- the flat fluorescent lamp of the present invention shown in Fig. 1 comprises a front panel 110, a rear panel 170 and a support 180 for defining a discharge space between the front and rear panels 110 and 170.
- the front panel 110 has a fluorescent material 111 applied a bottom surface thereof that serves a light-exiting surface through which light generated from the fluorescent lamp exits.
- the rear panel 70 comprises a reflecting plate 120, first and second electrode portions 130 and 140, a dielectric layer 150 and a fluorescent material 160.
- the reflecting plate 120 disposed on a top surface of the rear panel 170 enhances use efficiency of light by reflecting light toward the light-exiting surface and also causes the entire light-exiting surface of the fluorescent lamp to have uniform brightness distribution by controlling the amount of reflected light of total incident light.
- the first and second electrode portions 130 and 140 are printed on a top surface of the reflecting plate 120 such that they are electrically insulated from each other.
- the dielectric layer 150 electrically insulates the first and second electrode portions 130 and 140 and limits an electric current.
- the fluorescent material 160 is applied to a top surface of the dielectric layer 150.
- An inert gas is filled into a discharge chamber defined by the front plate 110, the rear plate 170 and the support 180. However, it is preferred that the inert gas do not contain mercury.
- xenon (Xe) gas, argon (Ar) gas containing Xe gas, neon (Ne) gas, or krypton (Kr) gas may be filled thereinto.
- Xe xenon
- Ar argon
- Xe gas Xe gas
- Ne neon
- Kr krypton
- the fluorescent lamp preferably has a thickness of 3mm or greater. More preferably, the gap between the front and rear plates is in a range of 3 to 8mm.
- each of the first and second electrode portions 130 and 140 in the present invention is formed of a pair of strip leads 131 or 141 to construct the same electrode structure, a plurality of protrusions P symmetrically protrude outward on the pair of strip leads 131 or 141, and the first and second electrode portions 130 and 140 are arranged alternately.
- a plurality of first and second electrode portions 130 and 140 are connected to primary electrodes 132 and 142 provided outside of the discharge chamber, respectively.
- the configurations of the primary electrodes in the present invention are not limited to specific configurations. It is preferred that the protrusions P be formed equidistantly on the strip leads 131 and 141. Meanwhile, the present invention is characterized in that an end of each of the strip leads 131 and 141 is positioned outside of an inner contact interface between the rear panel 170 and the support.
- reference numeral 180a designates a region to which the support is fixed. It can be seen that the end of each of the strip leads 131 and 141 extends at least up to the region to which the support is fixed.
- the ends of the strip leads are positioned outside of the discharge space, they do not affect the discharge generated within the discharge chamber. Thus, it is possible to obtain a stable discharge property. That is, the ends and intermediate portions of the strip leads are prevented from performing discharge in different discharge manners, so that the same brightness uniformity can be obtained between the center and edges of the fluorescent lamp.
- the protrusions symmetrically formed on both sides of each strip lead take the shape of a needle. Referring to the partially enlarged view in Fig. 2, a tip PI of each protrusion P preferably has a predetermined radius of curvature.
- the curved tip PI has a disadvantage in that the discharge starting voltage increases, there are advantages in that an effective area for discharge is enlarged, the concentration of an electric filed is reduced to widen a discharge path, a problem of heat generation due to instantaneous discharge can be solved, and the life of the lamp can be prolonged.
- an intermediate portion P2 and a lower portion P3 of the protrusion are also formed to have predetermined radii of curvature, thereby preventing discharge from being generated at other portions except the tip PI of the protrusion. It is preferred that the radii of curvature of the curves defined in the protrusion be in a range of R0.1 to R0.8.
- the spacing between most adjacent strip leads of the first and second electrode portions should be properly maintained. That is, if the spacing between adjacent strip leads of the first and second electrode portions is too small, it is possible to lower the discharge starting voltage. However, there is a disadvantage in that a discharge current rapidly increases, resulting in lowering of discharge efficiency. On the contrary, if the spacing between adjacent strip leads is large, the discharge starting voltage increases, resulting in the occurrence of a non-emitting area. Therefore, proper spacing between the electrodes is very important in determining brightness, efficiency, and the performance of an inverter.
- the present invention is characterized in that the spacing dl between most adjacent strip leads 131 and 141 of the first and second electrode portions 130 and 140 is 2 to 10mm.
- the spacing between a pair of strip leads constructing the same electrode be maintained to be minimum spacing. If the spacing between a pair of strip leads constructing the same electrode is large, a non-emitting area increases, resulting in deterioration of brightness uniformity.
- the present invention is characterized in that the spacing d2 between a pair of strip leads constructing the same electrode is 1 to 7mm. Further, the present invention is characterized in that the width of each strip lead is
- FIG. 3 is a view showing a preferred example of the spacers provided in flat fluorescent lamp according to the present invention.
- Spacers 200 each of which comprises a hexahedron 210 and a sphere 220 can be added between the front and rear panels 110 and 170. It is preferred that a ratio of the sphere 220 to the hexahedron 210 be determined to minimize hindrance to uniformity and brightness.
- FIG. 4 is a view showing another example of the flat fluorescent lamp according to the present invention, wherein the rear panel is further provided with a heat-dissipating member with superior thermal conductivity to facilitate heat dissipation.
- the heat-dissipating member includes a heat-dissipating sheet or silicone that is mounted on a back surface of the rear panel 170 to facilitate rapid heat conduction.
- a light-diffusing member is additionally mounted on a top surface of the front panel to compensate the influence of differences in brightness between micro discharge regions of different electrodes, thereby improving brightness and uniformity.
- the light-diffusing member includes a diffusion sheet 410 or a prism sheet 420.
- the present invention is characterized in that the flat fluorescent lamp is driven by a square wave pulse type AC power source. Since polarities of the AC power source are considered as performing the same function, the polarities of the first and second electrode portions are not separately discriminated from each other. Fig.
- FIG. 5 a view showing a preferred example of a driving circuit for driving the flat fluorescent lamp according to the present invention, wherein a high-voltage square wave AC pulse is output by combining four high speed FETs with a transformer. That is, the square wave AC pulse can be obtained by inputting proper signals into gates of the respective FETs in a state where a DC voltage +V is applied to drains Ql and
- Fig. 6a when Q3 and Q4 are simultaneously turned on, a voltage approximate to XV is produced at both ends of a primary side of the transformer.
- Figs. 6 (a) and (b) show a waveform of an input gate signal of the driving circuit of Fig. 5, and a waveform of an output voltage, respectively. The output voltage produced on the primary side of the transformer is boosted and then applied through the first and second electrode portions.
- the flat fluorescent lamp of the present invention has superior brightness uniformity, brightness and light-emitting efficiency. Further, it can also be seen that the life of the flat fluorescent lamp of the present invention is prolonged as compared with the conventional flat fluorescent lamp.
- the flat fluorescent lamp of the present invention described above since each of two electrodes driven by an AC power source comprises a pair of strip leads to have the same electrode structure, there are advantages in that the number of discharge at the two electrodes can be increased as compared with conventional driving by a DC power source, and the brightness and uniformity are improved. Moreover, since needle-shaped protrusions with predetermined radii of curvature are formed on the strip leads of the respective electrodes, it is possible to beforehand determine discharge initiation and a discharge path. Therefore, stable discharge can be generated.
