Method of manufacturing fluorescent lamp and fluorescent lamp manufactured using the same

Abstract

Disclosed herein are a method of manufacturing a fluorescent lamp and a fluorescent lamp manufactured using the same. The method includes preparing a flare having an upper surface that corresponds to a cross-sectional area of a glass tube of the lamp, manufacturing a stem by forming a lead-in wire and an exhaust tube that pass from a lower surface of the flare to the upper surface thereof and connecting a filament to the lead-in wire of the stem, and melting a circumference of the upper surface of the flare of the stem, introducing the filament into the glass tube via an opening thereof, and contact sealing the upper surface of the flare to an end of the glass tube in such a way that the stem is located outside the glass tube.
