There is provided a surface light source device comprising: a light source body including a plurality of discharge spaces therein, a first electrode and a second electrode applying a first voltage into the discharge spaces and arranged parallel to each other, and a third electrode applying a second voltage into the discharge spaces and facing the first and second electrodes and arranged in a direction of crossing the first and second electrodes. In accordance with the present invention, the discharge firing voltage and sustain voltage of the surface light source device can be lowered by applying the first and second voltage to the electrodes. Further, it is possible to divisionally drive the surface light source device by sequentially and/or selectively applying a voltage to divided parts of each electrode.

There are provided a method of manufacturing a surface light source device, and an apparatus for manufacturing a surface light source device using the method. According to the method, a light source body including a plurality of discharge spaces into which a discharge gas is injected is formed. Impurities being present in the discharge spaces are removed. A mercury gas is diffused into the discharge spaces. Then, the light source body is rapidly cooled from the temperature at which mercury exists in the gaseous state to a room temperature. The time for the mercury gas to be within the range of temperature at which the mercury gas is liquefied is significantly shortened, thereby preventing the liquefied mercury from moving to the region having a low temperature in the discharge spaces.

A surface treatment layer containing alkali metal oxide is formed on at least one of substrates to form a body of a surface light source. The surface treatment layer may be formed of oxide by coating at least one of cesium, potassium, rubidium, and compound thereof on the surface of the substrate and by performing heat treatment to the substrate. The surface treatment layer containing alkali metal oxide easily emits secondary electrons and reduces firing voltage of the surface light source. Black start is improved, discharging efficiency is increased, and heat generated during the operation is decreased.
