Description of the Invention: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to fluorescent lamps, and more particularly to fluorescent lamps that emit ultraviolet vacuum light. [Prior Art] Ultraviolet rays have been suitably used in photochemical reactions, sterilization, or decomposition of organic substances. In the case of the ultraviolet light source as shown above, most of the low-pressure mercury lamps are used, but a dielectric has also been proposed as disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2000-00 (Patent Document 1). Fluorescent lamp with a barrier discharge. In the fluorescent lamp described in Patent Document 1, a rare gas is sealed in the inside of the arc tube, and a dielectric discharge is generated between the pair of electrodes, thereby exciting a rare gas and emitting ultraviolet light (vacuum ultraviolet light) to excite the lamp. A phosphor is formed on the inner surface of the arc tube to obtain ultraviolet light in a predetermined wavelength region (vacuum ultraviolet region). Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2010-153054 (Patent Document 2) discloses a fluorescent lamp including at least one external electrode on the outer side of an arc tube, which has directivity by providing an aperture portion. In the specific example, it is disclosed that the phosphor layer formed on the inner surface of the arc tube is formed in a portion where the phosphor layer is not formed in a part of the circumferential direction, and is formed into an aperture portion. Or, a part of the circumferential direction of the phosphor layer is made thinner than the other portions, and the thin-walled portion is formed as an aperture portion. -5- 201212092 However, in the above-mentioned fluorescent lamp, since the phosphor is exposed to the discharge space, deterioration easily occurs, and it is difficult to maintain the illuminance stability for a long time. In terms of the main cause of deterioration of the phosphor, it is considered to be due to impure gas (H20, co2, etc.), but especially when using dielectric barrier discharge, based on the discharge principle, the discharge is formed across the arc tube. In particular, there is a problem that the damage of the phosphor is large and the light stability is not easily obtained. [Prior Art Document] [Patent Document 1] [Patent Document 1] JP-A-2001-015078 (Patent Document 2) Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. JP-A No. No. Publication No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Nos. An arc tube in which a discharge gas containing xenon is sealed; a pair of electrodes formed in the longitudinal direction of the arc tube and facing through the dielectric; and an internal phosphor layer formed on the inner surface of the arc tube A fluorescent lamp in which the aperture portion of the internal phosphor layer is not formed is formed in a part of the circumferential direction of the arc tube, which avoids deterioration due to discharge of the phosphor layer and maintains light stability The ground is higher and the life of the fluorescent lamp is longer. 201212092 (Means for Solving the Problem) The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and is characterized in that an outer tube is disposed so as to cover an arc tube, and the light-emitting tube is in contact with the aperture portion. An external phosphor layer is formed on the corresponding outer surface. Further, it is characterized in that an inert gas is filled between the arc tube and the outer tube. Further, it is characterized in that the thickness of the external phosphor layer is made smaller than the thickness of the internal phosphor. Further, at least one of the internal phosphor or the external phosphor layer contains either a LaP04: Nd phosphor or a YP04: Nd phosphor. (Effect of the Invention) According to the fluorescent lamp of the present invention, the external phosphor on the outer surface of the aperture portion of the arc tube can increase its light output as compared with a lamp in which only the aperture portion is formed, and The external phosphor layer is not exposed to discharge, and thus is less likely to deteriorate. Therefore, the light system emitted by the external phosphor layer in the fluorescent lamp can maintain the light stability high and can extend the life of the fluorescent lamp. Further, since the external phosphor layer is in an inert gas atmosphere, it is less likely to deteriorate. Further, by forming the external phosphor layer to be thinner than the internal phosphor layer, it is possible to efficiently illuminate the object 201212092 while providing the directivity of the fluorescent lamp. In the case of a phosphor layer, light having a wavelength of around 190 nm is emitted by any one of a LaP04: Nd phosphor or a ΥΡ04:Nd phosphor, and is suitable for use as a photochemical reaction, sterilization, or organic matter. Decompose the source of the _. [Embodiment] Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a fluorescent lamp of the present invention. In the figure, the fluorescent lamp 1 is provided with a pair of external electrodes 3 and 3 opposed to each other on the outer peripheral surface of the arc tube 2. The external electrodes 3 and 3 are formed in a strip shape extending in the axial direction of the tube, and are, for example, a silver paste obtained by mixing silver (Ag) and sintered glass, or a mixture of gold (Au) and sintered glass. A conductive film such as gold paste is formed. The external electrodes 3 and 3 are covered with protective films 4 and 4 made of a glass layer, and leads W 1 and W 2 are connected to the external electrodes 3 and 3, respectively, and are connected to a power source 10 that generates a high-frequency voltage. . The