Three-color LED driving design applications typically by adjusting current to reach the balance and maximum brightness values。In general,we using most easiest and optimal way to design the full color display technology。White balance is most single for check the combination of color。The three primary colors are red and green and blue , the three primary colors are mixed according to brightness proportion。blending after human eyes feel is pure white. Earlier CRT TV to the now LCD liquid crystal display are so constituted, LED course will mature technology copying.Chromaticity coordinates LED red, green, blue is unable to achieve the full effect of the chromatogram due to process and other reasons, and the control of the primary colors including a deviation of the brightness to achieve the white light, called the match color. When performing full-color LED display before,in order to achieve optimum brightness and the lowest cost, you should try to choose RGB luminous intensity of roughly 3: 6: 1 ratio of LED devices composed of pixels balance requires the synthesis of the three primary colors in the allocation value synthesis ,it is remains the same for pure white.merely a LED is very difficult to achieve, in order to solve this problem, in general, IC will set the current size, convenient for different batches of LED can be to achieve the same white light effectWe have synthesized color called original color; Application of the red, green, and blue color is primary called, three vertices is an ideal primary color wavelength in the chromaticity diagram。if there are deviations, the color synthesized area will be reduced, the triangle will shrink in the spectral table,from a visual point of view, the color deviation will not only reduce, as shown below.LED emitted Red, green, purple and blue light according to their different wavelength characteristics ,can be roughly divide into pure red, orange, orange, orange, yellow, green, pure green, green, blue-green, blue, violet, etc., orange , green, blue and purple , pure red, pure green, pure blue price is very cheap . Three primary colors of green is most important, because the green occupy 69% brightness white and color at the center of the transverse row of the table. Therefore when the relationship between the color of purity and price trade-offs between, green is the object of important consideration.

1, low voltage led products, large power controller
In general the design voltage of low voltage products as 12V-36V, the quantity for each loop of 3-6 in series . LED current limiting with the current limiting resistors, each loop current below 20mA . A LED products has a lot LED loop to composing. Advantage is low voltage, construction is simply , easy to design ; the shortcoming is: the current large when product size big, low voltage switching power supply need install. due to the limit of products disadvantage. The Low voltage con’t long-distance transmission. are confined to a small volume products, such as: text of signboard , small text pattern. According to the features, specification of product design: 12V choice of 75A/30V MOS to control, output current as 8A/channel; 24-32V choice of 60A/50V MOS to control, output current as 5A/chanle; Users can select the channel quantity of led controller, according to the above specifications, Note that the LED must be a common positive(+) pole connecting method, controller is common negative(-)pole, controller is not include low voltage source.

3, High voltage LED controller
The high voltage led controller is alternating voltage(AC). Echo circuit loop has 36-48 in series of LED, and echo current of circuit loop is 20mA below. There are has two kinds of current limiting mode, one is the resistor limiting current. The resistance power consumption is large in this mode, suggestion that echo of four resistors are connected in series with a 1/4W metal mold resistor. Uniform distribution of heat, this mode is most stable and reliable in currently. Other mode is the capacitance connected in resistance to limiting current. A lot of voltage drop across the capacitor at the connecting method. Resistance power is small. But it just only runs in stable of supply power. The capacitor energy is storage when the supply power is unsteadiness.Thereby LED easily damaged. Any used the controller to control the led with resistance limiting current is necessarily. Echo loop of led has one meter, and power 5W,three-color per meter 15W.
finally: attention should be paid to load matching! The light distribution of neon and LED’s are not the same, the same circuit can not be mixed with different types of load.
Music LED Lighting Controllers a work in progress
1,Design of Music LED Lighting Controllers
1.1,Theory of music lights rhythm display system
1.1.1,require analytics
When Design of a system, first know that the market demand, to ensure that do such a system is necessary ,second to determine the status of current market and the most recent scientific research to ensure the system of their own design is practical and advanced.
1.1.2 the analytics of system function
First we should be know the purpose and useful for any system. the music light display system is external lights along with music beat to display. For the application of systems is divided into three parts: input parts, mcu part and output part.Input parts refers to the music from the external input to the MCU process. MCU processing refers to deal with the input data with MCU, and for the output display part provides the necessary data and display the required basis. Output part refers to external lights along with music to flash. The designer can be decision of flash way of lights, the flash way has dynamic or static, or color or monochrome. We will talk about the concrete design of the three part:
1.1.3 Design of input part
Because of MCU just only deal with the disperse digital signal, but in real life is more analog signal especially music signal range as 200Hz to 15KHz, which is the practicality of the system to table a proposal and requests. To achieve of disperse of analog for input data. This is to be an easy job to the modulus is more and more mature conversion technology. That is to say we must through the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) converts the input music analog signal to digital, and then into the microcontroller.
