<p>A gas discharge tube of the present invention comprises a light-emitting section (2) in an envelope (1) sealing a gas therein, positioned at distal ends of lead pins (4a to 4e) and supported by the lead pins while spaced from an inner side wall of the envelope. The light-emitting section includes a hot cathode (7), an anode (8), a focusing electrode (13), and a discharge shielding member (6) having a front surface which faces to the hot cathode. The front surface of the discharge shielding member is defined by a first surface being in directly contact with the focusing electrode, for defining a position of said focusing electrode, a second surface continued from the first surface, for defining a distance between the focusing electrode and the anode, and a third surface continued from the second surface and being in directly contact with the anode, for defining a position of the anode.</p> |
