P‐84: Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps with MgO‐Coated Electrode

Abstract

Cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) adopting MgO‐Coated Electrode are investigated to be a high performance with respect to the reduction of lamp voltage and ignition voltage, the increase of luminance and efficiency, and the reduction of heat‐generation at the electrode in comparison with the conventional CCFLs.

“…Several materials have been studied to reduce the cathode fall voltage, thereby improving the luminous efficiency of CCFLs [26][27][28][29]. For example, it has been known that the luminous efficiency is improved by changing the cathode material from Ni to Mo, as a result of the reduction in the cathode fall voltage.…”
