Description of the invention (1) [FIELD OF THE INVENTION] The present invention relates to a lamp, and more particularly to a lamp suitable for a liquid crystal display device. [Background of the present invention] In recent years, the popularity of liquid crystal displays has been increasing, especially in portable electronic devices such as notebook computers. Therefore, in addition to light weight and thin volume, the demands of liquid crystal displays require increased brightness. Save electricity. As far as lamps are concerned, the lamps commonly used in liquid crystal display devices are mostly cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL). Generally, the brightness of cold cathode fluorescent lamps will change with temperature. ° C ~ 8 5 ° C in the appropriate temperature range can have good brightness and luminous efficiency, beyond or below this temperature range, the brightness will decrease. Conventional cold-cathode fluorescent tubes are generally of the two types shown in Figs. 1A and 1B. The lamp tube structure shown in FIG. 1A has a closed hollow tube body 1 10, an electrode 1 12 and a conductor 1 1 3, and the tube body is made of transparent glass. A large amount of thermal energy is emitted when the lamp is started; if it is operated at a low temperature, the lamp cannot be maintained at an appropriate temperature, which will cause the brightness to be low and the starting voltage to be too high. The second type of cold-cathode fluorescent lamp shown in FIG. 1B is improved to a double-tube structure, which includes a closed hollow outer tube body 120, and the inside includes a closed hollow inner tube body 1 2 1 and an electrode. 1 2 2 and a conductor 1 2 3; a hollow cavity 124 is interposed between the outer tube body 121 and the inner tube body 122. The chamber 1 2 4 is in a hollow state, and the inner tube body emits heat when it starts to emit light, and this hollow state can maintain the heat of the lamp tube, so that the lamp tube is maintained at a high temperature. 4 The paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210X297 mm) (Please read the notes on the back before filling in the columns on this page) 2) State. Although it can solve the disadvantages of the above-mentioned lamp when it is operated at a high temperature, if it is operated under high flow or high temperature, the temperature in the double tube cannot be dissipated immediately and the temperature is too high: the brightness can not be maximized. The life of Deng e Temple will also decrease due to the high temperature. Therefore, a new type of cold-cathode fluorescent lamp is still needed at present. The structure of Liangyuan lamp makes it still have high brightness at low temperature. It can immediately dissipate heat, improve Huier II, improve lighting efficiency, and save electricity and costs, which is more in line with the needs of the city. Because of this, the inventor, based on the spirit of active invention, was thinking about a problematic "high-efficiency lamp". After several research experiments, Yuancheng finally won this invention that benefited the world. [Summary of the Invention] The main object of the present invention is to provide an efficient liquid crystal display device for lighting. + & @, another purpose of this month is to provide a method to improve the efficiency of the lamp, which can improve the brightness, save electricity and cost. The re-object of the present invention is to provide a way to improve the efficiency of a lamp tube so that the heat emitted from the lamp tube can be used to maintain the surface temperature of the lamp tube, and the efficiency of the lamp tube can be maintained in an optimal state. ^ People.
