A plurality of voltage applying sections (1, 32 and 33; and 2, 34 and 35) generate application voltages based on a detection voltage determined based on a maximum forward voltage drop among the forward voltage drops of the light emitting element arrays (11 to 14), and apply the generated application voltages to the light emitting elements (11 to 14). Switching sections (30 and 31) switch between a plurality of voltage applying sections (1, 32 and 33; and 2, 34 and 35) to which the light emitting element arrays (11 to 14) individually connect. Controlling sections (40 to 42) control the switching sections (30 and 31) to switch connection to minimize the difference between forward voltage drops of light emitting element arrays (11 to 14).

    摘要: A cold cathode tube driving device using a piezoelectric transformer in which an output voltage varies depending on a frequency of an input voltage, as a booster transformer for driving a cold cathode tube, includes: a frequency dividing means which generates a driving pulse of an average frequency corresponding to frequency data outputted from a frequency setting means at a distribution cycle which is a driving pulse N cyclic period; a controller which controls a control cycle so as to perform the same driving for predetermined number of times A (A≧2) at the average frequency; and a burst pulse generating means which generates a pulse having a duty width in accordance with a dimming level externally applied thereto and having a frequency outputted from the controller.A control cycle is A times (natural number) the distribution cycle and the driving is performed A times at the same average frequency, whereby a digital driving system using the frequency distribution of the driving pulse is achieved. Consequently, a space for the driving circuit can be saved and cost can be reduced. Further, a frequency distribution system is adopted, thereby obtaining frequency resolution required for satisfactory dimming performance and lighting performance. Moreover, a burst dimming system is adopted, thereby suppressing brightness flicker seen in a tube current control system. Additionally, there is no electric power loss seen in a system in which a power source is turned on or off and further a shield circuit is unnecessary because of a system in which the driving pulse is turned on or off. In particular, the control cycle is A times the distribution cycle and the burst dimming is performed in which the driving is executed A times at the same average frequency, whereby the brightness flicker can be prevented by controlling the tube current to be constant with high dimming resolution assured.
