Abstract

See full text

A light-emitting diode (LED) driver apparatus is provided. The LED driver apparatus includes a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal generating unit, a DC-DC converter, and a comparison voltage generating unit. The PWM signal generating unit generates a PWM signal according to a comparison voltage. The DC-DC converter supplies a driving voltage of an LED array by using the PWM signal. The comparison voltage generating unit measures a feedback voltage of the LED array and supplies a difference between the measured feedback voltage and a target voltage as a comparison voltage to the PWM signal generating unit. The comparison voltage generating unit supplies a second reference voltage as a comparison voltage to the PWM signal generating unit from a time when the driving voltage is higher than or equal to a first reference voltage to a time when the driving voltage reaches the target voltage.
