可避免闪烁效应的控制方法及发光装置 Control method and light emitting device capable of avoiding flicker effect

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种控制方法及发光装置,特别是涉及一种可动态检测负载电流,以避免闪烁效应的控制方法及发光装置。The invention relates to a control method and a light emitting device, in particular to a control method and a light emitting device capable of dynamically detecting load current to avoid the flicker effect.

背景技术Background technique

随着能源危机的来临与环保意识的抬头,节能与环保的需求成为现今全球普遍关注的议题。相较于传统所使用的光源,发光二极管(Light EmittingDiode,LED)由于具有省电、组件寿命长、无汞、色域丰富、无须暖灯时间以及反应速度快等优势,因此,发光二极管已被广泛应用于显示与照明用的光源。除此之外,由于发光二极管的体积小、重量轻、耐碰撞、适合量产、容易配合应用需求等特性而可制成极小或阵列式的组件,因此发光二极管除了应用于户外各种显示器及交通号志灯外,还可应用于各式电子产品或便携式产品上,例如液晶显示器、移动电话、便携式计算机与个人数字助理等的屏幕背光源。With the advent of the energy crisis and the rising awareness of environmental protection, the demand for energy conservation and environmental protection has become a topic of widespread concern around the world. Compared with traditional light sources, light-emitting diodes (Light Emitting Diode, LED) have the advantages of power saving, long component life, no mercury, rich color gamut, no need to warm up the lamp time, and fast response. Therefore, light-emitting diodes have been used It is widely used as a light source for display and lighting. In addition, light-emitting diodes can be made into extremely small or arrayed components due to their small size, light weight, impact resistance, suitability for mass production, and easy adaptation to application requirements. Therefore, light-emitting diodes are not only used in various outdoor displays In addition to traffic signal lights, it can also be applied to various electronic products or portable products, such as the screen backlight of LCD monitors, mobile phones, portable computers and personal digital assistants.

请参考图1,图1为现有的一发光二极管驱动电路10的示意图。发光二极管驱动电路10用来驱动一发光二极管光源模块102。如图1所示,发光二极管光源模块102包含有m个并列的发光二极管群组C1~Cm,而每一发光二极管串行包含有n个串接的发光二极管。发光二极管驱动电路10包含有一电压转换器104、一电流源106、一脉冲宽度调制单元108及一控制单元110。电压转换器104用来提供一驱动电压VD至发光二极管光源模块102。电流源106用来提供驱动电流ID1~IDm至发光二极管光源模块102。脉冲宽度调制单元108用来根据一调光讯号SD,进行调光程序。一般而言,在各发光二极管群组C1~Cm路径上会有其对应的头部空间电压(Headroomvoltage)VHR1~VHRm,表示各发光二极管群组C1~Cm路径上,可供电流源106使用的电压值。在实际应用上,为了稳定地控制发光二极管的亮度及功耗,通常会使流经发光二极管的电流保持稳定不变(即驱动电流ID1~IDm保持稳定不变)。然而,由于工艺上非理想因素的影响或其它任何因素,将使得各个发光二极管的跨压并非完全相同,而造成头部空间电压VHR1~VHRm不尽相同。在此情况下,头部空间电压过高或过低,对于发光二极管驱动电路10皆有不佳的影响,举例来说,头部空间电压过高,则会耗费过多的电压在电流源106上;反之,头部空间电压过低,将会造成电流源106操作在不适当的状态,而无法稳定提供所需的驱动电流。Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of a conventional LED driving circuit 10 . The LED driving circuit 10 is used to drive an LED light source module 102 . As shown in FIG. 1 , the LED light source module 102 includes m parallel LED groups C 1 -C m , and each LED string includes n serially connected LEDs. The LED driving circuit 10 includes a voltage converter 104 , a current source 106 , a pulse width modulation unit 108 and a control unit 110 . The voltage converter 104 is used to provide a driving voltage V D to the LED light source module 102 . The current source 106 is used to provide driving currents ID1 -IDm to the LED light source module 102 . The pulse width modulation unit 108 is used for performing a dimming procedure according to a dimming signal SD . Generally speaking, there are corresponding headroom voltages (Headroom voltage) V HR1 ˜V HRm on the path of each LED group C 1 ˜C m , indicating that on the path of each LED group C 1 ˜C m , it can be The voltage value used by the current source 106 . In practical applications, in order to stably control the brightness and power consumption of the LEDs, the current flowing through the LEDs is usually kept stable (that is, the driving currents ID1 ˜IDm are kept stable). However, due to the impact of non-ideal factors in the process or any other factors, the voltages across the light emitting diodes are not completely the same, resulting in the headspace voltages V HR1 -V HRm being different. In this case, the head space voltage is too high or too low, which will have a bad influence on the LED driving circuit 10. For example, if the head space voltage is too high, too much voltage will be consumed in the current source 106. On the contrary, if the voltage of the headspace is too low, the current source 106 will operate in an inappropriate state and cannot stably provide the required driving current.

