Disclosed is a display apparatus including: a display; a transformer configured to boost an input alternating current (AC) first voltage and output a second voltage; a switch configured to allow an electric current to flow or stop in the transformer based on a control signal; a power factor correction (PFC) converter configured to correct a power factor of the output second voltage, and output a direct current (DC) third voltage to the display; and a controller configured to modulate a frequency of the control signal so that the second voltage has a target level, and increase or decrease the frequency of the control signal within a specified range to synchronize with an AC period of the first voltage.

Display apparatus with switched mode power supply to adjust frequency of control signal

An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes: a main circuit; and a power supply circuit configured to receive external power from an external power supply and supply operating power to the main circuit. The power supply circuit includes: a converter; and a lightning protection circuit that includes: a varistor configured to have a first rated voltage corresponding to a breakdown voltage of a device of the converter; and a surge arrester connected in series to the varistor and configured to have a second rated voltage, and based on the external power being higher than the first rated voltage of the varistor, the varistor is clamped so that a voltage applied to the converter does not exceed the first rated voltage, and based on a voltage applied to the surge arrester being equal to or higher than the second rated voltage, the surge arrester is short-circuited.

Electronic apparatus

Disclosed are a display apparatus and an electronic apparatus, the display apparatus including: a main body including a display and a connector; and an adapter connectable to the main body and configured to supply power to the connected main body, the adapter including: a transformer configured to boost an input first alternating current (AC) voltage, a switch including a switching device configured to switch a current flowing in the transformer, a controller configured to control the switching device to output a second AC voltage boosted by the transformer, and the main body including a power factor correction (PFC) converter configured to correct a power factor of the second AC voltage output from the adapter and output a direct current (DC) voltage.
