Abstract
There is provided a light emitting diode driving apparatus, including: a power supplying unit converting input power into driving power according to a control and supplying the converted driving power to a light emitting diode channel; a driving unit controlling current flowing in the light emitting diode channel according to a pulse width modulation (PWM) dimming signal from the outside; and a controlling unit comparing a reference level set by a duty of the PWM dimming signal with a detection voltage level of the light emitting diode channel and controlling a power converting operation of the power supplying unit according to the comparison result.
