Abstract

PURPOSE: To improve a luminance characteristic and durability, to prevent an erroneous lighting and to miniaturize a device in the display device of light emitting diodes driven with an AC voltage. CONSTITUTION: Respective light emitting parts 1a, 1b of a first and a second light emitting parts in which plural light emitting diodes are connected in series are connected in parallel so as to reversely biased each other and a protective circuit 2 in which a resistor and a capacitor are connected in series is connected to the parallelly connected light emitting parts in series and the AC voltage is impressed on them. The luminance of display lamps are improved and the reverse breakdown voltage of light emitting diodes is prevented from impressing by making either the first or the light emitting parts 1a, 1b emit lights even in the case of either positive voltage or the negative voltage of the AC voltage. Since the instantaneous power of the resistor is set to be low by the capacitor of the protective circuit 2 by lowering the AC voltage to a forward voltage required for light emitting of plural light emitting diodes connected in series with the resistor of the protective circuit 2, the resistor is miniaturized.

As described above, according to the present invention, the first and second light emitting portions formed by connecting a plurality of light emitting diodes in series are connected in parallel so as to be reverse biased. A protection circuit formed by connecting a resistor and a capacitor in series to each of the first and second light emitting units is connected in series, and an AC voltage is applied from an AC power supply to the protection circuit and each of the first and second light emitting units. Therefore, either of the positive or negative AC voltage causes either the first or second light emitting portion to emit light, which improves the brightness of the indicator lamp and applies the reverse withstand voltage of the light emitting diode. The effect is that it can be prevented. Further, the resistance of the protection circuit causes the AC voltage from the AC power supply to drop to a forward voltage value required for light emission of a plurality of light emitting diodes connected in series, and the capacitor of the protection circuit allows the instantaneous power of the resistance to be set low. The effect is that the resistance of the protection circuit can be reduced. Further, in another aspect of the present invention, a malfunction prevention unit formed of a resistor is connected in parallel to the display unit of the light emitting diode, and a resistor and a capacitor are connected in series to the display unit and the malfunction prevention unit, so that an alternating current is applied to the light emitting diode. A high-voltage transmission line is arranged adjacent to a power supply line that supplies a voltage, and even when an induced electromotive force is induced from this high-voltage transmission line to the power supply line, the resistance of the malfunction prevention unit can consume the induced electromotive force. This has the effect of preventing erroneous lighting of the light emitting units connected in parallel to the malfunction prevention unit.
