Abstract
The invention relates to a silent discharge lamp in which support elements for supporting a top plate opposite a base plate are designed as a unipartite component of the top plate and have a tapering contour.
Claims19
A discharge lamp having a base plate, a top plate for the light exit, which is at least partially transparent, a discharge space between the base plate and the top plate for holding a discharge medium, an electrode set for producing dielectrically impeded discharges in the discharge medium, a dielectric layer between at least one part of the electrode set and the discharge medium, and at least one support element which produces a connection between the top plate and the base plate, characterized in that the support element is a supporting projection which is constructed as a unipartite component of the top plate, and the outer contour of the supporting projection tapers in the direction from the top plate toward the base plate in at least one cutting plane perpendicular to the base plate.
A display device having a discharge lamp as claimed in one of the preceding claims, which serves for backlighting the display device.
