Abstract

A liquid crystal display module includes: a liquid crystal display panel, a surface light-emitting lamp irradiating light to the liquid crystal display panel by a surface light-emission, and a power source supplying an electric power to the surface light-emitting lamp. The surface light-emitting lamp includes a frame having a light-emitting space, a first barrier rib formed partitioning the lamp into light-emitting spaces and electrode pairs for generating electric fields in the light-emitting spaces, respectively.

Claims (36)

1. A liquid crystal display module comprising:

a liquid crystal display panel;

a surface light-emitting lamp irradiating the liquid crystal display panel by a surface light-emission; and

a power source supplying an electric power to the surface light-emitting lamp,

wherein the surface light-emitting lamp includes:

a frame having a plurality of light-emitting spaces; and

a plurality of electrode pairs for generating electric fields in the light-emitting spaces, respectively, and

wherein the electrode pairs include:

a plurality of first electrodes, each first electrode generating an electric field in each of the light-emitting spaces; and

a plurality of second electrodes, each second electrode corresponding to the first electrode and having a plurality of protrusions.

2. The liquid crystal display module according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a transparent substrate arranged on the frame.

3. The liquid crystal display module according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an inert gas filling the light-emitting spaces.

4. The liquid crystal display module according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a phosphor applied to an inside wall of each of the light-emitting spaces.

5. The liquid crystal display module according to claim 1 , wherein each of the protrusions protrudes toward the first electrode adjacent to the second electrode.

6. The liquid crystal display module according to claim 1 , wherein the power source comprises a plurality of power sources, each power source supplying electric power to each of the electrode pairs, respectively.

7. The liquid crystal display module according to claim 1 , wherein the power source commonly supplies the electric power to each of the electrode pairs.

8. A surface light-emitting lamp for a display, comprising:

a frame having a plurality of light-emitting spaces; and

a plurality of electrode pairs for generating electric fields in the light-emitting spaces, respectively,

wherein the electrode pairs include:

a plurality of first electrodes, each first electrode generating an electric field in each of the light-emitting spaces; and

a plurality of second electrodes, each second electrode corresponding to the first electrode and having a plurality of protrusions.

9. The surface light-emitting lamp according to claim 8 , further comprising:

a transparent substrate arranged on the frame.

10. The surface light-emitting lamp according to claim 8 , further comprising:

an inert gas filling the light-emitting spaces.

11. The surface light-emitting lamp according to claim 8 , further comprising:

a phosphor applied to an inside wall of each of the light-emitting spaces.

12. The surface light-emitting lamp according to claim 8 , wherein each of the protrusions protrudes toward the first electrode adjacent to the second electrode.

13. The surface light-emitting lamp according to claim 8 , further comprising:

a plurality of power sources, each power source supplies electric power to each of the electrode pairs, respectively.

14. The surface light-emitting lamp according to claim 8 , further comprising:

a power source that commonly supplies the electric power to each of the electrode pairs.
