An inverter unit including a converter, a transformer, a feedback circuit
and an open lamp lock circuit is provided. The converter receives a drive
signal, and outputs a duty voltage signal accordingly. The transformer is
selectively coupled with a lamp of a display panel module, and receives
the duty voltage signal. When the transformer is coupled with the lamp,
the transformer outputs an output voltage to the lamp according to the
duty voltage signal to light up the lamp. The feedback circuit receives a
feedback signal from the lamp, and outputs a feedback voltage signal
accordingly. The open lamp lock circuit is coupled with the feedback
circuit, receives a control signal, selectively receives the feedback
voltage signal, and disables the drive signal selectively according to
the feedback voltage signal and the control signal.
