Disclosed are a power supplying apparatus, a backlight assembly and an LCD
apparatus having the same. A control section outputs a switching signal
so as to control an output of a constant current supplied to a lamp unit
in response to on and/or off signals and a dimming signal and a switching
section controls an output of a direct current voltage source in response
to the switching signal. A power outputting section provides an
alternating current voltage source having a constant voltage to the lamp
unit. A sensing section senses variation of a power supplied to the lamp
unit and a detecting section compares a sensing signal with a
predetermined reference signal to output a detecting signal to the
control section, thereby maintaining the constant current to be supplied
to the lamp unit. Accordingly, the LCD apparatus may prevent
deterioration of an image and damage of circuit thereof.
