Microplasma Lighting: How it Works

1. Low energy/high intensity lamps are comprised of large arrays containing thousands of microcavities in a thin, dielectric barrier structure
   
   
2. These multilayer microplasma devices consist of an anode, a cathode, and a series of small cavities which are filled with an emitter
   
   
3. When a voltage is applied, a microplasma is formed inside each small cavity which produces a vibrant light source
   
   
4. Specific lighting depends on the emitter wavelengths (colors), and can be made in virtually any configuration
