Embodiment
First to fourth embodiment according to fluorescent lamp of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
First embodiment
The fluorescent lamp 111 of first embodiment is hot-cathode fluorescent lamps.Shown in Figure 1A, fluorescent lamp 111 has glass tube bulb 101, low-refraction protective layer 102, electrode 105, fluorescence coating 107 and discharge gas 140.
The similar straight tube of glass tube bulb 101 shapes for example, has the external diameter of 24.5mm, the internal diameter of 22.5mm and the total length of 225mm.Shown in Figure 1B, glass tube bulb 101 has the round cross section along the A-A line.
Glass tube bulb 101 is that 1.52 to 1.54 glass is made by refractive index.The composition of this glass is, for example, and the SiO of 68 weight % 2, 1.5 weight % Al 2O 3, 1 weight % B 2O 3, 5 weight % Na 2The Li of O, 1 weight % 2The K of O, 7 weight % 2The BaO of the SrO of the CaO of the MgO of O, 5 weight %, 4.5 weight %, 5 weight % and 6 weight %.
On the basic total inner surface of glass tube bulb 101, form low-refraction protective layer 102.This low-refraction protective layer 102 has separated discharge gas 140 and glass tube bulb 101, makes that the mercury in the discharge gas 140 can not touch glass tube bulb 101.
Low-refraction protective layer 102 is made by the low mixture of refractive index of refractive index ratio glass tube bulb 101, for example, is 1.2 to 1.3 calcirm-fluoride (CaF with the refractive index of 1: 1 percentage mix 2) and refractive index be 1.45 to 1.47 silicon dioxide (SiO 2) mixture.
The thickness of low-refraction protective layer 102 is between 0.05 and 3 micron, and preferably between 0.1 and 2 micron.This is because when low-refraction protective layer 102 to 3 micron thickness, might will be absorbed at low-refraction protective layer 102 places by light, feasible luminous flux attenuation by 101 radiation of glass tube bulb.When 102 to 0.05 microns of low-refraction protective layers were thin, discharge gas 140 separated with glass tube bulb 101, and as described below, and the total reflection from the light of glass tube bulb 101 outsides all will become difficulty.
Fluorescence coating 107 with the shape of the concentric circle of glass tube bulb 101 and low-refraction protective layer 102, on the total inner surface of low-refraction protective layer 102, form.Fluorescence coating 107 will be transformed into visible light by the ultraviolet light of the emission of the mercury in the discharge gas 140.Fluorescence coating 107 comprises the fluorophor of red-emitting, the fluorophor of transmitting green light and the fluorophor of emission blue light.The fluorophor of red-emitting is Y 2O 3: Eu, the fluorophor of transmitting green light is LaPO 4: Ce, Tb, and the fluorophor of emission blue light is BaMg 2Al 16O 27: Eu.
Fluorescence coating 107 is preferably 3 microns to 50 micron thickness, and more preferably 5 microns to 30 micron thickness.This is because when fluorescence coating 107 during greater than 50 micron thickness, fluorescence coating 107 becomes and peels off easily.When fluorescence coating 107 during less than 3 micron thickness, fluorescence coating 107 becomes transparent, and it becomes and is difficult to launch enough light.
The hollow space of glass tube bulb 101 is filled discharge gas 140.Discharge gas 140 is made up of the mercuryvapour and the inert gas of scheduled volume.Inert gas is used for the pressure in the glass tube bulb 101 is adjusted to predetermined low pressure, and it is the mist of argon and neon.The ratio of argon and neon is, for example, and the Ne of the Ar of 5 weight % and 95 weight %.Mercuryvapour is used for obtaining the ultraviolet light of fluorescence excitation layer 107.
Electrode 105 is arranged in the two ends and glass tube bulb 101 of glass tube bulb 101.Filament 106 is located at the end of each electrode 105.Electrode 105 is to filament 106 streaming currents.Filament 106 usefulness have the material coating of electron emission matter, for example BaO, SrO and CaO.Filament 106 flows by electric current and produces heat and launch hot electron, so that produce discharge in glass tube bulb 101.
Work
Next, the luminous work of the fluorescent lamp of said structure is described.
When voltage is applied to when making electric current flow through filament 106 on the electrode 105, filament 106 is heated.Filament 106 heat of emission electronics of heating.Hot electron collides with the mercury atom that contains in the discharge gas glass tube bulb 101 in.Bound electron in the mercury atom is by being excited with thermionic collision.When the bound electron that excites is moved to ground state, electrons excited emission ultraviolet ray (dominant wavelength 254nm).The ultraviolet ray of emission shines on the fluorescence coating 107 then, has excited the fluorescent particle in the fluorescence coating 107 then.From the excited fluorescent particulate, launch visible light (wavelength is approximately 400nm or bigger) then.This visible light is in proper order by low-refraction protective layer 102 and glass tube bulb 101.Therefore fluorescent lamp 111 sends luminous flux.
Around the glass tube bulb 101 is the air that refractive index is lower than glass tube bulb 101.Schematically show as Fig. 2 A, in the visible light of generation with the incidence angle θ 1 of the surface-boundary of air and glass tube bulb 101 greater than the light of predetermined size (critical angle) by the surface-boundary total reflection of glass tube bulb 101 and air.Therefore this light can not shine the outside of glass tube bulb 101.Angle of reflection θ 3 equals incidence angle θ 1.At this moment 2 of refraction angle θ are 90 degree or bigger.
Advanced on the surface-boundary of glass tube bulb 101 and low-refraction protective layer 102 with incidence angle θ 3 by the light of the surface-boundary total reflection of glass tube bulb 101 and air.
