Abstract

See full text

An electrical appliance, particularly a television or a monitor, having a lighting device (8) having light emitting diodes (12). The light emitting diodes (LED) (12) are collected in LED strings (11) and controlled by a balancing network (17). The balancing network (17) has a circuit branch (19) for each string (11), the circuit branches (19) being connected in parallel to each other. Disposed in each circuit branch (19), is a bridge rectifier (20) to which the LED string (11) is connected. Moreover, each circuit branch has a balancing transformer (23), wherein all the secondary windings (26) of the balancing transformer (23) are connected in series in a closed conductor loop (27), by which the currents in all circuit branches are balanced.
