IX. INSTRUCTIONS: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a light source driving module, and more particularly to a light source driving module of a digital light source processing device. [Prior Art] Due to the ever-increasing consumer demand for audio-visual visual enjoyment, the projector's light weight, portability and large-screen effect make it gradually occupy a place in the display field. At the same time, as the demand for projectors continues to increase, the Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology used by the projector has gradually gained attention in the industry. Referring to FIG. 1 , in the prior art, the digital light source processing apparatus 1 uses white light as its light source u, and then first focuses the light emitted by the light source 11 through a set of condensing mirrors 12 onto a color wheel 13 (from red, green and blue). On the color filter composed of three colors, the color wheel 13 is rotated by a motor μ to convert the transmitted light into a color of different colors. Then, the light beam 15 is used to focus the color light of the tooth color wheel 13 on a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) 16. The digital micromirror device 16 has a plurality of micro mirrors, and the micro mirrors can reflect the desired color light into the light transmission hole of the projection lens 17 or reflect unwanted color light away from the projection lens n. The light-transmitting aperture 'by controlling the output of the color light' constitutes a bright color change that is different from the image plane. However, although the digital light source processing apparatus 1 has the advantages of color saturation, dark portion fine, and good quality, the joint between the color filters on the color wheel is not flat or insufficient, and the color wheel rotates fast enough. When the problem arises, there is also a lack of the so-called rainbow effect. In addition, the conventional technology uses a Light Emitting Diode (LED) as its light source 11, and although it is more enhanced in brightness than a conventional light source, the same problem still exists in the heat of the light source. Since the light source 11 is overheated, the brightness may be lowered or flickered. However, if the amount of air blown from the heat radiating fan is increased in order to reduce the heat of the light source 11, the noise of the heat radiating fan and the power consumption may be caused at the same time. Therefore, how to improve the lack of the color rainbow effect generated by the color wheel in the digital light source processing device and reduce the problem caused by the overheating of the light source is one of the current important issues. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a light source driving module capable of improving the lack of rainbow effect generated by a color wheel in a digital light source processing apparatus and reducing the problem of overheating of the light source. In order to achieve the above object, a light source driving module of a digital light source processing apparatus according to the present invention comprises a light emitting unit, a control unit, a synchronizing unit and a driving unit. The light emitting unit has at least a first light emitting element and a second light emitting element. The control unit outputs a control signal and a sequence signal, wherein the control unit outputs the sequence signal according to the order of illumination of the first light-emitting element and the second light-emitting element. The synchronization unit is electrically connected to the control unit and receives the sequence signal, and outputs a synchronization signal. The driving unit 8 200900838 is electrically connected to the control unit and the light emitting unit, and receives the control signal, and outputs a first driving signal and a second driving signal to drive the first light emitting element and the second light emitting element. According to the above, the light source driving module of the digital light source processing device according to the present invention generates different color lights by using different color light emitting elements, and outputs a synchronization signal to the digital micromirror device by using a synchronization unit to make the digital position The micromirror elements are synchronized with the order of illumination of the illuminating elements. Compared with the prior art, the present invention replaces the color wheel and the motor that drives the color wheel by the synchronizing unit and the light-emitting elements of different colors, thereby not only avoiding the rainbow effect caused by the color wheel, but also reducing the number of components. In turn, the production cost is reduced. In addition, since the present invention utilizes light-emitting elements of different colors as the light source, it is possible to obtain better color saturation and image brightness of the white light source than the prior art in image representation. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, a light source driving module of a digital light source processing apparatus according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the related drawings.

The light emitting unit 210 has a first light emitting element 210a, a second light emitting element 210b and a third light emitting element 210c. The light-emitting elements 9 200900838 210a, 210b, and 210c may be a red light-emitting diode, a green light-emitting diode, and a blue light-emitting diode, respectively. Of course, in other application designs, the light-emitting elements 210a, 210b, and 210c may also be a cyan light-emitting diode, a magenta light-emitting diode, and a yellow light-emitting diode, respectively. In addition, the light-emitting unit 210 can add a white light-emitting diode in addition to the three-color light-emitting diodes, thereby increasing the color brightness of the output.

