and the left side view of the LED light emitting device 200 is the same as FIG.

  The LED light emitting device 200 is configured by configuring the LED drive circuit 20 shown in FIG. 1 as a light emitting device. In the LED light emitting device 200, the second dam material 3, the third dam material formed concentrically with the first dam material 2 on the outside of the first dam material 2 and the first dam material 2 on the substrate 1. 4, an anode terminal 31 and a cathode terminal 31 'are arranged. The 3rd dam material 4 is provided so that a part of rectangular shape may be comprised in the right and left in the figure of the 2nd dam material 3 so that the 2nd dam material 3 may be connected.

  The 1st dam material 2, the 2nd dam material 3, and the 3rd dam material 4 are formed from the silicone resin in which the white particle was mixed. The substrate 1 is composed of a ceramic substrate, and the surface thereof has a high reflectance. In addition, in the example of FIG. 3, although the 1st dam material 2 and the 2nd dam material 3 were formed circularly, you may form in a polygonal annular | circular shape.

  In the first dam material 2, ten first LEDs constituting the first LED group L1 are directly bonded onto the substrate 1 with a die bond material. In the region between the first dam material 2 and the second dam material 3, 45 second LEDs constituting the second LED group L2 and the third LED group L3 are directly bonded onto the substrate 1 with a die bond material. . Further, in the region between the second dam material 3 and the third dam material 4, the electronic components such as the full-wave rectifying diode bridge circuit 22, the FET, and the resistor shown in FIG. 1 are arranged. Although not shown, electrodes for connecting each LED group and the like to the anode terminal 31 and the cathode terminal 31 ′ are arranged on the substrate 1.

  A first phosphor-containing resin 6 is formed inside the first dam material 2 so as to cover the ten first LEDs constituting the first LED group L1. The first phosphor-containing resin 6 is not in contact with the first dam material 2 and is illustrated in FIG. 3A between the second dam material 3 and the first phosphor-containing resin 6. Thus, it has the internal region 9 where the surface of the substrate 1 is exposed.

  In the region between the first dam material 2 and the second dam material 3, the second phosphor-containing resin 7 is formed so as to cover the 45 second LEDs constituting the second LED group L2 and the third LED group L3. Has been. The second phosphor-containing resin 7 is formed so as to cover the entire region between the first dam material 2 and the second dam material 3. Further, in the region between the second dam material 3 and the third dam material 4, the second phosphor-containing resin 7 is placed between the second dam material 3 and the third dam material 4 so as to cover the electronic component. Are formed in all regions.

  The first LED and the first phosphor-containing resin 6 constituting the first LED group L1 emit orange to red light by the first phosphor-containing resin 6 absorbing part of the blue light from the first LED. As a whole, it is set to emit light having a color temperature of 1600K. In addition, the second LED and the second phosphor-containing resin 7 constituting the second LED group L2 and the third LED group are yellow light when the second phosphor-containing resin 7 absorbs part of the blue light from the second LED. Is set to emit light having a color temperature of 2780K as a whole.

  Since the first phosphor-containing resin 6 has a higher viscosity than the second phosphor-containing resin 7, the first phosphor-containing resin 6 does not spread over the entire interior of the first dam material 2, and has a rod shape as illustrated in FIG. 1. It is solidified while maintaining the state. On the other hand, since the second phosphor-containing resin 7 has a relatively low viscosity, the region between the first dam material 2 and the second dam material 3, and the second dam material 3 and the third dam. It spreads evenly in the area between the material 4 and solidifies so as to cover the whole area.

  Since the first phosphor-containing resin 6 is arranged so as to cover the ten first LEDs constituting the first LED group L1, the surface of the substrate 1 is exposed as an internal region 9 in the periphery thereof. doing. Therefore, once the light emitted from the first phosphor-containing resin 6 is emitted obliquely downward (on the substrate 1 side) from the first phosphor-containing resin 6, it is reflected at other locations and returned. In this case, since the light is reflected on the surface of the substrate 1, the light use efficiency is increased.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a current waveform of each part of the LED drive circuit 20 and an output voltage waveform 31 of the full-wave rectifying diode bridge circuit 22.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the LED drive system 10 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 4, a curve 40 shows the waveform of the current Ia flowing through the first LED group L1, and a curve 41 shows the waveform of the combined current (Ib + Ic) flowing through the second LED group L2 and the third LED group L3.