1.1.4 MCU process
Input to MCU data stored in the microcontroller’s data store(MCU data memory). Because of display part ask the light flash along with music beat. But the music belongs to the audio signal. corresponding to the beat of the music and audio signal frequency, so in order to achieve unity displayed with the beat, it is necessary to discrete digital signal , digital signal processing technology and audio signal frequency is currently the most commonly used is the discrete Fourier transform(DFT).
1.1.5 output display part
Design idea is relatively simply and straightforward for output display part. which is easy to implement. Consider to the frequency range of the actual music signal is 200Hz ~ 15KHz,Through the A / D converter after, sampling the analog frequency will correspond to the digital frequency K value , i.e., a certain range of values K (where K the maximum value is carried out by DFT points). This system is realized by using different colors of the diode consists of a 5 x 7 dot matrix. With 7 diodes of different colors to represent different frequency, which the digital frequency value of K is divided into 7 equal parts, each segment of K value with diode represents a color. Each color diodes have 5 used to represent the amplitude, the amplitude is divided into 5 sections to achieve different. Because the signal amplitude of the MCU 5V maximum, when the range of 0 ~ 1V, the corresponding frequency diode light one; is 1 ~ 2V, bright two diodes; for 2 ~ 3V, bright three diodes; for 3 ~ 4V, bright four diodes; 4 ~ 5V, bright five diodes.
The above is a general idea of the topic(LED contrller),
COB LED product process
Chip On Board, COB
process is First using a thermal conductivity covering the wafer placed on surface of substrate (usually with the epoxy resin mixed with silver particles). Then the silicon wafer directly placed on the surface of the substrate, a silicon wafer is firmly fixed to the base with heat treatmen Final, create a electrization connection between the surface of substrate and silicon wafer with way of wire welding. Bare chip technology mainly has two forms: one is the COB technology, the other is the flip chip technology (Flip Chip).The board chip packaging (COB), a semiconductor chip connection mounted on the circuit print board, electrical connects in surface of substrate and chip whit suture method for lead. covered with resin to ensure reliability. Although COB is the most simple chip mounting technology, but the packaging desity if not as good as than TAB and a welding technology.
COB mainly welding method: (1) hot pressure welding
The metal wire and the welding pressure welding together by heat and pressure. Its principle is to add pressure and add heating, makes the welding zone to produce plastic deformation and destroy the oxidation layer of pressure welding on the interface,so that the inter atomic appeal to “bond” purposes, in addition, two metal uneven interface to add heating and add pressure can make mutually embedded compression and incrustation for the the top and bottom metal.This technique is generally used for chip on glass plate COG.
(2) for ultrasonic welding
Ultrasonic welding can be generated energy by ultrasonic generator,through the transducer in the ultra high frequency magnetic field induction,rapid expansion to generate elastic vibration, make a corresponding vibration for the chopper, driven the AI metal layer as the pad (AI film) rapid surface friction. Then the AI wire and AI membrane surface of the plastic deformation, the deformation and failure of the oxide layer, make the two pure metal surface in close contact to interatomic bonding, and come into being wedge. The main welding material for aluminum wire bonding.
(3) wire welding
Ball welding technology is the most representative welding technology in wire bonding. Because the semiconductor packaging and triode package use wire ball bonding welding. And it is convenient in operation, flexible, solid solid solder joint(AU wire diameter 25UM of weld strength is generally 0.07 ~ 0.09N / point) and no direction, the welding speed can be up to 15 point / sec. Wire bonding is also called thermal (pressure) sonic welding main bonding materials for gold (AU) wire welding, Having the shape of a sphere, also called the solder ball
The first step: expanding crystal。 Expansion machine will uniform expand the whole LED wafer thin film.the attachment of LED grains are closely arranged in a thin film on the surface opened, easy thorn crystal.
Step two: gum. The expansion of good crystal crystal ring put in gum machine(gum machine has been scraping silver layer), back silver paste. Point Silver. LED chip is suitable for bulk.(Dispenser)using the appropriate amount of silver paste on the PCB printed circuit board.
third step: the expanding ready Silver Crystal Ring crystal planes into the thorns,the operator used the microscope LED wafer crystal pen with barbed spines are on
The printed circuit board PCBunder the microscope the
fourth step: Put the thorn good crystal of PCB circuit print board into heat cycling constant temperature oven for a period of time. Wait for the silver slurry is solidified out(not for a long time, otherwise LED chip coating will be roasted yellow, oxidizing, difficult to bonding ). LED chip bonding is necessary above step, the IC chip bonding is not necessary above step.
fifth step: sticking chip. using the (Dispenser) place amount of Red glue on PCB the circuit print board IC position。Then put the IC into correct on red plastic or vinyl with anti-static devices (vacuum suction pen or sub).
