1321880 Π) 九、發明說明 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明是關於被安裝在構成放電管之玻璃管的端部之 放電管用連接器，具備有該放電管用連接器之具連接器之 放電管及面光源裝置。 【先前技術】 • 放電管（冷陰極螢光放電管或是CCFL)，例如作爲 TV監視器、筆記型電腦或是行動電話等的顯示裝置之液 晶背光光源來使用。眾所皆知的放電管（20 )，如第26 圖所示，具備有：形成有收容氬氣等的放電用氣體和水銀 的封閉空間（23)之玻璃管（21)、及被形成爲杯狀且被 配置在封閉空間（23)內之一對金屬製的電極（24)、及 其中一端被連接到電極（24)且另一端則從玻璃管（21) 的端部（21a)導出到外部之金屬製的引線（22)、及被 • 披覆在玻璃管（21)的內部且受到電極（24)的放電所產 生之紫外線的照射而發光之螢光層（25)。前述過的顯示 裝置（未圖示）係具備有將玻璃管（21)把持或夾持在液 晶面板的背面之樹脂製的支架，與導光板相鄰，利用支架 來配置放電管（20 )。利用焊接將組束導線連接到玻璃管 (21 )之兩端部（21a )的引線（22 )，而可以從顯示裝 置的電源裝置，將電力供應給放電管（20 )，從背面側將 光照射到液晶面板。 對於此點，下述日本專利文獻1中揭示的金屬製的支 -4- (2) 1321880 *架（放電管保持構件）具備有：板狀的導電部、及被安裝 在導電部之安裝部、及從安裝部的前端向垂直方向彎折所 形成且支撐放電管的引線之電極保持部。放電管的引線嵌 合在被形成在電極保持部之溝狀的嵌合部，透過導電部、 安裝部以及電極保持部，而可以將電力供應給放電管。藉 此’省略焊接作業，可以提高放電管與電源裝置的連接作 業性。然而，放電管的引線嵌合到電極保持部時，對引線 # 施加應力，會在引線與玻璃管之間造成龜裂，經過長時間 會導致放電管內的放電用氣體洩漏之慢性洩漏。日本專利 文獻1中的電極保持部係利用具有彈性的金屬所形成的帶 體來支撐嵌合部，來緩和將放電管的引線嵌合到嵌合部時 的衝擊。然而，利用電極保持部直接支撐放電管的引線之 曰本專利文獻1中的支架則無法充分減少施加到引線的應 力’而無法完全防止玻璃管的龜裂。 下述曰本專利文獻2中揭示，被嵌合在玻璃管的端部 • 之金屬製的連接器、及支撐連接器來將放電管保持在特定 的位置之金屬製的支架。放電管的引線穿過被形成在連接 器的底部之孔部，將連接器與引線予以固裝。這樣的話， 使連接器嵌合在被形成在前述過電極保持部之溝狀的嵌合 部’藉由此方式，就可以透過連接器來將電力供應給放電 管。然而’金屬製的連接器嵌合在玻璃管的端部，使連接 器的內周面與玻璃管的外周面密合，當放電莺點燈時，藉 由連接器’玻璃管的端部會局部被冷卻。藉此，玻璃管內 的水銀集中在玻璃管的端部，放電管則無法向長度方向放 -5- (3) 1321880 ,出均等的光，而會縮短放電管的壽命。對於此點，本提案 人想出，將向直徑方向內側突出的複數個球珠（凸部）形 成在連接器，而在連接器予玻璃管的端部之間形成間隙’ 利用間隙的隔熱作用來防止連接器導致玻璃管的局部冷卻 之方法。下述曰本專利文獻3中揭示的連接器，雖使用目 的雖與本發明有所不同，但具有向直徑方向內側突出的一 對球珠。另外，日本專利文獻3中還揭示的光源裝置係利 • 用金屬製的支架來夾持被固定在放電管的端部之連接器， 電源電路連接到支架來將放點管點燈。下述日本專利文獻 4中揭示的光源裝置係具備有：被附著在玻璃管的端部之 黏接劑、及用黏接劑被固定在玻璃管的端部且與引線電連 接之金屬製的連接器。 〔專利文獻1〕 曰本專利特開平1 1 — 329047號公報 〔專利文獻2〕 日本專利實開昭64 — 48 85 1號公報 〔專利文獻3〕 日本專利特開平3 — 2 8 5 23 1號公報 • 〔專利文獻4〕 日本專利3 4623 06號公報 【發明內容】 <發明所欲解決之課題> 因而，如同上述，放電管安裝到支架時，使設置在玻 璃管的端部之連接器嵌合到電極保持部的嵌合部，則會有 對連接器施加外力而偏離玻璃管的情形。尤其，在連接器 與玻璃管之間形成間隙的情況，連接器容易偏離玻璃管。 如此’連接器偏離玻璃管，則對放電管的引線施加應力而 -6- (4) 1321880 » 容易在玻璃管發生龜裂。 因此，本發明之目的係提供將對放電管的引線施加應 力的事態予以抑制之放電管用連接器及具連接器之放電管 <用以解決課題之手段> 本發明的放電管用連接器，具備有：筒體（1)、及 # 從筒體的其中一端（la)向該筒體的軸方向外側延伸之帶 狀的導出部（3)、及從導出部（3)的前端（3a)開始彎 曲形成之突起部（4)。筒體（1)、導出部（3)以及突 起部（4)係由金屬所形成，突起部（4)則具有貫穿孔或 是缺口部（13)。筒體（1)安裝到構成放電管（20)之 玻璃管（21)的端部（2]a)時，從玻璃管（21)的端部 (21a)開始延伸之引線（22)，配置到突起部（4)的貫 穿孔或是缺口部（13)內。被形成爲帶狀又具有彈性之導 • 出部（3)和突起部（4)，從筒體（1)承受到應力時， 容易變形。藉此，在筒體（1)產生應力時，從筒體（1) 傳達到引線（22)的應力，透過導出部（3)來緩和，而 可以防止在引線（22 )與玻璃管（2 1 )之間發生龜裂。放 電管用連接器的筒體（1)安裝到被連接在電源裝置之金 屬製的支架，而從電源裝置透過支架、筒體（1)、導出 部（3)以及突起部（4)，將電力供應給放電管（20)的 引線（22 )，則可以將放電管（20 )點燈。