Abstract

The inveniton provides a cold-cathode tube lighting device which uniformly lights up a plurality of cold-cathode tubes with a common power supply and is downsized effectively by using a ballast capacitor. A substrate (50) is divided into as many blocks (2) as the number of cold-cathode tubes (20). Two conductor layers in each block (2) respectively include two foils (21A and 21B, 24A and 24B). The first foil (21A) in the first conductor layer is connected with a common low-impedance power supply. Between the two conductor layers, an area where the first foils (21A and 24A) overlap each other forms a first ballast capacitor (CB1), an area where the first foil (24A) and the second foil (21B) overlap each other forms a second ballast capacitor (CB2), and an area where the second foils (21B and 24B) overlap each other forms a third ballast capacitor (CB3). The second foils (21B and 24B) are connected to the first electrode (21) of a cold-cathode tube (20).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a cold-cathode tube lighting device, in particular to a device for lighting multiple cold-cathode tubes. Background technique [0002] Fluorescent tubes are roughly classified into hot-cathode tubes and cold-cathode tubes according to their electrode structures. In cold cathode tubes (also called CCFLs), the electrodes are made of a substance that emits many electrons by applying a high voltage. That is, unlike a hot cathode tube, the electrode does not include a filament for thermionic emission. As a result, cold cathode tubes are particularly advantageous in that they have a very small tube diameter, a long life, and low power consumption, compared with hot cathode tubes. Based on these advantages, cold-cathode tubes are mainly used in products that require thinning (or miniaturization) and power saving, such as backlights of liquid crystal displays and light sources of FAX / scanners. [0003] A cold-cathode tube has electr...
