Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a flat fluorescent lamp and a liquid crystal display device, and more particularly to a flat surface light source capable of providing high uniformity A fluorescent lamp and a liquid crystal display device comprising the above planar fluorescent lamp. [Prior Art] With the advancement of modern video technology, liquid crystal display devices have been widely used in display screens of mobile phones, notebook computers, personal computers, and personal digital assistants (PDAs) and consumer electronic products. However, since the liquid crystal display panel of the liquid crystal display device itself does not have the function of emitting light, it is necessary to arrange a backlight module under the liquid crystal display panel to provide a light source required for the liquid crystal display panel, thereby enabling the liquid crystal display panel to achieve the display function. At present, the optical module in the city is mainly a flat fluorescent lamp (Fiat Fluorescent).

The planar fluorescent lamp 100 is driven by applying a driving voltage to the electrode group 140 to generate a discharge electric field E, and the discharge electric field E is to discharge the discharge gas 13 成 into a plasma. Thereafter, the electrons in the excited state of each ion in the plasma emit ultraviolet rays while returning to the ground state, and when the ultraviolet rays emitted from the plasma are irradiated to the fluorescent material 160, the fluorescent material 160 is excited to emit light. At present, most of the driving methods of planar fluorescent lamps use a controlled partial discharge method, for example, designing a plurality of bumps on the electrodes so that the electrodes generate tip discharges at the bumps. However, such a partial discharge method is liable to cause a local light source to generate a strong light intensity locally, thereby causing a regular shell dark father's wrong grain path, thereby affecting the overall uniformity of light emission of the planar fluorescent lamp.

In an embodiment of the invention, the time difference between the first light-emitting area and the second light-emitting area is between 〇 〇〇丨 sec and 〇 sec. In the planar fluorescent lamp of the present invention, since the first light-emitting region and the second light-emitting region described above do not at least partially overlap. @This, the uniformity of the planar glory illumination can be improved by driving the first and second illuminating regions of the planar fluorescent lamp to emit light in turn.
