Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple and inexpensive liquid crystal display device keeping good visibility all the time, by lightening a displaying surface just after the time when the power is turned on, even when the surrounding temperature is low. SOLUTION: As a heating element 1 becomes hot after the power is turned on, the heat is conducted to a lamp built in a back light 2 to increase lamp temperature, thereby resistance of the heating element 1 is also increased. Luminance change of the display surface of LCD 3 depends on the temperature change of the lamp of the back light 2, therefore, when the lamp temperature is rapidly increased, light emission efficiency of the lamp is increased, and also luminance of the display surface of the LCD 3 is rapidly increased. Consequently, a time period from after the power turning-on to saturation of the luminance is shortened.

Referring now to FIGS. 2A to 2D, first, since the lamp temperature is low immediately after the power is turned on, the resistance value R of the heating element 1 is also low. Therefore, a large amount of current flows through the heating element 1 and the power consumption W increases, so that the heat generation amount is large.

When the heating element 1 generates heat, the heat is transmitted to the lamp incorporated in the backlight 2 and the lamp temperature rises, so that the resistance value R of the heating element 1 also rises. When the resistance value R of the heating element 1 increases, the output voltage V of the voltage control circuit 4 is constant at that time, so that the power consumption of the heating element 1 decreases and the heat generation amount also decreases. Therefore, the ratio of the temperature change of the lamp with respect to time gradually decreases.
The graph of (b) gradually draws a gentle curve.

Since the change in the luminance of the display surface of the LCD 3 depends on the change in the lamp temperature of the backlight 2, FIG.
Are almost the same as those in FIG. 2B.
That is, after the power is turned on, the heating element 1 generates heat and heat is transmitted to the lamp, and when the lamp temperature rises sharply, the luminous efficiency of the lamp rises and the brightness of the display surface of the LCD 3 also rises sharply. Thereafter, as the calorific value of the luminous body 1 decreases, the curve showing the luminance change characteristic gradually becomes gentle and saturates at time t.

As described above, according to the liquid crystal display device of the present invention, even when the power is turned on at a low temperature, the heat generated by the heating element is transmitted to heat the lamp, thereby improving the luminous efficiency of the lamp. Accordingly, the brightness rise time of the display surface of the liquid crystal display is shortened, so that the visibility of the display surface of the liquid crystal display can be kept good regardless of the ambient temperature.

Further, since the resistance value of the heating element for heating the lamp is directly proportional to the temperature, the power consumption of the heating element decreases as the temperature rises, and the heat is not generated after the temperature is sufficiently increased. Therefore, a temperature sensor and a temperature control circuit are not required, and the device can be manufactured at a low cost with a simple structure.

Further, since the maximum heating value of the heating element is determined by the output voltage of the voltage control circuit, the maximum heating value can be changed by making the output voltage of the voltage control circuit variable, and the luminance rise characteristic can be changed.
