Abstract:
A fluorescent lamp (2), in particular a backlight lamp of a display device, is supplied with an alternating voltage, a frequency and an amplitude of which being greater during ignition than during normal operation of the lamp. The voltage (V) across the lamp and the current (I) through the lamp are measured to provide a measured voltage value and a measured real lamp current value. From the alternating voltage there is derived a voltage (V2). The measured voltage value is multiplied by the sum of the measured real lamp current value and the derived voltage. The multiplication result (P=V*(I+V2)) is compared with a reference value (Ref), which results in a difference or error value. The error value is used to control the frequency and the amplitude of the alternating voltage (V), such that the error value is minimized.

Abstract:
When alternately applying an output voltage of a DC-DC converting circuit 3 to one discharge lamp, an output voltage on a non-load side in outputs having positive and negative polarities which is not applied to the discharge lamp during the light-up of the discharge lamp is restricted to be equal to an output voltage on a side which is applied to the discharge lamp. Moreover, when supplying a power to two discharge lamps while alternately switching a polarity of an output voltage through the DC-DC converting circuit 3, an output voltage on a non-load side in the outputs having positive and negative polarities which is not applied to the discharge lamp is restricted to be equal to the output voltage on the side which is applied to the discharge lamp if one of the discharge lamps is lighted up or an instruction for light-up is given and the other discharge lamp is lighted out or an instruction for light-out is given.
Abstract:
The vital driver utilizes rectification and subsequent synchronized inverting of the rectified power, which is then fed to a transformer. Failed operation, which permits current having a DC component to reach the load transformer, causes an increase in the current which is sensed by a current sensor. The high current can be detected by a fuse. Some embodiments use primary modules having a rectifier section with sufficient power to run a number of secondary units, each powering an individual load. The synchronizing inverter can utilize optically coupled solid state switches.
Abstract:
A piezoelectric transformer drives a cold cathode tube under the control of a light controller; when the cold cathode tube is radiating in a small luminous intensity range, the light controller changes the duty factor of a driving signal supplied to the piezoelectric transformer so as to adjust the cold cathode tube at a target luminous intensity, and prevents the cold cathode tube from undesirable luminous gradient; when the cold cathode tube is radiating in a large luminous intensity range, the light controller changes the frequency of the driving signal so as to adjust the cold cathode tube to a target luminous intensity, and prevents a power supply unit from undesirable frequent load variation.
