PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To balance a tube current by the stable operation of a balance coil even when a cold cathode tube has a small diameter and a high equivalent resistance value. SOLUTION: The tube current balancing circuit comprises a plurality of discharge tubes as a load of an inverter circuit 10, and a balance coil 14 levelling the tube current of the discharge tubes. Here, the discharge tubes are cold cathode tubes 12 having equivalent resistance value of 50 kΩor higher when a current is flowing. The balance coil is composed of two windings having same turns with each other, and a self resonance frequency of the balance coil is set high so as to become not less than 1.5 times the operation frequency of an inverter transformer of the inverter circuit.
