The light source driving circuit includes a light source for outputting light, a light receiving unit for detecting a portion of the light output from the light source, a switching unit for controlling the supply of a source voltage according to an operation control signal, a constant current source for supplying a current corresponding to a threshold current to the light source according to the control of the switching unit, and an automatic power controller for controlling a driving current of the light source in response to an external modulation signal. Accordingly, by supplying a current corresponding to a threshold current of a green laser by means of a switching operation according to an operation control signal for a set time before a modulation signal of the green laser is input, a turn-on delay of the green laser can be reduced.

Abstract: An integrated circuit is provided for driving a light source. The light source outputs light. A light receiver receives part of the light output from the light source. In response to a detection current from the light receiver, an automatic power controller adjusts an operating current of the light source. A power converter efficiently supplies power from a power supply to the light source. A modulation signal input unit inputs a modulation signal for modulation of light output power. This circuit structure performs a control operation for constantly maintaining the intensity of light even in a variation in an ambient temperature or deterioration in the light source and also reduces power consumption in the integrated circuit for driving the light source.

Abstract: A drive structure is provided for a sequential Red-Green-Blue (RGB) display. One light receiving means receives part of light output from R, G, and B light sources and performs conversion to a current signal. Each light source driver performs a control operation for maintaining the light intensity of each light source substantially constant by adjusting an amount of operating current applied thereto according to the magnitude of a feedback current provided from the light receiving means. Light is sequentially emitted by the light sources and received by the light monitoring device in response to input R, G, and B modulation signals.