放電管（2〇) 經由連接器利用支架來支撐，不過放電管（2〇)的引線（ (5) 1321880 22)則不是用連接器或是支架來支撐。另外，筒體（】） 安裝到支架時或是筒體（])偏離放電管（20)時，加諸 到筒體（1)的機械應力，利用導出部（3)來緩和。藉此 ’不會對放電管（20)的引線（22)傳達很大的應力。 【實施方式】 以下’針對適用於被用在顯示裝置的背光之冷陰極登 ® 光放電管之本發明的放電管用連接器、具連接器之放電管 及面光源裝置的實施形態，利用第1 ~2 5圖來進行說明。 前述圖面上所示的放電管（20)，與第26圖所示的放電 管相同’附註相同的圖號，其說明則省略。 如第1圖所示’本發明的放電管用連接器具備有：筒 體（1)、及從筒體（1)的其中一端（la)開始向筒體（ 1)的軸方向外側延伸之帶狀的導出部（3) '及從導出部 (3)的前端（3a)開始彎折所形成之突起部（4)。筒體 ® (1)、導出部（3)以及突起部（4)係以彈性優異的燐 青銅等的金屬一體形成，用鎳進行電鍍處理β也可以用鋁 或鋁合金來形成連接器（10)。筒體（1)係如第2圖所 示’爲了要將玻璃管（21)保持在筒體（1)內的特定位 置’並且增加對於變形的機械強度，故具有向直徑方向內 側突出之複數個半球狀的球珠（凸部）（11)，筒體（1 )裝配到玻璃管（21)的端部（21a)時，在筒體（1)與 玻璃管（2 1 )的端部（2 1 a )之間形成間隙（1 2 )。本實 施形態中，如第2圖和第3圖所示，向筒體（1)的周方 -8 - (6) 1321880 向和長度方向各形成3個球珠（1 1 )，合計共設有 珠（1 1 )。球珠（1 1 )的數量、大小以及形狀，可 筒體（1 )大小的條件等作適度變更。筒體（1 )形 有對口部（17)間歇環狀，從特定的直徑尺寸開始 裝配到玻璃管（21 )時，具有縮徑彈力。藉此’ ί )在球珠（1 1 )抵接到玻璃管（21 )的外周面（： 狀態下，保持在玻璃管（21)的端部（21a)。向 # 向內側突出而與筒體（1)—體形成阻擋體（16) 筒體（1)的其中一端（la)，筒體（1)安裝到玻 21)時’玻璃管（21)的端部（21a)抵接在阻擋 )° 導出部（3 )係如第4圖所示，具有形成爲相 體（1)和突起部（4)縮窄寬度，向筒體（1)的 延伸之帶狀的平面形狀。因而，導出部（3)相對 伸方向’向垂直方向的剖面圖很小，具有可撓性， 9 其上面方向或是下面方向彎曲。本實施形態中，導 3)的厚度，與突起部（4)的厚度相同，並且與f )的厚度相同，但導出部（3)的寬度和長度，與 (3)所要求之可撓性的程度相對應，作適度設定。 圖和第4圖所示，突起部（4)具備有：在筒體（ 心軸（C,)的延長線上具有中心軸（c2)且具有相 電管（20)之引線（22)的剖面積很大的直徑之圓 孔（13)。筒體（1)安裝到玻璃管（21)的端部 時’從玻璃管（2 1 )的端部（2 1 a )開始延伸的引 9個球 以依據 成爲具 擴徑來 §體（1 lb )的 直徑方 設置在 璃管（ 體（16 對於筒 軸方向 於其延 容易向 出部（ 5體（1 導出部 如第I )之中 對於放 形貫穿 (21a ) 線（22 -9 -

(9) 1321880 與基礎構件（31)成一體且相對於基礎構件（31)向垂直 方向延伸所形成之一對夾持部（3 2 )，基礎構件（3 1 )被 固定在顯示裝置（未圖示）。如第9圖所示，具連接器之 放電管（10、20)，被配置在相對向所設置脂二對夾持部 (32)之間。夾持部（32)具有夾持連接器（1〇)的筒體 (1)之彎曲面，押壓筒體（1)，則夾持部（32)會向相 互離間的方向移動，之後利用彈力回復來保持具連接器之 φ 放電管（10、20：)。連接器（10)安裝在玻璃管（21)的 端部（21a)(未圖示）。利用支架（30)的夾持部（32 )來夾持筒體（1)，從顯示裝置的電源裝置，透過筒體 (1)、導出部（3)以及突起部（4)，將電力供應給放 電管（20 )的引線（22 )，則可以將放電管（20 )點燈。 用支架（30)挾持筒體（1)時，透過筒體（1)施加到引 線（22 )的外力，利用導出部（3 )和突起部（4 )來緩和 ，不會對放電管（20)的玻璃管（21)傳達很大的應力。 # 本發明的實施形態，並不侷限於第1〜9圖的實施形態 ，能夠作變更。例如，如第1 〇圖所示，連接器（1 0 )的 導出部（3)，也可以用複數個帶構件來形成。突起部（4 )雖被形成爲從導出部（3)的前端（3a)開始向上方曲 折，但並不侷限於曲折，突起部（4)也可以形成爲從導 出部（3)的前端（3〇開始彎曲。另外，突起部（4)的 貫穿孔（1 3 )，並不侷限於圓形，也可以形成爲角形。如 第11圖所示，也可以將突起部（4)的前端部形成爲Y形 狀或是U形狀的缺口部。如第12圖所示，也可以在導出 -12- (10) 1321880 部（3)的一部分形成曲折部（18)，也可以在突起部（4 )或是在突起部（4)與導出部（3)的兩方形成曲折部（ 18)(未圖示）。曲折部（18)利用本身的彈性，就可更 加緩和傳達到筒體（1 )與突起部（4 )之間的應力。另外 ’放電管（20 )點燈或熄燈時，利用熱膨脹使玻璃管（2 1 )延伸或收縮’但向放電管（20)的長度方向伸縮之曲折 部（18)，吸收玻璃管（21)的延伸或收縮量，藉由玻璃 # 管（2 1 )的延伸或收縮，可以減輕施加到玻璃管（2 1 )的 應力。與日本專利文獻1中的電極保持部同樣，如第13 圖所示。也可以將從基礎構件（31)向垂直方向曲折所形 成之帶體（33)形成在支架（30)。利用被形成在帶體（ 33)的前端部之支撐部（34)，支撐連接器（1〇)的導出 部（3)或是突起部（4)，緩和連接時的衝擊，而可將連 接器（10)與支架（30)相連接。