Abstract:
A display device includes a visible light reflecting layer and a fluorescent layer. The visible light reflecting layer transmits an invisible light. The visible light is reflected from the visible light reflecting layer. The fluorescent layer is on the visible light reflecting layer to generate a visible light in response to the invisible light that has passed through the visible light reflecting layer. The fluorescent layer transmits the visible light reflected from the visible light reflecting layer. Therefore, a manufacturing cost is decreased, and an efficiency of light is improved.
Abstract:
A lamp assembly includes a lamp and a lamp driving device. The lamp includes a body and first and second electrodes. The body converts invisible ray generated by a discharge into visible ray, and the electrodes are disposed on the body. The lamp driving device provides the first and second electrodes with first and second driving voltages, respectively, to generate the discharge. The first driving voltage is less than a first critical voltage at which a corona discharge occurs at the first and second electrodes. When the first electrode is electrically connected to a ground, the first critical voltage may be about 1,200 volts. When the second driving voltage has an inverted phase with respect to the first driving voltage, the first critical voltage is about 2,400 volts. An ozone gas may not be generated at the first and second electrodes to prevent the damage of the electrodes.
Abstract:
A flat-type fluorescent lamp includes a lamp body and a first external electrode. The first external electrode is positioned on an end portion of the lamp body. The first external electrode includes a main electrode portion and a first auxiliary electrode portion. The main electrode portion crosses end portions of the discharge spaces. The first auxiliary electrode portion protrudes from the main electrode portion. The first auxiliary electrode portion corresponds to an outer discharge space adjacent to a side of the lamp body. Therefore, a luminance of the flat-type fluorescent lamp may be made more uniform, thereby improving an image display quality. In addition, operation of the flat-type fluorescent lamp at a low temperature may be improved.
