Abstract
A surface light-emitting device having a surface emitter for emitting visible light or ultraviolet light by electroluminescence also has multiple through-holes that define fluid channels for fluid flow in a direction orthogonal to the surface of the surface emitter. The present invention also provides an optically assisted ceramic filter composed of a ceramic filter having multiple channels, and a photocatalytic layer and surface emitter disposed on a side surface of the ceramic filter.
