Since the eight sets of driving parameters loaded in the normal mode are the driving parameters adjusted by the backlight module 302 in the calibration mode, the backlight module 302 loads the eight driving parameters and controls the plurality of LEDs accordingly. In the case of a polar body string, an effect of causing the backlight module 3〇2 to emit a uniform backlight can be achieved. The backlight module 302 of the present invention mainly senses the luminance of the LED arrays 402(1) to 402(M) in the backlight module 3〇2 through the sensing unit 304b of the sensing component 304. The backlight module 3〇2 of the present invention further performs the correction mode, so that the control unit 406 in the backlight module 302 adjusts the values of the eight sets of driving parameters in the backlight module go? according to the sensing result of the sensing unit 304b. Thus, the current ID "(1) to ID" (M)" flowing through the LED strings 402(1) to 402(M) can be adjusted to the pair of light-emitting diodes 402(1) to 402(M). The brightness of the adjustment is adjusted. In this way, even if the element characteristics of the light-emitting diodes 4〇2a in the LED strings 402(1) to 402(M) have some errors, the backlight module 302 can be adjusted by adjusting the eight sets of driving parameters. The backlight module 302 emits a uniform backlight.丄JJOZ/4 2010/10/18 The modified embodiment is illustrated by an 8-level LED string and 8 sensing units 4〇4b: I, but the backlight module 302 disclosed in the embodiment is illuminated 1 The group of strings, and the number of sensing units of the sensing component 3〇4 are not secret. (4) It is said that 'a pair of p-pole strings can also be divided into groups, and the mother group has one string of light-emitting diodes. The backlight module disclosed in the above embodiment, the system for adjusting the brightness of the backlight module, and the driving method of the back money group can adjust the current flowing through the LED string according to the brightness of the LED string of the backlight module. Therefore, the conventional backlight module can avoid the problem that the backlight module is not uniform due to the fact that only the substantially equal current can be supplied. Therefore, the backlight module of the present invention has the advantages of making the backlight more uniform. Therefore, in the backlight module of the present invention, the electrical system flowing through each of the light-emitting diodes has adjustability, so that the backlight module of the present invention can tolerate the error of the component characteristics of the light-emitting body, and the degree is also high. That is, the optical module of the present invention can be used with a polarizing body having a high difference in characteristics and a low cost. Therefore, the backlight module of the present invention has the advantages of low cost. The backlight module of the present invention can adjust the backlight luminance of the backlight module by adjusting the current flowing through the LED module 2, so that the backlight of the present invention can be recalibrated after a long time of use. Illumination of the brightness of the backlight-The backlight module of the invention can effectively solve the problem that the backlight brightness of the conventional backlight module is not uniform due to the different trapping degree of the 22nd polar body.
