Abstract

A driving circuit for powering light-emitting diode (LED) light sources includes an energy converter and a plurality of current balance controllers. The energy converter receives input voltage and provides modulated voltage to the LED light sources, and the current balance controllers connected with the energy converter respectively control currents flowing across the LED light sources. The current balance controllers receive a first referential signal indicating a target average level and a second referential signal indicating a maximal transient level, and modulate average level of each current into the target average level and maximal transient level of each current to a level within the maximal transient level.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a circuit and method for supplying power to a light source. Background technique [0002] In a display system, a driving circuit is usually used to drive one or more light sources to illuminate a display panel. For example, in a liquid crystal display (LCD) display system using light emitting diodes (LEDs) as a backlight, an array of light emitting diodes is used to illuminate the LCD display panel. A light emitting diode array usually includes two or more LED strings, and each LED string is connected in series by a group of LED lamps. For each LED string, the forward voltage drop required to achieve the desired light output typically varies with LED chip size, material, etc., as well as temperature. Therefore, in order to produce light output with the same brightness, a driver circuit is used to regulate the current flowing through each LED string to be substantially constant.
