大尺寸LED顯示器、照明器上之LED排列與電源需求估測及其方法LED array and power demand estimation on large-size LED display and illuminator and method thereof

本發明涉及一種管理顯示器及照明裝置之LED排列及其電源需求估測之方法與其裝置,尤指一種發光二極體(LED)顯示器及照明器上之LED排列與電源需求及其方法。The invention relates to a method for managing an LED arrangement of a display and a lighting device and a method for estimating the power supply thereof, and a device thereof, in particular to a LED arrangement and power supply requirement on a light-emitting diode (LED) display and a illuminator and a method thereof.

以節約能源與不使用水銀之環境需求為目的,LED技術已成為應用在大尺寸LCD面板與照明器的最重要的光源。基於熱量的考量,LED額訂功率低於1瓦,甚至低於0.1瓦的LED已成為應用在今日之顯示器或照明器之主要單元裝置。大量的,成百的甚至成千的LEDs需要被排列在一個裝置中,且它們的連接主要是以串聯及/或並聯的形式。然而,在設計的考量上,LEDs連接的形式以及功率的需求是非常密切的彼此相關的。因此,操作LEDs之功率的需求是高度相關於LEDs之排列的。For the purpose of saving energy and not using mercury, LED technology has become the most important light source for large-size LCD panels and illuminators. Based on thermal considerations, LEDs with a power rating of less than 1 watt and even less than 0.1 watt have become the main unit of display for today's displays or luminaires. A large number, hundreds or even thousands of LEDs need to be arranged in one device, and their connections are mainly in the form of series and/or parallel. However, in terms of design considerations, the form of LEDs connections and the power requirements are very closely related to each other. Therefore, the need to operate the power of the LEDs is highly correlated with the arrangement of the LEDs.

如果大量之LCDs僅只是串聯連接在一串列上,則需要極高之電壓,而如果LEDs僅只是連接在並聯之串列中,則需要相當大的電流。結果,當所有的LEDs僅只是串聯或並聯連接時,需要設置一具有極高(低)輸出電壓以及具有極低(高)電流源之電源供應器。If a large number of LCDs are only connected in series on a series, a very high voltage is required, and if the LEDs are only connected in a parallel series, a considerable current is required. As a result, when all the LEDs are only connected in series or in parallel, it is necessary to provide a power supply having an extremely high (low) output voltage and having a very low (high) current source.

換句話說,不適當的組合或許會升高驅動複數個LEDs之電源設計的困難度。此外,大量的LEDs僅只是以串聯或並聯形式連接時,可能會增加當操作LED設備時之失敗的機率,以及亦會引致熱量之問題。事實上,上述問題如僅將該複數個LEDs偏壓在穩定運作區,是很難解決的。一個適用於電晶體、二極體,甚至功率LEDs之較佳的偏壓策略是使作業點位在功率消耗曲線(PD curve)的中間部份周邊,以獲得優異的成效。然而,大多數文獻僅只聚焦在促銷LED驅動架構,而缺乏對上述問題之研究,即使是對功率需求之估計亦極稀少與分散。因此,亟需一解決上述問題之進步方法。In other words, an inappropriate combination may increase the difficulty of driving the power supply design of a plurality of LEDs. In addition, when a large number of LEDs are only connected in series or in parallel, it may increase the probability of failure when operating the LED device, and may also cause heat problems. In fact, the above problem is difficult to solve by merely biasing the plurality of LEDs in a stable operation area. A preferred biasing strategy for transistors, diodes, and even power LEDs is to place the operating point around the middle of the power curve (PD curve) for superior results. However, most of the literature only focuses on the promotion of LED driver architecture, but lacks research on the above issues, even the estimation of power demand is extremely rare and scattered. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a progressive method to solve the above problems.

職是之故,發明人鑒於習知技術之缺失,乃思及改良發明之意念,終能發明出本案之「大尺寸LED顯示器、照明器上之LED排列與電源需求估測及其方法」。As a result of the job, the inventor, in view of the lack of the prior art, thought of and improved the idea of invention, and finally invented the "large-size LED display, LED arrangement and power demand estimation on the illuminator and its method".

