Drive device of color led backlight

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a drive device of a color light emitting diode (LED) backlight, which is capable of precisely adjusting the forward voltages of color LED arrays for each channel. The drive device for driving the color light emitting diode (LED) backlight which includes a plurality of color LED arrays includes an I/O interface for inputting/outputting a signal, a control unit for controlling a driving voltage and driving current according to a brightness control signal output from the I/O interface, a DC/DC converter for converting an operation voltage into the driving voltage according to the driving voltage control of the control unit, a voltage regulator for regulating the driving voltage output from the DC/DC converter to a reference voltage without ripple, a multi-channel driving unit for converting the reference voltage output from the voltage regulator into forward voltages of the plurality of color LED arrays according to a plurality of control signals, and a current source for adjusting the amount of the driving current flowing in the color LED backlight according to the driving current control of the control unit.
