Abstract
A backlight unit of a display device includes a power converter to generate a light source voltage in response to a power control signal, a light emitting element connected between a first node and a second node, and a light source controller connected to the second node and to output the power control signal in response to a dimming signal. The light emitting element receives the light source power voltage through the first node. When a feedback voltage of the second node is lower than a first reference voltage, the light source controller outputs the power control signal having a first pulse width based on the feedback voltage and the dimming signal. When the feedback voltage is higher than the first reference voltage, the light source controller outputs the power control signal having a second pulse width based on a voltage lower than the feedback voltage and the dimming signal.
