Design of an RGB LED Backlight Circuit for Liquid Crystal Display Panels

Abstract

This paper presents a red, green, and blue (RGB) light-emitting diode (LED) backlight circuit for liquid crystal display (LCD) panels. Some studies have been conducted to devise dimming methods that regulate the RGB LED currents. In this paper, design considerations for the RGB LED backlight are presented. A laboratory prototype for 20-in panels is implemented and tested. The color gamut of an LCD panel with the designed RGB LED backlight is measured and discussed. The experimental results of the laboratory prototype are also shown to verify feasibility of the findings.
