COMPACT FLUORESCENT LAMPS

摘要

A fluorescent lamp (100) is provided that facilitates high-brightness in a compact size needed for liquid crystal displays. The fluorescent lamp (100) comprises a plurality of interdigitated legs (102) arranged in multiple planes. By arranging the interdigitated legs (102) in multiple planes, the lamp (100) efficiently fills the available space, thus maximizing the lamp surface area in general, and the lamp surface area oriented toward the display in particular, all while maintaining relatively small overall dimensions.
