Embodiment
This case inventor is because the circuit design of traditional backlight assembly, and its complicacy is quite high, by analysis, various situations of simulation and produce the present invention.One of principal character of the present invention is to deal with from temperature lowermost extent acquisition feedback signal.Below begin to illustrate various embodiments of the present invention.
Please refer to Fig. 4 (a), (Lightemitting diode, LED) the back-light mechanism backboard is divided a plurality of Temperature Distribution areal maps to Fig. 4 (a) for light emitting diode according to an embodiment of the invention.In order to alleviate complexity, tradition needs N feedback signal Vm1 to VmN, and reduces the required feedback signal of conventional art in embodiments of the present invention.At first, backlight assembly forms a plurality of Temperature Distribution zone according to the relativeness of heat dissipation direction.In Fig. 4 (a), backlight assembly is configured on the LED-backlit mechanism backboard 40, and LED-backlit mechanism backboard 40 is divided 3 Temperature Distribution zones, be respectively T1 district, T2 district and T3 district.This technology has knows that usually the knowledgeable should understand, and divides the Temperature Distribution zone and can come the zoning according to simulation of Heat Balance or experimental result in advance, so do not limit the quantity of dividing the Temperature Distribution zone.Suppose general situation, LED-backlit mechanism backboard 40 stands on the situation of desktop, and the heat radiation aperture being arranged around the LED-backlit mechanism backboard 40 or have only has the heat radiation aperture topmost.Therefore, the LCD in the use is when thermal equilibrium, and LED-backlit mechanism backboard 40 can be the hottest in the T1 district, secondly be the T2 district, and the temperature province in T3 district is minimum.Design is during backlight assembly, owing to be subjected to the environment temperature difference, so the forward forward voltage of the LED in each district can be different at the LED in each district for it.In the forward forward voltage minimum of the LED in T1 district, in the forward forward voltage maximum of the LED in T3 district, and that the forward forward voltage of the LED in T2 district occupies is time big.
Hold above-mentioned, divide a lot of temperature province after, then must reduce the quantity of feedback signal.The practice that this desire will reduce feedback signal quantity is from a certain zone acquisition feedback signal, so will reduce much in the complexity of handling feedback signal, for verifying feasible Fig. 4 of please refer to (b), and carries out followingly respectively testing.Fig. 4 (b) is the backlight assembly circuit diagram according to a plurality of Temperature Distribution zone of Fig. 4 (a).Backlight assembly 42 has comprised T1 district light-emitting component, T2 district light-emitting component and T3 district light-emitting component.Wherein, T1 district light-emitting component comprises light- emitting component 41a, 41b ..., T2 district light-emitting component comprises light- emitting component 43a, 43b ..., T3 district light-emitting component comprises light-emitting component 45a, 45b ..., and each light-emitting component comprises a light emitting diode at least.
For analyze backlight assembly 42 in the T1 district the various situations to the T3 district: when first kind of situation was cold machine, circuit controls was opened in simulation; When second kind of situation is hot machine, simulation T1 district open circuit controls; When the third situation is hot machine, simulation T3 district open circuit controls.The distribution scenario of each light-emitting component of Fig. 4 (b) on the LED-backlit mechanism backboard 40 of Fig. 4 (a) can be with reference to figure 4 (c).Fig. 4 (c) is the back light member of backlight assembly 42 and the relativeness figure of LED-backlit mechanism backboard.
At this, carry out the analysis of above-mentioned various situations, suppose light-emitting component 41a～41c, 43a～43c, 45a～45c, and light-emitting component uses identical LED, and quantity is identical, and LED is connected.Please refer to Fig. 4 (d).Fig. 4 (d) opens the circuit controls Organization Chart for analysis chart 4 (b).Dc power converter 48a produces operating voltage VLED and comes driven light-emitting element 46, just lights the driving power of LED 1～LEDN.Forward forward voltage (the Vf of each light emitting diode
1, Vf
2..., Vf
N) summation be the forward forward voltage Vf_total of light-emitting component 46.Light adjusting circuit 47 comprises switch SW and constant current source I1.Voltage Vm is from the couple generation of light-emitting component 46 with light adjusting circuit 47, and relational expression is VLED=Vf_total+Vm.(suppose that light-emitting component 46 is to use 4 light emitting diodes at present, and the forward forward voltage of each light emitting diode equals 2V.)
