Abstract

A flexible ion generator device that includes a dielectric layer having a first end, a second end, a first side, a second side, a top side, and a bottom side, at least one trace positioned on the dielectric layer and having a plurality of emitters engaged to the at least one trace. A plurality of lights disposed on the dielectric layer.

Claims (31)

1. A flexible ion generator device, comprising:

a dielectric layer;

at least one trace positioned on the dielectric layer and having a plurality of emitters engaged to the trace; and

at least one ultra-violet (UV) light disposed on the dielectric layer.

2. The flexible ion generator device according to claim 1 , further comprising a conductive wire disposed on the dielectric layer and the at least one UV light is engaged to the conductive wire.

3. The flexible ion generator device according to claim 1 , further comprising a conductive wire disposed on the dielectric layer and a plurality of UV lights are engaged to the conductive wire.

4. The flexible ion generator device according to claim 1 , further comprising a conductive wire disposed on the dielectric layer and substantially parallel with the trace.

5. The flexible ion generator device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one trace is positioned in close proximity to a first side of the dielectric layer and is generally parallel with the first side of the dielectric layer, the at least one trace extends downwardly towards a second side of the dielectric layer to a first side of a contact point and then from a second side of the contact point the at least one trace extends towards a top side of the dielectric layer and extends generally parallel with the top side of the dielectric layer.

6. The flexible ion generator device according to claim 1 , further comprising a coupler having a base that extends to an outer edge and a first pair of opposed sidewalls and a second pair of opposed sidewalls extend upwardly from the outer edge to an upper edge, forming a cavity therein, a top portion is disposed on the upper edge, a slot is formed in one of the sidewalls extending from the external surface to the internal surface for receiving a first end of the dielectric layer.

7. The flexible ion generator device according to claim 1 , further comprising a layer disposed on the dielectric layer for creating a photocatalytic reaction.

8. A flexible ion generator device, comprising:

a dielectric layer having a top side and a bottom side;

at least one trace positioned on the dielectric layer and having a plurality of emitters engaged to the at least one trace;
