<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a surface light source device having improved light-emitting characteristics, and to provide a liquid display device provided with the same. <P>SOLUTION: The surface light source device has a surface light source for emitting light, and a drive circuit for controlling the drive of the light source, according to the peripheral temperatures detected at the periphery of the light source. The drive circuit has a drive voltage control part that outputs a light source control signal, by comparing the detected peripheral temperature with a standard temperature that does not cause drifts to be generated, and a drive voltage generating part that generates a flat light source driving voltage by a surface light source control signal. The drive voltage control part outputs a high-level light source control signal, when the peripheral temperature is higher than the reference temperature, and outputs a low-level surface light source control signal, when the peripheral temperature is lower than the reference temperature. Thus, the light emission characteristics of the surface light source are improved, by preventing the drift generated at low temperatures. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
