Light emitting diode driving apparatus |
摘要 |
A light emitting diode (LED) driving apparatus is disclosed. The LED driving apparatus includes a rectifier for rectifying an alternating current (AC) voltage to supply a ripple voltage, a light emitting unit partitioned into two or more groups, each of the groups including a plurality of LEDs, and a driving controller for selectively driving one or more of the groups of the light emitting unit depending on a level of the ripple voltage, the driving controller driving at least one of the groups of the light emitting unit using current discharged from a capacitor connected with the at least one group when the ripple voltage is lower than an operating voltage of the light emitting unit. |

1. A light emitting diode (LED) driving apparatus comprising:
a rectifier for rectifying an alternating current (AC) voltage to supply a ripple voltage; a light emitting unit partitioned into two or more groups, each of the groups including a plurality of LEDs; and a driving controller for selectively driving one or more of the groups of the light emitting unit depending on a level of the ripple voltage, the driving controller driving at least one of the groups of the light emitting unit using current discharged from a capacitor connected with the at least one group when the ripple voltage is lower than an operating voltage of the light emitting unit. |
