There are provided an LED driving apparatus and an LED driving method thereof. The LED driving apparatus includes: a light emitting unit including one or more LEDs, a rectifying unit rectifying an input signal to generate a first signal; a signal conversion unit inverting a waveform of a first signal to generate a second signal; and an operation unit arithmetically operating the first and second signals. A plurality of AC signals each having a different waveform are arithmetically operated to generate a signal having a small amount of a ripple component, and an LED is driven by the signal, thus preventing a lifespan of the LED from being shortened by omitting a smoothing electrolytic capacitor, one of main causes shortening the lifespan of an LED driving circuit.

There is provided an LED circuit including a light emitting unit including a plurality of light emitting diodes; and a switching unit switching to apply only positive voltage of an AC power supply to an anode of the light emitting unit. Through this, the LED circuit can reduce complexity of a driving circuit. Further, lifespan and efficiency of the LED circuit may be improved since an electrolytic capacitor and a bridge circuit are not used. Further, any one light emitting diode may be prevented from determining the lifespan of all of the light emitting diodes since all of the light emitting diodes are driven at all times, thereby improving the lifespan of the light emitting diode.
