A cold cathode flourescent lamp for the backlight in the notebook computer requires high input voltage about 1300(V) when it turns on. But once a discharge starts, the input voltage can be dropped by about one-third for continued output. The equivalent impedance also varies from open to several dozens of kilo-ohms. The piezoelectric transformer converts electrical energy into mechanical energy and then converts it back to electrical energy at a high voltage. Its high output voltage, high efficiency and small size are suitable for driving the LCD backlight in the notebook computer. The piezoelectric transformer operates near the resonance frequency and the output waveform is close to sine wave with very little noise. This paper suggests an inverter for LCD backlight of notebook computer using piezoelectric transformer that includes voltage to frequency converter for gate signal which is useful for tracking of variable resonance frequency depending on load impedance.

고전압 전원공급기를 고 밀도로 제작하기 위하여 고 주파수 동작을 시켜야 한다. 이에 따라 전원 공급기에서 최대의 부피를 차지하는 부품인 변압기는 원하는 주파수에서 최소의 부피로 충분한 전력을 수용하면서 완벽한 펄스재현을 하여야 한다. 고전압 전원공급기는 풀-브릿지 DC/DC 컨버트로 구성되어 있으며 스윗칭 주파수는 100 kHz 이다. 변압기는 일차권선이 1개이며 이차 권선은 4개로 구성된다 일차전압은 250 Vdc, 이차 권선 각각의 출력은 520 Vrms이다. 변압의 이차 권선은 배 전압 회로를 이용하여 승압 후 각각을 직렬로 연결하여 -4,100 VDC와 -2,050 VDC를 만들어 TWT(Travel Wave Tube)의 케소드 및 콜렉트에 공급한다. 이 변압기는 100 kHz 펄스로 동작하고 최대부피가 400$cm^3$이하가 되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 변압기의 설계 방법 및 최소 온도상승을 위한 적절한 동작 자속밀도의 선택에 대하여 기술하고 변압기의 누설 인덕턴스, 분포 케페시턴스, 공진 주파수에 대하여 설계치 및 실험치를 비교 평가하였다.

It is required small size electronic ballast to fullfill the design philosophy of miniaturizing in the application of slim lamps. However, the traditional magnetic ballasts operated at 50-60Hz have been suffered from noticeable flicker, high loss, large crest factor and heavy weight. In this study, in order to solve these problems, It was proposed for driving 35W Class fluorescent lamp in the new type of electronic ballast, which is composed of rectifier, active power factor corrector, series resonant half bridge inverter and piezoelectric transformer. A 35W class(T5 class) fluorescent lamp is driven to successful by the fabricated ballast with piezoelectric transformer. Experimental results, It is proposed to driving the lamp using a electronic ballast at operating frequency of $75{\sim}79kHz$ approximatively. It is operated after for 25 min that were obtained good results of the input power factor of 0.95 and efficiency of 86%, respectively.

For the applications which need a micro-power supply such as thin and flat displays, micro-robot, and micro-system, it is especially necessary to integrate the passive components because they typically need more than 2/3 of the space of the conventional circuit. Therefore, we have designed and fabricated a novel piezoelectric micro transformer using the PZT thin film and MEMS technologies for application to the energy supply device of the micro-systems. The dimensions of the micro-transformer is $1000{\mu}m\;{\times}\;400{\mu}m\;{\times}\;4.8{\mu}m$ $(length{\times}width{\times}thickness)$. The dynamic displacement of around $9.2{\pm}0.064{\mu}m$ was observed at 10 V. The dynamic displacement varied almost linearly with applied voltage. The average voltage gain (step-up ratio) was approximately 2.13 at the resonant frequency $(F_r=8.006KHz)$ and load resistance $(R_L)$ of 1 $M{\Omega}$.

The piezoelectric material for piezoelectric transformer needs the high electromechanical coupling factor( $k_{p}$) the piezoelectric constant( $d_{33}$) and the mechanical quality factor( $Q_{m}$)in order to obtain high voltage step-up ratio and low temperature rising. In this study the piezoelectric transformers were fabricated using Pb［$Zr_{0.45}$/ $Ti_{0}$48//L $u_{0.02}$(M $n_{1}$3//S $b_{2}$3/)$_{0.05}$］ $O_3$(PMS-PZT) and Pb［Z $r_{0.25}$/ $Ti_{0.375}$(M $g_{1}$3//N $b_{2}$3/)$_{0.375}$］ $O_3$+0.5wt%Mn $O_2$(PMN-PZT) ceramics. The piezoelectric properties of PMS-PZT and PMN-PZT were measured. The voltage set-up ratios of the piezoelectric transformers using PMS-PZT and PMN-PZT were the value of 15, 20 respectively under 100$_{KΩ}$ in Rosen type transformer.r.ormer.r.r.r.r.r.r.

The measurement of strain under an electric field has been widely employed to comprehend the fundamental principles of electro-mechanical responses in ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and electrostrictive materials. In particular, understanding the strain properties of piezoelectric materials in response to electrical stimulation is crucial for researching and developing components such as piezoelectric actuators, acoustic devices, and ultrasonic generators. This tutorial paper introduces the components and operational principles of the linear variable differential transducer (LVDT), a widely used displacement measurement device in various industries. Additionally, we present the configuration of an experimental setup using LVDT to measure the strain characteristics of ferroelectric, piezoelectric, or electrostrictive materials under the application of an electric field. This paper includes simple measurement results and analyses obtained through the LVDT experimental setup, providing valuable information on research methods for the electro-mechanical interactions of various materials.