本案運用一廣泛使用,且更貼近於實際問題之平均值方法來找到複數個LEDs之一適當的偏壓運作點,而後決定一適當組合與電源需求,用以分別確定LED排列與電源供應器之設計。This case uses a widely used average method that is closer to the actual problem to find an appropriate bias operating point for a plurality of LEDs, and then determines an appropriate combination and power requirements to determine the LED arrangement and power supply, respectively. design.

此外,本案亦探索一簡單之LED布置策略以防止可能地電磁干擾以及電壓過載。最後,一設計實例實現一用於20吋電視之LCD背光顯示器,以驗證所提議方法之可行性。In addition, the case also explores a simple LED placement strategy to prevent possible electromagnetic interference and voltage overload. Finally, a design example implements an LCD backlit display for a 20-inch television to verify the feasibility of the proposed method.

本案之又一主要目的在於提供一種用於一顯示器中對複數個LEDs進行電源需求估測之方法,包含下列之步驟:計算出用於該顯示器之一最適電壓值及一最適電流值;以及根據該最適電壓值及該最適電流值獲得用於該顯示器之一第一及一第二最適運作點,其中該第一及該第二最適運作點係用以排列該複數個LEDs。Another main object of the present invention is to provide a method for estimating a power demand of a plurality of LEDs in a display, comprising the steps of: calculating an optimum voltage value and an optimum current value for the display; The optimum voltage value and the optimum current value are obtained for one of the first and second optimum operating points of the display, wherein the first and the second optimum operating point are used to arrange the plurality of LEDs.

為了讓本發明之上述目的、特徵、和優點能更明顯易懂,下文特舉較佳實施例,並配合所附圖式,作詳細說明如下:The above described objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent and understood.

在第一圖中,首先建立複數個LEDs在電流-電壓平面(i-v plane)上之功率消耗(PD)曲線,以描繪其電源行為。複數個LEDs在該PD曲線之兩個額定端點間推導出一個平均傳導度g av ,而後移向一方向以轉移至該PD曲線之一正切點,其係位於複數個LEDs之最適運作點。此外,一個一般性的演繹程序更進一步地找到一適宜的LED排列,且一電源需求亦被提出。為找到大量LEDs之適當組合的一個估計,可藉由複數次演繹之後取LED數目的複數次根號值,而很容易的獲得。演繹必須的時間視估計的LED排列是否適於電源供應設計而定。In the first figure, the power consumption (PD) curve of a plurality of LEDs on the current-voltage plane (iv plane) is first established to characterize its power supply behavior. A plurality of LEDs derive an average conductivity g av between the two nominal endpoints of the PD curve and then move in a direction to shift to one of the tangent points of the PD curve, which is at the optimum operating point of the plurality of LEDs. In addition, a general deductive procedure further finds a suitable LED arrangement, and a power supply requirement is also proposed. An estimate of the appropriate combination of a large number of LEDs can be easily obtained by taking a plurality of root number values of the number of LEDs after a plurality of interpretations. The time required for the interpretation depends on whether the estimated LED arrangement is suitable for the power supply design.

一般而言,適度偏壓一個別LED的考量是將運作點置於最大PD曲線的中間部位,而不超過安全運作區域(safe-operating area,SOA)。然而,複數個LEDs之偏壓觀念基本上是與個別LED相同的。首先定義複數個LEDs為N個LEDs,其中N是一正整數。基於設備的特性,可以很容易地描繪N個LEDs在i-v軸的PD曲線如第一圖所示。有趣的是,所有的LEDs串聯連接以及所有的LEDs並聯連接可以很容易地在第一圖中所提出之PD曲線的兩個額定端點找到。據此,N個LEDs在i-v平面上之功率消耗PD ,當全部串聯時,可以被表示為:In general, the consideration of moderately biasing a different LED is to place the operating point in the middle of the maximum PD curve without exceeding the safe-operating area (SOA). However, the bias concept of a plurality of LEDs is basically the same as that of individual LEDs. First define a plurality of LEDs as N LEDs, where N is a positive integer. Based on the characteristics of the device, the PD curves of the N LEDs on the iv axis can be easily depicted as shown in the first figure. Interestingly, all LEDs connected in series and all LEDs connected in parallel can be easily found at the two nominal endpoints of the PD curve presented in the first figure. Accordingly, the power consumption P D of the N LEDs on the iv plane, when all connected in series, can be expressed as:

