LED ARRAY TYPE LIGHT SOURCE

摘要

An LED array type light source includes two types of regulating resistor devices, one type being a plurality of first regulating resistors which are adapted to equalize the amount of light in each LED of an LED array type light source which includes a group of LED chips consisting of a plurality of juxtaposed LED chip trains, each of the LED chip trains consisting of a plurality of LED chips connected in series with one another. The other type of regulating resistor device is a second regulating resistor which is adapted to regulate the amount of light through the entire LED array type light source. Each of the first regulating resistors is connected in series with the respective one of the LED chip trains so as to regulate the amount of light in that LED chip train. The second regulating resistor is serially connected in common with the first regulating resistors so as to regulate the amount of light through the entire group of LED chips. This eliminates any dispersion in the amount of light between the LED chips and further regulate the entire amount of light.