支撐部（34)與連接器 (10)的導出部（3)或是突起部（4)用焊材來固裝過後 Φ ，則可以將具連接器之放電管（10、20)固定在支架（30 )。圖示的具連接器之放電管（10、20)則是突起部（4 )和引線（22 )在組裝到顯示裝置之前就用焊材（5 )加 以固裝’不過也可以在組裝到顯示裝置之後才用焊材（5 )加以固裝。 依據第1〜13圖的實施形態，可以透過支架（30)和 連接器（10)，將電力供應給放電管（20)的電極（24) ’又可以提高放電管（20)與電源裝置的連接作業性。然 而’玻璃管（21)內所充塡的放電用氣體，當放電管（20 -13- (11) 1321880 )未點燈時爲非導電體，不過放電管（20)點燈時成爲導 電體’故與介電質也就是與玻璃管（21)的外周面相鄰配 置金屬製的連接器等的導電體，則會在玻璃管（21)內所 充塡的放電用氣體、玻璃管（21)以及筒體（1)間產生 游離電容量（寄生電容量）。也會有放電管（20)中，對 電極（24 )施加1 000 V的高電壓的情形，利用高頻放電 來將放電管（20)點燈時，產生與游離電容量成正比例漏 φ 電流。其結果，會有放電管（20)點燈之變頻電路的電力 效率降低的問題。 放電管點燈時，在離電極的前端部僅隔開一些距離的 位置產生電漿（光柱），但依據前述過的曰本專利文獻4 ，因連接器所開口的端部不會比電極的前端部還要延伸， 所以可以防止電漿與連接器之間產生游離電容量。然而， 曰本專利文獻4中所揭示的連接器，插裝在玻璃管的端部 之連接器之軸方向的長度短於過去的連接器，故必須在玻 # 璃管與連接器之間配置黏接劑，將連接器固定在玻璃管的 端部。由矽氧樹脂所組成的黏接劑，會有放電管點燈導致 的加熱或紫外線造成劣化之虞。另外，經由黏接劑和玻璃 管被封包在連接器之放電管的電極部分，會在放電用氣體 、玻璃管、黏接劑以及連接器間產生游離電容量，無法充 分減少游離電容量。 以下，針對本發明的放電管用連接器、具連接器之放 電管及面光源裝置之另外的實施形態’用第I4〜25圖來進 行說明。依據本發明另外的實施形態’可以提供減少金屬 -14- (12) 1321880 製的連接器（10)安裝在玻璃管（21)的端部（21a)所 產生的游離電容量之放電管用連接器（1〇)、具連接器之 放電管（10、20)及面光源裝置（〗〇、20、30)。 如第1 4圖所示，本實施形態的連接器（1 〇 )係由封 包玻璃管（21)的端部（21a)之中空的筒體（1)和連接 部（2)所形成’連接部（2)具備有：從筒體（1)的其 中一端（la)開始向筒體（1)的軸方向外側延伸之帶狀 • 的導出部（3)、及從導出部（3)的前端（3a)開始曲折 或彎曲所形成之突起部（4)。筒體（1)係如第15圖所 示，具有向直徑方向內側突出之複數個半球狀的球珠（11 )，當筒體（1)裝配到玻璃管（21)的端部（21a)時， 球珠（11)的頂部接觸到玻璃管（21)的外周面來相互固 定。進而，在未設有球珠（11)之筒體（1)的內周面（ 1 b )與玻璃管（2 1 )的端部（2 1 a )之間形成間隙（1 2 ) 〇 # 本實施形態中，如第15〜17圖所示，在筒體（1 )的 周方向上形成4個球珠（11)及在長度方向上形成3個球 珠（11)，合計共設有12個球珠（11)。當將筒體（1) 安裝到玻璃管（21)的端部（21〇時，利用球珠（11) 使筒體（1)與玻璃管（21)隔開一定距離，在筒體（1) 與玻璃管（21 )之間，形成間隙（12 )造成的空洞（空氣 層）。 游離電容量的大小’與被配置在放電氣體與筒體（1 )之間之介電質的介電常數成正比例，與放電氣體與筒體 -15- (13) 1321880 (1)的隔開距離成反比例。過去的連接器 3.7〜10.0程度的玻璃管及介電常數3.5〜5.0 脂所組成之黏接劑被配置在放電用氣體與連 實施形態的連接器（〗〇 )則是在放電用氣體 ，與玻璃管（21)相鄰接，形成介電常數1 層，並且利用球珠（Π)來將筒體（1)與 予以隔開一定距離，所以可以比過去更加抑 φ 10)安裝到放電管（20)所產生的游離電宅 )與玻璃管（21)的隔開距離係依據放電管 變頻電路所要求的電力效率作適度設定，不 1)的內周面與玻璃管（21)的外周面（2U 的增大，放電用氣體、玻璃管（21)以及 生的游離電容量減少，可以提高電力效率。 連接器（10)係具有呈圓形被形成在存 數個開口部（1 4 )，開口部（1 4 )則是將玻 # 外周面（21b)露出到外部。開口部（I4) 珠（11)與球珠（11)之間擴散，防止筒骨 強度局部明顯降低。本實施形態係如第1 5 體（1 )所對向的各側面形成7個開口部（ 形成3個開口部（14)，合計共設有17個 )，不過開口部（1 4 )的數量、大小以及形 筒體（1 )的大小和強度等的條件作適度變 體、玻璃管（21 )以及筒體（1 )間所產生 ，與對向於玻璃管（21)之筒體（1)的表 係由介電常數 程度的矽氧樹 接器之間，本 與連接器之間 • 〇程度的空氣 玻璃管（2 I) 制將連接器（ 麥量。筒體（1 (20)點燈之 過隨著筒體（ > )之隔開距離 S體（1 )所產 5體（1 )之複 璃管（21 )的 被形成爲向球 I ( 1 )的機械 圖所示，在筒 1 4 )及在底面 的開口部（14 狀，可以依據 更。放電用氣 的游離電容量 面積成正比例 • 16 -

