Description

本発明は、冷陰極蛍光管及びその製造方法に代わり、特に液晶表示パネル,計器用表示パネルまたはスキャナ等の照明装置の光源に用いて好適な冷陰極蛍光管及びその製造方法に係わり、特に冷陰極蛍光管のカップ状電極構造に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a cold cathode fluorescent tube suitable for use as a light source of an illuminating device such as a liquid crystal display panel, an instrument display panel or a scanner, in place of a cold cathode fluorescent tube and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly The present invention relates to a cup-shaped electrode structure of a cathode fluorescent tube.

各種の照明装置の中で低消費電力,高輝度あるいは小寸法の光源として放電管が多用されている。この放電管のうち、蛍光体を内壁に塗布したガラス等の透明絶縁材料からなる外套管内に不活性ガスと水銀を封入した低圧放電管は蛍光灯として広く知られている。この種の低圧放電管には熱電子を用いる熱陰極型と冷電子を用いる冷陰極型とがある。   Among various lighting devices, discharge tubes are frequently used as light sources with low power consumption, high luminance, or small dimensions. Among these discharge tubes, a low-pressure discharge tube in which an inert gas and mercury are enclosed in an outer tube made of a transparent insulating material such as glass with a phosphor coated on the inner wall is widely known as a fluorescent lamp. This type of low-pressure discharge tube includes a hot cathode type using thermoelectrons and a cold cathode type using cold electrons.

非発光型である例えば液晶表示パネルを用いた画像表示装置では、当該液晶表示パネルに形成された電子潜像を外部照明手段を設けることにより、可視化している。外部照明手段には自然光を利用する構造を除いて液晶表示パネルの背面または前面に照明装置を設置している。特に高輝度を要する表示デバイスには、液晶表示パネルの背面に照明装置を設けた構造が主流となっている。これをバックライトと称している。   In an image display device using, for example, a liquid crystal display panel that is a non-light-emitting type, an electronic latent image formed on the liquid crystal display panel is visualized by providing external illumination means. Except for the structure using natural light, the external illumination means is provided with an illumination device on the back or front of the liquid crystal display panel. Especially for display devices that require high brightness, a structure in which an illuminating device is provided on the back of a liquid crystal display panel has become the mainstream. This is called a backlight.

バックライトには、大別してサイドエッジ型と直下型とがある。サイドエッジ型は、透明板からなる導光板の側縁部に沿って冷陰極蛍光管に代表される線状光源を設置した構造であり、パソコン用等の薄型化が要求される表示デバイスに多く用いられている。一方、ディスプレィモニタまたはテレビ受像機に用いられる表示デバイス等の大型サイズの液晶表示装置では、直下型が多く用いられる。直下型バックライトは、液晶表示パネルの背面側直下に照明装置を設置する構造である。   There are two types of backlights: side edge type and direct type. The side-edge type is a structure in which a linear light source typified by a cold cathode fluorescent tube is installed along the side edge of a light guide plate made of a transparent plate. It is used. On the other hand, in a large-sized liquid crystal display device such as a display device used for a display monitor or a television receiver, a direct type is often used. The direct type backlight has a structure in which an illumination device is installed directly under the back side of the liquid crystal display panel.

例えば、液晶表示装置の照明装置の光源には、上記冷電子を放出して蛍光体を励起して発光させる冷陰極蛍光管(CCFL)が採用されている。一般に冷電子を放出する電極はニッケル等の金属材料が用いられる。   For example, a cold cathode fluorescent tube (CCFL) that emits cold electrons by exciting the phosphors to emit light is employed as the light source of the illumination device of the liquid crystal display device. Generally, a metal material such as nickel is used for an electrode that emits cold electrons.

冷陰極蛍光管のカップ状電極と電力導入線との接続手段として一般的に抵抗溶接法またはレーザ溶接法を用いて行なうが、溶接時には、少なからずカップ状電極の素材の酸化物がカップ状電極の内壁面に付着し、この酸化物は冷陰極蛍光管の点灯中に外套管内の電子及びイオン等がカップ状電極の内壁面に衝突し、叩かれ、カップ状電極内壁側からその電極開口近辺から外套管の内面に飛散し、スパッタ膜の発生の引き金となっている。   Generally, resistance welding or laser welding is used as a means for connecting the cold cathode fluorescent tube cup-shaped electrode and the power lead-in line, but at the time of welding, the oxide of the cup-shaped electrode material is not limited to the cup-shaped electrode. This oxide adheres to the inner wall of the cup-shaped electrode, and electrons and ions in the outer tube collide with the inner wall of the cup-shaped electrode while the cold-cathode fluorescent tube is lit. To the inner surface of the mantle tube, triggering the generation of a sputtered film.