arc tube 2 is made of synthetic quartz glass having high transmittance to vacuum ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 200 mm or less. Further, in order to further improve the ultraviolet illuminance maintenance rate, it is preferable to use a synthetic quartz glass having a high OH group content, and for example, F3 10 made of Shin-Etsu quartz can be used. Next, a rare gas is sealed in the arc tube 2 as a discharge gas, and in the case of a rare gas, either a crucible or a mixed gas of rhodium and other rare gases may be used. As shown in detail in Fig. 2, an inner phosphor layer 5 is formed on the inner surface of the arc tube 2. -8 - 201212092 The inner camp layer 5 has a region in which the inner phosphor layer 5 is not formed in a part of the circumferential direction of the arc tube 2, and this portion forms the aperture portion 6. Among them, an ultraviolet reflecting film (not shown) may be formed between the arc tube 2 and the inner phosphor layer 5 in addition to the aperture portion 6. The outer tube 7 is disposed in a core shape so as to cover the outer periphery of the arc tube 2, and the space between the two is filled with an inert gas such as nitrogen (N2) or argon (Ar). The outer tube 7 is transmissive to light of a specific wavelength region that is converted by the phosphor. In the case of a phosphor, when a characteristic of light having a wavelength of 200 nm or less is used, synthetic quartz glass is preferably used as the material. Next, an external phosphor layer 8 is formed on the outer surface of the arc tube 2 corresponding to the aperture portion 6. The internal phosphor layer 5 and the external phosphor layer 8 are excited by a wavelength of 172 nm which is emitted by the light emission of xenon, and emit light in the wavelength range according to the characteristics. When light having a wavelength of 200 nm or less, for example, light of 190 nm is emitted, it is preferable to use a LaP04 phosphor activated with ammonium or YP〇4 activated with ruthenium. Among them, the LaP〇4 phosphor of the endowment is (Lai-x, Ndx) P04 (where x = 0.01~0.1 1 ), and the endowment activity? The 〇4 phosphor is specifically (丫1~心![)?04 (where?{{ 〇.〇1~0.11). Next, the thickness of the inner phosphor layer 5 is, for example, 10 to 70 μm, preferably 30 to 50 μm, and the thickness of the outer phosphor layer 8 is thinner than, for example, 5 to 1 μm. As described above, by making the thicknesses of the two phosphor layers 5, 8 different from -9 - 201212092, directivity according to the difference can be formed. In the above configuration, when a high-frequency high voltage is applied to the external electrodes 3 and 3 by the high-frequency power source 10, a discharge which is interposed between the external electrodes 3 and 3 via the light-emitting tube 2 (dielectric) is sealed. Radiation at a wavelength of 172 nm is obtained by the emission of xenon inside. When a part of light having a wavelength of 172 nm formed by luminescence of erbium is irradiated onto the internal phosphor layer 5, it is converted into light corresponding to the characteristics of the phosphor constituting the luminescence, and is reflected on the surface of the phosphor. Thereby, it is radiated by the aperture portion 6. Further, a part of the light having a wavelength of 172 mm is directly incident on the external phosphor layer 8 by the aperture portion 6 formed in the arc tube 2, and is converted into a wavelength corresponding to the characteristics of the phosphor constituting the same. The range of light is emitted. As a result, both the light converted by the internal phosphor 5 and the light converted by the external phosphor layer 8 are radiated from the outer tube 7 of the fluorescent lamp. Therefore, when the internal phosphor layer 5 and the external phosphor layer 8 are formed by the same phosphor, they are output to the outside. Here, since the thickness of the outer phosphor layer 8 is smaller than the thickness of the inner phosphor layer 5, the amount of light emitted from the aperture portion 6 formed in the arc tube 2 becomes large, and the two phosphor layers 5 are formed. The directivity of the difference in thickness of 8 is as follows, as an example of the fluorescent lamp 1 shown above. The arc tube 2 is made of synthetic quartz glass. Before the inner phosphor layer 5 is formed on the inner surface of the arc tube 2, in order to improve the adhesion between the arc tube and the phosphor, a synthetic quartz is formed on the inner surface of the arc tube. Glass is a •10-201212092 low melting glass powder layer (not shown). This technique is disclosed in detail in Japanese Patent Publication No. 20 1 0-05 6007 and the like. Specifically, the powder of the soft glass is mixed with a suitable binder to prepare a slurry, and the slurry is applied onto the inner surface of the arc tube, and the soft glass powder of the aperture portion is removed, and then fired at about 600 t. . Thereafter, the phosphor constituting the internal phosphor layer 5 is coated with a phosphor (Lai-x, Ndx) P04 (where x = 0.01 to 0.11), and the phosphor paste is coated and dried. After firing at 500 to 900 ° C, the phosphor of the aperture portion 6 is removed to form the internal phosphor layer 5 . Next, on the outer surface of the arc tube 2, a paste composed of silver (Ag) or copper (Cu) and sintered glass is screen-printed to form a pair of external electrodes 3, 3. In order to protect the electrode from the ultraviolet light emitted by the transmission light-emitting tube 2, the electrodes 3 and 3 are formed by mixing the 3102 and B2〇3 with the protective films 4 and 4. The layer of tannic acid glass. Thereafter, the arc tube 2 is fired to fix the electrodes 3 and 3 and the protective films 