  • Devices using flexible light emitting layer for creating disinfecting illuminated surface, and related methods
    Patent number: 11426474
    Abstract: A light emitting device which inactivates microorganisms is disclosed. The light emitting device may include a flexible light emitting layer emitting a light; and a transparent or translucent layer over the flexible light emitting layer. The light may travel through and exit an exterior surface of the transparent or translucent layer, creating an exiting light. The exiting light exiting the transparent or translucent layer may have at least a portion thereof having a wavelength in a range of 380 to 420 nanometers, and may disinfect the exterior surface of the transparent or translucent layer. The light emitting device may be used alone to create a self-disinfecting high touch surface, e.g., on a door, or may be shaped to mate with other structure to create a disinfecting high touch surface.

  • Cover with disinfecting illuminated surface
    Patent number: 10617774
    Abstract: A light emitting cover which inactivates microorganisms for covering a high touch surface is disclosed. The light emitting cover includes a body having an interior configured to cover at least a portion of the high touch surface and an exterior surface configured to be disinfected. At least an exterior portion of the body is transparent or translucent. A light emitter operably is coupled to the body for emitting a light through the exterior surface. The light exiting the exterior surface has at least a portion thereof having a wavelength in a range of 380 to 420 nanometers to disinfect the exterior surface.
