Abstract
The present invention discloses a backlight control circuit with flexible configuration, comprising: a light emitting device path; a current source for controlling the current amount on the light emitting device path, the current source receiving a relatively high reference voltage in a first state, and receiving a relatively low reference voltage in a second state; and a current source control circuit for controlling the current source, whereby when the light emitting device path is in normal use, the current source is set to the first state, and when the light emitting device path is not in normal use, the current source is set to the second state.
