Patent ID: 7859183

Claim:
A flat-type fluorescent lamp comprising: upper and lower glass substrates facing each other; a spacer glass having a zigzag shape between the upper and lower glass substrates for providing a plurality of discharge areas; first and second electrode parts at ends of the upper and lower glass substrates along a longitudinal direction thereof; first and second reflective sheets respectively formed on upper and lower surfaces of the spacer glass; a plurality of first fluorescent substances formed on the upper glass substrate and a plurality of second fluorescent substances formed on the lower glass substrate; and a side glass formed at a side of the upper and lower glass substrates, wherein the side glass is formed at a predetermined interval from the spacer glass such that the discharge areas are discharged through a space formed by the predetermined interval, and wherein the discharge areas are exposed to external through the space formed by the predetermined interval; wherein the upper glass substrate includes a plurality of first fluorescent substance and first sealants, each first fluorescent substance positioning between adjacent two first sealant; wherein a discharge hole is formed at one corner of the upper glass substrate and is extended to the first fluorescent substance; wherein the lower glass substrate includes a plurality of second fluorescent substance and second sealants, each second sealant positioning between adjacent two second fluorescent substance; and wherein the first and second sealants fix the spacer glass to the upper and lower glass substrates.
