Abstract:
1. A power saving circuit employing visual persistence effect for backlight modules to drive alternately a plurality of lighting units located on a backlight module, comprising: a time sequence generator to output a time sequence signal; a logic circuit to receive the time sequence signal from the time sequence generator and generate a plurality of alternate cyclic signals that contain a first condition time sequence and a second condition time sequence; and a plurality of driving units which have a duty mode and a power saving mode, each of the driving units receiving one alternate cyclic signal to drive one lighting unit and provide increased electric power for the lighting unit at a rear end at the duty mode in the first condition time sequence and provide zero or reduced electric power for the lighting unit at the rear end at the power saving mode in the second condition time sequence; thereby the lighting unit generating light in the first condition time sequence to allow user's eyes to get images, and power consumption of the driving unit in the second condition time sequence being reduced and the visual sense of the images in the user's eyes still being maintained due to visual persistence effect thereby to save electric power.