There are beads (1 1 ). The number, size, and shape of the balls (1 1 ) can be appropriately changed depending on the conditions of the size of the cylinder (1). The cylindrical body (1) has a pair of mouth portions (17) intermittently ring-shaped, and has a reduced-diameter elastic force when assembled to a glass tube (21) from a specific diameter. By this, the ball (1 1 ) abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the glass tube (21 ) (: in the state, it is held at the end (21a) of the glass tube (21). Body (1) - Body Forming Barrier (16) One end (la) of the barrel (1), when the barrel (1) is attached to the glass 21), the end (21a) of the glass tube (21) abuts (Blocking) The lead-out portion (3) has a strip-like planar shape formed so that the phase body (1) and the protrusion portion (4) are narrowed and extended toward the cylindrical body (1) as shown in Fig. 4 . Therefore, the cross-sectional view of the lead-out portion (3) in the direction of the perpendicular direction is small and flexible, and 9 is curved in the upper direction or the lower direction. In the present embodiment, the thickness of the guide 3) is the same as the thickness of the protrusion (4), and is the same as the thickness of f), but the width and length of the lead portion (3) and the flexibility required for (3) The degree corresponds to the appropriate setting. As shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 4, the projection (4) is provided with a section having a central axis (c2) on the extension of the cylindrical body (C) and having a lead (22) of the phase electric tube (20). a circular hole (13) of a large diameter. When the cylinder (1) is attached to the end of the glass tube (21), it leads to 9 pieces extending from the end (2 1 a ) of the glass tube (2 1 ). The ball is placed on the glass tube in accordance with the diameter of the body (1 lb) which has an expanded diameter (the body (for the direction of the cylinder axis, the extension is easy to the exit portion (5 body (1 derivation portion as I)) The through-shape (21a) line (22 -9 - (7) 1321880) is disposed in the protrusion (the through hole (13) of the crucible. The size of the through hole (13) is a measure of the lead of the discharge tube (20) ( 22) The workability when passing through the through hole (13) of the projection (4) and the workability when the lead (22) and the projection (4) are connected by the welding material (5) are appropriately