Abstract
Abstract A pitted light diffusive coating having an excellent light diffusion effect and a method of forming the coating and a halogen lamp with the coating are disclosed. The light diffusive coating includes pits on the surface of a continuous coating consisting of a metal oxide formed on a base, and the coating is substantially free of bubbles. The pitted light diffusive coating is formed by coating a base with an organometallic compound and a high boiling-point organic solvent and baking the coating at about 400° C. to 500° C. The halogen lamp has a pitted light diffusive coating formed on an infrared reflective coating on the surface of the outer vessel. Strain, caused by the difference in the thermal expansion coefficient of the structural material of the outer vessel and the structural material of the light diffusive layer occurring when the outer vessel is at a high temperature, is absorbed by the pitted structure, and peeling is prevented.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
68 words
A method of forming a light diffusive coating, comprising the steps of: (i) coating an organometallic compound containing a high boiling-point organic solvent on a base; and (ii) forming a pitted metallic oxide coating which is substantially free of bubbles on said base by baking said organometallic compound containing said high boiling point solvent at a temperature of 400° C. to 500° C. to obtain said pitted coating.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
68 words
A method of forming a light diffusive coating, comprising the steps of: (i) coating an organometallic compound containing a high boiling-point organic solvent on a base; and (ii) forming a pitted metallic oxide coating which is substantially free of bubbles on said base by baking said organometallic compound containing said high boiling point solvent at a temperature of 400° C. to 500° C. to obtain said pitted coating.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said high boiling-point solvent is di-(2-ethylhexly) adipate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said high boiling point solvent has a boiling point of at least 282° C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
45 words
A lamp comprising: a transparent glass outer vessel; a light diffusive pitted coating substantially free of bubbles formed on the outer surface of said outer vessel; and a filament sealed inside said outer vessel, wherein said light diffusive coating consists essentially of a metal oxide.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
45 words
A lamp comprising: a transparent glass outer vessel; a light diffusive pitted coating substantially free of bubbles formed on the outer surface of said outer vessel; and a filament sealed inside said outer vessel, wherein said light diffusive coating consists essentially of a metal oxide.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
63 words
A halogen lamp comprising: a transparent glass outer vessel; a coating which allows visible light to pass through, but reflects infrared light, formed on the outer surface of said outer vessel; a pitted light diffusive coating substantially free of bubbles; and a filament placed in the central section of said outer vessel, wherein said light diffusive coating consists essentially of a metal oxide.
