Abstract:
A light emitting diode (LED) driving apparatus includes a DC-DC converter which provides a driving voltage to a plurality of LED arrays; a plurality of switching units, each of the switching units being connected in series to a corresponding LED array of the plurality of LED arrays and varying a size of a driving current to flow in the corresponding LED array of the plurality of LED arrays; and a control unit which, in order for each of the switching units to operate within a predetermined headroom voltage range, calculates a driving current of each of the plurality of LED arrays and a duty cycle of the switching units corresponding to each of the plurality of LED arrays, and controls the plurality of switching units based on the calculated driving current and the calculated duty cycle.
