DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a light bulb driving device for lighting a light bulb that differs from the power supply voltage.

In this drive device, E is a power source, and switches SWI, SW2, etc. are provided to light up the light bulbs Li, L2, etc., which differ from the power source voltage, and the switches and the power source are connected to each other. In between, a resistor R1 is connected to lower the voltage to a voltage corresponding to the light bulb and to limit the current. With this kind of circuit configuration, when you turn on the switch SWI to light up the bulb L4, the voltage applied to the terminals of the bulb will rise slowly due to the current limit of the resistor R, and the red heat of the bulb filament will slow down. The brightness will not reach the specified brightness.

This situation is illustrated in the graph of FIG. In this graph, ri is the voltage across the bulb, and is the switch SW
This is the time (milliseconds) after turning on I, SW2..., and when the switch is turned on, it takes a considerable amount of time until the resistor R1 slowly rises and a stable voltage and current are flowing. This means that the time required to turn on the light bulb is delayed until it reaches normal brightness, and if this is used in display devices, especially in automobile instruments, where the switching frequency is high, such as automatic clutches, etc. Although fast display is required, there is a drawback that it is not possible. The present invention has been made to eliminate these drawbacks, and its purpose is to provide a light bulb drive device that allows the light bulb to quickly rise to normal brightness when the switch is changed. The present invention, which was made to achieve this object, provides a switch between a power source and a light bulb whose voltage is lower than the power source voltage, and a current-limiting resistor that matches the voltage of the light bulb between the power source and the switch. A light bulb and a drive device, characterized in that a zener diode and a small resistor for protecting the zener diode are provided in parallel with the current-limiting resistor. Due to the presence of the Zener diode installed in parallel with the LED, a constant voltage current with a steep rise rapidly flows through the Zener diode to the bulb immediately after the switch is turned on, allowing normal lighting without delay. It is.

After that, the light would continue to be lit via the current-limiting resistor, which slowly rose.

This is because the small resistance R2 is sufficiently smaller than the resistance R1.
The current flows steeply due to the characteristics of the Zener diode. This state is as shown in the graph of FIG. In this graph, V is the voltage across the bulb, and t is q seconds (milliseconds) after the switches SW1, SW2, . . . are turned on. After the switch SWl is turned on, the current flows steeply without dropping below the rated value due to the characteristics of the Zener diode ZD, so the bulb L immediately returns to the normal lighting state.
After that, current flows from the resistor R, which slowly rises, and the normal lighting condition is stabilized. In short, if only the resistor R1 is used, immediately after the switch is turned on, the current flowing to the bulb side will temporarily become less than the rated current due to the presence of the relatively large resistor R1, which will slow down the rise. Therefore, by installing zener diodes in parallel, the current from the power supply will flow to the bulb side at the same time as the switch is turned on without dropping below the rated current, which will significantly shorten the normal startup time and allow for faster lighting. . As explained above, the turtle bulb 1 driving device according to the present invention is used when lighting a light bulb different from the power supply voltage, and is used to reduce the power supply voltage to a voltage corresponding to the light bulb and to limit the current. A zener diode and a small protective resistor are installed in parallel with the resistor. Since a bright start-up can be expected, the lamp can be turned on at a predetermined brightness at the same time as the switch is turned on, and it has an excellent effect as a light bulb driving device for a light source for a display device.
