  • Publication number: 20080117641
    Abstract: An exemplary light emitting diode illumination device powered by a liquid crystal display device (20) includes a light emitting diode light source (21) and a supporting member (23). The light emitting diode light source receives electrical power from the liquid crystal display device (22). The light emitting diode light source is connected to the liquid crystal display device via the supporting member. Because a power supply circuit of the liquid crystal display device has an electromagnetic interference filter function, a positive feedback function, and a negative feedback function, the brightness of the light emitting diode illumination device powered by a liquid crystal display device is steady.
