Abstract:
The present invention provides a display apparatus and method supplying power to a light source where driving power is supplied to the light source, a main power path is provided through which the driving power is supplied from the power supply to the light source, a standby power path is branched from the main power path and returned to the power supply, a switching unit selects the driving power to be supplied from the power supply to either of the main power path or the standby power path, a standby power adjuster adjusts standby power applied to the standby power path and a controller controls the standby power adjuster to make the standby power be within an allowable range when the power is not applied to the main power path. Accordingly, a display apparatus and method which prevent a standby power from being continuously boosted up when a light source is turned off, thereby improving a display performance thereof are provided.
Abstract:
An electronic apparatus and method of controlling the electronic apparatus are provided, in which a power supply supplies a driving voltage to a system; and a controller sequentially outputs a control signal controlling a level of the driving voltage to the power supply until a level of a usage voltage corresponding to the driving voltage in the system becomes substantially identical to a predetermined reference level, if the level of the usage voltage is not substantially identical to the reference level. Accordingly, the electronic apparatus and control method thereof automatically adjusts a size of driving power supplied to respective parts of the electronic apparatus.
Abstract:
A convergence output circuit for converging signals corresponding to the primary colors of an input video signal which reduces power loss by including a positive power source voltage supply circuit for supplying a first voltage to a first current supply circuit during a blanking period of the input video signal and for supplying a second voltage, lower than the first voltage, to the first current supply circuit during a scanning period of the video signal, both the first and second voltages being positive. A negative power source voltage supply circuit supplies a third voltage, opposite in polarity to the first voltage, to the second current supply circuit during the blanking period and supplies a fourth voltage, opposite in polarity to the second voltage, to the second current supply circuit during the scanning period, both the third and fourth voltages being negative.
Abstract:
A Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting device capable of correcting changes in a wavelength of light output from an LED element caused by changes in temperature, and a method for controlling the same are provided. The lighting device includes a temperature-current converter which generates a current command value to correct change in a wavelength of output light based on temperature information indicating temperature of the light source, and a light source driver which receives the current command value, adjusts amplitude of a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal, and controls a driving electric current of the light source according to the adjusted PWM signal.
Abstract:
A display apparatus is provided to operate a light emitting unit with a small number of power drivers. The display apparatus has a plurality of light emitting units, a power driver, whose total provided therein is less than the total of light emitting units, that outputs driving power to the light emitting units. A power switch is switched on and off to supply the driving power to one of the plurality of light emitting units, and a controller controls the power switch to sequentially supply the driving power to the plurality of light emitting units.
