Abstract:
Disclosed is an AC memory drive type self-shift type gas discharge panel which can prevent an accidental discharge caused by distributed abnormal charges which are stored at both ends of the shift channel. A path for leaking the abnormal charges is provided in the overlying dielectric layer at positions covering the outermost electrodes defining the end discharge cells. The leakage path can be provided by means of a crevice extending from an edge of the relevant electrode to the surface of the dielectric layer.
Abstract:
In order to prevent abnormal wall charge accumulation, and thereby to prevent accidental erroneous discharges resulting from such abnormal accumulation, paths for leakage of wall charges accumulated on dielectric layers 3 are provided in dielectric layers 3 corresponding to a write electrode W1 at one end of a shift channel and a final shift electrode y2n at the other end of the shift channel. A path for leakage of wall charges may be provided by a crevice 11 in the dielectric layer 3 which extends from the surface of the dielectric layer 3 to the surface of the write electrode W1 or the surface of the final shift electrode y2n. Other means of providing such a leakage path are also disclosed.
Abstract:
An AC-type gas discharge display includes a base (1), discharge tubes (2R;2G;2B) which are arranged on the base (1) in parallel to each other and which contain fluorescent phosphors, data electrodes (13) formed on the external surfaces of the discharge tubes (2R;2G;2B) such that the data electrodes (13) extend in the longitu dinal direction of the discharge tubes (2R;2G;2B), and display electrodes (11) formed in pairs on the external surfaces of the discharge tubes (2R;2G;2B) at the opposite side of the data electrodes (13) such that the display electrodes (11) intersect the discharge tubes (2R;2G;2B). Each of the discharge tubes (2R;2G;2B) has a flattened elliptical shape in cross-section thereof and includes a pair of flat portions. The data electrodes (13) are formed on one of the flat portions and scanning electrodes (11) and common electrodes (11) are alternately arranged on the other one of the flat portions, and the discharge tubes (2R;2G;2B) are supported by the base (1) at one or the other one of the flat portions.
Abstract:
A display tube (1) is provided that can improve light emission efficiency without raising a breakdown voltage. The display tube (1) has a tubular vessel (10) defining a discharge gas space and a pair (20) of display electrodes (21, 22) for generating surface discharge along the circumferential surface of the vessel (10) and opposing discharge traversing the inside of the vessel (10).
Abstract:
An AC driving surface discharge display panel has a matrix arrangement of a plurality of display dots each of which comprises a pair of display cell and selection cell. Firstly, all display cells on a selected line are simultaneously fired, by applying a firing voltage between pairing parallel display electrodes defining said display cell line. Next, a discharge information stored unwanted display cell among said fired display cell line is selectively erased by discharging an adjacent pairing selection cell. An address sequence of the present invention comprising the line firing step and selective erasing step is performed with wide operation margin.

Abstract:
A surface discharge type plasma display panel (PDP) includes a pair of front and rear substrates (11, 21) with a discharge space (30) therebetween and a plurality of pair display electrodes on internal surface of either the front or rear substrate. The display electrodes extend along each display line L. The PDP further includes a light shielding film (45), extending in bands along the display line direction, formed on either internal or outer surfaces of the front substrate (11) to overlay each area S2 between the adjacent display lines L and extending between the display electrodes X and Y.