  In the first LED group L1, since ten LEDs are connected in series, a voltage of about forward voltage V1 (10 × Vf = 10 × 3.2 = 32 (V)) is applied to the first LED group L1. Then, the LEDs included in the first LED group L1 are turned on. In the second LED group L2 connected in parallel with the first LED group L1, 35 LEDs are connected in series, so the forward voltage V2 (35 × Vf = 35 × 3.2 = 112 (V)) When a voltage of about a level is applied to the second LED group L2, the LEDs included in the first LED group L2 are turned on. In the third LED group L3 connected in series with the second LED group L2, since ten LEDs are connected in series, the forward voltage V3 ((35 + 10) × Vf = 45 × 3.2 = 144 (V When a voltage of about)) is applied to the second LED group L2 and the third LED group L3, the LEDs included in the second LED group L2 and the third LED group L3 are lit.

  When the output voltage of the full-wave rectifying diode bridge circuit 22 is 0 (V) at time t0 (time t7), any one of the first LED group L1, the second LED group L2, and the third LED group L3 is lit. Since the voltage has not been reached, all LEDs are not lit.

  At time t1, when the output voltage of the full-wave rectifying diode bridge circuit 22 becomes the forward voltage V1, the voltage is sufficient to turn on the first LED group L1, and the current Ia begins to flow and is included in the first LED group L1. LED lights up. At this time, the FET Q1 is in an ON state. At this time, the voltage included in the second LED group L2 is not lit because the voltage is not sufficient to turn on the second LED group L2 connected in parallel with the first LED group L1.

  At time t2, when the output voltage of the full-wave rectifying diode bridge circuit 22 becomes the forward voltage V2, the voltage is sufficient to light the second LED group L2, and the current Ib starts to flow through the bypass path 23, and the second LED group The LED included in L2 lights up. At this time, the FET Q2 is in an ON state. If the current flowing through the resistor R1-2 increases due to the start of the current Ib, the gate voltage of the FET Q1 decreases with the voltage drop due to the resistor R1-2, and the FET Q1 shifts from the ON state to the OFF state. Thus, the current Ia flowing through the first LED group L1 is limited. Therefore, the LEDs included in the first LED group L1 are turned off, and the LEDs included in the second LED group L2 are turned on instead.

  At time t3, when the output voltage of the full-wave rectifying diode bridge circuit 22 becomes the forward voltage V3, the voltage is sufficient to turn on the second LED group L2 and the third LED group L3, and the current Ic starts to flow. The LEDs included in the group L2 and the third LED group L3 are lit. At this time, the FET Q3 operates at a constant current by feeding back the voltage drop of the resistor R3-2. If the current flowing through the resistor R2-2 increases due to the start of the current Ic, the gate voltage of the FET Q2 decreases with the voltage drop due to the resistor R2-2, and the FET Q2 shifts from the ON state to the OFF state. Thus, the current Ib flowing through the bypass path 23 is limited. Note that since the current flowing through the resistor R1-2 is increasing, the FET Q1 is maintained in the OFF state, and the LEDs included in the first LED group L1 are kept off.

  When the output voltage of the full-wave rectifying diode bridge circuit 22 becomes lower than the forward voltage V3 at time t4, the voltage is not sufficient to turn on the second LED group L2 and the third LED group L3, and the current Ic does not flow. The current flowing through the resistor R2-2 decreases, the gate voltage of the FET Q2 increases, the FET Q2 shifts from the OFF state to the ON state, and the current Ib begins to flow through the bypass path 23. As a result, the LEDs included in the third LED group L3 are turned off, and only the LEDs included in the second LED group L2 are turned on.

  When the output voltage of the full-wave rectifying diode bridge circuit 22 becomes lower than the forward voltage V2 at time t5, the voltage is not sufficient to turn on the second LED group L2, and the current Ib does not flow. The current flowing through the resistor R1-2 decreases, the gate voltage of the FET Q1 increases, the FET Q1 shifts from the OFF state to the ON state, and the current Ia begins to flow through the first LED group L1. As a result, the LEDs included in the second LED group L2 are turned off, and only the LEDs included in the first LED group L1 are turned on.

  When the output voltage of the full-wave rectifying diode bridge circuit 22 becomes lower than the forward voltage V1 at time t6, the voltage is not sufficient to turn on the first LED group L1, the current Ia does not flow, and all the LEDs are turned off. To do. Thereafter, the above state is repeated.

