A lamp driving device includes first, second, and third voltage
converters. The first voltage converter converts a direct current (DC)
power voltage to a first pulse voltage. The second voltage converter
converts the DC power voltage to a second pulse voltage. The third
voltage converter generates a high alternating current (AC) voltage based
on the first and second pulse voltages. The lamp driving device generates
the high AC voltage without a transformer, so that a manufacturing cost
of a display apparatus adopting the lamp driving device may be reduced.
