Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method of driving a lamp, a driving circuit applying the method, and a liquid crystal display device ("LCD") having the driving circuit. More particularly, the present invention relates to a lamp driving method capable of preventing lighting defects of the lamp, a driving circuit to which the driving method is applied, and a liquid crystal display device having the driving circuit. Background technique
[0002] In general, LCD devices have features such as light weight, low power consumption, and low driving power compared with other types of display devices, and thus LCD devices are mainly used in monitors, notebook computers, cellular phones, and the like. The LCD device has an LCD panel that displays images using light transmittance of liquid crystal molecules, and a backlight assembly located below the LCD panel to provide light thereto.
[0003] The backlight unit includes a lamp, such as a cold cathode fluoresc...
