A display device capable of realizing a desired color temperature is
provided. Phosphor layers 5a, 5b and 5c, which are excited by ultraviolet
radiation produced by discharge and emit red, green and blue visible
light, are formed inside a red, green and blue gas discharge tube 1a, 1b,
and 1c, respectively. The height Yc of the phosphor layer 5c with respect
to a rear support body 20 is higher than the heights Ya and Yb of the
phosphor layers 5a and 5b with respect to the rear support member 20, and
establishes the relationship Yc>Ya=Yb. Therefore, the distance from
the phosphor layer 5c to the opposite discharge surface on a front
support body is shorter than those from the phosphor layers 5a and 5b,
the visible light emitted from the display device 10 is shifted toward
blue, that is, the color temperature increases.
