The invention discloses a self-cleaning filter screen and an air conditioner, and relates to the technical field of air conditioner self-cleaning. The self-cleaning filter screen comprises a
metal net, an insulating frame, an N-type
semiconductor, a P-type
semiconductor and a
direct current power supply device, the
metal net is arranged on the inner ring of the insulating frame, and one end of themetal net is connected with the insulating frame through the N-type
semiconductor; and the end, away from the N-type semiconductor, of the
metal net is connected with the insulating frame through theP-type semiconductor, the positive
electrode of the
direct current power supply device is electrically connected with the P-type semiconductor, and the negative
electrode of the
direct current powersupply device is electrically connected with the N-type semiconductor. The air conditioner comprises an indoor unit, a filter screen is arranged in the indoor unit, and the self-cleaning filter screenis adopted as the filter screen. The self-cleaning filter screen can automatically cool,
frost, heat and defrost without disassembly or use of an electric heater, so that the cleaning is simple, convenient and quick; and the air conditioner uses the self-cleaning filter screen, maintenance is convenient, the refrigerating or
heating effect is prevented from being reduced, and the user experienceis improved.
