Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of light-emitting diode assembly and method thereof, particularly relate to a kind of light-emitting diode assembly and method thereof that detects open circuit and short-circuit function simultaneously that have.
Background technology
(LED) is more and more general as the application of light emitting source with light emitting diode.For example, the backlight module of traditional display panels is that (cold cathode fluorescent lamp is CCFL) as light source with cathode fluorescent tube.Nowadays, along with the luminous efficiency of light emitting diode constantly promotes and cost reduces day by day, light emitting diode has and replaces the trend that cathode fluorescent tube is used as the backlight module light source gradually.
In existing LED driving circuit; If the light emitting diode serial is opened a way (LEDopen); Because the corresponding delivery channel of drive circuit is suspension joint (floating) state; Therefore drive circuit has the situation generation of electric leakage, and influences the conversion efficiency of integrated circuit, or causes the upset operation in voltage transitions loop.In addition; If the light emitting diode serial is short-circuited (LED short); The cross-pressure that is some light emitting diode is zero; The head space voltage (headroomvoltage) of current drives assembly can improve accordingly, and the power consumption that causes consuming at the current drives assembly becomes big and the conversion efficiency of integrated circuit is descended.Therefore, LED driving circuit needs the mechanism and the method for open circuit and short-circuit detecting.
Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the sketch map of an existing LED driving circuit 10.LED driving circuit 10 is used for driving a light-emitting diode (LED) module 11.As shown in Figure 1, light-emitting diode (LED) module 11 includes the light emitting diode serial C1～Cm of parallel connection, and each light emitting diode serial is made up of the light emitting diode of a plurality of serial connections.LED driving circuit 10 includes an electric pressure converter 12, a current drives unit 13 and a circuit controls unit 14.Electric pressure converter 12 is used for converting an input voltage V1 to an output voltage V 2, with driven for emitting lights diode (led) module 11 according to a Control of Voltage signal VCTRL.Current drives unit 13 is used for drawing the fixing drive current Id1～Idm of size of current from light-emitting diode (LED) module 11.14 of circuit controls unit are according to the cathode voltage VHR1～VHRm of light emitting diode serial and the difference between a preset reference voltage VREF, and the voltage transitions operation of control electric pressure converter 12 is with the level of regulated output voltage V2.
Wherein, circuit controls unit 14 also includes a voltage selector 142, an error amplifier 144 and a switching controller 146.Voltage selector 142 is coupled to light emitting diode serial C1～Cm, is used for from the cathode voltage VHR1～VHRm of light emitting diode serial, selects a minimum voltage as a feedback voltage VFB.Error amplifier 144 is coupled to voltage selector 142 and reference voltage VREF, is used for difference according to feedback voltage VFB and reference voltage VREF, produces an error voltage signal VERR.Switching controller 146 is coupled to error amplifier 144 and electric pressure converter 12, then is used for according to error voltage signal VERR, produces Control of Voltage signal VCTRL.
Thus; LED driving circuit 10 can pass through circuit controls unit 14, and the cathode voltage VHR1～VHRm (being the head space voltage of current drives assembly) and the output voltage V 2 of electric pressure converter of light emitting diode serial is locked in a rational voltage range.
Under this situation, LED driving circuit 10 also includes an open circuit detector 15 and a short circuit detector 16, and being used for opens a way to light emitting diode serial C1～Cm respectively detects and short-circuit detecting.Because when open circuit takes place in the light emitting diode serial; The head space voltage of current drives assembly can be pulled to electronegative potential; Therefore whether open circuit detector 15 can be lower than a specific low critical voltage according to the cathode voltage VHR1～VHRm of light emitting diode serial, judges whether light emitting diode serial C1～Cm opens a way.Certainly, above-mentioned low critical voltage can not be higher than the head space voltage of the current drives assembly under the normal running, breaks in order to avoid under normal conditions, produce erroneous judgement.On the contrary; When the light emitting diode serial is short-circuited (cross-pressure that light emitting diode is arranged is zero); Because the head space voltage of current drives assembly can improve accordingly; Therefore short circuit detector 16 can judge whether light emitting diode serial C1～Cm is in short-circuit condition according to the cathode voltage VHR1～VHRm of light emitting diode serial whether greater than a specific high critical voltage.Likewise, above-mentioned high critical voltage can not be lower than the head space voltage of the current drives assembly under the normal running, breaks to avoid under normal conditions, producing erroneous judgement.