さらに、冷陰極蛍光管の点灯時間が増加すると、この過程が進行し、カップ状電極の開口部近辺での電食及びカップ状電極の底辺部での電食が進み、特に後者が顕著となる。   Further, when the lighting time of the cold cathode fluorescent tube increases, this process proceeds, and electrolytic corrosion near the opening of the cup-shaped electrode and electrolytic bottom near the bottom of the cup-shaped electrode progresses, and the latter is particularly remarkable. .

また、カップ状電極の底辺部での電食は、カップ状電極を支持している導入線にまで達し、カップ状電極の底辺部の電極厚さが薄いと、カップ状電極が導入線から外れてしまうという課題があった。   In addition, the electrolytic corrosion at the bottom of the cup-shaped electrode reaches the lead-in line that supports the cup-shaped electrode, and if the electrode thickness at the bottom of the cup-shaped electrode is thin, the cup-shaped electrode is detached from the lead-in line. There was a problem that it would end up.

さらに、カップ状電極の材質は、一般にニッケル(Ni)が用いられているが、カップ状電極の電食に対してこの材質を高融点金属、例えばW(タングステン),Mo(モリブデン),Nb(ニオブ)等を用いる手段、またはカップ状電極をNiにより形成し、底辺部を厚肉で形成する手段等が提案されているが、高融点金属がコスト高であること,カップ形状への成形,溶接技術の困難性及び溶接部の信頼性等に種々の課題があった。   Further, nickel (Ni) is generally used as the material of the cup-shaped electrode, but this material is used as a refractory metal, such as W (tungsten), Mo (molybdenum), Nb (for the electrolytic corrosion of the cup-shaped electrode. Niobium) or the like, or a means in which the cup-shaped electrode is formed of Ni and the bottom is thick, etc. have been proposed. There were various problems in the difficulty of the welding technique and the reliability of the welded part.

したがって、本発明は、前述した従来の課題を解決するためになされたものであり、その目的は、カップ状電極の底辺部での電食に起因するカップ状電極の脱落防止し、低コストにて安定した放電を長時間に亘って維持できる冷陰極蛍光管及びその製造方法を提供することにある。   Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described conventional problems, and its purpose is to prevent the cup-shaped electrode from falling off due to electrolytic corrosion at the bottom of the cup-shaped electrode, thereby reducing the cost.

以下、本発明の具体的な実施の形態について、実施例の図面を参照して詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings of the examples.

図1は、本発明による冷陰極蛍光管の実施例1による構成を示す要部拡大断面図であり、この図1では冷陰極蛍光管の一端部側を示してある。   FIG. 1 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a main part showing the configuration of a cold cathode fluorescent tube according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 shows one end side of the cold cathode fluorescent tube.

図1において、この冷陰極蛍光管CCFLは、外套管である透光性絶縁材料からなるガラス管VALの両端内部には一対のカップ状電極ELEが対向して配設され、さらにガラス管VAL内を真空引きした後に不活性ガスとしてネオン−アルゴン(Ne−Ar)ガス及び水銀が封入されて構成されている。このガラス管VALの内壁面には蛍光体膜FLUが被着形成されている。なお、この冷陰極蛍光管CCFLは、そのガラス管VALの肉厚が例えば数100μm程度であり、外径が1.0mm〜10.0mm程度で長さが50mm〜800mm程度の大きさで形成されている。   In FIG. 1, a cold cathode fluorescent tube CCFL is provided with a pair of cup-shaped electrodes ELE opposed to each other inside a glass tube VAL made of a light-transmitting insulating material, which is a mantle tube, and further inside the glass tube VAL. After being evacuated, neon-argon (Ne-Ar) gas and mercury are enclosed as an inert gas. A phosphor film FLU is deposited on the inner wall surface of the glass tube VAL. The cold cathode fluorescent tube CCFL has a glass tube VAL with a thickness of, for example, about several hundreds of micrometers, an outer diameter of about 1.0 mm to 10.0 mm, and a length of about 50 mm to 800 mm. ing.

