We developed the high-performance electrodes of a lamp used for backlighting liquid crystal displays. The discharge characteristics of the electrodes were measured. The electrodes used for discharge lamp were cylinder type (cup type). MgO has a high secondary electron emission. The MgO film was grown in Ni cup of 4 mm inner diameter by DC sputtering. The cathode voltages of a lamp with the electrodes coated in MgO thin films were simultaneously measured with a high voltage probe connected to a digital oscilloscope when the lamp was operated by a sine-wave power supply under the same discharge condition. The maintained voltages of electrodes coated in MgO thin films were 60 % lower than those of Ni. It was hardly sputtered in discharge tube with the MgO electrodes.
