Abstract

In this paper, the brightmess from inside gas pressure, applied voltages, and operation frequency conditions was measured and the discharge characteristics in FFL(Flat Fluorescent Lamp) also were measured and discussed. The brightness and lifetime after vacuum exhaust ($350^{\circ}C$ and 1 hour) ate remarkably developed. When the gas pressure of lamp-inside is high, the brightness is also increased automatically. But for the stabilization of operation and driving voltage, the highest values of brightness at about 1000[V], 300[Torr] and 64(kHz) are measured and the results are shown as the optimized driving conditions for FFL.

이 논문은 가스압력으로부터 휘도, 인가된 전압과 구동 주파수 상태를 측정하였고, 평판형광램프의 방전특성을 측정하고 논의하였다. 진공 여기($350^{\circ}C$, 1시간)후 수명과 휘도는 놀랍게 향상되었다. 램프내에 가스 압력이 높을 때 또한 휘도는 자동적으로 증가했다. 그러나 구동전압과 동작의 안정화를 위하여 약 1000(V), 300(Torr), 640[Hz]에서 휘도의 최고 값이 측정되며, 그 결과는 FFL을 위한 최적화된 구동 조건으로써 보여 진다.
