Abstract:
A surface light source device includes a first substrate, a second substrate and a hollow electrode. The second substrate is combined with the first substrate to form a plurality of discharge spaces. The second substrate includes a plurality of recesses. The hollow electrode is disposed in each of the discharge spaces under the recesses of the second substrate, respectively. The surface light source device further includes an external electrode disposed on a lower surface of the first substrate corresponding to the hollow electrode. The external electrodes are on an outer surface of the lamp body, and are partially overlapped with the discharge spaces. The hollow electrode may have a rectangular tube or other suitable shape. As a result of the foregoing construction, the life span of the surface light source device may increase, and the light emitting efficiency may similarly increase.

A display apparatus includes a top substrate, a middle substrate, and a bottom substrate. The top substrate includes a first substrate. The middle substrate includes a second substrate, an anode electrode and a fluorescent layer. The second substrate includes an upper surface facing the first substrate and a lower surface that is opposite to the upper surface. An array layer is formed on either the upper surface of the second substrate or a lower surface of the first substrate. The anode electrode is formed on the lower surface of the second substrate. The fluorescent layer is formed on the anode electrode. The bottom substrate includes a third substrate and a cathode electrode formed on the third substrate such that the cathode electrode faces the fluorescent layer. Therefore, a thickness may be reduced and luminance of a light may be enhanced.

Abstract:
A light-generating device includes a driving substrate and a plurality of light source arrays. The driving substrate has a rectangular planar shape. The plurality of light source arrays is formed on the driving substrate. The light source arrays include at least one light emitting diode to generate light in response to power being applied through the substrate, and the light source arrays are spaced apart from each other. Thus, heat generated from the light-generating device is rapidly dissipated from the light-generating device, improving brightness of the light, brightness uniformity of the light and color reproducibility of the light.
Abstract:
A flat-type light source device includes a first substrate, an electrode, and a second substrate. The first electrode is disposed on the first substrate, and spaced apart from a second electrode. The second substrate includes a connection portion. The second substrate is combined with the first substrate to form a plurality of discharge spaces. The second substrate has a recess in the discharge space portions. The recess is formed adjacent to an end portion of the second substrate, which is substantially parallel to the discharge space portion. The connection portion includes a contact hole. The first electrode is partially exposed through the connection portion. Therefore, the electrodes may be easily electrically coupled to an inverter, and a size of the flat-type light source device may decrease.
Abstract:
A surface light source device includes a light source body, first and second electrodes, a light reflecting layer, and a fluorescent layer. The light source body is configured to generate light. The first and second electrodes are each disposed adjacent to a corresponding opposite end portion of the light source body. The first and second electrodes receive a discharge voltage that creates a potential difference across the light source body. The light reflecting layer is disposed at an internal surface of the light source body. The light reflecting layer includes light diffusing particles having at least two sizes. The fluorescent layer is disposed at selected regions of the light source body. Therefore, the light reflecting layer is not deformed by heat and enhances reflectivity without changing a color coordinates.

First and second electrodes may be formed on an outer face of the first substrate or the second substrate, and the first and second electrodes have a plurality of openings corresponding to the space-dividing portions. The openings have a first opening width along a longitudinal direction of the space-dividing portions, which is smaller than a line width of the first and second electrodes. The light source may be used in a flat panel display apparatus, such as a liquid crystal display apparatus.

A surface light source device includes a light source body having a plurality of partitioned discharge spaces extended in a first direction, first, second and third electrodes. The first and second electrodes are disposed at each end portion of the light source body, respectively and extended in a second direction that crosses the first direction. The third electrode is extended in the second direction, and the third electrode is disposed between the first and second electrodes, such that the third electrode overlaps with the partitioned discharge spaces. A discharge start voltage is applied to the third electrode that overlaps with partition member, so that deflection caused by interference between the partition members is reduced. Additionally, the discharge voltage is lowered.

The partition member has a passage connecting between the discharge spaces.

The visible light generating unit generates a visible light from the operation gas of the discharge spaces. Therefore, process of manufacturing the surface light source device is simplified to enhance productivity.
