Abstract

A backlight unit including: at least one light emitting diode (“LED”) string having an anode, which receives a string current, and a chassis-grounded cathode; and a current source control unit which receives a driving current and outputs the string current to the at least one LED string, where the current source control unit senses the driving current and compensates for the string current based on the sensed driving current and a reference voltage.
