Abstract: A method for prolonging the life span of a planar light source generating apparatus is provided. The planar light source generating apparatus forms an emitting layer not only on a plurality of cathodes but on a plurality of gates as well. Moreover, an anode of the planar light source generating apparatus is electrically connected to a current sensor for reading out a maximum current density when the planar light source generating apparatus operates. To operate the planar light source generating apparatus, a DC square voltage is applied to the cathodes (or gates) while the gates (or the cathodes) are electrically connected to a ground. Once the current density detected by the current sensor drops to a definite ratio of the maximum value, the external voltage supplying the aforementioned cathodes and the gates are switched. Thus, the life span of the planar light source generating apparatus is prolonged.

It also reduces the driving voltage substantially. Therefore, the display in the dark is achieved by adjusting the voltage without changing the structure.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method for improving the uniformity of a flat panel light source and the light source thereof. It achieves a diffusion effect by blurring the lighting surface of the light module, thereby makes the outgoing lights more uniform. The blurring process can be performed on the inner or outer surface of a lighting substrate before a flat panel light source is assembled. Otherwise, the blurring process may be performed on an outer surface of an assembled light module. The invention is applicable to a field emission display (FED) back-light or front-light module. The lighting surface of a cathode plate module is blurred for an FED back-light source, and the lighting surface of an anode plate module for an FED front-light source.
