  • Driving method of external electrode fluorescent lamp inverter for backlight
    Patent number: 7498752
    Abstract: A driving method of external electrode fluorescent lamp inverter for backlight. In the driving method, a square wave voltage frequency for driving the external electrode fluorescent lamp is applied to the primary side of a transformer in the region whose frequency is substantially ½ of the resonant frequency which is determined by the capacitance of the external electrode fluorescent lamp and the leakage inductance of the transformer. Then, the external electrode fluorescent lamp is caused to emit light by the self-discharge to thereby obtain high efficiency and high luminance.
