Abstract

We report the techniques to obtain the high uniformity of the phosphor film thickness in the cold cathode fluorescent lamps, which are widely used as a back-light for the liquid crystal display. The thickness variation of the phosphor layer was sensitive to blowing conditions. The optimum conditions were obtained at flow rate of 15 sccm for 30 min at 40 $^{\circ}C$. The optimum and uniform thickness of a phosphor layer gives good luminous output.
