A power supply apparatus capable of reducing power consumption and a liquid crystal display including the power supply apparatus includes a first DC-AC converting unit enabled by a driving signal to convert a DC voltage into a first AC voltage, increase the first AC voltage, and supply the increased first AC voltage as a first power supply voltage; a switching unit which selectively transmits the driving signal in response to a selection signal; and a second DC-AC converting unit enabled by the driving signal selectively transmitted by the switching unit to convert the DC voltage into a second AC voltage, increase the second AC voltage, and supply the increased second AC voltage as a second power supply voltage.

Power supply apparatus and liquid crystal display including the same

A display device and an inverter therefor are disclosed. The inverter has a main circuit board having a plurality of first circuit patterns and a plurality of second circuit patterns formed on a first side thereof, and a sub circuit board having first connecting patterns corresponding to the plurality of first circuit patterns formed on one side of the sub circuit board and second connecting patterns corresponding to the plurality of second circuit patterns formed on a second side thereof. The plurality of first circuit patterns are coupled with each other through the first connecting patterns, and the plurality of second circuit patterns are coupled with each other through the second connecting patterns. Thus, the present invention provides an inverter and a display device having the same, which are capable of being manufactured at a low production cost.
