摘要 |
An illumination apparatus using a light emitting diode is directly driven by an alternating current (AC) power source, displays colors and simultaneously controls a color's brightness level. The illumination apparatus includes a power terminal unit to which an AC power source is applied; a variable current unit connected to one end of the power terminal unit, dividing current provided from the power terminal unit into a plurality of current levels, and including first, second and third variable current units controlling the plurality of divided current levels, respectively; and a light emitting unit including red, green, and blue light emitting units, respectively disposed between the first variable current unit and the other end of the power terminal unit, between the second variable current unit and the other end of the power terminal unit, and between the third variable current unit and the other end of the power terminal unit.
