Zusammenfassung:In aspects of the invention, a flyback converter configuration LED drive circuit, by adopting a configuration such that anode voltages of LEDs smoothed by a smoothing capacitor on the secondary side of a transformer and a terminal of a drive IC circuit are used as a node common. Current can be supplied to the primary side of the smoothing capacitor by a start-up circuit when starting, the need for an auxiliary winding, smoothing capacitor, and rectifier diode which have heretofore been necessary to supply a power source to the drive IC circuit is eliminated. Consequently, the number of parts can be reduced, meaning that the configuration of the LED drive circuit becomes simple, thus enabling a reduction in size and cost of the LED drive circuit.