The sixth step:drying. The good die stick need to constant temperature for a period of time on hot circulating oven big plane. Can also to naturally cure (but time is longer).
The seventh step: bonding(wire).connect of wire between the wafer (LED grain or IC chip) and PCB board corresponding to pad via aluminum wire bonder machine. This is wire of welding for COB.
eighth step: Pretest。 Using profession test tools(according to difference purpose to choice difference tools )to check out the COB board, will not be qualified to repair。
ninety step: dispensing。The dispenser will deploy a good amount of A B venue to the LED grain bonding, IC with black plastic package, then base on the require of customer will package.
tenth step: curing. The sealed plastic PCB printed circuit board placed in an oven heated to stand the heat cycle, the requirements can be set according to different drying times.
eleventh step: after the test. The packaged PCB printed circuit board with special tool for the detection of electrical performance test, to distinguish good or bad. compare of other technology of package, The COB technology price is low cost(just only for the same chip about 1/3), space saving, technology maturity However, any new technology can not be perfect at first appear,
The main difference between HID and halogen lamps
The main difference between HID and halogen lamps is,
Light by gas ionization luminescence for the former. Light through heated tungsten filament for the latter. Although they are same between the luminous arc xenon lamp and halogen lamp filament length, but the brightness luminous efficiency is improvement of three times for the HID. It’s haven’t use the filament, not the traditional lamp is ease to fracture. So service time up to 10 times. according to the text, a 35W HID light source can make a 55W halogen lamp 3 times light luminous. The service time as much as car lamp. So using halogen lamp can be save-energy. is represent the general trend that HID to replace halog lamp.
Comparison of HID gas discharge lamp and halogen bulb
Type The bulb wattage Color Service
—— lumen (W) Luminous temperature (K) time(HR)
HID 35 3200 6000 2500
H4 55 1000 3000 300
9006 55 1000 3000 250
H1 55 1500 3200 250
H7 55 1500 3200 250
The advantage of HID:
The halogen lamps light luminous system(filament) whit 12V dc voltage. Comparison of it, the HID does not using the filament, other advantage is that consumption of electricity only 50% tungsten halogen lamp. And it’s luminous is 3 times, and service life is five times the halogen lamps. Because the HID system just only consumption of electricity power only 36W,so it’s high efficiency and safety.
have the following characteristics:
1、three times output luminous.
Usually in the calculating the brightness of unit is usually called “Lumen” HID can be output the brightness up to 3200Lumen. While the halogen bulb can only be generated brightness on about 1000 Lumen. HID three times higher than traditional halogen lamp luminance efficiency,for the promotion of night and fog sight definition has the obvious the effect.
2, the color temperature is very comfortable
The so-called color temperature of light is a color temperature produce a light color, the lower the temperature, the color temperature will be close to red.Contrarily , will be close to bule, about 6000K light color just as white,
Acquaintance COB LED
Compared with the traditional lamp, the COB LEB lamp advantage is continuous improvement COB package technology is getting more and more recognition. Because of the COB LED lamp has some feature such as: low heat resistance. high flux density,less glare, light uniformity, so the LED COB has widely application in the LED market. such as: Lamp, bulb, fluorescent tubes, street lamps and mining lamp。In here we will description of COB LED lamp relatively advantage than the traditional LED package. Follow we will be put forward the five advantage: LOW heat resistance,Light quality, application advantage, cost advantage. The produce efficiency and produce flow is same basically,but COB LED is high efficiency than traditional smd led on Dispensing, separation, splitting, packaging. The SMD report states that 10 percent of the materiel cost to the laborage and produce cost. If use the COB LED to replace traditional SMD lamp, the worker ‘wage and produce cost will be save to 5 percent. The COB LED is low resistance package(surface light source),widely visual angle and adjust easily, reduce loss of light refraction, application advantage:forenamed the COB LED was quite wide of the market application. such as LED Light Tube ,high strip.At the sight of the data and note above, we can be knows that the save-cost range from 19% to 32% when with the COB LED to replace traditional SMD lamp, so The produce cost reduced their led market demands. The business rivals To become diminished.