  As described above, in the LED drive circuit, only the first LED included in the first LED group L1 is lit during the period of time t1 to t2 and time t5 to t6. Further, the second LED included in the second LED group L2 is lit during the period from time t2 to t5, and the second LED included in the third LED group L3 is lit during the period from time t3 to t4.

  Since the number of series stages of the first LEDs included in the first LED group L1 is 10 and the number of series stages of the second LEDs included in the second LED group L2 is 35, the ratio thereof is 1: 3.5. The brightness of each LED group is generally determined by the product of the number of LEDs that emit light and the current. Accordingly, the first LED group that emits light with a low current in the low voltage phase and emits less light than the second LED group emits light. In addition, if the ratio of the number of series stages of the first LEDs included in the first LED group L1 and the number of series stages of the second LEDs included in the second LED group L2 is smaller than 1: 3, dimming-light emission color characteristics similar to those of a filament bulb are obtained. It was confirmed that it was obtained.

  As described above, in the LED drive circuit 20, as the rectified output voltage increases, the light emitted from the first LED group L1 that contributes to the emission of light with a low color temperature with a small amount of light emitted from the first LED group L1. Since switching to the light emission of the second LED group L2 that contributes to light emission, the reddishness due to light control can be easily controlled.

  FIG. 5 is a circuit diagram of the LED driving system 100 for comparison.

  The same components as those of the LED drive system 10 shown in FIG. The LED driving system 100 is different from the LED driving system 10 only in the configuration of the LED driving circuit 120.

  The LED drive circuit 120 includes an anode terminal 121, a cathode terminal 121 ′, a full-wave rectifying diode bridge circuit 122, a first LED group L11 in which 10 LEDs are connected in series, and a 25th LED in series. 2LED group L12, 3rd LED group L13 to which 10 LED was connected in series, the 1st bypass path | route 123, the 2nd bypass path | route 124 grade | etc.,. The first LED group L11, the second LED group L12, and the third LED group L13 are connected in series to the output of the full-wave rectifying diode bridge circuit 22.

  The FET Q11 functions as a current limiting unit that limits the current Id flowing through the first bypass path 123 provided between the first LED group L11 and the second LED group L12. Specifically, the gate voltage of the FET Q11 is changed via the resistor R11-1 according to the current flowing through the resistor R11-2, so that the drain-source between the FET Q11 is ON / OFF controlled.

  The FET Q12 functions as a current limiting unit that limits the current Ie flowing through the second bypass path 124 provided between the second LED group L12 and the third LED group L13. Specifically, the gate voltage of the FET Q12 changes via the resistor R21-1 in accordance with the current flowing through the resistor R12-2, so that the drain-source between the FET Q12 is ON / OFF controlled.

  The FET Q13 functions as a current limiting unit that limits the current If flowing through the third LED group L13. Specifically, the upper limit value of the current If between the drain and source of the FET Q13 is limited by changing the gate voltage of the FET Q13 via the resistor R13-1 according to the current flowing through the resistor R13-2.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a current waveform of each part of the LED drive circuit 120 and an output voltage waveform 131 of the full-wave rectifying diode bridge circuit 122.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the LED drive system 100 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 6, a curve 60 shows the waveform of the combined current (Id + Ie + If) flowing through the first LED group L11, the second LED group L12, and the third LED group L13.

  In the first LED group L11, since ten LEDs are connected in series, a voltage of about forward voltage V1 (10 × Vf = 10 × 3.2 = 32 (V)) is applied to the first LED group L11. Then, the LEDs included in the first LED group L11 are turned on. In the second LED group L12 connected in series with the first LED group L11, since 25 LEDs are connected in series, the forward voltage V2 ((10 + 25) × Vf = 35 × 3.2 = 112 (V When a voltage of about)) is applied to the first LED group L11 and the second LED group L12, the LEDs included in the first LED group L11 and the second LED group L12 are turned on. In the third LED group L13 connected in series with the first LED group L11 and the second LED group L12, since ten LEDs are connected in series, the forward voltage V3 ((10 + 25 + 10) × Vf = 45 × 3. When a voltage of about 2 = 144 (V) is applied to the first LED group L11, the second LED group L12, and the third LED group L13, the LEDs included in the first LED group L11, the second LED group L12, and the third LED group L13 Lights up.