Yet, when simultaneously light emitting diode serial C1～Cm being opened a way and during short-circuit detecting, may the be short-circuited situation of erroneous judgement of LED driving circuit 10.For instance; When open circuit takes place in light emitting diode serial C1; Because the head space voltage of current drives assembly (for example: zero potential) can be pulled to electronegative potential; Therefore voltage selector 142 can select light emitting diode serial C1 cathode voltage VHR1 as feedback voltage VFB, and the output voltage V 2 of boosted voltage converter 12.Under this situation; Because the cross-pressure of light emitting diode size is fixing; Cathode voltage VHR2～the VHRm of other light emitting diode serial can raise along with output voltage V 2, and greater than above-mentioned specific high critical voltage, so will cause short circuit detector 16 that the situation of erroneous judgement takes place.
In other words, when simultaneously the light emitting diode string row is opened a way and to detect and during short-circuit detecting, prior art may have the situation generation of short circuit erroneous judgement immediately detecting after a certain light emitting diode serial opens a way.

Please refer to Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is used for the sketch map that light-emitting diode assembly 20 detects a flow process 30 of open circuit and short circuit simultaneously for the embodiment of the invention.Flow process 30 is used for realizing an operating process of above-mentioned light-emitting diode assembly 20, and it includes the following step:
Step 300: beginning.
Step 310:, light emitting diode serial C1～Cm opened a way detect and short-circuit detecting according to cathode voltage VHR1～VHRm of light emitting diode serial C1～Cm.
Step 320: when detecting light emitting diode serial C1～Cm open circuit takes place,, restart the short-circuit detecting of light emitting diode serial C1～Cm according to the level of the second voltage V2.

According to flow process 30, the embodiment of the invention is at first according to cathode voltage VHR1～VHRm of light emitting diode serial C1～Cm, light emitting diode serial C1～Cm opened a way detect and short-circuit detecting.When detecting light emitting diode serial C1～Cm open circuit take place; The embodiment of the invention further changes according to the level of the second voltage V2; Restart the short-circuit detecting of light emitting diode serial C1～Cm, with the situation of avoiding being short-circuited immediately and judging by accident after the light-emitting diode open-circuit.
Of prior art; Because when open circuit takes place in the light emitting diode serial; The cathode voltage of light emitting diode serial (being the head space voltage of current drives assembly) (for example: zero potential) can be pulled to electronegative potential; Therefore whether open circuit detector 24 can be lower than one first critical voltage according to cathode voltage VHR1～VHRm of light emitting diode serial C1～Cm, judges whether light emitting diode serial C1～Cm opens a way.On the contrary; Because when the light emitting diode serial is short-circuited; The cathode voltage of light emitting diode serial can improve accordingly; Therefore short circuit detector 25 can judge whether light emitting diode serial C1～Cm the light-emitting diodes tube short circuit takes place according to cathode voltage VHR1～VHRm of light emitting diode serial C1～Cm whether greater than one second critical voltage.Certainly, above-mentioned first critical voltage can not be higher than the head space voltage of the current drives assembly under the normal running, and second critical voltage can not be lower than the head space voltage of the current drives assembly under the normal running, breaks to avoid under normal conditions, producing erroneous judgement.

