Abstract

This paper focuses on configuring a user-friendly system of LED systems by applying improvement measures such as gamma correction, non-flicker, and driving noise removal using MCUs and LED drivers. As a result of the experiment, the 22kHz PWM mode of the LED driver generated noise outside the audible frequency range, making it practically imperceptible to users. The appropriate pull-up resistor values within the normal operating delay ratio of 5% were found to be 1kΩ to 10kΩ for the 3kHz PWM mode and 1kΩ to 2kΩ for the 22kHz PWM mode. In addition, gamma correction can be optimized for nonlinear human visual systems to express accurate contrast and as a result, it is expected to develop an LED system that can be expressed more naturally and accurately than conventional LED systems and improve users' visual experience.

본 논문은 MCU와 LED 드라이버를 활용한 감마 보정, 논 플리커, 구동 소음 제거 등의 개선 방안을 적용하여 LED 시스템의 사용자 친화적 시스템을 구성하는 데 초점을 맞추고 있다. 실험 결과, LED 드라이버의 22kHz PWM 모드는 가청 주파수 바깥 영역에서 소음이 발생하여 사용자는 실질적으로 소음을 인지할 수 없었으며, 정상 동작 구간인 지연율 5% 이내의 풀업 저항 값은 3kHz PWM 모드 시 1kΩ ~ 10kΩ 이며, 22kHz PWM 모드는 1kΩ ~ 2kΩ 로 확인되었다. 또한, 감마 보정을 통해 비선형적인 인간의 시각 시스템에 맞게 최적화하여 정확한 대비와 명암을 표현할 수 있으며, 결과적으로 기존의 LED 시스템보다 더 자연스럽고 정확한 표현이 가능한 LED 시스템의 개발과 사용자의 시각적인 경험을 개선할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
