The self-discharge synchronization is defined by synchronizing the self-discharge time of the dielectric wall charge with the voltage rising and falling time. It is shown that for the self-discharge synchronization a high brightness is obtained in the multi-lamps backlight connected in parallel with the EEFLs operated with square waves from a switching inverter. The frequency for self-discharge synchronizing is also shown to increase as the driving voltage increases.
