Abstract

The present invention provides an overvoltage protection method for backlight drive circuit of 2D/3D mode and a backlight drive circuit using the method. The method includes: providing a liquid crystal display, the liquid crystal display having a 2D mode and a 3D mode, the liquid crystal display including a backlight drive circuit; the backlight drive circuit using the first overvoltage protection voltage level as an overvoltage protection voltage level when the liquid crystal display is set in the 2D mode; and the backlight drive circuit using the second the overvoltage protection voltage level as an overvoltage protection voltage level when the liquid crystal display is set in the 3D mode, the second the overvoltage protection voltage level being greater than the first overvoltage protection voltage level. Different overvoltage protection voltage levels are provided for the 2D and 3D modes so as to alleviate impact on components by over voltage.
