In this paper, a external electrode fluorescent lamp driving inverter for LCD backlight is designed. AC input from a lamp-driven system to process up to two inverter system for the existing configuration of power-efficient than the system as well as to increase the volume and weight reduction, Furthermore low-cost advantage. AC power input in order to drive EEFL stable and AC 85V ~ 265V power factor increase in the PFC Block can be used for running the Inverter Block EEFL and composed.

The ambipolar diffusion equation has been solved in a fine-tube lamp of a few mm in diameter. In the diffusion of radial direction, the plasma diffuses and vanishes away at the glass wall by recombination with the characteristic time of plasma loss is given by $\tau_r\;=\;(r_0/2.4)^2/D_a$. With the radius $r_0{\sim}1\;mm$ and the ambipolar diffusion coefficient $D_a{\sim}0.01\;m^2/s$, the vanishing time is calculated $\tau_r{\sim}10\;{\mu}s$ which corresponds to the least value of frequency 30 kHz for the sustaining the plasma in the operation of high voltage AC-power. In the diffusion of longitudinal z-direction, a high density plasma generated at the area of a high voltage electrode, diffuses into the positive column with the characteristic time $\tau_z{\sim}0.1\;s$. The plasma diffusion velocity at the boundary of high density plasma is $u_D{\sim}10^2\;m/s$ at the time $t{\sim}10^{-6}$ s and the diffusion velocity becomes slow as $u_D{\sim}1\;m/s$ at $t{\sim}10^{-3}\;s$. Therefore, for the long lamp of 1 m, it takes about several seconds for the high density plasma at the area of electrode to diffuse through the whole positive column space.

기존의 Monitor 대응 LCD 에서 TV 대응 LCD로의 개발에 있어서 특성 개선은 다각도로 진행되고 있으나, 무엇보다도 휘도 특성의 개선이 요구된다. TV 대응 LCD Panel 은 Monitor 대응 제품에 비해서 일반적으로 해상도가 낮으므로, 투과율면에서 장점은 있으나, 현재의 B/L 구조로는 만족할만한 성능을 낼 수 없는 상황이다. 고휘도 BL(Back Lignt)를 위해서 EEFL(External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp) 혹은 CCFL 의 복수 사용을 전제로 한 직하방식에 대한 개발 검토가 활발히 이루어지고 있으나, 직하방식에 의한 고휘도화는 램프수의 증가에 따른 인버터의 기구적, 전기적 사양의 증가를 필요로 하며, LCD Module전체의 두께가 증가되는 문제를 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 L-Shaped 램프를 적용하여 기본의 기구적인 사양 및 전기적인 사양을 유사하게 유지함과 동시에, 고휘도화를 실현하여 TV 대응 수준을 확보하였으며, lamp를 floating구동하여 램프편측 전압 500V를 사용하면서 655 nit의 휘도를 달성하였다.
