Disclosed is a circuit arrangement for supplying a lamp wattage to a high-pressure gas discharge lamp (Lp) in the form of an alternating current having an operating frequency, said operating frequency being frequency-modulated within large limits. The time characteristic of the operating frequency is selected such that more power is supplied to the lamp at greater frequencies, thus reducing the risk of exciting acoustic resonance in the lamp. Amplitude modulation through the frequency response of an interface (L1, C2, C3) is compensated by means of the time characteristic of the operating frequency.

A PWM generation circuit generates a PWM pulse signal having a variable duty ratio in order to control the luminance of a backlight. An edge detection circuit outputs a leading edge signal in response to the rise of the PWM pulse signal generated by the PWM generation circuit. A set value pulse generation circuit generates a set width pulse signal in response to the rise of the leading edge signal. The pulse width of the set width pulse signal is set so as to be larger than the minimum PWM pulse width. An OR gate calculates the logical sum of the set width pulse signal and the PWM pulse signal. An inverter circuit feeds a driving signal to a backlight on the basis of an output signal of the OR gate.

There is provided a discharge-lamp lighting device that, upon start-up of a high-intensity discharge lamp, alternately outputs a period A during which a starting circuit applies a high voltage to the high-intensity discharge lamp by resonance operation when a DC/AC inverter outputs a high-frequency voltage, and a period B during which the DC/AC inverter applies a low-frequency-square-wave voltage or a DC voltage to the high-intensity discharge lamp via the starting circuit. The period A for applying the high voltage by the resonance operation is set to about a time enough for a high-intensity discharge lamp in an initial aging stage to cause a dielectric breakdown, and a period C for alternately outputting the high-voltage generating period A and the period B for outputting the low-frequency-square-wave voltage or the DC voltage is set to about a time enough for a high-intensity discharge lamp in a life's last stage to cause a dielectric breakdown.
