An LCD panel module includes a common boosting converter, an LCD boosting
circuit, an LDO control circuit, and constant current circuits for
parallel-connected LED elements and series-connected LED elements. The
LCD panel module is so configured that a type-switching unit can switch
over between Type 1 in which the LED elements are connected in parallel
and Type 2 in which the LED elements are connected in series. The common
boosting converter preliminarily boosts a battery voltage supplied from a
lithium ion battery to a low voltage or a high voltage and supplies the
boosted voltage to the parallel-connected LED elements or
series-connected LED elements respectively. The LCD boosting circuit
boosts the low voltage and supplies it to an LCD panel, while the LDO
control circuit steps down the high voltage and supplies it to the LCD
panel.
