<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cold-cathode tube lighting device and a cold-cathode tube lighting method which enable quick and reliable lighting of a cold-cathode tube even under a low-temperature environment by properly compensating a temperature of the cold-cathode tube by a simple constitution and low power consumption. <P>SOLUTION: The cold-cathode tube lighting device comprises: a temperature sensor 5 for detecting the environmental temperature of a cold-cathode tube 2; and a processor 7 which, when the environmental temperature detected by the temperature sensor 5 is lower than a first predetermined temperature, generates heat by predetermined calculation and heats the cold-cathode tube 2 using the generated heat. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
