## Background
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present disclosure relates to LED backlight driving circuit technology, and more particularly to a LED backlight driving circuit capable of quick rebooting without resulting in flashing, and the liquid crystal device (LCD) with the same.
2. Discussion of the Related Art
With the technology revolution, backlight technology of LCDs has been developed. Typical LCDs adopt cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) as the backlight sources. However, as the CCFL backlight is characterized by attributes including low color reduction ability, low lighting efficiency, high discharging voltage, bad discharging characteristics in low temperature, and also, the CCFL needs a long time to achieve a stable gray scale, LED backlight source is a newly developed technology. For LCDs, the LED backlight source is arranged opposite to the liquid crystal panel so as to provide the light source to the liquid crystal panel. The LED backlight source includes at least one LED string, and each LED string includes a plurality of LEDs serially connected.
Generally, an output capacitor is arranged within the power supplying module of the driving circuit of the LED backlight source. During a quick reboot process, as charges are stored on the capacitor, the driving circuit may flash upon rebooting. FIG. 1 is a connecting module diagram of a typical LED backlight driving circuit having a discharging module.
As shown in FIG. 1, the LED backlight source driving circuit includes a boost circuit 110, a LED unit 120, and a driving IC 130. The boost circuit 110 is controlled by the driving IC 130 to convert the input voltage (Vin) to a needed output voltage (Vout) for the LED unit 120. In order to solve the flashing issue during the quick reboot process, the output end of the boost circuit 110 connects to one discharging module 140 for releasing the charges stored within the boost circuit 110 after the driving circuit is turned off. For this kind of circuit, when the time gap between the quick reboot process is small, the charges stored within the boost circuit 110 may have not been totally released, which may result in flashing after the driving circuit is rebooted.

is larger than the switch voltage (V1) in the initial discharging process. The second MOS transistor (Q2) is turned on and charges the second capacitor (C2).

In step (c), when the driving circuit is quickly rebooted, the turn-on voltage (VT) are at high level. At this moment, if the first capacitor (C1) has not been totally discharged, the output voltage (Vout) is still larger than or equal to the reference voltage and the voltage at two ends of the second capacitor (C2) is larger than the switch voltage (V1) of the second MOS transistor (Q2). The second MOS transistor (Q2) is turned on, and the source of the second MOS transistor (Q2) are at low level. That is, the enable signals (BLON) at low level is outputted to stop the operations of the driving IC 130, and the LED backlight driving circuit is not turned on. If the first capacitor (C1) of the boost circuit 110 discharges and causes the output voltage (Vout) be smaller than the reference voltage, which means the flashing is avoided, the voltage at two ends of the second capacitor (C2) is smaller than the switch voltage (V1) of the second MOS transistor (Q2). The second MOS transistor (Q2) is turned off, and the source of the second MOS transistor (Q2) are at high level. That is, the enable signals (BLON) at high level is outputted and the driving IC 130 begins its operations such that the LED backlight driving circuit is turned on. At this moment, the third MOS transistor (Q3) is turned on and the fourth MOS transistor (Q4) is turned off. The detecting module 150 is unable to detect the voltage at the output ends of the boost circuit 110 and then enters the state of the step (a).
By changing the resistance of the third resistor (R3) and the fourth resistor (R4), the reference voltage is adjusted. Thus, in some embodiments, the third resistor (R3) and the fourth resistor (R4) may be variable resistors.
In view of the above, the output end of the boost circuit connects to the detecting module. When the driving circuit reboots after being turned off, the detecting module is capable of detecting the discharging state of the boost circuit. When the output voltage is smaller than the predetermined voltage for the reason that the charges stored within the boost circuit is released, the driving circuit can be turn on. As such, the driving circuit is prevented from flashing in the quick reboot process.
