201021083 六、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明涉及一種可削減水銀密封量的冷陰極放電燈 (cold cathode discharge lamp)以及使用該冷陰極放電燈 的發光裝置。 【先前技術】 先前’在液晶顯示器(liquid crystal display)所使用 的背光(backlight)模組中,使用冷陰極放電燈作為其光 源’在該冷陰極放電燈的電極中,廣泛使用著成形加工性 優異、且價格比較低的Ni材料。然而,此種冷陰極放電燈 中’在點燈時的放電過程中,經離子化的密封氣體和電極 碰撞而產生電極物質飛散的滅鑛(sputtering )現象。因此 濺鍍而飛散的電極物質和放電燈的燈管(bulb)内所密封 的水銀結合而成為合金,從而消耗水銀蒸汽使得有效水銀 量減少。其結果導致冷陰極放電燈的壽命減少。尤其,在 為了提高液晶顯示器的表面亮度而使放電燈的放電電流大 量流動來使光輸出增大時較為顯著。因此,在放電燈的燈 管内,由於補充因濺鍍所導致的水銀的減少量等原因,則 必須超過維持本來放電所需的水銀量而過多地密封著水 銀。 因此,伴隨近年來的液晶顯示器等的需求的增加,冷 陰極放電燈的出廠數量增大,從而至少在與所述水銀量的 關係方面會導致環境負荷的增大。 另一方面,為了使電極的濺鍍率降低,減少水銀的消 201021083 耗’使燈的壽命提高,而提出有一種由含有Nb或L的BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cold cathode discharge lamp capable of reducing the amount of mercury seal and a light-emitting device using the cold cathode discharge lamp. [Prior Art] Previously, in a backlight module used in a liquid crystal display, a cold cathode discharge lamp was used as a light source. In the electrode of the cold cathode discharge lamp, forming processability is widely used. Excellent and relatively inexpensive Ni material. However, in such a cold cathode discharge lamp, during the discharge during lighting, the ionized sealing gas collides with the electrode to cause a sputtering phenomenon in which the electrode material is scattered. Therefore, the sputtered and scattered electrode material combines with the mercury sealed in the bulb of the discharge lamp to form an alloy, thereby consuming mercury vapor to reduce the effective mercury amount. As a result, the life of the cold cathode discharge lamp is reduced. In particular, it is remarkable when the discharge current of the discharge lamp is largely flowed to increase the light output in order to increase the surface brightness of the liquid crystal display. Therefore, in the lamp of the discharge lamp, it is necessary to excessively seal the mercury in excess of the amount of mercury required to maintain the original discharge by replenishing the amount of mercury reduction due to sputtering. Therefore, with the increase in demand for liquid crystal displays and the like in recent years, the number of shipments of cold cathode discharge lamps has increased, resulting in an increase in environmental load at least in relation to the amount of mercury. On the other hand, in order to reduce the sputtering rate of the electrode and reduce the consumption of mercury, the life of the lamp is increased, and there is a proposal to contain Nb or L.

In the drawings, the same portions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the repeated description is omitted. Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a cold cathode discharge lamp, and Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 (Fig. 2 (1) and Fig. 3 are schematic cross-sectional views for explaining the present embodiment. First, the cold cathode discharge lamp which is the premise of the present embodiment is shown as =2, and the cold cathode discharge lamp 1 includes a gas-transmissive gas cylinder 2, a glass bulb 2, and an electrode unit 3. The glass bulb 2 is composed of The semi-hard I is temporarily formed. In addition, it is not limited to semi-hard glass, and the cage 4, soft glass, etc. can also be used, and the composition of the "applicable wei glass, nano glass" is also not particularly limited. Cold cathode discharge 201021083 When the lamp i is used as the light source of the backlight module of the liquid crystal panel, for the type of the outer diameter of the glass bulb 2, several kinds are prepared in the range of p 1.5 mm to p5.〇mm. The size of the liquid crystal panel is used separately. Moreover, the length of the lamp is about 150 mm to 1300 mm, and the size of the lamp is narrow and long. The both ends of the glass tube 2 are closed. The inside forms a closed space and seals the rare gases of Ar, Xe, Ne, etc. In addition, a fluorescent film 4 having a glomerium layer is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the glass bulb 2. The phosphor film 4 can be a halogen phosphate phosphor or a rare earth metal oxide oxide. The electrode unit 3 includes a cylindrical electrode 5 and an electrode lead 6 for bonding the power supply to the cylindrical electrode 5. The electrode 5 has an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the glass bulb 2, and is an end side In the cup shape in which the opening portion 5a is the bottom end portion 5b and the other end side is formed in a cup shape in this manner, the cathode lowering voltage can be lowered by the hollow-cathode effect. Further, the electrode 5 is made of Ni. Or formed by a Ni alloy, and formed by press processing a plate material or cold forging (c〇id ❿ forging) processing of the wire material. The electrode wire 6 is composed of a sealing member 6a and a guiding member 6b. The front end side of the sealing member 6a is joined to the bottom end portion 5b of the electrode 5 by laser beam welding or the like. Further, the sealing member 6a and the guiding member 6b are joined by welding. The sealing member 6a Using the Kov line, the guide member 6b is used by The dumet wire around the ferroalloy is coated. The electrode unit 3 configured in this manner is packaged at both end portions 201021083 of the glass bulb 2 to face each other with the opening 5a of the cup-shaped electrode 5 facing each other. In the arrangement, the electrode lead 6 is led out from both end portions of the glass bulb 2.

