ABSTRACT:
This invention solves various problems of an inverter device caused by a winding transformer by using a piezoelectric transformer, and also provides a drive device for a cold cathode tube using a piezoelectric transformer so as to enable lighting and light control of the cold cathode tube. In a cold cathode tube lighting device having a cold cathode tube and piezoelectric circuit to light the cold cathode tube, a series resonance circuit is formed at primary side of the piezoelectric transformer. An operation control device is installed for ON-OFF control of the series resonance circuit, by a switching element, at timing with the phase advanced from the resonance frequency of the resonance circuit, and a chopper circuit for stepping-up the input voltage and supplying a power source to the resonance circuit is installed, and ON-OFF control of the power switching element of the chopper circuit is performed by the operation control device. That is, the power switch of the step-up chopper circuit is driven at the ON-time larger than that of the power switch of the inverter, and the cold cathode tube is connected to the secondary side of the step-up transformer.