因此,在图1中,现有技术是藉由负回授的控制单元110来控制电压转换器104改变驱动电压VD,使头部空间电压调整至一适当的定值。控制单元110包含有一电压选择器112、一误差放大器114与一转换控制器116。电压选择器112耦接于各发光二极管群组C1~Cm的输出端,用来选择头部空间电压VHR1~VHRm的其中一个,当作一回授电压VFB,并将回授电压VFB及一预设参考电压VREF分别输入误差放大器114的负输入端与正输入端。误差放大器114根据回授电压VFB及预设参考电压VREF的差异,产生一误差讯号SE。转换控制器116会根据误差讯号SE,产生一控制讯号SC,来控制电压转换器104进行电压转换,以输出驱动电压VD。也就是说,当各发光二极管群组C1~Cm所对应的头部空间电压VHR1~VHRm过低时,误差放大器114会产生误差讯号SE至转换控制器116,转换控制器116进而利用控制讯号SC,使电压转换器104提高驱动电压VD。如此一来,在驱动电流ID1~IDm固定不变,且各发光二极管上的跨压亦不会变动的情况下,藉由控制单元110控制提升驱动电压VD,头部空间电压VHR1~VHRm亦会跟着提升,两者之间成正向变化的关系,同理,反之亦然。换句话说,在稳定供应的驱动电流ID1~IDm下,发光二极管驱动电路10可以通过控制单元110回授追踪,将头部空间电压锁定在一个合理的电压值(即预设参考电压VREF)。Therefore, in FIG. 1 , in the prior art, the negative feedback control unit 110 is used to control the voltage converter 104 to change the driving voltage V D to adjust the head space voltage to an appropriate constant value. The control unit 110 includes a voltage selector 112 , an error amplifier 114 and a conversion controller 116 . The voltage selector 112 is coupled to the output terminals of each LED group C 1 -C m , and is used to select one of the head space voltages V HR1 -V HRm as a feedback voltage V FB , and feed back The voltage V FB and a preset reference voltage V REF are respectively input to the negative input terminal and the positive input terminal of the error amplifier 114 . The error amplifier 114 generates an error signal S E according to the difference between the feedback voltage V FB and the preset reference voltage V REF . The conversion controller 116 generates a control signal S C according to the error signal S E to control the voltage converter 104 to perform voltage conversion to output the driving voltage V D . That is to say, when the head space voltages V HR1 ˜V HRm corresponding to each LED group C 1 ˜C m are too low, the error amplifier 114 will generate an error signal S E to the conversion controller 116 , and the conversion controller 116 Further, the voltage converter 104 increases the driving voltage V D by using the control signal S C . In this way, under the condition that the driving currents I D1 ˜I Dm are constant and the voltages across the light emitting diodes do not change, the control unit 110 controls to increase the driving voltage V D , and the head space voltage V HR1 ~V HRm will also increase accordingly, and there is a positive relationship between the two, the same reason, and vice versa. In other words, under the stable supply of driving currents I D1 ˜I Dm , the LED driving circuit 10 can lock the voltage of the head space at a reasonable voltage value (ie, the preset reference voltage V REF ).

然而,在许多情况下,通过发光二极管的电流仍然会有电流变异的情况,举例来说,当执行调光程序时,通常是利用调整通过发光二极管的电流大小(亦即调整驱动电流ID1~IDm的大小)来改变发光二极管的亮度。在此情况下,由于驱动电流ID1~IDm会发生变化,使得发光二极管的跨压随着变化。因此,在前述现有技术中,若仅通过与固定的预设参考电压VREF的比较来调整驱动电压VD,可能会因冗长的回授追踪时间,而无法实时地将驱动电压VD提升至合适的电平,导致回授追踪的这段期间,电流源106会因头部空间电压不足,而无法提供足够的驱动电流,发光二极管将因此产生闪烁现象。However, in many cases, the current through the LED still has current variation. For example, when performing a dimming program, it is usually used to adjust the current through the LED (that is, to adjust the driving current ID1 ~ I Dm size) to change the brightness of the LED. In this case, since the driving currents I D1 ˜I Dm will change, the voltage across the light emitting diode will change accordingly. Therefore, in the aforementioned prior art, if the driving voltage V D is only adjusted by comparing with the fixed preset reference voltage V REF , the driving voltage V D may not be raised in real time due to the lengthy feedback tracking time. During the feedback tracking period, the current source 106 cannot provide sufficient driving current due to insufficient headspace voltage, and the light emitting diode will flicker.

