Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To uniformize light emission of the entire front glass surface by almost uniformizing a thickness of a phosphor film formed on a bottom surface of a box. SOLUTION: In a plane type fluorescent lamp, inert gas is sealed in a box 2 having front glass on an upper surface, and a pair of discharge electrode pieces 4 and 5 are oppositely arranged. A film of a phosphor 7 dried by being applied in a liquid shape at the beginning is formed on an inside surface of the font glass and an inside bottom surface of the box 2, and an electric conductor coating film is formed on an upper surface of the front glass, respectively. The inside bottom surface of the box 2 is partitioned into gathering chambers 3 and 3 in which the liquid phosphor 7 gathers by plural projecting strips 8 and 8 integrally arranged with the box 2. The adjacent projecting strips 8 and 8 prevent a concentration of the phosphor 7 on the vicinity of both projecting strips 8 and 8 by surface tension when the liquid phosphor 7 is applied, and almost uniformize a film thickness of the phosphor 7 between the projecting strips 8 and 8.

As shown in FIG. 1, a conductive film 9 for allowing an electron flow is formed on the periphery of the upper surface of the windshield 1, and at the start of lighting, first, an electrode piece 4 and a conductive film are formed.
Discharge occurs between (9). As the degree of ionization of the inert gas located between the electrode piece (4) and the conductor coating (9) increases, electrons from the electrode piece (4) pass through the conductor coating (9) and are grounded. Between the electrode piece (5) and the conductor coating (9),
Discharge starts. Once the discharge is thus induced, the electrons from the electrode piece (4) gradually ionize the inert gas in the discharge chamber, and the direct discharge between the electrode pieces (4) and (5) is in a steady state.

In this type of fluorescent lamp, there has been known a fluorescent lamp in which the surface area of the phosphor (7) is increased to increase the amount of light emission (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 63-301458). . This relates to a tubular fluorescent lamp. As shown in FIG. 9, a plurality of protrusions (85) and (85) are provided in series on the inner surface of the fluorescent lamp, and a film of the phosphor (7) is provided thereon. Formed and phosphor
The surface area of the film (7) is increased. As shown in FIG. 6 (a), a conventional flat fluorescent lamp is provided with protrusions (8a) (8a) on the bottom surface of a box (2) inside electrode pieces (4) and (5). This prevents the phosphor (7) from flowing into the electrode pieces (4) and (5).

However, as described above, the film of the phosphor (7) formed on the surfaces of the protrusions (8a) and (8a) is formed by first applying a liquid and then drying. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), a large amount of the phosphor (7) gathers near the protrusion (8a) due to the surface tension at the time of application, and the phosphor (7) is located in the center of the box (2). Film becomes thinner. As a result, there arises a problem that the light emission amount of the central portion is not sufficient. According to the present invention, firstly, the thickness of the phosphor film formed on the bottom surface of the box is made substantially uniform to increase the light emission luminance at the center portion of the windshield surface, and the light emission over the entire surface of the windshield is made substantially uniform. The purpose is to do. Second, even if the thickness of the box is reduced, the object is to reduce the cost without requiring a strengthening process.
