Abstract

Abstract A lamp includes a glass bulb sealing a filament therein. A light interference film is formed on a surface of the bulb. The film has at least five layers and is formed by alternately stacking a low-refractive index layer comprising silicon oxide and a high-refractive index layer having a refractive index higher than said low-refractive index layer. The low-refractive index layer contains, at least one additive selected from the group consisting of phosphorus and boron.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 75 words
A lamp comprising: a glass bulb sealing a filament therein; and a light interference film formed on a surface of the bulb and having at least five layers, the film being formed by alternately stacking a low-refractive index layer comprising silicon oxide and a high-refractive index layer having a refractive index higher than said low-refractive index layer, said low-refractive index layer containing, at least one additive selected from the group consisting of phosphorus and boron.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 75 words
A lamp comprising: a glass bulb sealing a filament therein; and a light interference film formed on a surface of the bulb and having at least five layers, the film being formed by alternately stacking a low-refractive index layer comprising silicon oxide and a high-refractive index layer having a refractive index higher than said low-refractive index layer, said low-refractive index layer containing, at least one additive selected from the group consisting of phosphorus and boron.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 30 words
A lamp according to claim 1, wherein a total amount of phosphorus in terms of phosphorus and boron in terms of boron trioxide is about 3 to 20% by weight.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 25 words
A lamp according to claim 1, wherein each of the low-refractive index layers contains the additive in an amount of 5 to 10% by weight.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 16 words
A lamp according to claim 1, wherein the additive is in the form of phosphorus pentoxide.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 16 words
