Abstract:
A backlight unit and an LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) device are provided to prevent the leakage of a tube current by forming equalized potential by a coil, which is connected to portions adjacent to the inverter of lamps while surrounding the portions and of which both ends are connected to a bottom cover, so that the lamps can maintain the same tube current irrespective of the position of the lamps and generate the uniform brightness by the same tube current. A backlight unit(50) has plural lamps(55), a bottom cover(52) and an optical member(54). One side part of the plurality of lamps is connected by a coil(57). The upper part of the bottom cover is opened and the lamps are arranged within the inner space. The optical member is arranged on the lamps. The coil is connected to the bottom cover. The one side part is a portion adjacent to an inverter.
Abstract:
An inverter and a liquid crystal display device having the same are provided to decrease heat generated at a transformer by forming a heat radiating unit on a printed circuit board to flow air by convection current. A liquid crystal display device includes a liquid crystal panel, at least one light emitting lamp, an inverter(110), and a printed circuit board(115). The at least one light emitting lamp supplies light to the liquid crystal panel. The inverter converts external voltage to supply the converted voltage to the light emitting lamp, and has at least one transformer(111). The printed circuit board mounts the inverter thereon, and has a heat radiating unit(120) at the lower part of the transformer. The light emitting lamp is selected from a group of a CCFL(Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp), an HCFL(Hot Cathode Fluorescence Lamp), an EL(Electro Luminescence) and an LED(Light Emitting Diode).
