LIGHTING DEVICE AND DISPLAY DEVICE

摘要

A lighting device (8) including a cold-cathode fluorescent tube (light source) (9) comprises an inverter circuit (16) connected to the cold-cathode fluorescent tube (9) and able to drive the cold-cathode fluorescent tube (9) by PMW dimming. The inverter circuit (16) drives the cold-cathode fluorescent tube (9) while a dimming signal in PWM dimming and a driving signal for driving the cold-cathode fluorescent tube (9) are synchronized.
