초록

CCFL(CCFL: Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps, 이하 CCFL로 표기)은 전극이 내부에 존재하는 형태로 그 특성이 일정하지 않아 병렬구동이 어려워 개별 구동을 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 각 CCFL의 임피던스 차이에 의한 전류오 차를 감소시켜 병렬구동이 가능하도록 구동한다. 제안하는 시스템은 단지 하나의 주 변압기로 동작하며, 다수의 램프를 구동시키기 위해 밸런스 변압기를 적용하여 가격적인이나 용적이 줄어드는 효과를 가져온다. 본 방식의 타당성을 실험 및 시뮬레이션을 통하여 입증하였다.

Cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) show complex characteristics, which make it difficult to drive them in parallel. In this paper, a multi-lamp driving scheme is proposed to drive multiple lamps for LCD back light to reduce output current unbalance. This propose system is composed of parallel CCFLs, series transformers. The driving system adopts only one backlight inverter to drive multi cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL). Moreover the circuit introduces a multi-lamp driving transformer to reduce lamp-current imbalance. The validity of the proposed scheme is confirmed by the simulated and experimental results.
