Abstract
The discharge phenomena in a flat fluorescent lamp for the backlight unit of liquid crystal displays are simulated by sung a two-dimensional fluid model. The numerical methods for the calculation of plasma dynamics and the radiation transport are introduced for the discharge simulation and for the transmission of the vacuum ultraviolet lights. The simulation results are presented to compare the luminance and the luminance efficacy with the variation of gas pressure, gas mixture ratio, driving voltage, and frequency.
