Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides LED backlight source of liquid crystal display device. The LED backlight source includes: a boost converter, boosting input DC voltage and outputting boosted DC voltage; a plurality of LED strings connected in parallel, with each LED string including a plurality of LEDs in series and receiving boosted DC voltage from boost converter; a plurality of constant-current drivers, controlling current of each LED string, each constant-current driver controlling at least an LED string and first constant-current driver controlling connection/disconnection of boost converter; an under-voltage protection control circuit, outputting under-voltage protection voltage to constant-current drivers and constant-current drivers determining whether to stop operating based on received under-voltage protection voltage, wherein under-voltage protection voltage outputted to first constant-current driver less than under-voltage protection voltages outputted to other constant-current drivers. The LED backlight source can turn on and off LED strings simultaneously to improve the optical quality.
