Abstract
A low-cost and simple circuit for driving blue light emitting diodes with u ltralow supply voltage is demonstrated. By using only three transistors and two voltage multipliers, a blue light emitting diode was driven with a sup plied voltage as low as 0.8 V. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics.
