ABSTRACT:
A liquid crystal back light illuminating device includes a driving circuit which receives a first value voltage at light-on starting. The device drives a voltage stepping up circuit and lights on a cold cathode tube with a stepped-up high voltage. Thereafter, it receives a second value voltage, drives the voltage stepping up circuit and continues the lighting-on of the cold cathode tube with a lower stepped-up voltage than the former stepped-up high voltage. A slowly varying voltage which is obtained by charging a capacitor with a small current is applied to the driving circuit via an amplifier and a switch circuit. When the varying output voltage comes close to the second value voltage beyond a predetermined value, the switch circuit switches to the second value voltage. Thereby, flickering of the cold cathode tube at the time of switching the light-on condition is prevented.
