Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cold cathode fluorescent lamp which essentially comprises a discharge vessel coated on the inside with a phosphor which contains a filling component which emits UV light, two or more hollow cathodes made of one material of the group Mo, W, Nb, Ta and their alloys and two or more current feed-through pins made of a material of the group Mo, W and their alloys.
  • Cold cathode fluorescent lamps are used as backlighting for liquid crystal displays.
  • a low-pressure mercury discharge generates UV radiation, which is converted into visible light by a phosphor layer applied to the inside of the discharge vessel.
  • the discharge vessel is usually made of hard glass, such as borosilicate glass, and is usually tubular.
  • electrodes which have different shapes depending on the lamp type.
  • emission-promoting substances containing, for example, Ba, Sr, rare earth metals or yttrium
  • the contacting of the electrodes is carried out by current feedthrough pins. These are connected in a vacuum-tight manner to the discharge vessel by means of a squeezing or melting process.
  • the current feedthrough pin is provided with a glass bead, which is produced by the melting of a glass ring. This process is called glazing. Subsequently, the glass bead is connected to the discharge vessel by a crimping or melting process.

  • the current feedthrough pin is a ring, a ring segment, a
  • the ring, the ring segment, the hollow cylinder or the hollow cylinder segment is preferably made of a material having a significantly lower melting point compared to the hollow cathode, such as Ni, Fe, Co and their alloys.
  • the ring, the ring segment, the hollow cylinder or the Hollow cylinder segment has an inner diameter which is slightly larger than the diameter of the current feedthrough pin.
  • the height of the hollow cylinder or the hollow cylinder segment moves advantageously from 0.5x to 4x diameter of the hollow cylinder.
  • a ring or hollow cylinder segment (slotted ring, slotted hollow cylinder) is advantageous due to lower production costs.

Although it is thus unavoidable to avoid a local embrittlement of the hollow cathode bottom, which, however, since there is a cohesive connection between the hollow cathode and the current feedthrough pin via the ring or hollow cylinder, does not lead to a reduction in the service life. Cold cathode fluorescent lamps with the components according to the invention therefore show no reduction in the service life even when shaken.