この一対のカップ状電極ELEは、図2(a)に斜視図及び図2(b)に展開斜視図で示すように一端に開口を有し、他端に底部CAPBを一体的に有するキャップ体CAPと、このキャップ体CAPの底部CAPBの外壁面に接合された円板DISと、この円板DISの外壁面の中心点に接合されたインナーリードILEとから構成されている。   The pair of cup-shaped electrodes ELE has a cap body integrally having an opening at one end and a bottom CAPB at the other end as shown in a perspective view in FIG. 2A and a developed perspective view in FIG. The CAP, a disc DIS joined to the outer wall surface of the bottom CAPB of the cap body CAP, and an inner lead ILE joined to the center point of the outer wall surface of the disc DIS.

このカップ状電極ELEは、キャップ体CAPの底部CAPBの外壁面にこのキャップ体CAPと略同径の円板DISを被せて当接させ、円板DISの外壁側の方向から周方向の3個所の溶接点WEL1で溶接法により接合されて電気的に接続され、さらに、この円板DISの外壁の中心点には、ガラスの熱膨張率に近似する例えばニッケル−コバルト−鉄合金などからなるインナーリードILEがこのインナーリードILE側から溶接部WEL2で例えば抵抗溶接法またはレーザ溶接法により接合されて電気的に接続されている。   The cup-shaped electrode ELE is placed in contact with the outer wall surface of the bottom portion CAPB of the cap body CAP by covering the disk body DIS with the same diameter as the cap body CAP, and is arranged at three locations in the circumferential direction from the outer wall side direction of the disk DIS. The welding point WEL1 is joined by a welding method and is electrically connected. Further, an inner wall made of, for example, a nickel-cobalt-iron alloy that approximates the thermal expansion coefficient of glass is formed at the center point of the outer wall of the disc DIS. The lead ILE is joined and electrically connected from the inner lead ILE side at the welded portion WEL2 by, for example, resistance welding or laser welding.

なお、これらのキャップ体CAP及び円板DISは、何れもニッケル材のプレス成形体により形成され、その肉厚が約1.00mm〜1.5mm程度の厚さで形成されている。   Each of the cap body CAP and the disc DIS is formed of a press-molded body made of nickel and has a thickness of about 1.00 mm to 1.5 mm.

また、このインナーリードILEは、図1に示すようにガラスビーズGBEに支持されてガラス管VALに内外部を気密状態に封着されている。ガラスビーズGBEは、ガラス管VALの両端部に溶着させてガラス管VALを封止切りし、外部に突出した一対のインナーリードILEには例えばニッケル材からなるアウターリードOLEを突き合わせて溶接部WEL3で例えばレーザ溶接法等により接合されて電気的に接続されている。この一対のアウターリードOLEには、図示しない電源回路(一般にインバータ点灯回路)に接続されて対向する一対のカップ状電極ELE間に点灯電力が供給される。   Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the inner lead ILE is supported by glass beads GBE and sealed inside and outside in a glass tube VAL in an airtight state. The glass beads GBE are welded to both ends of the glass tube VAL to seal off the glass tube VAL, and an outer lead OLE made of, for example, a nickel material is abutted with the pair of inner leads ILE projecting to the outside at the welded portion WEL3. For example, they are joined and electrically connected by a laser welding method or the like. The pair of outer leads OLE is supplied with lighting power between a pair of cup-shaped electrodes ELE that are connected to a power supply circuit (not shown) (generally an inverter lighting circuit) and are opposed to each other.

また、このように構成されたカップ状電極ELEの製作方法は、図2(b)に示すようにキャップ体CAPの底部CAPBの外壁面に円板DISを被せて当接させ、この円板DISの外壁側の方向から3点の溶接点WEL1で例えば抵抗溶接法またはレーザ溶接法等により溶接固定して接合する。また、円板DISの外壁中心点にインナーリードILEの一端を突き合わせてこのインナーリードILE側の方向から溶接点WEL2で溶接固定して接合する。さらに、このインナーリードILEの他端はアウターリードOLEの一端に溶接点WEL3で溶接固定して接合する。つまり、これらの各接合部材は、溶接点WEL1,WEL2,WEL3におけるいずれの溶接固定をカップ状電極ELEの外壁側から行われ、溶接固定する順序は特に限定されることはない。   In addition, as shown in FIG. 2B, the manufacturing method of the cup-shaped electrode ELE having the above-described configuration is such that the disk DIS is put on and contacted with the outer wall surface of the bottom portion CAPB of the cap body CAP. Are welded and fixed by, for example, resistance welding or laser welding at three welding points WEL1 from the outer wall side direction. Further, one end of the inner lead ILE is abutted against the center point of the outer wall of the disk DIS, and is welded and fixed at the welding point WEL2 from the direction of the inner lead ILE. Further, the other end of the inner lead ILE is joined to one end of the outer lead OLE by welding and fixing at a welding point WEL3. That is, in each of these joining members, any welding fixing at the welding points WEL1, WEL2, and WEL3 is performed from the outer wall side of the cup-shaped electrode ELE, and the order of welding fixing is not particularly limited.

