Abstract: All of a transparent electrode layer 2, a light-emitting layer 3, a dielectric layer 4, a back-surface electrode 5, collecting electrodes 5a, 5b, and an insulating coat layer 6 are laminated with predetermined patterns by screen printing on an insulating transparent film 1. Conductive paste used for forming transparent electrode layer 2 comprises conductive powder of indium oxide which contains needle-like powder (A) and fine-gain powder (B) at a blending ratio of (A):(B)=100:0 to 20:80. A binder resin (D), being a photo-hardening or thermal-hardening resin, is mixed with the conductive powder (C) at a blending ratio of (C):(D)=45:55 to 95:5, thereby obtaining an excellent EL lighting element.

Abstract: A low-pressure mercury discharge lamp is provided with a tubular discharge vessel (10) with end portions (11, 11') having an ionizable filling comprising mercury and rare gas. An electrode (20, 20') is arranged in the discharge vessel at each end portion and is fastened to current supply conductors (30A, 30B; 30A', 30B') which are passed through the end portion to the outside of the discharge vessel. At least one current supply conductor is covered with an amalgam in a zone (35A, 35B) which is at a distance from the end portion (11) via a path along the current supply conductor (30A, 30B). The amalgam can be comparatively easily applied in the lamp.

Abstract: A field emitter device includes a column conductor, an insulator, and a resistor structure for advantageously limiting current in a field emitter array. A wide column conductor is deposited on an insulating substrate. An insulator is laid over the column conductor. A high resistance layer is placed on the insulator and is physically isolated from the column conductor. The high resistance material may be chromium oxide or 10%-50% wt % Cr+SiO. A group of microtip electron emitters is placed over the high resistance layer. A low resistance strap interconnects the column conductor with the high resistance layer to connect in an electrical series circuit the column conductor, the high resistance layer, and the group of electron emitters. One or more layers of insulator and a gate electrode, all with cavities for the electron emitters, are laid over the high resistance material. One layer of insulator is selected from a group of materials including SiC, SiO, and Si.sub.3 N.sub.4.

In order to reduce the danger of damage to the pinch seal 10 when the lamp is being mounted on its base, the pinch seal 10 is tapered is graduated fashion toward the base, and all the support tabs 21a, 21b, 22a, 22b, 23a, 23b that act upon the pinch seal 10 are oriented toward the broad sides of the pinch seal 10, which is substantially rectangular in cross section, while the narrow sides of the pinch seal 10 are located in the holder part 2 without touching it. The narrow sides of the pinch seal (10) are retained in the holder (2) spaced from the holder. Guide ribs (50a, 50b) are formed on the pinch seal (10) positioned off-center, and laterally relatively staggered.

Abstract: A light emitting device for use in lighting and/or display applications includes a UV/blue LED located in a depression having reflecting sidewalls, a light transmitting material surrounding the LED and filling the depression, and a phosphor in the form of particles either dispersed in the light transmitting material or adhered to the surface of the LED. The sidewalls reflect UV as well as visible light, thus enhancing the efficiency of the device. Optical filters located on the top of the LED and/or the bottom of a UV absorbing glass plate covering the depression further enhance efficiency and/or spectral characteristics of the emitted light.

Additional optical filters located on the top of the phosphor layer further enhance efficiency and/or spectral characteristics of the emitted light.
