    Abstract: A light source driving method is applied to a light source driving module electrically connected to a light source and a controller. The light source driving module includes a frequency setting module, a driving circuit, and a conversion module. The frequency setting module generates a frequency setting signal according to a switching signal. The driving circuit generates a light source driving signal after receiving the switching signal and a current control signal. The conversion module selectively generates a driving current flowing through the light source in response to the light source driving signal. The driving current increases continuously during a rising duration, and the light source driving signal has a first operating frequency during the rising period. The driving current remains unchanged during a stable duration, and the light source driving signal has a second operating frequency during the stable period.
