## Background
RELATED APPLICATIONS
This application claims priority to Taiwan Application Serial Number 101132758, filed Sep. 7, 2012, which is herein incorporated by reference.
BACKGROUND
1. Field of Invention
The present invention is directed to an electronic device. More particularly, the present invention is directed to a light-emitting device.
2. Description of Related Art
With advances in semi-conductor technology, light-emitting diodes have been widely used in our daily life because of having advantages like long lifetime, high switching speed, and small size.
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an operating waveform of a light-emitting diode in prior art. As shown in FIG. 1, an input voltage Vin is a rectified AC voltage. When the input voltage Vin is greater than a threshold voltage Vhv of the light-emitting diode, the light-emitting diode is turned on and emits light, and, when the input voltage Vin is smaller than the threshold voltage Vhv of the light-emitting diode, the light-emitting diode is turned off. The ON period is Ton and the OFF period is Toff. Every two ON periods Ton are spaced by one OFF period Toff, such that the light-emitting diode may flicker when the input voltage Vin varies and make people feel uncomfortable.
On the other hand, due to the limited light-emitting properties of the light-emitting diodes, a portion of the input voltage Vin is consumed on components other than LED (i.e., the region Z with slant lines) and thus this causes a low luminous efficiency of LED.

It will be apparent, however, that one or more embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are schematically shown in order to simplify the drawing.
One aspect of the invention is a light-emitting device has 2N−(minus) 1 driving stages, and the light-emitting device includes N light-emitting modules, in which N is an integer. In a Pth driving stage, if P is smaller than or equal to N, light-emitting modules from a 1st light-emitting module to a Nth light-emitting module are driven and emit light, while if P is greater than N, light-emitting modules from the 1st light-emitting module to a (2N−(minus)P)th light-emitting module are driven and emit light, in which P is also an integer.
For purpose of simplification and easy understanding, light-emitting devices is described as having fifth, seventh, ninth, and eleventh driving stages as examples in the following paragraphs. However, one application of the present invention can be a light-emitting device having multiple stages, and the present invention is not limited to the examples described in the following embodiments.
FIG. 2 is a light-emitting device 200 in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure. The light-emitting device 200 includes a power module 110, a first light-emitting module 120, a second light-emitting module 130, a third light-emitting module 140, and a control module 150. The power module 110 is configured for rectifying an AC voltage for providing a driving voltage Vinput, in which the driving voltage is periodic. The power module 110 is further configured for providing basic electrical protections, such as surge protection and fuse wires. The first light-emitting module 120, the second light-emitting module 130, and the third light-emitting module 140 are electrically connected to each other in series. The control module 150 is connected to the first light-emitting module 120, the second light-emitting module 130, and the third light-emitting module 140, for making the first light-emitting module 120, the second light-emitting module 130, and the third light-emitting module 140 be driven by the driving voltage Vinput in response to different driving stages in a cycle period of the driving voltage Vinput. The power module 110 and the control module 150 can be implemented by electrical circuits. The power module 110 includes an AC power supply and a rectifier. Each of the first light-emitting module 120, the second light-emitting module 130, and the third light-emitting module 140 include light-emitting diodes or light-emitting diode assemblies. There can be a plurality of different current paths passing through the light-emitting modules 120, 130, 140. Number of diode-junctions (e.g., P-N junctions) passed by the current paths can be different. Average number of the diode-junction passed by the current paths are defined as average-number-of-diode-junctions S1 of the light-emitting modules 120, average-number-of-diode-junctions S2 of the light-emitting modules 130, and average-number-of-diode-junctions S3 of the light-emitting modules 140. Values of total diode-junction-areas (e.g., P-N junction-areas) of the light-emitting modules 120, 130, 140 divided by the average-number-of-diode-junctions S1, S2, S3 of the light-emitting modules 120, 130, 140 are defined as average-diode-junction-areas A1, A2, A3 of the light-emitting modules 120, 130, 140. In one embodiment of the present invention, the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting device 200 can be improved by making the average-diode-junction-area A1 of the first light-emitting module 120 be different from the average-diode-junction-area A2 of the second light-emitting module 130 or the average-diode-junction-area A3 of the third light-emitting module 140. Details of such an embodiment would be described in later paragraphs.