set. The lead-out portion (3) and the protrusion portion (4) which are formed into a strip shape and have elasticity and flexibility are easily deformed by an external force, so that the barrel (1) deviates from the glass tube (21) when the 'outlet portion (3) and Protrusion (4 ) It is easy to bend, • Prevents a strong external force from being applied to the lead wire (22). As a result, the glass tube (21) is prevented from being cracked. In addition, a plurality of balls (11) protruding inward in the diametrical direction are formed in the cylinder ( 1), a gap (1 2 ) is formed between the cylindrical body (1) and the end portion (2 1 a ) of the glass tube ( 2 1 ), and the heat is prevented by the gap (1 2 ) to prevent the cylindrical body (1) The local cooling of the glass tube (21) causes the characteristic variation of the discharge tube (20) to be suppressed. In particular, the discharge tube (10, 20) with a connector described later is fixed to the holder (3〇), the glass tube ( The heat of 21) is transmitted to the display device side through the bracket (30). The present invention utilizes the heat insulation of the gap (12) to prevent heat from being transmitted from the glass tube (21) to the bracket (30). It is possible to prevent local cooling of the glass tube (21). When the connector (10) is manufactured, as shown in Fig. 5, the lead-out portion (3), the protrusion portion (4), and the stopper are formed by press molding. The body member (16) is integrally formed into a plate member (6). Secondly, the plate member (6) is bent into a ring shape to form a cylinder via a bending process (]), and then the protrusion (4) and the barrier (16) are bent to form the connector (10) shown in Fig. 6. The connector (10) is attached to the discharge tube (20) to assemble the connector -10- (8) 1321880 When the discharge tube (10, 20) of the connector is installed, as shown in Figure 7(a) and Figure 7(b), install the barrel (1) of the connector (1〇) The lead portion (3) is disposed at the end of the glass tube (21) in parallel with the lead (22) of the discharge tube (20). The lead (22) is passed through the through hole of the protrusion (4) ( 16) inside. At this time, until the end portion (2la) of the glass tube (21) abuts against the barrier body (16), the discharge tube (2) is inserted from the other end (lc) of the cylindrical body (1).

