Hi friends,
I'm going to do my FYP in the coming academic year on boost converter (IC design) for white LEDs connected at the output in series. The converter should be able to drive different number of LEDs whose brightness could be controlled.
I would be very appreciated if you could leave a few words for the following questions:
1. I know white LEDs are for backlighting of portable electronic devices or torch. Why are white LEDs so popular? Why not red LEDs? Or blue LEDs?? Do white LEDs consume more power than other LEDs? The brightest?? Any recommended website or document for white LEDs?? Thanks ~
2. Are there any commercial products that could be good references (or you have the experience of using it) for such project?? Any design notes recommened??
Thanks for your help in advance. Your comment would be very appreciated ~![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