In one embodiment, the control module 150 includes 3 switches electrically connected to nodes j, k, l. In a first driving stage, the control module 150 turn on the switch connected to the node j, such that the first light-emitting module 120 can be driven by the driving voltage Vinput, and the control module 150 provides a driving current (e.g., using a current mirror) passing through the first light-emitting module 120 and the node j. In a second driving stage, the control module 150 turns on the switch connected to the node k, such that the first light-emitting module 120 and the second light-emitting module 130 can be driven by the driving voltage Vinput, and the control module 150 provides another driving current passing through the first light-emitting module 120, the second light-emitting module 130, and the node j. In a third driving stage, the control module 150 turns on the switch connected to the node l, such that the first light-emitting module 120, the second light-emitting module 130, and the third light-emitting module 140 can be driven by the driving voltage Vinput, and the control module 150 provides still another driving current passing through the first light-emitting module 120, the second light-emitting module 130, the third light-emitting module 140, and the node k. It is noted that, the configuration abovementioned are just an example, and the present invention is not limited to the light-emitting device 200 described above.
Also referring to FIG. 3, in this embodiment, the light-emitting device 200 includes three light-emitting modules 120, 130, 140, and the light-emitting device 200 has 5 driving stages. In the first driving stage (i.e., period T1), the control module 150 makes the first light-emitting module 120 be driven by the driving voltage Vinput, and a cross voltage Vij is present across two ends (i.e., the nodes i, j) of the first light-emitting module 120. In the second driving stage (i.e., period T2), the control module 150 makes the first light-emitting module 120 and the second light-emitting module 130 be driven by the driving voltage Vinput, and a cross voltage Vik is present across two ends (i.e., the nodes i, k) of the first light-emitting module 120 and the second light-emitting module 130. In the third driving stage (i.e., period T3), the control module 150 makes the first light-emitting module 120, the second light-emitting module 130, and the third light-emitting module 140 be driven by the driving voltage Vinput, and a cross voltage Vil is present across two ends (i.e., the nodes i, l) of the first light-emitting module 120, the second light-emitting module 130, and the third light-emitting module 140. In a fourth driving stage (i.e., period T4), the control module 150 makes the first light-emitting module 120 and the second light-emitting module 130 be driven by the driving voltage Vinput, and a cross voltage Vik is present across two ends (i.e., the nodes i, k) of the first light-emitting module 120 and the second light-emitting module 130. In a fifth driving stage (i.e., period T5), the control module 150 makes the first light-emitting module 120 be driven by the driving voltage Vinput, and a cross voltage Vij is present across two ends (i.e., the nodes i, j) of the first light-emitting module 120.
By such a way that separately driving the first light-emitting module 120, the second light-emitting module 130, and the third light-emitting module 140 in different driving stages, the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting device 200 can be improved.
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 3, the first light-emitting module 120 is driven from period T1 to period T5, longer than the period (i.e., from period T2 to period T4) the second light-emitting module 130 being driven and the period (i.e., periods T3) the third light-emitting module 140 being driven. Therefore, in design, if light-emitting area (P-N junction-area) of the first light-emitting module 120 is greater than light-emitting area of the second light-emitting module 130 and the light-emitting area of the third light-emitting module 140, for example, the first light-emitting module 120 has more light-emitting diodes then the second light-emitting module 130 and the third light-emitting module 140 have, the average time of the light-emitting diodes in the light-emitting device 200 being driven would be longer.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the first light-emitting module 120 includes a plurality of light-emitting unit assemblies D11, D12, D13, and D14 electrically connected in parallel, in which each of the light-emitting unit assemblies D11-D14 includes a plurality of light-emitting units electrically connected in series. The second light-emitting module 130 includes a plurality of light-emitting unit assemblies D21, D22, and D23, electrically connected in parallel, in which each of the light-emitting unit assemblies D21-D23 include one light-emitting unit. The third light-emitting module 140 includes a plurality of light-emitting unit assemblies D31 and D32, electrically connected in parallel, in which each of the light-emitting unit assemblies D31 and D32 includes one light-emitting unit.
