  • This paper presents an architecture for driving multiple paralleled cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs) for back lighting applications. Multi CCFL operation and increase of brightness, the key to the architecture is a proposed capacitive coupling approach for lamp ignition. This system is consist of a flyback converter, a single inverter to drive multiple lamps and conductive floating reflector. The topology is capable of driving a number of parallel lamps with independent accurate lamp, The capacitive coupling the leakage inductance and stray capacitance creation which it used, current regulation and improving cost effectiveness with significant reduction in size and weight, compared to typical high frequency ac ballast. Experimental demonstration results for ten of parallel CCFLs with simultaneous ignition.

  • This paper describes the first-year accomplishments in the R'||'&'||'D project entitled, "Electrodeless Fluorescent Lamp Technology Using High-Frequency Discharges (Linear and Circular Type)," supported by a contract from the Korea Energy Management Corporation (KEMCO). One of the most important accomplishments in the prihect is that the luminance of electrodeless fluorescent lamps is increased more than 25% when the hybrid technique of capacitive and inductive couplings is utilized for both linear and circular types of high-frequency discharge fluorescent lamps compared to the case where pure capacitive couplings are used. We present the results of the experiments and the status of the development efforts in the project.t.

  • An efficient management system of mercury-containing waste was designed by reviewing the management and treatment of spent fluorescent lamp in Korea and foreign countries. According to Waste Management Act in Korea, mercury-containing wastes from households are classified as municipal solid wastes even though mercury-containing wastes pose hazardous risks. In general, hence, mercury-containing wastes from households are not being managed properly because those wastes from households were not classified as specific wastes (or hazardous wastes). Some mercury-containing wastes are managed as a mandatory target item in waste charge system and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system under Act on Promotion for Saving and Recycling of Resources. An efficient management plan of mercury-containing wastes can be derived with an improved collection system, designating disposal sites and advanced treatment facilities for spent fluorescent lamps. Finally, the role of each agent involved from collection to disposal of mercury-containing wastes was suggested to establish the efficient management system for mercury-containing waste.

  • An external electrode fluorescent lamps (EEFLs) have the advantage of a long lifetime in the early stages of the study on plasma discharge, interest in the lamp continues. Studies on the operation of external electrode fluorescent lamps have focused mainly on its use of a type of high frequency (MHz). By performing high brightness using a square wave operation method with the low frequency below 100kHz, which is applied to a narrowed tube type lamp that has several mm of lamp diameter. To solve these problems of CCFL, EEFL (External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp) is introduced. Because electrode of EEFL is on the outer surface of discharge tube, the electrode is perfectly prevented from the sputtering by accelerated ions. And it is possible to drive the many CCFLs at the same time, because EEFL shows the positively resistant characteristic. But EEFL has the large non-radiative power loss in sheath. In this study the novel electrode structure was introduced in order to reduce non-radiative power loss in sheath of EEFL. The novel electrode structure comes from the idea to combine conceptually capacitive discharge with inductive discharge. Thus, this study verifies the change in the optical characteristics according to the change in electrode structure through a Maxwell's electromagnetic field simulation and examines the relationship between the change in the EEFL electrode structure and brightness by measuring the optical characteristics.

  • The characteristics of current and voltage in a basic discharge experiment are investigated for a cold cathode fluorescent lamp with ballast capacitors attached at both ends of lamp and for a capacitive coupled external electrode fluorescent lamp. In the current-voltage characteristics for a cold cathode fluorescent lamp except ballast capacitors, it is shown that the typical glow discharge with the cathode fall follows after the dark current and Townsend firing discharge. However, in the characteristics for a cold cathode fluorescent lamp including ballast capacitors, the current increases as the voltage increases in the glow discharge region without representing a cathode fall since the most voltage is loaded at two capacitors. The characteristics for the external electrode fluorescent lamp shows the same as that of the cold cathode fluorescent lamp in the respect of glow discharge characters, and the external electrode itself roles the ballast capacitor.

  • This paper presents that what's the right EOLL(End of Lamp Life) phenomenon on fluorescent lamp and how to detect it according to the lamp status. In normal end of life situation for fluorescent lamps is emitter depletion of the cathodes. So, in most cases, the discharge will extinguish and the lamp will not start. But if the ballast is capable of sustaining the discharge, a new condition arise. Especially, the T4 and T5 lamp which has a short distance from cathode to socket of lamp future must have the EOLL Protection function.

  • This paper deals with the effects of fluorescent lamp description and luminance level on the occupant's brightness perception and other sensation in building interiors. The following experiments were conducted: the subjects compared on room lit by daylight fluorescent lamps with the other room lit by the different lamp description at equal luminance at equal luminance level. The degree of that effect decreased with a rise in luminace level. The brightness perception had high correlation with the visual clarity and no correlation with favorite sensation.
