| Abstract |
This invention relates to a silent discharge lamp comprising a base plate (4);a top plate (3) for emitting being at least partially transparent;a discharge space (6)arranged between the base plate (4) and the top plate(3) for holding a discharge medium;an electrode set (5) for holding a discharge medium;an electrode set (5) for producing dielectrically impeded discharge (7)in the discharge medium ;a dieletric layer provided between at least one part of the electrode set (5) and the discharge medium;and at least one support element (1,2,12)producing a connection between the top plate (3) and the base plate (4).The at least one support element comprising a supporting projection (1,2,12)being configured as a unipartie component of the top palte (3);and in that the outer contour of the at least one supporting projection (1,2,12)tapers in a direction running from the top plate (3) to the base plate (4) in at least a cutting plane (A-A, B-B,C-C) which is perpendicular to the base plate (4). |
