  • Publication number: 20100177501
    Abstract: A backlight module includes a fluorescent lamp, an LED module, a controller, a lamp inverter, and an LED driver. The controller generates a first control signal and a second control signal according to a display signal. The lamp inverter drives the fluorescent lamp according to the first control signal. The LED driver drives the LED module according to the second control signal. The LED module is installed close to the fluorescent lamp for compensating the luminance of the fluorescent lamp when turning on and turning off.
