Definitions
- the present invention relates to a backlight inverter for lighting a light source for screen illumination of a liquid crystal display, and more particularly to a multi-light backlight inverter for a large liquid crystal TV and a driving method thereof.
- LCDs liquid crystal displays
- S which requires a light source for screen illumination such as a backlight.
- CCFL cold cathode lamps
- the knocklight CCFL is discharged and lit in order to generate a high-frequency voltage of about 60kHz and 1600V from the DC input voltage of about 12V to the secondary side of the inverter transformer at the start of discharge.
- An inverter circuit composed of an inverter unit for backlight drive using a bridge circuit or a ROYER circuit is used. This inverter circuit is controlled so that the secondary voltage of the inverter transformer is lowered to the voltage of about 600V necessary to maintain the CCFL discharge after CCFL discharge. This voltage control is usually performed by PWM control.
- a resonance circuit is formed by a leakage inductance on the secondary side of the transformer and a parasitic capacitance of a discharge tube connected as a load, and the transformer circuit has a resonance frequency at the resonance frequency of the resonance circuit.
- the CCFL for the backlight greatly varies in lamp impedance depending on the temperature and the lamp current, and particularly, the lamp impedance changes greatly immediately after the low temperature startup. In addition, if the lamp impedance fluctuates greatly, the lamp voltage also fluctuates, which causes the parasitic capacitance parasitic on the lamp to fluctuate.
- Patent Document 2 the phase difference between the transformer in which the resonant circuit is formed by the parasitic capacitance of the discharge tube and the voltage and current on the primary side of the transformer that is less than the resonant frequency of the resonant circuit
- a configuration having an H-bridge circuit that drives the primary side of the transformer at a frequency within a predetermined range from the minimum point is used.
- Patent Document 3 discloses a method for driving an inverter circuit that stabilizes an oscillation operation and prevents occurrence of flickering of a discharge tube and noise of circuit elements.
- This method drives an inverter circuit including a step-up transformer that supplies a DC current to an input line, interrupts the input line current with a switching element, and outputs an alternating voltage from the output line.
- the circuit is driven at a frequency that is out of the frequency range where the phase difference between the input and output voltages of the step-up transformer is 50 ° to 130 °. Therefore, by adjusting the number of transformers, the air gap, and the degree of coupling, the power efficiency is lowered, but the fluctuation range of the input / output voltage due to the fluctuation of the load impedance is narrowed to stabilize the oscillation.
- backlights for large TVs employ a direct-type structure in which multiple CCFLs are placed on the back of the LCD.
- multiple FET bridges are driven by a single control IC, and each FET bridge connects multiple inverter transformers to light multiple CCFLs.
- the lamp impedance greatly fluctuates due to the lamp current, and the lamp impedance changes greatly immediately after starting at low temperature.
- the lamp voltage also fluctuates, and as a result, the current flowing through the parasitic capacitance parasitic on the lamp fluctuates.
- the lamp current also stabilizes, which eliminates the flickering.
- the time span several minutes at start-up, so it is necessary to stabilize more quickly.
- each CCFL is provided with one control IC to control the lamp current. This significantly increases the manufacturing cost of the backlight inverter.
