The invention relates to a fluorescent lamp (1) adapted for cold environments, which comprises an elongated main tube (11), fixing devices (12) at each end of the fluorescent lamp (1) for fixing the fluorescent lamp (1) in a light fitting (27), two electrodes (15) placed inside the main tube (11), a heat-insulating outer tube (20) that surrounds the main tube (11) and creates an airspace (22) between the main tube (11) and the outer tube (20). Each fixing device (12) comprises an end cap (41) with a radial part (41b), that delimits an outer end plane of the fluorescent lamp (1), and with an axial peripheral part (41a), that is connected to an end of the outer tube (20). An axial spacer (29, 31) with low heat conductivity has a first end part (33) that is connected to an end (34) of the main tube (11) and a second end part (38) that adjoins the outer end plane and keeps the main tube (11) separate from the end cap (41) in order to reduce the transmission of heat from the main tube (11) to the end cap (41) and the outer tube (20).

An image formation apparatus is disclosed which includes, within an enclosure configured by a pair of substrates placed face to face and an external frame placed between the substrates, an electron source placed on one of the pair of substrates, an image formation material placed on the other substrate, and spacers placed between the substrates, characterized in that the spacers and the external frame is conductive and device is provided for electrically connecting the spacers and the external frame so that the equipotential surfaces between the spacers and the external frame are quasi-parallel when driven.

A display apparatus includes an array substrate including a display area composed of a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix, and a sealing substrate disposed to be opposed to the array substrate. The display area includes a pixel switch that selects a pixel, a drive control device connected to the pixel switch, and an organic EL device driven by the drive control device. A support section is disposed in a frame shape on an outer peripheral portion of the display area such that a predetermined gap is provided between the array substrate and the sealing substrate.

An incandescent bulb filament having a flat Light-emitting surface and high Lamp efficiency and an incandescent bulb using this filament are provided. This incandescent bulb filament is characterized in that it is a filament of ribbon shape placed on one plane, and it includes: spaced portions which are placed side by side with spaces; and connecting portions which connect the spaced portions electrically in series. Each spaced portion has a thickness that is one half the width of the spaced portion or more, and the space between at least one pair of adjacent spaced portions is less than five times the width of the spaced portion.

Methods for connecting electrical potential to an extractor cup at the cathode of a miniature x-ray tube are disclosed. The various connection schemes are designed to form a rugged and conveniently manufacturable connection between the metal extractor cup and one side of the cathode filament, so that the extractor cup shapes the path of electrons as desired en route to the anode of the tube. Some of the disclosed connections involve evaporation of conductive metal or other materials off the filament when the filament is first activated. Others involve applying a paste or paint conductive precursor directly to a base to connect a post and the extractor, the paste being heat-cured after the completion of assembly. Others involve a fine wire or spring strip from one filament post to the walls of the extractor cup. Other schemes include welded or brazed wires or foil, crimping, pinching, swaging and other connections, all made inside the tube enclosure.

A carbon nanotube device in accordance with the invention includes a support structure including an aperture extending from a front surface to a back surface of the structure. At least one carbon nanotube extends across the aperture and is accessible through the aperture from both the front surface and the back surface of the support structure.
