<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce comparatively lower order harmonic components contained in a circuit current waveform in an LED drive circuit which includes LED rows formed by serially connecting a plurality of LEDs as light sources and drives the LED rows by a pulsating flow. <P>SOLUTION: An LED drive circuit includes a first bypass circuit 110 connected to a terminal (anode) for applying a pulsating voltage of an LED row 120. In a period when a current does not flow through the LED row 120, a first bypass current is increased or decreased together with the pulsating voltage in this first bypass circuit. Moreover, in the period when the current flows through the LED row 120, the first bypass current becomes zero. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
