Abstract
A light emitting diode (LED) backlight module, a driving apparatus and a driving method thereof are provided. The driving apparatus is adapted to drive at least one LED of at least one lighting unit within the LED backlight module. The driving apparatus includes a latch unit and a switch unit. The latch unit is used for receiving a control backlight data and latching the control backlight data during a frame period according to a trigger signal, so as to output a control signal. The switch unit is coupled to the latch unit and the LED for receiving the control signal to determine whether the LED emits or not.
