Abstract

PURPOSE:To remove completely flicker caused by the interference of both the driving frequences of a back light and a display cell by giving a prescribed relation between both said frequences. CONSTITUTION:The driving frequency f2 of a cell 10 is increased to the frequency of 700Hz which corresponds to 14 times of 50Hz by a multiplier 18, and the back light 16 is drived by an amplifier 20 provided with a brightness control means 19. When the driving frequency f1 of the cell 10 is fixed to 50Hz, in order to make the strength of the flicker to zero, the driving frequency is included in a range except the range of (nf2-20)Hz<=f1<=(nf2-1)Hz and (nf2+1)Hz<=f1<=(nf2+20)Hz (n is natural number). Thus, as the driving frequency f1 of the back light 16 is an integer (n=14), the flicker caused by the interference of both the frequences f1 and f2 is zero, thereby remarkably improving the display quality of the titled device.
