Description

M363048 五、新型說明: 【新型所屬之技術領域】 本新型涉及一種電源裝置,特別是指一種具有開燈保 護的多燈管驅動系統。 【先前技術】 液晶顯示(Liquid Crystal Display,LCD )面板以放電 燈(Discharge Lamp ),特別是冷陰極螢光燈(Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp ’ CCFL)作為背光(Backlight)系統的 光源。典型地,冷陰極螢光燈由逆變器電路(Inverter Circuit)來驅動,其可供應交流訊號至燈管。 在較大型的液晶顯示面板,如液晶電視中,需要設置 兩隻或更多冷陰極螢光燈以提供足夠的亮度。然而,流經 這些燈管的電流可能不同,這使得液晶顯示面板亮度不均 勻。 同時,燈管有可能發生異常,影響整個背光系統。例 如:燈管損壞使其阻抗變大,阻止電流流過。不但如此, 燈管的阻抗會隨著其壽命的改變而改變,影響其正常工作 與發光效果。即,某些燈管在背光系統使用過程中將會老 化,發光效果逐漸變差。由於背光系統通常採用複數燈管, 某個燈管的異常對於背光系統電子特性(如:電壓與/或電 流)的影響不易被發現,從而導致燈管異常偵測比較困難。 【新型内容】 有鑑於此,需提供一種多燈管驅動系統,可平衡流經 燈管的電流並可實現開燈保護偵測。 一種多燈管驅動系統,用於驅動複數燈管,其包括逆M363048 V. New description: [New technical field] The present invention relates to a power supply device, and more particularly to a multi-lamp driving system with lamp protection. [Prior Art] A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel uses a Discharge Lamp, in particular, a Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) as a light source for a backlight system. Typically, a cold cathode fluorescent lamp is driven by an inverter circuit that supplies an alternating current signal to the lamp. In larger LCD panels, such as LCD TVs, two or more cold cathode fluorescent lamps need to be provided to provide sufficient brightness. However, the current flowing through these lamps may be different, which causes the brightness of the liquid crystal display panel to be uneven. At the same time, the lamp may be abnormal, affecting the entire backlight system. For example, damage to the lamp causes its impedance to increase, preventing current from flowing. Not only that, the impedance of the lamp changes with its life, affecting its normal operation and luminous effect. That is, some of the lamps will age during the use of the backlight system, and the illuminating effect will gradually deteriorate. Since the backlight system usually uses a plurality of lamps, the influence of an abnormality of a certain tube on the electronic characteristics (such as voltage and/or current) of the backlight system is not easily found, which makes the abnormal detection of the lamp difficult. [New content] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a multi-lamp driving system that balances the current flowing through the lamp and enables the detection of the light-on protection.
