Abstract

In this paper, the electrical characteristics of $\lambda$ vibration-mode piezoelectric transformer for applying to CCFL driving inverter was investigated. Piezoelectric transformer was made of PZT - PMN - 0.5wt% $Nb_{2}O_{5}$ composition. As a results of the electrical characteristics of piezoelectric transformer, when applied voltage was $35[V_{rms}]$ in $100[k{\Omega}]$ load resistance, output voltage was about $710[V_{rms}]$ and output power was more than 2[W]. As output power increased, step-up ratio and temperature was very stable until output power was 2.5[W]. Also, Efficiency was maximum in $70[k{\Omega}]$ load resistance, and about 89[%]. Also, when CCFL was used as load, the maintaining voltage was $700[V_{rms}]$ and the luminescence was $2000[cd/m^2]$ in applying $25[V_{rms}]$ to piezoelectric transformer. Conclusively, piezoelectric transformer fabricated in this paper can be applied to piezoelectric inverter for CCFL driving.