或者,當全部並聯時,可以被表示為:Or, when all are connected in parallel, it can be expressed as:

其中,V D I D 分別為各自LED之順向電壓與順向電流,且定義V max =NV D ,V min =V D ,I max =NI D ,以及I min =I D 。在此案例中,第一與第二公式是彼此相等的。所提議之複數個LEDs之PD曲線,描繪於第一圖中,基本上在SOA的額定功率下,其為真確的。在PD曲線上具有最大額定電流I max =NI D 以及最小並聯串列電壓V min =V D 的案例,正好是所有的LEDs並聯連接的情況。另一方面,最大額定電壓V max =NV D 具有最小額定電流I min =I D ,正好是所有的LEDs串聯連接的情況。據此,串聯及/或並聯的可能組合,藉由改變整數N,可以很容易的沿著PD曲線而獲得。如果進行一個直覺的二分法,串聯及/或並聯的可能組合可以很容易地如第二圖(a)-(c)所示的被建立,其為猜測策略的通常案例。Where V D and I D are the forward voltage and forward current of the respective LEDs, respectively, and define V max = NV D , V min = V D , I max = NI D , and I min = I D . In this case, the first and second formulas are equal to each other. The PD curve for the proposed plurality of LEDs is depicted in the first figure, which is substantially true at the rated power of the SOA. The case with the maximum rated current I max = NI D and the minimum parallel series voltage V min = V D on the PD curve is exactly the case where all the LEDs are connected in parallel. On the other hand, the maximum rated voltage V max = NV D has a minimum rated current I min = I D , which is exactly the case where all the LEDs are connected in series. Accordingly, a possible combination of series and/or parallel can be easily obtained along the PD curve by changing the integer N. If an intuitive dichotomy is performed, the possible combinations of series and/or parallel can be easily established as shown in the second figures (a)-(c), which is a common case of guessing strategies.

事實上,LED排列與電源需求是彼此密切相關的,其顯著地關係到電源供應設計以及用於如預期的均勻地產生照明輸出的複數個LEDs之作業情況。因此,如何估計複數個LEDs的適當組合以及匹配電源供應設計的電源需求是一個在大尺寸LED顯示器中十分重要的議題。In fact, the LED arrangement and power requirements are closely related to each other, which is significantly related to the power supply design and the operation of the plurality of LEDs for uniformly producing the illumination output as expected. Therefore, how to estimate the proper combination of multiple LEDs and the power requirements of matching power supply designs is an important issue in large-size LED displays.

基本上,如第一圖所提議之該N個LEDs之該PD曲線可藉由參考來自製造之額定電源而可易於達成。該N個LEDs之電流i就沿著在i-v平面上之PD曲線電壓v而論,可由下式獲得:Basically, the PD curve for the N LEDs as proposed in the first figure can be easily achieved by reference to the nominal power source from manufacture. The current i of the N LEDs is along the PD curve voltage v on the i-v plane and can be obtained by:

如果在第一圖中之f (v )在[V min ,V max ]中是連續的,且在(V min ,V max )中是可微分的,則存在一些點v c (V min ,V max )使得If f ( v ) in the first graph is continuous in [ V min , V max ] and is differentiable in ( V min , V max ), then there are some points v c ( V min , V max ) makes

f (V max )-f (V min ):f ' (v c )(V max -V min ) (4)。 f ( V max )- f ( V min ): f ' ( v c )( V max - V min ) (4).

從公式(3)產生:Generated from equation (3):

其中,v c =V opt 是最適電壓。最適電流I opt 可以藉由公式(1)與(7)而被賦予:Where v c = V opt is the optimum voltage. The optimum current I opt can be given by equations (1) and (7):

複數個LEDs的平均傳導度g av ,可以藉由在SOA下的PD曲線的兩個額定端點間劃一條線而很容易地賦予,亦即:The average conductivity g av of a plurality of LEDs can be easily assigned by drawing a line between the two nominal endpoints of the PD curve under SOA, namely:

其中g av 被定義為等於一斜率mWhere g av is defined to be equal to a slope m .

