Abstract:
Disclosed is a new and useful discharge lamp for use in applications, such as tanning and technical lighting, and a method of making the same. The discharge lamp includes, inter alia, a vitreous tube having an axial length, a base phosphor coating applied on the interior of the tube along the entire axial length, and at least one phosphor over-coat applied over the base phosphor coating in one or more axial regions of the vitreous tube. The phosphor over-coat is applied to less than the total length of the vitreous tube. In a representative embodiment, the vitreous tube has an outer periphery which is smooth, but in alternate embodiments, a helical groove path is formed therein over at least a portion of the axial length.
Abstract:
In an electron tube, an atomic layer deposition method is used to form an electrical resistance film having a stacked structure of electrically insulating layers and electrically conductive layers or a mixed structure of an electrically insulating material and an electrically conductive material, so as to cover the whole of an inner wall surface and an outer wall surface of a second envelope. By use of the atomic layer deposition method, the firm and fine electrical resistance film with a desired resistance can be formed on an insulation surface, without containing a material such as a binder. When the electrical resistance film is provided with slight electrical conductivity, it can suppress occurrence of withstand voltage failure due to electrification of the insulation surface or the like and realize stability of withstand voltage characteristics.
Abstract:
An ion generation method uses a direct current discharge ion source provided with an arc chamber formed of a high melting point material, and includes: generating ions by causing molecules of a source gas to collide with thermoelectrons in the arc chamber and producing plasma discharge; and causing radicals generated in generating ions to react with a liner provided to cover an inner wall of the arc chamber at least partially. The liner is formed of a material more reactive to radicals generated as the source gas is dissociated than the material of the arc chamber.

Abstract:
A cap layer is placed on a substrate of inexpensive glass prior to subsequent processing to form emitter tips. The cap layer substantially reduces shrinkage of the substrate, significantly improves uniform formation of silicon tips, and substantially eliminates delamination of silicon layers from the substrate.
