Abstract
Description
2.5Ω≦R≦500Ω
0.01μF≦C≦f(R)
を満たすように決められてもよい。オフ期間において駆動電圧が低下する傾き(速度)は、主に検出抵抗の抵抗値R、LEDストリングのインピーダンスZおよび出力キャパシタの容量値Cの時定数で定まる。したがって抵抗値Rと容量値Cを適切に選択することにより、好適にちらつきを防止することができる。
同様に、「部材Cが、部材Aと部材Bの間に設けられた状態」とは、部材Aと部材C、あるいは部材Bと部材Cが直接的に接続される場合のほか、電気的な接続状態に影響を及ぼさない他の部材を介して間接的に接続される場合も含む。
図1は、第1の実施の形態に係るディスプレイ装置2の構成を示す回路図である。ディスプレイ装置2は、液晶パネル4、液晶ドライバ6、バックライト8を備える。
電源20は、その出力端子PoからLEDストリング10の第1端子に駆動電圧Voutを供給する。電源20は、その出力端子Poと固定電圧端子(接地端子)の間に設けられた出力キャパシタC1を有する。電源20の構成は特に限定されるものではなく、コイルあるいはトランスを用いたスイッチングレギュレータであってもよいし、チャージポンプ回路であってもよいし、あるいはリニアレギュレータであってもよく、駆動対象のLEDストリング10の電気的状態に応じて、その出力電圧Voutを帰還により調節可能な電源を利用することができる。
VIS=R1×ILED …(1)
この電流検出信号VISは、制御部30のフィードバック端子(ILED端子)へとフィードバックされる。必要に応じて、検出抵抗R1と並列にキャパシタC4を設けてもよい。キャパシタC4を設けることにより、電流検出信号VISのノイズを除去することができる。
Vout=VIS+VF …(2)
が成り立つ。LEDストリング10を構成するLEDの個数をnと書くとき、VFは以下の式で与えられる。VfはLEDの順方向電圧である。
VF=Vf×n …(3)
したがって制御部30によるフィードバック制御の結果、電源20の出力電圧Voutは、
Vout=Vref+VF …(4)
を満たすように安定化される。なおフィードバックの方式は、電源20の種類やトポロジーに応じた公知の技術を利用すればよいため、ここでは説明を省略する。
ILED=Vref/R1 …(5)
に安定化される。つまり、基準電圧Vrefを変化させることにより、駆動電流ILEDを変化させることができ、LEDストリング10の輝度を制御できる。これが上述のアナログ調光である。
図3は、出力キャパシタC1の容量値と検出抵抗R1の抵抗値の好適な範囲を示す図である。図3は、縦軸が容量値を、横軸が抵抗値を示す両対数グラフであり、斜線を付した領域が、ちらつきを好適に防止できる範囲を示す。
2.5Ω≦R≦500Ω …(6)
0.01μF≦C≦f(R) …(7)
を得ることができる。
図9は、第2の実施の形態に係るバックライト8の構成を示すブロック図である。第1の実施の形態では、出力キャパシタC1の放電を利用して、駆動電流ILEDの波形をなまらせた。これに対して第2の実施の形態では、駆動電流ILED(電流検出信号VIS)の波形をダイレクトに制御する。