Next, the protrusion (4) and the lead (22) are fixed by a solder material (5) such as solder, and the connector (1) is electrically connected to the lead (22) of the discharge tube (20). As shown in Fig. 7(c) and Fig. 7(d), at least the through hole (13) of the protrusion (4) and the portion of the lead (22) are immersed in the welding material (5) of the melt, After the solder material (5) adhering to the inside of the through hole (13) of the protrusion (4) is cooled, the protrusion (4) can be connected to the lead (22). In the past, the lead wire (22) of the 0 discharge tube (2 〇) was connected to the bundle wire by hand solder, but the cylinder (1) was mounted after the end (21a) of the glass tube (21), and the protrusion was raised. The through hole (13) and the lead wire (22) of the portion (4) are immersed in the welding material (5) of the melt. 'If the cooling is completed, the lead wire (η) can be connected to the connector (1〇). It is simpler and can reduce manufacturing costs. When the discharge tube (10' 20) having the connector is assembled to the display device, a metal holder (30) is disposed adjacent to the light guide plate on the rear surface of the liquid crystal panel. The bracket (30) is connected to the power supply device of the display device through wiring. As shown in Fig. 8, the bracket (30) is provided with a base member (31), and -11 - (9) 1321880 which are integrally formed with the base member (31) and extend in the vertical direction with respect to the base member (31). One of the pair of clamping portions (32) and the base member (31) are fixed to a display device (not shown). As shown in Fig. 9, the discharge tube (10, 20) having the connector is disposed between the opposing pair of grease holding portions (32). The clamping portion (32) has a curved surface of the cylinder (1) holding the connector (1), and when the cylinder (1) is pressed, the clamping portion (32) moves in a direction away from each other, and then utilizes The elastic force is restored to hold the φ discharge tube (10, 20:) with the connector. The connector (10) is attached to the end (21a) of the glass tube (21) (not shown). The cylinder (1) is held by the nip portion (32) of the bracket (30), and the power supply is supplied from the power supply device of the display device through the cylinder (1), the lead portion (3), and the protrusion portion (4). The discharge tube (20) can be lit by feeding the lead (22) of the discharge tube (20). When the cylinder (1) is held by the bracket (30), the external force applied to the lead (22) through the cylinder (1) is relieved by the lead-out portion (3) and the projection portion (4), and the discharge tube is not provided. The glass tube (21) conveys a large amount of stress. The embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments of the first to ninth embodiments, and can be modified. For example, as shown in Fig. 1, the lead portion (3) of the connector (10) may be formed by a plurality of belt members. The protruding portion (4) is formed to be bent upward from the front end (3a) of the lead-out portion (3), but is not limited to the meandering, and the protruding portion (4) may be formed from the front end of the lead-out portion (3) ( Further, the through hole (13) of the protrusion (4) is not limited to a circular shape, and may be formed in an angular shape. As shown in Fig. 11, the front end of the protrusion (4) may be used. The portion is formed into a Y-shaped or U-shaped notch portion. As shown in Fig. 12, a portion of the -12-(10) 1321880 portion (3) may be formed to form a meandering portion (18), or may be in the protruding portion ( 4) A meandering portion (18) (not shown) is formed on both the protruding portion (4) and the lead-out portion (3). The bent portion (18) can be more easily conveyed to the cylinder by its own elasticity ( 1) stress with the protrusion (4). When the discharge tube (20) is turned on or off, the glass tube (2 1 ) is extended or contracted by thermal expansion but is stretched to the length of the discharge tube (20). The meandering portion (18) absorbs the amount of extension or contraction of the glass tube (21), and can be relieved by the extension or contraction of the glass #2 (2 1 ) The stress applied to the glass tube (2 1 ) is the same as that of the electrode holding portion of Japanese Patent Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 1, as shown in Fig. 13. The belt body (33) which is formed by bending the base member (31) in the vertical direction may be used. The bracket (30) is formed by the support portion (34) formed at the front end portion of the belt body (33), and supports the lead portion (3) or the protrusion portion (4) of the connector (1) to ease the connection. The connector (10) can be connected to the bracket (30). The support portion (34) and the lead-out portion (3) or the protrusion portion (4) of the connector (10) are fixed by welding consumables. Φ, the discharge tube (10, 20) with the connector can