[Note 1] Backlight driving conditions (operating frequency f
L
especially) may interfere
with horizontal frequency f
H
, causing the beat or flicker on the display.
Therefore the operating frequency f
L
shall be adjusted in relation to
horizontal frequency f
H
to avoid interference.
[Note 2] The inverter open voltage should be larger than start up voltage, otherwise backlight
may blinking for a moment after turns on or not be turned on. And this voltage should
be applied to lamp for more than 1 second to start up, otherwise backlight may not
be turned on.
[Note 3] If driving current waveform is asymmetrical, mercury deviation inside of CFL will
incline to one side and consequently abnormal lighting may occur.
To prevent such unfavorable lighting, driving current waveform is asked to have
unbalance rate of less than 10% and wave-height rate of less than 2 +/- 10%.
And this driving waveform shall be confirmed in your system.
