Description of the invention [Multi-cold cathode device of the invention and the backlight module module of the previous technology [Long Yin Lamp] are based on the technology to make the cathode fluorescent light of each tube of a single multiple tube, The oldest known direct feedback control that makes the current without brightness unevenness between the tubes is controlled in a plurality of examples. The technical field of the lamp (1)] ^ 2 2 2 A multi-lamp driving circuit, especially about a "voltage transformer used in the driving circuit of a lamp officer (CCFL)" Cold cathode glare tube drive circuit. 'Port: and (CCFL') Cold Cathode Fluorescent (used as a Backlight System in the LCD panel (LCDPane 1)). These cold cathode fluorescent lights enter 2 for It is driven by the drive circuit of the inverter. The size of the LCD panel keeps increasing due to the light and consumer demand. Two = the lighting can no longer be met, so two or two are needed to ensure the brightness of the LCD panel is uniform. Must be adjusted at any time: the amount of current flowing through each tube is equal. However, due to the cold second I series, which is unstable and has negative impedance characteristics, the original and I impedance reports are difficult to maintain consistent, causing the impedance of each lamp to change. In addition, the currents between the lamps are not equal, in addition to making the lamps with two currents too large, the life will be shortened, and the Aging Rate will be inconsistent. M A cold cathode fluorescent lamp has Same brightness ^ 丄 疋 ^ each The lamp uses an individual drive circuit and the current of the second officer can be controlled by a common control signal. The fifth picture display is unfamiliar with the use of individual drive circuits. The circuit structure of the cold cathode glare lamp is as follows: The second lamp is the 2 series knife and fork circuit 1 3, 1 4 and the transformer 1 5 and 16 driven by the country. Page 5 1220994 5. Description of the invention (2) Movement and control, flowing through the lamp 1 1 2 The currents I η and I! Are fed back to the circuits 1 3 and 1 4 respectively to control the currents I η and I 丨 to a preset fixed value to achieve the same current effect. However, since each lamp needs to be Each tube is provided with a driving and control circuit, which has relatively high component cost and takes up a large space. A technology that is not required to install multiple driving and control circuits uses ballast (bal last ) Components to reduce the current difference between the lamps as much as possible. The sixth figure shows the circuit architecture diagram of the conventional technology using a single drive circuit to drive a plurality of cold cathode fluorescent lamps, which uses two lamps For example, as shown in the figure, two lamps 2 and 22 are connected in parallel. And is driven by a circuit 23 and a transformer 25. The high-voltage ends of the two lamps 22 and 22 are connected in series with a capacitor 27 and 28 as a ballast element (Bal last). Two capacitors 27 and 2 The 8 series has the same impedance, and its impedance value is much larger than the impedance of the lamp 2 and 22, which is enough to make the current I 21 and I 2 经 flowing through the two lamps 2 and 22 are mainly dominated by the capacitance impedance. That is, even when the impedances of the two lamps 2 and 22 are different, the influence on the difference between the currents I 21 and I 2 is very slight and can be ignored. Therefore, the two lamps 22 and 22 driven by a common high-voltage driving source can be adjusted to have similar current values. However, in order to make the current distribution control more accurate, that is, to make the difference between the currents I 21 and I 2 as small as possible, this circuit will have to use a high-impedance ballast element, so an abnormally high driving voltage is required. The generation and processing of high driving voltage is very costly and difficult to achieve, so this method has not been widely used. Another conventional technique does not require multiple drive and control circuits. Differential ballasts (D i f e r en t i a 1 B a 1 1 a s t) are used. First