When first kind of situation was cold machine, circuit controls was opened in simulation, so operating voltage VLED fixes.Provide a data information at this, when constant current source I1 is 20mA, when operating voltage VLED was 9V, forward forward voltage Vf_total was 8V, and voltage Vm is 1V, and its Vm consumed power is 20mV.
Then, when second kind of situation is hot machine, simulation T1 district open circuit controls.Provide a data information at this, when constant current source I1 is 20mA, when operating voltage VLED was 9V, forward forward voltage Vf_total was 6.8V, and voltage Vm is 2.2V, and its Vm consumed power is 44mV.Therefore, the forward forward voltage of every light emitting diode drops to 0.3V.
When the third situation is hot machine, simulation T3 district open circuit controls.Provide a data information at this, when constant current source I1 is 20mA, when operating voltage VLED was 9V, forward forward voltage Vf_total was 7.6V, and voltage Vm is 1.4V, and its Vm consumed power is 28mV.Therefore, the forward forward voltage of every light emitting diode drops to 0.1V.
Above-mentioned three kinds of analog case please refer to Fig. 4 (e) now behind the disposal data.Therefore learn that light-emitting component 46 makes that except rising because of system temperature forward forward voltage Vf_total descends, and makes voltage Vm rise, this causes the power consumption of switch SW to become big, makes power loss increase, and makes the efficiency of element variation.
Next carry out the 4th kind of situation and the 5th kind of situation simulation.When the 4th kind of situation was hot machine, the feedback signal in simulation acquisition T1 district was done the closed loop and is controlled; When the 5th kind of situation was hot machine, the feedback signal in simulation acquisition T3 district was done the closed loop and is controlled.Wherein, the 4th and the 5th kind of situation for only to making FEEDBACK CONTROL in a Temperature Distribution district, and two districts do not make FEEDBACK CONTROL in addition.At the mean value of the 4th kind of situation acquisition feedback signal Vm1a or Vm1b or negate feedback signal Vm1a and Vm1b, at the mean value of above-mentioned the 5th kind of situation acquisition feedback signal Vm3a or Vm3b or negate feedback signal Vm3a and Vm3b.
Please refer to Fig. 4 (f), Fig. 4 (f) is analysis chart 4 (b), the Organization Chart of the closed loop control when simulating hot machine.Originally ready-made at the voltage Vm of Fig. 4 (d) is the feedback signal of Fig. 4 (f).Light-emitting component 46 has used 4 identical light emitting diodes.Feedback compensation circuit 49 comprises error amplifier 49b and voltage compensator 49a, and voltage compensator 49a is coupled between error amplifier 49b and the dc power converter 48b.An error amplifier 49b receiving feedback signals Vm and a reference signal Vref, voltage compensator 49a then produce a voltage compensation signal 49c to dc power converter 48b.Dc power converter 48b adjusts and output services voltage VLED according to voltage compensation signal 49c.When the 4th kind of situation was hot machine, the feedback signal in simulation acquisition T1 district was done closed loop control, provides a data information at this, and when constant current source I1 is 20mA, when the operating voltage VLED of script was 9V, the operating voltage VLED after the compensation was 7.8V.The forward forward voltage Vf_total in T1 district is 6.8V, therefore the voltage Vm in T1 district is 1V, but the forward forward voltage Vf_total in T3 district is 7.6V, so cause the operating voltage deficiency of the light-emitting component of temperature lower region (T3 zone), makes the light emitting diode instability.
Then, when the 5th kind of situation was hot machine, the feedback signal in simulation acquisition T3 district was done closed loop control, provides a data information at this, and when constant current source I1 is 20mA, when the operating voltage VLED of script was 9V, the operating voltage VLED after the compensation was 8.6V.The forward forward voltage Vf_total in T3 district is 7.6V, so the voltage Vm in T3 district is 1.0V; And the T1 district forward forward voltage Vf_total be 6.8V, the voltage Vm in T1 district is 1.8V.So when operating voltage VLED down is adjusted to 8.6V, can contain the driving circuit of Fig. 4 (b) backlight assembly 42.The analog case of above-mentioned the 4th kind and the 5th kind situation, now please refer to Fig. 4 (g) behind the disposal data, wherein make feedback compensation with the higher zone of temperature, voltage difference between the forward forward voltage Vf_total of this adjusted operating voltage VLED and temperature lower region is too little, easily causes the task performance instability of light-emitting component.Proved that backlight assembly of the present invention and its driving method adopt the feedback signal of temperature lowermost extent (being the T3 district at this embodiment), the adjustment result who is done has reached Expected Results really.Therefore, the practice from " temperature lowermost extent " (T3 zone) acquisition feedback signal is feasible.In the present embodiment, the complexity of feedback compensation processing of circuit feedback signal can be reduced to below 1/3rd.
