Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a method for making a light-emitting diode (LED) output fixed A, and particularly to a high-brightness light-emitting diode 2 by using a prediction method A method of fixing the brightness. Μ [Prior Art] With the advancement of manufacturing technology, the use of light-emitting diodes has changed from a simple indication use to a lighting function with a replacement bulb, such as a mobile phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA) backlight, indoor lighting , flashlights, lights, and more. At present, there are two main methods of controlling the high-brightness light-emitting diodes: constant voltage and constant current. As shown in Fig. 1, the constant voltage system connects the high-intensity light-emitting diode 11 in series with a current limiting resistor 12, and then supplies a constant voltage power supply to both ends of the circuit to drive the high-brightness light-emitting diode 11 to emit light. The constant voltage is the lowest cost method. However, the current limiting resistor 12 limits the current passing through, and the non-linear ν·ι curve of the high-brightness light-emitting diode u makes the steady-state current stabilization effect very poor. As shown in Fig. 2', as the current of the high-brightness light-emitting diode u increases, the output brightness a.u. also increases, so that the brightness of the high-brightness light-emitting diode cannot be fixed by the constant voltage method. The temperature of the A-free light-emitting diode will increase greatly after a long period of use, which will affect the characteristics of the high-brightness light-emitting diode 11, such as changing the forward voltage VF of the high-brightness light-emitting diode u. The current causing the high-brightness light-emitting diode u increases with the increase of temperature and the output brightness increases. 5 1258872 Π If the current of the brightness light-emitting diode u is out of control, the high-brightness light-emitting diode is used to make a high current. The sin of the high-brightness light-emitting diode η is strange and may malfunction. Two poles:: 'The two former deaths use a constant current method to drive high-brightness illumination a, and then the light to the brightness of the LEDs 11 to the brightness of the diodes _ 6 can only make the ancient η Π Π 电 电 电 &;, so unintentional & and ancient and can increase the brightness of the high-brightness light-emitting diode 11 =. At present, the control method of the constant current is to use the feedback method to control the amount of current of the highlight and the light body. Take the ancient f, the field of wood, as shown in Figure 3, through a connection between the redundancy of the light-emitting diode module u' of the current-voltage conversion module 12, with "μ LED module u, the current conversion After the signal, the current of the diode module η is reached, and the power is reduced to: the heart rate illuminating processor is received.

However, due to the feedback method, the price is higher. The analog analog digital conversion: the controller u' and the electric current conversion module 12, the cost required is much higher than the control method of the constant power, which causes the manufacturer of the meager profit era to have too much cost. Therefore, how to reduce the The cost required for the current control method has become an important point of efforts of the industry. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a method for outputting a fixed brightness of a high-intensity light-emitting diode with a low cost. Thus, the present invention enables high brightness. The light-emitting diode outputs a fixed brightness of 6 1258872 ^, which is driven by a controller to drive a high-brightness light-emitting diode module having at least one high-brightness light-emitting diode. The method of reading and storing the current and time between the brightness and light-emitting diode modules comprises the following steps: ▲ (乂 output - driving power to the high-brightness light-emitting diode module and opening _ The number of materials is high The time of the brightness LED module is adjusted according to the current information and the work of the high-intensity LED module to adjust the output to the high-intensity LED module. The amount of current of the driving power stabilizes the current of the high-intensity light-emitting diode module.

In view of the cost of the current control in the feedback method, the invention is invented and the prediction method is used to determine the current control. In detail, 4, even if a fixed-value power source is supplied to the high-brightness light-emitting diode, the current amount of the high-brightness light-emitting diode varies with the working time. The maximum continuous operating current that the high-brightness light-emitting diode can tolerate is 5〇. 〇mA, the required power is supplied by the battery. When the power supply to the high-brightness light-emitting diode is started, the temperature of the high-brightness light-emitting diode rises rapidly, causing a rapid increase in current, and there is a part The time m exceeds the maximum continuous operating current of the high-brightness light photodiode, so that the shell degree changes drastically, and then the current does not rise because the temperature is close to equilibrium, but the battery consumes most of the current in a short time, so the remaining power is reduced by 7 J258872. After the faster 'after the current is less able to maintain, the brightness is reduced compared to Iraq. ...

The controller 2 starts to supply the driving power to the timer of the controller 2 inside the controller 2: the time ' refers to the time when the high-brightness LED module 3 works and emits light, and controls ^ 2 According to the counting time and current information, the electric power of the driving power is adjusted in time to make the current of the LED module 3 stable. For example, when the high-brightness LED module 3 is working, in order to make up for the sudden increase of the current of the high-brightness 8^^«872 polar body module 3 due to temperature rise, the controller 2 will adjust the driving speed on Sunday.夕 φ, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , Can also be fixed. According to the foregoing architecture and relationship with each other, with reference to FIG. 7, in this embodiment, you first set the current information between the current/inside time of the high-brightness LED module 3 in the program 51. Or the table mode is stored in the controller 2 pure, when the high-brightness light-emitting diode module 3 is to be controlled to output a preset=2, in step 52', the controller 2 uses the power provided by the power source 4 to move the power to the high-brightness light-emitting diode 2 The polar body module 3 corresponds to the brightness of the driving power. At this time, the timer inside the controller 2 is also «幵. The working time of the 4-digit (four-degree) light-emitting diode module 3. After the step S is taken in step S, the controller 2 adjusts the driving force of the lightning force according to the current information and the working day to control, and the electric power of the six θ _ dynamic electric power is high-luminance LED module 3 Moreover, the current of the high-brightness light-emitting diode module 3 controlled by the method according to the embodiment of FIG. 6 is more stable than the current information, so that the high-brightness mode, group 3: brightness can be fixed, thereby avoiding The reliability and lifetime of high-brightness illumination "3 are affected by high current. In the present embodiment, the controller 2 applies pulse width modulation (pwM) to adjust the duty cycle (Dmy cycle) for driving the two forces to change the average current of the driving power. Further, it is known to those skilled in the art that the controller 2 can also apply an analogy to adjust the current of the driving power, and is not limited to the embodiment.
