摘要 |
Disclosed herein is a drive device of a color light emitting diode (LED) backlight, which is capable of uniformly controlling an optical output of an LED regardless of a variation in an ambient temperature and easily changing characteristic data (by referring to a lookup table). The drive device for driving the color LED backlight which includes a plurality of color LED arrays includes a voltage detecting unit for detecting a voltage applied to the color LED backlight, a temperature detecting unit for detecting a temperature of the color LED backlight, a control unit for controlling driving currents which respectively flow in the color LED arrays of the color LED backlight according to the temperature detected by the temperature detecting unit and the voltage detected by the voltage detecting unit, by referring to previously set driving current values, and a multi-channel current source for adjusting amounts of the driving currents which respectively flow in the color LED arrays of the color LED backlight, by the driving current control of the control unit.
