FLAT UV LAMP WITH COPLANAR DISCHARGE AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The invention concerns a flat lamp (1) transmitting an ultraviolet radiation (UV), comprising: first and second flat or substantially flat glass elements (2, 3) maintained substantially mutually parallel and delimiting an internal space filled with gas (10) capable of emitting said UV radiation or of exciting a phosphorous material optionally present and emitting said UV radiation, said phosphorous material being then arranged on one surface of the first and/or of the second glass element, the first and/or second glass element (2, 3) being made of a material transmitting said UV radiation; a plurality of pairs of electrodes (41, 51) capable of being at different potentials and of being powered by an alternating voltage, said pairs being associated with the first glass element and arranged outside the internal space, the electrodes being in the form of strips and/or wires in the first glass element or in another dielectric element associated with the first glass element. The invention also concerns the uses of said lamp.
