The discharge spaces are apart from each other and arranged substantially parallel with each other. The electrodes are disposed at external portions of the body. The body includes a first substrate, and a second substrate disposed on the first substrate. The second substrate includes space forming members and space dividing members. The discharge spaces are each formed between corresponding one of the space forming members and the first substrate. The space dividing members are each disposed between the adjacent space forming members. The space dividing members include connecting passages each connecting adjacent ones of the discharge spaces.

Abstract:
A planar light source device includes a body, a plurality of partition members, and first and second electrodes. The body includes a discharge space. The partition member divides the discharge space into a plurality of discharge regions. The first electrodes are disposed at the edge portions of the body, and a discharge voltage is applied to the first electrodes. The second electrode is disposed between the partition members. Therefore, the second electrode corresponding to the discharge region prevents deflection to enhance optical characteristics of the planar light source device. Furthermore, the second electrode lowers a discharge start time and reduces a discharging time.

A fluorescent lamp includes an external electrode and an internal electrode provided at opposite ends of a fluorescent tube. A power conductor may connect to the internal electrode extend outside the tube to provide a connection point for the internal electrode. The tube may include an internal support element at a first end of the tube and a substantially self supporting second end of the tube. A method for assembling a backlight includes obtaining a fluorescent lamp with an external electrode at a first end of a tube, an internal electrode at a second end of the tube opposite the first end, and an internal support element at the second end of the tube. The first end of the tube may be substantially self supporting. The method also connects first and second drive connectors to the first and second ends of the tube.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a multi-tube fluorescent discharge lamp which construct multiple glass tubes of different caliber in coaxial structure, the both sides of the inner most tube are connected to a cathode respectively, by isolating, perforating and blocking the discharge path, forming a successive discharge path, and coating phosphor on surface of the discharge tubes. The invention can then have more fluorescent area than a conventional fluorescent lamp of the similar size and higher lumen as well as power transfer factor. Compared with the power consumption of a conventional fluorescent discharge lamp, the invention therefore has higher luminous flux.

Abstract:
An illumination control device for illuminating an light modulation information display device with light includes: at least one illumination device for irradiating light which is generated through discharging; and a driving waveform generation section for controlling the light which is irradiated from the at least one illumination device to the light modulation information display device. The light modulation information display device is operable so as to have a first period and a second period during which an image is displayed. During the first period, the driving waveform generation section applies a first voltage to the at least one illumination device, the first voltage causing the at least one illumination device to be turned entirely-ON. During the second period, the driving waveform generation section applies a second voltage to at least a portion of the at least one illumination device.

Abstract:
A flat radiator having dielectrically impeded, strip-like cathodes (12;15) and anodes (8;9a) which are arranged alternately next to one another on the wall of the discharge vessel (14) has in each case an additional anode (9b) between neighbouring cathodes (12;12,15), that is to say an anode pair (9) is arranged in each case between the cathodes (12;12,15). The cathodes (15) have nose-like extensions (28) which face the respectively neighbouring anodes (8) and are arranged more densely in a spatially increasing fashion in the direction of the edges (26,27) of the flat radiator (13). As an alternative or in addition thereto, the two anode strips (9a,9b) of each anode pair (9) are widened in the direction of the edges (26,27) of the flat radiator (13) at one end in the direction of the respective partner strip (9b or 9b). Owing to these measures, the surface luminous density of the flat radiator (13) is largely constant towards the edges (26,27,29,30) in pulsed operation.
Abstract:
A high pressure sodium discharge lamp includes first and second discharge devices electrically connected in series within an outer envelope. The discharge devices each include a discharge vessel enclosing a discharge space with an ionizable fill and first and second discharge electrode assemblies. The first discharge electrode assemblies of the discharge devices are connected so as to receive a starting pulse and lamp operating voltage. Each discharge vessel includes a first wall portion spaced from the first discharge electrode assembly and defining an ionizable gap therebetween. A conductive element bridges the discharge devices at the first wall portions and capacitively couples the first discharge electrode assemblies to induce ionization in one of the discharge devices in the ionizable gap between the first wall portion and first discharge electrode assembly.
