Abstract
The present disclosure provides an LED driver with brightness control and a driving method thereof, which adjust a first rate of a first current mirror, a second rate of a second current mirror, and a reference current of a current source according to the brightness to be presented (related to image brightness information) to adaptively adjust an LED current flowing through an LED string, thereby reducing the loss of the LED current during operation over an operating current range. Besides, the LED driver with brightness control and the driving method thereof do not require that an operator adjusts the variation of the LED current in different operating current ranges in advance, thereby reducing the test time and cost and avoiding the operator from deciding a wrong adjustment amount.