be fixed to the bracket (30). The illustrated discharge tube (10, 20) with the connector is the protrusion (4) and the lead (22) Before being assembled into the display device, it is fixed by the welding material (5). However, it can be fixed by the welding material (5) after being assembled into the display device. According to the embodiment of Figures 1 to 13, the bracket can be transmitted through the bracket ( 30) and the connector (10), supplying electric power to the electrode (24) of the discharge tube (20) 'can further improve the connection between the discharge tube (20) and the power supply device Workability. However, the discharge gas filled in the glass tube (21) is a non-conducting body when the discharge tube (20 -13-(11) 1321880) is not lit, but the discharge tube (20) is lit. When it is a conductor, a conductor such as a metal connector is placed adjacent to the outer peripheral surface of the glass tube (21), and the discharge gas is filled in the glass tube (21). A free electric capacity (parasitic capacitance) is generated between the glass tube (21) and the cylindrical body (1). In the discharge tube (20), a high voltage of 1 000 V is applied to the electrode (24), and a high frequency is used. When discharging to discharge the discharge tube (20), a current φ current proportional to the free capacitance is generated. As a result, there is a problem that the power efficiency of the inverter circuit that is lit by the discharge tube (20) is lowered. When the discharge tube is lit, a plasma (light column) is generated at a position separated from the front end portion of the electrode by a distance, but according to the aforementioned Patent Document 4, the end portion of the connector is not more than the electrode. The front end portion is also extended so that free electric capacity between the plasma and the connector can be prevented. However, in the connector disclosed in Patent Document 4, the length of the connector inserted in the end portion of the glass tube is shorter than that of the connector in the past, so it is necessary to arrange between the glass tube and the connector. Adhesive to secure the connector to the end of the glass tube. The adhesive composed of the epoxy resin may cause deterioration due to heating or ultraviolet rays caused by the discharge of the discharge tube. Further, the electrode portion of the discharge tube of the connector is sealed by the adhesive and the glass tube, and a free capacitance is generated between the discharge gas, the glass tube, the adhesive, and the connector, and the free capacitance cannot be sufficiently reduced. Hereinafter, another embodiment of the discharge tube connector, the discharge tube having the connector, and the surface light source device of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. According to another embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide a connector for a discharge tube which reduces the free electric capacity generated by the connector (10) of the metal tube 14- (12) 1321880 mounted on the end portion (21a) of the glass tube (21).

At the time, the top of the ball (11) contacts the outer peripheral surface of the glass tube (21) to be fixed to each other. Further, a gap (1 2 ) is formed between the inner circumferential surface ( 1 b ) of the cylindrical body (1) where the ball (11) is not provided and the end portion (2 1 a ) of the glass tube (2 1 ). In the present embodiment, as shown in Figs. 15 to 17, four balls (11) are formed in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical body (1), and three balls (11) are formed in the longitudinal direction. 12 balls (11). When the cylinder (1) is attached to the end of the glass tube (21) (21 ,, the cylinder (1) is separated from the glass tube (21) by a ball (11) at a certain distance in the cylinder (1) Between the glass tube (21), a void (air layer) caused by the gap (12) is formed. The magnitude of the free capacitance is the dielectric of the dielectric disposed between the discharge gas and the cylinder (1). The constant is proportional to the distance between the discharge gas and the cylinder -15- (13) 1321880 (1). The past connector has a thickness of 3.7 to 10.0 and a dielectric constant of 3.5 to 5.0. The connection agent is disposed in the discharge gas and the connector of the embodiment (ie, the discharge gas) is adjacent to the glass tube (21) to form a dielectric constant of 1 layer, and the ball is used. To separate the cylinder (1) from a certain distance, so it can be more φ than in the past. 10) The distance between the free electric house installed in the discharge tube (20) and the glass tube (21) is based on the discharge. The power efficiency required by the tube frequency conversion circuit is appropriately set, not the inner circumferential surface of the 1) and the outer circumferential surface of the glass tube (21) (2U Large, discharge gas, glass tube (21), and raw free capacitance are reduced, and power efficiency can be improved.

