ABSTRACT:
A backlight LED drive circuit20includes a step-up DC/DC converter22for stepping up a DC power voltage based on a PWM signal and supplying the voltage to the anode of an LED device12c, a voltage detector24for detecting a feedback voltage FBV based on a voltage at a terminal22bcoupled to the cathode of the LED device, a PWM control circuit26for outputting a PWM signal to the step-up DC/DC converter22so that the feedback voltage FBV may become a predetermined voltage, and a PWM stop circuit28for stopping the PWM signal when the feedback voltage FBV is below a second predetermined voltage set smaller than the predetermined voltage. Thereby, such backlight LED drive circuit causes no troubles even when terminal to which the LED device is connected is rendered open.
