Abstract

We developed a Flat Fluorescent Lamp(FFL) with a high luminance by using the same discharge mode as PDP. Our FFL has the simple and unique structure where the glass substrates are used as dielectric layers. The panel has a striped line shape of 7 inch diagonal size. The Xe-Ne-He mixture gas was used to generate the plasma, and the gas discharge characteristics under both total gas pressure and partial gas pressure were investigated. The panel showed a maximum high luminance $7,270cd/m^2$ under bias of 20KHz pulse of 3KV.
