Abstract

An exemplary backlight system includes a power input circuit (21), a detection circuit (27), a control circuit (28), a light emitting diode driving circuit (25), and a light emitting diode array (26). The detection circuit is configured to detect a connection state of the power input circuit with respect to an external power source, and send a corresponding connection states signal to the control circuit. The control circuit is configured to output a control signal to the light emitting diode driving circuit according to the connection state signal. The light emitting diode driving circuit is configured to drive or shut down the light emitting diode array according to the control signal.
