Abstract

The invention relates to a lamp frequency control system for a display and method for controlling the lamp frequency. The lamp frequency control system comprises a driving control device and a lamp frequency control device. The driving control device has a driving mode selector for selecting a driving mode from at least two driving modes. According to the selected driving mode, the driving mode selector outputs at least one corresponding frequency control signal. According to the corresponding frequency control signal, the lamp frequency control device obtains at least one corresponding lamp frequency. According to the various driving mode, the lamp frequency control system of the invention obtains the corresponding lamp frequency. That is, the lamp frequency can be adjusted to match the driving mode. Therefore, the lamp frequency can be adjusted at a frequency section without the water flow interference. The lamp frequency control system of the invention can resolve the water flow interference.

Claims (23)

1. A lamp frequency control system for a display, comprising:

a driving control device, having a driving mode selector means for selecting a driving mode from at least two driving modes wherein said at least two driving modes are inversion modes; according to the selected driving mode, the driving mode selector means outputting at least one corresponding frequency control signal;

a lamp frequency control device means for obtaining at least one corresponding lamp frequency according to the frequency control signal.

2. The lamp frequency control system as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a converter for converting a direct current to an alternating current based on the lamp frequency as an operating frequency.

3. The lamp frequency control system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lamp frequency control device has a correspondence table for obtaining at least one corresponding lamp frequency according to the frequency control signal.

4. The lamp frequency control system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lamp frequency control device further comprises a feedback circuit for compensating the lamp current so as to stabilize lamp current.

5. A lamp frequency control system for a display, comprising:

a driving control device, having a driving mode selector for selecting a driving mode from at least two driving modes wherein said at least two driving modes are inversion modes; according to the selected driving mode, the driving mode selector outputting at least one corresponding frequency control signal;

a lamp frequency control device, for obtaining at least one corresponding lamp frequency according to the frequency control signal;

wherein the driving modes are dot inversion mode and column inversion mode.

6. The lamp frequency control system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the frequency control signal corresponding to the dot inversion mode is a high level signal, and the frequency control signal corresponding to the column inversion mode is a low level signal.

7. The lamp frequency control system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the lamp frequency corresponding to the dot inversion mode is 44±3 KHz, and the lamp frequency corresponding to the column inversion mode is 33±3 KHz.

8. A method for controlling lamp frequency for a display, comprising the steps of:

(a) selecting a driving mode from at least two driving modes wherein said at least two driving modes are inversion modes;

(b) outputting at least one corresponding frequency control signal according to the selected driving mode; and

(c) obtaining at least one corresponding lamp frequency according to the frequency control signal.

9. The method as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising a converting step for converting the direct current to the alternating current according to the lamp frequency.

10. The method as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising a feedback step for compensating lamp current so as to stabilize the lamp current.

11. The lamp frequency control system as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein said at least two driving modes include a first inversion mode having a first scanning frequency and a second inversion mode having a second scanning frequency that is different from the first scanning frequency; and

said lamp frequency control device comprises:

(i) a converter that is operable at a plurality of operating frequencies, including a first operating frequency that induces electromagnetic interference with the first scanning frequency of the first inversion mode of the first inversion mode but not with the second scanning frequency of the second inversion mode, and a second operating frequency that induces electromagnetic interference with the second scanning frequency of the second inversion mode but not with the first scanning frequency of the first inversion mode; and

(ii) means for adjusting the operating frequency of the converter to a frequency selected from the plurality of operating frequencies that does not induce electromagnetic interference with the scanning frequency of the selected inversion mode.
