MATRIX OF LUMINOUS ELEMENTS WITH CONTROLLED CURRENT SOURCES AND ACTION METHOD Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC H05B33/08 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: matrix of luminous elements (100) includes the first (LEE1), the second (LEE2) and the third (LEE3) light-emitting elements and the first (140) and the second (150) controlled current sources. The first light-emitting element differs with the first operating voltage VOpi at which or over which it can essentially emit the light. The second light-emitting element includes the first output (120a) and the second output (120b) connected to the second output of the first light-emitting element; at that, the second light-emitting element differs with the second operating voltage Vop2. The third light-emitting element includes the first output (130a) connected to the first output (110a) of the first light-emitting element and the second output (130b); at that, the third light-emitting element differs with the third operating voltage Vop3. The first controlled current source is connected between the first output of the first light-emitting element and the first output (120b) of the second light-emitting element, and the second controlled current source is connected between the second output (110b) of the first light-emitting element and the second output of the third light-emitting element.

EFFECT: reducing the number of circuit components.
