Abstract

An LED structure is applied to a backlight source to set a white light of a backlight module at a standard D65 position of the CIE1931 chromaticity coordinates and used together with a display module. A red phosphor for emitting a red light, a yellow phosphor for emitting a yellow light, and a blue light LED chip are provided. The mixing ratio of the red phosphor to the yellow phosphor is controlled within a range of (2.33−1):1, so that the original LED white light falls within a region enclosed by ccy≦1.8*ccx−0.12, ccy≧1.8*ccx−0.336, ccy≦0.33 and ccy≧0.15 of the CIE1931 coordinates. Since the red phosphor does not absorb or convert yellow light, the brightness loss of the yellow light that excites the yellow phosphor is minimized. A color filter may be installed to achieve better NTSC effect and luminous efficacy.

Abstract

Disclosed is a purely resistive dimming circuit for driving LEDs to emit light and support an LED dimming function. The LEDs are divided into a first string and a second string connected in series with each other. The purely resistive dimming circuit is respectively and electrically coupled to an anode terminal of the first string and an anode terminal of the second string by a driving resistor and a current limiting resistor which are connected in series with each other. The resistance of the driving resistor restricts the LEDs to emit light at different stages to enhance the working efficiency of circuits, while using the property of the current limiting resistor to limit the overvoltage current, so as to achieve a constant power operating effect.

Abstract

A ceiling lamp adopting a non-separating driver circuit includes a conversion module and a control module. The conversion module converts an input voltage into an operating voltage to drive the LEDs and forming a driving current, and the control module monitors the operating voltage and the driving current to adjust the operating cycle of the conversion module, change the output voltage value of the operating voltage, and linearly change the driving current at a constant current state. The conversion module just executes the power conversion for one time to provide the driving power of the LEDs instead of using the conventional driving method that executes a two-stage power conversion by a separating power converter and a negative booster of the conventional ceiling lamp. Therefore, the ceiling lamp adopting a non-separating driver circuit is capable of lowering the circuit cost and improving the operating efficiency.
