Abstract:
A low-pressure mercury-vapor discharge lamp is provided with a discharge vessel and a first and a second end portion (12a). The discharge vessel encloses a discharge space provided with a filling of mercury and an inert gas in a gastight manner. Each end portion (12a) supports an electrode (20a) arranged in the discharge space. An electrode shield (22a) encompasses at least one of the electrodes (20a) and is made from a ceramic material. Preferably, the electrode shield (22a) is tubular in shape with a lateral slit directed towards the discharge space. The lamp according to the invention has a comparatively low mercury consumption.

Abstract:
An organic electroluminescent display (EL) device which can prevent damage to layers due to a deposition mask in forming a light emitter layer or cathode using a deposition mask, and can prevent the short-circuit between a first electrode formed on a transparent substrate and a second electrode corresponding to the first electrode and can prevent deterioration of layer characteristics, and a method of manufacturing the same. The organic EL device includes a substrate made of a transparent material, a first electrode unit having a plurality of electrodes formed on the substrate in a predetermined pattern, a second electrode unit having a plurality of electrodes arranged in a direction crossing the first electrode unit, an electroluminescent layer disposed between the first electrode unit and the second electrode unit and configured to cover at least the first electrode unit and to emit light at the intersection of the first and second electrode units, inter-insulators positioned under the electroluminescent layer so as to cover at least spaces of each of the respective electrodes of the first electrode unit, and configured to define the first electrode unit as a plurality of light emitting areas and to prevent the short-circuit between the first electrode unit and the second electrode unit, and insulating walls positioned on at least one of the top and bottom surfaces of the inter-insulators.
Abstract:
Ribs for an image display medium, which ribs can be retained between a pair of substrates. These image display medium ribs are formed by liquid injection molding (LIM molding), utilizing a heat-curable epoxy resin. In addition, the image display medium ribs are formed so as to have a cell-form arrangement.

Abstract:
A foil seal lamp in which even when a high temperature of the seal area is reached oxidation of the molybdenum metal foils and the molybdenum outer leads which have been placed in the seal area can be reliably prevented, and in which a long service life can be obtained. is achieved by providing the surfaces of the metal foil and the outer lead which are placed in the seal areas with protective coatings of crystalline molybdate. An increase in the amount of protective coating that can be carried is produced by surface roughening the outer leads.
Abstract:
A method for producing a high pressure discharge lamp including a luminous bulb enclosing a luminous substance inside and a sealing portion for retaining airtightness of the luminous bulb, includes preparing a glass pipe for a discharge lamp including a luminous bulb portion that will be formed into a luminous bulb of a high pressure discharge lamp and a side tube portion extending from the luminous bulb portion; inserting a glass member constituted by a second glass having a softening point lower than that of a first glass constituting the side tube portion into the side tube portion, and then heating the side tube portion so as to attach the glass member and the side tube portion; and after the attachment step, heating a portion including at least the glass member and the side tube portion at a temperature higher than a strain point temperature of the second glass and lower than a strain point temperature of the first glass.
Abstract:
A gas discharge lamp having a translucent envelope enclosing a light emitting assembly that includes a baffle and an anode separated by one or more spacers made of an electrically insulating material such as ceramic, which are oriented towards a heated cathode to receive electrons emitted therefrom. Each spacer has a front surface, a rear surface, a top surface and a bottom surface including a transverse cavity formed between the front and rear surfaces to permit electrons to flow through. The cavity extends from a first through-hole in the front surface to a second through-hole in the rear surface of the spacer. Further, the cavity includes a gap for allowing conductive materials that may sputter or evaporate from the anode or the baffle to escape from the cavity to prevent short circuiting between the anode and the baffle.