在公式(9)中,負號表示當作業電流減少與作業電壓增加時,傳導度沿著PD曲線下降,以及反之亦然,其基本上應當遵守P D =NV D l D 。如嘗試向平行於在一點c具有斜率m之PD曲線之正切線的方向移動,如第一圖所示平均傳導度線g av N個LEDs之適當的運作點藉由(i c ,v c )=(V opt ,l opt )賦予,而後從公式(7)與(8)而獲得。據此,該運作點c貢獻於用在複數個被排列的LEDs的組合與電源需求之適當的估計。定義在估計之後的LEDs的排列由q個並聯的串列組成,且每一串列有p個LEDs串聯連接。所需的電源需求,源自公式(7)及(8),係經由估計的運作點所授予,是藉著:In equation (9), a negative sign indicates that as the operating current decreases and the operating voltage increases, the conductivity decreases along the PD curve, and vice versa, which should substantially follow P D = NV D l D . If attempting to move parallel to the tangential line of the PD curve having a slope m at point c, as shown in the first figure, the average conductivity line g av , the appropriate operating point of the N LEDs by ( i c , v c ) = ( V opt , l opt ) is given, and then obtained from equations (7) and (8). Accordingly, the operating point c contributes to an appropriate estimate for the combination of multiple LEDs arranged and the power requirements. The arrangement of the LEDs defined after the estimation consists of q parallel series, and each string has p LEDs connected in series. The required power requirements, derived from equations (7) and (8), are granted through the estimated operating points and are:

而得到,其中V min =V D I min =I D And get, where V min = V D and I min = I D .

有趣的是,經由公式(1)、(2)、(10)與(11),而擁有了一個用於估計的複數個LEDs組合的單純、簡潔的表達,那就是:Interestingly, through equations (1), (2), (10), and (11), there is a simple, concise expression of the combination of multiple LEDs for estimation, which is:

公式(12)直覺地顯示,藉由僅只取得要被排列的N個LEDs的總數之平方根,是易於估計的。特別的是,並聯串列的數目一定是與串聯串列的數目相同的,其真的簡化了本發明所發展的設計理念。Equation (12) intuitively shows that it is easy to estimate by taking only the square root of the total number of N LEDs to be arranged. In particular, the number of parallel strings must be the same as the number of series strings, which really simplifies the design concept developed by the present invention.

如果極大量的LEDs要被排列在一個顯示器面板中,來自公式(10)及(11)之估計用於在第一圖中這樣的點c,很可能由於第一次演繹後在電源設計中發生的困難,而或許無法完全滿足設計的考量。此一情況也許是由於估計的串聯串列的LEDs電壓仍然是如此的高而發生。因此,一個用於連續的找到適於電源設計的其他組合的更進一步的估計是必須的。該連續估計程序可以在第三圖中看到,舉例而言,其中只有兩個演繹程序被探索。第二個演繹藉由僅只考量第一個估計的最適點(V opt1 ,I opt1 ),用於在i-v座標上找到第二個運作點(V opt2 ,I opt2 ),是容易處理的。亦即,第一個推導的串列電壓與並聯電流以及該點(V max1 ,I min1 )。換句話說,在第二次演繹中,只有在PD曲線上c1與a之間的各點被考量為設計的參數。值得注意地,在第三圖中,該點a在(V max1 ,I min1 )=(NV D ,I D )正好是第一圖中的點(V max ,I min )=(NV D ,I D )。此外,無視於複數次演繹程序,在第三圖中PD曲線上的點a永遠保持不變。在第三圖中,用於找到具有斜率m 2 的第二平均傳導度g av2 的第二演繹程序與第一演繹中的該程序是一樣的。藉由具有三角平移方法的平均值方法,g av2 線正切於PD曲線的點c 2 賦予第二最適點於i-v平面上的(V opt2 ,I opt2 )。參考第三圖,用於第k次演繹的一般推導可被描述如下。If a very large number of LEDs are to be arranged in a display panel, the estimates from equations (10) and (11) are used for point c in the first figure, most likely due to the power supply design after the first interpretation. Difficulties, and perhaps not fully meet the design considerations. This may be due to the fact that the estimated series string LEDs are still so high. Therefore, a further estimate for successively finding other combinations suitable for power supply design is necessary. This continuous estimation procedure can be seen in the third figure, for example, where only two deductive programs are explored. The second interpretation only been considered by the first estimate of the optimum point (V opt1, I opt1), to find a second operation point (V opt2, I opt2) on iv coordinates, it is easy to handle. That is, the first derived series voltage and parallel current and the point ( V max1 , I min1 ). In other words, in the second deduction, only the points between c1 and a on the PD curve are considered as design parameters. Notably, in the third graph, the point a at ( V max1 , I min1 )=( NV D , I D ) is exactly the point in the first graph ( V max , I min )=( NV D , I D ). Furthermore, ignoring the complex deductive procedure, the point a on the PD curve in the third graph remains unchanged forever. In the third figure, the second deductive procedure for finding the second average conductivity g av2 with the slope m 2 is the same as the procedure in the first deduction. By the averaging method with the triangular translation method, the g av2 line tangential to the point c 2 of the PD curve gives the second optimum point on the iv plane ( V opt2 , I opt2 ). Referring to the third figure, the general derivation for the kth deduction can be described as follows.

