Abstract

A flat luminescence lamp includes a first substrate having a first surface and a second surface, a second substrate having a first surface disposed facing opposite to the first surface of the first substrate, a first luminescence layer formed on the first surface of the first substrate, a second luminescence layer formed on the first surface of the second substrate, and a plurality of grooves formed on the second surface of the first substrate.

Claims (29)

1. A method for fabricating a flat luminescence lamp, comprising the steps of:

forming a first substrate having a plurality of grooves through a first surface of the first substrate;

forming an insulating layer directly upon a second surface of the first substrate;

forming a plurality of first electrodes directly upon the insulating layer;

forming a plurality of second electrodes on a first surface of a second substrate disposed opposite to the second surface of the first substrate;

forming a first fluorescent material layer on the second surface of the first substrate;

forming a second fluorescent material layer formed on the first surface of the second substrate; and

forming a discharge space between the first substrate and the second substrate with a frame disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of first electrodes are formed upon the insulating layer.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising a step of forming a dielectric material layer between the plurality of first electrodes and the first fluorescent material layer, and forming a second dielectric material layer between the plurality of second electrodes and the second fluorescent material layer.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising steps of:

bonding the first substrate and the second substrate to oppose each other after the steps of forming the first and second fluorescent material layers; and

injecting a discharge gas into the discharge space between the first substrate and the second substrate.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the frame is formed from a paste made of a glass material.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of forming the first substrate includes the steps of coating a photosensitive material on a first surface of a metal layer, patterning the photosensitive material to form a mask pattern of a matrix form, and etching the metal layer to a depth by using the mask pattern as a mask.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating layer is formed to a predetermined thickness to electrically insulate the first substrate from the plurality of first electrodes.

8. The method according to claim 3 , further comprising the step of forming a reflective material layer upon the first dielectric material layer.

9. A method of fabricating a flat luminescence lamp, comprising the steps of:

forming a first substrate having a plurality of grooves through a first surface of the first substrate;

forming an insulating layer directly on a second surface of the first substrate;

forming a plurality of first electrodes directly on the insulating layer;

forming a first dielectric layer on the plurality of first electrodes and the insulating layer;

forming a reflective layer on the first dielectric layer;

forming a first fluorescent material layer on the reflective layer;

forming a plurality of second electrodes on a first surface of a second substrate disposed opposite to the second surface of the first substrate;

forming a second dielectric layer on the plurality of second electrodes and the first surface of the second substrate;

forming a second fluorescent material layer on the second dielectric layer; and

forming a discharge space between the first substrate and the second substrate with a frame disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate,

wherein the frame includes a plurality of frame portions formed on the second surface of the first substrate and the first surface of the second substrate to seal the first substrate and the second substrate.
