Abstract:
A lighting device (8) including a cold-cathode fluorescent tube (light source) (9) includes an inverter circuit (16) connected to the cold-cathode fluorescent tube (9) and configured so as to driving the cold-cathode fluorescent tube (9), using PWM dimming. The inverter circuit (16) drives the cold-cathode fluorescent tube (9) while a dimming signal in the PWM dimming and a driving signal for driving the cold-cathode fluorescent tube (9) are synchronized.