Description of the invention (5) 4 0 0. As shown in the figure, the two ends 11 2 a and 1 12 b of the primary side coil 1 1 2 of the transformer 100 are electrically coupled to the excitation power source 2 0 0 and the first side of the secondary side coils 11 4 and 11 6 Terminals 114a and 11 6a are electrically coupled to the high-voltage terminals (first terminal) 304a and 3 0 6a of the lamp tube 3 04 and 3 0 6 respectively, and the second terminals 1 1 4b and 1 of the secondary coil 114 and 116 16b is electrically coupled to a common node 402, and is electrically coupled to one end of the capacitor 400 through this. The low-voltage ends (second ends) 304b and 3 06b of the lamps 3 0 4 and 3 06 are electrically coupled to a common node 404, and are electrically coupled to the other end of the capacitor 4 0 through this, Among them, the common node 4 0 4 is usually a ground point. The operation principle of the multi-lamp driving circuit 100a of the second figure is described below. Since the two terminals 1 12a and 1 12b of the primary coil 1 12 are electrically coupled to the AC excitation power supply 200, an AC magnetic flux is generated in the center pillar 102. The magnetic flux will follow the magnetic circuit in the magnetic core 1 10, flow through the side pillars 104 and 106, and then return to the center pillar 102, respectively. With this, the magnetic flux can be coupled to the secondary side, and Induced voltages are generated in the secondary coils 1 1 4 and 116. The induced voltage on the secondary coil 11 4 is used to drive the lamp tube 3 0, so that a current I 3G paralyzes through the lamp tube 3 0 4 and then flows through the capacitor 4 0 0; similarly, the secondary coil 1 The induced voltage on 16 is used to drive the lamp tube 3 06, so that a current I 3G is passed through the lamp tube 3 0 6 and then flows through the capacitor 4 0 0. The winding direction of the secondary coils 1 1 4 and 11 6 and the unique magnetic structure design of the present invention can make the induced voltage at the first end of the secondary coil 1 4 and the first of the secondary coil 1 1 6 The induced voltages at the terminals have the same phase, that is, the current I 3o flowing through the lamp tube 304 and the current I 306 flowing through the lamp tube 306 have the same phase. Therefore, the current flowing through the capacitor 400 is the sum of the currents I μ and I 300 that flow through the lamp tube 1220994 V. Invention Description (6) 3 0 4 and 3 06. Therefore, the capacitor 400 can be used as a ballast element for the sum of the currents of the two lamps 3 0 4 and 3 6. It is used to adjust the total current of the two lamps, so as to avoid the common V in cold cathode fluorescent lamps. The total current value caused by the -1 characteristic curve is not stable. On the magnetic core 1 10, the side pillars 104 and 106 can form a closed magnetic circuit. The currents flowing through the secondary coils 1 1 4 and 1 16 can magnetize the side pillars 104 and 106, respectively. According to the unique coil and magnetic arrangement of the present invention, the magnetomotive force generated by the current I⑽ flowing through the secondary-side coil 114 is induced by the current I⑽ flowing through the secondary-side coil 丨 6 "" One can offset each other. In other words, when the two magnetomotive forces are equal, there will be no net magnetomotive force on the closed magnetic path formed by the side pillars i 〇 4 and 106. As mentioned earlier, the secondary side coils n 4 and n 6 are wound with the same E number. Therefore, when the current 13 () and l3Q in the lamps 3 0 4 and 3 6 are equal, this magnetic circuit There would be no net magnetomotive force. However, when the impedance of the two lamps is different, or due to other reasons, the current I μ and I 30 in the two lamps 4 and 306 are not equal, a net magnetomotive force will be generated on this magnetic circuit. This magnetic circuit is made of a high permeability material with a magnetic core, and the magnetic resistance is very low. @This: The magnetomotive force can generate a high magnetic flux in the magnetic circuit. Furthermore, the primary side coils 1 1 4 and 1 1 β have a high number of coil turns. Therefore, 'this south magnetic flux placement can induce a strong response voltage on the high two-year green garden two > 隹 return address coils (more detailed & because the magnetic flux is arduous, making the two Inductive currents are generated in the secondary coils 1 1 4 and 1 1 6.

Description of the invention (7) The high response voltage generated by the combination of 1 1 6 is directly applied to the lamps 3 0 4 and 3 6. "The dynamic impedance of the cold-cathode fluorescent lamp after lighting is quite low", and any high-impedance circuit components are connected in between. Therefore, a high response voltage can generate a south correction current, which effectively corrects the current mismatch in the lamps 3 and 06, so that each lamp can have the same brightness. Optionally, a low-impedance element, such as a current-sensing resistor, can be inserted into one end of each cold-cathode fluorescent tube, which does not affect the correction effect of the reaction voltage.