The embodiment is not limited to the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to 2, and can be changed. For example, as shown in the connector (40) of Fig. 2, the opening (H) may be replaced. In the cylinder (1) -19· (17) 1321880, a plurality of ridges (recesses) (15) protruding outward in the diametrical direction are formed. The ridges (15) are formed such that a part of the cylinder (1) is bent outward. In the hemispherical shape, when the cylindrical body (1) is attached to the end portion (21a) of the glass tube (21), the distance between a portion of the cylindrical body (1) where the raised edge (15) is formed and the glass tube (21) is added. By separating the distance, the free capacitance generated by the connector (40) can be reduced similarly to the opening (14). When the opening (14) is provided in the cylinder (]), the connector (10) is manufactured. The residue of the metal plate formed by the opening φ portion (14) is generated, but instead of the opening portion (14), a ridge (15) having no through hole is formed, so that a connector which does not generate residue can be formed (10). In addition, by forming a plurality of ridges (15), the mechanical strength of the cylinder (1) can be increased. When the connector (40) is held by the bracket (30), the bracket (30) is separated from the connector (10) by a rim (15), and is also between the bracket (30) and the connector (40). A gap (not shown) is formed. Thereby, it is not necessary to form the open hole (37)' in the holder to prevent the free capacitance generated by the discharge gas, the glass tube (21 #), and the holder (30). However, it is also possible to use the bracket (30) to hold the connector (40), integrate the raised edge (15) with the open hole (37) of the bracket (30), and the raised edge (15) from the open hole (37). Open to the outside. The ridge (15) of the cylinder (1) abuts against the bracket (30) without being obstructed, and the bracket (30) can be easily and surely held by the bracket (30). The ball (11) and the raised edge (15) are not limited to a hemispherical shape, and may be formed continuously in a line shape in the longitudinal direction of the cylindrical body (1) or continuously formed in a ring shape in the circumferential direction. As shown by the connector (50) in Fig. 23, an opening portion (14) is formed on the top of the ball (-20-(18) 1321880 11 ). The outer peripheral surface (21b) which is in contact with the glass tube (2 l ) The top of the ball (11) is formed with an opening portion (14), thereby further reducing the opposing area of the cylindrical body (1) with respect to the glass tube (2 1 ), and also reducing the free capacitance. The opening (14) shared with the electrode package portion (7) and the extended package portion (8) may be formed in the cylindrical body (1) as shown by the connector (60) in Fig. 24. The cylinder (1) of the connector (60) has a large opening portion (I 4 ) which is formed in a φ rectangle with respect to the aforementioned connector (10). As shown in Fig. 25, the glass tube (2 1) is separated from the electrode (24) and the front end portion (24a) of the electrode (24) by the opening portion (14) of the connector (60). Part of the enclosed space (23) is open from the connector (1 〇). The opening (14) of the cylindrical body (1) may have a notch portion (not shown) along the edge portion or the corner portion of the cylindrical body (1). Further, the other end of the cylinder (1) adjacent to the front end portion (24a) of the electrode (24) may be further than the one end (la) of the cylindrical body (1) in which the connecting portion (2) is formed. (lc) forms a plurality of openings (14). The free capacitance due to the front end portion (24a) of the electrode (24) can be further reduced. Further, the tubular body (1) may be formed of a mesh metal to greatly reduce the opposing area of the cylindrical body (1) with respect to the glass tube (21). According to the discharge tube connector, the discharge tube having the connector, and the surface light source device of the present invention, the free capacitance generated when the metal connector (10) is attached to the end of the discharge tube (20) is reduced, thereby It is possible to prevent a decrease in power efficiency due to leakage current and to reduce the power consumption of the discharge tube (20). 21 - (19) 1321880 [Effect of the invention] When the discharge tube is assembled with the connector or when the discharge tube is assembled to the display device The connector is used to alleviate the stress applied to the lead of the discharge tube to prevent cracking between the lead and the glass tube, and a highly reliable discharge tube and light source device can be obtained. [Possibility of Industrial Use] The present invention can be suitably applied to, for example, a cold cathode fluorescent discharge tube used in a light source device such as a backlight of a liquid crystal display.
