Abstract

A light-emitting diode driving module includes an LED driving circuit to activate light-emitting diodes driven by a rectified voltage, and to adjust driving current conducted through driving nodes to the light-emitting diodes depending on a voltage of a driving current setting node; and a driving current controller to control the voltage of the driving current setting node by outputting a driving current control signal. The driving current controller includes a control signal output circuit connected to a dimming node to receive a dimming signal when the rectified voltage is modulated, and to adjust the driving current control signal depending on the dimming signal; a mode detector to detect whether the rectified voltage is modulated by receiving a source voltage depending on the rectified voltage, and to enable a selection signal depending on a detection result; and a power compensator to adjust the driving current control signal when the selection signal is enabled.
