Typical and Latest Application: it was formed niobium cup electrode
(Nb electrode) by the deep drawing process, used in CCFL
(Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) for backlight in large TVs
and TFT LCD monitor, and for thinner frames in laptop,
replacing the conventional nickel cup electrode (Ni electrode)
made of Nickel strip, increasing a higher brightness by 5-10%
than the current mainstream nickel electrode (Ni electrode)
lamps, furthermore, achieved lower power consumption and
longer lifetime by lowering heat and improving light emission efficiency.
