Abstract:
Flat radiator lamp for dielectric barrier discharges (14) having a discharge vessel, which is filled with a gas fill and has an essentially flat base plate (1), an essentially flat and at least partially transparent cover plate (2), a frame (15) connecting the plates and at least one spacer (3) supporting the two plates (1, 2) with respect to one another, and having anodes (11) and cathodes (12) which are at least partially of strip type and are arranged substantially offset in parallel with one another in a projection on a flat plane, a dielectric layer being arranged between the anodes and the gas fill, and having electrode structures (13) for spatially fixing partial discharges (14),characterized in that the electrode structures (11, 12) fix the partial discharges (14) in alternating sequence on both sides of a cathode strip, and the spacer (3) is completely separated from the frame (15) by an interspace and is arranged in the projection between the electrode strips (11, 12) at least with its seating surfaces with the plates (1, 2), and is arranged between the sites of fixed partial discharges and, in this case, between the sites of two partial discharges adjacent on the same side.