Here, if the refractive index of low-refraction protective layer 102 greater than the refractive index of glass tube bulb 101, according to the law of refraction, has all been entered low-refraction protective layer 102 by all light of the surface-boundary of glass tube bulb 101 and air reflection.
The refractive index of low-refraction protective layer 102 is less than the refractive index of glass tube bulb 101.
Therefore; be schematically shown as Fig. 2 B; according to the law of refraction; by the surface-boundary of glass tube bulb 101 and air refraction and advance in the light on the surface-boundary of glass tube lamp bubble 101 and low-refraction protective layer 102, incidence angle θ 3 also enters low-refraction protective layer 102 less than the light of the critical angle that the refractive index by glass tube bulb 101 and protective layer 102 limits.
On the other hand; be schematically shown as Fig. 2 C; by the surface-boundary of glass tube bulb 101 and air refraction and advance in the light on the surface-boundary of glass tube lamp bubble 101 and low-refraction protective layer 102, incidence angle θ 3 is equal to or greater than the light of this critical angle once more by the surface-boundary total reflection of glass tube bulb 101 and low-refraction protective layer 102.The light of total reflection advances on the surface-boundary of glass tube bulb 101 and air once more.A complete radiative part penetrates from the surface-boundary of glass tube bulb 101 and air.The light of remainder is once more by total reflection.This light repeats similarly work.
Therefore, compare the conventional fluorescent lamp of the refractive index of protective layer greater than glass tube bulb 101, more light can be transmitted into the outside of glass tube bulb 101 from the fluorescent lamp 111 with low-refraction protective layer 102.
The fluorescent lamp manufacturing method of first embodiment

Next, regulate dispersing fluid (low-refraction protective layer dispersing fluid), described dispersing fluid disperses to form the calcirm-fluoride (CaF of low-refraction protective layer 102 in disperseing medium 2) and silicon dioxide (SiO 2) particle.Calcirm-fluoride (the CaF of 10 nanometer to 500 nanometer diameters 2) and silicon dioxide (SiO 2) particle is preferred.Ethanol is as decentralized medium.Notice that decentralized medium can be: water, methyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol; Formic acid esters is methyl formate, Ethyl formate, propyl formate, isopropyl formate, butyl formate, iso-butyl formate, sec.-butyl formate for example; Acetic acid esters is methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, butyl acetate, isobutyl acetate or sec-butyl acetate for example; Ketone is acetone, methyl ethyl ketone or hexone for example; Or aromatic hydrocarbons for example toluene, paraxylene or ortho-xylene.
Be used for to form the particle of the fluorophor that glows, green light fluorophor and the blue light-emitting fluorophor of fluorescence coating 107, also regulate the dispersing fluid (fluorescence coating dispersing fluid) that is dispersed in the decentralized medium.
Adhesive ingredients also can be included in the calcium dispersing fluid.Adhesive ingredients can be, for example, phenolic resins, epoxy resin, acrylic resin, celluosic resin (methylcellulose, ethyl cellulose, NC Nitroncellulose etc.), PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone), Pioloform, polyvinyl acetal, PVA (polyvinyl alcohol), butyral resin or silicones etc.
Adhesive ingredients is stayed fluorescent lamp product inside as impurity at that time.Then therefore may reduce the life-span (durability) of product, luminous (brightness) and prevent reflection.Adhesive ingredients evaporates in the baking stage that next will illustrate then, up to there not being the residual degree of adhesive ingredients basically.
At first, low-refraction protective layer dispersing fluid is coated to the inner surface and the drying of glass tube bulb 101.Apply the fluorescence coating dispersing fluid then and toast.Spray method, immersion process, suction method or can be used as coating method in the method for glass tube bulb interior flushing with fluid.Electrostatic coating method or utilization sol-gel technique of the fluid of dissolution of metals alkoxide in organic solvent also can be used as coating method.
In glass tube, establish electrode then.Mercury and inert gas are contained in glass tube.The end of sealed glass tube then.
Therefore low-refraction protective layer 102 is formed on the inner surface of glass tube bulb 101.Arrange fluorescence coating 107 then in the above, with the fluorescent lamp 111 that provides first embodiment.

Yet, exist by the light of the surface-boundary total reflection of glass tube bulb 101 and air to propagate into possibility till the fluorescence coating 107.In this case, the refractive index of preferred fluorescence coating 107 is lower than the refractive index of low-refraction protective layer 102, even so that for this light component, light also is launched into the outside of fluorescent lamp 111.Incident light is therefore by the surface-boundary total reflection of low-refraction protective layer 102 and fluorescence coating 107.
For the refractive index with fluorescence coating 107 is reduced to the refractive index that is lower than low-refraction protective layer 102,, for example comprising that equably the method for low-refraction material is effective in the fluorescence coating 107.Calcirm-fluoride (CaF 2), cerium fluoride-calcirm-fluoride (CeF 3+ CaF 2), magnesium fluoride (MgF 2), strontium fluoride (SrF 2), barium fluoride (BaF 2), ice crystal (Gryolite) (Na 2AlF 6) and silicon dioxide (SiO 2) wait and can be used as the low-refraction material.
By in fluorescence coating 107, placing the low-refraction material; when the refractive index of fluorescence coating 107 is lower than the refractive index of low-refraction protective layer 102, by the light of the surface-boundary total reflection of glass tube bulb 101 and air by the surface-boundary total reflection once more of fluorescence coating 107 and low-refraction protective layer 102.This light is come the outside of fluorescent lamp 111 then.
Therefore, compare the protective layer refractive index greater than glass tube bulb 101 conventional fluorescent lamp, can have more light to be transmitted into the outside of glass tube bulb 101 less than the fluorescent lamp 111 of the refractive index of low-refraction protective layer 102 from the refractive index of fluorescence coating 107.
