本发明的最佳实施方式
以下各实施例的说明是参考附加的图式,用以例示本发明可用以实施的特定实施例。
参考图1,图1为本发明的液晶显示屏背光模组的框图。本发明的液晶显示屏背光模组包括背光源101和背光源控制装置100,背光源101可以是LED(Light Emitting Diode,发光二极管)灯或CCFL(Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp,冷阴极萤光灯),其中背光源控制装置100包括升压(Boost)模块103、第一开关102和控制模块104。该第一开关102和升压模块103均与背光源101电性连接。控制模块104电性连接第一开关102和升压模块103。当然,控制模块104还可以与背光源101电性连接,通过侦测控制模块104与背光源101的连接端的电压来判断背光源101是否已经熄灭。控制模块104用于接收背光点亮(BLON,Back Light ON)信号并根据该背光点亮信号判断当前液晶显示屏背光模组要执行的操作,控制模块104还用于根据判断结果控制升压模块103,使升压模块103继续向背光源101输出电压或停止输出电压。若当前液晶显示屏背光模组要执行的操作为开启背光源101(背光点亮信号为高电平信号),则控制模块104控制第一开关102开启背光源101。若当前液晶显示屏背光模组要执行的操作为关闭背光源101(背光点亮信号为低电平信号),则控制模块104控制第一开关102关闭背光源101,此时,控制模块104向升压模块103发送驱动信号以使升压模块103维持正常电压的输出,即升压模块103保持向背光源101输出正常电压,具体实现时,升压模块103也可以向背光源101输出约等于(上下浮动30%以内)正常电压值的电压。
本发明提供的技术方案为解决液晶显示屏背光模组在先关机然后迅速开机时闪烁的问题,在液晶显示屏的控制模块104接收到低电平的背光点亮信号后还通过升压模块103输出一个电压,以维持背光源101正常运行,避免液晶显示屏背光模组在先关机然后迅速开机时导致闪烁的问题。在具体实现时,出于安全性及稳定性的考虑,本发明的液晶显示屏背光模组的控制模块104在第一开关102关闭背光源101后的预定时间内,控制升压模块103保持向背光源101输出电压。
具体地,控制模块103计算当前的时间与背光源101最近一次关闭的时间的差值,若该差值大于一预定值(如10秒),则控制模块103控制升压模块103不继续向背光源101输出正常电压,或者,控制模块103控制升压模块103降低向背光源101输出的电压,直至为零;若该差值小于该预定值,则保持向背光源101输出电压。升压模块103所降低向背光源101输出的电压值相对于此降低操作的过程的时间是线性的,也可以是非线性的,还可以逐级降低的,或者一次性降低为零。由于升压模块103在背光源101处于关闭状态下仍保持向背光源101输出电压,因此在液晶显示屏背光模组关机后又突然开机时,背光源101不会出现突然闪烁的现象。
具体实现本发明技术方案时,控制模块104与背光源101电性连接,通过侦测控制模块104与背光源101的连接端的电压来判断背光源101是否已经关闭。
参考图2,图2为本发明的液晶显示屏背光模组的电路方块示意图。在本示意图中,背光源101包括多个LED灯209。控制模块104为芯片207。第一开关102为第一场效应晶体管208。升压模块103包括电感201、二极管202和第二场效应晶体管203。芯片207接收背光点亮信号,当芯片207接收到的背光点亮信号为低电平信号(假设低电平信号代表关闭LED灯串206)时,芯片207控制第一场效应晶体管208,使得LED灯串206熄灭。此时芯片207将会接收到LED灯电流侦测信号,即芯片207获知LED灯串206已经熄灭,芯片207将反馈切换到电压反馈,即芯片207打开与打开第一电阻204和第二电阻205连接的端口,通过第一电阻204和第二电阻205的分压使芯片207输出驱动信号,该驱动信号将会被发送到第二场效应晶体管203,使得第二场效应晶体管203打开(导通),然后使得电感201向二极管202输出电压,二极管202导通的方向为从电感201指向背光源101的方向。电感201和二极管202保持向LED灯串206输出正常电压。
参考图3,图3为本发明的液晶显示屏背光模组控制方法的流程图。在步骤301,控制模块104接收背光点亮信号;在步骤302,控制模块104根据该背光点亮信号判断当前液晶显示屏背光模组要执行的操作,如开启背光源101或关闭背光源101,控制模块104是根据该背光点亮信号是高电平信号还是低电平信号来判断的。若当前液晶显示屏背光模组要执行的操作为开启背光源101时,在步骤303,控制模块104控制第一开关102以开启背光源101,在步骤303后,控制模块104等待接收背光点亮信号。若当前液晶显示屏背光模组要执行的操作为关闭背光源101时,在步骤304,控制模块104控制第一开关102以关闭背光源101,控制模块104还可以与背光源101电性连接,通过侦测控制模块104与背光源101的连接端的电压来判断背光源101是否已经熄灭。在步骤305,控制模块104向升压模块103发送驱动信号,该驱动信号用于控制升压模块103继续向背光源101输出电压或停止输出电压。在步骤306,升压模块103保持向背光源101输出正常电压。
本发明提供的技术方案为在控制模块104控制第一开关102关闭背光源104后还通过升压模块103仍然向背光源101输出电压。在具体实现时,出于安全性及稳定性的考虑,本发明的液晶显示屏背光模组的控制模块104在第一开关102关闭背光源101后的预定时间内,控制升压模块103保持向背光源101输出电压。
具体地,控制模块104在控制第一开关102关闭背光源101后进一步判断当前的时间与最近一次关闭背光源101的时间的差值,若该差值大于一预定值,则控制升压电路103不继续向背光源101输出电压,或者,控制升压电路103逐渐降低向背光源101输出的电压,直至为零;若该差值小于该预定值,则保持向背光源101输出电压。升压模块103所降低向背光源101输出的电压值相对于此降低操作的过程的时间是线性的,也可以是非线性的,还可以逐级降低的,或者一次性降低为零。
综上所述,虽然本发明已以优选实施例揭露如上,但上述优选实施例并非用以限制本发明,本领域的普通技术人员,在不脱离本发明的精神和范围内,均可作各种更动与润饰,因此本发明的保护范围以权利要求界定的范围为准。
