  • Fluorescent display tube with touch switch and method of forming electrode and wiring of same
    Patent number: 9184017
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a fluorescent display tube with a touch switch allowing electrodes such as touch electrode, anode electrode, and wirings thereof to be formed on the same substrate at the same time, and having an easy structure, and to provide a method of forming the electrodes and wirings of the fluorescent display tube. The anode electrodes, the touch electrodes, the shield electrode, and the anode wirings are formed on the front substrate. The shield electrode is formed in between the touch electrodes and the anode electrodes, and in between the touch electrodes and the anode wirings. The shield electrode is made of a continuous single conductive film. The touch electrodes are so formed as to surround the corresponding one of the anode electrodes.

  • Driving IC-incorporated fluorescent display device
    Patent number: 9035542
    Abstract: In a driving IC-incorporated fluorescent display device, a filament end-supporting member including a structure which has a short distance between a filament and an anode substrate and is not compromised to shielding effect of the driving IC is provided. An end portion of the filament is sandwiched between a tabular support which is attached to a tabular portion of a retainer plate and a ribbon, and the ribbon is fixed to the support by spot welding. The support consists of a slit. The filament is opposed to the slit and extends to longitudinal direction of the slit. The opposite side of the filament of the slit is closed by the retainer plate.
