GAS DISCHARGE LAMP UNIT

摘要

Gas discharge lamp unit, comprising a transformer (T) for generating a secondary voltage in the order of magnitude of some hundreds of volts, and an LC circuit (Ls,Cs) for generating from the secondary voltage an output voltage in the order of magnitude of a few kilo volts. A plurality of gas discharge lamps may be coupled in parallel to an output of the LC circuit (Ls,Cs). The invention is preferably used as a backlighting unit for a flat panel display, such as an LCD display.
