The superposed discharge type ozonizer of high ozone concentration using vacuum discharge tube has been designed and manufactured. It consists of three electrodes(central electrode, internal electrode, and external electrode) and one discharge gap(discharge gap between internal electrode and external electrode), is a superposed silent discharge type ozonizer for which the AC high voltages applied to the central electrode within discharge tube and the internal electrode has a $180{[^\circ]}$ phase difference and for which the external electrode is a ground. Ozone is generated by overlapping silent discharge between central electrode and external electrode, and silent discharge between internal electrode and external electrode. At the moment, discharge characteristics and ozone generation characteristics were investigated in accordance with vacuum of discharge tube, discharge power of ozonizer, and quantity of supplied oxygen gas. In consequence, high ozone concentration can be obtained 8840[ppm].

In this paper, the luminance and resistance from different electrode materials of external electrode fluorescent lamp are measured and analyzed. New materials and process technology of external electrode are very important for the developed characteristics in lamp fabrication. This experiment, three different types for the forming of external electrode are Cu and Al taping, silver paste, Ni and Cu electrode-less plating methods. In the measurement of luminance, the results of brightness by Ni and Au plating methods for the external electrode on lamp glass are presented and also compared with the results by the methods using different electrode materials. The measured resistance values of Ni and Au plating process showed a little bit higher than that of silver paste process in spite of developed results of brightness. The Ni and Ni/Au plating processes are demonstrated best results and also showed a little bit different brightness due to different previous surface etching treatments.

The Belousov-Zhabotinskii system measured by a Pt electrode is investigated under external electrode current constraint. A dynamical analysis of the electrode reaction phase has been made by means of a linearized stability criterion valid for three-variable system. It turns out that limit cycle oscillatory regime and dynamical behaviors of the electrode reaction phase have been degenerated under periodical electrode current.

In this paper, an ozonizer, which can generate individual and superposed silent discharge, using three-phase voltage has been designed and manufactured. The ozonizer consists of 3 electrodes(Central Electrode, Internal Electrode and External Electrode) and 2 gaps(gap between Central Electrode and Internal Electrode, gap between Internal Electrode and External Electrode). Ozone is generated according to voltage supplying method to each electrode by individual silent discharge and three-phase superposed discharge. The characteristics of ozone generation were investigated with variation of discharge power and the quantity of supplied gas($O_2$). In case of individual silent discharge, the maximum values of ozone concentration, ozone generation and ozone yield were obtained between internal electrode and external electrode, and its values were 2300[ppm], 570[mg/h] and 745[g/kWh] respectively. Each maximum values was 5039[ppm], 1773[mg/h] and 851[g/kWh] respectively, when three-phase superposed silent discharge was employed. Therefore, characteristics of ozone generation with three-phase voltage are improved compared with single-phase voltage because silent discharge is generated continuously.

Characteristic properties of fluorescent lamps operated by capacitively-coupled external electrodes have been investigated. External electrode fluorescent lamps(EEFLs) are typically operated at low currents less than 10 mA, and high voltages of about 1.5 kV. Luminance of up to 20,000 cd/$\textrm m^2$ with efficiency of above 40 lm/W is achieved in EEFLs driven by square pulses of the frequency lower than 100 kHz. It is also found that the brightness and efficiency of external electrode fluorescent lamps depend on the electrode length whose optimum length is about 3 cm.

An external electrode fluorescent lamps (EEFLs) have the advantage of a long lifetime in the early stages of the study on plasma discharge, interest in the lamp continues. Studies on the operation of external electrode fluorescent lamps have focused mainly on its use of a type of high frequency (MHz). By performing high brightness using a square wave operation method with the low frequency below 100kHz, which is applied to a narrowed tube type lamp that has several mm of lamp diameter. To solve these problems of CCFL, EEFL (External Electrode Fluorescent Lamp) is introduced. Because electrode of EEFL is on the outer surface of discharge tube, the electrode is perfectly prevented from the sputtering by accelerated ions. And it is possible to drive the many CCFLs at the same time, because EEFL shows the positively resistant characteristic. But EEFL has the large non-radiative power loss in sheath. In this study the novel electrode structure was introduced in order to reduce non-radiative power loss in sheath of EEFL. The novel electrode structure comes from the idea to combine conceptually capacitive discharge with inductive discharge. Thus, this study verifies the change in the optical characteristics according to the change in electrode structure through a Maxwell's electromagnetic field simulation and examines the relationship between the change in the EEFL electrode structure and brightness by measuring the optical characteristics.
