Patent number: 8159154Abstract: An apparatus and a method of driving a backlight unit and a display apparatus employing the same. Wherein a driving current, which is divided in a step-by-step fashion, is sequentially changed and output according to a current control signal. The current control signal is divided into low levels and high levels that are consecutively and repeatedly applied to a backlight controller. The driving current is reduced from a reference current corresponding to a number of the high levels during a time period that starts when the low level is applied for at least a first reference time interval and ends when the high level is applied for at least a second reference time interval.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2008Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kon-Ho Lee, Kil-Soo Choi, Bum-Joon Kim
