An apparatus and method are disclosed for an open chamber photoluminescent lamp. The photoluminescent planar lamp is gas-filled and contains photoluminescent materials that emit visible light when the gas emits ultraviolet energy in response to a plasma discharge. The lamp comprises first and second opposing plates manufactured from a glass material having a loss tangent 0. 05%. In another embodiment the first and second plates have a dielectric constant greater than 5. In yet another embodiment, the first and second plates have a volume resistivity greater than 1Ã10 cm. A plurality of sidewalls are coupled to peripheral edges of the first and second plates so that the sidewalls and opposing surfaces of the first and second plates define an interior portion that contains the gas and photoluminescent material, and first and second spaced-apart electrodes disposed along an exterior surface of at least one of the first and second plates to create an electric field when electrical power is applied thereto whereby the electric field interacts with the gas contained by the interior chamber.

A planar photoluminescent lamp includes a plurality of glass spacer beads affixed to a first glass plate, and a second glass plate in contact with the glass spacer beads. The glass plates are hermetically sealed to form a chamber, which is filled with a selected gas. Transparent electrodes are placed on the exterior of the first and second glass plates, over which electrically insulating layers are extended. First and second semi-transparent decorative layers are laid over the insulating layers, out of which light is transmitted. One or more transparent insulating layers extend over transparent electrodes placed on the exterior surface of the first and second glass plates.

A lamp includes a plurality of channels filled with a gas. Electrodes are disposed adjacent to each of the plurality of channels to create respective paths for electrical discharge within the gas of each channel. A gas permeable passage is positioned between adjacent channels and permits a passage of gas molecules between adjacent channels while the electrical discharge is blocked between the plurality of channels.

An electroluminescent panel is formed on a conductive baseplate by a pair of electrodes that are electrically insulated from the baseplate. The first electrode is a base electrode that acts as the hot electrode. The second electrode is a transparent conductive cover electrode. The cover electrode is grounded to act as a reference electrode. An electroluminescent layer formed from a phosphor-impregnated glass separates the base electrode and cover electrode. Upon application of a voltage between the base electrode and cover electrode, the electroluminescent material emits light that is transmitted through the cover electrode toward a viewer. A passivation layer covers the cover electrode to protect and insulate the cover electrode. In one embodiment, the baseplate is grounded and the cover electrode is referenced to ground through a ground fault interrupt sensor. In another embodiment, a graphical layer overlays the cover electrode, beneath the passivation layer, to present a decorative or informative image.

A flat planar fluorescent lamp having barrier structures overlaying the electrodes is described. The barrier structures include barrier walls and platforms between the electrodes and the lamp cover with passageways between the platforms and the lamp cover. The barrier structures cause the electric discharge between the lamp electrodes to pass between the platforms and the lamp cover. The interior of the lamp and the top of the platform are coated with a fluorescent material such that the lamp produces light throughout its interior, including the region directly above the electrode, thereby providing a source of light in an area which would otherwise be a dark region surrounding the electrode. In one embodiment, a cold electrode, a hot electrode, an ion barrier, and a tubulation are formed in a glass seal as a single unit, placing the terminals of the electrodes and the tipped-off tubulation in a small region of the lamp to permit easier access and alignment. Two tubulations are used to permit the lamp to be pumped at locations adjacent the two electrodes to reduce problems associated with free ions in the region around the electrode.

A wide illumination range fluorescent lamp is described. The lamp utilizes three discrete sets of electrodes positioned to generate electric field to produce light energy within three distinct ranges of light intensity. The electrodes include primary electrodes for creating a plasma arc discharge through the lamp, a secondary electrode along the interior walls of the lamp to produce electric fields along the discharge channel and a transparent cover electrode coupled with a base electrode to produce an electric field between the cover and the base of the lamp. Each of the three sets of electrodes operates within a different brightness range such that together the three electrodes provide illumination across a range from 0. 1 foot-lamberts to 20,000 foot-lamberts. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the primary electrodes are housed within secondary housings bonded to the base of the lamps such that the electrodes are concealed beneath the base of the lamp.

A wide illumination range photoluminescent lamp utilizes a primary set of electrodes positioned to generate an plasma discharge along a serpentine channel to produce a high level of visible light. A pair of secondary electrodes may be activated to alter the discharge path for the plasma discharge such that a low level of visible output light is produced. The lamp includes a light guide diffuser over a transparent cover to diffuse the light in the low operational mode and generate uniform light over a wide range of illumination levels. The secondary electrodes may be mechanically activated or automatically activated based on the amount of ambient light.
