Abstract: A flat-panel gas discharge display operable with either alternating or direct current is free of implosive forces because it operates at least at substantially atmospheric pressure. The display comprises a first set of conductors disposed on a transparent substrate and a second set crossing over the first set at a distance therefrom. An array of components is formed at each location where a conductor of the second set crosses over a conductor of the first set. A gas is contained in the space between the first and second sets of conductors at each crosspoint. The gas will undergo light emissive discharge when a voltage greater than or equal to the Paschen minimum firing voltage is applied at a crosspoint. Air may be used as the operative gas. The display is formed on a single substrate, and may be stacked with additional displays in lieu of one or more capping layers. At least one of the sets of conductors may be provided with an aperture at each of the crosspoints to facilitate viewing the discharge. A system incorporating the flat-panel display is presented. A suitably wired flat-panel structure may constitute a flat-panel plasma discharge lamp for lighting applications.

Abstract translation: 平板气体放电型显示可与任一交流或直流是免费内爆力由于它至少在基本上大气压下操作。 所述显示器包括第一组以一定距离设置在在所述第一组中的透明基板和第二组交叉有导体。 组件阵列在其中第二组的导体跨越所述第一组的导体的每个位置上形成。 的气体被包含在每个交叉点的第一和第二组导体之间的空间中。 当到帕邢最小燃点电压大于或等于一个电压在一个交叉点施加气体将发生光发射的放电。 空气可以用作工作气体。 该显示器形成在单个基片，并且可以与以代替一个或多个盖层额外的显示器堆叠。 至少各组导体之一可以在孔被提供有在每个交叉点，以方便观看放电。 结合的平板式显示器的系统呈现。 甲适当有线平板结构可以构成用于照明应用的平板等离子体放电灯。