For example, in the above configuration, the first light-emitting module 120 includes 12 light-emitting units, the second light-emitting module 130 includes 3 light-emitting units, and the third light-emitting module 140 includes 2 light-emitting units. In such a configuration, due to the fact that a great part of the light-emitting units are disposed in the first light-emitting module 120 which have longer driving time, the average driving time of the light-emitting units in the light-emitting device 200 can be longer.
Furthermore, the light-emitting area of the first light-emitting module 120 can be increased by increasing the number of the light-emitting unit assemblies (such as D11-D14) connected in parallel (i.e., increasing the average-diode-junction-area A1) and by increasing the number of the light-emitting units connected in series in each of the light-emitting unit assemblies D11-D14 (i.e., increasing the average-number-of-diode-junctions S1).
As mentioned above, the average number of the diode-junction passed by the current paths are defined as average-number-of-diode-junctions S1 of the light-emitting module 120. For example, in this embodiment, if each of the light-emitting units in the light-emitting modules 120, 130, 140 includes one light-emitting diode, and the diode-junction-areas (e.g., P-N junction-areas) of these light-emitting diodes are the same, then the total number of the diode-junctions of the first light-emitting module 120 is equal to the total number of the light-emitting units in the first light-emitting module 120, that is, 12. In addition, there are 4 current paths passing through the first light-emitting module 120, (i.e., respectively passing through the light-emitting unit assemblies D11-D14). Thus, the average-number-of-diode-junction S1 of the first light-emitting module 120, which is the average number of the diode-junctions in each of the current paths, is 12/4=3. Similarly, the average-number-of-diode-junctions S2 of the second light-emitting module 130 is 3/3=1, and the average-number-of-diode-junctions S3 of the third light-emitting module 140 is 2/2=1.
Furthermore, as mentioned above, the value of the total diode-junction-area of the first light-emitting modules 120 divided by the average-number-of-diode-junction S1 of the light-emitting module 120 are defined as the average-diode-junction-area A1 of the first light-emitting modules 120. For example, in this embodiment, if each of the light-emitting units in the light-emitting modules 120, 130, 140 includes one light-emitting diode, and each of the diode-junction-areas of the light-emitting diodes is A, then the total diode-junction-area of the first light-emitting module 120 is 12 A. Due to the average-number-of-diode-junctions S1 of the first light-emitting module 120 is 3, the average-diode-junction-area A1 of the first light-emitting module 120, which is the value of the total diode-junction-area of the first light-emitting module 120 divided by the average-number-of-diode-junction S1 of the first light-emitting module 120, is 12 A/3=4 A. Similarly, the average-diode-junction-area A2 of the second light-emitting module 130 is 3 A/1=3 A, and the average-diode-junction-area A3 of the third light-emitting module 140 is 2 A/1=2 A.
In the abovementioned embodiment, the average-diode-junction-area A1 of the first light-emitting module 120 is different from the average-diode-junction-area A2 of the second light-emitting module 130 and the average-diode-junction-area A3 of the third light-emitting module 140.

