Uninzi lwezibane ze-neon zisebenzisa i-cathode glow discharge (CCD) ebandayo. Ngenxa yokuba isibane sonke sivelisa phantse akukho bushushu ngexesha lokusebenza, ukusebenza kakuhle kokuguqula amandla ombane kumandla okukhanya kuphezulu. Ubomi bayo bude kakhulu kunezibane eziqhelekileyo ze-fluorescent. Ukuba umgangatho uqinisekisiwe kwizinto eziphathekayo, ukuveliswa, kunye nokufakelwa, ixesha lokuphila le-neon tubes linokufikelela kwiiyure ezingama-20,000-30,000. Imigangatho yendawo kwilizwe lam ifuna ubomi obuncinci beeyure eziyi-10000. Enye inzuzo ebalulekileyo yezibane zeCCD kukuba inani lemijikelo yokutshintsha ayinayo impembelelo kubomi babo, okubenza ukuba bafaneleke ngokukodwa kwizibane zentengiso ezifuna ukutshintsha rhoqo.
Ixhomekeke kwiiyoni ezilungileyo ezibhobhoza i-cathode, ebangela ukuba i-cathode ikhuphe ii-electron zesibini ukugcina ukukhutshwa. Ngoko ke, i-cathode ethile enokuthi yehla iyadingeka ukubonelela amandla okukhawulezisa i-ion ezintle; ukuhla okunokwenzeka kwe-cathode malunga ne-100V-200V.
Apho kunokwenzeka, iityhubhu zesibane ze-neon kufuneka zibe zinde kangangoko kwaye zibe nedayamitha encinci yangaphakathi ukuze kwandiswe umlinganiselo wokuhla kwamandla ombane wekholamu evumayo ekuthotyweni kombane opheleleyo wetyhubhu, ngaloo ndlela kuphuculwe ukusebenza kakuhle okukhanyayo.
Ukuqinisekisa ukutsha ngempumelelo kweityhubhu ze-neon kunye nokusebenza okuzinzileyo kumbane ophantsi ngokwentelekiso, -i-voltage transformer ephezulu (ubukhulu becala iyavuza{1}}uhlobo lwe-transformer, kodwa ngenxa yobuninzi bayo kunye nokusetyenziswa kwamandla aphezulu, iya kutshintshwa ngokuthe ngcembe ibe yeyombane) kufuneka ifakwe kwaye ifaniswe ngokufanelekileyo ukonga iindleko zeprojekthi.
Izibane zeNeon zisebenza ngokutshintshana ngoku (AC), ngoko ke ii-electrode ezimbini zisebenza njenge-cathode kunye ne-anode. Ukuhanjiswa kwendawo yabo yokukhutshwa okukhanyayo kwakhona kuyatshintshana ngokulandelelana kunye nolwalathiso. Ngenxa yokuzingisa kombono, ukukhanya kubonakala kugubungele ngokulinganayo ityhubhu yonke, okukhokelela kwisiphumo esikhanyayo ngakumbi kunokukhanya okuthe ngqo (DC). Ngoko ke, izixhobo kunye neenkqubo zokuvelisa zombini i-electrodes kufuneka zihambelane ngokusemandleni.
Ngenxa yokuba izibane ze-neon ziyimithombo yokukhanya yombane, ucoceko lwe-vacuum kufuneka lugcinwe kuyo yonke inkqubo yemveliso. Ukubambelela ngokuqinileyo kwiimfuno zetekhnoloji ye-electro{1}vacuum ekukhetheni izinto kunye nemveliso kubalulekile ukuqinisekisa umgangatho.
