  • Patent number: 9484505
    Abstract: An LED structure is applied to a backlight source to set a white light of a backlight module at a standard D65 position of the CIE1931 chromaticity coordinates and used together with a display module. A red phosphor for emitting a red light, a yellow phosphor for emitting a yellow light, and a blue light LED chip are provided. The mixing ratio of the red phosphor to the yellow phosphor is controlled within a range of (2.33?1):1, so that the original LED white light falls within a region enclosed by ccy?1.8*ccx?0.12, ccy?1.8*ccx?0.336, ccy?0.33 and ccy?0.15 of the CIE1931 coordinates. Since the red phosphor does not absorb or convert yellow light, the brightness loss of the yellow light that excites the yellow phosphor is minimized. A color filter may be installed to achieve better NTSC effect and luminous efficacy.

  • Patent number: 8766560
    Abstract: An adaptive LED dimming driving circuit is disclosed, wherein its control module is disposed with a first resistor, a second resistor, a retainer, a third resistor and a fourth resistor. When the control module receives an input voltage, the retainer is driven to output a retaining current Ihold to the second resistor, thereby ensuring normal dimming. The first resistor and the third resistor detect the input voltage so that when an input current Iin satisfies a correlation Iin=Ihold+ILED, the retaining current has the minimum value to increase work efficiency during the LED that is dimmed to the maximum intensity. When the input voltage is too low, the reference level is reduced to prevent the LED from generating twinkling. The fourth resistor detects the voltage energy of the LED. Therefore, when the voltage energy is changed, a high-low-voltage compensation is performed to achieve a constant power state.