It is noted that, in another embodiment, each of the light-emitting units can be a package having a plurality of light-emitting diodes electrically connected in series. For example, each of the light-emitting units can have 6 light-emitting diodes electrically connected in series, and in such a case, S1=18, S2=6, S3=6. In addition, in still another embodiment, the light-emitting unit assembly D11 can have 4 light-emitting diodes electrically connected in series, the light-emitting unit assembly D12 can have 2 light-emitting diodes electrically connected in series, and both of the light-emitting assembles D13, D14 can have 3 light-emitting diodes electrically connected in series. In such a case, S1 still is 3, S2 still is 2, S3 still is 1 and the light-emitting unit assembly D12 can be driven before than the light-emitting assembles D13, D14 be. Furthermore, in some embodiment of the present invention, each of the light-emitting modules 120, 130, 140 can be constructed with complex light-emitting circuit assembly, in which the light-emitting diodes are electrically connected in series and parallel. For example, one of the light-emitting modules 120, 130, 140 can have 2 light-emitting unit assemblies connected in series, one of which contains 2 series of light-emitting diodes electrically connected in parallel to each other, and each series of light-emitting diodes contains 3 light-emitting diodes electrically connected in series. Another one of the 2 light-emitting assembles can contain 3 series of light-emitting diodes electrically connected in parallel to each other, and each series of light-emitting diodes contains 2 light-emitting diodes electrically connected in series. However, it should be noted that, the types of the light-emitting modules 120, 130, 140 is not limited to any example mentioned above.
In addition, excepting from adjusting the average-diode-junction-areas A1, A2, A3 of the light-emitting modules 120, 130, 140 by adjusting number of the light-emitting unit assemblies (e.g., D11-D14) electrically connecting in parallel in the light-emitting modules 120, 130, 140, the average-diode-junction-areas A1, A2, A3 of the light-emitting modules 120, 130, 140 can also be adjusted by adjusting the diode-junction-areas of the light-emitting diodes of the light-emitting units in manufacturing process, so as to improve the luminous efficiency of the light-emitting device 200. FIG. 4 is a light-emitting device 400 in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure. In this embodiment, the light-emitting device 400 is substantially similar to the light-emitting device 200, except from that the light-emitting device 400 further includes a fourth light-emitting module 160, and the light-emitting device 400 has 7 driving stages.
In the first driving stage, the first light-emitting module 120 is driven by the driving voltage Vinput, and a driving current flows in the first light-emitting module 120 from a node i and flows out from a path SW1. In the second driving stage, the first light-emitting module 120 and the second light-emitting module 130 are driven by driving voltage Vinput, and another driving current flows in the first light-emitting module 120 and second light-emitting module 130 from the node i and flows out from a path SW2. In the third driving stage, the first light-emitting module 120, the second light-emitting module 130, and the third light-emitting module 140 are driven by driving voltage Vinput, and still another driving current flows in the first light-emitting module 120, the second light-emitting module 130, and the third light-emitting module 140 from the node i and flows out from a path SW3. In the fourth driving stage, the first light-emitting module 120, the second light-emitting module 130, the third light-emitting module 140, and the fourth light-emitting module 160 are driven by driving voltage Vinput, and still another driving current flows in the first light-emitting module 120, the second light-emitting module 130, the third light-emitting module 140, and the fourth light-emitting module 160 from the node i and flows out from a path SW4. The fifth driving stage, the sixth driving stage, and the seven driving stage are similar to the third driving stage, the second driving stage, and the first driving stage respectively, and thus, these driving stages would not be repeated herein.
In this embodiment, the first light-emitting module 120 includes a first light-emitting unit 122. The first light-emitting unit 122 is a packet containing light-emitting diodes electrically connected in series. Each of the diode-junction-areas of the light-emitting diodes in the first light-emitting unit 122 is 5 A. The second light-emitting module 130 includes a second light-emitting unit 132.

The fourth light-emitting unit 162 is a packet containing 6 light-emitting diodes electrically connected in series. Each of the diode-junction-areas of the light-emitting diodes in the fourth light-emitting unit 162 is 2 A.
