Description

The channel architecture of flat florescent lamp
Technical field
Present invention relates in general to the channel architecture of flat florescent lamp, more specifically, relate to and a kind ofly be configured so that this lamp is suitable for use as the back light unit of flat-panel screens (for example LCD (LCD)) or as the channel architecture of the flat florescent lamp of the wide region light source that is used for the wide flat surfaces (for example wide square surface) of evenly illumination.
Background technology
The most preferably in image display device, be used as the LCD of flat-panel screens, be that self is luminous and be commonly called the non-emissive display of " light-receiving escope ", this is different from the luminous emission display of traditional energy self, cathode ray tube (CRT) for example, plasma panel (PDP), field-emitter display (FED) and light emitting diode (LED).Thereby when LCD can't help independent electro-optical device when illuminating from behind, LCD can not particularly clearly demonstrate any image in the dark on its display screen.So in the process of the problems referred to above of making great efforts to overcome non-emission type LCD, back light unit (BLU) is placed in the back of LCD, so that this BLU illuminates LCD from the back side, and allows this LCD on its display screen, particularly in the dark, clearly demonstrates image.
An example as the traditional element of the BLUs that is used for LCD has proposed and has used a kind of tiny tubular cold-cathode fluorescence lamp (CCFL) that has.The traditional B LUs that is used for LCD that uses CCFL to make is divided into two classes: direct projection illumination CCFL-BLU, and therein, a plurality of CCFL are set at the back of LCD, are inserted with diffusion disk simultaneously between CCFL and LCD; With edge light CCFL-BLU, a plurality of therein CCFL are along the edge setting of LCD, so that be dispersed on the whole zone of LCD display by transparent divided optical guide plate from the light that CCFL launches.In addition, in recent years in, proposed its illumination more to be evenly distributed in the flat florescent lamp (FFL) on the LCD display, and used as the BLU of LCD.Traditional flat florescent lamp is manufactured with upper and lower FFL plate, and the FFL plate is combined into the single main body that wherein has discharge space up and down.Discharge space is separated into a plurality of discharge channels by partition.Discharge channel is interconnected by communication paths, and is coated with fluorescent material on their surface, inside, and is provided with one or more electrodes therein.
In order to make this traditional flat florescent lamp, flat glass plate is heated to predetermined temperature, and makes it softening to being enough to by moulding.After this, the flat glass plate that heated passes through to use mould by moulding, thereby the bottom that has a plurality of discharge channels thereon FFL plate is provided.Employed mould has a kind of moulding pattern that can form discharge channel on the FFL plate of bottom in above-mentioned forming process, so that discharge channel is separated from each other by partition, but is interconnected by communication paths.After this, the bottom FFL plate with discharge channel shifts out from mould, slowly cooling, and before baking, on the inside surface of discharge channel, apply fluorescent material.After this, use sealing glue that top FFL plate is hardened with bottom FFL and synthesize single lamp body, so that in lamp body, limit discharge space.Behind synthetic lamp body that upper and lower FFL is hardened,, air make this space form vacuum by being extracted out in the discharge space of lamp body.Discharge gas is injected in this space of being pumped into vacuum by gas injection hole.After this, gas injection hole is sealed.When the one or more electrodes that produce plasma discharge when electrode is subjected to powering in discharge space are installed on the precalculated position of discharge space.
In the said process of making the conventional planar fluorescent light, the flat glass plate after the heating can be placed in below the mould, and the moulding by vacuum forming, maybe can be placed on the mould, and form by vacuum forming and blow molding.In addition, FFL plate after the moulding or flat glass plate can be used as with moulding after the bottom FFL top FFL plate that hardens and close.The discharge channel that is formed on the bottom FFL plate after the moulding can have different xsects, for example semi-circular cross-section, semi-ellipsoidal cross section, triangular cross section or square cross section.
The representational example of the conventional planar fluorescent light by the said process manufacturing is shown among Fig. 1 to 4.