V max, k =p k V D  (13), V max, k = p k V D (13),

V min, k =V D  (14), V min, k = V D (14),

I max, k =q k I D  (15), I max, k = q k I D (15),

以及as well as

I min, k =I D  (16)。 I min, k = I D (16).

其中k≧1 。參考(10)-(12),可以找到第k個電壓與電流最適點是Where k≧1 . Referring to (10)-(12), the optimum point of the kth voltage and current can be found.

以及as well as

其中p k =q k 是與第一次推導公式(12)一樣的。從公式(12),(17)與(18)得到Where p k = q k is the same as the first derivation formula (12). Obtained from equations (12), (17) and (18)

用於k≧1 。公式(19)賦予用於排列N =(p k ) 2k 個LEDs的第k個組合。換句話說,在第一次演繹中有個並聯串列以及每一串聯串列有個LEDs。進入第二演繹,每一並聯串列更劃分為個次-並聯串列以及每一次-串聯串列具有個LEDs。換句話說,在第二次演繹後,具有總共個次-並聯串列以及每一次-串聯串列具有個LEDs。有可能繼續隨後的演繹程序端視估計的次-串列電壓是否達到用於電源設計的適當之電源需求。因此,在第k次演繹之後的並聯串列的總數Q k 將是Used for k≧1 . Equation (19) gives the kth combination for arranging N = ( p k ) 2k LEDs. In other words, in the first deduction Parallel strings and each series string LEDs. Enter the second interpretation, each Parallel serials are further divided into Times-parallel series and each-to-serial string has LEDs. In other words, after the second deduction, there is a total Times-parallel series and each-to-serial string has LEDs. It is possible to continue with the subsequent deductive program to see if the estimated sub-serial voltage meets the appropriate power requirements for power supply design. Therefore, the total number of parallel series Q k after the kth deduction will be

且第k 個串聯串列具有與公式(19)相同的LEDs的數目。And the kth series string has the same number of LEDs as the formula (19).

第圖四(a)顯示N個LEDs原本連接於一個串列。在第一次演繹後,N個LEDs估計的組合如第四圖(b)所示,以及N個LEDs在兩次演繹後估計的組合,舉例而言,是實現於第四圖(c),其中用於第一次演繹的估計的並聯串列是q11 +q12 +q13 +‥‥,而後q11 將劃分成q211 +q212 +q213 +‥‥,且q12 分成q221 +q222 +q223 +‥‥,‥‥以及在第二次演繹後諸如此類。最後,從公式(20),在本例子中第二次估計之並聯串列總共將是N 3/4 個,以及從公式(19),每一第二估計之串聯串列具有N 1/4 個LEDs,其中N是要被排列的LEDs的數目。Figure 4 (a) shows that the N LEDs are originally connected to a serial. After the first deduction, the combination of N LEDs estimates is shown in Figure 4(b), and the combination of N LEDs estimated after two deductions, for example, is implemented in Figure 4(c). The estimated parallel series for the first deduction is q 11 +q 12 +q 13 +...., and then q 11 will be divided into q 211 +q 212 +q 213 +...., and q 12 is divided into q 221 +q 222 +q 223 +....,....and after the second deduction. Finally, from equation (20), the second estimated parallel series in this example will be N 3/4 in total, and from equation (19), each second estimated series has N 1/4. LEDs, where N is the number of LEDs to be aligned.

