    摘要: An LED driver circuit prevents an increase in output voltage of a DC/DC converter in an open circuit condition associated with removal or failure of an LED lighting device. A DC power source provides a first DC voltage across positive and negative voltage rails. A DC/DC converter includes a switching element which when turned ON/OFF provides a second DC voltage across first and second ends of a capacitor which further define first and second LED lighting device connection terminals. A control circuit, upon receiving a drive power signal, turns ON/OFF the switching element to provide constant current control. A power supply circuit is coupled between the second LED lighting device connection terminal and the negative voltage rail and generates the drive power signal to the control circuit during a detected lighting condition. The power supply circuit further disables the drive power signal during a detected open circuit condition.

    摘要: A power supply includes: a step-down chopper unit for stepping down a DC voltage from a DC power source to a voltage required for lighting; and a dimming control unit which dims the light source by alternately repeating a switching ON period during which a drive signal having a frequency higher than that of the dimming signal is supplied to the switching element and a switching OFF period during which the supply of the drive signal to the switching element is stopped. Further, the power supply includes an inrush current prevention unit for preventing an inrush current occurring when the DC power source is turned on, and a compensation unit which applies a drive voltage to the thyristor in the switching OFF period.

    摘要: The present invention is a backlight unit 1 in which multiple substantially U-shaped lamps, to each of whose respective both end portions 11a and 11b an electrode 12 is attached, are disposed in parallel to one another in an envelope 20 in a manner that the end portions 11a and 11b of each lamp 10 face opposite to the end portions 11a and 11b of the adjacent lamp 10 and are positioned closer to a side wall 42/44 of the envelope 20 than a bent portion 13 of the adjacent lamp 10 is. Herewith, it is possible to offer the backlight unit 1 realizing reduced unevenness in luminance and requiring less power consumption.
