This paper presents a simple LCD CCFL-backlight resonant inverter. First, in introduction various conventional inverter topologies for the CCFL are reviewed, briefly, and then, in each main subject the proposed inverter is explained, in detail. The proposed inverter utilizes a new class-E resonant circuit with a single-switch and is controlled by a single-chip microcontroller, which is very simple. Moreover, the proposed inverter can ensure resonant zero voltage switching (ZVS) under most operating conditions and performs simply the digital dimming control. It is shown through experimental results that the proposed inverter has good performance for the LCD CCFL-backlight.

This paper presents soft switching zero voltage switching high frequency inverter for rare gas fluorescent lamp using dielectric-barrier discharge phenomenon. The simple high-frequency inverter can completely achieve stable zero voltage soft switching (ZVS) commutation for wide its output power regulation ranges and load variations under its constant high frequency pulse density modulation (PDM) scheme. Its transient and steady state operating principle is originally described and discussed for a constant high-frequency PDM control strategy under a stable ZVS operation commutation, together with its output effective power regulation characteristics-based on the high frequency PDM strategy. The experimental operating performances of this high frequency Inverter are illustrated as compared with computer simulation results and experimental ones. Its light dimming characteristics due to power regulation scheme are evaluated and discussed on the basis of simulation and experimental results. The feasible effectiveness of this high frequency inverter appliance implemented here is proven from the practical point of view.

At present, the cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) using mercury lamp has been generally used far liquid crystal backlight source of personal computer and car navigation and so on. This kind of lamp is more excellent on luminance performance and cost. However, the requirements of liquid crystal backlight due to a light source without mercury have been strongly increased from a viewpoint of the actual influence on environmental preservation and environmental recycling. As fluorescent lamp without mercury, Dielectric Barrier Discharge based rare gas fluorescent lamp (DBD-FL) using xenon (Xe) gas has been studied so far. This DBD lamp has no influence on the human body and environmental recycle. Its operating life is long because electrode is out. In this paper, the simulation and experimental results of soft switching high frequency inverter with reverse blocking single switch as a high frequency power supply circuit for DBD-FL using Xe gas are comparatively evaluated and discussed from a practical point of view.

The lighting industry has become the bigger and more systemized using the semiconductor LED with each control R(Red), G(Green), B(Blue). The communication standard DMX512(ANSI E1.11) protocol of it basically needs the address which can be distinguished between the lighting terminals. The conventional method has to give the address of the lighting any methods like dip switch, EEROM and PROM. Then the lighting terminal can receive RGB data from DMX512 communication. According to electrical characteristics DMX512 protocol has to the splitter every 32 lighting terminals. If 512 lightings is all connected, maximum 16 splitters are needed. This paper is solved above weakness in DMX512 protocol using serial connection all lighting terminals. Also I developed the intelligent lighting terminal with auto-addressing. This was solved the inconvenience of the address assignment and the usage of the splitter. The developed products is applied and selled the semiconductor lighting terminals using ON-OFF control, dimming control, sequential control and rainbow control.
