Abstract

There is provided a light emitting diode power supply apparatus capable of limiting a rise in a voltage level of a power supplied to a light emitting diode even in the case in which driving of the light emitting diode is stopped for a long period of time. The light emitting diode power supply apparatus includes: a power supply unit supplying a driving power set under a control to a light emitting diode; and a controlling unit selecting one of a detection voltage obtained by detecting a current flowing to the light emitting diode and a voltage provided according to an operation state of the light emitting diode to control a power supply operation of the power supply unit.