  When the output voltage of the full-wave rectifying diode bridge circuit 122 is 0 (V) at time t0 (time t7), any one of the first LED group L11, the second LED group L12, and the third LED group L13 is lit. Since the voltage has not been reached, all LEDs are not lit.

  At time t1, when the output voltage of the full-wave rectifying diode bridge circuit 122 becomes the forward voltage V1, the voltage is sufficient to light the first LED group L11, and the current Id begins to flow through the first bypass path 122, LEDs included in one LED group L11 are lit. At this time, the FET Q11 is in an ON state. At this time, since the voltage is not sufficient to turn on the second LED group L12 or the third LED group L13 connected in series with the first LED group L11, only the LEDs included in the first LED group L11 are included. Light.

  At time t2, when the output voltage of the full-wave rectifying diode bridge circuit 122 becomes the forward voltage V2, the voltage is sufficient to turn on the first LED group L11 and the second LED group L12, and the current Ie begins to flow. The LEDs included in the group L11 and the second LED group L12 are lit. At this time, the FET Q12 is in an ON state. If the current flowing through the resistor R11-2 increases due to the start of the current Ie, the gate voltage of the FET Q11 decreases with the voltage drop due to the resistor R11-2, and the FET Q11 shifts from the ON state to the OFF state. Thus, the current Id flowing through the first bypass path 123 is limited.

  At time t3, when the output voltage of the full-wave rectifying diode bridge circuit 122 becomes the forward voltage V3, the voltage is sufficient to light the first LED group L11, the second LED group L12, and the third LED group L13, and the current If is At the beginning of the flow, the LEDs included in the first LED group L11, the second LED group L12, and the third LED group L13 are lit. At this time, the FET Q13 is in an ON state. When the current If starts to flow and the current flowing through the resistor R12-2 increases, the gate voltage of the FET Q12 decreases with the voltage drop due to the resistor R12-2, and the FET Q12 shifts from the ON state to the OFF state. Thus, the current Ie flowing through the second bypass path 124 is limited. Since the current flowing through the resistor R11-2 increases, the FET Q11 remains in the OFF state.

  When the output voltage of the full-wave rectifying diode bridge circuit 122 becomes lower than the forward voltage V3 at time t4, the voltage is not sufficient to light the first LED group L11, the second LED group L12, and the third LED group L13, and the current If stops flowing. The current flowing through the resistor R12-2 decreases, the gate voltage of the FET Q12 increases, the FET Q12 shifts from the OFF state to the ON state, and the current Ie begins to flow through the second bypass path 124. As a result, the LEDs included in the third LED group L13 are turned off, and only the LEDs included in the first LED group L11 and the second LED group L12 are turned on.

  When the output voltage of the full-wave rectifying diode bridge circuit 122 becomes lower than the forward voltage V2 at time t5, the voltage is not sufficient to light the first LED group L11 and the second LED group L12, and the current Ie does not flow. The current flowing through the resistor R11-2 decreases, the gate voltage of the FET Q11 increases, the FET Q11 shifts from the OFF state to the ON state, and the current Id begins to flow through the first bypass path 123. As a result, the LEDs included in the second LED group L12 are turned off, and only the LEDs included in the first LED group L11 are turned on.

  When the output voltage of the full-wave rectifying diode bridge circuit 122 becomes lower than the forward voltage V1 at time t6, the voltage is not sufficient to turn on the first LED group L1, the current Id does not flow, and all the LEDs are turned off. To do. Thereafter, the above state is repeated.

  The operation of the LED drive circuit 20 shown in FIG. 1 (or the LED light emitting device 200 configured by the LED drive circuit 20) will be described below in consideration of the difference from the LED drive circuit 120 in the comparative LED drive system 100 shown in FIG. Explained.

  When a voltage equal to or higher than the forward voltage drop (Vf) is applied to the LED, the LED emits light having a luminous intensity substantially proportional to the forward current (If). Therefore, when n LEDs are connected in series, the LEDs emit light when a voltage of n × Vf or higher is applied to the LEDs. Further, the rectified output voltage output from the diode bridge circuit that full-wave rectifies the alternating current supplied from the commercial power supply repeats a change from 0 v to the maximum output voltage at a period twice the commercial power supply frequency. Accordingly, the plurality of LEDs emit light only when the rectified output voltage is equal to or higher than n × Vf. However, when the rectified output voltage is less than n × Vf, the plurality of LEDs do not emit light, and the light emission period of the LED is shortened.