The control unit 211 further includes a central processor 211a, a digital analog converter 211b, and a signal amplifier 211c. The digital analog converter 211b is electrically connected to the central processing unit 211a and the signal amplifier 211c, respectively. When the control unit 211 receives an image data Id, the central processing unit 211a divides the image data Id into the control signal C for regulating the current intensity of the light-emitting unit 210, and controls the first light-emitting element 210a and the second light-emitting element in the light-emitting unit 210. The sequence signal S1 of the light-emitting sequence of 210b and the third light-emitting element 210c. The central processing unit 211a then outputs the sequence signal S1 and the control signal C. The sequence signal S1 is output to the synchronization unit 212, and the control signal C is converted into an analog signal by the digital analog converter 211b, and then amplified by the signal amplifier 211c and output to the driving unit 213. Then, when the synchronization unit 212 receives the sequence signal S1, it converts it into the synchronization signal S2, and outputs the synchronization signal S2 to the digital micromirror device 221 in the digital light source processing interface 22, so that the digital micromirror device 221 and the light emitting unit The order of illumination of each of the light-emitting elements in 210 is synchronized. By this means, 200900838 can replace the action of a motor with a knowing technique, a color wheel and a moving color wheel. The driving unit 213 is electrically connected to the light emitting unit 210, and the driving unit 213 includes at least two rate transistors 213a and a DC voltage generator (4). In general, the driving unit 213 is based on a full-bridge architecture, a half-bridge architecture, or a different architecture: it will have four power transistors (10) or two-day solar 213a, and the architecture is not limited thereto. After receiving the control signal outputted by the control unit 2 ι, the power transistor 213a receives the DC voltage and generates the DC voltage signal Dv and the control signal C, and adjusts the output. Sending the DC power required for each of the shirts in the 2K), and respectively rotating the DC power source as the first driving signal D丨, the second driving signal D 2 and the second driving signal D3 to respectively drive the first The light-emitting element 21A, the second light-emitting element 210b, and the third light-emitting element 21c are illuminated. The color light L emitted by the light-emitting unit 210 is incident on the digital light source processing interface 22, and the angle of each micro-lens on the digital micro-mirror device 221 is adjusted by the 〆 processor element 222 to control the output of each color light. Different bright color changes of the image screen I. In addition, the temperature detecting unit 214 is disposed around the light emitting unit 210 for detecting the temperature of each of the light emitting elements in the light emitting unit 210, or detecting the ambient temperature of the light source driving module 21, and different settings can be made according to different requirements. The temperature detecting unit 214 includes at least one temperature detector 2l4a, 11 200900838 - a multiplexer 214b and a digital temperature monitor 214c, wherein the multiplexer 214b is electrically connected to the digital temperature monitor 214c and the temperature detector 21, respectively. In this embodiment, the temperature detector 214a may be a thermistor or a thermocouple. ° When the light emitting unit 210 starts to emit light, the temperature detector 214a in the temperature detecting unit 214 continuously receives The temperature signal τ of each of the light-emitting elements transmits the temperature signal τ to the digital temperature monitor 214c through the multiplexer 214b, and the digital temperature monitor 21牝 receives the temperature τ and one of the temperatures in the memory. The comparison table Tb is compared, and the temperature feedback signal R is sent to the central processing unit 2iu in the control unit 211. Also, when the central processing unit '21U in the control unit 211 receives the temperature feedback signal R, it will The control signal c of the current intensity of each of the light-emitting elements 2i, a, 210b, and 21G of the light-emitting unit 21 is adjusted to adjust the light-emitting intensity of each of the light-emitting elements 210a, 210b, and 21〇c. Affecting the brightness of the light-emitting diode, so by monitoring the temperature, the current of the driving light-emitting diode can be adjusted according to the detected temperature at any time, thereby increasing the stability and the service life of the light-emitting unit 21〇 In summary, the light source driving module of the digital light source processing device according to the present invention generates different color lights by using different color light-emitting elements, and uses a synchronization unit to rotate the synchronization signals to the digital micro-mirror elements. The digital micromirror 7C is synchronized with the light emitting sequence of the light emitting element. Compared with the prior art, the present invention can be borrowed not only by the different color light emitting elements but also by the synchronous single 7L instead of the color wheel and the motor for driving the color wheel. This avoids the rainbow effect caused by the color wheel factor, and can be used to reduce the number of components 12 200900838 'and thus reduce the system (4). In addition, 'the invention is based on the different color of the light-emitting elements as the light source 'so' in the image performance It can also obtain better color saturation and image brightness than the white light source of the prior art.
