  • Patent number: 7755596
    Abstract: A driving device (30) with a light sensor module (32) includes a circuit board (31), and a first light sensor hole (34). The light sensor module is electrically connected to a surface of the circuit board, and includes a chip carrier (320), a potting compound (322), and a light sensor chip (321). The light sensor hole is defined in the circuit board below the light sensor chip. The chip carrier is electrically connected to the circuit board. The potting compound has a top potting compound (322A) and a bottom potting compound (322B) with the chip carrier disposed therebetween. The light sensor chip is electrically connected to the chip carrier and covered with the bottom potting compound.

  • Patent number: 7372217
    Abstract: A driving device for driving a light source module (22) includes an inverter circuit (21), a signal sensing circuit (23), a microcontroller (24), and a control circuit (25). The inverter circuit converts a received power signal to an alternating current (AC) signal. The signal sensing circuit is connected to the inverter circuit and the light source module, and generating protection signals of the driving device. The microcontroller receives the protection signals output from the signal sensing circuit, and outputs a logic control signal. The control circuit receives the logic control signal and controls the AC signal output from the inverter circuit according to the logic control signal.

  • Patent number: 7274158
    Abstract: A system for driving a lamp module (13) includes a converter (11), a driving circuit (12), and a pulse width modulation (PWM) controller (14). The lamp module includes a plurality of lamps. The converter converts a received voltage to a direct current (DC) voltage. The driving circuit converts the DC voltage to an alternating current (AC) voltage. The PWM controller is connected between the converter and the lamp module, for regulating the DC voltages outputted from the converter according to current flowing through the lamps of the lamp module. In one embodiment, the system includes a bus inverter controller. The bus inverter controller is connected between the driving circuit and the lamp module, for regulating a working frequency thereof and controlling the AC voltage outputted from the driving circuit when the lamps are turned on. The system has a reduced number of PWM controllers and a relatively low cost.