请参考图2,图2为本发明实施例一发光装置20的示意图。发光装置20包含有一电压转换器202、一发光光源模块204、一可变电流源206及一控制单元208。其中,发光装置20可适用于任何种类的光源。电压转换器202用来根据一电压控制讯号SC,将一输入电压VIN转换成一输出电压VD,以提供至发光光源模块204。发光光源模块204耦接于电压转换器204。要注意的是,在本实施例中,发光光源模块204包含有发光二极管群组C1~Cm,但不以此为限,亦可仅有一个发光二极管群组。另一方面,由于发光二极管为一电流驱动组件,其发光亮度与驱动电流大小成正比,亦即,驱动电流越大,则发光二极管的发光亮度也就越大。一般而言,为求流经各发光二极管的电流相同来达到相同亮度的要求,因此,在本实施例中,每一发光二极管群组包含有n个串联方式耦接的发光二极管,但发光二极管群组C1~Cm并未局限于n个串接的发光二极管,换言之,各发光二极管群组亦可仅包含单一发光二极管。除此之外,可变电流源206耦接于发光光源模块204,用来提供流经各发光二极管群组的负载电流IL1~ILm,以驱动发光光源模块204。控制单元208耦接于发光光源模块204与电压转换器202,用来自发光光源模块204,取得一回授电压VFB,并检测流经发光光源模块204的负载电流IL1~ILm的变化情况,以产生一电流检测讯号SL。接着,控制单元根据电流检测讯号SL,调整一可变参考电压VREF_V,并根据回授电压VFB及可变参考电压VREF_V,产生电压控制讯号SC至电压转换器202。换言之,控制单元208实时地检测流经发光光源模块204的负载电流IL1~ILm的变化情况,来动态调整可变参考电压VREF_V,进而控制电压转换器202实时转换出适当的输出电压VD,以提供至发光光源模块204。Please refer to FIG. 2 , which is a schematic diagram of a light emitting device 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The lighting device 20 includes a voltage converter 202 , a lighting source module 204 , a variable current source 206 and a control unit 208 . Wherein, the light emitting device 20 can be applied to any kind of light source. The voltage converter 202 is used to convert an input voltage V IN into an output voltage V D according to a voltage control signal S C , so as to provide it to the light emitting source module 204 . The light source module 204 is coupled to the voltage converter 204 . It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the light emitting source module 204 includes LED groups C 1 -C m , but it is not limited thereto, and there may be only one LED group. On the other hand, since the LED is a current-driven component, its luminous brightness is directly proportional to the magnitude of the driving current, that is, the larger the driving current, the greater the luminous brightness of the LED. Generally speaking, in order to achieve the same brightness requirement by requiring the same current flowing through each LED, in this embodiment, each LED group includes n LEDs coupled in series, but the LEDs The groups C 1 -C m are not limited to n light-emitting diodes connected in series, in other words, each light-emitting diode group may only include a single light-emitting diode. In addition, the variable current source 206 is coupled to the light emitting source module 204 for providing load currents I L1 -I Lm flowing through each light emitting diode group to drive the light emitting source module 204 . The control unit 208 is coupled to the light source module 204 and the voltage converter 202, and is used to obtain a feedback voltage V FB from the light source module 204, and detect the change of the load current I L1 ˜I Lm flowing through the light source module 204 , to generate a current detection signal S L . Next, the control unit adjusts a variable reference voltage V REF_V according to the current detection signal SL , and generates a voltage control signal S C to the voltage converter 202 according to the feedback voltage V FB and the variable reference voltage V REF_V . In other words, the control unit 208 detects the change of the load current I L1 ˜I Lm flowing through the light source module 204 in real time to dynamically adjust the variable reference voltage V REF_V , and then controls the voltage converter 202 to convert an appropriate output voltage V in real time. D , to provide to the light source module 204 .