  Therefore, the LED drive circuit 120 divides the LEDs into three groups, and sequentially turns on each group according to the voltage from the rectified output voltage output from the diode bridge circuit 122 that performs full-wave rectification of the alternating current. Control is performed to lengthen the light emission period of the LED.

  Also, the first color temperature is set at the time of low-rate dimming (during dimming), and the second color temperature is higher than the first color temperature at 100% dimming. There is a need for lighting fixtures that can be configured to be.

  For example, in the LED drive circuit 120, in order to configure the above-described lighting fixture, it is conceivable to set the color temperature to 2700K at 100% dimming and to be reddish at low rate dimming. Therefore, in the LED drive circuit 120, the color temperature of light output from the phosphor-containing resin corresponding to the LEDs included in the first LED group L11 is set to 1600K, and corresponds to the LEDs included in the second LED group L12 and the third LED group L13. The color temperature of light output from the phosphor-containing resin is set to 4000K. In this case, at the time of 100% dimming, a plurality of emitted lights are mixed, and the color temperature of the entire comparison LED drive system 100 can be approximately 2700K. Further, at the time of low-rate dimming, 1600K that is the color temperature of light output from the phosphor-containing resin corresponding to the first LED group L11 is dominant, so that the color temperature of the entire LED drive circuit 120 is reddish. become.

  By the way, generally, when the color temperature is lowered, the conversion efficiency of the phosphor is extremely deteriorated. For example, in the case of 1600K, the conversion efficiency is reduced by about 50% compared to 2700K. In the case of the LED drive circuit 120, in order to make 1600K light dominant during low-rate dimming, the first LED group is made to correspond to 1600K so that 1600K light is emitted during low-rate dimming. However, the LEDs included in the first LED group L11 are lit at the forward voltage V1 or higher, and are lit for the longest period (from time t1 to time t6 in FIG. 6) among the three LED groups. That is, in the LED drive circuit 120, the group with the lowest conversion efficiency must be used for the longest period, which deteriorates the efficiency of the entire drive circuit.

  Further, in the LED drive circuit 120, since the LEDs included in the first LED group have been lit for the longest time, light having a color temperature of 1600K had to be taken into account even when 100% dimming was performed.

  Similarly, in the LED drive circuit 20, in order to configure the above-described lighting fixture, it is conceivable that the color temperature is set to 2700K at 100% dimming and reddish at low rate dimming. Therefore, in the LED drive circuit 20, the color temperature of light output from the phosphor-containing resin 6 corresponding to the first LED included in the first LED group L1 is set to 1600K, and the second LED group L2 and the third LED group L3 include the first LED. The color temperature of the light output from the phosphor-containing resin 7 corresponding to 2LED is 2780K. In this case, the light of the first LED and the second LED is mixed during 100% light control, and the color temperature of the entire LED driving system 10 can be approximately 2700K. Further, at the time of low-rate dimming, 1600K which is the color temperature of the light output from the phosphor-containing resin 6 corresponding to the first LED becomes dominant, and the LED drive circuit 20 (the LED light emission configured by the LED drive circuit 20). The overall color temperature of the apparatus 200) becomes reddish.

  On the other hand, in the LED drive circuit 20, the first LEDs included in the first LED group L1 are turned on at a forward voltage V1 or higher, but are turned off at a forward voltage V2 or higher, and are included in the second LED group L2 and the third LED group L3. While the second LED is lit, it is turned off. That is, since the group with poor conversion efficiency is used only when necessary (during low-rate light control), the light emission efficiency of the entire LED light emitting device can be improved.

  In the LED drive circuit 20, since only the first LED group L1 is lit when the rectified output voltage is low, the light emission time of the first LED group becomes longer with respect to the entire light emission period during low-rate dimming. The first color temperature, 1600K, becomes dominant. Further, since the light emission amount at the low color temperature is smaller than the light emission amount at the high color temperature, the second color temperature of 2780K is dominant at the time of 100% light control. Therefore, at the time of 100% light control, it is easy to set a desired color temperature, so that the emission color can be easily managed.

