“…Because of technical improvements and expanded market demands of liquid-crystal displays, the auxiliary two-dimensional backlight module embedded in LCD visual and consumer systems is becoming more and more important. 1,2 Light sources or lamps are one of the key components in the auxiliary backlight module and can be structurally classified into a point-like lighting source with zero-dimensional characteristics for the light-emitting diodes, 3,4 a linear lighting source with the one-dimensional characteristics of the coldcathode fluorescent lamp, 5,6 and a plane-like lighting source with two-dimensional characteristics of a flat-discharge fluorescent lamp and CNT-based field emission devices. 7,8 Flat fluorescent lamp (FFL) technology makes it possible to produce two-dimensional lighting from a single lamp.…”

Abstract— A novel flat discharge fluorescent lamp used as the light source of backlight modules for LCDs and general lighting systems has been researched and developed. This new type of lamp is a less‐mercury flat fluorescent lamp with two‐dimensional emission and superior to conventional one‐dimensional cold‐cathode fluorescent lamps in terms of optics, energy‐savings, production efficiency, reliability, and chromatic performances. Physical characterization of the optics, temperature, mechanical design, thermal shocking, reliability, and corresponding environments have verified that flat fluorescent lamps will be the next‐generation light sources for backlight modules and general lighting systems.
