Apparatus and method for driving light emitting diode

A driving apparatus for driving at least one first light emitting diode unit and a second light emitting diode unit, the driving apparatus comprising:

• a data transmitting unit for receiving and storing driving data, the driving data comprising first data corresponding to a first driving signal and second data corresponding to a second driving signal;
• and
• a driving unit coupled to the data transmitting unit to drive the first light emitting diode unit according to the first driving data and drive the second light emitting diode unit according to the second driving data;
• wherein the driving unit divides the first driving signal into a plurality of first sub-driving signals and the second driving signal into a plurality of second sub-driving signals, and then alternately outputs the first sub-driving signals and the second sub-driving signals to alternately drive the first light emitting diode unit and the second light emitting diode unit.
