Led driving apparatus

Provided is an LED driving apparatus capable of improving a power factor through a non-insulation type simplified circuit structure, being adaptable to a triac dimmer, being miniaturized to be economical. The LED driving apparatus includes: a light emitting unit having at least one LED; a rectifier rectifying an alternate current(AC) voltage applied from external power; a power supply unit supplying driving power to the light emitting unit, and having an inductor connected to an output terminal of the light emitting unit; a switch controller receiving a voltage outputted from the rectifier to generate a reference voltage in proportion to the voltage outputted from the rectifier, and comparing the reference voltage with an input voltage generated by detecting a current flowing in the inductor, and controlling an on or off operation of a switch so as to proportion a waveform connecting peaks of the current flowing in the inductor to a waveform represented from the input voltage by turning the switch off at a po
