[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to fluorescent lamps, and particularly to improvement of luminous flux deterioration characteristics. [Prior Art] Conventionally, various studies have been conducted on improving the luminous flux deterioration characteristics of fluorescent lamps. The main method is a method using a protective film, as disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 105160/1983. A protective film is a metal oxide film such as alumina formed on the inner surface of a glass bulb, which separates the glass bulb from the phosphor layer and also separates the discharge space, which can cause deterioration of luminous flux. This effectively suppresses the precipitation of sodium, etc. in the glass into the phosphor layer and the reaction with mercury. The particle size of one of the metal oxides such as alumina used here is
As described in Japanese Patent No. 60-105160, a diameter of several tens of millimeters is usually used. [Problems to be solved by the invention] However, as mentioned above, when the luminous flux deterioration characteristics are improved by a protective film of metal oxide such as alumina, in order to further improve the improvement effect, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the protective film. However, as the thickness of the protective film becomes thicker, the strength of the phosphor layer decreases significantly. Therefore, due to the limitations of the strength of the phosphor layer, the effect of improving luminous flux deterioration characteristics is limited. I've reached my limit. This invention was made to solve such problems, and has the effect of significantly improving luminous flux deterioration characteristics without reducing the strength of the phosphor layer.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a fluorescent lamp suitable for use as a light source, such as a light source for display or a light source for copying, which requires particularly low luminous flux deterioration. [Means for Solving the Problems] The fluorescent lamp according to the present invention includes alumina having an average particle size of 0.5μ or more mixed in the phosphor layer in an amount of 5% or more of the weight of the phosphor, and alumina having an average particle size of 0.5μ or more. When D (μ), the amount of contamination y (%) is y≦
It is characterized by being within the range of 80log 10 D+30. [Function] In this invention, since the alumina in the phosphor layer is dispersed and mixed, it is possible to mix the alumina in a larger amount than that conventionally used as a protective film. Improves intensity and luminous flux degradation characteristics. [Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a main part showing an embodiment of the present invention. That is, an alumina protective film 2 similar to the conventional one is provided on the inner surface of the glass bulb 1, and a phosphor layer is formed on the protective film 2. This phosphor layer consists of phosphor 3 and alumina 4 dispersed therein. For a fluorescent lamp having the structure shown in FIG. 1, an experiment was conducted in which the average particle size and amount of alumina 4 mixed into the phosphor layer were varied. The fluorescent lamp used in the experiment had the following configuration. In other words, a 30w circular fluorescent lamp (FCL-
30), the phosphor is a three-wavelength emitting rare earth phosphor 3, and the holding film 2 is a 0.5% suspension of alumina with an average particle size of 20 mμ dispersed in water, which is applied to the inner surface of the bulb 1 and dried. The material formed by the following methods was used. Further, a boric acid-based binder was used as a binder. As a result, the values shown in Table 1 were obtained.
