However, the connection method of the welded or coated copper strip requires complicated processing steps and often causes poor processing. For example, if the soldering method is used, false soldering caused by poor soldering, the high temperature generated during lighting may cause the end of the conductive terminal and the solder of the connecting wire portion to cause an open circuit. If you are using a copper tape wrap, you should pay attention to the tip discharge that may occur at the acute angle of the steel strip. [0004] 1013293282-0

Here, the dielectric electrode 3〇 described in FIG. 2 is taken as an example for illustration. However, the gas discharge lamp provided by the present invention may also use the dielectric electrode described in other embodiments and the lamp. The dielectric electrodes at both ends of the tube body may be the same or different, and the invention is not limited thereto. [0025] First, referring to FIG. 8A, the gas discharge lamp tube 5 includes a hollow tube body 52, which is replaced by a single number of 09810665#, a page number 9 and a total of 25 pages 1013293282-0 1379337. The pages and dielectric electrodes 30 and 30 are connected to the first end 54 and the second end 56 of the hollow tube body 52, respectively. In this embodiment, the gas discharge lamp tube 5 is a fluorescent tube, wherein the empty tube body 52 comprises a linear glass tube with an inner wall coated with a fluorescent substance 58, and the first end of the hollow tube body 52 Both 54 and second end 56 are open ends. In other embodiments, however, the hollow tubular body 52 can also be U-shaped, L-shaped, helical, or other geometrical shape including a curved portion. Since the gas discharge lamp 5 of the present embodiment uses the same dielectric electrodes 30 and 30', the following description uses only the dielectric electrode 3〇.
作為說明。首先,參照圖8人’介電質電極3〇具有步階部s 和S’用以區隔本體32之主體區域34以及管體連接端36和As an explanation. First, referring to Fig. 8, the human 'dielectric electrode 3' has step portions s and S' for partitioning the body region 34 of the body 32 and the tube connecting end 36 and
排氣端40,而中空管體52之第一端54較佳抵靠於步階部S ’且玻璃材質之排氣管60亦可抵靠於步階部S’ ,如此可 易於控制介電質電極的放電空間,亦即大抵為主體區 域34所示之範圍。介電質電極30之管體連接端36和排氣 端40分別包覆中空管體52和排氣管60之外壁,而由於管 體連接端36與排氣端40分別和主體區域34所鄰接之連結 部的厚度均不小於主體區域34的厚度,因此當介電質電 極30與中空管體52以及排氣管6〇加以固定時(例如於接觸 部位施以點著劑,並實施一燒結製程),則可緩和介電質 電極30之轉接處的減應力,使得氣體放電燈管50具有較 佳的產品良率。 [〇〇Z7]接著,進行一充填製程,使中空管體52内包含一填充物 ,其可例如為一包含適量的氬、氖、氪、氮、氙或其組 合之混合氣體°而由於本實施例能藉由控制充填氣體之 成及燈I内壓,因此填充物中可選擇性地含汞或不.含 1013293282-0 09810665#單編號删1 第1◦頁/共25頁 1379337 汞。 [0028] 在本實施例中,當完成充填製程後,則可利用適當溫度 的火焰而將玻璃材質的排氣管60部分溶融,使介電質電 極30之排氣端40的開口經由一嵌封物62而密封。 [0029] 本實施例中所使用的介電質電極30並未在其本體32之外 表面上形成導電材料’而是採用導電橡膠套64套覆於主 體區域34之外表面,以便使介電質電極3〇接收來自外部 電源之電壓。在此實施例中,一外部電源之導線可先穿 • 過導電橡膠套64之穿孔Μ,而之後再將導電橡膠套64套 覆於至少主體區域34之外表面,使外部電源之導線與導 電橡膠套64穩固地接觸。然而,本發明亦可在本體32之 外表面形成導電材料以作為導電物,並可採用其他方式 而將外部電源之導線與介電質電極3G之本體32外表面上 的導電物電性接觸。 _]在-實施财,聽放魏細可藉由—組裝件68而固 定。由於導電轉套64具有雜,SUb其對於組裝件68 的開口70大小、或者對於介電質電極別的本體32之不平 整的外表面均可具有較大的容許度,使氣體放電燈管50 更可牢靠地固定於組裝件68中。此外,由於介電質電極 3〇之管趙連接端36的外徑大於主體區域34的外徑,因此 組農件68可抵靠於介電質電簡之管體連接端36處。然 而在其他實施例中,組裝件68亦可具有多個開口 用以 固定複數個氣體放電燈管5〇。 [_採用介«電極的1好處則是可湘—顆變頻器來驅 〇981〇665产單編號 A0101 第11頁/共25頁 1013293282-0 1379337 101年08月01日按正替换頁 動複數支氣體放電燈管,因而可減少變頻器的使用量, 進而降低整體燈組的成本並簡化背光模組的設計,適於 作為液晶顯示器背光源、傳真機、掃描器所使用之光源 以及一般照明的應用上。