Abstract

See full text

A LED backlight module including a LED string and a driving apparatus is provided. The driving apparatus comprises a sensing resistor, an adjustable voltage-divider circuit, a comparator, a power converter and a control circuit. The sensing resistor is coupled between a cathode of the LED string and a ground potential and generates a feedback voltage. The adjustable voltage-divider circuit generates a reference voltage according to a dividing ratio which is controlled by a first signal set and a second signal set. The comparator compares the feedback voltage and the reference voltage, and generates a control signal accordingly. The power converter provides a DC voltage to an anode of the LED string according to the control signal. The control circuit counts a disable period of a dimming signal to generate the first signal set, and counts an enable period of the dimming signal to generate the second signal set.
