Abstract:
1. An LED electronic sign board capable of power-saving per pixel line, comprising: an LED display panel comprising a plurality of LED modules arranged in a matrix to form a screen, wherein each LED module includes a predetermined number of LEDs; a panel driver comprising a plurality of module drivers to drive the LED modules, respectively, wherein each module driver corresponds to each LED module to display an image on each LED module; a switching mode power supply that receives AC power, generates driving power required to operate the LED display panel and the panel driver and supplies power to the LED display panel and the panel driver; a black line extractor that analyses an image signal which will be displayed on the LED display panel and extracts pixel lines which becomes black per LED module; and a main controller that controls the panel driver to display an image on the LED display panel according to the image signal, and that controls a switching signal for the operation of the switching mode power supply to shut off driving power that is supplied to the pixel lines extracted by the black line extractor from the switching mode power supply, wherein the switching mode power supply comprises a plurality of individual SMPS units that supplies driving power to at least one of the plurality of LED modules and at least one of the plurality of module drivers, respectively; wherein each individual SMPS unit comprises a plurality of line power supply units that supplies driving power to each pixel line of the LED module per pixel line; wherein each line power supply unit comprises an input rectifier circuit that rectifies AC power, a switching circuit that switches the power rectified by the input rectifier circuit and generates a square wave, a output rectifier circuit that receives and rectifies the square wave from the switching circuit and generates driving power, and a switching controller that controls switching operation of the switching circuit; and wherein the main controller controls the switching controller to stop the output of the square wave of the switching circuit by controlling a switching signal of the switching controller, whereby driving power which is supplied to the pixel line extracted by the black line extractor being shut off.
