Abstract
An LCD panel module includes a common boosting converter, an LCD boosting circuit, an LDO control circuit, and constant current circuits for parallel-connected LED elements and series-connected LED elements. The LCD panel module is so configured that a type-switching unit can switch over between Typein which the LED elements are connected in parallel and Typein which the LED elements are connected in series. The common boosting converter preliminarily boosts a battery voltage supplied from a lithium ion battery to a low voltage or a high voltage and supplies the boosted voltage to the parallel-connected LED elements or series-connected LED elements respectively. The LCD boosting circuit boosts the low voltage and supplies it to an LCD panel, while the LDO control circuit steps down the high voltage and supplies it to the LCD panel.