  The LED drive circuit 20 and the LED light emitting device 200 shown in FIG. 1 are examples, and it is possible to appropriately change and add elements to perform the same control. Further, the number of LEDs included in the first LED group L1, the second LED group L2, and the third LED group L3 described with respect to the LED driving system 10 is an example, and can be appropriately changed to a desired number. . The types of the first LED included in the first LED group L1, the second LED group L2 and the second LED included in the third LED group L3, and the types of the first phosphor-containing resin and the second phosphor-containing resin corresponding to each type are as follows. The color temperature may be selected as appropriate. Further, the resin used for the third phosphor-containing resin region may contain a black pigment instead of the phosphor.

That is, in FIG. 7A, the first phosphor-containing resin 211 is formed on the substrate 1 in a donut shape, and ten first LEDs are arranged therein. Since the front view and the side view are the same as FIGS. 3C and 3D, they are omitted.

That is, in FIG.7 (b), the 1st fluorescent substance containing resin 221 is formed on the board | substrate 1 in the state from which some circular arcs were missing from the donut shape, and 10 1st LED was arrange | positioned in the inside. Yes. Since the front view and the side view are the same as FIGS. 3C and 3D, they are omitted. Similarly to the LED light-emitting device 200, the LED light-emitting device 220 includes the LED driving circuit 20 shown in FIG. 1 as a light-emitting device.

  FIG. 7C is a plan view of another LED light emitting device 230 and a DD ′ cross-sectional view thereof. The difference between the LED light emitting device 230 and the LED light emitting device 200 shown in FIG. 3 is only the difference in the shapes of the first phosphor-containing resin 231 and the first phosphor-containing resin 6, and the others are all the same. .

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing another LED drive system 10 ′.

  The difference between the LED drive system 10 ′ shown in FIG. 8 and the LED drive system 10 shown in FIG. 1 is that the resistor R1-2 is divided into a resistor R1-2a and a resistor R1-2b, and the resistor R1-2b is different from the FET Q3. It is only the point arrange | positioned between resistance R1-2a. The LED drive system 10 'includes an LED drive circuit 20', the LED drive circuit 20 'includes a control unit 40', and the current flowing through the first LED group L1 is Ig. The other configuration of the LED drive system 10 ′ shown in FIG. 8 is the same as that of the LED drive system 10 shown in FIG. Further, the LED drive circuit 20 ′ shown in FIG. 8 can also be configured as an LED light emitting device as shown in FIGS.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a part of the current waveform of the LED drive circuit 20 ′. In addition, the voltage waveform shown in FIG. 9 is a waveform corresponding to the part shown with the broken line E of the voltage waveform shown in FIG. 4 regarding LED drive circuit 20 '.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the LED drive system 10 ′ will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 9, a curve 90 indicates a waveform of the current Ig flowing through the first LED group L1. In FIG. 9, the curve 31, the dotted curve 40, and the curve 41 are the same as those in FIG. 4.

  In the LED drive circuit 20 shown in FIG. 1, the current Ia flowing through the first LED group L1 decreases sharply immediately before time t2, while the current Ib flowing through the second LED group L2 increases rapidly (curve 40 and curve 41). On the other hand, in the LED drive circuit 20 ′ shown in FIG. 8, since the voltage drop of the resistor R1-2b due to the current Ib is small, the current Ig decreases when the current Ib begins to flow, and the period during which the current Ib becomes a constant current. The current Ig also maintains a constant current. Further, when the current Ic starts to flow, the current Ig becomes 0 (A). In the phase where the output voltage of the full-wave rectifying diode bridge circuit 22 drops, the reverse process is followed. The LED drive circuit 20 shown in FIG. 1 and the LED drive circuit 20 ′ shown in FIG. 8 actually have slightly different values of the current Ib, but the main part in FIG. 9 is the difference between the current Ia and the current Ig. Because of the way of attenuation, the difference in current Ib is ignored in FIG.

  In the LED drive circuit 20 ′ shown in FIG. 8, since the lighting time of the first LED group L1 is extended, in order to obtain the same amount of light emission as that of the first LED group L1 in the LED drive circuit 20 shown in FIG. It becomes possible to reduce. Further, in the LED drive circuit 20 ′, since the current Ig is gradually attenuated, the control unit 40 ′ provides a period in which only the first LED group L1 is lit and a period in which both the first LED group L1 and the second LED group L2 are lit. Will be controlled in the same way. In addition, by the above, it confirmed that the LED drive circuit 20 'was able to obtain a natural light control-light emission color characteristic rather than the LED drive circuit 20 shown in FIG.
