摘要

The invention relates to a flat light emitter (4) which is suitable for dielectrically impeded discharge. The inventive device comprises a discharge vessel (5) made of electrically non-conductive material fitted with strip-like electrodes (6, 7) which are arranged on the wall of said vessel (5). The cathodes (6) and the anodes (7a) are alternatively disposed next to each other. At least the anodes are separated from the inside of the discharge vessel (5) by means of a dielectric material (10). An additional anode (7b) is located between each adjacent cathode (6), i.e. a pair of anodes (7a, 7b) is respectively arranged between said cathodes (6). Such a design enables a homogenous discharge structure in addition to optimal usage of the discharge vessel.
