example 1

[0036] Hereinafter, in order to describe the above-mentioned embodiment in detail, refer to Figures 1 to 4 , a description will be given here of the backlight unit according to Example 1 and the liquid crystal display device equipped with the backlight unit. figure 1 and Figure 4 Each is a block diagram showing the structure of the liquid crystal display device (in particular, the backlight unit) of this example. figure 2 is a schematic diagram showing the relationship between the spectrum and the photometric function curve of R-LED, G-LED, B-LED and W-LED. image 3 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the spectral characteristics of an RGB color sensor.

[0037] Such as figure 1 As shown, the liquid crystal display device of this example is composed of a liquid crystal display panel 1 and a backlight unit, and the backlight unit includes a sensor-based feedback control system. The backlight unit is composed of an LED backlight 10 , a control unit 20 and a drive...

example 2

[0063] Next, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 A backlight unit according to Example 2 and a liquid crystal display device equipped with the backlight unit are described. Figure 5 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the liquid crystal display device (in particular, the backlight unit) of this example. Figure 6 is a schematic diagram showing the effect of reducing power consumption brought about by long-term control of the backlight unit according to Example 1 and Example 2.

[0064] In the above-mentioned Example 1, the W-LED 14 and the G-LED 12 are assumed to be one type of LEDs that emit light under the same driving conditions. Alternatively, the W-LED 14 and the R-LED 11 may be controlled on the assumption that they are a kind of LED that emit light under the same driving conditions. In this case, Expression (4) of Example 1 can be changed to Expression (5).

[0065]

[0066] Based on the expression (5), the control section 20 sends the control signal (d...

example 3

[0072] Next, a backlight unit and a liquid crystal display device equipped with the backlight unit according to a third example will be described.

[0073] In Example 1 and Example 2 above, the control section 20 pairs any one of W and RGB colors, and outputs a common control signal for LEDs having the paired color. However, such paired colors may be selected from any two colors of any color other than W. As mentioned above, depending on the desired color temperature of the white point, the paired colors of this example also allow for effective chromaticity adjustment over time. In this case, the paired colors can be chosen arbitrarily as long as they are not white.

Abstract

Provided are a backlight unit and a liquid crystal display device. The backlight unit includes: one or plural LED light sources including N-colored LEDs; a photo-detecting section which measures light intensities of red, green and blue colors of received light and outputs corresponding signals; a driver section including N LED-drivers; and a control section including a drive-condition calculating section and a memory. The drive-condition calculating section calculates control signals for three colors among the N colors, on the basis of information stored in the memory and the signals outputted by the photo-detecting section, makes a pair of each remaining color and one of the three colors, outputs the control signals for three colors to the corresponding three LED drivers, and outputs a control signal determined by using the control signal for a color paired with each remaining color to the LED driver for the each remaining color.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a backlight unit and a liquid crystal display device. In particular, the present invention relates to a backlight unit using LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) of various colors and a liquid crystal display device using the backlight unit. Background technique [0002] Compared with fluorescent tubes (including hot cathode ray tubes and cold cathode ray tubes), LED light sources have the characteristics of low environmental load due to the absence of mercury, good color reproduction, good responsiveness, wider brightness controllable range and longer life . Due to these characteristics, liquid crystal display devices (mainly small-sized liquid crystal display devices) adopt such LED light sources as backlight sources and are widely used. In recent years, large-scale liquid crystal display devices have also adopted such LED light sources, as disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2007-532949 (as Japanese...
