Abstract
Implementations disclosed herein provide systems and methods of automatically sterilizing a portable electronic device with ultraviolet (UV) radiation. In one implementation, the method includes distributing UV light substantially uniformly across an intended surface of a device in an enclosure, and sterilizing the intended surface using a calculated dosage of the UV light. In another implementation, an electronic device sterilization system includes an enclosure configured to selectively receive a device for sterilization using a calculated dosage of light, wherein the enclosure includes one or more LEDs, a first reflector configured to receive and reflect the light from the LEDs, and a second reflector configured to receive the light reflected from the first reflector and distribute the light uniformly onto an intended planar surface of the device.
