Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) is a gas discharge light source widely used for liquid crystal display (LCD) backlighting. We proposed applying diamond as a new cold cathode material for gas discharge. The first advantage of diamond is large ion-induced secondary electron yield (γ), which enables to reduce the power consumption of the CCFL. The second advantage is extremely low sputtering yield by ion bombardment, which is expected to extend the lifetime. In this work, we show stable and low (less than 50% of metal) cathode-fall voltage for a glass discharge tube.
