Abstract:
A method of supplying a power to elements in a power supply apparatus including a primary side and a second side. Particularly, a method of supplying a driving power to an element at the primary side of the power supply apparatus from a primary coil of a transformer. A power factor improvement section improves a power factor of a received alternating current (AC) power. A transformer then receives the AC power having the improved power factor from a primary coil and generates an induced power at a secondary coil. The transformer then provides the AC power to drive a predetermined element located at the primary side of the power supply apparatus from the primary coil.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a display apparatus comprising a light emitting element supplying light, and a switch to switch on and off power, which is supplied to the light emitting element. A comparing unit compares a predetermined first reference voltage and an output voltage which is proportional to a current applied to the light emitting element. A controller compares a comparison voltage output, which is a comparison result of the comparing unit and a predetermined second reference voltage, in order to control the switch to be switched on and off. Accordingly, the present invention provides a display apparatus and control method which precisely controls a size of a current applied to a light emitting element.

Abstract:
A power factor compensation method and apparatus adapted for use in a power supply which provides direct-current (DC) power via a capacitive input type smoothing circuit, and an improved power supply using the same. The power factor compensation method can correct a power factor in the power supply which rectifies an input alternating-current (AC) voltage and smoothes the same using the capacitive input type smoothing circuit to supply a DC voltage. The method may include rectifying the input AC voltage, cutting off a pulsating current generated in the rectifying operation at phases of about π/2 and 3 π/2 of the input AC voltage so that the pulsating current is not transferred to a smoothing circuit, and smoothing the pulsating current generated in the cutting-off operation. The power factor compensation apparatus does not form a peak envelope of current at phases of about π/2 and 3 π/2 of the input AC voltage, thereby improving a power factor and reducing a harmonic current. The power factor compensation apparatus uses a leak inductance in an AC transformer at maximum to provide a low-price power supply.

A power supply device having an overvoltage cutoff function, an image display device, and a method of cutting off overvoltage are provided. The power supply device includes a switch unit which cuts off a power supply to the power supply device; and an overvoltage sensing unit which compares a voltage of the power supply device with a specified reference voltage, and if the voltage of the power supply device is higher than the specified reference voltage, generates an overvoltage cutoff signal to control the switch unit. The overvoltage cutoff signal is used to report a power supply cutoff state. Accordingly, the damage of the power supply device due to an unstable AC input voltage can be prevented and the user can be alerted to the overvoltage through the display of the power supply cutoff state.