The exhaust end 40, and the first end 54 of the hollow tubular body 52 preferably abuts against the step portion S' and the exhaust pipe 60 of the glass material can also abut against the step portion S', so that the control can be easily controlled. The discharge space of the electrolyte electrode, that is, the range indicated by the body region 34. The tube connecting end 36 and the exhaust end 40 of the dielectric electrode 30 respectively cover the outer walls of the hollow tube body 52 and the exhaust tube 60, and the tube body connecting end 36 and the exhaust end 40 are respectively separated from the body portion 34. The thickness of the adjacent connecting portion is not less than the thickness of the main body region 34. Therefore, when the dielectric electrode 30 is fixed to the hollow tubular body 52 and the exhaust pipe 6〇 (for example, a dispensing agent is applied to the contact portion, and the implementation is performed. A sintering process can alleviate the stress reduction at the junction of the dielectric electrode 30, so that the gas discharge lamp 50 has better product yield. [〇〇Z7] Next, a filling process is performed to include a filler in the hollow tubular body 52, which may be, for example, a mixed gas containing an appropriate amount of argon, helium, neon, nitrogen, krypton or a combination thereof. This embodiment can control the filling gas and the internal pressure of the lamp I, so that the filler can selectively contain mercury or not. Including 1013293282-0 09810665# single number deletion 1 page 1 / 25 pages 1379337 mercury . [0028] In this embodiment, after the filling process is completed, the exhaust pipe 60 of the glass material may be partially melted by using a flame of a suitable temperature, so that the opening of the exhaust end 40 of the dielectric electrode 30 is inserted through a recess. The seal 62 is sealed. [0029] The dielectric electrode 30 used in this embodiment does not form a conductive material on the outer surface of its body 32, but is coated on the outer surface of the body region 34 with a conductive rubber sleeve 64 to make the dielectric The mass electrode 3 receives a voltage from an external power source. In this embodiment, an external power supply lead may be passed through the through hole of the conductive rubber sleeve 64, and then the conductive rubber sleeve 64 is overlaid on at least the outer surface of the body region 34 to make the external power supply lead and conductive. The rubber sleeve 64 is in firm contact. However, the present invention can also form a conductive material on the outer surface of the body 32 as a conductive material, and can electrically connect the wires of the external power source with the conductive materials on the outer surface of the body 32 of the dielectric electrode 3G. _] In the implementation of the financial, listening to the fine can be fixed by the assembly 68. Since the conductive sleeve 64 has impurities, the SUb can have a greater tolerance to the size of the opening 70 of the assembly 68 or the uneven outer surface of the body 32 of the dielectric electrode, so that the gas discharge lamp 50 It is more securely fixed in the assembly 68. In addition, since the outer diameter of the tube connection end 36 of the dielectric electrode 3 is larger than the outer diameter of the body portion 34, the organizing member 68 can abut against the dielectric connection end 36 of the dielectric. However, in other embodiments, the assembly 68 can have a plurality of openings for securing the plurality of gas discharge lamps 5A. [_The advantage of using the electrode «electrode is that it can be driven by a frequency converter to drive the 981 〇 665 production order number A0101 page 11 / a total of 25 pages 1013293282-0 1379337 101 years of the year, according to the positive replacement page The gas discharge lamp tube can reduce the usage of the frequency converter, thereby reducing the cost of the overall lamp group and simplifying the design of the backlight module, and is suitable for use as a light source for a liquid crystal display backlight, a fax machine, a scanner, and general illumination.
