Abstract:
Disclosed is power supply device and method having a spark prevention function. The power supply device having a spark prevention function includes output connectors to which an external device is coupled to be supplied with electric power; and an output controller for controlling a level of a voltage outputted to the output connectors depending upon whether the external device is coupled to the output connectors. Accordingly, damages to parts and malfunctions due to spark occurrences can be prevented, so an external device can be coupled to a power supply device in operation without any damage.

Abstract:
A surface light source unit, a liquid crystal display apparatus, and a method for reducing snaking and vibration of the positive column caused in the surface light source unit are provided. The surface light source unit includes at least one discharge space for emitting light, a first electrode positioned a distance apart from the center of one side of the discharge space for emitting current, and a second electrode positioned at a distance apart from the center of the other side of the discharge space for receiving the current emitted from the first electrode. The first electrode and the second electrode disposed at both sides of the discharge space arranged on the upper side of the surface light source unit are positioned at the upper side of the center of the discharge space. The first electrode and the second electrode positioned at both sides of the discharge space arranged on the lower side of the surface light source unit are positioned apart from the center of the discharge space. Therefore, snaking and the vibration of the positive column are reduced. A black portion generated in the upper and lower side of the conventional surface light source unit is also reduced.
Abstract:
A surface light source unit of a liquid crystal display device that is capable of preventing occurrence of a dark area caused by external electrode elements. The surface light source unit of a liquid crystal display unit comprises a surface light source body having a plurality of discharge sections which are divided into first regions where the discharge sections are shaded by a support frame, and a second region where the discharge sections are exposed without being shaded by the support frame, and first external electrode elements provided on the surface light source body to correspond to the first regions that cover an area of the plurality of discharge sections that is smaller than the first regions. As a result, luminance of light projected from the surface light source unit can be uniformly controlled, and a display quality can be enhanced.

Abstract:
A surface light source unit and an LCD device having the same having an improved structure to minimize a dark portion caused by an outer electrode portion. The surface light source unit of the LCD device includes a discharge portion formed between a first substrate and a second substrate disposed opposite to the first substrate, a first outer electrode portion disposed on the first substrate inside the discharge portion to be supplied with power, a first frit disposed on the first substrate inside the discharge portion opposite the first outer electrode portion. The discharge portion performs a discharge according to the power supplied to the first outer electrode portion. Since the first frit increases the number of secondary emitting electrons, the dark portion can be minimized.
