    Abstract: An array of complex shaped top fibers that each include an address electrode, barrier ribs to form a plasma channel and a phosphor coating on the plasma channel create structure in a plasma display panel. The top fiber array is disposed on the plate facing the viewer and the light generated by the phosphors must penetrate through the top fibers to the viewer. The top fibers can be composed of a colored material associated with the color phosphor layer to add color purity and contrast to the plasma panel. The sustain electrodes are placed on the plate facing away from the viewer and can be included in an array of fibers containing wire sustain electrodes. The sustain electrode surface does not need to be transmissive since the generated light is transmitted through the top fiber array. Therefore, the sustain electrodes can be composed of a reflective metal and cover the majority of the surface of the bottom plate. Covering a large percentage of the bottom plate with sustain electrodes causes the maximum spreading of the electric field and generates the highest plasma efficiency. The sustain electrode bottom plate or array can also be reflective to reflect both the UV light generated by the plasma back toward the phosphor layer and the visible light generated by the phosphor layer back toward the viewer.

    Abstract: A reflective display is formed using two orthogonal fiber arrays and an electro-optic material. The bottom fibers contain plasma channels, used to address the electro-optic material. Wire electrodes built into the fibers address both the plasma and the electro-optic material. The fibers are composed of glass, plastic or a combination of glass and plastic. Color is imparted into the display using colored fibers, adding a color coating to the surface of the fibers, or adding the color to the electro-optic material. The electro-optic material consists of a liquid crystal material, electrophoretic material, bichromal sphere material, electrochromic material, or any electro-optic material that can serve to create a reflective display. Another possible reflective displays is formed using an array of hollow tubes filled with an electrophoretic material sandwiched between two plates. The hollow tubes have either barrier walls or an electrostatic barrier, which restrict the flow of electrophoretic particles within the hollow tubes. The flow of electrophoretic particles over these barriers is controlled using electric fields, which makes it possible to matrix address the electrophoretic displays. Wire electrodes built into the hollow tubes and electrodes on the two plates are used to address the display. Reflectivity within the display is accomplished by using a reflective material to fabricate the tubes, coating the tubes with a reflective material or coating one of the two plates with a reflective material. The display can also function in a transmissive mode by applying an illuminating back to the display.

    Abstract: An array of complex shaped top fibers (47) that each include an address electrode (41), barrier ribs (42) to form a plasma channel and a phosphor coating on the plasma channel create the structure in a plasma display channel. The top fiber array (47) is disposed on the plate facing the viewer and the light generated by the phosphors must penetrate through the top fibers to the viewer. The top fibers can be composed of a colored material associated with the color phosphor layer to add color purity and contrast to the plasma panel. The sustain electrodes (33a, 33b) are placed on the plate facing way from the viewer and can be included in an array of fibers containing wire sustaining electrodes. The sustain electrode surface does not need to be transmissive since the generated light is transmitted through the top fiber array (47). Therefore, the sustain electrodes (33a, 33b) can be composed of a reflective metal and cover the majority of the surface of the bottom plate. The sustain electrode bottom plate or array can also be reflective to reflect both the UV light generated by the plasma back toward the phosphor layer and the visible light generated by the phosphor layer back toward the viewer.

    Abstract translation: 每个包括寻址电极(41),形成等离子体通道的阻挡肋(42)和等离子体通道上的荧光体涂层的复杂形状顶部光纤阵列(47)在等离子体显示通道中产生结构。 顶部光纤阵列(47)设置在面向观察者的板上,并且由磷光体产生的光必须穿过顶部光纤穿透观察者。 顶部纤维可以由与彩色磷光体层相关联的着色材料组成,以增加与等离子体面板的颜色纯度和对比度。 维持电极(33a,33b)被放置在与观察者相对的板上,并且可以包括在包含线保持电极的光纤阵列中。 维持电极表面不需要是透射的,因为所产生的光被透过顶部光纤阵列(47)。 因此,维持电极(33a,33b)可以由反射金属构成,并覆盖底板的大部分表面。 维持电极底板或阵列也可以是反射的,以将由等离子体产生的UV光朝向荧光体层反射,并且将由荧光体层产生的可见光反射回观察者。
