The Microplasma Advantage

The limitations of conventional macro-scale plasmas are inherent to their structure, and can only be solved by moving to microcavity plasma technology, or Microplasma for short. Microplasma lighting offers the following benefits, without compromising the advantages of standard plasma technology:

• Microcavity plasma technology combines a new electrode design and configuration. The electrodes are close together and allow a Mercury-free gas mixtures to be used while still achieving high efficiency.
  
  
• Close electrode spacing permits operation at near atmospheric pressure, which allows for new thin and flat form factors that previous generation technologies could not achieve
  
  
• Flat panel technology allows for high efficacy slim luminaires without the need of an external reflector to direct the light.
