An apparatus configured to disinfect a vehicle is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a first electrode substantially coating a portion of a partially light transmissive panel. A plurality of printed light emitting diodes (LEDs) is suspended in a semiconductor ink on the first electrode and configured to emit a disinfecting emission. A second electrode is in electrical connection with the plurality of LEDs. In connection with the second electrode and/or one or more intermediate layers a light transmitting layer is disposed forming an interior surface of the glass panel. The light transmitting layer is operable to transmit at least a portion of the disinfecting emission therethrough such that the portion of the disinfecting emission impinges upon an interior surface of the vehicle.
