Benefits of technology

[0013]It is an object of the present invention to provide a high-voltage transformer with switchable secondary voltages and a discharge lamp driving apparatus, which can stably keep a plurality of discharge lamps lighting with a single transformer, improve the reliability of the transformer, and secure safety against the isolation voltage between turns of the secondary coil of the transformer and the like.

Problems solved by technology

Continuously outputting such a high voltage lowers the reliability of the transformer, thus making it difficult to secure safety against the isolation voltage between turns of the secondary coil in the transformer and the like.
However, the high-voltage transformer 610 has no function to regulate its voltage.

Abstract

A high-voltage transformer for lighting a plurality of discharge lamps has a primary coil for inputting an AC voltage and a secondary coil for outputting a predetermined AC voltage higher than the AC voltage inputted. The primary coil has a starter primary winding for initially lighting the discharge lamps, and a normal lighting primary winding for normally lighting the discharge lamps.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the priority of Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-122486 filed on Apr. 25, 2003, which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a high-voltage transformer and a discharge lamp driving apparatus which are used, for example, in a lighting circuit of a discharge lamp for backlight in a liquid crystal display panel and, in particular, to a high-voltage transformer and a discharge lamp driving apparatus, used in a DC / AC inverter circuit, for simultaneously lighting a plurality of discharge lamps.[0004]2. Description of the Prior Art[0005]It has conventionally been known to discharge / light a plurality of cold cathode fluorescent lamps (hereinafter referred to as CCFLs) simultaneously as backlight for various liquid crystal display panels used in notebook PCs, for example. Using a plurality of CCFLs as such can respond to demands for higher lumina...