Please refer to Fig. 5 (a).Fig. 5 (a) is the Temperature Distribution areal map according to another embodiment of the present invention.We are divided into nine zones with LED-backlit mechanism backboard 50, as A1 district～A3 district, B1 district～B3 district and the C1 district～C3 district of figure.Suppose general situation, LED-backlit mechanism backboard 50 stands on the situation of desktop, and the heat radiation aperture being arranged around the LED-backlit mechanism backboard 50 or have only has the heat radiation aperture topmost.Therefore, the A1 district is the highest to the temperature in A3 district, and the temperature in B1 district to B3 district is inferior high, and the temperature in C1 district to C3 district can be minimum.Backlight assembly can be according to the Temperature Distribution situation of LED-backlit mechanism backboard 50, from being positioned at C1 district～one of them district, C3 district; get the acquisition point that is configured in its regional light-emitting component and make FEEDBACK CONTROL, adjust the co-operation voltage of all light-emitting components according to the feedback signal of acquisition point.Certainly; this technology has knows that usually the knowledgeable should understand; can also get the mean value of a plurality of acquisition points and do FEEDBACK CONTROL from being arranged in C1 district～C3 district, not depart under spirit of the present invention and the scope, protection scope of the present invention should be not limited to embodiment and disclose.
Please refer to Fig. 5 (b).Fig. 5 (b) is the Temperature Distribution areal map according to another embodiment of the present invention.We are divided into nine zones with LED-backlit mechanism backboard 50, as A1 district～A3 district, B1 district～B3 district and the C1 district～C3 district of Fig. 5 (a), but on the backboard in this C1 district and C3 district finned in addition.Therefore, when thermal equilibrium, the temperature in C1 district and C3 district is minimum.Backlight assembly can be made FEEDBACK CONTROL from being arranged in C1 district and C3 district, respectively getting an acquisition point that is configured in its regional light-emitting component, according to the feedback signal mean value of two acquisitions point, adjusts the co-operation voltage of all light-emitting components again; Or an acquisition point that only captures the light-emitting component in C1 district or C3 district makes FEEDBACK CONTROL, adjusts the co-operation voltage of all light-emitting components again.
Please refer to Fig. 5 (c).Fig. 5 (c) is the Temperature Distribution areal map according to another embodiment of the present invention.This is similar with the practice of Fig. 5 (b), in like manner can push away, and installs fan additional in the C1 district and the C3 district of LED-backlit mechanism backboard 50, when thermal equilibrium, makes that the temperature in C1 district and C3 district is minimum.Therefore, backlight assembly can be made FEEDBACK CONTROL from being arranged in C1 district and C3 district, respectively getting an acquisition point that is configured in its regional light-emitting component, according to the feedback signal mean value of two acquisitions point, adjusts the co-operation voltage of all light-emitting components again; Or an acquisition point that only captures the light-emitting component in C1 district or C3 district makes FEEDBACK CONTROL, adjusts the co-operation voltage of all light-emitting components again.
By the explanation of Fig. 5 (b) with Fig. 5 (c), this technology has knows that usually the knowledgeable should understand heat radiator or fan guarantees that C1 district and C3 are the temperature lowermost extent, can certainly use water cooling plant or other heat dissipating methods to reach.The zone that temperature is minimum is the heat dissipation design of relative and backboard.When the symmetry of considering average heat radiation, then can respectively there be a district in the zone that temperature is minimum at the dual-side of backboard.In addition, also do not limit with using heat abstractor quantity at dividing temperature province quantity, dividing temperature province quantity has many kind combinations with using heat abstractor quantity.Therefore do not departing under spirit of the present invention and the scope, protection scope of the present invention should be not limited to embodiment and disclose.
