Abstract:
A backlight unit and a display apparatus are provided. The display apparatus includes a power supply unit which outputs a first voltage; a light emitting unit which includes a first end connected to the power supply unit, and a second end, the first end receiving the first voltage from the power supply unit; and a compensation unit which includes a first end connected to the second end of the light emitting unit, and which compensates a deviation between the first voltage and a rated voltage of the light emitting unit.
Abstract:
A display apparatus, a backlight unit, a backlight providing method for controlling a plurality of light emitting diode (LED) strings are provided. The display apparatus includes a display panel, and a backlight unit (BLU) which projects backlight onto the display panel, wherein the BLU includes a plurality of light emitting diode (LED) strings, and a power supply unit which supplies minimum voltage from among the voltages needed to operate the plurality of LED strings to the plurality of LED strings. Therefore, the plurality of LED strings can have the same luminance.
Abstract:
A current balancing apparatus, a power supply apparatus, a lighting apparatus, and a current balancing method for preventing luminance imbalance are provided. The current balancing apparatus includes a balancer for balancing an AC current and a rectifier for generating a DC current by rectifying the balanced current. Hence, the luminance imbalance caused by dispersion of a light source can be addressed.