进一步说明控制单元208,请继续参考图2。控制单元208包含有一电压选择器210、一电流检测器212、一运算单元214、一参考电压转换器216、一误差放大器218及一转换控制器220。电压选择器210耦接于发光光源模块204,用来于对应于各个发光二极管群组C1~Cm的头部空间电压VHR1~VHRm中,选择出回授电压VFB。电流检测器212耦接于发光光源模块,用来检测负载电流IL1~ILm的变化情况,以产生电流检测讯号SL。运算单元214耦接于电流检测器212,用来根据电流检测讯号SL,产生一参考电压转换讯号SV。参考电压转换器216耦接于运算单元214,用来根据参考电压转换讯号SV,产生可变参考电压VREF_V。因此,于电流检测讯号SL指示负载电流IL1~ILm有变化时,运算单元214会通过参考电压转换讯号SV,通知参考电压转换器216产生所需的可变参考电压VREF_V。举例来说,于电流检测讯号指示负载电流IL1~ILm变大时,运算单元214会通知参考电压转换器216调高可变参考电压VREF_V;同理,于电流检测讯号指示负载电流IL1~ILm变小时,通知参考电压转换器216降低可变参考电压VREF_VFor further description of the control unit 208 , please continue to refer to FIG. 2 . The control unit 208 includes a voltage selector 210 , a current detector 212 , a computing unit 214 , a reference voltage converter 216 , an error amplifier 218 and a conversion controller 220 . The voltage selector 210 is coupled to the light emitting source module 204 for selecting the feedback voltage V FB from the head space voltages V HR1 ˜V HRm corresponding to the LED groups C 1 ˜C m . The current detector 212 is coupled to the light source module, and is used to detect the change of the load current I L1 ˜I Lm to generate a current detection signal S L . The computing unit 214 is coupled to the current detector 212 and used for generating a reference voltage conversion signal S V according to the current detection signal SL . The reference voltage converter 216 is coupled to the computing unit 214 and used for generating a variable reference voltage V REF_V according to the reference voltage conversion signal S V . Therefore, when the current detection signal SL indicates that the load currents I L1 ˜ILm vary, the computing unit 214 will notify the reference voltage converter 216 to generate the required variable reference voltage V REF_V through the reference voltage conversion signal S V . For example, when the current detection signal indicates that the load current I L1 ˜I Lm becomes larger, the calculation unit 214 will notify the reference voltage converter 216 to increase the variable reference voltage V REF_V ; similarly, when the current detection signal indicates that the load current I When L1 ˜I Lm becomes smaller, the reference voltage converter 216 is notified to decrease the variable reference voltage V REF_V .

进一步地,误差放大器218的一正输入端及一负输入端分别耦接于参考电压转换器216与电压选择器210,用来根据可变参考电压VREF_V及回授电压VFB,产生一误差电压讯号SE。转换控制器220耦接于误差放大器218的一输出端与电压转换器202间,用来根据误差电压讯号SE,产生电压控制讯号SC,以提供至电压转换器。在此情况下,于回授电压VFB大于或是小于可变参考电压VREF_V时,误差放大器218会根据两者间的差异,产生误差电压讯号SE来通知转换控制器220,转换控制器220再据以产生电压控制讯号SC,以调高或降低输出电压VD。简言之,控制单元208将可实时地检测负载电流变化,进而动态调整输入误差放大器218的参考电压,以达实时且有效地完成回授追踪至适当输出电压VDFurthermore, a positive input terminal and a negative input terminal of the error amplifier 218 are respectively coupled to the reference voltage converter 216 and the voltage selector 210 for generating an error according to the variable reference voltage V REF_V and the feedback voltage V FB . Voltage signal S E . The switching controller 220 is coupled between an output terminal of the error amplifier 218 and the voltage converter 202 for generating a voltage control signal S C according to the error voltage signal S E to provide to the voltage converter. In this case, when the feedback voltage V FB is greater than or less than the variable reference voltage V REF_V , the error amplifier 218 will generate an error voltage signal SE to notify the conversion controller 220 according to the difference between the two, and the conversion controller Based on this, the 220 generates a voltage control signal S C to increase or decrease the output voltage V D . In short, the control unit 208 can detect the change of the load current in real time, and then dynamically adjust the reference voltage input to the error amplifier 218 to achieve real-time and effective feedback tracking to the proper output voltage V D .

因此,本发明通过控制单元208可实时地检测流经发光光源模块204的负载电流IL1~ILm的变化情况,来动态调整可变参考电压VREF_V,进而控制电压转换器202实时转换出适当的输出电压VD。如此一来,当有负载电流变化的情况时,将可有效避免因头部空间电压被压缩至过小,使得可变电流源206无法提供足够的负载电流,而导致发光光源模块204发生闪烁现象,亦不会因头部空间电压过高而耗费过多电压损耗在可变电流源206上,而降低整体电压转换效率。Therefore, in the present invention, the control unit 208 can detect the change of the load current I L1 ˜I Lm flowing through the light source module 204 in real time to dynamically adjust the variable reference voltage V REF_V , and then control the voltage converter 202 to convert an appropriate voltage in real time. the output voltage V D . In this way, when the load current changes, it is possible to effectively prevent the head space voltage from being compressed to too low, so that the variable current source 206 cannot provide enough load current, which will cause the light source module 204 to flicker. , and will not consume too much voltage on the variable current source 206 due to the high head space voltage, thereby reducing the overall voltage conversion efficiency.