このようにして構成された冷陰極蛍光管は、カップ状電極ELEがキャップ体CAPの底部CAPBの外壁側に円板DISを接合させて形成したことにより、このカップ状電極ELEの底辺部の底厚を見かけ上、稼ぐことができるので、電食によるインナーリードILEから円板DISに接合されたキャップ体CAPの脱落を確実に防止することができる。これによって安定した放電を長時間に亘って確保することができる。   The cold cathode fluorescent tube configured as described above has a cup-like electrode EL formed by joining a disc DIS to the outer wall side of the bottom part CAPB of the cap body CAP. Since the thickness can be apparently obtained, the cap body CAP joined to the disc DIS from the inner lead ILE due to electrolytic corrosion can be surely prevented. As a result, stable discharge can be secured over a long period of time.

また、このような製作方法によれば、キャップ体CAPと円板DISとの溶接固定をこの円板DISの外壁側から行なうことにより、キャップ体CAPの内壁面に溶接時に飛散する酸化物の付着が生じないカップ状電極ELEを製作することができる。   Further, according to such a manufacturing method, the welding of the cap body CAP and the disc DIS is performed from the outer wall side of the disc DIS, so that the oxide scattered on the inner wall surface of the cap body CAP is adhered. It is possible to manufacture a cup-shaped electrode ELE that does not cause the problem.

図3において、この冷陰極蛍光管CCFLのカップ状電極ELEは、前述した図1及び図2と異なる点は一端に開口を有し、他端に底部CAPB1を一体的に有する第1のキャップ体CAP1と、この第1のキャップ体CAP1の底部CAPB1の外壁に接合された第1のキャップ体CAP1よりも内径が大きく且つ管長の短い底部CAPB2を一体的に有する第2のキャップ体CAP2と、この第2のキャップ体CAP2の底部CAPB2の外壁に接合された電力導入線ILEとから構成されている。   In FIG. 3, a cup-shaped electrode EL of the cold cathode fluorescent tube CCFL is different from the above-described FIGS. 1 and 2 in that a first cap body having an opening at one end and a bottom portion CAPB1 integrally at the other end. CAP1 and a second cap body CAP2 integrally having a bottom portion CAPB2 having a larger inner diameter and a shorter tube length than the first cap body CAP1 joined to the outer wall of the bottom portion CAPB1 of the first cap body CAP1, The power introduction line ILE is joined to the outer wall of the bottom portion CAPB2 of the second cap body CAP2.

このカップ状電極ELEは、第1キャップ体CAP1の底部CAPB1の外壁から第2のキャップ体CAP2を開口端側から被せてこの第2のキャップ体CAP2の底部CAPB2の内壁を第1のキャップ体CAP2の底部CAPB1の外壁に当接させ、底部CAPB2の外壁側の方向から周方向の3個所の溶接点WEL4で接合されて電気的に接続され、この底部CAPB2の外壁の中心点には、ガラスの熱膨張率に近似する例えばニッケル−コバルト−鉄合金などからなるインナーリードILEがこのインナーリードILE側から溶接部WEL2で接合されて電気的に接続されている。   The cup-shaped electrode ELE covers the second cap body CAP2 from the opening end side from the outer wall of the bottom portion CAPB1 of the first cap body CAP1, and the inner wall of the bottom portion CAPB2 of the second cap body CAP2 covers the first cap body CAP2. The bottom wall CAPB1 is brought into contact with the outer wall of the bottom wall CAPB2 and joined at three welding points WEL4 in the circumferential direction from the direction of the outer wall side of the bottom wall CAPB2 to be electrically connected.
