  • Publication number: 20130076254
    Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) driving circuit preventing light leakage issue. The LED driving circuit comprises an LED driver, a driving circuit module and a power supply. When an input voltage is much higher, a high frequency pulse width modulation signal is set to a low level to avoid a light leakage of the LED by turning off a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET), such that the input voltage is not limited by the light leakage of the LED. As a result, the input voltage can be increased sufficiently for further reducing a switching loss effectively.
