ABSTRACT:
A cold cathode tube lighting device is provided which is capable of achieving stable luminance when driven by applying driving pulses to input terminals on both sides of each of two or more cold cathode tubes. Each of currents flowing through coils in each of coil units on both sides of each of two or more cold cathode tubes is detected by voltage detecting sections and a tube current flowing through each of the cold cathode tubes based on a value obtained by adding each of the currents using an adder and a duty ratio of each of driving pulses is controlled so that the tube current becomes a specified current value to keep the luminance of the cold cathode tubes constant.