In this embodiment, based on the definitions above, the total number of diode-junction of the first light-emitting module 120 is 24, and the number of current path passing through the first light-emitting module 120 is 1, and therefore, the average-number-of-diode-junction S1 of the first light-emitting module 120 is 24. Similarly, the average-number-of-diode-junction S2 of the second light-emitting module 130 is 8, the average-number-of-diode-junction S3 of the third light-emitting module 140 is 7, and the average-number-of-diode-junction S4 of the fourth light-emitting module 160 is 6. In addition, the total diode-junction-area of the first light-emitting module 120 is 24×5 A=120 A, and the average-number-of-diode-junction S1 of the first light-emitting module 120 is 24 and therefore, the average junction area A1 of the first light-emitting module 120 is 120 A/24=5 A. Similarly, the average junction area A2 of the second light-emitting module 130 is 4 A, the average junction area A3 of the third light-emitting module 140 is 3 A, and the average junction area A4 of the fourth light-emitting module 160 is 2 A.

For purpose of simplification and easy understanding, light-emitting devices is described as having fifth driving stages as example in the following paragraphs. However, one application of the present invention can be a light-emitting device having 3 stages, and the present invention is not limited to the light-emitting device described in the following embodiments.
FIG. 8 is a light-emitting device 800 in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure. The light-emitting device 800 includes a power module 210, a first light-emitting module 220, a second light-emitting module 230, a third light-emitting module 240, and a control module 250. The light-emitting device 800 is substantially similar to the light-emitting device 200 in FIG. 2, and thus, the following paragraphs would just describe different parts between these two light-emitting devices.
Also referring to FIG. 9, in this embodiment, the light-emitting device 800 includes 3 light-emitting modules, and has 5 driving stages. In a first driving stage (i.e., period T1), the control module 250 makes the first light-emitting module 220 being driven by the driving voltage Vinput, and provides a first driving current I1 to the first light-emitting module. A first cross voltage V1 is present across the first light-emitting module 220. In a second driving stage (i.e., period T2), the control module 250 makes the first light-emitting module 220 and the second light-emitting module 230 being driven by the driving voltage Vinput, and provides a second driving current I2 to the first light-emitting module and the second light-emitting module 230. A second cross voltage V2 is present across the first light-emitting module 220 and the second light-emitting module 230. In a third driving stage (i.e., period T3), the control module 250 makes the first light-emitting module 220, the second light-emitting module 230, and the third light-emitting module 240 being driven by the driving voltage Vinput, and provides a third driving current I3 to the first light-emitting module 220, the second light-emitting module 230, and the third light-emitting module 240. A third cross voltage V3 is present across the first light-emitting module 220, the second light-emitting module 230, and the third light-emitting module 240. In a fourth driving stage (i.e., period T4), the control module 250 makes the first light-emitting module 220 and the second light-emitting module 230 being driven by the driving voltage Vinput, and provides a fourth driving current I4 to the first light-emitting module and the second light-emitting module 230. A fourth cross voltage V4 is present across the first light-emitting module 220 and the second light-emitting module 230. In a fifth driving stage (i.e., period T5), the control module 250 makes the first light-emitting module 220 being driven by the driving voltage Vinput, and provides a fifth driving current I5 to the first light-emitting module. A fifth cross voltage V5 is present across the first light-emitting module 220.
In the operation above, the control module 250 can make the light-emitting modules 220, 230, 240 emit light evenly by manipulating the driving currents I1-I5 in the driving stages. More specifically, the control module 250 can make a difference between the product of the first driving current I1 and the first driving voltage V1 (that is, I1×V1), the product of the second driving current I2 and the second driving voltage V2 (that is, I2×V2), the product of the third driving current I3 and the third driving voltage V3 (that is, I3×V3), the product of the fourth driving current I4 and the fourth driving voltage V4 (that is, I4×V4), and the product of the fifth driving current I5 and the fifth driving voltage V5 (that is, I5×V5) be smaller than a predetermined threshold. In such a manner, luminous fluxes of the light-emitting modules 220, 230, 240 in the first to fifth driving stages are substantially the same (i.e., the differences of which are smaller than a predetermined ratio), and thus the flickering of the light-emitting device 800 can be reduced.
