The layer nearest the discharge contains only phosphors, while deeper layers contain additionally successively higher proportions of a white pigment. The UV specific absorption of the pigment is less than 20% and preferably less than 10% of that of the least absorbent phosphor component. Suitable phosphors for good colour rendering are 1-5 micron grains of Alternatively Mn and Sb activated Ca halophosphates may be used. For the pigment preferably somewhat finer grains of C a P 2 O 7 or BaSO 4 are suitable. In an example with the stratum nearest the discharge containing 3 grams of phosphor and the deeper stratum containing controlled proportions of phosphor and pigment, curves (Fig. 2, not shown) show that compared with a single phosphor layer containing 6À5 grams of phosphor, a slight increase in brightness is achieved with, e.g. only 5 grams of total phosphor (2 gm. in deeper layer) and 4À5 grams of pigment. Beyond 6 grams of pigment adhesion fails. |