如果在複數次演繹後,較大量的估計的次-並聯串列是需要的,增加並聯電源模組以分擔大電流需求,在設計考量上是可行的。實務上,所需的演繹將不多於2至4次,因為估計是僅藉由取LEDs數目的根號值來計算。If a larger number of estimated sub-parallel strings are needed after a number of deductions, adding parallel power modules to share the large current demand is feasible in design considerations. In practice, the required deduction will be no more than 2 to 4 times, because the estimate is calculated only by taking the root number of the number of LEDs.

公式(19)賦予一個一般性的估計,透過第k次演繹,僅由取k次平方根來決定在第k次估計的串聯串列中LEDs的數目,其中並聯串列的總數是在公式(20)中賦予。適當的電源需求,可以很容易的依據從公式(17)與(18)中賦予的複數個LEDs的第k個運作點來估計以用於電源設計。然而,如果在複數次演繹後,許多並聯串列是需要的,例如第四圖(c)所示,在電源設計中,較大的電流需求可能是必須的。在此一情況下,增加複數個並聯電源模組用於分流是設計考量的方式。此外,在LED布置上,要避免LED故障以及排列時防止串聯與並聯串列間的干擾。另外,在布置上,建議採交錯排列以減低電磁干擾以及在鄰近串列間可能的LED故障。Equation (19) gives a general estimate. Through the kth deduction, the number of LEDs in the k-th estimated series string is determined by taking only the square root of k times, where the total number of parallel strings is in the formula (20). Given in ). Appropriate power requirements can be easily estimated for the power supply design based on the kth operating point of the plurality of LEDs given in equations (17) and (18). However, if multiple parallel series are required after a number of deductions, such as shown in Figure 4(c), a larger current demand may be necessary in the power supply design. In this case, adding a plurality of parallel power modules for shunting is a design consideration. In addition, in the LED arrangement, it is necessary to avoid LED failure and to prevent interference between the series and parallel series when arranging. In addition, in terms of arrangement, it is recommended to stagger to reduce electromagnetic interference and possible LED faults between adjacent strings.

本發明一個示範的設計如第五圖所示。一個LED顯示器用於具有面積41公分x31公分=1271平方公分之20吋LCD電視,被設計來實現約600個LEDs,其中每一白光LED具有額定電流25mA以及額定功率P D =110mW。在計算該顯示器的實際區域後,LEDs被使用的可能數量是588。該白光LED在正常情況下,具有順向電壓V D =3.5V以及電流I D =20mA。在此設計中,用於該588個LEDs的相關參數各自估計如下。從公式(1),最大的功率消耗是:An exemplary design of the present invention is shown in the fifth diagram. An LED display for a 20-inch LCD TV having an area of 41 cm x 31 cm = 1271 cm 2 is designed to achieve approximately 600 LEDs, each of which has a nominal current of 25 mA and a rated power P D = 110 mW. After calculating the actual area of the display, the possible number of LEDs to be used is 588. The white LED has a forward voltage V D = 3.5 V and a current I D = 20 mA under normal conditions. In this design, the relevant parameters for the 588 LEDs are each estimated as follows. From equation (1), the maximum power consumption is:

P D =3.5V ×0.02A ×588=41.16W  (21), P D = 3.5 V × 0.02 A × 588 = 41.16 W (21),

對所有LEDs串聯連接,具有Connect all LEDs in series with

V max =3.5V ×588=2058V  (22), V max = 3.5 V × 588 = 2058 V (22),

以及as well as

l min =20mA  (23)。 l min =20 mA (23).

對所有LEDs串聯連接,具有Connect all LEDs in series with

V min =3.5V  (24), V min = 3.5 V (24) ,

以及as well as

l max =20mA ×588=11.76A  (25)。 l max = 20 mA × 588 = 11.76 A (25).