In addition, it should be understand that, an configuration of a light-emitting device including two light-emitting modules and 3 driving stages can be deduced by the embodiment described above, in which the first driving stage is the same as the first driving stage of the above embodiment, the second driving stage is the same as the second driving stage of the above embodiment, and the third driving stage is the same as the fifth driving stage of the above embodiment.
In addition, one skilled in the art can understand that the control module 250 can be implemented by a circuit assembly, which containing basic components such as comparators, adders, subtractors, controlling and protecting circuits, feedback circuits, amplifying circuits, current mirrors, switches, and so on. The switches are operative to separately be turned on in different driving stages, so as to make the light-emitting module 220, 230, 240 be driven by the driving voltage Vinput separately. The current mirrors are operative to provide the driving currents I1, I2, I3 to the light-emitting module 220, 230, 240. It should be noted that the embodiment described above is just an example, and the invention is not limited to the configuration in the above embodiment.
It should be noted that, based on the embodiment above, a light-emitting device having two light-emitting modules, which are the first light-emitting module 220 and the second light-emitting module 230 above mentioned, can be derived. Such a light-emitting device has 3 driving stages, in which the first and second stages of this light-emitting device are identical to the first and second stages of the light-emitting device 800 in the previous embodiment, and the third stage of this light-emitting device is identical to the fifth stage of the light-emitting device 800 in the previous embodiment.
In one embodiment, a difference Diff between a maximum and a minimum among the product of the first cross voltage V1 and the first driving current I1, the product of the second cross voltage V2 and the second driving current I2, the product of the third cross voltage V3 and the third driving current I3, the product of the fourth cross voltage V4 and the fourth driving current I4, and the product of the fifth cross voltage V5 and the fifth driving current I5 is a first value. A summation Sum of the maximum and the minimum among the product of the first cross voltage V1 and the first driving current I1, the product of the second cross voltage V2 and the second driving current I2, the product of the third cross voltage V3 and the third driving current I3, the product of the fourth cross voltage V4 and the fourth driving current I4, and the product of the fifth cross voltage V5 and the fifth driving current I5 is a second value. When a value of the difference Diff divided by the summation Sum is controlled to be smaller than 24%, that is, [MAX(I1×V1, I2×V2, I3×V3, I4×V4, I5×V5)−min(I1×V1, I2×V2, I3×V3, I4×V4, I5×V5)]/[MAX(I1×V1, I2×V2, I3×V3, I4×V4, I5×V5)+min(I1×V1, I2×V2, I3×V3, I4×V4, I5×V5)]<24%, then the flickering of the light-emitting device 800 can be not easily visually perceivable.
In one embodiment of the present invention, the light-emitting device 800 includes a power storage module 260. The power storage module 260 is electrically connected to the first light-emitting module 220. The power storage module 260 is charged or discharged corresponding to the driving voltage, and is configured to selectively drive the first light-emitting module 220. For example, the power storage module 260 can be a capacitor. When the first light-emitting module 220 is driven by the driving voltage Vinput provided by the power module 210, the power storage module 260 is charged, and when the driving voltage Vinput provided by the power module 210 is not sufficient to drive the first light-emitting module 220, the power storage module 260 is discharged, so as to replace the power module 210 to drive the first light-emitting module 220. In such a configuration, the power module 210 and the power storage module 260 can drive the first light-emitting module 220 alternatively, such that the first light-emitting module 220 can emit light constantly. As a result, the flickering of the light-emitting device 800 can be eliminated.
Moreover, in this embodiment, the charging speed of the power storage module 260 can be increased by making the first driving current I1 be greater than the fifth driving current I5, and/or by making the second driving current I2 be greater than the fourth driving current I4. In one embodiment, the first driving current I1 is greater than or equal to 0.9 times the fifth driving current I5, and/or the second driving current I2 is greater than or equal to 0.9 time the fourth driving current I4, such that the charging speed of the power storage module 260 can be increased. It should be noted that, although a capacitor electrically connected to the first light-emitting module 220 in parallel is taken as an example, but one skilled in the art should understand that the power storage module 260 can also be implemented by an inductor, and electrically connected to the first light-emitting module 220 in series, and the invention is not limited to the embodiment above.
