Flat-type fluorescent lamp, liquid crystal display having the same, and method thereof

摘要

A flat-type fluorescent lamp and liquid crystal display having minimum pin-shaped holes include a first substrate, a second substrate forming a plurality of discharging spaces together with the first substrate, and external electrodes that cover the outer edge surfaces of the first and the second substrates while perpendicularly extending across the discharging spaces. The second substrate is substantially as thick as the first substrate, especially at the position covered by the external electrodes.
