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.

Cold cathode fluorescent lamp(CCFL) are widely used to illuminate the liquid crystal display(LCD). Usually, CCFL dimming methods are used to lamp current regulation or average current adjust feeding the CCFL inverter. Switching frequency of inverter is higher than resonant frequency at stabile states. In this study, design of CCFL driving circuit by half-bridge type series and parallel resonant inverter that variable frequency modulation method to control the output power. This method has advantages such as low EMI and reduced harmonics. And it is easy to dimming control use microprocessor. The validity of this study is confirmed from the simulation and experimental results.

To enhance the competitive edge of the material cost, various techniques lowering the material cost of inverter to drive Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) have been developed. In this paper, the theoretical analysis has been done for the existing techniques such as Jin Balance and O2Micro technique. Especially, How to design the value of magnetizing inductance to meet the specification of the lamp current tolerance between lamps has been disclosed. Based on this result, two kinds of hybrid type balancing techniques have been proposed and analyzed mathematically, Also, the accuracy of the proposed techniques has been verified through Pspice simulation.

The Cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) are widely 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. Dimming methods of CCFL are used to pulse frequency modulation(PFM) or pulse width modulation(PWM). In this paper, CCFL driving and control circuit is designed by half-bridge type series and parallel resonant inverter that variable frequency modulation method to control the output voltage current. The validity of this study is confirmed from the simulation and experimental results.

현재 LCB 인버터의 경쟁력을 키우기 위해 인버터 하나로 다수의 램프를 병렬 구동하는 방식이 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 병렬 구동방식 중 Jin Balance와 O2 Micro 방식에 대해 이론적으로 분석하고, 특히 각각의 램프 전류 편차를 일정하게 유지하기 위한 자화 인덕턴스 값의 설계에 대하여 설명하였다. 위의 결과를 이용하여 새로운 전류 평형 방식을 제안하고 수학적으로 분석하였으며, 제안 방식의 정확성을 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다.
