LED串 120中的 LED121的数量 N (N为大于零的整数) 以如下方式被确 定:
N X Vd Vs, 其中, Vd为每个 LED121的发光电压, Vs为升压电路 110的输出电压。 例如, 当 Vd为 6.5V, Vs=48V时, N 7。 反馈电路 130用于将电阻器 122的两端的电压反馈到背光驱动电路 150。 控制开关 140被背光驱动电路 150基于反馈电路 130反馈的电阻器 122的 两端的电压来控制, 从而调节并使得 LED串 120中的电流恒定。 而且, 控制 开关 140具有容易控制, 在调节 LED串中的电流趋于恒定的过程中持续的时 间较短, 损耗的功率也较小等优点, 使得 LED背光源的整个驱动电路的响应 速度快, 效率得到有效的提升。 背光驱动电路 150 通常是集成于芯片上形成背光驱动 IC ( Integrated Circuit, 集成电路) 芯片。 背光驱动电路 150通过输出不同占空比的驱动信号 给升压电路 110,进而控制升压电路 110向 LED串 120输出的升压后的直流电 压的大小。背光驱动电路 150基于反馈电路 130反馈的电阻器 122的两端的电 压来控制控制开关 140, 使得控制开关 140调节 LED串 120中的电流, 进而使 得 LED串 120中的电流恒定。 图 2示出根据本发明的实施例的 LED背光源的升压电路、 反馈电路、 控 制开关和背光驱动电路。 如图 2所示, 根据本发明的实施例的 LED背光源的升压电路 110包括电 感器 111、 MOS晶体管 112、 晶体二极管 113和电容器 114。 电感器 111的一端用于接收输入的直流电压 Vin, 电感器 111的另一端连 接于晶体二极管 112的正端, 晶体二极管 112的负端连接于 LED串 120的正 端, MOS晶体管 113的漏极 D连接于晶体二极管 112的正端, MOS晶体管 113 的源极 S电性接地, MOS晶体管 113的栅极 G连接于背光驱动电路 150的控 制模块 151, 电容器 114的一端连接于晶体二极管 112的负端, 电容器 114的 另一端电性接地。
背光驱动电路 150 的控制模块 151 可通过输出不同占空比的驱动信号给 MOS晶体管 113的栅极 G, 以控制升压电路 110向 LED串 120输出的升压后 的直流电压的电压值的大小。 例如, 在 LED背光源的驱动电路刚开始工作时, 升压电路 110输出的升压后的直流电压还不足以使 LED串 120点亮, 则 LED 串 120中无电流流过, 其各个 LED121的压降比较小, 所以 LED串 120的负 端的电压较大; 当控制模块 151侦测到 LED串 120的负端的电压较大后, 则 可以判断出此时升压电路 110输出的升压后的直流电压还不足以是 LED串 120 点亮, 控制模块 151会输出更大占空比的驱动信号给 MOS晶体管 113的栅极 G, 进而使得升压电路 110输出的升压后的直流电压上升, 直到 LED串 120点 亮并且每个 LED121正常发光后, 则控制此时的驱动信号的占空比恒定, 进而 完成对 LED串 120的正常供电。 根据本发明的实施例的 LED背光源的控制开关 140可为双极结型晶体管 (Bipolar Junction Transistor, BJT)。 这是因为双极结型晶体管在导通时, 其基 极 b和发射极 e之间的电压只需约 0.7V,且集电极 c流过的电流的电流值为基 极 b流过的电流的电流值的数百倍(该倍数即为双极结型晶体管具有的放大倍 数), 例如, 当基极 b流过较小的几 mA的电流时, 在集电极 c流过约几百 mA 的电流。 而且, 双极结型晶体管具有容易控制, 响应速度快, 损耗的功率低等 优点。 在本实施例中, 双极结型晶体管与 LED串 120串联, 并且双极结型晶体 管的集电极 c连接于电阻器 122, 双极结型晶体管的发射极 e电性接地, 双极 结型晶体管的基极 b连接于背光驱动电路 150的运算放大器 152的输出端。这 样, 双极结型晶体管的集电极 c流过的电流的电流值即为 LED串 120中流过 的电流的电流值。 