Problems solved by technology

[0011] In the conventional step-up switching regulator type LED drive circuit, the step-up operation is performed when VinVout due to the difference in Vf of the LED79, it cannot operate normally.
Therefore, the LED drive circuit cannot keep the output voltage Vout constant, cannot normally control the LED drive current, and thus cannot constantly control the brightness of the LED79

Abstract

With the LED driving circuit of the present invention, even if the input voltage is higher than the output voltage, the brightness of the LED can be controlled to be constant. If the input voltage Vin is higher than the output voltage Vout due to the difference in the threshold voltage Vf of the LED (21), and the LED drive circuit cannot perform the step-up operation, the operation of the LED drive circuit is switched from a step-up switching regulator to a voltage regulator. action, therefore, the LED drive circuit can operate normally.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a light emitting diode (LED) driving circuit for driving a light emitting diode. Background technique [0002] Currently, liquid crystal displays are widely used in portable devices such as mobile phones. In this liquid crystal display, light-emitting diodes are widely used as light-emitting elements for backlights. [0003] By applying a voltage equal to or higher than the LED threshold voltage (Vf) between the positive terminal and the negative terminal, an LED drive current for driving the LED flows between the positive terminal and the negative terminal, thereby causing the LED to emit light. The brightness of the LED changes according to the current value of the LED driving current. [0004] Here, in order to improve the quality of the liquid crystal display, it is necessary to control the LED drive current to be constant, so that the brightness of the LED is constant. As a technique for controlling LED drive current, t...
