In daily maintenance tasks, many people have asked me about the type of backlight tubes used in LCD TVs, their internal wiring configuration, driving methods, and related issues. For a professional technician, understanding these concepts is essential to quickly and accurately diagnose problems related to the backlight system.
LCD TVs typically use two types of backlight tubes: EEFL (External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp) and CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp). EEFL tubes require only one transformer to drive all the lamps connected in parallel, making them more efficient. On the other hand, CCFL tubes usually need multiple transformers to power each lamp individually, especially in larger displays.
This article aims to explain the structural differences and driving connections of both EEFL and CCFL backlights in LCD TVs. The diagrams provided illustrate various configurations. It's worth noting that this content does not cover 12V backlight systems, as their working principle is similar to 24V systems, and thus they are omitted for simplicity.
