  • Patent number: 7586253
    Abstract: An enhanced plane light source has a luminescent layer independently disposed in each recess formed on a light-transmittable substrate, so that field emission electrons directly impact the luminescent layer to produce light, which is not shielded by the cathode. The enhanced plane light source also includes a substrate forming a bottom structure thereof. The bottom substrate has a metal reflection surface to increase the reflectivity and upgrade light-emitting efficiency and luminous intensity. The recesses on the light-transmittable substrate have an approximate semi-circular or semi-parabolic cross section to increase the high field region at the cathode and the effective luminescent area at the anode, so that the luminous intensity and evenness are also largely increased.

  • Patent number: 7128805
    Abstract: A plasma generating device, has a plurality of cavities shaped like half-ellipsoids, a plasma cavity, and microwave sources. The present invention takes advantage of geometrical properties of the propagation of electromagnetic waves by enclosing an electromagnetic field in the microwave range in overlapping cavities that together are shaped like a plurality of half ellipsoids. Each of the cavities has a first focus and a second focus, with the first foci of the cavities place close to each other. Microwaves entering the cavities at the second foci propagate inside the cavity and are focused at the first foci. The area around the first foci of both half ellipsoids forms a plasma cavity, providing a large volume filled with a microwave field. Thereby an increased volume of an electromagnetic field and thus of a plasma is achieved.
