  • Patent number: 11369014
    Abstract: The invention relates to a light beam generating device and method, and a projection device. The light beam generating device is configured to receive a color control signal and generate a target light beam having a target color, and includes a plurality of drivers, a current signal generating circuit, and a control circuit. The drivers respectively drive a plurality of light-emitting elements according to a plurality of current signals, wherein the plurality of light-emitting elements collectively generate the target light beam. The current signal generating circuit is coupled to the drivers and generates the plurality of current signals according to the color control signal corresponding to the target color. The control circuit is coupled to the drivers and controls whether each driver is enabled according to the color control signal.

  • Patent number: 11317487
    Abstract: A driving device is provided. The driving device includes a signal processing circuit and a driving circuit. The signal processing circuit is configured to generate a current input signal according to a target current signal. The driving circuit is configured to receive the current input signal and generate a current output signal according to the current input signal to drive a light emitting element. In a first time interval, the current input signal gradually rises from a first current value to a target current value in a continuous or segmented manner according to a rising slope. Further, a control method of the driving device and a lighting system including the driving device are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11022864
    Abstract: A projection system and a control method of a driving current thereof are provided. A power supply of an illumination module provides the driving current to drive a light source to provide an illumination beam. A filter wheel receives the illumination beam and filtered beams are generated. The illumination beam passes through the filter wheel during a first period and a first filtered beam is generated. The illumination beam passes through the filter wheel during a second period and a second filtered beam is generated. The filtered beams include the first filtered beam, the second filtered beam, and an intermediate filtered beam generated during an intermediate period between the first and second periods. A control device controls the power supply to continuously provide the driving current from the first period, through the intermediate period, to the second period.