Because the cross-pressure size of light emitting diode is constant; Therefore (any light-emitting diode open-circuit or short circuit promptly do not take place) under normal operation, cathode voltage VHR1～VHRm of light emitting diode serial C1～Cm can have identical level variation tendency with the output voltage V 2 of electric pressure converter 51.Under this situation, when the level variation tendency of the cathode voltage VHR1～VHRm of light emitting diode serial C1～Cm and the second voltage V2 not simultaneously, the open circuit that the embodiment of the invention can be carried out the light emitting diode serial according to this detects and short-circuit detecting.Thus, the embodiment of the invention also can be improved prior art and can't be simultaneously the light emitting diode string row be opened a way and detect and the shortcoming of short-circuit detecting.About the detail operations of light-emitting diode assembly 50, please continue with reference to following explanation.
Please refer to Fig. 6, Fig. 6 is used for the sketch map that light-emitting diode assembly 50 detects a flow process 60 of open circuit and short circuit simultaneously for the embodiment of the invention.Flow process 60 is used for realizing an operating process of light-emitting diode assembly 50, and it includes the following step:
Step 600: beginning.
Step 610:, produce Control of Voltage signal VCTRL according to cathode voltage VHR1～VHRm of light emitting diode serial C1～Cm.
Step 620:, light emitting diode serial C1～Cm opened a way detect and short-circuit detecting according to the level variation tendency of the cathode voltage VHR1～VHRm and the second voltage V2 of light emitting diode serial C1～Cm.
Step 630: finish.
According to flow process 60, the embodiment of the invention produces Control of Voltage signal VCTRL at first according to cathode voltage VHR1～VHRm of light emitting diode serial C1～Cm.Then, the embodiment of the invention can be according to the level variation tendency of the cathode voltage VHR1～VHRm and the second voltage V2 of light emitting diode serial C1～Cm, light emitting diode serial C1～Cm is opened a way detect and short-circuit detecting.
In other words; After the voltage transitions loop is set up; Whether the embodiment of the invention can identical with the level variation tendency of the second voltage V2 by the cathode voltage VHR1～VHRm that detects light emitting diode serial C1～Cm, comes open a way detection and short-circuit detecting to light emitting diode serial C1～Cm.For instance, please refer to Fig. 7, Fig. 7 has explained when open circuit or short circuit take place light emitting diode serial Cx, the level variation tendency of the cathode voltage VHRx of light emitting diode serial Cx and the output voltage V 2 of electric pressure converter.As previously mentioned; When open circuit takes place in light emitting diode serial Cx; Its cathode voltage VHRx can be pulled to electronegative potential, and (for example: zero potential), and voltage selector 532 can select its cathode voltage VHRx as feedback voltage VFB, and the output voltage V 2 of boosted voltage converter 51.On the contrary, when light emitting diode serial Cx is short-circuited, i.e. the cross-pressure of some light emitting diode is zero among the light emitting diode serial Cx, and causes its cathode voltage VHRx therefore to be enhanced.
Therefore, descend, and during the level rising of the second voltage V2, open circuit can judge that with short circuit detector 54 light emitting diode serial Cx opens a way when detecting corresponding to the cathode voltage VHRx of light emitting diode serial Cx.On the contrary, rise when detecting corresponding to the cathode voltage VHRx of light emitting diode serial Cx, and the level of the second voltage V2 is when constant, then open circuit can judge that with short circuit detector 54 light emitting diode serial Cx is short-circuited.Thus, by this kind detection mode, the embodiment of the invention also can be improved prior art and can't be simultaneously the light emitting diode string row be opened a way and detect and the shortcoming of short-circuit detecting.
Certainly, embodiment of the invention flow process 60 also includes the following step: when detecting light emitting diode serial C1～Cm open circuit takes place, cut off the light emitting diode serial of open circuit and being electrically connected of circuit controls unit 53; And when detecting light emitting diode serial C1～Cm and be short-circuited, the light emitting diode serial of the cutting-off of short-circuit and being electrically connected of current drives unit 52 etc., it is the technology that this area tool is known the knowledgeable usually and known, and does not add to give unnecessary details in this.
Generally speaking, the method that the present invention provides light-emitting diode assembly to open a way detection and short-circuit detecting simultaneously produces the situation of short circuit erroneous judgement to avoid prior art after light-emitting diode open-circuit.