該588個LEDs的PD曲線,參考第一圖與依據公式(21)-(25)可以很容易的畫出來。從公式(7)與(8),在第一次演繹之後,可以很容易地找到用於總計588個LEDs的最適運作點,那就是:The PD curve of the 588 LEDs can be easily drawn by referring to the first figure and according to equations (21)-(25). From equations (7) and (8), after the first deduction, it is easy to find the optimum operating point for a total of 588 LEDs, which is:

以及as well as

從公式(9),在i -v 平面的PD曲線的(V opt ,I opt )點,具有平均傳導度g av =5.63mS。並聯串列的數目q 以及在每一個串聯串列中具有p 個LEDs,可以從公式(10)與(11)各自被估計:From equation (9), at the point of ( V opt , I opt ) of the PD curve of the i - v plane, there is an average conductivity g av = 5.63 mS. The number q of parallel series and p LEDs in each series string can be estimated from equations (10) and (11):

以及as well as

其中pq 相等以滿足公式(12)。因為在公式(26)與(27)中的電源需求是適於電源設計的,故在本設計中不再需要進一步的演繹。在實現上,如果使用24個並聯串列,且每一個串列具有24個串連的LEDs,則將缺乏12個用於排列的LEDs。Where p is equal to q to satisfy equation (12). Since the power requirements in equations (26) and (27) are suitable for power supply design, no further deduction is needed in this design. In implementation, if 24 parallel strings are used, and each string has 24 serially connected LEDs, then there will be 12 LEDs for alignment.

然而,在本設計中進行了一個次要的修訂,使用24個串連的LEDs於12個串列,以及使用25個串連的LEDs於另外12個串列,其中總共的並聯串列仍保持為24個。因此,總共具有24x12+25x12=588個LEDs,完全符合規格。此一方法,將使得在24個LEDs串列間的串列電壓差異小於3.5V,其將可在電源供應設計中被補償。從公式(26)與(27),一個具有輸入電壓V i =12Vdc ,輸出電壓V out =96Vdc ,輸出電流I o =0.5A以及切換頻率f s =50kHz之48W的升壓轉換器被設計與執行。具有10%的容忍能力,高至96Vdc 之輸出電壓與高至48W之輸出功率被考量,以確保所提供之電源供應的能力符合估計的88Vdc 之串列電壓。此外,如第五圖所示之建議的實施例,列出了24個電流沈入電路,由一個估計為96Vdc 之穩定電壓源供電。上述之實驗,顯示了以該估計之電源供應用於該複數個LEDs之偏壓,在一寬廣範圍的調光程序中,產生該顯示器中近乎均勻的照明輸出之極佳的成效,以及為了各串列間的電流平衡,一線性穩壓器被用為電流沈入電路。However, a minor revision was made in this design, using 24 series of LEDs in 12 strings, and using 25 series of LEDs in another 12 series, where the total parallel series remains It is 24. Therefore, there are a total of 24x12 + 25x12 = 588 LEDs, which is fully compliant. This approach will result in a string voltage difference of less than 3.5V between the 24 LEDs series, which will be compensated for in the power supply design. From equations (26) and (27), a boost converter with input voltage V i =12V dc , output voltage V out =96V dc , output current I o =0.5A and switching frequency f s =50kHz is 48W Design and implementation. With 10% tolerance, output voltages as high as 96V dc and output power as high as 48W are considered to ensure that the power supply capability provided is in line with the estimated 88V dc string voltage. In addition, as shown in the proposed embodiment of Figure 5, 24 current sinking circuits are listed, powered by a regulated voltage source estimated to be 96V dc . The above experiment shows the excellent performance of producing a nearly uniform illumination output in the display in a wide range of dimming procedures with the estimated power supply for the bias voltage of the plurality of LEDs, and for each Current balancing between the strings, a linear regulator is used to sink the current into the circuit.

因為所設計之電源供應之輸出電壓具有10%之容忍能力,該電流沈入電路可以對抗串列之LEDs的電壓變動而自行穩壓,而在24個串列中的電流,彼此間幾乎是非常接近的。在該顯示器面板中的所有LEDs,於一從黑暗到在50公釐處測得550cd/m2之寬廣範圍的調光程序中,均能產生幾乎相等的照明輸出。Because the output voltage of the designed power supply has a 10% tolerance, the current sinking circuit can regulate itself against the voltage fluctuations of the series LEDs, and the currents in the 24 series are almost very different from each other. close to. All of the LEDs in the display panel produced nearly equal illumination output in a wide range of dimming procedures from dark to 550 cd/m2 at 50 mm.
