A power supply device (201) for a light box (102) is provided for the backlighting of liquid crystal display screens. The device (201) includes a regulating DC/DC converter (204) of the booster type, powered directly by a 28-volt power supply so as to deliver directly a 50-volt stabilized DC voltage for powering the light box (102). The converter (204) includes an output diode (208) which protects the device. An energy reserve is obtained via a capacitor (209) supplied directly with the 50-volt voltage. A second converter (111) with galvanic isolation provides a set of supply voltages to electronic control cards (103) of display screens illuminated by the light box (102). A link between the light box (102) and the control cards (103) is effected by a galvanic isolation device (210). The device (201) makes it possible to increase the efficiency of the power supply so as to decrease weight, volume and cost thereof.
A supply device for powering a light box from an unstable power supply, comprising:
