Definitions
- the present invention relates to a discharge lamp which is designed for dielectrically impeded discharges.
- the discharge lamp has a discharge vessel filled with a discharge medium and an electrode arrangement with at least one anode and at least one cathode. Since the discharge lamp is designed for dielectrically impeded discharges, there is at least one dielectric layer between the anode and the discharge medium. The anode and the cathode thus define a discharge distance between them in which dielectrically impeded discharges can be generated.
- anode and cathode should not be understood to mean that the discharge lamp would only be suitable for unipolar operation. It can also be designed for a bipolar power supply, in which case there is at least no electrical difference between the anode or cathodes. In this application, the statements for one of the two electrode groups therefore apply to both electrode groups in the case of a bipolar power supply.
- the discharge lamps considered here have a large number of promising areas of application.
- An important example is the backlighting of flat-screen systems, especially LCDs (Liquid Crystal Displays).
- Another point is the backlighting or lighting of signaling devices and signal lamps themselves.
- W098 / 43277 also with regard to the backlighting of flat screens, the disclosure content of which is also referred to.
- discharge lamps for dielectrically impeded discharges can be designed in a wide variety of sizes and geometries and at the same time achieve a relatively high efficiency while avoiding the typical disadvantages of classic discharge lamps with a mercury-containing filling, they are promising candidates for a large number of different technical fields of application.
- the invention is based on the technical problem of improving a discharge lamp for dielectrically impeded discharges in such a way that its possible uses are further increased and a corresponding operating method for the discharge lamp is specified.
- a discharge lamp with a discharge vessel containing a discharge medium, an electrode arrangement with at least one anode and at least one cathode, which define a discharge distance, and with a dielectric layer between at least the anode and the discharge medium, characterized in that the discharge distance is 3 mm or less,
- a dead time between active power pulses of a pulsed power supply is more than 50 ⁇ s, preferably more than 100 ⁇ s, 500 ⁇ s, 1 ms,
- the invention is based on the knowledge that there are a number of applications in which, in addition to or instead of the qualities required at the outset, it is essential that the discharge lamp can be operated with a very low luminous flux. For this purpose, it was necessary in the invention to improve the properties of the lamp in such a way that it allows the coupling in of very low supply powers.
- the discharge distance between the electrodes is chosen to be particularly small. According to the invention, this discharge distance between cathodes and anodes is 3 mm or less, preferably 2 mm, 1.5 mm, 1 mm, 0.8 mm or less and particularly preferably 0.6 mm and less.
- Electrodes with such a small discharge distance do not have to occur exclusively in the discharge lamp. Larger discharge distances can also be used in the same discharge lamp, because it is then possible, if necessary, to operate the lamp only with the small discharge distance according to the invention.
- the main advantage of the short discharge distances is that they allow particularly long dead times between the individual active power pulses in a pulsed power supply, without locally undesirably high current densities.
- dead times occur between individual pulses in which the discharge lamp is supplied with active power, during which no discharge burns in the discharge lamp.
- the discharge does not have to burn continuously during the active power coupling pulses; just as little is it necessary for the discharge to end immediately after the end of the active power coupling. In any case, certain dead times without discharges occur in the operation of the lamp between the discharge ignitions.
- the dead times between the discharges are now greatly extended, the average power coupled into the lamp and thus also the average emitted light power are reduced, at least as long as the amount of energy coupled in per pulse is not increased to compensate. Rather, it is preferred in the invention that - even in the case of a power setting which is still dealt with below - the energy coupled in per active power pulse remains essentially constant, ie is not changed consciously. Of course, it can change somewhat as a result of the change in the electrical parameters and discharge parameters as a result of the extension of the dead time, but this does not detract from the invention. Based on the current state of knowledge, it is to be regarded as a purely empirical result that particularly long dead times are possible with the small discharge distances according to the invention.
- each discharge pulse is comparable to a re-ignition, which initially shows an arc-shaped discharge.
- the arcs repeated with each pulse make permanent operation of the lamp and efficient homogeneous light generation completely impossible, the discharge lamp i. a. rather damaged and thereby destroyed earlier.
- the invention relates to an operating method in which, as stated above, particularly long dead times are used, in particular longer than the values already mentioned. This also includes an operation of the discharge lamp with only this low power or the long dead time.
- the invention is directed to an operating method in which the dead time between the active power pulses can be set in order to set the lamp power, which corresponds to a dimming method if it can be adjusted during lamp operation.
- the invention relates in this respect on the one hand to the new design of the discharge lamp, but on the other hand also to new features of an operating method for this discharge lamp.
- this invention it is preferred in this invention to provide one or more further discharge distances in a discharge lamp in addition to the small discharge distance according to the invention. It is particularly preferred, in particular in combination with an auxiliary ignition function described below, or independently of this, to be able to operate these electrode groups separately with different discharge distances. Then different power levels can be operated with different electrode groups or different combinations of electrode groups during operation, and so optimal operating parameters can be selected in each case.
- the disclosure content of DE 198 17479 AI is referred to.
- groups of electrodes with a larger discharge distance can be used for higher powers of the discharge lamp, because better efficiency can generally be achieved with the larger discharge distances.
- the small discharge distances according to the invention are not really advantageous with regard to the efficiency of the light generation. However, this is generally of lesser interest when the aim is to achieve particularly small outputs, in which the absolute losses occurring due to deteriorated efficiency are small anyway.
- the discharge lamp is preferably designed in such a way that the power ranges possible with the different discharge distances overlap one another.
- the dimming behavior of a ballast with corresponding jumps in performance to compensate for jumps in efficiency when switching between discharge distances these small discontinuities can also be corrected if they are annoying.
- a special embodiment of the invention consists in that in addition to an anode and a cathode (further anodes and cathodes may be present), a further electrode is provided, which is assigned to the anode and the cathode for the dielectric barrier discharge is, namely the cathode in the small discharge distance according to the invention and the anode in a larger discharge distance.
- the additional electrode can act as an anode with regard to the small discharge distance and as a cathode with regard to the larger discharge distance.
- the discharges are not only operated together over the smaller and the larger discharge distance, ie simultaneously in the sense of macroscopic times. the, but that there is also a fixed phase relationship between the active power pulses for the two discharges, which is selected in a suitable manner with regard to the described ignition support function of the discharge over the smaller distance for the discharge over the larger distance.
- the discharge over the small discharge distance is very easy to ignite because of this short discharge distance, even with small outputs.
- the electrode under consideration here must be covered with a dielectric because, among other things, it acts as an anode.
- the described auxiliary ignition function also enables the discharges to be operated over the larger discharge distance with significantly longer dead times. Especially in connection with the fixed phase relationship described above, this means practically that the small discharge distance is still switched on in the area of "conventional" powers, with the ignition aid function also dimming down the discharges over the larger distance far below the conventionally achievable power range In the case of very low powers, an even lower power can then be set under certain circumstances by operating the discharges exclusively with the small discharge distance.
- One of these electrodes is assigned as an anode to that in the small one Discharge distance provided cathode, the other of these electrodes is assigned as a cathode to the anode provided in the larger discharge distance. If these two electrodes are sufficiently close together, an auxiliary ignition function in the sense already described is also possible.
- the measures according to the invention which have already been described are supplemented by an embodiment of the electrode arrangement in favor of dimmability even with conventional discharge distances.
- the electrode arrangement is made inhomogeneous along a so-called control length, so that an arc voltage of the discharges changes within the control length.
- a sinusoidal curve of at least some of the electrodes is preferred, the inhomogeneity being a change in the discharge distance and thus in the operating voltage.
- the method according to the invention for power adjustment or dimming method uses the dead time between individual active power pulses of a pulsed power supply as parameters for influencing the power.
- two specific variants for the configuration of a corresponding electronic ballast are preferred. These two variants are summarized in claims 13 and 14. For further details, reference is once again made to advance registrations, specifically to the registrations “electronic ballast for discharge lamp with dielectric barrier discharge - Li ⁇
- the invention relates to an illumination system with such a discharge lamp and a correspondingly designed electronic ballast, the latter not necessarily according to claims 13 and 14.
- monitors and screens come into consideration. There, adjustment ranges for the luminous flux are required, typically 1: 100, which discharge lamps without the invention (previously typically 1: 5) cannot even come close to. Office automation is also an option, for example lamps in scanners.
- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of an electrode arrangement according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic illustration of a further electrode arrangement according to the invention
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic illustration of yet another electrode arrangement according to the invention
- FIG. 4 shows a schematic illustration of yet another electrode arrangement according to the invention
- FIG. 5 shows a schematic illustration of a section of a further electrode arrangement according to the invention.
- FIG. 6 shows a schematic illustration to explain the electrode arrangement from FIG. 5.
- the electrode arrangement shown in Figure 1 as the first embodiment of the invention twelve numbered electrode strips are shown, which are deposited on a wall, not shown, of a flat radiator discharge vessel. You can of course also in different ways on different walls, z. B. the opposite plate inside of a flat radiator discharge vessel.
- the electrode strips 1 and 2, 5 and 6, 7 and 8 and 11 and 12 each have a distance of 4 mm from each other, which is a larger discharge distance in the sense of the introduction to the description.
- the electrode strips 2, 3, 4, 5, on the one hand, and 8, 9, 10, 11, on the other are at a distance of 0.4 mm, that is to say small distances according to the invention.
- the electrode strips 6 and 7 are spaced apart by approximately 2-3 mm.
- the outer electrode strips 1 and 12 and the middle electrode strips 6 and 7 are at a positive potential, that is to say are connected as anodes.
- the inner electrode strips 3, 4, 9, 10 in the closely spaced groups of four are at negative potential, that is to say they are cathodes.
- the remaining electrode strips 2, 5, 8, 11 are at a potential between the above-mentioned potentials, however, significantly closer to the negative potential. For the sake of simplicity, this is indicated by 0 in FIG.
- the respective potentials can be switched, i.e. H. the electrode strips 1-12 do not have to be supplied with electricity at the same time.
- discharges can now be operated via the discharge distances between the electrode pairs 2 and 3, 4 and 5, 8 and 9 and 10 and 11 in a dimming area of the flat radiator with very low powers or luminous fluxes. Since these electrode distances with 0.4 mm are extremely short, these discharges are very easy to ignite and can even be controlled according to this invention with dead times in the range of 1 ms and above. By shortening or lengthening the dead times, the flat radiator can be dimmed even at very low power levels.
- the efficiency of the discharges which has deteriorated significantly, over the large discharge distances, in addition to the relative reduction in supply power (compared to the full load of the flat radiator), results in an even greater reduction in the emitted luminous flux.
- the efficiency of the discharges over the short discharge distance of 0.4 mm is in this example about a factor of 5 worse than for the more powerful discharges over the larger discharge distance of 4 mm.
- This larger discharge distance between the electrode strips 1 and 2, 5 and 6, 7 and 8 and 11 and 12 in turn enables discharges to be ignited and operated, which in themselves correspond to the state of the art, and which radiate a high luminous flux with good efficiency to let.
- relative power changes in dimming of at least 10: 1 are typically possible.
- values of 20: 1, 50: 1 or even 100: 1 and more can be achieved.
- a typical value for this factor with a discharge distance of 0.4 mm is 5. This would enable the invention to achieve relative changes in luminous flux of 50: 1, at best also of 500: 1.
- the electrode arrangement shown can be operated simultaneously with discharges over the long and short discharge distances mentioned.
- the term at the same time does not refer to the individual active power pulses, but only to macroscopic times in the sense of switching the discharge lamp on or off.
- the electrons accumulated by the discharges over the short distances on the intermediate potential electrode strips 2, 5, 8, 11 help to ignite the discharges over the long discharge distances.
- the dimmability of the discharges over the long discharge distances can be significantly expanded to lower powers.
- the flat radiator can then only be operated with the discharges over the short discharge distances.
- the electrode strips 3, 4, 9 and 10 are each to be understood as a double cathode. This cathode separation can also be omitted, as exemplified by the second exemplary embodiment described below.
- Figure 1 illustrates that the electrode strips 1-6 and 7-12 each define an "elementary cell" in the vertical direction in Figure 1, which can be repeated as often as desired.
- FIG. 2 also shows a detail representation, specifically for a second exemplary embodiment according to the invention.
- the twin anodes 6 and 7 from FIG. 1 are replaced by sinusoidally selected anodes 13 and 17.
- the disclosure content of the cited applications is referred to in each case.
- the unit cell corresponds, for example, to electrode strips 15-19, where cathodes would form in pairs when they were placed against one another, but are combined in FIG. 2 to form individual electrode strips 15 and 19, respectively.
- the discharge distances correspond to the previous exemplary embodiment, the discharge distance between the electrodes 13 and 14, 16 and 17 and 17 and 18 fluctuating locally. If it is assumed that the structure shown in FIG. 2 is continued upwards and downwards, that is to say that a sinusoidal electrode has neighboring electrodes in both directions, the upper and lower halves of a sinusoidal electrode 13 and 17 must be assigned to other neighbors. For electrode 17, for example, this means that the “mountains” (in the sense of FIG. 2) have a discharge distance to the electrode strip 16 and define the "valleys" to the electrode strip 18. These discharge distances vary between 3 and 4 mm.
- the local change in the discharge distance not only offers an alternative to the twin anode configuration shown in FIG. 1, but is also suitable for a conventional dimming technique already referred to in the introduction to the description. Please refer to the registration mentioned there.
- cathodes could be provided in pairs in FIG. It is also conceivable to make the closely adjacent electrode strips sinusoidal in their small discharge spacing according to the invention or meandering in another way.
- the electrode tracks were 0.6 mm wide. 80 ⁇ j of energy were injected per pulse. By varying the dead times, it was possible to vary between full powers in the range of 8 W (only with the large discharge distances) and 0.8 W (at 10 kHz) or 0.08 W (at 1 kHz). This corresponds to a dimming range of the luminous flux of 1: 500.
- FIG. 3 shows a further exemplary embodiment, an electrode arrangement in a tubular discharge lamp being shown in a schematic cross-sectional illustration.
- the numbers 21-25 refer to electrode strips that can be recognized in cross-section and are each covered with a dielectric layer. These electrode strips 21-25 are deposited on the inside of a glass cylinder discharge vessel with an inside diameter of 10.6 mm and an outer diameter of 12 mm. The arrangement shown enables different discharge distances to be realized, depending on which electrode strips are operated with which polarity. The following discharge distances are available in this example:
- the ignition aid function mentioned at the outset can be represented here in two ways: on the one hand with the electrode strip 24 as the cathode, the electrode strip 23 as the intermediate electrode and the electrode strip 25 as the anode (in the sense of the symbols +, 0 and - from FIGS. 1 and 2). Furthermore, with the electrode strip 22 as the cathode, the electrode strip 21 as the intermediate electrode and the electrode strip 25 as the anode.
- a dimmable tube lamp is e.g. B. interesting as an edge lamp for flat screen backlighting.
- FIG. 4 shows a further exemplary embodiment of an electrode pattern for a flat radiator lamp.
- three identical tooth-tooth-like electrode tracks are arranged relatively closely adjacent in parallel.
- a mirror image of a three-way arrangement parallel to it follows at a greater distance and so on.
- the two outer electrode tracks of each three-way arrangement or each mirror-image three-way arrangement are connected to common outer connecting tracks 26 and 27 to form electrode groups.
