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.

In this study, It was studied about the luminance characteristics of 17 inch direct-type back light using EEFL(external electrode fluorescent lamp) and CCFL(cold cathode fluorescent lamp). The EEFL has a long life time because the electrode is installed outside of lamp. And it is produced in lower price than conventional CCFL. Moreover, it does not need process of installing internal electrode. However, the EEFL technology has several problems such as difficulty of designing driving inverter and preventing this phenomenon along the skin of lamps. We suggested two types of backlight unit for LCD TV application using the EEFL and the CCFL. We found optimized optical design parameters. We set the optical variation parameters such as lamp height, lamp distance, total thickness, and angles of inner walls. We achieved 7580 nits of center luminance, 82% of luminance uniformity by using 20 lamps of the EEFL and 7297 nits of center luminance, 78% of luminance uniformity by using 16 lamps of the CCFL.

CCFL(Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) are used to backlight of LCD(Liquid Crystal Display). This paper presents analysis of half-bridge type resonant inverter of CCFL drive in order to stable characteristics, and fluorescent lamp operation frequency is higher than resonant frequency for safe operation. Besides, The Piezoelectric ceramic transformer (PZT) is electro-mechanical device that transfers electrical energy through a mechanical vibration. The modified equivalent circuit model of the PZT considering the operating current level is derived to design the CCFL. The validity of this study was confirmed from the simulation and experiential result.

The luminance properties of FFL(Flat Fluorescent Lamp) backlights have been investigated in detail for the first time. The on-axis luminance gain as well as viewing-angle characteristics on various combinations of optical films were obtained from FFL backlight and compared to the results of conventional CCFL(cold-cathode fluorescent lamps) backlights. It was found that the on-axis luminance gains achieved by using optical films in the FFL backlight were lower than those in the CCFL backlight indicating that the recycling processes occurring between optical films and light sources/reflection sheet are not so effective in the FFL backlight due to the much larger area of, and thus higher absorption probability of the FFL. This result suggests that new optical films should be developed for FFL backlight and other flat-lamp backlight technologies.

The Cold cathode fluorescent lamp(CCFL) are used to illuminate the liquid crystal display(LCD). Ballasts are required for CCFL because the lamp need high starting voltage and behave negative dynamic resistant characteristics in the desired region of operation. In this paper, the lamp impedance model is proposed, and this model is established from some equations and measured electrical characteristics of CCFL. The validity of porposed lamp model is verified from the simulation and experimental results.

기존의 LCD-TV의 백라이트 모듈로 사용되는 CCFL(Cold Cathode fluorescent Lamp:냉 음극형 형광램프)을 구동 하는 인버터 회로는 3단으로 구성되어 전체 시스템의 효율저하 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서 제안된 회로는 DC/DC단을 사용하지 않아 전체 시스템의 효율을 향상 시킬 수 있다. 역률 개선을 위한 PFC(Power Factor Corrector)단의 출력 전압을 인버터의 입력전압으로 사용하여 CCFL을 구동한다. 인버터에서는 4-in-1트랜스포머를 사용하여 CCFL간의 전류평형 및 동시점등을 이룰 수 있으며, 전류평형을 위한 부가회로가 불필요하다. 인버터 시스템을 2단으로 구성하여 회로구성이 간소화되고 회로의 부피 및 제작 원가를 저감 할 수 있다. 제안된 기준에 따라 설계한 인버터를 40인치 LCD-TV용 백라이트 모듈에 적용한 실험결과를 통해 유용성을 검증한다.
