The electrical contact may include a conductive pad in electrical contact with the electrode and/or the plasma-shell.
Abstract:
A flat or substantially flat luminous structure including two walls having main faces facing one another and defining an internal space, a light source placed in the internal space and a power supply for the light source, and at least one substantially transparent part or an overall transparent part forming at least one light well. The structure is capable of illuminating via at least one luminous region of at least one of the main faces, an element having a reflective surface that reflects visible light, placed facing at least one part of the luminous region. The element is switchable and the reflective surface is capable of becoming a substantially transparent surface or an overall transparent surface over at least one area, and vice versa.
Abstract:
A conductive shield for surrounding a high efficiency light bulb such as a spiral fluorescent bulb is described. A conductive curtain having apertures through which light may pass is connected to the threaded grounded base of the bulb. The apertures in the curtain present high impedance to stray electrical energy (SEE) from the bulb thereby reducing SEE.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a stationary ion cold cathode fluorescent lighting system comprising a cold cathode fluorescent lamp with a radial D. C. electric field established therein so as to sufficiently energize electrons ionized therein through a process of chain collision and reduce the radial velocity of mercury ions (Hg+2) and argon ions (Ar+2) ionized therein to a virtual zero when touching a phosphor layer on the inside surface of the lamp, preventing the phosphors from being bombarded by the ions and forming an amorphous layer thereon, and preventing mercury from embedding in the phosphor layer, and with an axial anti-equivalent D. C. electric field established between electrodes of the lamp so as to prevent mercury from accumulating on the electrodes and to maximize the life of the phosphor layer as well as the lamp.

A flat-type fluorescent lamp includes a body having a plurality of discharge spaces, an electrode part disposed inside the body and crossing each of the discharge spaces and a light generating part generating a visible light by using the emitted electron. The electrode part includes an electron-transporting electrode transporting electrons from an exterior and an electron-emitting electrode on the transporting electrode to activate emission of the electrons to the discharge spaces.

Abstract:
A cold-cathode fluorescent lamp, comprising a sealed lighting enclosure provided with a phosphor coating on at least part of an inner surface thereof the lighting enclosure. An electrode is provided juxtaposed a region of the inner surface of the lighting tube, the electrode energisable from an external source of energy via an electric lead supporting the electrode, and positioned adjacent the main ionisation region within the lighting enclosure. The phosphor is to be excited by radiation to be generated inside the lighting tube by electric discharge from the electrode to provide visible radiation. At least part of the surface(s) of that portion of the electrode proximal most to the ionisation region are overlaid by a cap made from a high heat resistive and non conductive material.
