Abstract: The present invention provides a light emitting diode driver circuit with current compensation. A plurality of LEDs are arranged in matrix form, the panel and the switches have circuit resistance, when plural LEDs in the same column are ON and the current source flows through the circuit resistance, it will cause multiple voltage drops across the circuit resistance. Thus, the voltage of the LEDs and the current source is decreased and the current of the LEDs is decreased, as a result, the brightness of the LEDs will be reduced and become unstable. The present invention copies a set of LED current-source circuit which is additionally provided with an adder circuit, so that the current of the LEDs can be compensated, and thus the brightness of the LED can be maintained.
