  • Patent number: 10128946
    Abstract: A visible light communication device includes a light-emitting unit, a switch-mode light-emitting diode (LED) driver, a synthesizing circuit, and a path selection circuit. The switch-mode LED driver provides a driving current for driving the light-emitting unit. The synthesizing circuit synthesizes a data signal and a dimming signal to form a synthesized signal. According to a data frequency and a dimming ratio obtained from one or more path selection information, the path selection circuit selects to turn on a bypass current modulation unit to inject the synthesized signal to the bypass current modulation unit along one path and the bypass current modulation unit controls the light-emitting unit according to the synthesized signal, or selects to inject the synthesized signal to the switch-mode LED driver along another path and the switch-mode LED driver controls the light-emitting unit according to the synthesized signal.
