Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the electric current consumption in a CFL back light system when external light is strong and to prolong the life of CFL by detecting the external light intensity and automatically switching the light source of the liquid crystal display. CONSTITUTION:The liquid crystal display 1 has a back light system by the CFL and a function to take in back light by a half mirror. A power source (inverter) 2 for CFL generates the boosted AC power source for CFL and supplies the power source to the liquid crystal display 1 by a cable. A switch circuit 4 by a photosensor control controls the power source supply to the power source 2 for CFL by the external light intensity signal from the photosensor 3. The CFL of the liquid crystal display 1 is turned off when the external light intensity is strong and irradiation is executed when the above- mentioned intensity is weak according to the above-mentioned constitution.

shed light on. The liquid crystal panel 7 performs display by blocking/transmitting light from behind. The half mirror 9 has a property of reflecting light from the light guide plate 8 but transmitting external light from the back surface. This half mirror 9 allows both external light from the back and light from the CFL to hit the liquid crystal panel, so when the external light is strong, the light from the CFL is cut off and the display is performed using only external light. , only when the external light is weak, it is possible to irradiate the light from the CFL and display using both lights.
