Interior electrode 321 has one first end face S1 along long axis direction L1, the material of interior electrode 321 can be selected from nickel, molybdenum, niobium, diamond, class and bore carbon and group that combination constituted thereof, and the shape of interior electrode 321 can be column (rod), tubular (cylinder), sheet (sheet) or cup-shaped (cup), in present embodiment, interior electrode 321 is that example explains with the cup-shaped.
The material of external electrode 322 is a conductive material, and its resistance coefficient is (Ao Mu-Mi), and conductive material for example is metal, alloy or conducting polymer less than 1.External electrode 322 for example is sheet, cup-shaped or helical form, and at least a portion is with the outer surface that attaches, sandblast, printing, scolding tin, evaporation, sputter or adhesive means are arranged at these ends 311,312 of body 31, and contact with lead W, to electrically connect with interior electrode 321.In this, external electrode 322 forms a conductive layer with conductive material and is arranged at that the surface is that example explains outside the body 31 with the shape of cup-shape electrode and in the mode of body 31 ends, 311,312 tin sticky earlier.External electrode 322 has one second end face S2 along long axis direction L1, and between the first end face S1 and end 311,312, in the present embodiment, be parallel to the first end face S1 with the second end face S2 is example to the second end face S2 in the projected position of long axis direction L1 to small part.That is to say, when external electrode 322 is extended toward body 31 inside by the end 311,312 of body 31, surpass the first end face S1.
Note, electrode 321 and external electrode 322 had the plane of vertical long axis direction L1 in fact to body 31 inner ends of extending in the first end face S1 and the second end face S2 were respectively, and it is a virtual plane (being represented by dotted lines among Fig. 4 B) that the first end face S1 and the second end face S2 may be extended to respectively.
Please refer to shown in Fig. 5 A, electrode 322a can also only some contacts with the outer surface of these ends 311,312 of body 31 outside the fluorescent tube 3a, make external electrode 322a form a cup (rim of a cup is greater than the cup body), at this moment, external electrode 322a can for example be the flexual conducting strip of tool.Please refer to again shown in Fig. 5 B, in order to ensure the zygosity of external electrode 322b and body 31, electrode 322b also can utilize an adhesion layer P to be arranged at surface outside the body 31 with adhesive means outside the fluorescent tube 3b.
Please refer to shown in Fig. 5 C, by cross section view, electrode 322c is not to be the contour cup-shaped of a rim of a cup outside the fluorescent tube 3c.Electrode assemblie 32C with the left side, so the second end face S2 and the first end face S1 of external electrode 322c can have an angle theta, and the second end face S2 is in the projected position of long axis direction L1, and end 311 immediate part N are between the first end face S1 and end 311.In addition, please refer to shown in Fig. 5 D, electrode 322d also can utilize processing procedures such as printing or etching outside the fluorescent tube 3d, make that external electrode 322d is that helical form is (except helical form, external electrode 322d can also be netted, a plurality of linearities and other geometry), the engraved structure that promptly has a correspondence.In addition, engraved structure also can form by the mode that electrode outside sheet or the cup-shaped is partly burrowed.
Therefore please refer to shown in Figure 6ly, when fluorescent tube 3 is applied to a backlight module B, can utilize a clamping part C who is arranged at backboard T to come clamping external electrode 322, the clamping part C that utilizes conductivity is so that electrode assemblie 32 and the electric connection of transformer (not shown).Can simplify the assembling flow path of fluorescent tube 3 among the backlight module B by this, to enhance productivity.
Please refer to the starting resistor comparison diagram of the fluorescent tube 1 that Figure 7 shows that known Fig. 1 and the fluorescent tube 3 of Fig. 4 B, wherein curve C 1 is represented the starting resistor of the fluorescent tube 1 of survey map 1, the starting resistor of the fluorescent tube 3 two side lead W of curve C 2 expression survey map 4B, the starting resistor of fluorescent tube 3 external electrodes 322 of curve C 3 expression survey map 4B.By among Fig. 7 as can be known, fluorescent tube 1 compared to Fig. 1, fluorescent tube 3 surpasses the first end face S1 of interior electrode 321 along the second end face S2 of the long axis direction L1 of body 31 because of electrode 322 outside in the electrode assemblie 32, therefore part and 321 at the interior electrode that can avoid surpassing interior electrode 321 first end face S1 because of external electrode 322 length produce electric field, and electrode 321 produces the usefulness that electricity is starched in the influence, thereby make that no matter the fluorescent tube 3 of having installed external electrode 322 is measured by lead W or external electrode 322, all has identical and stable starting resistor with the fluorescent tube 1 of Fig. 1.
In addition, please be simultaneously with reference to Fig. 8 A and Fig. 8 B, wherein Fig. 8 A is that backlight module B ' changes the aspect schematic diagram, Fig. 8 B is the generalized section of fluorescent tube 4.Though external electrode 422 along the projected position of the one second end face S2 of the long axis direction L1 of body 41 between the first end face S1 and end 411,412 of interior electrode 421, but convenient for the clamping of clamping part C ' (two clamping limbs are arranged), the area of external electrode 422 is unsuitable too small.Therefore can utilize the length of electrode 421 in the lengthening or add the inside conductor part of long lead W, so that the area of corresponding external electrode 422 is increased, be that example explains in this length with electrode in extending 421.By this, can make the projected length of the second end face S2 be no more than the end face of interior electrode 421, but have enough clamping part C ' grasping parts, to guarantee electrically conducting of fluorescent tube 4 and clamping part C '.
In sum, electrode has one first end face along long axis direction within making in the electrode assemblie according to the present invention's fluorescent lamp piping, external electrode has one second end face along the long axis direction of body, second end face in the projected position of long axis direction between first end face and body end.By this, can avoid producing electric field, and electrode produces the usefulness of electricity slurry in the influence, thereby make fluorescent tube have stable starting resistor because of external electrode length surpasses between the part of interior electrode end surface and interior electrode tips.Therefore, if the present invention's fluorescent tube is applied in the backlight module, can avoid the part fluorescent tube can't light or problem such as flicker, to improve the reliability of backlight module.
The above only is an illustrative, but not is restricted person.Any spirit and category that does not break away from the present invention, and to its equivalent modifications of carrying out or change, all should be contained in the attached claim in back.
