Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1411751A2] In a circuit arrangement for driving a LED array comprising red, green and blue LEDs, a control loop is added for limiting the duty cycles of the control signals for driving the red, green and blue LEDs. In case one of the duty cycles reaches the limit value, the reference signals for the red, green and blue light are decreased with the same relative amount. The color point of the light is thereby maintained, even when the efficiency of part of the LEDs decreases.
[origin: EP1411751A2] A control loop (CC123) limits duty cycle of control signal for driving red, green and blue (RGB) LEDs by decreasing the reference signal for red, green and blue light. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) backlight; and (2) LCD unit.
