Title:
外部電極型蛍光ランプ、バックライトユニット及び液晶テレビ
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4109314
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a fluorescent lamp, and in particular to a fluorescent lamp with an improved in-dark starting characteristic. A fluorescent lamp includes: a glass bulb ( 101 ) having a discharge space therein; two external electrodes ( 102 and 103 ) provided at both ends of the glass bulb; and a phosphor layer ( 106 ) provided on an inner surface of the glass bulb. The glass bulb is made of glass that contains 3% to 20% inclusive of sodium oxide. The phosphor layer includes phosphor particles ( 106 R and 106 G) containing no alumina and phosphor particles ( 106 B) containing alumina. A metal oxide ( 107 ) is attached to surfaces of the phosphor particles containing alumina. Sodium oxide precipitated on the inner surface of the glass bulb improves the in-dark starting characteristic. The phosphor particles containing alumina are protected by the metal oxide for being susceptible to deterioration due to reaction thereof with sodium oxide.