4 and 4. The thermal expansion coefficients of the protective films 4 and 4 are 30×10 −7 (1/K ) or less. The external leads 3, 3 are connected to the external leads W1, W2 so as to be drawn out from one side of the arc tube 2, and the leads W1, W2 are connected to the power source 10, and then, corresponding to the area of the aperture portion 6. On the outer surface of the arc tube 2, the same type of phosphor paste as the inner phosphor layer 5 is applied by screen printing and fired to form the outer phosphor layer 8. -11 - 201212092 A getter made of Zr-Fe is placed inside the arc tube 2 thus formed, and the inside of the arc tube is exhausted to enclose the Xe gas at 13.3 kPa (100 Torr). Further, the outer tube 7 is made of synthetic quartz glass of the same material as the arc tube 2 described above. The single end of the straight tubular synthetic quartz glass tube constituting the outer tube 7 is closed in a state where the sealing is completed, and the light-emitting tube 2 is inserted therein. . Then, in a state in which the external electrodes 3 and 3 can be supplied with power, the inside of the outer tube 7 is filled with N2 gas, and the opening is closed. The fluorescent lamp of the above embodiment was lit by applying a rectangular wave of ν 〇 ρ = 1 700 V, and spectroscopic measurement was carried out by a spectroradiometer (USHIO electromechanical mechanism, USR40). The spectral characteristics of the phosphor are those having a peak in the vicinity of a wavelength of 184 nm. In the third embodiment, a plurality of types of lamps in which the thicknesses of the internal phosphor layer 5 and the external phosphor layer 8 are variously changed are shown in the above-described fluorescent lamp 1, and the illuminance is measured and compared. Specifically, each of the lamps in which the thickness of the internal phosphor layer 5 is changed to 18, 35, and 70 μm, and the thickness of the phosphor layer 8 is changed from 0 to 25 μm outside, and the aperture portion 6 is measured. Illumination. Further, in Fig. 4, the results of measurement and comparison of the illuminance when YP〇4: Nd is used for the phosphor constituting the inner and outer phosphor layers 5 and 8 in the fluorescent lamp 1 are shown. Here, the configuration other than the phosphor is the same as that of the above embodiment. Specifically, for each of the lamps in which the thickness of the inner phosphor layer 5 is changed to -12 to 201212092 18, 37, 55, and 73 μm, the thickness of the outer phosphor layer 8 is changed between 0 and 28 μηι. The illuminance from the aperture portion 6 is obtained. In the fluorescent lamp of the present invention, the external phosphor layer 8 is excited by the ultraviolet light having a wavelength of 172 nm which is transmitted through the aperture portion 6 of the light-emitting tube 2, and emits the emitted fluorescent light. Therefore, at this time, the light-emitting portion by the external phosphor layer 8 and the light-emitting portion from the internal phosphor layer 5 are simultaneously emitted from the aperture portion 6, but the internal phosphor layer 5 from the inside of the arc tube 2 is emitted. When the external light emitter layer 8 passes through the external phosphor layer 8, a part of the light radiation layer cannot be radiated due to absorption or the like, and a loss occurs. That is, the difference obtained by subtracting the attenuation portion due to the external phosphor layer 8 from the light-emitting portion from the internal phosphor layer 5, and the light-emitting portion from the external phosphor layer 8 itself are calculated, To determine the intensity of the light emission output. As shown in Fig. 3'4, in the fluorescent lamp in which the external phosphor layer 8 of the present invention is formed, the thickness of the inner phosphor layer 5 is not related to the case where the outer phosphor layer 8 is not provided, that is, The light output can be increased compared to the case of 〇μιη in the figure. In particular, when the thickness of the external phosphor layer 8 is ΐ〇μηη or less, more preferably about 5 μm, the light output from the aperture portion 6 can be increased. Among them, as the thickness of the inner phosphor layer 5 increases, the reflection inside the arc tube 2 becomes larger. If it exceeds about 50 μm, the output from the aperture portion 6 hardly changes. That is, the reflection caused by the inner egg light layer 5 reaches a saturated state. As described above, when the internal phosphor layer 5 is thick and the reflection function is in a saturated state, if the external phosphor layer 8-13-201212092 is 1 ΟμίΏ or less, more preferably about 5 μm, it can be derived from The light output of the aperture portion 6 is increased. Then, the external phosphor layer 8 is not exposed to the discharge outside the discharge space, so that the phosphor does not deteriorate, and 'the phosphor is more likely to be generated because it is disposed in the inert gas space. Deterioration, stable light emission is obtained by the aperture portion 6. As described above, the fluorescent lamp of the present invention has a portion in the circumferential direction of the arc tube in which a hole portion in which the internal phosphor layer is not formed is formed, and is provided to cover the light-emitting tube. a tube having an outer phosphor layer formed on an outer surface of the arc tube corresponding to the aperture portion, whereby an optical output can be increased compared to the case where only the aperture portion is formed, and the external phosphor layer is Since it is not exposed to the discharge space, it has an effect that it is less likely to be deteriorated, and a stable light output can be obtained over a long period of time.
