A piezoelectric transformer inverter can suppress ripples generated by the oscillations of a transformer, and can reduce the possibility of occurrence of beats in the inverter. In this piezoelectric transformer inverter, a switching element is disposed at a stage before an inverter circuit driving a discharge tube, and the switching element is switched on and off by switching signals from a chopper-duty control unit. Then, an input voltage is converted into a rectangular-wave voltage having a chopper circuit frequency to be supplied to the inverter circuit, and a frequency of n times a driving frequency of the inverter circuit and a chopper frequency of the chopper circuit are set in such a manner that these two frequencies are not close to each other.