FIG. 10 is a light-emitting device 1000 in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure. The light-emitting device 1000 is substantially similar to the light-emitting device 800 in FIG. 8. Thus, the following paragraphs would just describe the different parts between the two light-emitting devices. In this embodiment, the light-emitting device 1000 includes a plurality of power storage modules 270. The first light-emitting module 220 includes a plurality of light-emitting units D. These light-emitting units D are connected to each other. The power storage modules 270 are selectively connected to the light-emitting units D in series or in parallel separately, and be charged or discharged correspond to the driving voltage Vinput. Similar to the previous embodiment, the power storage modules 270 can be used to replace the power module 210 to drive the first light-emitting units D when the driving voltage Vinput provided by the power module 210 is not sufficient to drive the first light-emitting units D. In such a configuration, the voltage withstand capacity of the power storage modules 270 is smaller than the power storage module 260, and that is, in this embodiment, capacitors with capacitances smaller than the capacitance of the capacitor serving as the power storage module 260 in the light-emitting device 800 can be used to realize the power storage modules 270.
It should be noted that, although the power storage modules 260, 270 are electrically connected in parallel to the first light-emitting module 220 in the embodiment above, the power storage modules 260, 270 can also be electrically connected in parallel to the second light-emitting module 230 and/or the third light-emitting module 240, so as to reduce the flickering of the light-emitting device, and the invention is not limited to the embodiment above.
FIG. 11 is a light-emitting device 1100 in accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure. The light-emitting device 1100 is substantially similar to the light-emitting device 1000 in FIG. 10. Thus, the following paragraphs would just describe the different parts between the two light-emitting devices. In this embodiment, the light-emitting device 1100 includes a power storage module 272 connected to the second light-emitting module 230. The power storage module 272 is configured to be charged and discharged corresponding to the driving voltage Vinput, and to selectively drive the second light-emitting module 230. In addition, the light-emitting device 1100 includes an anti-backflow module 280. The anti-backflow module 280 is electrically connected between the first light-emitting module 220 and the second light-emitting module 230. One end of the anti-backflow module 280 is electrically connected to the first light-emitting module 220, and another end of the anti-backflow module 280 is electrically connected to second light-emitting module 230. The anti-backflow module 280 can be used to prevent that a backward current outputted from the power storage module 272 flows in the control module 250, so as to reduce the negative effect to the control module 250 caused by the power storage module 272. In one embodiment, the anti-backflow module 280 can be a diode (e.g., a light-emitting diode or a common diode). In addition, it is noted that, for preventing the backward current flows in the control module 250, the anti-backflow module 280 can be disposed between the first and the second light-emitting modules 220, 230, and/or the second and the third light-emitting modules 230, 240, and the disposition is not limited to the one in the abovementioned embodiment.

As illustrated in the waveform W1, when there is no power storage component connected to the light-emitting modules, every two ON periods are spaced by one OFF period, and the light-emitting device is accordingly flicker. On the other hand, as illustrated in the waveform W2, when there is one or more power storage component connected to the light-emitting modules, the driving current can accordingly be continuous, and the flickering problem of the light-emitting device can therefore be solved.
It should be noted that, although all of the light-emitting devices in the embodiment above have 5 driving stages and include 3 light-emitting modules, one skilled in the art should understand that, without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention, there can be an application of the invention in which a light-emitting device has 3 driving stages and include 2 light-emitting modules, or an application in which a light-emitting device has multiple driving stages and include multiple light-emitting modules
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made to the structure of the present invention without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention. In view of the foregoing, it is intended that the present invention cover modifications and variations of this invention provided they fall within the scope of the following claims.
