A fluorescent lamp includes two glass outer tubes (6, 7), a bridge junction (8), and first glass inner tubes (9, 10). One end of each of the glass outer tubes is closed, and the other end is sealed with stems (4, 5) for supporting electrodes (13). A phosphor is applied to the inside surface of each of the glass outer tubes. The bridge junction connects the glass outer tubes at the other end portion to form a discharge space inside the glass outer tubes. The first glass inner tubes are provided in the glass outer tubes, respectively. A phosphor is applied to the surface of each of the first glass inner tubes. One end of each of the first glass inner tubes is open and disposed at the closed ends of the glass outer tubes, and the other end is sealed with the tips of the stems so that the electrodes are positioned in the first glass inner tubes.

A method for manufacturing a glass tube used for a fluorescent lamp having an arc tube constructed by joining a plurality of glass tubes is provided. According to this method, a straight glass tube held at both ends is rotated, and a predetermined cutting portion of the glass tube is softened by heating, and then the glass tube is moved in the heated state in the direction toward the predetermined cutting portion to form a glass accumulated portion at the area of the predetermined cutting portion. Next, the glass tube is drawn away in the direction receding from the predetermined cutting portion, and the predetermined cutting portion of the glass tube is cut into two glass tubes having self-closing end walls. In this way, the end walls of the self-closed glass tubes can be formed thicker and more uniform compared to those obtained by the conventional techniques, and the mechanical strength of the end walls also can be improved. As a result, the defective percentage of the lamps during the manufacturing process and on the market due to cracks, leakage, or damages in the end walls of the glass tubes can be reduced.

Two arc tubes which are to be connected are held at different levels. Predetermined portions in the vicinity of an end of each arc tube are evenly heated and softened by a flame of a burner from the side. An air flow is supplied to blowing up the softened portion to form a semi-junction bridge having a circular cross-section and a flat connecting face. The thickness of the wall of the semi-junction bridge is even. The arc tubes having the semi-junction bridges are disposed on the same plane and one arc tube is moved to the other to connect the semi-junction bridges while the connecting faces are softened.

Pressed shape steel, made of a low cost general steel material that is not hardened, forms a frame with long grooves cut therein. Guide rails, made of a specialized steel material that can be subjected to a hardening treatment, are hardened. Thereafter, outer surfaces of the hardened guide rails are ground and the guide rails are integrally joined in the long grooves. Ball-rolling grooves are formed in the guide rails, thereby completing a guide-equipped frame for an actuator. Because the general steel material and the specialized steel material are principally ferrous materials, both exhibiting a Young's modulus at or above 170 GPa with substantially the same coefficient of linear thermal expansion, the frame needn't be increased in size or have a complex internal structure to reinforce the strength of the frame, and the guide rails remain securely retained in the grooves even if the actuator experiences changes in temperature.

A direct drive bearing mechanism comprises guide plates which are installed to retaining recesses of a guide block and each of which has a plurality of hemispherical dimples, race members which are installed to a guide rail and each of which has a groove having a circular arc-shaped cross section, and a plurality of balls each of which rotates in each of the dimples and which slide along the grooves so that the balls do not circulate.

A rotary driving source is connected to one end of a frame. The rotary driving force of the rotary driving source is transmitted to a slider by the aid of a driving pulley, a belt member, and a driven pulley. The slider is displaced in the axial direction of the frame while being guided by a guide mechanism. Each of the frame and the slider is formed of, for example, an aluminum alloy. First guide rails are installed in the frame and second guide rails are installed in side surfaces of the slider. The first guide rails and the second guide rails are formed of a metal material subjected to a hardening treatment.

An actuator comprises a pump-driving section which is driven and rotated by a current, and a pump mechanism which is connected to the pump-driving section and which sucks/discharges a pressure oil. A cylinder mechanism, which has a piston that is displaceable in the axial direction by being supplied with the pressure oil, is provided on the pump-driving section and the pump mechanism. The amount of discharge of the pressure oil to the cylinder mechanism is adjusted by freely changing the angle of inclination of a tilting member provided in the pump mechanism.

The present invention aims to provide an external-electrode discharge lamp able to suppress luminance variation, a manufacturing method for the lamp, and a backlight unit. A lamp (10) of the present invention includes a glass tube (11) sealed at both ends, and electrodes (18) and (19) provided around outer circumferential peripheries of the ends in the axial direction of the glass tube (11). During operation of the lamp (10), the electrodes (18) and (19) and the glass tube (11) between the electrodes (18) and (19) and a discharge space (14) equivalently function as first and second capacitors, whose capacitances are substantially the same.
