  • Patent number: 7741790
    Abstract: A lamp current balance and feedback system and related method are disclosed for balancing the input and output currents of a lamp by making use of a lamp current balance and feedback mechanism. The operation of the lamp current balance and feedback mechanism includes coupling the input current of the lamp for generating a first balance current by a first transformer, coupling the output current of the lamp for generating a second balance current by a second transformer, coupling the first and second transformers for substantially equalizing the first and second balance currents, generating a feedback signal based on the first or second balance current by a feedback circuit, generating a pulse width modulation signal based on the feedback signal by a pulse width modulation signal generation circuit, and driving the input and output currents of the lamp based on the pulse width modulation signal by a driving circuit.

  • Patent number: 7670025
    Abstract: A backlight module comprising a back bezel, at least one light emitting device, a first circuit board, and a second circuit board is provided. The light emitting device, which has an electrode, is disposed on the side of the back bezel, while the first circuit board is disposed on the edge of the back bezel. An elastic clip is used to electrically connect the first circuit board directly with the electrode of the light emitting device, while the second circuit board is electrically connected to the first circuit board.

  • Publication number: 20090206771
    Abstract: A light driver circuit device for synchronously driving a plurality of cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) is provided. The light driver circuit device includes an inverter circuit board and a balance circuit board. The inverter circuit board has an inverter circuit coupled to a driving signal for outputting a driving voltage to drive the CCFLs synchronously. The balance circuit board and the inverter circuit board are installed separately, and the balance circuit board has a balance circuit coupled to a terminal of each CCFL and the inverter circuit. The CCFL driving architecture is designed to install the inverter circuit and the balance circuit individually, thus effectively reducing the space of the driving circuit and the total cost of the circuit design. Furthermore, the balance circuit board can balance the current in each CCFL effectively, and there is no limitation to where the balance circuit board can be disposed.
