Abstract:
A flat DC gas discharge panel comprising two opposed glass plates sealed with a space for gas therebetween and having a plurality of anode and cathode electrodes, respectively mounted on opposite plates in a matrix fashion and further including a plurality of parallel insulator ribs which intersect the cathode electrodes at right angles and further provide physical separation between the glass plates and the adjacent cathode segments. A plurality of parallel barrier electrodes are mounted on one of the plates in alignment with the insulator ribs so as to maintain the glow from an illuminated section isolated from adjacent sections.
Abstract:
A display apparatus includes a first panel having an electrode provided on one surface thereof, a second panel having an electrode provided on the surface thereof facing to the electrode of the first panel, display material intervened between the electrodes of the first and second panels and a spacer disposed between the first and second panels, the peripheral portions of the first and second panels being sealed by sealing material. In this case, one of the first and second panels comprises a substrate and an elastic plate which is sealed to the substrate with its periphery, and fluid is sealed into a space defined by the substrate and elastic plate with such a pressure that the elastic plate contacts the spacer.
Abstract:
A video display system employing a flat display panel of X-Y matrix type, signal sampling means, "write in" and "read out" memory circuits serially connected between the signal sampling means and the display panel, and a novel signal control means connected to the "write in" and "read our" memory circuits wherein the number of lines or leads for distributing signals from the "read out" memory circuits to the display panel and the number of memory devices used in the "read out" memory circuits are reduced substantially.
Abstract:
A video display system employing a flat display panel of the crossed-grid or X-Y matrix type, signal sampling means, and "write in" and "read out" memory circuits serially connected between the signal sampling means and the display panel, is provided with a novel signal control means connected to the "write in" and "read out" memory circuits whereby the number of lines or leads for distributing signals mainly from the "read out" memory circuits to the display panel is greatly reduced. The sampled signals are digitally coded and transmitted sequentially to the "write in" memory circuits during an effective picture period of a horizontal scanning period. Each of the "read out" memory circuits includes a plurality of serially connected memory devices forming a shift register and has a single input terminal to which signals are transmitted from the corresponding "write in" memory circuit in a short interval between successive effective picture periods, and a single output terminal connected to a corresponding one of the Y-driving circuits of the display panel. The signals are read out from lower bits to higher bits with different intervals corresponding to the weight of the digitally coded signal so as to drive each Y-driving circuit with the signals read out from the output terminal of the respective "read out" memory circuit.
Abstract:
A flat panel display device which has first and second insulating plates with at least one of the plates being transparent. A first plurality of parallel extending electrodes is mounted on one side of the first plate and at least a second electrode is mounted on one side of the second plate and covered with an insulating layer. A third plurality of parallel extending electrodes is mounted on the insulating layer at a predetermined angle to the first electrodes with the first electrodes being spaced from and opposed to the third electrodes so as to define a cross-conductor matrix. A plurality of parallel insulating barriers is mounted between the first electrodes with trigger and sequence pulses connected to the various electrodes so as to produce display signals so as to substantially reduce the number of driving electrodes required and also to reduce the driving voltages.