根据本发明的实施例的 LED 背光源的反馈电路 130 可包括差分放大器 131。 通过使用差分放大器 131可得到电阻器 122两端精确的电压。 另夕卜, 在 本发明中, 也可将差分放大器 131替换为其它能够得到电阻器 122两端精确的 电压的器件, 例如减法器。 差分放大器 131的正端连接于多个 LED121的负端和电阻器 122之间, 差 分放大器 131的负端连接于电阻器 122与双极结型晶体管的集电极 c之间, 差 分放大器 131的输出端连接于背光驱动电路 150的运算放大器 152的负端。 差分放大器 131将电阻器 122的两端的电压反馈到背光驱动电路 150的运 算放大器 152的负端。 根据本发明的实施例的 LED背光源的背光驱动电路 150包括控制模块 151 和运算放大器 152。 控制模块 151的一端连接到升压电路 110的 M0S晶体管 113的栅极 G。 控制模块 151的另一端连接到 LED串 120的负端。 控制模块 151除了上述的作用外, 其另一作用为: 当 LED串 120被点亮 并正常发光后, 控制模块 151可切换到对 LED串 120进行开路 /短路的保护功 能。 例如, 控制模块 151侦测 LED串 120负端的电压, 当 LED串 120中出现 开路或短路的故障现象时, LED串 120的负端的电压会出现异常, 这时, 控制 模块 151将控制不再输出驱动信号给 MOS晶体管 113的栅极 G, 进而将整个 驱动电路停止, 以保护整个驱动电路。 运算放大器 152的负端连接到反馈电路 130的差分放大器 131的输出端, 运算放大器 152的正端接收一参考电压 Vc (该参考电压 Vc为背光驱动电路 150内部产生的基准电压),运算放大器 152的输出端连接到双极结型晶体管的 基极 b。 运算放大器 152的负端从差分放大器 131的输出端电阻器 122两端的 电压, 并将电阻器 122两端的电压与参考电压 Vc进行比较。 当电阻器 122两端的电压小于参考电压 Vc时, 运算放大器 152的输出端 输出高电平, 使双极结型晶体管的基极 b的电流增大, 又因双极结型晶体管的 集电极 c的电流和基极 b的电流成正比,则集电极 c的电流增大,进而使得 LED 串 120中的电流增大; 当电阻器 122两端的电压大于参考电压 Vc时, 运算放 大器 152的输出端输出低电平, 使双极结型晶体管的基极 b的电流减小, 又因 双极结型晶体管的集电极 c的电流和基极 b的电流成正比, 则集电极 c的电流 减小, 进而使得 LED串 120中的电流减小。 如此反复调节, 直到电阻器 122 的两端的电压等于参考电压 Vc后, 运算放大器 152的输出端输出给双极结型 晶体管的基极 b的电流恒定, 进而使得 LED串 120中的电流也恒定。 在上述的实施例的描述中, 双极结型晶体管只是作为一种优选的控制开关 而被进行描述。 但在本发明中, 控制开关并不以此为限, 还可以是具有响应速 度快、 功耗低等优点的其他控制开关。 另外, 上述的 LED背光源通常用于液晶显示设备中, 具体如图 3所示。 图 3示出根据本发明的实施例的液晶显示设备。 如图 3所述, 根据本发明的实施例的液晶显示设备包括 LED背光源 310 以及与 LED背光源 310相对设置的液晶显示面板 320。 由于液晶显示面板 320 本身不发光, 因此需要 LED背光源 310提供显示光源给液晶显示面板 320, 以 使液晶显示面板 320显示影像。 其中, 图 3所示的 LED背光源 310可优选为 图 2所示的 LED背光源。 根据本发明的实施例的 LED背光源的驱动电路、 LED背光源及液晶显示设 备, 对 LED串采用恒流驱动的方式进行驱动, 延长了 LED串中每个 LED的 使用寿命, 并且 LED 串中的电流趋于恒定的过程持续的时间较短, 损耗的功 率也较小, 使得驱动 LED 串的整个驱动电路的响应速度快, 效率得到有效的 提升。
尽管已经参照其示例性实施例具体显示和描述了本发明,但是本领域的技 术人员应该理解, 在不脱离权利要求所限定的本发明的精神和范围的情况下, 可以对其进行形式和细节上的各种改变。
