Abstract
A backlight unit of a display apparatus includes a power converter generating a light source power voltage in response to a power control signal, a first node, a second node, a light emitting element connected between the first node and the second node, and a controller connected to the second node. The light emitting element is configured to receive the light source power voltage through the first node, and the controller is configured to output the power control signal for controlling current flowing through the light emitting element in response to a dimming signal. When the dimming signal has a first level, the controller outputs the power control signal to turn off the power converter.
