  • Patent number: 11610521
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a technology for driving an LED, comprising sensing a forward-direction voltage of an LED and determining whether or not the LED is defective by comparing the forward-direction voltage with a comparative object voltage, wherein the comparative object voltage is continuously updated using a sensed forward-direction voltage so that the comparative object voltage may be set to be an unfixed value, that is, a value reflecting a current state of an LED. This allows a more accurate detection of a defect of an LED.
