Abstract
In the general input /output bus (IOB) of the liquid crystal screen (LCS), the computer executable form is applied. Several groups of the time-brightness values (TBV) of cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) are stored in IOB. First, the image quality of LCS is tested via the recent image. In case the quality is poor, the instant time value and the instant practical brightness value of LCS are tested. Then, TBVs of multi-groups of CCFL are searched. According to these TBVs, the voltage across CCFL and then the recent practical brightness are regulated. This invention prevents LCS using CCFL from decreasing the brightness due to the time passing by.