Next, the inventors cut the glass lamp sealed in the cold cathode discharge lamp 1 The amount of mercury in the tube 2 was tested and measured as follows, and an investigation and analysis was attempted. (Measurement Example 1) The amount of sealed mercury in the initial product of the cold cathode discharge lamp 1 and the life test after passing the life test was measured. In addition, in the life test product, in order to grasp where the mercury is consumed, the amount of mercury attached to each part is measured. The results are shown in the table below. [Table 1] ------ Mercury amount (mg) Part measurement product All electrode part Lamp blackening part No blackened phosphor layer total 3.9 Initial product 3.9 _ • Life test pass product • 0.04 2.9 0.8 3.75 Here, the initial product has a mercury seal of 3.9 mg. The "light tube blackening portion" in the portion refers to the blackening portion of the inner surface of the glass bulb 2 which is generated in the vicinity of the opening portion 5a of the pair of electrodes 5 in 201021083 in the life test product shown in Fig. 2 . Bk. Further, the term "the blackened phosphor layer portion" mainly means a phosphor layer on the inner surface of the glass bulb 2 other than the blackened portion Bk. According to the result, it is judged that the sealed mercury is concentrated in the lamp blackening portion.
Bk中。進而’對該黑化部Bk進行分析的結果,從黑化部 Bk中檢測出與電極5的材料相同的元素,這是在點燈時的 放電過程中電極5被濺鍍而飛散的電極物質。此外,可確 認出所滅鑛的電極物質是以微細的分子狀態而飛散,因此 ® 具有活性而與水銀蒸汽反應並作為蒸汽壓較低的化合物而 附著在黑化部Bk上。 因此,如果可以防止或抑制該所濺鍍的電極物質與水 銀的反應,則認為可削減初始的水銀密封量。另外,通過 用X射線拍攝來觀察筒狀電極5的哪個部位被錢錄,可判 斷出内周面的底端部5b附近的部分St已被選擇性地藏鑛。 (實測例2)其次’如圖3之(a)、圖3之(b)、圖3 之(c)所示’具體而言,作為電極而準備外徑尺寸p21 • mm、壁厚尺寸t〇.l mm、開口部5a至底端部5b的軸方向 的長度尺寸1^1 = 5 111111(圖3之(&))、1^2 = 7111111(圖3之 (b))、L3=10 mm (圖3之(c))的由Ni形成的三種筒 狀電極5 ’將外徑尺寸〇·8 mm、長度尺寸4 mm的Kov線 的封接構件6a接合在該筒狀電極5上而構成電極單元3。 將這些電極單元3封裝在外徑尺寸3.4 mm、長度尺寸1〇〇〇 mm的玻璃燈管2的兩端部,且將6><1031^的1^_入1·作為 稀有氣體、及3.9 mg水銀密封於玻璃燈管2的内部而製作 9 201021083 冷陰極放電燈1。而且,將這些冷陰極放電燈1以燈電流 10mA來點燈6000小時,進行外觀觀察以及燈管内密封水 銀的分析的結果是如下表所示β在本實測中,首先,對筒 狀電極5的長度尺寸為LpSmm (圖3之(a))和L2=7 mm (圖3之(b))的燈進行測定分析,根據其結果對長 度尺寸為L3= 10 mm (圖3之(c))的燈進行測定分析。 [表2] ρς—----- 水銀量(mg) 部位 電極 燈管黑化 無黑化的螢光體 _電極長度尺寸 部 部 層部 合計 ^___ — L] = 5 mm 0.02 3.2 0.6 3.82 ._ L2=7 mm 0.04 2.9 0.8 3 75 —L3=10 mm 0.04 0.04 _ —丨 3.6 3.68 — 此處 合哔位的取樣為如下:在與玻璃燈管2的兩 的封閉部相距5 mm的位置P1處將玻璃燈管2切斷 電極5而作為《電極部》,並且在與封閉部 :;置尸處將玻璃燈管2切斷,將此部分作為“燈Γ4 ‘無璃燈管2的部分料 如圖3之(a)以及圖3之、 一 :二度尺寸為^一一一:中在產筒二 不變’筒狀電極5的内周面的底端部%附近的^分 201021083 st被選擇性地濺鍍。此外,獲得如下結果:電極5的長度 尺寸為= 5 mm的燈和乙2 = 7 mm的燈中,電極5的開口 部5a附近所產生的玻璃燈管2的内表面的黑化部Bk的長 度尺寸不同,Ι^ = 5ιηιη的燈中約為3mm,L2 = 7mm的燈 中約為1mm,1^ = 5 mm的燈較長,電極5的長度尺寸與 黑化部Bk的長度尺寸之和為約8mm而成為相同。進而, 得知與所述實測例1相同,所密封的水銀集中在燈管黑化 部Bk。因此,根據所述的這些内容中電極$的產生賤鑛的 位置相同,且電極5的飛散物質的飛散位置相同,而判斷 為電極5的飛散物質是從產生濺鍍的位置物理性地飛來, 從而認為只要使筒狀電極5的長度尺寸變長,將電極5的 飛散物質收納在電極5的内周部,則飛散物質就不會和水 銀結合而形成化合物。 根據上述知識見解,如圖3之(c)所示,在筒狀電極 5的長度尺寸為L3=10mm的燈中,認為電極5的飛散物 質容納在電極5的内周部,在玻璃燈管2的“燈管黑化部” 八處未觀察到黑化,也幾乎未檢測出水銀。 (實測例3)省略圖示,改變筒狀電極5的尺寸等的 條件而進行與實測例2相同的測定。準備外徑尺寸φ2.7 mm、壁厚尺寸t〇 1 mm、長度尺寸l1==5 mm、L2 = 7 mm、 L3==l〇mm、L4=15mm的由Ni合金所形成的4種筒狀電 極5 ’將外徑尺寸0·8 mm、長度尺寸4 mm的Kov線的封 接構件6a接合在該筒狀電極5上而構成電極單元3。將這 二電極單元3封裝在外徑尺寸3.4 mm、長度尺寸1000 11 201021083 的玻璃燈管2的兩端部’且將6xl03Pa的Ne-Ar作為稀有 氣體、及3.9 mg水銀密封於玻璃燈管2的内部而製作冷陰 極放電燈1。而且,將這些冷陰極放電燈1以燈電流13 mA 來點燈6000小時,進行外觀觀察以及燈管内密封水銀的分 析的結果是如下表所不。 [表3] 水銀量(mg) 部位 電極長度尺 電極部 燈管黑化 部 無黑化的螢光體 層部 合計 Li = 5 mm 0.02 3.2 ~ 11 一 — 0.6 3.82 3.75 •Λ λ r\ L2=7 mm 0.04 2.9 ------ 0.8 Ί L3=10 mm 0.04 0.04 —— 3.6 L4=15 mm 0.04 0.04 "" ------- 3.7 3.68 "------ 3.78 -—— _ ❹ 根據本實測例得知,在電極5的長度尺寸為l = mm、L2 = 7 mm的燈中產生玻璃燈管2的黑化,電極 開口部5a附近所產生的玻璃燈管2的内表 ' 尺寸在τ在電極5的長度尺寸為 為3 mm,在1^7_的燈中約為lmm,電极 尺寸與黑化部Bk的長度尺寸之和為約8麵的長度 此外,得知__水雜巾在奸黑麟=為相一= 面,在電極5的長度尺寸為L3==1〇 mm、 为一方 中未觀察到麵燈管_化。㈣,當試著調 12 201021083 的内周部時,雖然附著有電極5的飛散物質,但是在這些 飛散物質中幾乎未能檢測出水銀。可通過以下内容說明該 水銀並未結合的原因。 ° • 從作為陰極的電極5的内周部釋放出的電子通過電場 而得以加速,從而獲得能量來將空間中所存在的氣體分子 電離。而且,該經過電離的氣體成為正離子。從電極=的 . 内周部接連不斷地釋放出電子,因此隨之也生成正離子, 從而水銀離子被從電極5的内周部電性地排除而消失。因 此,即便電極5的飛散物質沉積並收納在電極5的内周部, 水銀也不會結合在飛散物質上。換言之,如果電極5的°飛 散物質收納在電極5的内周部,則飛散物質就不會和水銀 結合而形成化合物。 (考察)根據以上的實測例得到如下知識見解,即, 如果以將電極5的飛散物質收納在電極5的内周部的方式 而設定筒狀電極5的長度尺寸,則可削減密封的水銀量。 具體而言,電極5的長度尺寸與黑化部Bk的長度尺寸之 參 和為約8 mm,因此如果將這視作電極5的飛散:質的飛 來距離,則認為只要使筒狀電極5的長度尺寸為約8麵, 則就能將飛散物質的一大半收納在電極5的内周部。進 而,根據實測例3,結果是外徑尺寸相對於筒狀電極 長度尺寸的比,亦即長度尺寸/外徑尺寸為8 mm/27 mmd。因此,通過將筒狀電極5的長度尺寸設定為8随 或8 mm以上,將外徑尺寸相對於長度尺寸的比設定為3 或3以上,則能抑制由減鐘所導致的水銀的消耗,從而可 13 201021083 削減密封的水銀1。