LED는 일반 백열등에 비해 훨씬 밝으면서도 저전력이라는 장점을 지니고 있다. 이에 기존 형광등이 지니는 효율적, 환경적 문제점을 개선하기 위해 LED형광등의 개발과 상용화가 이루어 졌다. LED는 형광등과 달리 극성을 지니는 단방향성 소자로 교류전원을 직접 쓸 수 없기 때문에 전원공급장치를 필요로 한다. 이 전원공급장치는 부피가 크고 가격이 비싸기 때문에 유지비용면에서 일반 형광등에 비해 기능성이 떨어진다. 본 연구에서는 이 전원공급장치를 대신하여 간략하게 AC전원을 정류하고, 전압변동에 따른 전류변화로 인한 빛의 밝기가 변하는 현상을 없애기 위해 정전류로 제어할 수 있는 회로를 구성하고 이를 LED모듈과 구분하여 Plug in/out 방식의 교체형 모듈로 구성하여 유지보수에 있어 저렴하고 손쉬운 교체가 가능한 소자개발방법을 제안하고자 한다.

In this paper, the new smart dimming algorithm which is mixed with PWM and PAM control method is proposed for reducing the power consumption of LED TV Backlight. The proposed technique is using the curve characteristics of LED forward voltage and current which is proportionally changing LED forward voltage as changing LED forward current. Therefore, each PWM and PAM control method has different LED forward voltage and current in the same brightness condition. The PWM control method adjusts the brightness of LED TV Backlight by only varying the duty ratio of PWM and constantly sustaining the amplitude of LED forward current and voltage. So, the level of LED forward current and voltage in the PWM control method is relatively high and constant regardless of duty ratio of PWM. On the other hand, the PAM control method adjusts the brightness of LED TV Backlight by directly varying the level of LED forward current. So, the level of LED forward current and voltage in the PAM control method is lowered according to the brightness level. For the above-mentioned reason, the PAM control method has the advantage of reducing the total power consumption of LED TV Backlight at the brightness condition of below 100%, compared with PWM control method. By implementing this characteristic to LED driver circuit with control algorithm in MCU, the power consumption of LED TV Backlight can expect to be reduced. The effectiveness of the proposed method, new smart dimming algorithm, CPWAM(=Conditional Pulse Width Amplitude Modulation), has been verified by experimental results.

본 논문에서는 LED의 색 영역을 확장하기 위해서 Hybrid LED 구동회로와 제어 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 Hybrid LED 구동회로는 고 전류에서는 스위칭 레귤레이션 동작을 하고 저 전류에서는 리니어 레귤레이션 동작을 함으로써 LED에 일정한 정 전류를 공급하였다. 또한 고 전류와 저 전류의 크기를 각각 CC 제어기법과 PWM 제어기법으로 제어하였다. 제안된 구동회로와 제어 기법으로 RGB LED 각각의 전류를 가변하였고, 전류가 최대 전류대비 2%까지 선형적으로 제어됨 실험을 통해 확인하였다. 게다가 출력된 광색을 CIE1931 색도좌표로 측정하였다. 그 결과 기존의 표현할 수 없었던 색이 균일하게 출력됨을 확인하였으며, 제안된 구동회로와 제어 기법이 저 전류제어가 가능함으로 색 영역 확장이 가능함을 증명하였다.

This paper presents a new method for controlling the current of lighting LEDs without current sensors. This method can be used as backup against LED current sensor faults. LED lighting requires a circuit with a constant current in order to maintain the same brightness when the ambient temperature changes. Therefore, we propose a new current estimation method to provide backup in case of current sensor faults based on the calculation of the inductor current. In the fabricated circuit, the average current changes from 144.03 mA to 155.97 mA when the ambient temperature changes from 0℃ to 60℃. The application of this study can enable the fabrication of a driving IC for LEDs in the form of a single chip without sensing resistors. This is expected to reduce the complexity of the peripheral circuit and enable precise feedback control.

A novel white-LED (light emitting diode) backlight system for 46"LCD TVs which involves the current controlled X-Y channel driving method is proposed in this paper. There are two problems related to the LED current in the conventional X-Y channel driving driven by a constant voltage source. To solve these problems, a real time current sensing system is applied to the conventional one and the time-division current sensing method is employed.

Light emitting diode(LED) lighting has been applied various industry fields because of its high efficiency, low power consumption, long life time, and environment friendly characteristics. Generally, LED lighting needs a driver to maintain constant current. Most popular driver is the switching converter. In the converter, there are several electrolytic capacitors. However the lifespan of the electrolytic capacitor is much shorter than LED. Therefore the lifespan of LED lighting with electrolytic capacitor is decreased. Also, LED lighting needs dimming control because of various needs and energy saving. This paper presents the dimmable single-stage PFC DCM flyback converter without electrolytic capacitor and parallel LC resonant filter for reducing 120[Hz] ripple on the output. The type 2 controller is used to maintain constant current and the analog dimming control is used. The proposed converter is verified through simulation and experimental works.

For lighting application, high-power LED nowadays is driven at 350mA and a sensing resistor is used to provide feedback for LED-current regulation. This method adds an IR drop at the output branch, and limits power efficiency as LED current is large and keeps increasing. In this paper, a power efficient LED-current sensing circuit is proposed. The circuit does not use any sensing resistor but extracts LED-current information from the output capacitor of the driver. Controlling the brightness of LEDs requires a driver that provides a constant, regulated current. In one case, the converter may need to step down the input voltage, and, in another, it may need to boost up the output voltage. These situations often arise in applications with wide-ranging ""dirty"" input power sources, such as automotive systems. And, the driver topology must be able to generate a large enough output voltage to forward bias the LEDs. So, to provide this requirements, 13W prototype Buck-Boost Converter is used.

This research was analyzed thermal characteristics that was appointed disadvantage when smart LED driver ICs was packaged and we applied extracted thermal characteristics for optimal layout design. We confirmed reliability of smart LED driver ICs package without additional heat sink. If the package is not heat sink, we are possible to minimize package. For extracting thermal loss due to overshoot current, we increased driver current by two and three times. As a result of experiment, we obtained 22 mW and 49.5 mW thermal loss. And we obtained optimal data of 350 mA driver current. It is important to distance between power MOSFET and driver ICs. If thhe distance was increased, the temperature of package was decreased. And so we obtained optimal data of 3.7 mm distance between power MOSFET and driver ICs. Finally, we fabricated real package and we analyzed the electrical characteristics. We obtained constant 35 V output voltage and 80% efficiency.
