    摘要: The object of this invention is to provide a gas discharge device which has a simple configuration, inexpensive, and has excellent luminous efficiency, for an ultraviolet or visible light source.The invention provides a gas discharge device in which first and second long electrodes extending toward either side along a longitudinal direction with a discharge gap interposed therebetween are provided outside of a back side flat surface of a thin glass tube, the thin glass tube filled with a discharge gas having a front side flat surface and the back side flat surface facing each other on a transverse section, wherein, starting with trigger discharge that is initially generated in the discharge gap as a result of a voltage increase when a voltage with a sine waveform or an inclined waveform is applied between both electrodes, the discharge gradually extends so as to move in the longitudinal direction of the electrodes. Ultraviolet light having high luminous efficiency and emission intensity is obtained from the flat surface at the front surface side by forming an ultraviolet phosphor layer in the thin glass tube and driving the device with a sine-wave voltage.

    摘要: A display device includes elongated display tubes each of which has a discharge gas filled and a phosphor layer formed in the tube; a flexible sheet; a plurality of electrodes; and an adhesive layer. Each of the tubes is flat elliptical in cross section and has a plane section. The flexible sheet abuts against the plane sections of the tubes to support the tubes. The plurality of electrodes are arranged on the tubes abutting surface of the flexible sheet, for applying a voltage to the tubes to generate discharges within the tubes. The adhesive layer is disposed on the tubes abutting surface of the flexible sheet to bond the flexible sheet to the plane sections of the tubes so that the electrodes of the flexible sheet face the plane sections when the flexible sheet abuts against the plane sections of the tubes.
