Abstract: A control method is disclosed to prevent false triggering of over-current protection. A power converter comprises high-side and low-side switches connected in series between an input power line and a ground line, for driving a resonant circuit to resonate. The power converter includes a detector detecting the resonant circuit to provide a detection signal representing a magnitude of resonance in the resonant circuit. A duty cycle of one of the high-side and low-side switches is detected, and a threshold is determined in response to the duty cycle. An over-current protection is triggered based on the threshold and the detection signal. When the over-current protection is triggered, at least one of the high-side and low-side switches stops providing power to the resonant circuit, and the resonance subsides.

Abstract: A grid structure in a pixel array may be at least partially angled or tapered toward a top surface of the grid structure such that the width of the grid structure approaches a near-zero width near the top surface of the grid structure. This permits the spacing between color filter regions in between the grid structure to approach a near-zero spacing near the top surfaces of the color filter regions. The tight spacing of color filter regions provided by the angled or tapered grid structure provides a greater surface area and volume for incident light collection in the color filter regions. Moreover, the width of the grid structure may increase at least partially toward a bottom surface of the grid structure such that the wider dimension of the grid structure near the bottom surface of the grid structure provides optical crosstalk protection for the pixel sensors in the pixel array.

The LED power supply includes a conversion circuit, a switch, and an oscillation circuit. The conversion circuit converts the input voltage into an output voltage, and provides the output voltage to supply power to the LED lamp so as to control the LED lamp to provide a first brightness. The oscillation circuit provides a dimming signal with a fixed frequency and a duty cycle to the switch when the external detection switch is turned on so as to turn on and turn off the switch. The switch correspondingly adjusts the output voltage according to the dimming signal to control the LED lamp to provide a second brightness.
