Abstract
A backlight inverter to light a plurality of CCFLs is provided which supplies a stable clamp current without influence of the CCFL temperature, and which stabilizes the LCD surface brightness immediately from the start of lighting the CCFLs, and a method of driving the backlight inverter is also provided. In a backlight inverter including a plurality of inverter transformers and adapted to light a plurality of CCFLs, two primary windings of each of the inverter transformers are connected in series to each other, and a resonant circuit is formed of a leakage inductance and capacitances at the secondary side of each of the inverter transformers, wherein the inverter transformers are operated at a frequency which is lower than an intermediate frequency between the series resonance frequency and the parallel resonance frequency of the resonant circuit, and which is higher than a frequency at which the phase characteristic curve has its peak.
