Abstract:
Disclosed are an LED emitting device and driving method thereof. The LED emitting device controls an LED drive switch connected to a first end of an LED string to control an output current supplied to the LED string. The LED emitting device generates feedback information on the output voltage or the output current supplied to the LED string, and uses the output current to sense an open lamp state of the LED string. The LED emitting device uses a voltage at a first end of the LED drive switch to sense a change of the LED string to a normal state from the open lamp state.
