Patent ID: 7948484

Claim:
An inverter for a liquid crystal display, comprising: a switching circuit that includes first and second switches and converts a direct current power into an alternating current power, each of the first and second switches alternatively performing a turn-on operation and a turn-off operation; a transformer that transforms an alternating current power supplied from the switching circuit into a high-voltage alternating current power; a first protective circuit that is directly connected to both terminals of the first switch and protects the first switch during turn-on and turn-off operations of the first switch; and a second protective circuit that is directly connected to both terminals of the second switch and protects the second switch during turn-on and turn-off operations of the second switch, wherein the switching circuit further includes a first stabilization circuit configured to provide a gate terminal of the first switch with a first constant voltage, and a second stabilization circuit connected with the first stabilization circuit and configured to provide a gate terminal of the second switch with a second constant voltage.
