Patent number: 11552457Abstract: A discharge device according to the present disclosure includes a discharge electrode and a voltage applicator that applies a voltage to the discharge electrode and thus causes discharge that is further developed from corona discharge at the discharge electrode. The discharge is discharge in which a discharge path is intermittently formed by dielectric breakdown so as to stretch from the discharge electrode to a surrounding. This discharge can be called leader discharge. This makes it possible to increase an amount of generated active component while keeping an increase of ozone small.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2017Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: PANASONIC INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CO., LTD.Inventors: Youhei Ishigami, Masaharu Machi, Takafumi Omori, Tomohiro Yamaguchi, Osamu Imahori, Tetsunori Aono, Takayuki Nakada, Yukari Nakano
