  • Publication number: 20030142083
    Abstract: A driver circuit of an LCDM is disclosed. The driver circuit contains a driving unit and a transformer unit. When the LCDM needs to drive a plurality of inverters, the driving unit sends out a driving voltage in an asynchronous way to drive the transformer unit. The transformer unit amplifies the driving voltage and sends it to the lamps. The invention thus achieves the goal of driving the LCDM using different timings within a work period.

  • Patent number: 4319164
    Abstract: Described is a circuit to invert DC to AC for the operation of electroluminescent lamps. A primary winding of a transformer is in series with a power source and the input or output of the switching device. The output of the switching device is connected back to the power source. The secondary winding of the transformer is in series with an electroluminescent lamp and the controller side of the switching device. The secondary winding doubles as both the output to the electroluminescent lamp and the feedback winding to the controller side of the switching device. The electroluminescent lamp doubles both as the load and limiting impedance to the controller side of the switching device. Also described is a unique device for dimming the electroluminescent lamp.