據此,為了使能將電極Bk. Further, as a result of analyzing the blackened portion Bk, the same element as the material of the electrode 5 is detected from the blackened portion Bk, which is an electrode material in which the electrode 5 is sputtered and scattered during discharge during lighting. . Further, it was confirmed that the electrode material of the ore-killing mineral was scattered in a fine molecular state, and therefore ® was active and reacted with mercury vapor and adhered to the blackened portion Bk as a compound having a low vapor pressure. Therefore, if the reaction of the sputtered electrode material with mercury can be prevented or suppressed, it is considered that the initial mercury seal amount can be reduced. Further, by observing which part of the tubular electrode 5 is recorded by X-ray imaging, it is judged that the portion St near the bottom end portion 5b of the inner peripheral surface has been selectively deposited. (Measurement Example 2) Next, as shown in FIG. 3(a), FIG. 3(b), and FIG. 3(c), specifically, the outer diameter dimension p21 • mm and the wall thickness dimension t are prepared as electrodes. 〇.l mm, the length dimension of the opening portion 5a to the bottom end portion 5b in the axial direction 1^1 = 5 111111 ((&) of Fig. 3, 1^2 = 7111111 ((b) of Fig. 3), L3 The three cylindrical electrodes 5' formed of Ni having a diameter of 10 mm (Fig. 3(c)) are joined to the cylindrical electrode 5 by a sealing member 6a of an outer diameter of 〇·8 mm and a length of 4 mm. The electrode unit 3 is formed up. These electrode units 3 are packaged at both end portions of the glass bulb 2 having an outer diameter of 3.4 mm and a length of 1 mm, and 1 > 1 of 1 > 1031 is regarded as a rare gas, and 3.9 Mg mercury is sealed inside the glass bulb 2 to produce 9 201021083 cold cathode discharge lamp 1. Further, these cold cathode discharge lamps 1 were turned on at a lamp current of 10 mA for 6,000 hours, and the appearance observation and the analysis of the sealed mercury in the tube were performed as shown in the following table. In the actual measurement, first, the cylindrical electrode 5 was used. The lamps of length LpSmm (Fig. 3(a)) and L2=7 mm (Fig. 3(b)) were measured and analyzed, and the length dimension was L3 = 10 mm (Fig. 3(c) The lamp is subjected to measurement analysis.