Fig. 1 is a planimetric map, shows the channel architecture on the bottom FFL plate that is arranged on traditional hot-cold-hot type flat fluorescent lamp.Fig. 2 is the cross section view along the channel architecture of the bottom FFL plate that the line a-a ' among Fig. 1 obtains.Fig. 3 is the view that is shown specifically the B part among Fig. 2.
As shown in Figure 1 to Figure 3, the bottom FFL plate 1 of traditional hot-cold-hot type flat fluorescent lamp is rectangular, it has the continuous serpentine-shaped discharge space 2 that is limited on the bottom FFL plate 1, and this discharge space is separated into the discharge channel 6 of a plurality of connections by a plurality of partitions 3.This discharge channel 6 is interconnected by communication paths.Vacuum electrode passage 5 is arranged on each end of serpentine-shaped discharge space 2, and communication paths plays the effect of evacuated path simultaneously, and by this vacuum path, in the process of making flat florescent lamp, air is drawn out of from discharge channel 6.Therefore electrode 7 is installed in each electrode channel 5, and what be different from external electrode fluorescent lamp (EEFL) with outer electrode is that the flat florescent lamp with internal electrode 7 is called as " internal electrode fluorescent light (IEFL) " in correlation technique.Discharge space 2 comprises discharge channel 6, and each discharge channel is the vertical rectangle with preliminary dimension.In the channel architecture of traditional hot-cold-hot type flat fluorescent lamp, because the distance between the partition 3 is mutually the same, thereby partition 3 is separated into the identical discharge channel of width 6 with discharge space 2.In above-mentioned traditional hot-cold-hot type flat fluorescent lamp with channel architecture, the opposed end that has electrode 7 separately forms the hot-zone, and does not have the center section formation cold-zone of any electrode.
Yet, in having the traditional hot-cold-hot type flat fluorescent lamp of above-mentioned channel architecture, the voltage that is applied to electrode by inverter is higher on the hot-zone that the opposed end by the lamp with electrode limits, and is then lower on the cold-zone that the center section by lamp limits.Thereby, on the zone of the center section that centers on flat florescent lamp that forms the cold-zone, produced optical loss.Thereby though lamp provides high brightness on the end with the electrode that forms the hot-zone, this brightness reduces gradually along the direction from the hot-zone to the cold-zone of the center section that is limited to lamp.Thereby above-mentioned flat florescent lamp can not be effectively or is illuminated non-emissive flat display, for example LCD equably.
Fig. 4 is a planimetric map, shows the channel architecture on the bottom FFL plate that is arranged on traditional hot-cold type flat florescent lamp.
As shown in Figure 4, in the bottom of traditional hot-cold type flat florescent lamp FFL plate 1, continuous serpentine-shaped discharge space is limited on the bottom FFL plate 1, and it is separated into the discharge channel 6 of a plurality of connections by a plurality of partitions 3.Discharge channel 6 is interconnected by communication paths.With with the same way as that traditional hot-cold-hot type flat fluorescent lamp is described, internal electrode 7 is installed in the electrode channel 5 of each end that is arranged at serpentine-shaped discharge space 2.In addition, the channel architecture of traditional hot-cold type flat florescent lamp is constructed such that because the spacing between the partition 3 is mutually the same, thereby discharge channel 6 has identical width.In having traditional hot-cold type flat florescent lamp of above-mentioned channel architecture, one of two electrodes 7 that are installed in the opposed end of discharge space 2 are grounded, to have ground-electrode 7 be that the end of cold electrode forms the cold-zone so that make, and makes the opposed end that to have other electrode 7 be thermode form the hot-zone simultaneously.
Yet in having the traditional hot-cold type flat fluorescent lamp of above-mentioned channel architecture, the voltage that is applied to electrode by inverter is higher on the hot-zone, but lower on the cold-zone.Thereby on the zone around the cold-zone, produced optical loss, like this, though lamp provides high brightness in the hot-zone, this brightness reduces gradually along the direction from the hot-zone to the cold-zone.Thereby above-mentioned flat florescent lamp can not be effectively or is illuminated non-emissive flat display, for example LCD equably.
