A projection apparatus, an illumination apparatus thereof, and a light source driving method thereof are provided. A control module converts a bit control signal into first light source timing signals, converts the first light source timing signals into second light source timing signals according to a lookup table, generates a driving current corresponding to each light source according to the lookup table, outputs second light source driving signals corresponding to the light sources according to the second light source timing signals. The lookup table includes a driving current ratio corresponding to the light sources. A driving module drives the light sources according to the second light source driving signals and the driving current for the light sources to have overlapping light-emitting timings.

Projection apparatus, illumination apparatus thereof, and light source driving method thereof

A projection apparatus and its operation method are provided. The projection apparatus includes a light-emitting device, a driving circuit coupled to the light-emitting device, and a control circuit receiving at least one video frame and analyzing color content of the at least one video frame. According to at least one control signal, the driving circuit drives the light-emitting device to generate a projected beam. The control circuit selects a highlight mode or a normal mode as a selected mode according to the color content and correspondingly sets at least one control signal to the driving circuit according to the selected mode. A brightness of the projected beam of the light-emitting device in the highlight mode is greater than that in the normal mode.

Projection apparatus and operation method thereof

A key module includes a key, a light emitting component, and a drive circuit. The key is operable between on and off states. The light emitting component is disposed adjacent to the key, and is capable of providing indicating light for the key. The drive circuit is electrically connected to the key and the light emitting component. The drive circuit is triggered upon switching of the key from the off state to the on state to provide a drive signal for driving the light emitting component to provide the indicating light. The drive signal has an intensity that gradually decreases over time once the key switches from the on state to the off state such that the indicating light provided by the light emitting component has a luminance that gradually decreases over time.