Further, the following results are obtained: in the lamp of the electrode 5 having a length dimension of = 5 mm and the lamp of B 2 = 7 mm, the glass bulb 2 generated near the opening 5a of the electrode 5 The length of the blackened portion Bk of the inner surface is different, about 3 mm in the lamp of Ι^ = 5ιηιη, about 1 mm in the lamp of L2 = 7 mm, the lamp of 1^ = 5 mm is long, and the length of the electrode 5 is long. The sum of the dimensions and the length dimension of the blackened portion Bk is about 8 mm, and it is found that the sealed mercury is concentrated in the bulb blackening portion Bk as in the above-described measurement example 1. Therefore, according to the above-described In the content, the position of the electrode $ is the same, and the scattering position of the scattered matter of the electrode 5 is the same, and it is determined that the scattered matter of the electrode 5 is physically flying from the position where the sputtering occurs, so that it is considered to be a cylindrical shape. When the length of the electrode 5 is increased, and the scattering material of the electrode 5 is accommodated in the inner peripheral portion of the electrode 5, the scattering material does not combine with mercury to form a compound. According to the above knowledge, as shown in FIG. 3(c). In the lamp having the length of the tubular electrode 5 of L3 = 10 mm, it is considered that the scattered matter of the electrode 5 is accommodated in the inner peripheral portion of the electrode 5, and is not observed in the "light blackening portion" of the glass bulb 2 at eight places. In the blackening, almost no mercury was detected. (Measurement Example 3) The same measurement as in the measurement example 2 was carried out by changing the conditions such as the size of the tubular electrode 5, and the outer diameter was φ2.7 mm, and the wall thickness was prepared. Dimensions t〇1 mm, length dimensions l1==5 mm, 4 kinds of cylindrical electrodes 5' formed of a Ni alloy with L2 = 7 mm, L3 ==l〇mm, L4 = 15 mm, and a sealing member 6a of a Kov line having an outer diameter of 0·8 mm and a length of 4 mm The electrode unit 3 is formed by being bonded to the cylindrical electrode 5. The two electrode unit 3 is packaged at both end portions of the glass bulb 2 having an outer diameter of 3.4 mm and a length of 1000 11 201021083 and a 6×10 Pa of Ne-Ar is used. A cold cathode discharge lamp 1 was produced by sealing a rare gas and 3.9 mg of mercury inside the glass bulb 2. Further, these cold cathode discharge lamps 1 were turned on for 6,000 hours at a lamp current of 13 mA, and the appearance observation and the analysis of the mercury sealed in the inside of the lamp were as follows. [Table 3] Amount of mercury (mg) Part electrode length Ruler electrode Lamp blackening section No blackening of phosphor layer Total Li = 5 mm 0.02 3.2 ~ 11 One - 0.6 3.82 3.75 • Λ λ r\ L2=7 Mm 0.04 2.9 ------ 0.8 Ί L3=10 mm 0.04 0.04 —— 3.6 L4=15 mm 0.04 0.04 "" ------- 3.7 3.68 "------ 3.78 -- — _ ❹ According to the actual measurement example, the blackening of the glass bulb 2 occurs in the lamp having the length of the electrode 5 of l = mm and L2 = 7 mm, and the glass bulb 2 produced near the electrode opening 5a The inner table 'size is τ at the length of the electrode 5 is 3 mm, in the lamp of 1^7_ is about 1 mm, and the sum of the electrode size and the length dimension of the blackened portion Bk is about 8 faces. It is known that the __ water towel is in the black lining = the phase = face, the length dimension of the electrode 5 is L3 = 1 〇 mm, and the face lamp is not observed in one side. (4) When trying to adjust the inner peripheral portion of 201021083, although the scattered matter of the electrode 5 is attached, mercury is hardly detected in these scattered substances. The reason why the mercury is not combined can be explained by the following. ° • Electrons released from the inner peripheral portion of the electrode 5 as a cathode are accelerated by an electric field, thereby obtaining energy to ionize gas molecules existing in the space. Moreover, the ionized gas becomes a positive ion. Since electrons are continuously emitted from the inner peripheral portion of the electrode =, positive ions are also generated in the same manner, so that the mercury ions are electrically removed from the inner peripheral portion of the electrode 5 and disappear. Therefore, even if the scattered matter of the electrode 5 is deposited and housed in the inner peripheral portion of the electrode 5, mercury is not bonded to the scattered matter. In other words, if the scattering material of the electrode 5 is accommodated in the inner peripheral portion of the electrode 5, the scattering material does not combine with mercury to form a compound. (Investigation) According to the above-described actual measurement example, it is possible to reduce the amount of mercury in the seal by setting the length dimension of the tubular electrode 5 so that the scattering material of the electrode 5 is housed in the inner peripheral portion of the electrode 5. . Specifically, the length dimension of the electrode 5 and the length dimension of the blackened portion Bk are about 8 mm. Therefore, if this is regarded as the scattering of the electrode 5: the flying distance of the mass, it is considered that the cylindrical electrode 5 is required. With a length of about eight faces, a large portion of the scattered matter can be accommodated in the inner peripheral portion of the electrode 5. Further, according to the test example 3, the result is the ratio of the outer diameter dimension to the length dimension of the cylindrical electrode, that is, the length dimension/outer diameter dimension is 8 mm / 27 mmd. Therefore, by setting the length dimension of the tubular electrode 5 to 8 or more or 8 mm or more and setting the ratio of the outer diameter dimension to the length dimension to 3 or more, it is possible to suppress the consumption of mercury caused by the clock reduction. Thus 13 201021083 cuts the sealed mercury 1 . Accordingly, in order to enable the electrode
