Planar plasma lamp and method of manufacture

摘要

A lamp including a first and second lamp substrate with a first and second external electrode, respectively, and a first and second internal phosphor coating, respectively, wherein the first phosphor coating is a phosphor monolayer. A method of manufacturing a lamp, including screen-printing a phosphor monolayer on a first lamp substrate; screen-printing a phosphor layer on a second lamp substrate; joining the phosphor-coated faces of the first and second lamp substrates together with a seal; and joining a first and second electrode to the uncoupled exterior faces of the first and second lamp substrates, respectively.

1. A method of manufacturing a plasma lamp, comprising:
screen printing a first phosphor layer on a broad face of a first planar lamp substrate; screen printing a second phosphor layer on a second broad face of a second planar lamp substrate; sealing the perimeters of the first and second broad faces together, wherein the first and second broad faces are positioned a separation distance apart; fabricating a first and second electrode, comprising:
screen-printing a first and second buss electrode along the perimeter of a broad face of a first and second electrode substrate, the electrode substrates each comprising a glass plate coated on a broad face with a transparent conductive film comprising transparent conductive oxide, wherein screen-printing the first and second buss electrodes comprises:
removing the transparent conductive oxide from perimeters of the glass plates; andscreen-printing the first and second buss electrodes over the respective transparent film along the transparent film perimeter; joining the first electrode to a third broad face after fabricating the first electrode, the third broad face comprising an uncoupled broad face of the first substrate; and joining the second electrode to a fourth broad face after fabricating the second electrode, the fourth broad face comprising an uncoupled broad face of the second substrate.