- Each middle electrode path, both of the three-way arrangements and the mirror-image three-way arrangements, is connected to a further outer connecting path 28 to form a further electrode group.
- the individual "saw teeth" are asymmetrical. They have a relatively long flat and a short steep ramp.
- the distance between the two outer electrode tracks and the inner electrode track between them is 3 mm and 2 mm, respectively.
- the smallest distance between The tips of the saw teeth of adjacent three-way arrangements are 6 mm, where the individual discharges (not shown) start when the connecting tracks 26 and 27 are connected as (current) cathode or anode (case I) In this case, it is not connected to any pole of an electrical supply source (floating or floating potential).
- the connecting tracks 26 and 27 are connected together as a (current) cathode and the connecting track 28 as a (current) anode (case II) .
- This causes the individual discharges to burn only between the respective a m closest adjacent electrode tracks of every three-way arrangement, the individual discharges starting at the sawtooth tips and burning to the next adjacent central electrode track.
- Between the two Control variants for the three electrode groups 26-28 can be switched over in a manner known per se, for example electronically by means of relays or the like.
- the following power ranges for a flat lamp can be covered in unipolar pulse operation.
- U s mean the pulse peak voltage, f the pulse repetition frequency and P the mean electrical power coupled into the flat lamp.
- the electrode configuration can also be operated in bipolar alternating pulse operation if there is dielectric interference on both sides.
- an essentially straight electrode track can be provided between the three arrangements. This makes it possible, using a suitable third control variant (case III), to implement an average electrode or discharge distance.
- FIG. 5 shows sections, i.e. without external connecting tracks, a further exemplary embodiment of an electrode pattern according to the invention.
- the electrode pattern shown is of course only to be understood as a section of a possibly much larger electrode arrangement.
- This electrode pattern has the advantage over that of FIG. 5 that it manages with fewer electrode tracks and also has a good homogeneity of the luminance distribution, since — as will be explained further below — the individual discharges with short or long striking distances at almost the same positions burn. As a result, the spatial distribution of the discharge structure is largely retained when switching to the respective alternative control variant, with only a different overall luminance.
- two electrode tracks (29, 30), each with a complex shape are arranged relatively closely adjacent to one another. In operation, they are used to generate a discharge structure (not shown) with relatively small distances. At a greater distance from this two-way arrangement (29, 30) there follows a mirror-image two-way arrangement (31, 32) etc.
- the electrode tracks (30, 31; 32, 29), which are adjacent to one another at a greater distance, are used for production in operation a discharge structure (not shown) with relatively large striking distances.
- FIG. 6 The schematic representation only serves to illustrate how the shapes of the electrode tracks (29-32) in FIG. 5 can be constructed.
- the constrictions can also be curved instead of wedge-shaped.
- the control properties of the discharge in the region of the constriction are “softer”, similar to the arcs of the electrode tracks 13 and 17 in FIG. 2.
- every second electrode track is merely sawtooth-shaped.
- every second electrode track can also be straight or at least essentially straight. In any case, this reduces the number of bottlenecks within each two-person arrangement and consequently the number of partial ent charges during operation. This variant is therefore particularly suitable for very low luminance levels in dimming mode.
- the flat lamp has two parallel glass plates (thickness: 2 mm, dimensions: 105 mm by 137 mm) as the main boundary walls.
- An electrode pattern for example according to FIG. 4 or alternatively according to FIG. 5 or also a variant as a metal screen printing pattern, is applied to a base plate of the flat lamp.
- a light-reflecting layer of Al 2 ⁇ 3 or Ti0 2 follows on the base plate and frame. All inner surfaces have a three-band phosphor layer. A spherical support point is fitted centrally between the base and front plate. The electrode tracks are simply passed under the seal of the glass solder frame in an extension relative to their sections within their discharge volume. The inside of the discharge vessel is filled with a xenon filling at a pressure of 13 kPa.
