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. The flat-type fluorescent lamp has high brightness and low power consumption.
