34.1: High‐Luminance and High‐Efficacy Electric‐Field‐Coupled Discharge Lamp for 18‐in. Diagonal LCD Backlighting

Abstract: A flat lamp is developed for an 18‐in.‐diagonal LCD backlighting, using 8 electric‐field‐coupled discharge tubes. All the tubes can be driven with a single inverter circuit. Luminance, efficacy, and input power are 3500cd/m2, 34 lm/W, and 35W when the lamp is driven at 5.24MHz and 790V.

“…We previously reported a capacity-coupled 5-MHz lamp for an 18-in.-diagonal LCD, 3 but the luminance was not satisfactory. Also, non-uniformity of the temperature along the tube axis resulted in uneven Hg distribution.…”

“…The most conventional light sources include CCFL. Recently, the EEFL, a fluorescent lamps without cold cathode, was introduced as a new light source for LCD backlighting [1,2]. The electrode structures of the CCFL and EEFL are shown in Fig.…”
