As the inner diameter of CCFL is increased in the range of outer diameters 3~5 mm, the luminance efficiency is increased by the low power consumption. For the outer diameter 5 mm, the efficiency is linearly increased even at the range of a high current.

A input voltage conversion dimming control formula and a PMW dimming control formula which have been used for dimming control of CCFL driving inverter in TFT-LCD backlight, are the existing facilities so far, however, in this thesis the circuit is designed by applying The rover inverter that are able to measure output brightness according to changing of duty ratio at PWM and voltage. consequently, it's able to be confirmed that we can have dimming control more detailed than before.

A lamp which is currently employed to LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) Backlight is almost CCFL(Cold Cathod Fluorescent Lamp) and EEFL(External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp). However, the use of these lamps is being restricted as RoHS(the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment) regulation is gradually reinforced. According to this situation, the manufacturing of a lamp which doesn't use mercury is unescapable. Moreover, LCD TV has a defect which take place Motion Blur phenomenon due to response time of LC(Liquid Crystal), and Hold-type characteristic which only exists in LCD differently to CRT, PDP. In this paper, an inverter is proposed to drive a plane light source lamp which is not containing mercury. Driving circuit of proposed inverter is simple because the number of semiconductor device and magnetic device is reduced by using forward topology. Also, Motion Blur phenomenon is decreased by dividing the plane light source lamp to six block along vertical direction, and scanning. Finally, we proved usefulness of proposed inverter through experiment.

In applying LCD to TV application, one of the most significant factors to be improved is image sticking on the moving picture. LCD is different from CRT in the sense that it's continuous passive device, which holds images in entire frame period, while impulse type device generate image in very short time. To reduce image sticking problem related to hold type display mode, we made an experiment to drive LCD like CRT. We made articulate images by turn on-off backlight, and we realized the ratio of Back Light on-off time by adjusting between on time and off time for video signal input during 1 frame (16.7ms). Conventional CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamp) cannot follow fast on-off speed, so we evaluated new fluorescent substances of light source to improve residual light characteristic of CCFL. We realized articulate image generation similar to CRT by blinking drive. As a result, reduced image sticking phenomenon was validated by naked eye and response time measurement.

최근 LCD 노트북 제품의 고유한 특정인 경박단소가 요구되면서, 백라이트의 박형화로 인해 광원으로써 램프의 세경화에 대한 개발도 진행되고 있다. 특히, 노트북용 램프의 경우 발열이 심해 도광판을 비롯한 시트류의 주름현상이 발생하며, 수명연장을 위해서 전극의 표면적이 넓거나 일함수(work functuon)가 작은 재질의 개발이 필요하다. 따라서 노트북용으로 저발열, 장수명을 위한 램프를 개발하고 있으며, 본 연구에서도 기존 Ni 전극을 사용한 램프 대비 Nb, Mo, Ta 전극을 사용했을때 통일한 구동조건에서 103%의 휘도특성 개선을 확인할 수 있었고 수명면에서도 기존 Ni 전극 대비 일함수가 낮은 Nb, Mo, Ta 전극을 사용한 램프의 경우 시간경과에 따른 휘도저하가 낮은 것으로 나타났다.

The time dependences of the luminance properties of 55-inch CCFL and LED backlights and 32-inch FFL backlights with LCD panels were investigated during the warm-up time from the cold start. The long-term luminance maintenance curve of a standard CCFL was examined in a time window up to 5000 hours. These two time dependences are important characteristics from the viewpoint of initial picture quality and lifetime reliability, respectively. Empirical equations were suggested for the analysis of the time dependence of these luminance data. These approaches are expected to be helpful in predicting the luminance properties of backlights based on the luminance data obtained in a limited time window.

This paper explains the design and fabrication of an inverter for LCD backlight using a multilayer piezoelectric transformer. That inverter is operated by the burst dimming method whose dimming signal is controlled by the duty ratio of rectangular switching signal to a PWM controller. The brightness of CCFL's are investigated according to the various dimming signals, and when those CCFL's are turned on, the temperature distributions on the piezoelectric transformer and circuit components of the inverter are also investigated by a thermo-camera.

CCFL(cold cathode fluorescent lamp) are used to backlight of LCD(liquid crystal display). CCFL dimming methods are used to pulse frequency modulation(PFM) or pulse width modulation(PWM). In this paper, design of CCFL driving and control circuit by half-bridge type series and parallel resonant inverter that variable frequency modulation method to control the output voltage current. Inverter switching frequency is higher than resonant frequency for stable operating, and it is possible dimming control. On the basis of equivalent circuit, the validity of this study is confirmed by the comparison of simulation and experimental result.

평판 디스플레이의 기술이 급격히 발전함에 따라 그 응용 분야가 다양해지고 평판 모니터용 LCD도 대형화추세를 보이고 있다. LCD는 광변조기능을 가지는 수광소자로서 발광원인 백라이트(backlight)를 필요로 하는데 백라이팅 기술은 냉음극방전램프(CCFL: Cold Cathode Fluorescence Lamp)를 광원으로 사용하며 사용되는 냉음극 방전램프 또한 모니터의 추세에 따라 길어지고 얇아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 20인치의 대형 LCD 모니터의 백라이팅 즉 램프구동을 위한 안정적이면서 대출력을 가지는 인버터를 설계하였다. 일반적으로 CCFL은 같은 제조공정을 거치더라도 점등, 주파수, 전압, 전류 등 여러 가지 특성이 동일하지 않은 단점을 가지고 있는데 이는 초기 점등조건이나 점등후에 동일한 휘도를 가지는데 어려움을 준다. 본 연구에 사용된 20인치 LCD 모니터는 내부에 상하 각각 3개씩 6개의 램프를 내장하고 있으며, 제작된 인버터는 입출력 휘도대비 90%의 효율을 얻었으며, 램프간의 출력전류차가 2%로 미소하고, 최대 8개의 램프구동도 가능하다.
